Description

電気自動車は静粛ゆえにヒトの衝突の潜在的危険性があり、実際にゴルフ場のカート等で衝突事故が多発している。本発明は、かかる衝突事故を未然に防止するための技術である。   Since electric vehicles are quiet, there is a potential danger of human collision, and in fact, collision accidents frequently occur in golf carts and the like. The present invention is a technique for preventing such a collision accident.

電気自動車に限らず、自動車とヒトの衝突を防止するための多くの技術が公知である。また衝突防止のために、ヒトの所有する携帯電話等の携帯機器に自動車の接近を報知することも公知である(特許文献1から7参照)。   Many techniques for preventing a collision between an automobile and a person are known, not limited to electric cars. In addition, in order to prevent a collision, it is also known to notify the approach of an automobile to a portable device such as a cellular phone owned by a human (see Patent Documents 1 to 7).

特許文献1は、携帯端末装置自体に障害物の存在を操作者に対して報知する機能を持たせることで、携帯端末装置の操作者に対し障害物の存在を確実に報知し、障害物との衝突を防止する携帯端末装置を開示している。   Patent Document 1 provides the mobile terminal device itself with a function of notifying the operator of the presence of an obstacle, thereby reliably informing the operator of the mobile terminal device of the presence of the obstacle. A mobile terminal device that prevents the collision is disclosed.

特許文献2および3は、携帯所有者に衝突の危険を警報通告する概念を開示している。また、特許文献4および5は、ゴルフ場などのカートの前後に配設したセンサーによる衝突防止技術を開示している。   Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose the concept of notifying a mobile owner of a danger of collision. Patent Documents 4 and 5 disclose a collision prevention technique using sensors disposed before and after a cart such as a golf course.

さらにまた特許文献6は、歩行者や自動車が発信する微弱電波を受信して、衝突の危険性を警告する車両用衝突警報装置、特許文献7は、自動車と歩行者の衝突防止を速度と位置を監視制御する交通監視システムで実現したものを開示している。   Furthermore, Patent Document 6 receives a weak radio wave transmitted from a pedestrian or an automobile and warns of the danger of a collision, and Patent Document 7 discloses a speed and position for preventing the collision between an automobile and a pedestrian. What is realized by a traffic monitoring system that monitors and controls the traffic is disclosed.

しかしこれらの公知技術は、ゴルフ場などの限定されたエリアで走行する電気自動車とヒトの衝突に注目した衝突警報システムではなく、かかる用途に適用するための技術改善の余地は大いにある。電気自動車はその静粛性の反面、ヒトが接近に気づかず、衝突する事故が多発している。   However, these known technologies are not a collision warning system focusing on a collision between an electric vehicle and a human running in a limited area such as a golf course, and there is much room for improvement in technology to be applied to such applications. In contrast to the quietness of electric vehicles, humans are unaware of approaching, and crashes frequently occur.

電気自動車は静粛ゆえにヒトの衝突の潜在的危険性があり、実際にゴルフ場のカート等で衝突事故が多発している。衝突事故を未然に防止する電気自動車接近警告システムを提供する。   Since electric vehicles are quiet, there is a potential danger of human collision, and in fact, collision accidents frequently occur in golf carts and the like. Provided is an electric vehicle approach warning system for preventing a collision accident.

本発明の本質は、電気自動車が警報を発したり、自動停止したりするのではなく、ヒトが携行するものに警報を発するようにしたほうが警報認知の確実性が高く合理的、という考え方、および、ゴルフ場のような特定のエリアでは、特定のものを利用者に携行させることができるという条件に関わるアイデアである。これを以下に説明する。   The essence of the present invention is that an electric vehicle does not issue an alarm or automatically stops, but it is more reliable and reasonable to recognize an alarm if an alarm is issued to an object carried by a human, and In a specific area such as a golf course, the idea is related to the condition that a specific item can be carried by a user. This will be described below.

