Abstract

The invention relates to a guide system (20) placed along roadsides (13, 14), preferably in tunnels, that has guide elements and support bodies (30) which are anchored in the ground and which hold said guide elements. These guide elements are formed by roller elements (21, 22) which are coaxially arranged in a row, which are rotatably mounted at the support bodies (30) and which are arranged above the road surface (11) at a distance which is approximately equal to half the wheel diameter of vehicles (18). This significantly increases the amount of protection provided to vehicles as they near the sides of the road. These guide elements which are comprised of roller elements make possible a softer impact of a vehicle since usually the vehicle wheels come in contact first with the guide elements. The guide elements also provide a type of guidance of the forward-moving vehicle (18) during contact by virtue of the resulting rotation of the roller elements.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leitsystem entlang von Strassenrändern, vorzugsweise in Tunnels, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a guidance system along roadsides, preferably in tunnels, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einem bekannten System sind die entlang dem Strassenrand verlaufenden Leitelemente als sogenannte Leitplanken aus einem länglichen Metallprofil mit wellen- oder andersförmigen Querschnitten gebildet. Solche Leitplanken bieten in der Regel einen ausreichenden Schutz für Fahrzeuge, welche aus irgendwelchen Gründen gegen diese Leitplanken prallen, damit sie nicht von der Strasse abkommen und über ein Bord hinunterfallen, mit einem neben der Strasse befindlichen Gegenstand, wie zum Beispiel mit einem Baum, einer Felswand oder dergleichen, kollidieren.In a known system, those are along the roadside Guiding elements as so-called guardrails made of an elongated metal profile formed with wavy or other cross-sections. Such Guardrails usually provide adequate protection for vehicles, which crash against these guardrails for some reason they don't stray from the street and fall off a board, with an object next to the street, such as with collide with a tree, a rock face or the like.

Nachteilig bei diesen herkömmlichen Leitplanken erweisen sich die bei einem Aufprall mit Sicherheit entstehenden Schäden wenigstens beim Fahrzeug und gegebenenfalls auch bei der Leitplanke. Ein solcher Aufprall kann auch dazu führen, dass das Fahrzeug nach der Kollision mit der Leitplanke unkontrolliert wieder in die Strasse zurück katapultiert wird und hierbei möglicherweise andere passierende Fahrzeuge in Gefahr bringen kann.The disadvantage of these conventional guardrails is that an impact with certainty damage at least when Vehicle and possibly also the guardrail. Such an impact can also cause the vehicle to collide with the crash barrier is catapulted back into the street uncontrolled and this may put other passing vehicles at risk can.

In Tunnels sind in der Regel keine Leitplanken, sondern es sind lediglich Randsteine mit entsprechenden Absätzen vorgesehen. Diese Absätze bieten jedoch für Fahrzeuge, welche aus unvorgesehenen Gründen gegen diese prallen, einen sehr schlechten Schutz, denn mit diesen besteht eine grosse Gefahr, dass ein Fahrzeug zum einen sehr schnell stark beschädigt wird und zum andern sich überschlagen kann oder - wie bereits oben erwähnt - wieder zurück auf die Fahrspur und möglicherweise auf die Gegenspur zurückgeschlagen wird.There are usually no guardrails in tunnels, they are just Curbs provided with appropriate paragraphs. These paragraphs offer however for vehicles which for unforeseen reasons against this bounce, a very bad protection, because with this there is a great deal Danger of a vehicle being severely damaged very quickly is and on the other hand can turn over or - as already mentioned above - back on the lane and possibly on the opposite lane is repelled.

