Description
SYSTEME DESTINÉ A LA PRÉVENTION DES EXCES DE
VITESSE SUR LA ROUTE
La présente invention a pour objet un système destiné à la prévention des excès de vitesse sur la route.SYSTEM FOR THE PREVENTION OF EXCESSIVE
SPEED ON THE ROAD
The present invention relates to a system intended for the prevention of speeding on the road.
I1 concerne le domaine industriel des équipements de signalisation routière, et peut s'appliquer aussi bien aux voies à grand trafic de type autoroute qu'à des axes moins importants, par exemple aux abords des tronçons dangereux connus sous le nom de points noirs". I1 relates to the industrial field of road signaling equipment, and can be applied as well to high-traffic lanes of the motorway type as to less important axes, for example around dangerous sections known as black dots ".
I1 existe de nombreux systèmes destinés à mesurer la vitesse des véhicules circulant sur les routes et faisant appel à des radars. Ils sont principalement de deux types : le premier type, relativement rudimentaire est basé sur un fonctionnement du genre tout ou rien, ayant pour objet d'avertir les automobilistes qu'ils roulent à une vitesse excessive, l'avertissement se manifestant généralement par le clignotement d'un panneau de signalisation lumineux; le deuxième type, beaucoup plus précis, et surtout étalonné régulièrement, utilisé par la gendarmerie et la police, est destiné à mesurer précisément la vitesse des automobilistes dans le but de verbaliser ceux qui roulent à une vitesse supérieure à la vitesse autorisée. There are many systems for measuring the speed of vehicles traveling on the roads and using radars. They are mainly of two types: the first type, relatively rudimentary is based on an all-or-nothing type of operation, intended to warn motorists that they are driving at excessive speed, the warning generally manifested by blinking a light sign; the second type, much more precise, and especially regularly calibrated, used by the gendarmerie and the police, is intended to measure precisely the speed of motorists in order to verbalize those who drive at a speed higher than the authorized speed.
Les premiers ont une efficacité très limitée, les seconds nécessitent une mise en oeuvre lourde et ne peuvent être utilisés que pour les opérations ponctuelles. En outre, ils font appel à un matériel mobile de précision de prix très élevé et d'entretien délicat, ce qui en rend la diffusion limitée. The first have a very limited effectiveness, the second require heavy implementation and can only be used for occasional operations. In addition, they use very high-priced and delicate maintenance precision mobile equipment, which makes their distribution limited.
On a commencé à s'interroger sur l'opportunité de continuer à développer une politique purement répressive à l'encontre des contrevenants aux limitations de vitesse sur route. Les moyens mis en oeuvre sont importants, les résultats sont faibles, les actions sont forcément ponctuelles et il se développe un sentiment de défiance à l'égard des forces de l'ordre qui se trouvent reléguées dans un rôle exclusivement punitif. We began to wonder about the advisability of continuing to develop a purely repressive policy against violators of speed limits on the road. The means implemented are important, the results are weak, the actions are necessarily punctual and there is a feeling of distrust towards the police who find themselves relegated to an exclusively punitive role.
Le dispositif selon la présente invention a pour objectif de remédier à cet état de choses en proposant un système de prévention des excès de vitesse misant sur une plus grande prise de conscience et sur une plus grande responsabilisation des conducteurs. The device according to the present invention aims to remedy this state of affairs by proposing a speeding prevention system focusing on greater awareness and greater responsibility of drivers.
D'autre part, du fait que le dispositif décrit ici sera préférentiellement placé aux points les plus critiques, on peut s'attendre à une diminution des problèmes dûs aux excès de vitesse à ces endroits là en premier lieu. On the other hand, since the device described here will preferably be placed at the most critical points, we can expect a reduction in the problems due to speeding at these locations in the first place.
I1 est constitué par trois composantes principales pouvant éventuellement accueillir des options destinées à remplir des fonctions supplémentaires, à savoir : un capteur destiné à mesurer la vitesse du véhicule est formé généralement d'un radar, un dispositif affichant précisément la vitesse du véhicule de façon à ce qu'elle soit parfaitement lisible par le conducteur et un panneau faisant apparaître à celui-ci un message visuel qui dépend de sa vitesse ainsi que d'autres facteurs tels que l'heure, les conditions atmosphériques ou les événements locaux. I1 consists of three main components which can optionally accommodate options intended to fulfill additional functions, namely: a sensor intended to measure the speed of the vehicle is generally formed by a radar, a device precisely displaying the speed of the vehicle so as to that it is perfectly readable by the driver and a sign showing a visual message to the driver which depends on his speed as well as other factors such as the time, weather conditions or local events.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de formes de réalisation du système revendiqué
la figure 1 représente en perspective une portion de route comportant un équipement conforme à l'objet de l'invention
et la figure 2 montre, vu de dessus une variante du système présentant une disposition différente des constituants.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of embodiments of the claimed system
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of road comprising equipment conforming to the object of the invention
and Figure 2 shows, seen from above a variant of the system having a different arrangement of the constituents.
