Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Anzeige einer überhöhten Geschwindigkeit beim Fahren eines Kraftfahrzeuges.The invention relates to a device for display an excessive speed when driving a motor vehicle.

Die meisten und vor allem die schwersten Verkehrsunfälle sind auf überhöhte Geschwindigkeit zurückzuführen.Most and especially the most serious traffic accidents are attributed to excessive speed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung mit geringem Aufwand bereitzustellen, die eine überhöhte Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs derart anzeigt, dass die Zahl der Verkehrsunfälle drastisch reduziert werden kann.The object of the invention is a device with low To provide effort that is excessive speed of the vehicle indicates that the number of traffic accidents can be drastically reduced.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Vorrichtung erreicht. In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung wiedergegeben.This is inventively characterized by that in claim 1 Device reached. In the subclaims are reproduced advantageous embodiments of the invention.

Nach der Erfindung wird an dem Fahrbahnabschnitt, an dem eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit vorgeschrieben ist oder eingehalten werden sollte, ein Sender installiert, der ein Signal, das der Höchstgeschwindigkeit entspricht, sendet. Das Kraftfahrzeug ist mit einem Empfänger, der das vom Sender gesendete Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal empfängt, einer Warneinrichtung sowie einer Einrichtung versehen, die die vom Tachometer des Kraftfahrzeuges gemessene Fahrgeschwindigkeit mit dem vom Sender gesendeten und vom Empfänger empfangenen Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal vergleicht und bei einer vom Tachometer gemessenen Geschwindigkeit über der vom Empfänger empfangenen Höchstgeschwindigkeit die Warneinrichtung betätigt. According to the invention is on the lane section on which one Maximum speed is prescribed or adhered to should be installed, a transmitter that sends a signal that corresponds to the maximum speed, sends. The car is with a receiver that broadcasts from the transmitter Receives maximum speed signal, a warning device as well as a device that the from the speedometer of the Motor vehicle measured driving speed with that of Maximum speed signal sent by the transmitter and received by the receiver compares and one of the speedometer measured speed above that received by the receiver Maximum speed actuated the warning device.

Die Warneinrichtung kann eine optische Einrichtung, beispielsweise ein Blinklicht, z.B. die Blinkleuchte der Warnblinkanlage des Kraftfahrzeuges sein. Vorzugsweise wird jedoch eine akustische Warneinrichtung verwendet, also ein Lautsprecher, gegebenenfalls der Lautsprecher des Radios und/oder einer sonstigen bereits im Kraftfahrzeug vorhandenen akustischen Anlage.The warning device can be an optical device, for example a flashing light, e.g. the flashing light of the hazard warning lights of the motor vehicle. However, preferred an acoustic warning device is used, i.e. a Loudspeaker, possibly the radio's loudspeaker and / or another already existing in the motor vehicle acoustic system.

Die akustische Warneinrichtung ist vorzugsweise so ausgelegt, dass sie in der Lage ist, einen bedingten oder konditionierten Reflex beim Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeuges zu erzeugen, wenn er die Höchstgeschwindigkeit überschreitet, beispielsweise ein entsprechendes Verkehrschild überfährt.The acoustic warning device is preferably designed such that that she is able to have a conditional or conditioned To generate reflex when the driver of the motor vehicle, if it exceeds the maximum speed, for example a corresponding traffic sign runs over.