本発明は(請求項1、図1参照)、走行方向にエネルギーを放射するエネルギー放射手段Rを具備した電気自動車Cと、該放射手段の放射エネルギー受信手段Dおよび該受信手段のエネルギー受信をトリガとして電気自動車Cの接近警報を出力する手段A(以下、接近警報出力手段Aと記す)を具備した衝突警報デバイスとの組合せによる電気自動車Cとヒトの衝突警報システムであって、エネルギー受信手段Dと接近警報出力手段Aを具備した前記衝突警報デバイスが、電気自動車走行エリアのみに有効な器具・用品・装具、あるいは(請求項2)電気自動車走行エリアで該エリアの管理者が該エリア利用者に貸与する器具・用品・装具に組込まれているものである衝突警報システムである。ここで、器具・用品・装具とはヒトが携行するものであって、たとえば、キーホルダーや歩数計やブレスレット等が挙げられる。なお、器具・用品・装具はこれらに限定されるものではない。   The present invention (see claim 1 and FIG. 1) triggers the electric vehicle C including the energy radiating means R that radiates energy in the traveling direction, the radiant energy receiving means D of the radiating means, and the energy reception of the receiving means. As an electric vehicle C and human collision warning system by a combination with a collision warning device equipped with means A (hereinafter referred to as approach warning output means A) for outputting an approach warning for the electric vehicle C as an energy receiving means D And the collision warning device including the approach warning output means A is an appliance, article, or appliance that is effective only in the electric vehicle traveling area, or (Claim 2) In the electric vehicle traveling area, the manager of the area is the area user. It is a collision warning system that is built into the equipment, supplies, and appliances that are loaned to. Here, the instruments, supplies, and appliances are carried by humans and include, for example, key holders, pedometers, bracelets, and the like. In addition, instruments, supplies, and appliances are not limited to these.

エネルギー放射手段Rが放射するエネルギーは(請求項3、図1下参照)、好適には電気自動車停止中でエネルギーはゼロ(無放射)、電気自動車走行中に走行速度に概ね比例したエネルギーを放射するものであるとよい。当然ながらその理由は、停止していれば衝突は発生しないし、速度が大きいほど衝突リスクが増すからであり、当然ながら放射方向が走行方向とするのが適切である。   The energy radiating means R radiates (see claim 3, lower part of FIG. 1), preferably the electric vehicle is stopped and the energy is zero (non-radiating), and the electric vehicle radiates energy roughly proportional to the traveling speed. It is good to do. Naturally, the reason is that if the vehicle is stopped, no collision occurs, and the higher the speed, the greater the risk of collision. Naturally, it is appropriate that the radial direction is the traveling direction.

エネルギー放射手段Rが放射するエネルギーは具体的には(請求項4)、光(光センサー用)または電波(電波センサー用)または超音波(超音波センサー用)であり、衝突警報デバイスのエネルギー受信手段Dが、それぞれ光センサーまたは電波センサーまたは超音波センサーである。   The energy radiated from the energy radiating means R is specifically (Claim 4), light (for optical sensor), radio wave (for radio wave sensor) or ultrasonic wave (for ultrasonic sensor). The means D is an optical sensor, a radio wave sensor, or an ultrasonic sensor, respectively.

図2が、本発明の電気自動車Cの接近による衝突警報デバイスの機能の説明図であって、上図は離隔していれば安全であり、かつまた放射エネルギーは離隔空間で減衰してしまい受信不可となり警報はでないことの説明である。下図はエネルギーを受信できる距離に接近した状況である。Cの走行速度が速ければ、衝突リスクが高まるので、より遠い離隔距離でも警報が出すようにする。   FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the function of the collision warning device due to the approach of the electric vehicle C of the present invention. The upper diagram is safe if it is separated, and the radiant energy is attenuated in the separated space and received. It is an explanation that the warning is not possible and there is no warning. The figure below shows a situation where the energy can be received. The higher the traveling speed of C, the higher the risk of collision. Therefore, an alarm is issued even at a further distance.

