Abstract
Ce dispositif concerne tous types de véhicule (1) possédant un système de freinage, équipé ou pouvant être équipé d’un feu de signalisation de freinage (4). Il permet au véhicule (1) équipé du dispositif, de signaler l’intensité du freinage et le niveau d’urgence à ralentir, aux véhicules qui le suivent. Le signal émis par le dispositif varie en fonction de l’intensité de la décélération du véhicule (1) qui effectue un ralentissement ou un freinage. En fonction de l’intensité du freinage, le feu de signalisation de freinage (4) changera de mode d’affichage ou de couleur. Le but est d’améliorer grandement la sécurité routière, en apportant une évolution certaine dans le confort de conduite des usagers qui adapteront plus facilement leur allure, en prenant en compte l’intensité de ralentissement des véhicules qui les précèdent. This device concerns all types of vehicle (1) having a braking system, equipped or capable of being equipped with a brake signal light (4). It allows the vehicle (1) fitted with the device to signal the intensity of the braking and the level of urgency to slow down to the vehicles following it. The signal emitted by the device varies depending on the intensity of the deceleration of the vehicle (1) which is slowing down or braking. Depending on the intensity of the braking, the brake signal light (4) will change display mode or color. The aim is to greatly improve road safety, by bringing about a definite improvement in the driving comfort of users who will adapt their pace more easily, taking into account the intensity of the slowing down of the vehicles in front of them.
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de feu stop intelligent pour tout véhicule (1) équipé d’un dispositif de freinage et d’au moins un feu de signalisation de freinage (4) ou pouvant en être équipé.The present invention relates to an intelligent brake light device for any vehicle (1) equipped with a braking device and at least one brake signal light (4) or capable of being equipped with one.
Sur les véhicules (1) disposant d’un système de freinage, l’information de freinage renvoyée par les feux de signalisation de freinage (4) est insuffisante. En effet c’est une information binaire (allumé / éteint).On vehicles (1) with a braking system, the braking information returned by the braking signal lights (4) is insufficient. Indeed it is binary information (on / off).
Les conducteurs reçoivent donc une information incomplète qui ne reflète pas de manière exacte la situation de freinage.Drivers therefore receive incomplete information that does not accurately reflect the braking situation.
Ils ne savent pas si les véhicules qui les précèdent sont en situation de freinage d’urgence ou de simple ralentissement. Ils ne peuvent donc pas adapter leur allure en conséquence.They do not know if the vehicles in front of them are in a situation of emergency braking or simply slowing down. They cannot therefore adapt their pace accordingly.
On connaît déjà le dispositif d’allumage automatique des feux de détresse en cas de freinage d’urgence. Ce dispositif reste basé sur un fonctionnement binaire (Urgence / Non-urgence). Il ne s’applique qu’au freinage d’urgence, il n’est pas proportionnel à l’intensité de freinage.We already know the device for automatically switching on the hazard warning lights in the event of emergency braking. This device remains based on a binary operation (Emergency / Non-emergency). It only applies to emergency braking, it is not proportional to the braking intensity.
On connaît aussi les dispositifs adaptatifs permettant de réguler l’allure d’un véhicule de manière automatique en prenant en compte la distance avec le véhicule qui le précède. Mais ces systèmes ne renvoient pas d’information visuelle aux véhicules qui suivent, les privant ainsi de l’information visuelle sur la situation de freinage. Ceci est d’autant plus important dans le cas où le véhicule qui suit n’est pas équipé d’un dispositif adaptatif de régulation d’allure. C’est le cas de certaines voitures, des cyclomoteurs, des motocyclettes ou des Engins de Déplacement Personnels Motorisés (EDPM) tels que les trottinettes électriques, les gyropodes ou autres.Adaptive devices are also known which make it possible to regulate the speed of a vehicle automatically by taking into account the distance with the vehicle in front of it. But these systems do not send visual information back to the vehicles behind, thus depriving them of visual information on the braking situation. This is all the more important if the following vehicle is not equipped with an adaptive cruise control device. This is the case for certain cars, mopeds, motorcycles or Personal Motorized Transport Vehicles (EDPM) such as electric scooters, Segways or others.
