Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la signalisation et de la sécurité routière.The present invention relates to the field of signaling and road safety.
Elle a pour objet un dispositif permettant d'éveiller l'attention du conducteur d'un véhicule automobile, au travers du déclenchement d'un avertisseur, notamment sonore et/ou lumineux placé à l'intérieur de l'habitacle, à proximité immédiate dudit conducteur.Its purpose is a device to awaken the attention of the driver of a motor vehicle, through the triggering of an alarm, in particular an audible and / or light placed inside the passenger compartment, close immediate said driver.
De manière connue, le déclenchement de l'avertisseur peut être provoqué au travers de signaux, par exemple radios, transmis depuis un émetteur placé sur un axe routier vers un récepteur situé à l'intérieur du véhicule et agissant sur ledit avertisseur.In known manner, the triggering of the alarm can be caused by signals, for example radios, transmitted from a transmitter placed on a road axis to a receiver located inside the vehicle and acting on said warner.
Ainsi, les documents FR 2 768 833 et US2002/175829, décrivent par exemple des dispositifs comprenant un émetteur d'ondes électromagnétiques, ou d'un signal infra-rouge, destiné à être placé soit sur la chaussée, à proximité d'une zone dangereuse, soit à l'arrière de certains véhicules, et un récepteur placé dans les véhicules à avertir, et apte à transformer l'onde électromagnétique reçue, ou le signal infra-rouge, en un signal sonore.Thus, the documents FR 2 768 833 and US2002 / 175829 describe for example devices comprising a wave transmitter electromagnetic, or an infrared signal, intended to be placed either on the roadway, near a danger zone, either at the back of some vehicles, and a receiver placed in vehicles to be warned, and capable of transforming the wave electromagnetic received, or the infrared signal, into a signal sound.
De même, le document FR 2 670 018 traite d'un dispositif constitué d'une balise émettant, en cas de danger, des signaux radios vers un récepteur embarqué à bord d'un véhicule et apte à actionner un avertisseur sonore et un dispositif visuel, ladite balise pouvant elle-même être embarquée dans un autre véhicule ou positionnée au niveau de zones à risques. Le document GB 2.265.041 présente un dispositif analogue, il comprend, fixés sur des lampadaires, des moyens d'émission d'un signal infra rouge qui concerne des informations liées à la route sur laquelle ils sont placés, et destiné à être réceptionné par des moyens récepteurs installés dans des véhicules.Similarly, the document FR 2 670 018 deals with a device consisting of a beacon emitting, in the event of danger, signals radios to a receiver on board a vehicle capable of activate an audible warning device and a visual device, beacon which can itself be carried in another vehicle or positioned at risk areas. The GB document 2.265.041 has a similar device, it includes, fixed on street lamps, means for transmitting an infra signal red which relates to road related information on which they are placed, and intended to be received by receiving means installed in vehicles.
Bien que ces dispositifs puissent permettre d'améliorer notablement la sécurité routière, leur développement commercial est aujourd'hui encore largement freiné par l'étroitesse de leur champ d'utilisation, et surtout du coût de mise en oeuvre que cela représente.Although these devices can improve notably road safety, their commercial development is still today largely hampered by the narrowness of their field of use, and especially the cost of implementation that this represents.
En effet, ils se limitent actuellement tous à avertir un conducteur uniquement d'un danger réel, généré par une situation particulière existante, telle qu'un virage dangereux, ou une chaussée encombrée du fait d'un accident de la circulation, d'un chantier, ou autre.In fact, they are currently all limited to warning a driver only of a real danger, generated by a situation existing particular, such as a dangerous turn, or a roadway congested due to a traffic accident, a site, or other.
Ainsi, ces dispositifs ne sont finalement amenés à ne fonctionner que de manière très temporaire et ponctuelle, sans tenir compte de dangers potentiels et non encore matérialisés, et ils nécessitent de manière évidente une action volontaire de déclenchement de l'émission du signal.Thus, these devices are ultimately not operate only very temporarily and punctually, without take into account potential dangers which have not yet materialized, and they obviously require voluntary action from triggering of signal transmission.