図3が、本発明の衝突警報デバイスの例であって(請求項7)ゴルフ場が利用者に貸与するスコアカード(左上)とゴルフ場ロッカーキー(左下)に組込まれた例である。A1がゴルフ場が利用者に貸与するスコアカードに組込まれた衝突警報デバイスに具備された接近警報出力手段Aの例(警報はたとえばスピーカの音声またはバイブレータの振動)、A2がゴルフ場が利用者に貸与するロッカーキーに係合された衝突警報デバイスに具備された接近警報出力手段Aの例(警報はたとえばスピーカの音声またはバイブレータの振動)であって、D1がゴルフ場が利用者に貸与するスコアカードに組込まれた衝突警報デバイスに具備されたエネルギー受信手段D(センサー・電波受信機など)の例(たとえば公知の電波受信LSIチップ)、D2がゴルフ場が利用者に貸与するロッカーキーに係合された衝突警報デバイスに具備されたエネルギー受信手段D(センサー・電波受信機など)の例(たとえば公知の電波受信LSIチップ)である。   FIG. 3 is an example of the collision warning device of the present invention (Claim 7), in which the golf course is incorporated into a score card (upper left) and a golf course locker key (lower left) that are lent to the user. A1 is an example of an approach warning output means A provided in a collision warning device incorporated in a score card that a golf course lends to a user (alarm is a voice of a speaker or vibration of a vibrator, for example), and A2 is a user of a golf course An example of an approach warning output means A provided in a collision warning device engaged with a rocker key that is lent to (a warning is a voice of a speaker or a vibration of a vibrator, for example), and D1 is lent to a user by a golf course Examples of energy receiving means D (sensors / radio wave receivers, etc.) provided in the collision warning device incorporated in the score card (for example, known radio wave receiving LSI chip), D2 is a locker key that the golf course lends to the user Examples of energy receiving means D (sensors, radio wave receivers, etc.) provided in the engaged collision warning device (for example, well-known electric Receiving an LSI chip).

電気自動車Cは静粛ゆえにヒトとの衝突事故が多発している。かといって、警笛を連発すれば、ゴルフ場の静粛を損ねることになる。本発明で、ヒトが携行するデバイスに小さな音声や振動でカート接近警告を与えることで事故を未然に防止できる。また本発明システムは、比較的廉価な通信機器・センサーつき電子タグなどとの組合せで安価に構成できるので、経済的である。ゴルフ場での事故リスク回避のための簡易システム商品としてゴルフ場経営者にとって魅力的である。   Since the electric vehicle C is quiet, there are many collisions with humans. However, if the horn is fired repeatedly, the quietness of the golf course will be lost. According to the present invention, an accident can be prevented in advance by giving a cart approach warning to a device carried by a person with a small sound or vibration. Further, the system of the present invention is economical because it can be constructed at a low cost in combination with a relatively inexpensive communication device, an electronic tag with a sensor, and the like. It is attractive to golf course managers as a simple system product for avoiding accident risks at golf courses.

図4が、本発明の最良の実施形態であって、電気自動車Cが走行するゴルフ場内の衝突事故多発地帯Lに事故多発地帯信号を発信する事故多発地帯発信機L1が配設され、電気自動車Cに事故多発地帯発信機L1の発信信号を受信する受信機L2、および受信機L2が事故多発地帯発信機L1の発信信号を受信した時にエネルギー放射手段Rの放射エネルギーを増幅する手段(図示略)を兼備した例である。衝突事故多発地帯Lでは受信機L2の増幅によって、より遠くまで衝突危険を告知するので事故再発防止効果は絶大である。   FIG. 4 shows the best mode of the present invention, in which an accident-prone area transmitter L1 that transmits an accident-prone area signal is arranged in the collision-prone area L in the golf course where the electric vehicle C travels. The receiver L2 that receives the transmission signal of the accident-prone zone transmitter L1 at C, and the means for amplifying the radiation energy of the energy radiating means R when the receiver L2 receives the transmission signal of the accident-prone zone transmitter L1 (not shown) ). In the collision accident frequent occurrence zone L, the danger of collision is announced farther by the amplification of the receiver L2, so the accident recurrence prevention effect is tremendous.

すなわち(請求項9)、電気自動車Cが走行するゴルフ場内の衝突事故多発地帯Lに、さらに事故多発地帯信号を発信する事故多発地帯発信機L1が配設され、事故多発地帯発信機L1の発信信号の受信機L2、信号受信時にエネルギー放射手段Rの放射エネルギーを増幅する手段、が電気自動車Cに兼備されているのが好適である。   That is, (Claim 9), an accident-prone zone transmitter L1 for transmitting an accident-prone zone signal is further provided in the collision-prone zone L in the golf course where the electric vehicle C travels, and the accident-prone zone transmitter L1 is transmitted. The electric vehicle C is preferably equipped with a signal receiver L2 and a means for amplifying the radiant energy of the energy radiating means R at the time of signal reception.

近年のゴルフ場カートは、電磁誘導方式で走行する軌道が場内にあらかじめ設けられているものが多い。前記の事故多発地帯信号を発信する事故多発地帯発信機L1が走行軌道の電磁誘導手段に併設または兼備されていてもよい。   Many golf course carts in recent years are provided with a track that runs in an electromagnetic induction system in advance. The accident frequent zone transmitter L1 that transmits the accident frequent zone signal may be provided or combined with the electromagnetic induction means of the traveling track.

