Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain a distance between cars at a safety value by detecting parameters for calculating the safety distance between cars on the basis of vehicle speed, live load and slant angle in the advancing direction of vehicle, calculating and indicating the safe distance between cars according to the detected value. CONSTITUTION:A speed sensor 1 for detecting vehicle speed, a live load sensor 2 for detecting liver load and a inclination sensor 3 for detecting a slant angle corresponding to road gradient in the advancing direction of vehicle are provided to generate the detection outputs of these sensors to the input of CPU 4. In this CPU, a safe and proper distance between cars for the vehicle speed, live load and slant angle is calculated or a safe and proper distance between cars corresponding to the respective detecting outputs is read out of a memory 5 to be indicated on a distance-between-cars indicating section 6. And the running of the vehicle is controlled by monitoring the distance between cars indicated on said indicating section 6 to maintain said actual distance at the said indicated distance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an appropriate inter-vehicle distance display device that can display a safe and appropriate inter-vehicle distance to a vehicle in front. In particular, the present invention relates to an inter-vehicle distance display device that detects vehicle speed, loaded weight, and driving environment, and displays a safe and appropriate inter-vehicle distance corresponding to the detected output.

〔背 景〕[Background]

前車に追従して走行するときには、前車の動きによく注

離を保つ必要がある。
When following the vehicle in front of you, you need to pay close attention to its movements and maintain a safe following distance to avoid rear-ending collisions even if the vehicle in front of you suddenly stops.

多くとらなければならない。
The distance between vehicles depends on the weather, road conditions, loaded weight,
It must be changed appropriately depending on vehicle speed, etc. A safe following distance is to maintain a distance equal to the stopping distance between you and the vehicle in front. Therefore, for example, if you increase the speed of the vehicle, the stopping distance t) will increase, so the following distance will also increase accordingly. I have to take a lot.

Until now, no device has been developed that quantitatively displays such a safe inter-vehicle distance to the driver to alert the driver. Therefore, in reality, the driver makes his own judgment based on the stopping distance data according to the vehicle speed and his own experience.
Or, based on intuition, they determine a distance between vehicles that is considered safe.

In this way, the distance between vehicles is left solely to the driver's judgment or intuition. Therefore, due to incorrect judgment regarding a wide variety of vehicle driving conditions, or due to self-righteous intuition, it is possible to find a safe distance between the vehicle in front and the vehicle in front. Sometimes I forget to open it.
