Abstract
Description
Lenkräder für Kraftfahrzeuge werden nach heutigem Stand der Technik mit und ohne Airbag ausgeführt. Außer dem Hupsignal werden standardgemäß keine weiteren Signale direkt vom Lenkrad aus initiiert. Außerhalb der Standard- Lenkräder gibt es Lenkrad-Sonderausführungen mit Drucksensoren (a) oder Rändelschrauben zur Scroll-Führung eines Displays für Aufruffunktionen (b).Steering wheels for motor vehicles are made according to today's State of the art with and without airbag. Apart from the horn signal, none are standard other signals initiated directly from the steering wheel. Outside the standard steering wheels there are special steering wheel versions with pressure sensors (a) or knurled screws for scroll guidance a display for Call functions (b).

Häufig ist beim Fahren eines Fahrzeuges, primär die momentane Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit interessant zu wissen. Immer dann, wenn Gebotsschilder gemäß Straßenverkehrsordnung zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeiten anmahnen, wie dies insbesondere bei Baustellen auf Straßen und Autobahnen der Fall ist. Da heutzutage mit weitreichenden Konsequenzen bis hin zum Führerscheinentzug gerechnet werden muss, kann eine Überschreitung der erlaubten Geschwindigkeit keinesfalls mehr als Kavaliersdelikt betrachtet werden. Leider ist dem Fahrzeugführer bzw. der Fahrzeugführerin für gewöhnlich die momentane Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs nur unzureichend bewusst, so dass bei einer plötzlich auftretenden Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkung zunächst mit dem Blick auf den Bord-Tacho in der Instrumententafel der Geschwindigkeits-Soll-Ist-Vergleich durchgeführt werden muss. Leider ist dieser Blick auf das Tachometer häufig nicht blendfrei gegeben oder sogar durch Teile des Lenkrades versperrt. Letzteres ist insbesondere bei nicht höhenverstellbaren Lenkrad-Ausführungen gegeben. Leider ist daraus resultierend nicht gegeben, dass einer Fahrzeugführerin oder einem Fahrzeugführer die momentane Geschwindigkeit des Fahzeugs ständig dermaßen bewusst ist, dass beispielsweise im Fall einer plötzlich drohenden Radarmessung, der Fahrerin oder dein Fahrer klar ist, ob es überhaupt nötig ist, dass das Fahrzeug abgebremst werden muss und wenn, um wie viel.Frequently is when driving a vehicle, primarily the current vehicle speed interesting to know. Whenever there are mandatory signs in accordance with the traffic regulations permissible maximum speeds Remind us how this is particularly the case on construction sites on roads and Motorways is the case. Because nowadays with far-reaching consequences up to the withdrawal of a license must be expected may exceed the permitted Speed is no longer viewed as a minor offense become. Unfortunately, the driver or the driver usually the current one Insufficiently aware of the vehicle's speed, so that at one suddenly occurring speed limit first with a view of the On-board speedometer in the instrument panel of the speed-target-actual comparison got to. Unfortunately, this look at the speedometer is often not given glare-free or even blocked by parts of the steering wheel. The latter is particularly the case with non-height-adjustable steering wheel designs given. Unfortunately, this does not mean that one Driver or a driver the current speed of the vehicle is constantly so aware that, for example in the event of a sudden threat Radar measurement, the driver or your driver knows whether it is at all is necessary that the vehicle has to be braked and if so by how much.
ProblemlösungTroubleshooting
Dieses Problem wird gelöst, indem die Tachoanzeige im oberen Teil des Lenkradgriffs integriert wird. Dabei ist die Tacho-Anzeige auf die akuten Lichtverhältnisse im Fahrzeuginnern abzustimmen, damit hinsichtlich eines permanenten Wahrnehmungseffektes die optimale Leuchtstärke der Tacho-Anzeige erreicht wird. Die Lenkrad-Tachoanzeige kann sowohl als Digital-Pendant zur Tachoanzeige in der Cockpit-Instrumententafel ausgeführt sein, als auch als alleiniger Fahrzeug-Tacho. Letzteres ermöglicht eine großzügigere Gestaltung der Cockpit-Lnstrumententafel, weil freier Platz zur Verfügung steht.This problem is solved by the speedometer display is integrated in the upper part of the steering wheel handle. The speedometer display is based on the acute lighting conditions to coordinate in the vehicle interior, so with regard to a permanent Perception effect the optimal brightness of the speedometer display reached becomes. The steering wheel speedometer display can be used as a digital counterpart to the speedometer display be carried out in the cockpit instrument panel, as well as being the only one Vehicle odometer. The latter enables a more generous design the cockpit instrument panel because there is free space available.
Erreichte VorteileAchieved advantages
Durch die permanente Vergegenwärtigung der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit durch eine Anzeige auf dem oberen Teil des Lenkradgriffes für die Fahrzeugführerinnen und Fahrzeugführer wird erreicht, dass keine Geschwindigkeitsabfrage im Bedarfsfall bzw. bei Standard-Situationen notwendig wird. Das Aufstellen von Radarmessstationen und Ergebnistafeln, die das Messergebnis für jedes erfasste Fahrzeug individuell-wechselnd anzeigen, wird dadurch überflüssig und somit können die Kosten für solche Aufstellungen durch die öffentliche Hand eingespart werden.Through the permanent visualization of the Vehicle speed through an indicator on the upper part of the Steering wheel handle for the drivers and drivers is achieved that no speed query when necessary or is necessary in standard situations. Setting up Radar measuring stations and result tables showing the measurement result for each This means that the recorded vehicle can be displayed individually and alternately, making it unnecessary and thus can the price for such statements by the public Be saved by hand.
Weitere VorteileAdditional advantages
Nicht nur die Fahrzeugführer, sondern auch weitere Insassen des Fahrzeugs haben die Möglichkeit die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit leichter einzusehen. Bei sportlichen Fahrzeugen können die Geschwindigkeitsveränderungen bei maximalen Bahn-Beschleunigungen oder -Verzögerungen leichter visuell verifiziert werden.Not just the drivers, but other vehicle occupants also have the option of vehicle speed easier to see. In sporty vehicles, the speed changes Visually verified more easily at maximum orbit accelerations or decelerations become.
