Definitions
- the invention relates to a signal transmitter for highlighting objects in traffic according to the preamble of claim 1, a system for highlighting and detection of objects in traffic according to the preamble of claim 14, a method for highlighting and detection of objects in traffic according to the preamble of claim 27 and a Using the auto switch and using the system.
- driver assistance systems which are essentially common that they serve to relieve the driver in the traffic.
- driver assistance systems often also develop vehicle-preventive measures that go beyond a pure comfort effect, for example in the form of warning outputs to the driver or even interventions in the vehicle control system.
- the necessary information capture is based partly on environment sensors, on digital maps or even on vehicle-to-X communication. All of these systems depend on the highest possible reliability and a high density of the collected information. In order to collect information for such systems It is also known to provide road users or even traffic signs with special markings to make it easier or even more effective for the driver himself.
- DE 10 2010 031 254 AI discloses a traffic safety communication system for increasing the traffic safety of pedestrians.
- the traffic safety communication system includes a traffic safety communication device integrated in a pedestrian's shoe and a safety risk analysis device in a vehicle.
- the security risk analysis device sends a signal which activates the power supply of the traffic safety communication device when it receives it. If the traffic safety communication device has been activated, this in turn sends a signal from which the safety risk analysis device determines a position, a walking speed and, if applicable, a potentially increased danger potential (for example when a child is detected) of the pedestrian. If the safety risk analysis device detects an actual danger to the pedestrian by the own vehicle, a corresponding warning is issued to the driver.
- a marking device for persons which can be attached, for example, to the clothing of the person and by means of an invisible radiation signal or acoustic or optical signals indicates the position of the person.
- the marking equipment In addition, the device automatically collects data from its surroundings and can thus alert the person to any dangers.
- DE 10 2008 061 301 A1 describes a validation of information acquired by environment sensors by other environment sensor information which can be used, for example, for the so-called “target validated braking.”
- a radar signal is validated by means of a camera signal by confirming that the camera signal
- An additional distance measurement by means of a stereo camera is not provided due to this validation by a second sensor, the reliability of the information is sufficiently high to initiate an autonomous braking process to avoid accidents.
- DE 10 2008 023 972 A1 discloses a method and a device for detecting traffic-relevant information in a moving vehicle.
- sensor data of a sensor and map data of a navigation system are interpreted to identify the traffic-relevant information.
- the sensor can be designed as a visual sensor in the form of a camera looking in the direction of travel.
- the sensor data and map data are fed to a set of rules and evaluated by this.
- a speed limit detected by the camera in the form of a traffic sign is first compared with the map data. If the map data confirm the validity of the speed limit, the speed limit is displayed to the driver.
- the devices and systems known in the prior art are disadvantageous for various reasons.
- the known signal generator for interaction with the corresponding systems often rely on its own power supply to actively generate a signal.
- their availability depends on the presence of a sufficient amount of energy, for example in the form of a battery, or a suitable generator.
- the signal transmitter according to the invention for highlighting objects in traffic comprises a marking agent and a carrier material, wherein the marking agent is arranged covering at least one surface side of the carrier material on the carrier material and / or a substance of the carrier material is mixed, wherein the signal generator impinging electromagnetic radiation of at least one predeterminable wavelength band reflected by means of the marking agent.
- the signal generator according to the invention is characterized in that a spectral width and a spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band are characterized by a size and / or a size distribution and / or a form of nanoparticles contained in the marking agent and / or embossed by a surface nanostructuring of the marking agent are, wherein the spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band is in an infrared spectral range.
- Reflective properties in the form of the spectral width and the spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band can be adjusted specifically. For example, comparatively narrow reflecting wavelength bands with sharp transitions can be produced in a non-reflecting wavelength range. It has been found that nanoparticles or a surface nanostructuring allow targeted adjustment of new optical properties or new optical functionalities of materials and surfaces.
- the nanoparticles can also be contained in a dye, for example, which is applied to the carrier material.
- the surface nanostructuring has a topographical profile whose height structuring corresponds substantially to the size of nanoparticles which reflect in a wavelength band.