Dazu erzeugt die Warneinrichtung vorzugsweise ein Warnsignal, das vom Fahrer als unangenehm empfunden wird, also z.B. ein lauter und/oder hoher und/oder wechselnder Ton oder Tonfolge. Ein derartiges Warnsignal, das beim Fahrer einen unbedingten, also angeborenen Reiz auslöst, d.h. eine unangenehme Empfindung, kann nach psychologischen Gesetzen nämlich mit einem anderen, zur gleichen Zeit angebotenen, indifferenten, künstlichen Reiz, also der von dem Verkehrsschild angezeigten Höchstgeschwindigkeit, so gekoppelt werden, dass der Fahrer mit der Zeit nur noch auf den konditionierten oder bedingten Reiz reagiert, also allein schon dann, wenn er bei zu hoher Geschwindigkeit ein Höchstgeschwindigkeitsverkehrsschild sieht, seine Fahrgeschwindigkeit reflexartig reduziert.For this purpose, the warning device preferably generates a warning signal, which the driver perceives as unpleasant, e.g. on loud and / or high and / or changing tone or sequence of tones. Such a warning signal, which the driver has an unconditional, thus triggers innate stimulus, i.e. an uncomfortable sensation can according to psychological laws with a other, indifferent, artificial ones offered at the same time Stimulus, i.e. the one indicated by the traffic sign Top speed to be coupled so that the driver over time only on the conditioned or conditional Stimulus reacts, if only when it is too high Speed a speed limit road sign sees his driving speed reflexively reduced.

Der Empfänger wird vorzugsweise an einem Verkehrsschild angebracht. Dabei kann es sich um eine Verkehrstafel handeln, die eine bestimmte Höchstgeschwindigkeit vorschreibt, oder empfiehlt, oder Verkehrstafeln, die eine Kurve, Schule oder dergleichen anzeigen, also keine bestimmte Höchstgeschwindigkeit. Auch kann in Ländern, in denen generelle Höchstgeschwindigkeiten vorgeschrieben sind, der Sender an jeder beliebigen Verkehrstafel angebracht sein. Statt einer Verkehrstafel kann es sich auch um eine andere bereits vorhandene oder zusätzliche Einrichtung an der Fahrbahn handeln, an der der Sender angebracht sein kann.The receiver is preferably attached to a traffic sign. It can be a traffic sign that prescribes a certain maximum speed or recommends or traffic signs that are a curve, school or the like display, so no specific maximum speed. Also can be found in countries where general top speeds are prescribed, the transmitter at any Traffic signs should be attached. Instead of a traffic sign can it also be another already existing or additional facility act on the lane at the the transmitter can be attached.

Der Sender ist vorzugsweise so ausgerichtet, dass er ausschließlich in Fahrtrichtung der ihm zugeordneten Fahrbahn sendet. Dazu kann der Sender an der Rückseite der Verkehrstafel angebracht sein. Der Empfänger ist vorzugsweise am Kraftfahrzeug zum Empfang vom Sender von hinten ausgelegt, also vorzugsweise aussen an der Rückseite des Kraftfahrzeuges angebracht. Damit kann das Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal des Senders mit hoher Zuverlässigkeit vom Empfänger empfangen werden. Vor allem aber stört das vom Sender gesendete Signal nicht die entgegenkommenden Fahrzeuge, da diese die Signale eines Senders ebenfalls nur von hinten empfangen können.The transmitter is preferably oriented so that it is exclusive in the direction of travel of the road assigned to it sends. To do this, the transmitter can be found on the back of the traffic sign to be appropriate. The receiver is preferably on the motor vehicle designed for reception from the transmitter from behind, so preferably attached outside on the back of the motor vehicle. This allows the top speed signal of the Transmitter received with high reliability by the receiver become. Above all, the signal sent by the transmitter is disruptive not the oncoming vehicles as these are the signals a transmitter can also only receive from behind.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann auch zur Anzeige einer Höchstgeschwindigkeit von Null oder wenigen km/h, z.B. 1 oder 2 km/h ausgebildet sein. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann damit dem Fahrer auch anzeigen, dass er in die falsche Fahrtrichtung fährt. Das heißt, die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann an Einbahnstraßen angebracht werden, beispielsweise an der Rückseite des Verkehrsschildes, das an einer Einbahnstraße "Einfahrt verboten" anzeigt. Insbesondere ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung aber auch gegen sogenannte Geisterfahrer, also Kraftfahrzeuge einsetzbar, die auf mehrbahnigen Straßen, insbesondere Autobahnen, auf einer Fahrbahn in der falschen Richtung fahren. Dazu können die Sender beispielsweise an beliebigen Verkehrsschildern auch an der Vorderseite angeordnet sein. Zugleich kann ein extrem unangenehmes Warnsignal beim Fahren in der falschen Fahrtrichtung abgegeben werden. The device according to the invention can also be used to display a Top speed of zero or a few km / h, e.g. 1 or 2 km / h. The device according to the invention can also show the driver that he is in the wrong position Direction of travel. That is, the device according to the invention can be attached to one-way streets, for example at the back of the traffic sign on a one way street "No entry" indicates. In particular, the invention Device but also against so-called ghost drivers, So motor vehicles can be used on multi-lane Streets, especially highways, on a carriageway in drive in the wrong direction. The transmitters can do this, for example on any traffic signs also on the front be arranged. At the same time, an extremely uncomfortable one Warning signal given when driving in the wrong direction become.

