Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for preventing any accident due to such a human error of erroneously stepping on an accelerator and a brake. <P>SOLUTION: A distance sensor for detecting a distance between a vehicle and an obstacle, an acceleration sensor and a speed sensor are set in the vehicle, and the comparison operation of the distance measured by the distance sensor, acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor and a speed measured by the speed sensor is carried out by a computer. When the acceleration and speed are larger than a set value against the distance as the arithmetic result, it is decided that the vehicle is set in a "collision mode" by the computer, and an instruction is issued to a fuel valve and a master cylinder, and an engine is stopped, and a brake is operated in emergency so that the vehicle can be suddenly stopped. Also, a program(software) for carrying out the comparison operation and decision of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, the acceleration and the speed is separately developed in the computer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は自動車の安全に関するものである。The present invention relates to automobile safety.

従来はアクセルとブレーキを踏み間違えて事故を起こす場合、防止方法が無かった。Previously, there was no way to prevent accidents caused by mistakes in the accelerator and brake.

最近、あるドライバーが後進時にアクセルとブレーキを間違え、店に突っ込んだ。私自身も同様な事故を起こした事があり、この様な事故は相当な件数に登るものと思われる。この様な間違いは、前進時にも起こり得るが後進時が多い。私の体験を述べると、駐車場にバックで入れようとして、後方確認しながら、ゆっくりと後進させていった。頃合と見て、軽くブレーキを踏んだが、車は益々後退する。慌てて急ブレーキをかけたところ、車は急加速して後方の車に激突して止まった。その時、始めて自分がアクセルとブレーキを踏み違えている事に気が付いた。
意識はブレーキのつもりなのに脚はアクセルを踏んでいたのである。先述のドライバーの場合も同じ間違いを起こしたものと思われる。何故このような錯誤を仕出かすのか？。理由は様々あろうが、いずれにしても一瞬の間に起こす事故であり人間の判断力を超える。
本発明は、この課題を解消するためになされたものである。Recently, a driver made a mistake in the accelerator and brakes when going backwards and entered the store. I myself have had a similar accident, and it seems that such an accident can climb to a considerable number. Such mistakes can occur during forward travel, but often during reverse travel. As for my experience, I tried to move backward slowly while checking backwards, trying to enter the parking lot in the back. At a reasonable time, the brakes were lightly applied, but the car moved back and forth. When I suddenly applied the brakes, the car suddenly accelerated and crashed into the car behind it and stopped. At that time, I realized that I was mistaking the accelerator and brake for the first time.
The consciousness was going to brake, but the leg was stepping on the accelerator. The previous driver seems to have made the same mistake. Why do we make such mistakes? . There are various reasons, but in any case, it is an accident that occurs in an instant and exceeds human judgment.
The present invention has been made to solve this problem.

車に障害物１０との距離を検知する距離センサー２、加速度センサー３、車速センサー４を設置。 A distance sensor 2, an acceleration sensor 3 and a vehicle speed sensor 4 for detecting the distance from the obstacle 10 are installed in the vehicle.

距離センサー２で計った距離と加速度センサー３で計った加速度および車速センサー４で計った速さをコンピューター５で演算。 The computer 5 calculates the distance measured by the distance sensor 2, the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 3, and the speed measured by the vehicle speed sensor 4.

コンピューター５で演算した結果、距離に対し、加速度および速さが設定値より大きい場合は「衝突モード」に入ったことをコンピュータ５が判断し、燃料バルブ６に指令を送り燃料をカットしエンジン７を止める。同時にマスターシリンダー８に指令を出し、ブレーキ９を緊急作動させ車を急停止させる。 As a result of calculation by the computer 5, if the acceleration and the speed are larger than the set values with respect to the distance, the computer 5 determines that the “collision mode” has been entered, sends a command to the fuel valve 6 and cuts the fuel to cut the engine 7 Stop. At the same time, a command is issued to the master cylinder 8, the brake 9 is urgently operated, and the vehicle is suddenly stopped.

ドライバーがアクセルとブレーキを踏み間違えた場合でも、自動車自体が判断し事故を未然に防ぐことができる。いわゆる、自動車を知能化することにより人為的ミスを防止するものである。 Even if the driver makes a mistake in stepping on the accelerator and brake, the car itself can judge and prevent accidents. In other words, human error is prevented by making the automobile intelligent.
