Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung mit den Merk malen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device with the Merk paint the preamble of claim 1.
Die derzeit in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland geltenden Ver kehrsregeln zum Fahren bei geringer Sichtweite besagen, daßThe currently valid in the Federal Republic of Germany Traffic rules for driving with low visibility say that
- a) bei einer Sichtweite von unter 50 m infolge von Nebel, Schneefall, Regen usw. nicht schneller als 50 km/h gefahren werden darf,a) with a visibility of less than 50 m due to fog, Snow, rain, etc. did not drive faster than 50 km / h may be
- b) die Nebelscheinwerfer und Nebelschlußleuchten nur bei einer Sichtweite von weniger als 50 m eingeschaltet sein dürfen.b) the fog lights and rear fog lights only in one Visibility of less than 50 m may be switched on.
Um diese Verkehrsregeln einzuhalten sind vom Fahrzeugführer während des Fahrens im wesentlichen drei Leistungen zu erbrin gen: 1) Einschätzung der Sichtweite, 2) Einhaltung der zuge lassenen Höchstgeschwindigkeit, 3) Ein- und Ausschalten der Nebelscheinwerfer und Nebelschlußleuchten.The driver must comply with these traffic rules to perform three main services while driving conditions: 1) assessment of the visibility, 2) compliance with the maximum speed, 3) switching the on and off Fog lights and rear fog lights.
Es sind verschiedene Sicherheitssysteme bekannt, die zur Auf gabe haben, den Fahrzeugführer bei der Erbringung einer oder mehrerer der Leistungen 1) bis 3) zu unterstützen. Ein in der gattungsbildenden DE 37 11 780 A1 beschriebenes Verfahren schlägt zur Einschätzung der Sichtweite bei Nebel vor, aus Meßwerten für Lufttemperatur, relative Luftfeuchtigkeit und atmosphärischen Luftdruck ein Nebelkennsignal zu generieren, welches insbesondere einer Vorrichtung zur Geschwindigkeitsbe grenzung als Vorgabe dienen kann. Damit soll die komplexe sen sorielle und informationsverarbeitende Leistung des Menschen bei der Einschätzung der Sichtweite durch einen Automaten er setzt werden, was naturgemäß nur bei großem Aufwand in zuver lässiger Weise erzielt werden kann.Various security systems are known which are used for on have the driver to provide one or to support several of the services 1) to 3). An Indian generic method described DE 37 11 780 A1 suggests to assess visibility in fog Measured values for air temperature, relative humidity and to generate a fog signal at atmospheric pressure, which in particular a device for speed control limit can serve as a default. This is to make the complex sen human and information processing performance when assessing the visibility by an automaton be put, which naturally only in verver with great effort can be achieved in a casual manner.
Weiterhin sind Vorrichtungen zur Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung bekannt, welche, wie in der DE 21 39 411 A1 beschrieben, eine manuelle Eingabe einer Höchstgeschwindigkeit vorsehen. Bei Überschreitung der Höchstgeschwindkeit löst die Vorrichtung ein optisches oder akustisches Warnsignal aus und/oder greift di rekt über die elektronische Motorsteuerung geschwindigkeits mindernd in den Fahrbetrieb ein. Beim Eintauchen in eine Ne belwand müßte der Fahrzeugführer, sofern er von der Vorrichtung zur Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung Gebrauch machen wollte, sowohl die manuelle Eingabe der Höchstgeschwindigkeit als auch einen Nebellichtschalter betätigen. Dieser doppelte Handgriff lenkt von der eigentlichen Aufgabe des Fahrzeugführers, nämlich das Steuern des Kraftfahrzeugs, ab.Furthermore there are devices for speed limitation known, which, as described in DE 21 39 411 A1, a Provide manual entry of a maximum speed. At The device redeems if the maximum speed is exceeded optical or acoustic warning signal and / or engages di right over the electronic engine control speed reducing the driving operation. When immersed in a ne The vehicle driver would have to wall up if he got rid of the device wanted to make use of the speed limit, both manually entering the top speed as well Press the fog light switch. This double handle steers of the actual task of the driver, namely that Taxes on the motor vehicle.
