Automotive, reverse phase prevention device

Abstract

We provide a vehicle wrong-way driving prevention device that uses announcements to alert drivers who have entered an exit lane on a highway without noticing they are driving the wrong way. [Solution] The announcement-based vehicle wrong-way driving prevention device consists of a wireless transmitter (remote control) unit that can wirelessly send and receive signals to vehicles that have entered unknowingly, and a wireless transmitter (remote control) unit that can send and receive signals installed on the wall of the branch road exit. The wireless signal from the vehicle that has entered by mistake is received by the transmitter / receiver unit installed on the wall of the branch road exit, and the received signal is transmitted to the vehicle that entered unknowingly, causing a buzzer or voice message to be repeatedly sounded at the driver of the vehicle that entered by mistake, and this continues until the driver notices and switches it off. The wireless transmitter (remote control) unit is placed on the dashboard. The receiving transmitter / receiver unit is installed on a pole erected near the exit of the branch road, at a height of about 1.8m on the pole. A red flashing rotating light is installed on top of the pole to alert drivers of vehicles coming down the highway that something is wrong and prevent collisions. The signal from the remote control installed on the wall is used to repeatedly sound a buzzer or voice announcement saying "Stop, stop, you are driving the wrong way" to the vehicle that has entered unknowingly, so that it notices that it is driving the wrong way.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] It is a reverse driving prevention device that prevents a vehicle from entering a highway without noticing and driving in reverse due to a vehicle entering the branch exit of a highway without noticing.

Background Art

[0002] There is a vehicle that enters the highway without noticing the branch of the highway and drives in reverse without noticing. Document

[0003] Patent Document 1: JP 2017-182204

[0004] Install a wireless device (remote control) that can be transmitted and received to vehicles entering the highway, and install a device (remote control) that can also be transmitted and received on the wall surface of the branch exit. Receive a wireless signal from a vehicle that has entered by mistake on the wall surface, transmit the received signal to the vehicle that has entered without noticing, and repeatedly call the driver of the vehicle that has entered by mistake with a buzzer or voice. It is an announcement-type vehicle reverse driving prevention device that makes the driver notice through in-vehicle announcements until the driver notices and turns off the switch. The wireless device (remote control) installed in the vehicle that enters without noticing and the wall surface is installed at a position with a transmission distance of about 20 m at the same frequency, and the transmission side and the reception side are set to the same frequency so that it can be used on any highway in the country. It is an announcement-type vehicle reverse driving prevention device. Install a transmission and reception device on all vehicles traveling on the highway, and the transmission and reception device attached to the wall surface is installed at a position about 20 m inside from the exit of the branch. It is an announcement-type vehicle reverse driving prevention device. The power supply of the transmission and reception device installed in the vehicle is taken from the cigarette socket of the vehicle. The transmission and reception device installed on the wall surface requires a 100 v power supply or a 12 v battery. It is an announcement-type vehicle reverse driving prevention device Activate a red flashing rotating light to make the driver who is driving on the highway notice, and it becomes a signal for preventing a collision accident. The flashing red rotating light will be installed on a wall-mounted pole, 20 meters away from the wall-mounted transmitter / receiver, and the signal will be an announcement received from the wall-mounted transmitter / receiver to prevent vehicles from driving the wrong way. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] A collision occurs when a car unknowingly enters a branch lane leading to a highway and another car exits the highway and heads towards the exit, or when a car enters a highway and drives in the wrong direction. The best solution, I believe, is to install traffic lights at the exits of the branch lanes leading to the expressway to prevent cars from entering unnoticed. Since this accident occurred after the expressway was built, it's understandable that collisions like this were unimaginable initially. (Means of solving the problem)

[0006] Drivers mistakenly believe they are on a road leading to a highway, so installing traffic lights at the exits of branch roads leading to the highway would eliminate wrong-way driving accidents. However, installing new traffic lights on existing facilities would be extremely expensive, making it difficult to implement. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] Plan view of a branch line leading to the expressway. [Figure 2] Wiring diagram [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] A transmitter and receiver will be installed in the car. A device capable of transmitting and receiving will be placed 15m from the exit of the branch line. If a car mistakenly enters the wrong direction, a receiver mounted on the wall will receive the signal and transmit it back to the car. The received signal will trigger a buzzer or voice generator inside the car to repeatedly announce that it is driving the wrong way. The transmitter and receiver of the device can be made by modifying a remote control switch. To use it on highways nationwide, the remote control frequencies need to be standardized.

Claims

1. Install radio transceivers (remote controls) that can transmit and receive signals on vehicles entering the highway, and also install transceiver devices (remote controls) that can transmit and receive signals on the walls of branch line exits. This is a vehicle-wrong-way driving prevention device that uses in-car announcements to alert the driver of the wrong-way vehicle. It receives a radio signal from a vehicle that has entered the wrong way via a wall, transmits the received signal to the vehicle that has entered the wrong way without noticing, and repeatedly sounds a buzzer or voice message to the driver of the wrong-way vehicle. The announcement continues until the driver notices and switches it off.

2. This is a vehicle wrong-way driving prevention system that uses announcements to ensure that vehicles that unknowingly enter the highway and wireless devices (remote controls) installed on the wall use the same frequency and are located about 20 meters apart, allowing for use on any highway in the country.

3. Transmitting and receiving devices will be installed in all vehicles traveling on the highway. The wall-mounted transceivers will be installed about 20 meters from the exit of a branch line to prevent vehicles from driving the wrong way by making announcements.

4. The power for the transceiver installed in the car will be taken from the car's cigarette lighter socket. A vehicle wrong-way driving prevention device that uses announcements requires a 100V power supply or a 12V battery for the transmitting and receiving device installed on the wall.

5. The flashing red lights are activated to alert drivers who are exiting the highway and driving towards the vehicle, serving as a signal to prevent collisions. The red flashing rotating light will be installed on a wall-mounted pole, 20 meters away from the wall-mounted transmitter / receiver, and the signal will be an announcement received from the wall-mounted transmitter / receiver to prevent vehicles from driving the wrong way.
