Description

Title of the invention: Road signaling device in the form of a human silhouette

[0001] This road signaling device is a human-sized silhouette cut out of an aluminum-composite panel (a lightweight material that is particularly resistant to heat and outdoor conditions).

[0002] It is designed to have a human profile shape, which makes it easily identifiable and understandable for motorists.

[0003] Equipped with a front and a back, the silhouette is marked in digital adhesive with a matte or glossy finish with the possibility of adding reflective strips for increased visibility in the dark or low light. The visual is made to measure for our customers and in high definition.

[0004] The use of magnets makes it easy to attach the silhouette to the service vehicle without damaging the bodywork.

[0005] This innovation aims to improve the safety of road workers by making their presence more visible to motorists who will be encouraged to slow down and exercise caution when approaching the work zone. This reduces the risk of collision between workers and vehicles, which is beneficial for all parties involved.

[0006] As we all know, road work areas are often dangerous places for those working.

[0007] Motorists do not slow down sufficiently when passing near intervention zones, thus endangering the lives of responders on the ground.

[0008] This invention aims to solve this problem by proposing a simple and effective solution: a magnetic silhouette on the back of a truck.

[0009] Equipped with powerful magnets that allow it to be securely attached to the vehicle, it represents the profile of the personnel involved.

[0010] It is easily installed on any type of vehicle and on any metal support present in the intervention zone.

[0011] When a motorist approaches it, he will immediately notice the silhouette.

[0012] The psychological effect is immediate: having the impression that a worker is crossing, drivers slow down.

[0013] This innovation will reduce the risk of accidents and protect the lives of teams in the field.

[0014] We are convinced that this invention can be widely used in the following sectors: road construction sites, road and highway managers, trucks sweeper, hydro cleaner, firefighters and any other personnel etc.

[0015] In summary, this invention is a simple, effective solution that can help save lives and reduce road accidents.

[0018] The technical characteristics are as follows:

[0019] Road signaling device 1 (road agent)

[0020] Format: L 550 x H 1650 mm

[0021] Material: 3mm thick aluminum composite

[0022] Visual: recto / verso in digital polymer adhesive matte or glossy lamination

[0023] Option: Retro-reflective strips

[0024] Fixing: 2 magnetic studs diameter 66mm adhesive force 25kg or diameter 88mm adhesive force 55kg.

[0025] Figures I, II and III illustrate the invention.

[0026] For installation, simply magnetize the silhouette to the vehicle at man height on the road side (See Fig. II and Fig.III) The advantages:

[0027] • Ease of installation and removal • Effective in reducing the speed of motorists • The front / back visual of the silhouette with retro-reflective bands are visible from very far away. • Reduction of road risk (personal injury and material accidents) • Very low weight, which does not cause any risk of MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders) linked to carrying loads.
