Abstract

PURPOSE: To reduce the moving distance of a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by a method wherein a means which makes a part of the braking system of a vehicle operate before a driver steps onto a brake pedal in response to a foot detecting means which detects that the foot of the driver has been lifted from an acceleration pedal. CONSTITUTION: When a driver steps onto an acceleration pedal 4, a microswitch 5 is opened and, when the driver lifts his foot from the acceleration pedal 4, the microswitch 5 is closed. When the heel of the driver is on a heel rest 7, a microswitch 6 is closed and, when the heel is lifted, the microswitch 6 is closed. When the driver lifts his foot from the acceleration pedal and is going to step onto a brake pedal, both the microswitches are closed and a solenoid 8 is energized. The solenoid 8 is attached to a brake pedal 9 through a pulley device 10 and a cable 11. When the solenoid 8 is energized, the solenoid generates partial braking operation. A microswitch 12 is provided on the brake pedal 9 and the APBS is cut off while the foot of the driver is on the brake pedal 9.

2. Description of the Related Art Innumerable automobiles are driving on the road all over the world. Car accidents caused by the inability to stop properly result in countless injuries, deaths and material losses. Currently, in order to decelerate or stop a vehicle, the driver has to lift his foot from the accelerator pedal and move it to the brake pedal, which takes 3/10 to 1 second of 1 second. , I couldn't improve this or shorten it significantly. Furthermore, the reaction time of each driver is variable and therefore the time it takes to apply the brakes is different. A moving vehicle maintains a predetermined inertia until the driver releases his foot from the accelerator and then applies the brakes. The distance traveled by the car during this time is one of the causes of the accident (Table 1
And Table 2).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to eliminate the time required to move the driver's foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal. As soon as the driver's foot is released from the accelerator pedal, this "APBS" is automatically activated immediately, which slows down the forward movement,
Shorten the travel distance of vehicles. However, the driver must press the brake pedal in the normal way to completely stop the vehicle. All vehicle braking systems work very well today. The present invention is designed to obtain excellent time as described above by using the braking system currently provided on the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring to the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a device for detecting actuation of an accelerator pedal 4. Two microswitches 5 and 6 are used to detect the actuation of the accelerator pedal 4. The micro switch 5 is opened when the accelerator pedal 4 is depressed, and closed when the pedal 4 is released. The microswitch 6 is open when the driver's heel rests on the heel stop 7, and is closed when the heel is lifted from the heel stop 7. When the driver's foot is released from the accelerator pedal 4 for braking, both switches are closed and the solenoid 8 is activated.

As shown in FIG. 2, the solenoid 8 is attached to the brake pedal 9 by the pulley device 10 and the cable 11, and when the solenoid 8 is energized, the solenoid exerts a pulling force on the cable to generate a partial braking action. To do. A micro switch 12 is installed on the brake pedal 9. This switch turns off "APBS" when the driver, who controls the degree of braking required, is stepping on the pedal 9. "APBS" is re-entered when the driver's foot depresses accelerator pedal 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the microswitch 5,
Each of 6 and 12 controls relays 15, 16 and 17 to activate and deactivate solenoid 8. Power is supplied to the control circuit from the vehicle battery 18 via the start switch 19, the fuse 20, and the main system switch 21. The present invention does not change the normal driving behavior of the driver, nor does it change or affect the vehicle's original braking system.

The "APBS" does not lock the brakes and the final braking action to stop the vehicle is done by the driver. Vehicle brake lights operate in the normal manner as soon as the solenoid exerts a pulling force on the brake pedal. The main switch 21 can be switched off when the vehicle is gliding (spinning), ie down a slope. A series switch 6 is installed at the heel stop position of the accelerator pedal 4. This second switch 6 is "APBS" as long as the driver's foot rests on the heel stop 7 of the accelerator pedal 4.
Keep the power inactive. The on / off operation of the pre-braking system is indicated by the indicator lights 13 and 14. Vehicles equipped with a cruise control are not affected by the installation of the "APBS". When operating with the cruise controller on, the main system switch of the "APBS" can be switched off.