Der Sender kann ein Infrarot-Sender, ein RF(Radiofrequenz)-Sender oder dergleichen sein, der eine Reichweite besitzt, die sich vorzugsweise zumindest über die gesamte Breite der Fahrbahn erstreckt. Bei mehrbahnigen Straßen soll sich die Schallqualität des jeweiligen Senders also vorzugsweise nur über die Fahrbahn erstrecken, die ihm zugeordnet ist. Das Signal, das der Sender sendet, kann beispielsweise ein phasen- oder amplitudenmoduliertes Signal sein. Die Energieversorgung des Senders kann durch eine Batterie erfolgen, die ggf. von einem Solarmodul gespeist wird.The transmitter can be an infrared transmitter, an RF (radio frequency) transmitter or the like that has a range, which are preferably at least over the entire width of the Roadway stretches. For multi-lane roads, the Sound quality of the respective transmitter is therefore preferably only extend over the lane assigned to it. The Signal that the transmitter sends, for example, a phase or be amplitude modulated signal. The energy supply the transmitter can be done by a battery that possibly fed by a solar module.

Das vom Sender gesendete Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal kann einstellbar sein. So kann die Höchstgeschwindigkeit, die eingestellt werden kann, beginnend von Null, eine beliebige Höchstgeschwindigkeit sein, beispielsweise bis 150 km/h. Dazu kann eine entsprechende Tastatur am Sender vorgesehen sein.The top speed signal sent by the transmitter can be adjustable. So the top speed can be set can be any, starting from zero Top speed, for example up to 150 km / h. To a corresponding keyboard can be provided on the transmitter.

Die Einstellung der Sender kann vor Ort, z.B. manuell erfolgen, insbesondere aber auch ferngesteuert, vorzugsweise per Funk. So kann die Mobilfunktechnik zur Einstellung der Höchstgeschwindigkeit verwendet werden, die das betreffende Verkehrsschild anzeigt und die der Sender sendet. Damit können beispielsweise Straßenabschnitte binnen Sekunden auf eine andere Höchstgeschwindigkeit umgeschaltet werden können, beispielsweise bei Verkehrsunfällen, Nebel, Glatteis oder dergleichen. Die Umschaltung kann von einer Zentrale aus durchgeführt werden oder per Mobilfunk, beispielsweise durch die Polizei oder sonstige dazu autorisierte Personen, die sich an dem betreffenden Straßenabschnitt befinden.The transmitter settings can be set on site, e.g. done manually, in particular but also remotely controlled, preferably by Wireless. So the mobile radio technology for setting the Maximum speed can be used that the concerned Displays traffic sign and which the transmitter sends. So that can for example, road sections to one within seconds other maximum speed can be switched, for example in traffic accidents, fog, black ice or the like. Switching can be carried out from a control center be or via mobile radio, for example through the Police or other authorized person who registers the relevant section of road.