De plus, ils ne permettent pas d'apporter une réponse aux problèmes des nombreux accidents provoqués par un manque d'attention et de concentration et des phénomènes d'habitudes souvent constatés en agglomération.In addition, they do not provide an answer to problems of many accidents caused by a lack of attention and concentration and phenomena of habits often found in built-up areas.
On connaít également du document BE 1.010.379, un dispositif comprenant, pour chaque véhicule, un récepteur apte à décoder des signaux émis par des puces électroniques disposées sous la chaussée aux abords d'endroits jugés dangereux, ledit récepteur étant couplé à un moyen d'émission d'un signal sonore à l'intérieur du véhicule, qui peut être couplé à une voix synthétique ou à un affichage sur un écran disposé au niveau du tableau de bord. Ce dispositif permet d'attirer l'attention du conducteur pour faire prendre conscience à celui-ci de l'approche d'une zone dangereuse. We also know from document BE 1.010.379, a device comprising, for each vehicle, a receiver capable of decoding signals emitted by electronic chips placed under the roadway near places deemed dangerous, said receiver being coupled to a means for emitting a sound signal to the interior of the vehicle, which can be coupled to a voice synthetic or to a display on a screen arranged at the level of the dashboard. This device draws the attention of the driver to make him aware of approaching a danger zone.
Un tel dispositif peut s'avérer de fabrication complexe et d'un coût élevé, notamment dans sa version la plus élaborée, celle comprenant un moyen récepteur apte à différencier des signaux variés, et un écran ou un synthétiseur de voix.Such a device can prove to be complex to manufacture and high cost, especially in its most elaborate version, that comprising receiving means capable of differentiating signals various, and a screen or a voice synthesizer.
De plus, le dispositif objet de ce document prévoit que les endroits à signaler soient pourvus de puces électroniques, c'est-à-dire des transpondeurs, en sorte que ce qui équipe le véhicule et qui est appelé récepteur consiste en fait en un émetteur apte à animer, interroger et lire les puces. L'équipement d'un véhicule avec un tel dispositif serait d'un coût rédhibitoire, et ne pourrait donc est rendu obligatoire.In addition, the device that is the subject of this document provides that the places to report are equipped with electronic chips, that is to say transponders, so that what equips the vehicle and which is called receiver actually consists of a transmitter capable of animating, interrogating and reading the chips. Equipping a vehicle with such a device would be prohibitive cost, and therefore could not be made mandatory.
Un autre inconvénient du dispositif, tel que définit dans ce document, consiste en ce que la multiplication des points d'émission peut entraíner une émission quasi continue des signaux sonores ou lumineux, avec un effet inverse de celui recherché, soit par accoutumance, soit par agacement du conducteur.Another drawback of the device, as defined in this document, is that the multiplication of points emission can lead to an almost continuous emission of sound or light signals, with an effect opposite to that sought, either by habituation or by annoyance of the driver.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est du type comportant un moyen émetteur destiné à être placé sur un axe routier et apte à transmettre des signaux à au moins un récepteur placé à l'intérieur d'un véhicule automobile, ledit récepteur étant couplé à des moyens d'émission aptes à transformer lesdits signaux en un avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux se déclenchant à l'intérieur dudit véhicule automobile, et il se caractérise essentiellement en ce que ledit moyen émetteur est placé de manière fixe à l'entrée d'une agglomération dans laquelle doit être respectée une limitation de la vitesse, et en ce que ledit moyen émetteur est apte à émettre en permanence en sorte d'activer systématiquement le moyen récepteur de chacun des véhicules qui traversent son champ d'action et pénètrent ainsi dans ladite agglomération, tandis que des moyens de temporisation, associés auxdits moyens d'émission, permettent que l'émission de l'avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux dure un certain temps.The device according to the invention is of the type comprising a means transmitter intended to be placed on a road axis and suitable for transmit signals to at least one receiver placed at the interior of a motor vehicle, said receiver being coupled to emission means capable of transforming said signals in an audible and / or luminous warning triggered inside said motor vehicle, and it is characterized essentially in that said transmitting means is placed from fixed way at the entrance to an agglomeration in which must be respected a speed limit, and in that said transmitting means is capable of transmitting permanently so systematically activate the receiving means of each of the vehicles which cross its field of action and thus penetrate in said agglomeration, while means of delay, associated with said transmission means, allow that the emission of the audible and / or luminous warning lasts one time.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est apte à fonctionner de manière permanente, il permet de stimuler l'attention d'un conducteur afin de lui rappeler qu'il lui faut réduire sa vitesse en agglomération.The device according to the invention is able to operate from permanently it stimulates the attention of a driver to remind him that he needs to reduce his speed in built-up areas.