Weiterhin wird in der Schrift DE 38 00 032 A1 ein Nebellampen- Steuerungsmodul beschrieben, welches die geschwindigkeitsge steuerte Abschaltung der Nebellichter, d. h. Nebelscheinwerfer und/oder Nebelschlußleuchten, oberhalb einer der geringen Sichtweite angepaßten Geschwindigkeit bewirkt. Damit soll die Blendung anderer Verkehrsteilnehmer durch unnötig eingeschal tete Nebellichter vermieden werden. In dieser wie auch in der vorgenannten Schrift geschieht die Einschätzung der Sichtweite durch den Fahrzeugführer. Nachteilig ist, daß die Einhaltung einer den Sichtverhältnissen angepaßten Geschwindigkeit und die damit verbundene Überwachung der Tachometeranzeige nach wie vor dem Fahrzeugführer überlassen ist. Außerdem kann das Nebel lampen-Steuerungsmodul einen Nebellichtschalter trotzdem nicht ersetzen, da ein Schalter zur Aktivierung und Deaktivierung des Moduls weiterhin benötigt wird.Furthermore, DE 38 00 032 A1 describes a fog lamp Control module described, which speed controlled switching off the fog lights, d. H. Fog lights and / or rear fog lights, above one of the minor Visibility adjusted speed causes. So that should Glare to other road users due to unnecessary shuttering fog lights can be avoided. In this as in the The above-mentioned document is used to assess the visibility by the driver. The disadvantage is that compliance a speed adapted to the visibility and the associated monitoring of the speedometer display as before is left to the driver. In addition, the fog lamp control module does not have a fog light switch replace, as a switch to activate and deactivate the Module is still needed.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung so auszubilden, daß die Nachteile der vorgenannten Sicherheits systeme vermieden werden.The invention has for its object a generic device to train so that the disadvantages of the aforementioned security systems are avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Pa tentanspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß gelöst. Die Lösung ergibt sich aus der aus den Verkehrsregeln a) und b) abgeleiteten Regel, daß bei eingeschalteten Nebellichtern mit nur maximal 50 km/h gefahren werden darf. Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vor richtung besteht darin, daß sie sich einfacher, bekannter Technik bedient: Die komplexe Einschätzung der Sichtweite wird dem Fahrzeugführer überlassen, mit der Vorgabe einer Höchstge schwindigkeit an eine Vorrichtung zur Geschwindigkeitsbegren zung bei Einschalten der Nebellichter entfällt ein zusätzlicher vom Fahrzeugführer zu betätigender Schalter und die ablenkende Überwachung der Tachometeranzeige. Darüberhinaus gewährleistet das übliche Fahrverhalten eines Fahrzeugführers, welcher ein rasches Vorankommen bevorzugt, daß die Nebellichter nicht länger als unbedingt notwendig eingeschaltet werden.This task is carried out with the characteristic features of Pa Claim 1 solved according to the invention. The solution arises from the rule derived from traffic rules a) and b), that when the fog lights are switched on with only a maximum of 50 km / h may be driven. The advantage of the invention direction is that they are easier, more familiar Technology served: The complex assessment of the visibility is left to the driver with the specification of a maximum speed to a device for speed limitation There is no additional switch when the fog lights are switched on switch to be operated by the driver and the distracting switch Monitoring the speedometer display. Furthermore guaranteed the usual driving behavior of a driver, who a Advancing quickly prefers that the fog lights do not be switched on for longer than absolutely necessary.
Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Unteransprüche geben vorteil hafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung an. Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile gehen aus der einzigen Zeichnung zu einem Ausführungsbeispiel und der sich hier an schließenden Beschreibung hervor.The characteristic features of the subclaims give advantage sticky developments of the device according to the invention. Further details and advantages go from the single Drawing of an embodiment and the here concluding description.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Schaltkreis dargestellt, bei dem mit einer ersten Schaltebene 3.1 eines Nebellichtschalters 3 die Nebellichter 1 eingeschaltet werden und mit der anderen Ebene 3.2 die zugelassene Höchstgeschwindigkeit bei geringer Sichtweite - in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 50 km/h - der Vorrichtung zur Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung 2 vorgegeben wird.In the drawing, a circuit is shown in which the fog lights 1 are switched on with a first switching level 3.1 of a fog light switch 3 and with the other level 3.2 the permitted maximum speed with low visibility - in the Federal Republic of Germany 50 km / h - the device for speed limitation 2 is specified.
Die Vorrichtung zur Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung kann in der einfachsten Ausführung so ausgestaltet sein, daß die zugelas sene Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf dem Tachometer rot umkreist erscheint. Es sind aber auch Vorrichtungen bekannt, die bei Überschreitung der vorgegebenen Höchstgeschwindigkeit ein op tisches oder akustisches Warnsignal auslösen und/oder ein Steuersignal zur Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung generieren, welches geschwindigkeitsregelnd in den Fahrbetrieb eingreift.The device for speed limitation can in the simplest version should be designed so that the approved its maximum speed circled in red on the speedometer appears. Devices are also known, however, for If the specified maximum speed is exceeded an op trigger a table or acoustic warning signal and / or on Generate control signal for speed limitation, which intervenes in the driving mode to regulate the speed.
Die Erfindung stellt einen Beitrag zur Fahrsicherheit dar, zu mal keine neuen, zusätzlich vom Fahrzeugführer zu betätigenden Bedienelemente benötigt werden.The invention represents a contribution to driving safety sometimes no new ones to be operated by the driver Controls are needed.