Bei einem gattungsmässigen Leitsystem US-A-1 969 845 sind entlang des Strassenrandes verlaufende, aus koaxial aneinandergereihten Rollenelementen gebildete Leitelemente und diese haltende, jeweils mit einem Teil am Boden befestigte Stützkörper vorgesehen. Die Rollenelemente sind oberhalb der Strassenoberfläche in einem annähernd dem halben Raddurchmesser von Fahrzeugen entsprechenden Abstand angeordnet und an beiden Enden jeweils bei einer mit dem am Boden befestigten Teil verbundenen Stützplatte 16 drehbar gelagert. Die Stützplatten sind senkrecht zur Strassenoberfläche angeordnet. Die Drehachse der Rollenelemente ist gegenüber der zur Fahrspur hin zugewandten Seite der Stützplatte 16 und des am Boden befestigten Teiles zurückversetzt, so dass die Rollenelemente nur geringfügig zur Fahrspur hin gegenüber der Stützplatte 16 hervorstehen und mit dem Teil sogar etwa in gleicher vertikalen Ebene liegen. Dies bedeutet, dass eine Gefahr besteht, dass das Rad tangential neben dem Rollenelement auch den am Boden befestigten Teil touchieren kann oder - nachdem dass der Pneu beim Aufprall auf das Rollenelement etwas eingedrückt wurde - auch auf die zur Fahrspur hin zugewandte Seite der Stützplatte anstösst. Dies würde dazu führen, dass wenn ein an dem Rollenelement auffahrendes Fahrzeug mit seinem Rad an der Stützplatte hängen bleiben würde, dass dann das Fahrzeug insgesamt unkontrolliert auf die Strasse zurück katapultiert werden und damit erhebliche Gefahren für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer entstehen könnten.In a generic guidance system US-A-1 969 845 are along the Roadside running, from coaxially lined up roller elements formed guide elements and these, each with a part support body attached to the floor is provided. The role elements are above the road surface in approximately half the wheel diameter distance from vehicles arranged and on both ends at one connected to the part fastened to the floor Support plate 16 rotatably mounted. The support plates are vertical arranged to the street surface. The axis of rotation of the roller elements is opposite the side of the support plate 16 and facing the lane of the part fastened to the floor set back so that the roller elements protrude only slightly towards the lane opposite the support plate 16 and even lie with the part in approximately the same vertical plane. This means that there is a risk that the wheel will be tangential next to it the roller element can also touch the part attached to the floor or - after the tire hits something on the roller element was pressed in - also on the side of the Support plate abuts. This would result in one being on the roller element hang up the vehicle with its wheel on the support plate would remain that then the vehicle as a whole uncontrolled the road back to be catapulted and with it significant dangers for other road users could arise.

Eine Vorrichtung nach der Druckschrift US-A-2,927,513 weist ebenfalls entlang des Strassenrandes verlaufende, aus koaxial aneinandergereihten Rohren und diese haltende Stützkörper auf. Diese Rohre müssen tief genug angeordnet sein, damit ein dieses touchierendes Fahrzeug nicht beschädigt werde. Dadurch besteht jedoch die Gefahr, dass der Wagen bei einem Aufprall mit diesem Leitsystem abgehoben und daraus eher eine verschlimmernde Wirkung auf den abhebenden Wagen hervorgerufen wird. Bei den Stützkörpern verlaufen ihre gegen die Strasse hin gerichteten Vorderseiten gegenüber der Rohre jeweils fast bündig vertikal nach unten und stellen folglich ein weiteres Gefahrenpotential für ein aufprallendes Fahrzeug dar.A device according to US-A-2,927,513 also has along the roadside, made of coaxially lined up Pipes and these supporting bodies. These pipes need to be deep enough be arranged so that a vehicle touching this is not damaged will. However, there is a risk that the car will be with one Impact lifted off with this guidance system and more of an aggravating one Effect on the lifting car is caused. In the case of the supporting bodies, their front sides run towards the street almost flush with the tubes vertically downwards and consequently represent a further potential hazard for an impacting vehicle represents.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung wurde demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrundegelegt, ein Leitsystem nach der eingangs erwähnten Gattung zu schaffen, welches bei einfacher und kostengünstiger Herstellung eine verbesserte Sicherheit für Fahrzeuge bietet, welche von der Strasse abkommen.The present invention was based on the object to create a control system according to the type mentioned at the beginning, which is improved with simple and inexpensive production Offers safety for vehicles that stray from the street.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäss nach den Merkmalen des Anspruches I gelöst.According to the invention, the object is according to the features of claim I solved.

Mit diesem erfindungsgemässen Leitsystem kann die Sicherheit von Fahrzeugen, welche gegen die Strassenränder fahren, erheblich verbessert werden. Diese aus Rollenelementen bestehenden Leitelemente ermöglichen zum einen einen sanfteren Aufprall eines Fahrzeuges, da dieses meistens mit seinen Rädern als erstes diese Leitelemente berühren und zum andern bei der Berührung durch die entstehende Drehung der Rollenelemente eine Art Führung des sich vorwärtsbewegenden Fahrzeuges entsteht. Dieses kann somit vom Lenker sicher abgebremst und zum Stillstand gebracht werden, ohne dass an diesem Schäden, oder zumindest nur geringfügige Schäden entstehen.With this control system according to the invention, the safety of vehicles, which drive against the side of the road will be significantly improved. Enable these guide elements consisting of roller elements on the one hand a gentler impact of a vehicle, since this is mostly first touch these guide elements with his wheels and then touch them when touched by the resulting rotation of the roller elements Kind of guidance of the moving vehicle arises. This can thus be safely braked by the handlebar and brought to a standstill be without any damage to it, or at least minor Damage occurs.