Le dispositif, figure 1, est constitué de trois composants principaux disposés le long du tronçon de route 1 choisi
- 1) Un capteur 2 permettant de déterminer avec une certaine précision la vitesse du véhicule 3 qui se présente.The device, Figure 1, consists of three main components arranged along the selected road section 1
- 1) A sensor 2 making it possible to determine with a certain precision the speed of the vehicle 3 which presents itself.
Dans la plupart des cas, pour des questions de coût et de précision, ce capteur sera constitué d'un radar, mais on peut très bien envisager des principes différents, par exemple la mesure du temps mis par la voiture pour franchir une distance précise, ce temps pouvant être déterminé grâce à l'interruption de deux faisceaux lumineux, ou par le passage sur deux pédales pneumatiques fixées sur le sol ou sur deux boucles inductives 4 noyées dans ce dernier (figure 2). In most cases, for reasons of cost and accuracy, this sensor will be made up of a radar, but we can very well envisage different principles, for example the measurement of the time taken by the car to cross a precise distance, this time can be determined by the interruption of two light beams, or by the passage on two pneumatic pedals fixed on the ground or on two inductive loops 4 embedded in the latter (Figure 2).
- 2) Le second composant 5 est destiné à afficher précisément la vitesse du véhicule de façon à ce qu'elle soit parfaitement lisible par l'automobiliste. - 2) The second component 5 is intended to precisely display the speed of the vehicle so that it is perfectly readable by the motorist.
Cet affichage se fera le plus souvent en chiffres qui pourront être de couleurs et/ou de tailles différentes pour renforcer le message (affiché par le troisième composant du système), vert par exemple si le véhicule respecte la vitesse autorisée, rouge s'il est au dessus de la limite.This display will most often be in figures which may be of different colors and / or sizes to reinforce the message (displayed by the third component of the system), green for example if the vehicle respects the authorized speed, red if it is above the limit.
- 3) Le troisième composant du système est destiné à délivrer un message visuel 5 à l'automobiliste, message qui dépend de sa vitesse mais aussi d'autres facteurs comme l'heure, les conditions atmosphériques (pluies, verglas...), les événements locaux, etc... - 3) The third component of the system is intended to deliver a visual message 5 to the motorist, a message which depends on his speed but also on other factors such as the time, atmospheric conditions (rain, sleet ...), local events, etc.
Les trois composants fondamentaux peuvent être localisés sur un même bâti 7 ou être décalés les uns par rapport aux autres le long de la route 1 pour faciliter la lisibilité de l'information relative à la vitesse et du message visuel 5 (figure 2). The three fundamental components can be located on the same frame 7 or be offset with respect to each other along the route 1 to facilitate the legibility of the information relating to the speed and of the visual message 5 (FIG. 2).
Le système peut comporter des options destinées à remplir des fonctions supplémentaires pouvant être demandées par les clients, et en particulier
- Des lampes t flash pour alerter les automobilistes en fort dépassement de la vitesse autorisée.The system may include options intended to perform additional functions which may be requested by customers, and in particular
- T flash lamps to alert motorists if the speed limit is exceeded.
- Une caméra avec transmission de l'image à distance. - A camera with remote image transmission.
- Une caméra factice suivant le même principe que celui utilisé dans les hypermarchés. - A dummy camera following the same principle as that used in hypermarkets.
- Un dispositif de diffusion de messages audibles destinés à renforcer le message visuel. - A device for broadcasting audible messages intended to reinforce the visual message.
- Un mécanisme "gendarme couché" faisant apparaître sur le bord de la route 1 des mannequins normalement couchés figurant des gendarmes, déclenchés automatiquement en cas de dépassement de la vitesse autorisée. - A "lying gendarme" mechanism showing on the side of the road 1 normally lying mannequins appearing gendarmes, automatically triggered in the event of exceeding the authorized speed.
Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires. The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar devices.
