Abstract

The system has an electronic unit (4) with a transmitter, receiver, computer, memory, sensors, a display (2) and an antenna (1). The system operates depending on the temperature and speed. Wheel slip during deceleration and acceleration is detected by sensors (3) on each wheel, computed and sent via the antenna to other vehicles that are likewise fitted with this warning system.

Description

Für folgende Fahrzeuge: LKW, PKW, BUSSE, TRANSPORTER, ec.For the following vehicles: truck, car, BUS, TRANSPORTER, ec.

principle of operation

Basierend auf dem System der elektronischen Datenübermittlung per Funk untereinander.Based on the system of electronic data transmission by radio among themselves.

Das System arbeitet temperatur-und geschwindigkeitsabhängig.The system works depending on temperature and speed.

- Rotational differences of the wheels while driving are as with ABS from the sensors registered. From approx. 30 km / h and from approx. + 3 ° C there will be circulation differences calculated, registered, displayed and regionally within a radius of about 10 km.
- Slip of individual wheels while driving, braking and Accelerations are recorded by the individual vehicles, saved and transmitted to each other by sender / receiver.
- Transmitting pulses are necessary for the transmission of the data.
- Simply by switching on the ignition, the driver on the See the display to see if the road is slippery.

Aufgrund der einheitlichen Sende/Empfangsleistung und der Displaykonstruktion ist für jeden Fahrer ersichtlich, ob er sich in eine, Glättebereich befindet. Umlaufdifferenzen des eigenen Fahrzeugs werden im Display gesondert angezeigt. Due to the uniform transmission / reception performance and the display construction Every driver can see whether he is in a smooth area. Circulation differences of your own vehicle are shown separately on the display displayed.

Advantages for the driver

Schon vor Antritt der Fahrt ist er über eventuelle Strassenglätte informiert;
Während der Fahrt ist er jederzeit regional aktuell informiert;
Der Fahrer kann sich somit rechtzeitig den Witterungscerhältnissen anpassen;
Für Führerscheinneulinge und unerfahrene Fahrer sehr hilfreich.Before the start of the trip, he is informed about any slippery roads;
During the trip, he is always up to date with the region;
The driver can thus adapt to the weather conditions in good time;
Very helpful for novice drivers and inexperienced drivers.

Advantages for the holder

Schadenintensive LKW-Unfälle werden deutlich reduziert;
Bus-Unfälle mit meist erheblichen Personenschäden werden stark minimiert.Damage-intensive truck accidents are significantly reduced;
Bus accidents with mostly considerable personal injuries are greatly minimized.

Benefits for insurance companies

Aufgrund Serieneinbau und Schadensrückgang könnten die Haftpflichtbeiträge deutlich gesenkt werden, der Halter wird dadurch erheblich entlastet,
Auswertung der gespeicherten Daten bestimmt den Haftungsgrad,
Mitschuldermittlung bei Unfällen (Datenvergleich).
Aufmerksame Fahrweise wird praktisch erzwungen.
Haftungsausschluss bei nachweisbar fahrlässiger Fahrweise.
"Unverhoffte" Unfälle aufgrund Strassenglätte sind praktisch unmöglich.Liability contributions could be significantly reduced due to series installation and a decrease in damage, which considerably relieves the burden on the keeper.
Evaluation of the stored data determines the level of liability,
Co-determination of accidents in accident (data comparison).
Attentive driving is practically enforced.
Disclaimer for demonstrably negligent driving.
"Unexpected" accidents due to slippery roads are practically impossible.

Dieses aktive Glatteiswarnsystem ist bei einheitlicher Norm und Serieneinbau ein Beitrag, die Unfallzahlen sehr deutlich zu senken.This active ice warning system is with a uniform standard and series installation a contribution to significantly reducing the number of accidents.

Claims

1. Electronic black ice warning system active consisting of electronic Unit with transmitter / receiver / computer / memory / sensors / display and Antenna.

2. System works depending on temperature and speed.

3. Slip of the vehicle wheels when accelerating as well as Ver delay are in front of the sensors on each wheel (No. 3 d. Z.) recorded by the el. unit, calculated and via the antenna (No. 1 d. Z.) sent to other vehicles that also use this warning system are equipped.

4. Rotational differences of the wheels of your own vehicle due to smooth ice are acoustically shown on a display in your own vehicle also visually reported and by the located in the el. unit The transmitter is broadcast within a radius of approx. 10 km. Vehicles in this area receive the radio signal, which in turn reaches its display from its electrical unit.

5. The transmitter power of the el. Units of all vehicles can therefore must be relatively small due to the international application of the frequency be uniform.

6. Save the data in the electrical unit of each vehicle of at least 30 minutes of the sent and received signals to the con trolls or reconstructions in case of accidents, similar to the black box.

7. Applicability for all vehicles in road traffic.

8. Due to the limited transmission power of the el. Units, Dis play to see how far a vehicle is, the warning impulses sending out. E.g. distance 8 km: weak reception pulse. If a vehicle sends impulses up close, it appears on the Display more intense.
