Abstract

It is known that in the case of multiple crashes insurance companies charge the costs equally to all participants in each case because of a lack of accident reconstructions. Moreover, it is not possible to determine the vehicle drivers who maintain speeds and distances as laid down in regulations. The crash indicator described in the invention provides a possibility here of indicating at which point the first collision occurred. At the same time, it is also possible for the speed last held before the first crash to be indicated and stored. The previously known speed recorders and acceleration pick-ups do not permit this information. An expanded crash indicator, or one supplemented in accordance with the subclaims, counts overshoots of freely adjustable retardation or acceleration values. Overshoots indicate the nature of the driving with respect to the retardation and acceleration behaviour of the vehicle drivers. It is possible to aim at a substantially kinder use of hired vehicles or official vehicles, buses etc. The gentle way of driving results in fuel saving. Furthermore, there is the prospect that an expanded crash indicator will be confirmed as leading to a gentle way of driving where there is an urge, for sporting performance as well. The number of signal triggerings arising from desired overshootings of acceleration or retardation is directly connected to fuel consumption. Thus, minimising signals automatically yields the ...

Description

Aufgaben:Tasks:

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Massenkarambolagen festzuhalten bzw. nachzuweisen, welches Fahrzeug zeitlich zuerst auf ein anderes aufgefahren ist. Sie erlaubt weiterhin erwünschte einstellbare Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsüberschreitungen zu zählen und bei Einzel zu sammenstößen diese und die Stoßrichtung nachzuweisen.The invention is based on the object of holding on to pile-ups or to prove which vehicle hit another first is. It also allows the desired, adjustable deceleration or acceleration to be exceeded to count and to prove this and the direction of impact in the case of individual collisions.

Außerdem liefern die Gechwindigkeitswerte des eigenen Fahrzeuges zum Zeitpunkt des Zusammenstoßes (Auffahrgeschwindigkeit) wichtige Daten zur Rekonstruktion des Unfallvorganges. Nach einem Zusammenstoß erfolgt ein zeitlich einstellbares Signal, welches beliebig andere Steuer-oder Regelvorgänge wie "Gurt lösen, Türen öffnen, Achtungs- oder Hilfesignale geben, usw." auslösen kann.In addition, the speed values of your own vehicle deliver to the Time of the collision (collision speed) important data for reconstruction of the accident process. After a collision there is a time-adjustable Signal, which any other control or regulation processes such as "loosen belt, doors open, give attention or help signals, etc. "can trigger.

Beschreibung: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungs-Anzeigegerät. Eine Erweiterung des Gerätes ist nach den Unterbegriffen möglich. Die Unterbegriffe selbst sind gleichfalls Erfindungsbestandteil. Die Endwertblockierung erlaubt die Angaben bzw. den Nachweis, an welcher räumlichen Stelle des Fahrzeuges ein erster Stoß erfolgte.Description: The invention relates to a deceleration or acceleration display device. An extension of the device is possible according to the sub-terms. The sub-terms themselves are also part of the invention. The end value blocking allows the Information or proof of the location in the vehicle where a first Shock occurred.

Es ist bekannt, daß bei Serienunfällen von Fahrzeugen die einzelnen Fahrzeuge so beschädigt sind, daß ein Nachweis über die erste Stelle des Zusammenstoßes (z. B. vorn oder hinten am Fahrzeug) nicht möglich ist. Der Crashanzeiger gibt durch die Speicherung des ersten überschrittenen einstellbaren Beschleunigungs- bzw. Verzögerungswertes die Richtung des ersten Stoßes an. Nach dem Unteranspruch 2 erlaubt der Crashanzeiger gleichzeitig die digitale Geschwindigkeit kurz vor einem Zusammenstoß zu speichern und nachzuweisen. Nach dem Unteranspruch 3 ist die Beurteilung des Fahrcharakters (sanftes oder stoßweises Beschleunigen oder Verzögern) von Fahrzeugführern entsprechend der gezählten Signale möglich.It is known that in serial accidents of vehicles the individual Vehicles are so damaged that evidence of the first point of the collision (e.g. at the front or rear of the vehicle) is not possible. The crash indicator announces the storage of the first exceeded adjustable acceleration or deceleration value the direction of the first impact. According to dependent claim 2, the crash indicator allows at the same time to save the digital speed shortly before a collision and prove. According to dependent claim 3 is the assessment of the driving character (gentle or jerky acceleration or deceleration) by vehicle drivers accordingly of the counted signals possible.

Claims (3)

Patentansprüche: 1. Crashanzeiger zum Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsnachweis mit Endwertblockierung insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge aller Art, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß bei Verzögerungen bzw. Beschleunigungen durch die Wirkung der Trägheitskraft ein Masseteil (vorwiegend Kugel oder Pendel) verschoben wird und bei Überschreitung von einstellbaren Beschleunigungs- bzw. Verzögerungswerten in einer End-oder Nachweisstellung blockiert wird, die auch die Richtung des Stoßes kennzeichnet.Claims: 1. Crash indicator for deceleration or acceleration detection with final value blocking, especially for vehicles of all types, characterized in that that with decelerations or accelerations by the effect of the inertial force a mass part (predominantly ball or pendulum) is shifted and when exceeded of adjustable acceleration or deceleration values in a final or verification position is blocked, which also indicates the direction of the shock. 2. Crashanzeiger erweiterbar gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß digitale Gechwindigkeitswerte vor einem ersten Zusammenstoß erhalten bleiben, wenn durch die Endwertblockierung nach Anspruch 1 ein Signal ausgelöst wurde. Das ausgelöste Signal läßt auch andere Steuervorgänge bzw. Regelvorgänge zu.2. Expandable crash indicator characterized in that digital Speed values before a first collision are retained when through the final value blocking according to claim 1 a signal was triggered. The triggered Signal also allows other control processes or regulation processes. 3. Crashanzeiger nach Anspruch 1 und 2 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in beliebig anderen einstellbaren Stellungen von Beschleunigungs- bzw. Verzögerungswerten ein zähl-und/oder speicherbares Signal erfolgt, wenn die Endwertblockierung noch nicht erreicht wurde.3. Crash indicator according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that in any other adjustable position of acceleration or deceleration values a countable and / or storable signal occurs when the end value blocking is still active was not reached.