また(請求項8)、電気自動車Cがさらに走行するゴルフ場内の衝突事故多発地域を記憶する手段と、電気自動車Cのゴルフ場内位置を検知するGPSなどの位置検知手段と、前記衝突事故多発地域記憶手段の地域と前記位置検知手段の検知位置とを比較して電気自動車位置が衝突事故多発地域内であるときに放射エネルギーを増幅する手段、が電気自動車Cに兼備されている構成でもよい。   (Claim 8) Further, means for storing a collision accident occurrence area in the golf course where the electric vehicle C further travels, position detection means such as a GPS for detecting the position of the electric vehicle C in the golf course, and the collision accident occurrence area A configuration in which the electric vehicle C is also provided with means for amplifying the radiant energy when the area of the storage means and the detection position of the position detection means are compared and the position of the electric vehicle is in a collision-prone area.

図5は、本発明の別の最良の実施形態であって、ゴルフ場が利用者に貸与する利用者ゴルフキャップQに衝突警報デバイス(図示略)が組込まれ、さらに無指向性の放射エネルギーを放射する無指向性エネルギー放射手段(図示略)を兼備した例である。衝突を警告されたヒト以外の同じグループの他の利用者(同じカートに乗車してプレーする仲間)にも無指向で接近可能性アリ警報を出力するので、衝突を警告されたヒトが気がつかないときでも衝突注意を喚起でき、より安全である。   FIG. 5 shows another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which a collision warning device (not shown) is incorporated in a user golf cap Q that the golf course lends to the user, and omnidirectional radiant energy is generated. This is an example in which non-directional energy radiating means (not shown) is radiated. Non-directed accessibility ant warning is also output to other users of the same group other than the person who was warned of the collision (friends who ride in the same cart), so the person who was warned of the collision is not aware It is safer to call attention at times.

同じカートに乗車しプレーに同行するキャディ等ゴルフプレーアシスタントまたはプレーアドバイザー、あるいは場内管理清掃他の関係者にも利用者ゴルフキャップQと同等のものの装着をルール化しておけば、前記の衝突注意喚起ができ、さらに安全である。   If a golf caddy or other golf play assistant or play advisor who rides in the same cart and accompanies the play, or if other parties involved in the field management and cleaning are ruled on wearing the equivalent of the user golf cap Q, the above-mentioned collision warning will be raised. Is safer.

すなわち(請求項5)、エネルギー受信手段Dと接近警報出力手段Aを具備した衝突警報デバイスが、さらに無指向性の放射エネルギーを放射する無指向性エネルギー放射手段、および該無指向性エネルギーの受信手段、および該無指向性エネルギー受信手段のエネルギー受信をトリガとして電気自動車Cの接近可能性アリ警報を出力する手段を兼備したものであるのが好適である。   That is, (Claim 5), the collision warning device including the energy receiving means D and the approach warning output means A further includes omnidirectional energy radiating means for radiating omnidirectional radiant energy, and reception of the omnidirectional energy. It is preferable that both the means and the means for outputting an accessibility ant warning of the electric vehicle C by using the energy reception of the omnidirectional energy receiving means as a trigger are suitable.

なお、無指向性の放射エネルギーを放射するエネルギー放射手段は具体的には(請求項6)、光(光センサー用)または電波(電波センサー用)または超音波(超音波センサー用)であって、衝突警報デバイスの無指向性エネルギー受信手段が、それぞれ光センサーまたは電波センサーまたは超音波センサーであってもよい。   The energy radiating means for emitting non-directional radiant energy is specifically (Claim 6), light (for optical sensor), radio wave (for radio wave sensor) or ultrasonic wave (for ultrasonic sensor). The non-directional energy receiving means of the collision warning device may be an optical sensor, a radio wave sensor, or an ultrasonic sensor, respectively.

次に、この衝突警報システムの動作について説明する。 Next, the operation of this collision warning system will be described.