Der Empfänger ist vorzugsweise im Bereich des Kraftfahrzeugkennzeichens an der Rückseite des Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet. So kann er am Rand des rückwärtigen Kraftfahrzeugkennzeichens angebracht sein, also an einem Bereich, der sich bei den meisten Kraftfahrzeugen an der gleichen Stelle befindet. Durch Ausrichtung des Senders auf diesem Bereich wird das Signal des Senders mit maximaler Stärke vom Empfänger empfangen.The receiver is preferably in the area of the vehicle registration number arranged at the rear of the motor vehicle. So he can on the edge of the rear license plate be attached, that is to an area that is in the most motor vehicles are in the same place. By aligning the transmitter on this area this will Signal of the transmitter with maximum strength received by the receiver.

Die Einrichtung an dem Kraftfahrzeug, das die vom Tachometer des Kraftfahrzeuges gemessene Fahrgeschwindigkeit mit dem vom Sender gesendeten, mit dem Empfänger empfangenen Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal vergleicht, kann ein einfacher elektronischer Rechner, beispielsweise ein Mikrocomputer sein. Auch kann dazu der ohnehin in den meisten Kraftfahrzeugen bereits vorhandene Bordcomputer verwendet werden. Das Tachometer kann dabei jeder beliebige Drehzahlmesser oder sonstige Einrichtung sein, die die Fahrgeschwindigkeit des Fahrzeuges erfasst.The device on the motor vehicle, that of the speedometer of the motor vehicle measured driving speed with that of Transmitter sent maximum speed signal received with the receiver compares, can be a simple electronic Computer, for example a microcomputer. Also can already do this in most motor vehicles existing on-board computers are used. The speedometer can any tachometer or other device be that detects the driving speed of the vehicle.

Die Warneinrichtung kann einen vorgegebenen Zeitraum lang, z.B. eine Minute, ausschaltbar sein, z.B. durch einen entsprechenden Knopf am Armaturenbrett. Damit kann das Warnsignal, nachdem es angezeigt worden ist bzw. ertönt, sofort abgeschaltet werden, um die Warnzeit zu verkürzen. Wenn dieser vorgegebene Zeitraum abgelaufen ist, der Fahrer die Höchstgeschwindigkeit weiter nicht einhält und das Fahrzeug die nächsten Sender mit zu hoher Geschwindigkeit passiert, wird die Warneinrichtung erneut betätigt.The warning device can last for a predetermined period of time, e.g. one minute, can be switched off, e.g. by a corresponding one Dashboard button. So the warning signal, after it has been displayed or sounds, switched off immediately to shorten the warning time. If this predetermined time period has expired, the driver's top speed further does not comply and the vehicle the next transmitter happens at too high a speed actuated the warning device again.