Als sehr vorteilhaft hat sich bei ausgedehnten Versuchen herausgestellt, dass mit einem solchen erfindungsgemässen Leitsystem eine bedeutend geringere Gefahr besteht, dass ein Fahrzeug wieder zurück auf die Fahrbahn geschleudert wird.It has turned out to be very advantageous in extensive tests that with such a control system according to the invention a significant there is less risk of a vehicle getting back on the road is thrown.

Fig.1 und Fig.2 zeigen ein Leitsystem 20 an einer Autostrasse, von welcher der Strassenrand 13 im Querschnitt veranschaulicht ist. Von diesem Strassenrand 13 ist das Fundament 12, die Strassenoberfläche 11, ein sich senkrecht zu dieser erhebender Absatz 14 und ein erhöhter horizontaler Gehsteg 16 ersichtlich. Ein solcher Strassenrand 13 präsentiert sich vielerorts, insbesondere auch in Tunnels, wie beispielsweise im Gotthard-Autotunnel, einem der längsten Strassentunnel Europas.1 and 2 show a control system 20 on an automobile road, of which the roadside 13 is illustrated in cross section. Of this Roadside 13 is the foundation 12, the road surface 11, itself perpendicular to this elevating paragraph 14 and an elevated horizontal Walkway 16 can be seen. Such a roadside 13 presents itself in many places, especially in tunnels such as the Gotthard car tunnel, one of the longest road tunnels in Europe.

Erfindungsgemäss sind entlang dem Strassenrand 13 verlaufende Leitelemente aus koaxial aneinandergereihten Rollenelementen 21, 22 gebildet, welche bei Stützkörpern 30 drehbar gelagert und oberhalb der Strassenoberfläche 11 in einem annähernd dem halben Durchmesser eines Rades 15 eines Fahrzeuges 18 gebildeten Abstand angeordnet sind.According to the invention, guide elements running along the roadside 13 formed from coaxially arranged roller elements 21, 22, which is rotatably supported in support bodies 30 and above the street surface 11 in approximately half the diameter of a wheel 15 of a vehicle 18 distance are arranged.

Diese aus den Rollenelementen 21, 22 erstellten Leitelemente sind derart am Strassenrand 13 beispielsweise eines bestehenden Tunnels befestigt, dass sie zu dem beim Strassenrand 13 vorhandenen Absatz 14 in einem geringen Abstand von einem bis zu fünf Zentimetern in Richtung der Fahrspur 11 vorstehen. Dies ermöglicht im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass wenn das Fahrzeug 18 gegen den Strassenrand 13 fährt, dass es in der Regel vorerst mit seinem vorderen Rad 15 als erstes diese Leitelemente berührt und zum andern bei der Berührung durch die entstehende Drehung des jeweiligen Rollenelementes 21, 22 eine Art Führung des sich an diesem entlang bewegenden Fahrzeuges 18 entsteht, von dem ferner noch die Frontseite 19 angedeutet ist. Das Auto kann somit vom darin befindlichen Lenker sicher abgebremst und zum Stillstand gebracht werden, ohne dass an diesem Schäden, oder zumindest nur geringfügige Schäden, entstehen.These guide elements created from the roller elements 21, 22 are of this type attached to the roadside 13 of an existing tunnel, for example, that they correspond to the existing paragraph 14 at the roadside 13 in one small distance of one to five centimeters in the direction of the lane 11 project. This enables within the scope of the invention that if the vehicle 18 drives against the roadside 13 that it usually first touches these guide elements with its front wheel 15 and on the other hand when touched by the resulting rotation of the respective Roller element 21, 22 a kind of leadership of this along moving vehicle 18, of which also the Front 19 is indicated. The car can thus of the one in it Handlebars are braked safely and brought to a standstill without this damage, or at least only minor damage.