L'émission sonore et/ou lumineuse peut être programmée pour une durée relativement longue, afin que le conducteur ne relâche pas sa vigilance. Dans ce cas les moyens émetteurs sont également prévus aptes à émettre des signaux destinés à inhiber les moyens d'émission d'avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux lorsque le véhicule sort de l'agglomération et que cette sortie est détectée.The sound and / or light emission can be programmed for a relatively long duration, so that the driver does not release his vigilance. In this case the transmitting means are also provided capable of emitting signals intended to inhibit the means sound and / or light warning when the vehicle leaves the agglomeration and that this exit is detected.
En effet, si la traversée d'une agglomération est d'une durée inférieure au temps d'émission de l'avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux, il faut pouvoir désactiver ce dernier à la sortie de ladite agglomération, ce qui peut être réalisé automatiquement par la détection de la sortie du véhicule et l'émission d'un signal d'inhibition.Indeed, if the crossing of an agglomeration is of a duration less than the sounding time and / or light, you must be able to deactivate it when you exit said agglomeration, which can be done automatically by detecting the exit from the vehicle and issuing a inhibition signal.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, il comporte des moyens de mémorisation, aptes à conserver en mémoire la localisation du véhicule après une coupure du contact de ce dernier.According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, it comprises storage means, suitable to keep in memory the location of the vehicle after a contact cut off.
On peut en effet envisager que le véhicule s'arrête et stationne en pleine agglomération pendant l'émission de l'avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux, les moyens de mémorisation permettent ainsi, lors de redémarrage du véhicule, la reprise de l'émission de l'avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux.We can indeed consider that the vehicle stops and parks in full agglomeration during the emission of the warning sound and / or light, the memory means allow thus, when the vehicle is restarted, the resumption of the emission audible and / or light warning.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, le moyen d'émission de l'avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux est apte à coopérer avec le cinémomètre du véhicule.According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the means of issuing the audible warning and / or luminous is able to cooperate with the cinemometer of the vehicle.
Ainsi, si le cinémomètre détecte le dépassement de la vitesse autorisée, alors que le véhicule est localisé, par les moyens récepteurs, dans une agglomération, il y a déclenchement des moyens d'émission s'ils sont à ce moment là muets, ou leur signal émis est accru s'ils sont déjà en cours d'émission d'un avertissement sonore et/ou lumineux.So if the speedometer detects that the speed is exceeded authorized, while the vehicle is located, by the means receptors, in an agglomeration, there is triggering of means of emission if they are silent at the time, or their signal is increased if they are already transmitting a audible and / or luminous warning.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, le moyen émetteur est du type à infra-rouge.According to another additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the emitting means is of the infrared type.
L'invention et ses avantages seront à présent mieux compris à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, se rapportant à des exemples de réalisation donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif.The invention and its advantages will now be better understood on reading of the description which follows, relating to examples of realization given as an indication and not limiting.
L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à susciter la vigilance des usagers de la route, en particulier des automobilistes, quelles que soient les conditions de circulation et le niveau de dangerosité du trajet effectué.The invention relates to a device for inducing vigilance of road users, in particular motorists, whatever the traffic conditions and the level of dangerousness of the journey made.
