Kartsport kann in einen Wettkampfbereich und einen Hobbybereich unterteilt werden. Im Hobbybereich sind die Karts meist Leih-Karts, die elektrisch oder fossil angetriebenen werden. Racetracks called, which are usually traversed several times in one direction, clockwise or counterclockwise. Karting can be divided into a competition area and a hobby area. In the hobby area, the karts are mostly rental karts that are powered by electricity or fossil.
Aktuelle Herausforderungen im Kartsport, insbesondere im Hobbybereich, sind vor allem wirtschaftlicher Natur. Zum einen ist die Kundenbindung zu gering, da Besucher einer Kartbahn überhaupt nicht oder nicht regelmäßig wiederkommen, und zum zweiten ist, wenn sie kommen, deren Aufenthaltsdauer im Bereich der Kartbahn zu gering. Aus diesem Grund gibt es das Bestreben, den Kartsport auf und im Bereich der Fahrbahn unterhaltsamer zu machen. Current challenges in karting, especially in hobby, are mainly economic. On the one hand, the customer loyalty is too low, because visitors to a kart track do not come back at all or not regularly, and secondly, when they come, their length of stay in the kart track area is too low. For this reason, there is an endeavor to make karting on and in the area of the road more entertaining.
Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, das emotionalen Erlebnis der Besucher auf und im Bereich der Fahrbahn zu verbessern. Nach Ansicht der Erfinder können neuartige technische Mittel, die zusätzliche unterhaltsame Informationen zur Verfügung zu stellen, diese Aufgabe adressieren. It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve the emotional experience of the visitors on and in the area of the roadway. In the inventors' view, novel technical means that provide additional entertaining information may address this task.
Aus dem Automobilbereich sind sogenannte„Head-Up Displays" bekannt, die dazu dienen, dem Fahrer zusätzliche Informationen in dessen Sichtfeld zu projizieren, beispielsweise in einem Bereich der Windschutzscheibe. Diese Informationen sind meist sicherheitsrelevant und beziehen sich beispielsweise auf die aktuelle Geschwindigkeit oder den Abstand zu einem vorherfahrenden Fahrzeug. Derartige Systeme sind für den Kartsport und alle verwandten Motorsportserien, bei denen das Fahrzeug eine offene Bauweise aufweist und der Fahrer einen Helm trägt, ungeeignet, da sie zu anfällig für Beschädigung und sich nicht in ein derartiges Fahrzeug integrieren lassen, vor allem da die Projektionsfläche fehlt. From the automotive sector, so-called "head-up displays" are known, which serve to project additional information to the driver in the field of view, for example in an area of the windshield. This information is usually safety-relevant and relate, for example, to the current speed or the distance to a preceding vehicle. Such systems are unsuitable for karting and all related motor sport series in which the vehicle has an open design and the driver wears a helmet because they are too susceptible to damage and can not be integrated into such a vehicle, especially since the projection surface is missing ,
Als Wiedergabemöglichkeit solcher Informationen sind folglich nur die Fahrbahn selbst und/ oder Elemente geeignet, die sich im Bereich der Fahrbahn und/ oder im Sichtfeld einer, sich in einem Fahrzeug befindlichen Person befinden. Aus dem öffentlichen Straßenverkehr sind Wiedergabemittel bekannt, mit deren Hilfe sich Verkehrszeichen auf die Fahrbahn projizieren lassen. Die EP 2 141 679 AI offenbart eine derartige Verkehrseinrichtung mit einer Projektionsvorrichtung, die an einem horizontalen Balken über der Fahrbahn angeordnet ist. Derartige Vorrichtungen sind für die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ungeeignet, da sie für eine vollkommen andere Anwendung ausgelegt sind, mit dem Ziel, immer dieselbe und möglichst leicht verständliche Verkehrsinformation für viele anonyme Verkehrsteilnehmer bereitzustellen. Consequently, only the roadway itself and / or elements which are located in the area of the roadway and / or in the field of vision of a person located in a vehicle are suitable as the reproduction possibility of such information. From the public traffic reproduction means are known, with the help of which traffic signs can be projected onto the road. EP 2 141 679 A1 discloses such a traffic device with a projection device which is arranged on a horizontal bar above the roadway. Such devices are unsuitable for the purposes of the present invention, as they are designed for a completely different application, with the aim of always providing the same and most easily understood traffic information for many anonymous road users.