Les dispositifs de conduite autonome, permettent d’affranchir le conducteur d’un certain nombre de tâches liées à la maîtrise du véhicule. Mais ces dispositifs, bien qu’autonomes et intelligents, ne renvoient pas non plus d’informations visuelles sur l’intensité de ralentissement, aux véhicules qui suivent.Autonomous driving devices free the driver from a number of tasks related to controlling the vehicle. But these devices, although autonomous and intelligent, do not return any visual information on the intensity of the slowdown to the vehicles behind.
L’invention présentée permet de remédier à ces lacunes.The invention presented makes it possible to remedy these shortcomings.
Le dispositif utilise l’information d’intensité de décélération venant du capteur d’intensité de freinage (2) (relié à la pédale ou au levier de frein) ou du capteur d’accélération (5) embarqué dans le véhicule. Le dispositif comporte un circuit intégré (3) dans lequel est inscrit le fonctionnement logique de l’invention. Ce circuit intégré (3) traite les informations d’intensité de freinage ou de décélération.The device uses the deceleration intensity information coming from the braking intensity sensor (2) (connected to the pedal or the brake lever) or from the acceleration sensor (5) on board the vehicle. The device comprises an integrated circuit (3) in which is inscribed the logic operation of the invention. This integrated circuit (3) processes information on the intensity of braking or deceleration.
Les informations traitées sont envoyées vers le feu de signalisation de freinage (4).The processed information is sent to the brake signal light (4).
Les dessins annexés illustrent l’invention.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
[Fig. 3] La [Fig. 3] représente l’invention appliquée à un cyclomoteur ou un Engin de Déplacement Personnel Motorisé (EDPM)[Fig. 3] The [Fig. 3] represents the invention applied to a moped or a Motorized Personal Mobility Device (EDPM)
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif nécessitera dans certains cas l’ajout d’un capteur d’intensité de freinage (2) et d’un capteur d’accélération (5).With reference to these drawings, the device will in some cases require the addition of a braking intensity sensor (2) and an acceleration sensor (5).
Le dispositif comporte un circuit intégré (3) dans lequel est programmé le fonctionnement logique de l’invention.The device comprises an integrated circuit (3) in which the logic operation of the invention is programmed.
Ce circuit intégré (3) prend ses informations du capteur d’intensité de freinage (2) et du capteur d’accélération (5) si le véhicule (1) en est équipé. Les informations récupérées sont envoyées au feu de signalisation de freinage (4). En fonction de l’intensité du freinage ou de décélération, le feu de signalisation de freinage (4) change d’aspect. A titre d’exemple :This integrated circuit (3) takes its information from the braking intensity sensor (2) and from the acceleration sensor (5) if the vehicle (1) is equipped with them. The information retrieved is sent to the brake signal light (4). Depending on the intensity of braking or deceleration, the brake signal light (4) changes appearance. For exemple :
- pour un freinage léger, l’affichage sera de couleur jaune et de manière continue- for light braking, the display will be yellow and continuous
- pour un freinage moyen, l’affichage sera de couleur orange et de manière continue- for medium braking, the display will be orange and continuous
- pour un freinage fort, l’affichage sera de couleur rouge et de manière clignotantefor heavy braking, the display will be red and flashing
En fonction des réglementations en vigueur, cette charte de couleur peut être adaptée ou complétée par des variations d’une fréquence de clignotement. A titre d’exemple :Depending on the regulations in force, this color chart may be adapted or supplemented by variations in flashing frequency. For exemple :
- pour un freinage léger, l’affichage se fera par un clignotement lent- for light braking, the display will flash slowly
- pour un freinage moyen, l’affichage se fera par un clignotement moyen- for medium braking, the display will be a medium flash
- pour un freinage fort, l’affichage se fera par un clignotement rapide- for heavy braking, the display will flash rapidly
Le dispositif selon l’invention est particulièrement destiné à être intégré dans tout véhicule terrestre à moteur (1). Il vient en complément du système de freinage déjà présent sur le véhicule (1). Il peut aussi être ajouté sur un véhicule (1) non équipé de feu de signalisation de freinage (4).The device according to the invention is particularly intended to be integrated into any land motor vehicle (1). It supplements the braking system already present on the vehicle (1). It can also be added to a vehicle (1) not equipped with a brake signal light (4).