Diese die Leitelemente bildenden Rollenelemente 21, 22 bestehen zweckmässigerweise jeweils aus einem verzinkten Metallrohr, wobei sie im Prinzip auch noch mit einem weichen Gummiüberzug oder dergleichen bestückt sein könnten. An beiden Enden sind die Rollenelemente 21, 22 von je einem am Stützkörper 30 angeordneten Wälzlager 23 drehbar gehalten. Der Stützkörper 30 hat zwei im Fundament 12 verankerte Widerhaken 32 oder dergleichen, einen mit diesen verbundenen, auf dem Boden stehender Profilträger mit einer Tragplatte 31 und eine beim Profilträger gegen die Fahrspur hin vorstehende Stützplatte 25, die mit ihrer Schmalseite zwischen zwei Rollenelementen 21, 22 liegt und ihr beidseitig je ein das Wälzlager 23 tragendes Halteglied 24 zugeordnet ist. Die Stützplatte 25 ist mit solchen Aussenabmessungen versehen, dass sie zumindest auf der gegen die Fahrspur 11 zugekehrten Seite mit Bezug auf die Rollenelemente 21, 22 nicht vorstehend angeordnet ist.These roller elements 21, 22 forming the guide elements expediently exist each made of a galvanized metal tube, being in Principle also with a soft rubber cover or the like could be equipped. The roller elements 21, 22 are at both ends held rotatably by a roller bearing 23 arranged on the support body 30. The support body 30 has two barbs anchored in the foundation 12 32 or the like, one connected to them, on the floor standing profile carrier with a support plate 31 and one at the profile carrier against the lane protruding support plate 25 with its narrow side is between two roller elements 21, 22 and one each on both sides the roller bearing 23 supporting member 24 is assigned. The support plate 25 is provided with such external dimensions that they at least the side facing the lane 11 with respect to the roller elements 21, 22 is not arranged above.

Des weiteren grenzen die Rollenelemente 21, 22 beim Stützkörper annähernd lückenlos aneinander an, damit ein sich mit wenigstens einem Rad 15 an diesen Rollenelementen touchierendes Fahrzeug 18 auch bei diesen Übergängen ohne Unterbruch an diesen Rollenelementen geführt ist. Sie sind hierbei derart ausgelegt, dass sie die durch das Fahrzeug 18 entstehenden Aufprallkräfte bis zu einem gewissen Grad ohne Deformierung aufnehmen können.Furthermore, the roller elements 21, 22 approximately limit the support body to each other without gaps, so that one with at least one wheel 15 vehicle 18 touching these roller elements also in these Transitions without interruption is performed on these roller elements. she are designed such that they are generated by the vehicle 18 Impact forces to a certain extent without deformation be able to record.

Die Rollenelemente 21, 22 weisen je eine Länge von einem bis fünf Metern auf und zwischen diesen ist je ein Stützkörper 30 vorgesehen. Sie sind beispielsweise durch die gesamte Tunnellänge an beiden Strassenrändern in der Art einer Rohrleitung montiert.The roller elements 21, 22 each have a length of one to five meters a support body 30 is provided on and between these. they are for example through the entire length of the tunnel on both sides of the road mounted in the manner of a pipe.

Fig.3 und Fig.4 zeigen eine andere Variante eines erfindungsgemässen Leitsystems 40, von dem nachfolgend nurmehr die Unterschiede zu demjenigen nach Fig.1 erläutert sind. Der hauptsächliche Unterschied besteht hierbei darin, dass sich der Absatz 54 beim Strassenrand 53 nicht senkrecht, sondern in einem Winkel von cirka 45° zur Fahrspur 11 erstreckt. 3 and 4 show another variant of an inventive one Control system 40, of which only the differences from that are explained according to Fig.1. The main difference is here in that the paragraph 54 at the roadside 53 is not perpendicular, but extends at an angle of approximately 45 ° to lane 11.

Eine auf einer Sockelplatte 50 befestigte Stützplatte 45 kann somit unmittelbar auf diesem Absatz 54 stehen und die Rollenelemente 21, 22 sind wiederum an Wälzlagern 23 oder ähnlichem drehbar gelagert. Sie sind im Rahmen der Erfindung oberhalb der Strassenoberfläche 11 in einem annähernd dem halben Durchmesser eines Fahrzeugrades gebildeten Abstand angeordnet und sie ermöglichen hierdurch eine optimale Führung eines Fahrzeuges, welches aus unvorgesehenen Gründen gegen den Strassenrand fährt.A support plate 45 fastened on a base plate 50 can thus directly stand on this paragraph 54 and the roller elements 21, 22 are in turn, rotatably mounted on roller bearings 23 or the like. You are in Framework of the invention above the road surface 11 in an approximate half the diameter of a vehicle wheel formed distance arranged and thereby enable optimal guidance of a Vehicle, which for unforeseen reasons against the roadside moves.