Das Kraftfahrzeug kann weiterhin einen Sender aufweisen, der ein Signal sendet, das der mit dem Tachometer gemessenen Geschwindigkeit entspricht. Der Sender kann dazu an der Rückseite des Kraftfahrzeuges angebracht sein, beispielsweise im Bereich des Kraftfahrzeugkennzeichens. Damit kann beispielsweise ein Polizeifahrzeug mit einem entsprechenden Empfänger, das einem Fahrzeug nachfährt, das mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung und einem solchen Sender ausgestattet ist, die jeweilige Geschwindigkeit des vorausfahrenden Fahrzeuges abfragen. The motor vehicle can also have a transmitter that sends a signal that corresponds to the speed measured with the tachometer equivalent. The transmitter can do this on the back be attached to the motor vehicle, for example in Area of the vehicle registration number. For example a police vehicle with a corresponding recipient, that follows a vehicle that with the invention Device and such a transmitter is equipped, the Query the respective speed of the vehicle in front.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist mit geringen Kosten verbunden. Am Kraftfahrzeug ist lediglich ein Empfänger anzubringen. Als Einrichtung, die die vom Tachometer gemessene Fahrgeschwindigkeit mit dem vom Empfänger empfangenen Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal vergleicht und bei erhöhter Geschwindigkeit die Warneinrichtung betätigt, kann ein einfacher Mikrochip oder Computer sein oder gegebenenfalls ohne jegliche zusätzliche Hardware der Bordcomputer des Kraftfahrzeuges, an den im allgemeinen der Tachometer ohnehin angeschlossen ist. Ferner wird als Warneinrichtung beispielsweise ein Lautsprecher verwendet, wobei z.B. der Lautsprecher des Radios benutzt werden kann, sodass sich die Kosten am Fahrzeug im wesentlichen auf die Montage und den Empfänger reduzieren lassen. Demgegenüber steht eine erhebliche Reduzierung von Verkehrsunfällen wegen überhöhter Geschwindigkeit. So ist beispielsweise denkbar, dass Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherungen bei Kraftfahrzeugen mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung die Prämien entsprechend senken.The device according to the invention is associated with low costs. Only a receiver has to be attached to the motor vehicle. As a device that measures the speedometer Driving speed with the maximum speed signal received by the receiver compares and at increased speed the warning device actuates a simple microchip or be a computer, or possibly without any additional hardware of the on-board computer of the motor vehicle which is generally connected to the speedometer anyway. A loudspeaker is also used as a warning device used, e.g. the radio's speaker is used can be, so the cost of the vehicle essentially reduced to the assembly and the receiver. This contrasts with a significant reduction in traffic accidents because of excessive speed. For example conceivable that motor vehicle liability insurance in motor vehicles with the device according to the invention reduce premiums accordingly.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist in erster Linie für Straßenkraftfahrzeuge, also Pkw und Lkw sowie Motorräder bestimmt.The device according to the invention is primarily for Road vehicles, i.e. cars and trucks as well as motorcycles.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung beispielhaft anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben, deren einzige Figur schematisch einen Teil einer Straße von oben zeigt.The invention is illustrated below with reference to the drawing described in more detail, the only figure schematically one Part of a street showing from above.

Danach ist an der Fahrbahn 1 in Fahrtrichtung 2 ein Verkehrsschild 3.1 angeordnet, das eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 50 km/h vorschreibt. An der Rückseite des Verkehrsschildes ist ein Sender 4.1 angebracht, der eine Sendekeule 5.1 in Fahrtrichtung 2 aussendet und sich über die ganze Fahrbahn 1 erstreckt. Der Sender 4.1 sendet ein Signal, das der Höchstgeschwindigkeit in Fahrtrichtung 2, also 50 km/h entspricht. Then there is a traffic sign on lane 1 in direction of travel 2 3.1 arranged that a maximum speed of 50 km / h prescribes. At the back of the traffic sign is a transmitter 4.1 attached, the transmitter lobe 5.1 in the direction of travel 2 sends out and extends over the entire lane 1. The transmitter 4.1 sends a signal that the maximum speed in the direction of travel 2, i.e. 50 km / h.

Der Pkw 6 weist am Rand des Nummernschildes 7 einen Empfänger 8 auf, der das Signal des Senders 4.1 empfängt. Ein Computer im Pkw 6 vergleicht die vom Tachometer des Pkw 6 gemessene Fahrgeschwindigkeit mit der vom Sender 4.1 gesendeten, vom Empfänger 8 empfangenen Fahrgeschwindigkeit. Bei einer vom Tachometer gemessenen Geschwindigkeit, die über dem vom Empfänger 8 empfangenen Höchstgeschwindigkeitssignal liegt, wird eine nicht dargestellte, vorzugsweise akustische Warneinrichtung im Inneren des Pkw 6 betätigt, die der Fahrer als unangenehm empfindet.The car 6 has a receiver on the edge of the license plate 7 8, which receives the signal from the transmitter 4.1. A computer in car 6 compares that measured by the speedometer of car 6 Driving speed with that sent by transmitter 4.1, from Receiver 8 received driving speed. At one of the Speedometer measured speed above that of the receiver 8 received maximum speed signal is a not shown, preferably acoustic warning device inside the car 6 operated, which the driver as uncomfortable feels.

Wie in der Zeichnung dargestellt, wird die Fahrbahn 1 durch eine Abzweigung in zwei Fahrbahnen 11 und 12 geteilt.