ゴルフ場のカートの前後に配設されたエネルギー放射手段Rによってエネルギーが放射される。利用者が携行する装具に組込まれた衝突警報デバイスは、そのエネルギーをエネルギー受信手段Dによって受信する。ここで、エネルギーとは光、電波、超音波等を用いた信号のことである。また、エネルギー放射手段Rによって放射される放射エネルギー量はカートの速度に依存して適宜選択され、たとえば、カート停止中の放射エネルギー量をゼロとして、カートの走行速度に概ね比例して放射エネルギー量が決定されてもよい。   Energy is radiated by the energy radiating means R disposed before and after the golf cart. The collision warning device incorporated in the equipment carried by the user receives the energy by the energy receiving means D. Here, energy is a signal using light, radio waves, ultrasonic waves, or the like. The amount of radiant energy radiated by the energy radiating means R is appropriately selected depending on the speed of the cart. For example, the amount of radiant energy when the cart is stopped is set to zero, and the amount of radiant energy approximately proportional to the traveling speed of the cart. May be determined.

カートが所定エリア(たとえば、衝突事故多発地帯L)にさしかかると、カートが接近するおそれがあることを報知する契機となる所定エリア発信機(たとえば、事故多発地帯発信機L1)により発信されている信号を、カートに設置されている受信機L2が受信する。所定エリア発信機からの信号を受信した受信機L2は、カート側部および隅角部に配設されたエネルギー放射手段Rへ起動信号を入力する。なお、カートに多数のエネルギー放射手段Rを配設しなくても、カートの前後に配設されているエネルギー放射手段Rの放射エネルギー量を増幅させることで、放射エネルギー量の放射範囲を拡大してもよい。また、エネルギー放射手段Rを無指向性エネルギー放射手段に切り替えることで、放射エネルギー量の放射範囲を拡大してもよい。   When a cart approaches a predetermined area (for example, a collision accident frequent occurrence zone L), it is transmitted by a predetermined area transmitter (for example, accident frequent occurrence zone transmitter L1) that notifies that the cart may approach. The signal is received by the receiver L2 installed in the cart. Receiving the signal from the predetermined area transmitter, the receiver L2 inputs an activation signal to the energy radiating means R disposed at the cart side and corners. Even if a large number of energy radiating means R are not arranged in the cart, the radiation range of the radiant energy amount is expanded by amplifying the amount of radiant energy of the energy radiating means R arranged before and after the cart. May be. Moreover, the radiation range of the amount of radiant energy may be expanded by switching the energy radiation means R to a non-directional energy radiation means.

衝突警報デバイスのエネルギー受信手段Dがカートの前後に配設されたエネルギー放射手段Rからのエネルギーを受信したとき、エネルギー受信手段Dは接近警報出力手段Aおよび接近表示手段へ起動信号を入力する。これによって、カートが接近すると、衝突警報デバイスの接近警報出力手段Aが有するスピーカから音が発せられるとともに接近表示手段が有する接近報知ランプが発光し、利用者はカートの接近を認知することができる。   When the energy receiving means D of the collision warning device receives energy from the energy emitting means R disposed before and after the cart, the energy receiving means D inputs an activation signal to the approach warning output means A and the approach display means. As a result, when the cart approaches, a sound is emitted from the speaker of the approach warning output means A of the collision warning device and the approach notification lamp of the approach display means emits light so that the user can recognize the approach of the cart. .

また、衝突警報デバイスのエネルギー受信手段Dがカート側部および隅角部に配設されたエネルギー放射手段Rからのエネルギーを受信したとき、エネルギー受信手段Dはカートが接近するおそれがあることを報知する接近予測警報出力手段および接近予測表示手段へ起動信号を入力する。これによって、接近予測警報出力手段が有するバイブレータの振動と接近予測表示手段が有する接近予測報知ランプが発光し、利用者はカートが接近するおそれがあることを認知することができる。   Further, when the energy receiving means D of the collision warning device receives energy from the energy radiating means R disposed on the side and corner portions of the cart, the energy receiving means D notifies that the cart may approach. An activation signal is input to the approach prediction warning output means and the approach prediction display means. Thereby, the vibration of the vibrator included in the approach prediction warning output unit and the approach prediction notification lamp included in the approach prediction display unit emit light, and the user can recognize that the cart may approach.

なお、エネルギー放射手段Rが配設される車両はゴルフ場のカートに限定されることなく、特殊なエリア(工場、発電所、工事現場等)で利用される車両であってもよい。   The vehicle on which the energy radiating means R is disposed is not limited to a golf cart, and may be a vehicle used in a special area (a factory, a power plant, a construction site, etc.).