Un tel dispositif est classiquement constitué d'un émetteur apte à transmettre des signaux, notamment par rayonnement infra-rouge, depuis un emplacement situé à l'entrée d'une agglomération, vers au moins un récepteur équipé de moyens appropriés pour la réception desdits signaux infra-rouge, placé à l'intérieur dudit véhicule, et relié à un moyen avertisseur du type sonore et/ou visuel.Such a device conventionally consists of a suitable transmitter to transmit signals, in particular by infrared radiation, from a location at the entrance to a agglomeration, to at least one receiver equipped with means suitable for receiving said infrared signals, placed inside said vehicle, and connected to a warning means of the sound and / or visual type.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif est équipé de moyens autorisant un fonctionnement ininterrompu de l'émetteur et du récepteur, de sorte que l'émetteur envoie continuellement des signaux infra-rouge pouvant être captés par tout récepteur traversant la zone, quelles que soient les circonstances. According to the invention, the device is equipped with means allowing uninterrupted operation of the transmitter and receiver, so that the transmitter continuously sends infrared signals can be received by any receiver crossing the area, whatever the circumstances.
Ainsi, l'émetteur sera installé à l'entrée d'une agglomération, de sorte à déclencher l'avertisseur, sous forme de bip sonore et/ou de clignotement d'une diode lumineuse, de tous les véhicules qui en sont équipés, et rappeler au conducteur qu'il est nécessaire d'adapter sa vitesse et sa conduite en fonction de la zone qu'il traverse.Thus, the transmitter will be installed at the entrance to an agglomeration, so as to trigger the alarm, in the form of a beep and / or flashing of a light diode, of all vehicles fitted with them, and remind the driver that it is necessary to adapt its speed and its behavior according to of the area it crosses.
En fait, un tel dispositif permet aussi bien de stimuler l'attention des automobilistes même en l'absence de risque manifeste, que de les rendre attentifs à des dangers reconnus, afin de leur permettre d'anticiper et de réagir rapidement face aux multiples imprévus qu'ils peuvent rencontrer.In fact, such a device can also stimulate the attention of motorists even in the absence of risk manifest, that to make them aware of recognized dangers, to allow them to anticipate and react quickly when faced with to the many unforeseen events they may encounter.
Pour qu'un tel dispositif puisse fonctionner de manière continue, l'émetteur et le récepteur seront par exemple alimentés au moyen d'accus autorisant une autonomie de longue durée.So that such a device can function in a way continuous, the transmitter and the receiver will for example powered by batteries allowing long autonomy duration.
Le récepteur peut être apte à être fixé dans l'habitacle du véhicule, ou bien faire partie de l'équipement d'origine de ce dernier.The receiver may be able to be fixed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, or be part of the original equipment of this latest.
Bien entendu, l'émetteur peut également être relié directement au réseau électrique, en particulier lorsqu'il est destiné à demeurer au même emplacement.Of course, the transmitter can also be connected directly to the electricity network, in particular when it is intended for stay in the same location.
Une telle invention présente par conséquent des avantages par rapport aux dispositifs existants.Such an invention therefore has advantages by compared to existing systems.
En particulier, le conducteur dont le véhicule est équipé d'un récepteur apte à recevoir les signaux de l'émetteur, sera à nouveau concentré sur la route, pourra adapter sa conduite en fonction de la zone qu'il traverse. In particular, the driver whose vehicle is equipped with a receiver capable of receiving signals from the transmitter, will be new focus on the road, can adapt his driving in depending on the area it crosses.
D'autre part, un tel système est également ludique et éducatif pour les passagers des véhicules concernés, en particulier les enfants qui seront ainsi préparés en permanence à l'environnement automobile.On the other hand, such a system is also fun and educational for the passengers of the vehicles concerned, in particular the children who will thus be permanently prepared for the automotive environment.
Le faible coût d'un tel dispositif, plus particulièrement en ce qui concerne la partie destinée à équiper un véhicule, permet d'envisager une monte d'origine obligatoire au même titre que les feux clignotants par exemple, sachant que la partie la plus coûteuse, à savoir les moyens émetteurs seraient à la charge des pouvoirs publics, voire des collectivités locales.The low cost of such a device, more particularly in that which concerns the part intended to equip a vehicle, allows to consider a compulsory original mounting as well as flashing lights for example, knowing that the most costly, namely the transmitting means would be borne by the public authorities, even local authorities.