Mit dem Leitsystem 20' gemäss Fig.5 ist verdeutlicht, dass sich dieses im Rahmen der Erfindung auch in einer Kurve anwenden lässt, wie dies beispielsweise in einem Parkhaus mit einem relativ kleinen Radius, aber auch in einer Strassenkurve mit einem grösseren Radius auftreten kann. Das eine längliche Rollenelement 21 ist hierbei mit dem annähernd im rechten Winkel zu diesem angeordneten Rollenelement 22 durch mehrere zueinander abgewinkelte Rollenelemente 61 verbunden. Diese Rollenelemente 61 bilden auf der Innenseite einen kontinuierlich verlaufenden Radius R und bei den Rollenelementen 21, 22 einen linienförmigen Übergang, so dass wenn ein Fahrzeug mit seinem Rad 15 gegen diese Rollenelemente 61 fährt, das Fahrzeug entlang dieser Rollenelemente 61 geführt ist. Diese Rollenelemente 61 sind jeweils auf einer Welle 65 gelagert, wobei mit Vorteil ein Wälzlager 66 vorhanden ist, um ein einwandfreies Drehen des Rollenelementes auf der Welle zu ermöglichen. Die Welle 65 ist vom einen bis zum anderen Rollenelement 21, 22 durchgehend angeordnet und an den Stützkörpern 60 befestigt. Es ist hierbei bezweckt, dass dieses Leitsystem im Stand ist, bis zu einem gewissen Masse ein in der Kurve aufprallendes Fahrzeug ohne Deformation zu führen. The control system 20 'according to FIG. 5 shows that this is in the Can also apply the scope of the invention in a curve, such as this in a parking garage with a relatively small radius, but also can occur in a road curve with a larger radius. The one Elongated roller element 21 is approximately on the right Angle to this arranged roller element 22 by several to each other angled roller elements 61 connected. These roller elements 61 form a continuous radius R and on the inside with the roller elements 21, 22 a linear transition, so that when a vehicle with its wheel 15 against these roller elements 61 drives, the vehicle is guided along these roller elements 61. This Roller elements 61 are each mounted on a shaft 65, with Advantage of a roller bearing 66 is present in order to rotate the To enable roller element on the shaft. The shaft 65 is from one to the other roller element 21, 22 continuously arranged and on the support bodies 60 attached. It is intended that this control system is standing, to a certain extent, a bouncing in the curve To drive the vehicle without deformation.

Selbstverständlich könnte das Leitsystem gemäss Fig.5 auch eine Führung aussenseitig der Rollenelemente 66 bilden, wobei dann die Stützkörper innenseitig angeordnet sein müssten.The guidance system according to FIG. 5 could of course also be a guide Form the outside of the roller elements 66, in which case the support bodies should be arranged on the inside.

Die Erfindung ist mit den oben erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen ausreichend dargetan. Sie liesse sich jedoch noch in anderen Varianten darstellen. So könnten diese aus Rollenelementen 21, 22 erstellten Leitelemente an einem Strassenrand anstelle von herkömmlichen Leitplanken oder zusätzlich an solche bestehende Leitplanken montiert sein.The invention is sufficient with the exemplary embodiments explained above demonstrated. However, it could also be represented in other variants. So these could be made of roller elements 21, 22 guide elements on a roadside instead of conventional guard rails or in addition be mounted on such existing guardrails.

Die Leitelemente könnten im Prinzip auch aus jeweils zwei oder noch mehr parallel übereinander koaxial aneinandergereihten Rollenelementen 21, 22 bestehen, wobei die gegen die Fahrspur hin ausgerichteten Rollenelemente mit ihren Aussenflächen eine vertikale Ebene bilden würden.In principle, the guide elements could also consist of two or more more parallel coaxial lined up roller elements 21, 22 exist, the roller elements aligned against the lane would form a vertical plane with their outer surfaces.

Das erfindungsgemässe Leitsystem liesse sich auch beispielsweise in einem Tunnel mit zwei Gegenspuren, wie sich dies beispielsweise im Gotthardtunnel präsentiert, in der Mitte der Strasse platzieren, so dass mit ihr verlässlich verhindert werden könnte, dass Fahrzeuge auf die Gegenspur gelangen könnten.The control system according to the invention can also be, for example, in one Tunnel with two counter-tracks, as is the case, for example, in the Gotthard tunnel presented in the middle of the street, so that with her could reliably prevent vehicles from turning into the opposite lane could get.

Solche erfindungsgemässen Leitsysteme könnten beispielsweise auch bei Parkplätzen, in Parkhäusern oder an ramponierten Strassenstellen angeordnet werden.Such guidance systems according to the invention could also be used, for example Parking lots, in multi-storey car parks or on battered street areas become.