以上、本発明を実施するための最良の形態を説明したが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではなく、その要旨の範囲内で様々な変形や変更が可能である。たとえば、図6(a)に示すように、衝突警報デバイスに受信手段とともに受信信号の強度によって「接近警報」と「接近注意」を弁別する判定手段を兼備し、該判定手段の判定に基づいて、スピーカによる警報の大きさを変えたり、音色を変えたりしてもよい。同様に、前記判定手段の判定に基づいて、接近警報ランプと接近注意ランプを選択的に点灯させてもよい。これらを具備した本案のデバイスをゴルフ場のロッカーキーに結合させればよい(図6(b)参照)。 As mentioned above, although the best form for implementing this invention was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to these, A various deformation | transformation and change are possible within the range of the summary. For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the collision warning device has both a receiving means and a judging means for discriminating an “approach warning” and an “approaching attention” according to the intensity of the received signal, and based on the judgment of the judging means. The size of the alarm by the speaker may be changed, or the tone may be changed. Similarly, the approach warning lamp and the approach attention lamp may be selectively turned on based on the determination by the determination means. What is necessary is just to couple | bond the device of this plan provided with these to the rocker key of a golf course (refer FIG.6 (b)).

本発明の電気自動車Cならびに衝突警報デバイス。図の左下に電気自動車停止中でエネルギーはゼロ(無放射)、電気自動車走行中に走行速度に概ね比例したエネルギーを放射することの説明も示した。Electric vehicle C and collision warning device of the present invention. The lower left of the figure also shows that the energy is zero (non-radiation) when the electric vehicle is stopped, and that the energy is radiated roughly in proportion to the traveling speed while the electric vehicle is running. 本発明の電気自動車Cの接近による衝突警報デバイスの機能の説明図であって、上図は離隔していれば安全であり、かつまた放射エネルギーは離隔空間で減衰してしまい受信不可となり警報はでないことの説明、下図はエネルギーを受信できる距離に接近した状況である。Cの走行速度が速ければ、より遠い離隔距離でも警報が出るので合理的である。It is explanatory drawing of the function of the collision warning device by the approach of the electric vehicle C of this invention, Comprising: The upper figure is safe if it is separated, and radiation energy attenuate | damps in a remote space and a reception becomes impossible, and a warning is given. The explanation below is the situation where the distance is close to the energy can be received. If the traveling speed of C is fast, it is reasonable that an alarm is issued even at a further distance. 本発明の衝突警報デバイスの例であってゴルフ場が利用者に貸与するスコアカード(左上)とゴルフ場ロッカーキー(左下)に組込まれた例。It is an example of the collision warning device of the present invention, and is an example in which a golf course is incorporated in a score card (upper left) and a golf course locker key (lower left) that are lent to a user. 本発明の一態様であって、電気自動車Cが走行するゴルフ場内の衝突事故多発地帯Lに事故多発地帯信号を発信する事故多発地帯発信機L1が配設され、L1の発信信号の受信機L2、L2がL1信号受信時にエネルギー放射手段Rの放射エネルギーを増幅する手段(図示略)が電気自動車Cに兼備された例。衝突事故多発地帯Lでは、より遠くまで衝突危険を告知して事故再発を防止する。In one embodiment of the present invention, an accident-prone zone transmitter L1 that transmits an accident-prone zone signal is disposed in a collision-prone zone L in a golf course where the electric vehicle C travels, and a receiver L2 for a transmission signal of L1 , L2 is an example in which the electric vehicle C has means (not shown) for amplifying the radiation energy of the energy radiation means R when receiving the L1 signal. In the collision accident-prone area L, the danger of collision is announced farther to prevent accident recurrence. 本発明の一態様であって、ゴルフ場が利用者に貸与する利用者ゴルフキャップQに衝突警報デバイス(図示略)が組込まれ、さらに無指向性の放射エネルギーを放射する無指向性エネルギー放射手段(図示略)を兼備した例。衝突を警告されたヒト以外の同じグループの他の利用者に無指向で接近可能性アリ警報を出力するので、衝突を警告されたヒトが気がつかないときでも衝突注意を喚起でき、より安全である。In one aspect of the present invention, a collision warning device (not shown) is incorporated in a user golf cap Q that a golf course lends to a user, and omnidirectional energy radiating means that radiates omnidirectional radiant energy (Example not shown). Non-directed accessibility ant warning is output to other users in the same group other than the person who was warned of the collision, so even if the person who is warned of the collision is not aware, it is safer and can be alerted . 本発明の別態様の衝突警報デバイスのブロック図Block diagram of a collision warning device according to another aspect of the present invention
