Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement with vehicle glazing, a radiation source for emitting infrared radiation and a radiation receiver for receiving infrared radiation for a driver assistance system of a vehicle, which enables infrared-based monitoring of the driver.
- the invention further relates to a driver assistance system of a vehicle with such an arrangement, as well as a method for monitoring the driver of a vehicle.
- Modern vehicles are often equipped with electronic driver assistance systems that support the driver in driving the vehicle, for example by automatically applying the brakes when there is a risk of a collision or automatically keeping the vehicle in lane when it leaves its lane.
- driver assistance systems have proven to be very effective in practice, particularly when they have a monitoring function for the driver, for example to detect driver fatigue at an early stage, but also to detect excessive distraction from safe driving, for example by using a mobile phone.
- DE 10 2006 019 112 A1 discloses a vehicle with a windshield that has an area that reflects infrared light coming from the vehicle interior and transmits visible light.
- An infrared source camera is arranged in the vehicle and is directed at the area of the windshield reflecting infrared light.
- WO 2022/157022 A1 discloses a pane with a heatable sensor field, which comprises a heatable film attached to the sensor field.
- the film consists of a coated carrier film, whereby the coating is electrically conductive.
- the film is firmly bonded to the pane via an adhesive layer.
- the invention is based on the object of providing an improved arrangement with a vehicle glazing, a radiation source and a radiation receiver for a driver assistance system with infrared-based monitoring function, which enables reliable acquisition of information about the vehicle user at low temperatures and humid weather.
- An arrangement according to the invention for a driver assistance system for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, with a monitoring function of a vehicle user, in particular a driver of the vehicle, is based on the use of infrared radiation.
- the arrangement includes a radiation source for emitting infrared radiation and a radiation receiver for receiving infrared radiation.
- the arrangement further comprises a composite pane, which serves as vehicle glazing, and consists of an outer pane and an inner pane, which are connected to one another in terms of area via a thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- the vehicle glazing in particular as a windshield, serves to separate an interior from an external environment in the vehicle.
- the inner pane refers to the pane that faces the interior when installed.
- the outer pane refers to the pane that faces the outside environment in the installed position.
- the surfaces or sides of the two individual panes are usually referred to as side I, side II, side III and side IV from the outside to the inside.
- the vehicle glazing has at least one functional layer that is suitable for reflecting infrared radiation.
- the vehicle glazing also has a reflection area.
- the infrared radiation is preferably only reflected by the reflection area of the vehicle glazing.
- the functional layer is designed to be electrically conductive and is intended as a heating device for heating the vehicle glazing.
- the driver assistance system can work trouble-free in poor weather or visibility conditions, since fogging and icing on the inner window can be removed quickly and easily.
- the Reflection area of vehicle glazing can reflect radiation clearly and distinctly. This radiation is detected by a radiation receiver. Information about the facial condition of a vehicle user (driver) can be obtained from the recorded data.
- At least two current collectors are provided for electrically contacting the functional layer, with a heating zone being formed between the at least two current collectors.
- the current collectors can be strip-shaped and arranged on the functional layer in an electrically conductive manner.
- the current collectors typically run along the upper and lower edges of the pane.
- the heating current flows essentially evenly through the functional layer, which is thus heated evenly in the reflection area.
- the vehicle glazing can be quickly freed of moisture and infrared radiation can be reflected without interference in an energy-efficient manner.
- the typically used heating variant using the air conditioning system (HVAC) method is superfluous when installing the vehicle glazing in a vehicle.
- HVAC air conditioning system
- the at least two current collectors can be applied to the surface of the first inner pane and/or to the electrically conductive functional layer by means of soldering or gluing.
- the current collectors applied in this way are preferably designed as a wire or strip of an electrically conductive film.
- the current collectors then contain, for example, at least aluminum, copper, tinned copper, gold, silver, zinc, tungsten and/or tin or alloys thereof.
- the strip preferably has a thickness of 10 pm to 500 pm, particularly preferably 30 pm to 300 pm. Current collectors made of electrically conductive films with these thicknesses are technically simple to produce and have an advantageous current-carrying capacity.
- the strip can be electrically connected to the electrically conductive structure, for example, via a solder compound, via an electrically conductive adhesive or by direct application.
- the at least two current bus conductors are designed as a printed and burned-in conductive structure.
- the printed current bus conductors then preferably contain at least one metal, a metal alloy, a metal compound and/or carbon, particularly preferably a noble metal and in particular silver.
- the printing paste preferably contains metallic particles, metal particles and/or carbon and in particular precious metal particles such as Silver particles.
- the electrical conductivity is preferably achieved by the electrically conductive particles.
- the particles can be in an organic and/or inorganic matrix such as pastes or inks, preferably as printing paste with glass frits.
- the layer thickness of the printed current bus conductor is preferably from 5 pm to 40 pm, particularly preferably from 8 pm to 20 pm and very particularly preferably from 8 pm to 12 pm.
