The crosswalk 20 has a striped pattern of white paint drawn on the pavement surface so that it can be easily seen by both the pedestrian 22 and the vehicle 11. The pedestrian crossing 20 is provided at a point where crossing is dangerous in a congested place in addition to an intersection, and is particularly provided in an area where many children pass, such as near a school.

The vehicle 11 is a vehicle that travels by using an internal combustion engine or a rotary electric machine as a drive source, and is a four-wheeled vehicle, a three-wheeled vehicle, a motorcycle, or the like. In FIG. 1, the vehicle 11 is described as being a four-wheeled vehicle. FIG. 1A is a view showing the front side (front side) of the vehicle 11, and FIG. 1B is a view showing the back side (rear side) of the vehicle 11.

Two headlights 3 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the central portion in the front portion on the front side of the vehicle 11, so that the vehicle can travel in a state of illuminating the front at night or the like. Two front direction indicators 4 are provided on the outside of each headlight 3.

The two front turn signals 4 are devices for indicating the direction to the surroundings when the vehicle 11 turns left or right or changes course, and are also used as hazard lamps by blinking both sides at the same time in an emergency. .. The two front turn signals 4 are configured to include a light emitter such as a light bulb or an LED, and blink orange or yellow.

The front part of the vehicle 11 is provided in the front part separately from the two front direction indicators 4, and when the vehicle 11 is temporarily stopped at the stop line 8 of the crosswalk 20, the two front direction indicators 4 are used. Is provided with front lighting portions 12a and 12b that can blink in different colors.

In the example of FIG. 1A, the front lighting portions 12a and 12b will be described as being provided slightly inside and below the two headlights 3, but of course, they are installed in other places. May be good.

The front lighting units 12a and 12b blink green. The driver turns green by operating the green button for blinking the front lighting units 12a and 12b, which are provided separately from the hazard button used when the two front direction indicators 4 are used as hazard lamps. Flashes.

Specifically, when the vehicle 11 temporarily stops in front of the stop line 8 of the crosswalk 20 as shown in FIG. 2, the driver operates the green button, so that the two front lighting portions 12a and 12b Flashes green.

Two tail lamps 6 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the central portion at the rear portion on the rear side of the vehicle 11, so that the vehicle can travel in a lit state in order to notify the following vehicle of its existence at night or the like. it can.

The two tail lamps 6 may also serve as brake lamps that light up when the brake for braking the movement of the vehicle 11 is stepped on. The two tail lamps 6 are configured to include a light emitting body such as a light bulb or an LED, and are lit in red. Two front turn signals 4 are provided on the outside of each tail lamp 6.

Like the two front turn signals 4, the two rear turn signals 7 are devices for indicating the direction to the surroundings when the vehicle 11 turns left or right or changes course. The two rear direction indicators 7 are configured to include a light emitter such as a light bulb or an LED, and blink orange or yellow in a state of being interlocked with the two front direction indicators 4.

The rear part of the vehicle 11 is provided at the rear separately from the two rear direction indicators 7, and when the vehicle 11 is temporarily stopped at the stop line 8 of the pedestrian crossing 20, the color is different from the two rear direction indicators 7. A blinkable rear lighting unit 14 is provided.

In the example of FIG. 1B, it is assumed that only one rear lighting unit 14 is provided slightly inside and below the two headlights 3. Since the rear lighting unit 14 is for notifying the driver of the following vehicle 11, it is considered that one is sufficient, but of course two may be provided.

The rear lighting unit 14 blinks green. When the driver operates the green button for blinking the front lighting units 12a and 12b and the front lighting units 12a and 12b blink, the rear lighting unit 14 blinks green.

The display unit 24 is composed of green light that emerges on the crosswalk 20 when it detects that the front lighting portions 12a and 12b of the vehicle 11 are blinking on the stop line 8 of the crosswalk 20. The safety area portion 30 is displayed.

When it is no longer detected that the front lighting portions 12a and 12b of the vehicle 11 are blinking on the stop line 8 of the pedestrian crossing 20, the green light is not emitted and the safety area portion 30 disappears. Then, return to the general pedestrian crossing 20.

The detection unit of the display unit 24 is configured to include a surveillance camera that monitors the stop line 8 of the pedestrian crossing 20, and has an image recognition function when the front lighting portions 12a and 12b are photographed by the surveillance camera. The blinking of the lighting units 12a and 12b is detected.

The safety area portion 30 is an area formed on the pedestrian crossing 20 by passing green light in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The light emitting unit of the display unit 24 can be configured by using a light emitting element that emits green light, for example, a green LED or the like.

Subsequently, the operation of the pedestrian crossing temporary stop blinking system 1 having the vehicle 11 equipped with the pedestrian crossing temporary stop blinking device 10 having the above configuration will be described. In recent years, the number of traffic accidents has increased as the number of automobiles traveling on the road has increased.

There are various places where traffic accidents occur, but the pedestrian crossing 20 without traffic lights is considered to be one of the places where accidents occur frequently. Generally, it is said that about 90% of the vehicles 11 do not pause at the pedestrian crossing 20.

The reason for not stopping is "because it is dangerous because the oncoming vehicle does not stop even if you stop" "because there is no car coming from behind and I thought that pedestrians could cross if I passed by" "pedestrians on the crosswalk" There are voices such as "I don't know if I will cross even if I'm there", "I've been about to be hit by a following car when I paused", and "I'm in a hurry".

Conventionally, if there is no traffic light at the pedestrian crossing 20, there are few vehicles 11 that actively pause, and people who want to stop do not stop because they are afraid of a rear-end collision from a follower. A new mechanism is needed to actively stop at 20.

According to the blinking system 1 for pausing the pedestrian crossing, the driver of the vehicle 11 operates the green button at the stop line 8 of the pedestrian crossing 20 to pause. As a result, the front lighting portions 12a and 12b, which are different from the hazard lamps and the like, blink in green, so that the pedestrian 22 trying to cross the pedestrian crossing 20 can grasp and cross the pedestrian crossing 20 with peace of mind. It has a remarkable effect of being able to do it.

Further, in conjunction with the blinking of the front lighting portions 12a and 12b, the rear lighting portion 14 also blinks in green, so that the vehicle 11 in front of the following vehicle 11 is also temporarily stopped at the pedestrian crossing 20. It can be easily grasped and a rear-end collision can be prevented.

Further, when the blinking of the front lighting portions 12a and 12b is detected, the crosswalk 20 emerges from the safety region portion 30 composed of green light, so that the pedestrian 22 can walk with peace of mind.

Further, even if the driver of the oncoming vehicle cannot grasp that the vehicle 11 is blinking the front lighting portions 12a and 12b on one of the stop lines 8, the green safety region portion 30 emerges on the crosswalk 20. If so, the driver can be more surely noticed and paused.

According to the blinking system 1 for pausing the pedestrian crossing, it blinks green when the pedestrian crossing 20 is paused. Green is a color completely different from the colors of conventional direction indicators and the like, and has a gentle image including ecology, so there is an advantage that it is easy for the driver of each vehicle 11 to be aware of it. As described above, according to the blinking system 1 for pausing the pedestrian crossing, the safety of the pedestrian 22 walking on the pedestrian crossing 20 can be ensured, which is a remarkable effect.