- the nanoparticles or surface nanostructuring it is also possible to generate a plurality of wavelength bands spaced apart from one another with an adjustable spectral distance, which each reflect the incident electromagnetic radiation of the corresponding wavelengths.
- a wavelength-dependent intensity modulation of the reflected electromagnetic radiation can be effected.
- the perceived feature size is variable with the viewing angle, it can determine the orientation (e.g., oblique impingement of the electromagnetic radiation or perpendicular impact of the electromagnetic radiation). This property can be used according to the invention to determine an orientation of the highlighted object for different applications.
- the marker of the signal generator can be configured both as a solid and as a liquid, suspension or powder. Since the effect of the invention effected by the marking agent acts, the only requirement for the carrier material, that this is suitable for coating with the marking agent or for admixing to the substance of the marking agent. Examples of suitable marking agents include textiles, plastics, metals and paints. Especially in textiles and paints, the marking agent can be easily arranged on the carrier material.
- Another advantage results from the spectral position of the at least one predeterminable wavelength band in the infrared spectral range.
- the reflected electromagnetic radiation is positioned in a spectral range separated from the visible light and thus invisible to the human eye.
- this also contributes to maintaining a design or fashionable character of a garment, as well as the reflective effect of the signal generator to the human eye is not detectable.
- it simplifies reliable detection of the signal generator since this reflects in a separated from the visible spectral range wavelength band and thus comparatively easily recognizable by its wavelength as inventive signal generator.
- the signal generator according to the invention is preferably detected by a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle detecting in the infrared spectral range and recognized as such.
- the driver assistance system can initiate a reaction which is appropriate for the situation, ranging from an autonomous control intervention, in particular emergency braking, via warning of the driver, to complete passivity of the driver assistance system, provided that no danger is recognized and thus no reaction is necessary.
- the invention offers the advantage of a very cost-effective method to emphasize pedestrians, especially children, cyclists and motorcyclists, but also traffic-related facilities such as warning signs or lane boundaries in the road.
- the carrier material is suitable for incorporation into garments and / or ornaments and / or transport containers without diminishing their aesthetic value and / or changing their appearance style
- the garments are especially shoes and / or headgear
- the jewelry items especially bracelets and / or hair ornaments
- the transport containers in particular Rucksacks and / or satchels and / or bags are.
- the signal generator according to the invention can easily be applied to garments of any kind, e.g. Jackets, hats, shirts, pants and / or shoes, even after they have been manufactured and sold to the end user.
- This can e.g. be made possible by a suitable textile material is selected as the carrier material.
- the carrier material is a garment and / or an article of jewelery and / or a transport container, wherein the garment is in particular a shoe and / or a headgear, wherein the jewelery article is in particular a bracelet and / or a hair ornament and wherein Transport container in particular a backpack and / or a satchel and / or a bag is.
- the marking agent can be embodied either in the form of nanoparticles, which are arranged on the carrier material, or in the form of a surface nanostructuring, which can itself also be part of the carrier material. In the latter case, therefore, a surface of the carrier material is used as a marking agent.
- the satchels may be provided proportionately or completely with the signal generator according to the invention, for example, for their production, a special nanostructured fiber can be used.
- the signal generator does not need to be regularly re-applied to the satchel because the satchel consists at least partially of the signal generator and the emphasis is thus permanent.
- corresponding signal acquisition modules which include, for example, a spatially resolving camera, are available, machine-readable information in the form of a symbol or a barcode may also be included.
- Machine-readable information in the form of a specially selected reflected infrared wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation is also possible.
- such machine-readable information can also be visually detected by the human eye in the visible wavelength spectrum being represented.

- This increases the range of application of the signal generator according to the invention, since it can be transferred or applied via the mentioned embodiments of the marking means to a multiplicity of other objects or even to persons. For example, When using a shoe polish as a marker with this shoe cream cleaned shoes are provided with the marking agent and thus have the properties already described.
- the signaler is on a directly on a human
- a fiber is used as a marking agent and a garment, for example a jacket, is produced from this fiber, there is the particular advantage that the signal generator is comparatively large and thus has a comparatively large emphasis. Effect unfolds.