- Printed current bus conductors with these thicknesses are technically easy to implement and have an advantageous current-carrying capacity.
- the at least two current collectors are each electrically contacted by one or more connecting lines.
- the connecting line is preferably designed as a flexible foil conductor (flat conductor, ribbon conductor). This is understood to mean an electrical conductor whose width is significantly greater than its thickness.
- a foil conductor is, for example, a strip or tape containing or consisting of copper, tinned copper, aluminum, silver, gold or alloys thereof.
- one of the at least two current bus conductors extends over a length of less than 50%, preferably less than 40%, particularly preferably less than 30% of a side edge of the functional layer.
- the reflection area of the vehicle glazing is preferably arranged within the heating zone.
- the area of the reflection area can be less than 50%, preferably less than 40%, particularly preferably less than 30% of the area of the heating zone.
- the reflection area can advantageously be arranged between the at least two current collectors.
- the length of a current collector can correspond to the length of a side edge of the reflection area. This allows the heating zone and thus the reflection area to be heated in a targeted manner. By heating the reflection area in a targeted manner, energy consumption can be significantly reduced compared to heating the entire surface of the vehicle glazing.
- the radiation source is preferably arranged in such a way that infrared radiation emitted by the radiation source is directed onto the functional layer and can be reflected from the functional layer onto a driver's face.
- the infrared radiation emitted by the radiation source therefore hits the functional layer directly without prior reflection and is reflected by it.
- the infrared radiation reflected by the functional layer is referred to as "first reflection radiation”.
- the first reflection radiation hits on the driver's face and can be reflected back towards the functional layer.
- the first reflection radiation thus hits the driver's face directly without further reflection and is reflected by him.
- the infrared radiation reflected from the driver's face is referred to as "second reflected radiation”.
- the second reflection radiation striking the functional layer is then reflected by the functional layer.
- the second reflection radiation thus hits the functional layer directly without further reflection and is reflected by it.
- the infrared radiation reflected by the functional layer is referred to as "third reflection radiation”.
- the radiation receiver is arranged in such a way that the third reflection radiation reflected by the functional layer is reflected to the radiation receiver and can be received by the radiation receiver.
- the present invention is based on the knowledge that the functional layer with infrared radiation-reflecting properties, whose actual function is initially to heat the vehicle glazing, can also be used for the reflection of infrared radiation as part of the infrared-based monitoring function of the driver assistance system.
- a particular advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that the infrared radiation can hit the face from the front due to the reflection on the functional layer.
- the radiation reflected onto the driver's face can thus contain a portion of radiation that falls perpendicularly onto the driver's face.
- the infrared radiation reflected in a corresponding manner from the face can be received, which contains a portion of radiation that is reflected perpendicularly from the driver's face.
- the radiation source and radiation receiver Due to the indirect irradiation of the face, the radiation source and radiation receiver only have to be positioned on the functional layer with a view to a suitable reflection of the infrared radiation, which can usually be done in such a way that they are not or at least practically undetectable by the driver and front passenger, for example in the rear area of the console. This is another great advantage of the invention.
- the radiation source is arranged such that the first reflected radiation has a radiation component that strikes the driver's face perpendicularly. It can be advantageous here if the first reflection radiation is reflected from an area of the vehicle glazing that results at least partially from a horizontal projection of the driver's face onto the vehicle glazing.
- the first Reflection radiation can preferably hit the driver's face in a horizontal direction or along a vertical line. This enables very good recognition of details of the driver's face and, in particular, eye movements.
- the radiation receiver is arranged in such a way that third reflection radiation reflected by the functional layer can be received, which is based on second reflection radiation which has a radiation component that was reflected perpendicularly from the driver's face.
- the third reflection radiation is advantageously reflected from an area of the vehicle glazing, which results at least partially from a horizontal projection of the driver's face onto the vehicle glazing.
- the second reflection radiation can then preferably hit the functional layer on the driver's face in a horizontal direction or along a vertical line. This also enables very good recognition of details of the driver's face and, in particular, eye movements.
- the functional layer is arranged on a surface of the outer or inner pane and partially covers or covers the surface of the respective pane, but preferably over a large area.
- the term "large area" means that at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 75% or preferably at least 90% of the surface of the pane is covered (e.g. coated) by the functional layer.
- the functional layer can also extend over smaller portions of the surface of the pane, in particular only over that area of the vehicle glazing which serves to reflect infrared radiation (i.e. reflection area).
- the functional layer is preferably transparent to visible light.
- the functional layer is a single layer or a layer structure made up of several individual layers with a total thickness of less than or equal to 2 pm, particularly preferably less than or equal to 1 pm.
- transparent means that the total transmission of the vehicle glazing as a windshield complies with the legal requirements and preferably has a transmittance of more than 70% and in particular more than 75% for visible light.
- opaque means a light transmission of less than 15%, preferably less than 5%, in particular 0%.
