AI Technical Summary
Current traffic systems lack effective communication between drivers and pedestrians, particularly in areas without traffic lights, leading to accidents and confusion.
A system where a button on the steering wheel activates green LED lights on the front and rear of a vehicle, indicating to pedestrians that the driver is giving way, enhancing communication and safety.
This system reduces pedestrian accidents by improving communication between drivers and pedestrians, making it safer for pedestrians to cross and maintaining orderly traffic flow.
Abstract
Description
DESCRIPTION 5 WILL REVISE TRAFFIC RULES YOU TURN ON THE GREEN LIGHT INVENTION Technical Area This invention falls into the field of traffic safety and automotive technologies. Pedestrians and 10 a signaling system to improve communication between drivers and reduce accidents is aimed at developing the system. Where there are no traffic lights or pedestrian crossings In cases where there is no right of way between the driver and the pedestrian, the right of way belongs to the pedestrian. The pedestrian is in a dilemma about whether to cross or not. This dilemma sometimes causes traffic It causes accidents. The invention includes 15 Reducing the rate of traffic accidents involving pedestrians thanks to the innovation to be introduced In the invention, if the vehicle driver is going to give way to a pedestrian, he / she should do so by turning the steering wheel By pressing a button (3), the system will turn on the green lights at the front (1) and the back (2) of the vehicle. It will activate the button and enable the pedestrian to cross the road safely. When you press it a second time, the system will turn off. Both the front (1) and the back (2) of the vehicle 20 The reason why the green light is on is so that the driver of the vehicle coming from behind can see the vehicle in front of him. is to ensure that the driver understands that he is giving way to a pedestrian and stops. State of the Art In current traffic systems, communication between pedestrians and drivers is largely ignored. is provided by contact and gestures. However, these methods are not always reliable. pedestrian accidents. Some new vehicle models have pedestrian There are sensing systems and automatic braking systems, but drivers a direct signaling system to inform pedestrians 30 There are no known signal lamps and their functions are as follows; Headlights, low beam (on the vehicle low beams illuminate 25 meters) and high beam (high beams in the vehicle illuminate 100 meters) There are two different headlight bulbs: and . When the low beams are on, the instrument panel The green color lamp is on. In the invention, a different indicator will be used than this green lamp. The little green man (6) will be used as an indicator. Elderly, pregnant and disabled 35 Our invention is very important for individuals. 1 When the high beams are turned on, the blue light on the instrument panel lights up. Brake light; The red lights behind the vehicle are on, which tells other drivers that the vehicle is braking. Reverse light; white lights on the back of the vehicle It notifies drivers that the vehicle in front is in reverse. Flasher; The function of the flasher is to signal to ensure that the lights flash. Right turn signal lights, left turn 10 It shows that the signal lights are working. Four-way flashers; emergency warning lights, i.e. four-way warning It ensures that the lights are on. In case of a forced stop when the vehicle breaks down. is used. Parking lamps and rear fog lamps are also available. A similar There is no signal light to ensure pedestrian crossing safety. The vehicle brakes When you press the brakes, the red lights at the back of the vehicle come on, but why does the vehicle have to brake for 15 minutes? There is no system that notifies you that you are stepping on the road. In other words, there is no system that notifies you that you are giving way to a pedestrian. The system is also needed because the vehicle coming from behind is thinking of passing without stopping. The driver will be warned with the green light system so that the pedestrian can pass safely. The driver coming from behind will also understand that the vehicle in front is giving way to the pedestrian and will stop. Description of the Invention 20 The invention is designed to indicate that the driver is giving way to the pedestrian and that the pedestrian can pass, for green signal lights that will strengthen communication between drivers and pedestrians A button (3) will be added to the steering wheel. Normally, to inform other vehicles, In addition to the yellow signal lights used, it will directly inform pedestrians. There will be LED lights for the green light and when a button (3) mounted on the steering wheel is pressed, 25 The front (1) and rear (2) turn signal lights will light up green. This indicates that the driver is will be more visible than the signs it makes from within. The green light in traffic on a global level You Burn invention is a choice that car manufacturers will make for vehicle and pedestrian safety. will be the system. The purpose of the invention and its innovations This invention is a signal that allows drivers to inform pedestrians to cross. system. The front (1) of the vehicle is controlled by a button (3) integrated into the steering wheel. and (2) green LED lights on the back to signal pedestrians to cross safely This system reduces accidents by increasing communication between the driver and pedestrian and 35 aims to regulate traffic flow. 2 “According to the official website of the General Directorate of Security Traffic Presidency, 5 Traffic accidents resulting from hitting pedestrians in February 2025 number is 2,569. The number of accidents involving pedestrians in the first two months of 2025 is 5,425.” [1]. “Traffic accidents, such as hitting a pedestrian in a place where there is no crosswalk, unfortunately pedestrians may suffer serious bodily injuries, broken bones or amputations In such cases, the person injured in the accident may be 10 himself or his heirs, if he has died, to compensate for the material and moral damages incurred. "In a place where there is no pedestrian crossing, the person has the right to file a lawsuit for compensation." [2] pedestrian or driver faults are being investigated, the results will cause problems for both parties The invention does not include a system that will prevent these problems from occurring. It is mentioned and if it comes to life, the accidents that occur in this way will cause 15 material and moral losses will be minimized. In traffic, pedestrian crossing or traffic pedestrian and driver to give way to pedestrians in places where there are no traffic lights Traffic accidents can occur because communication between vehicles becomes difficult. Hazard lights; emergency warning It ensures that the lights, i.e. the hazard warning lights, come on. When the vehicle breaks down, it is mandatory used in the stopping state. Parking lamps and rear fog lamps are also available. 20 A signal lamp that will provide pedestrian crossing safety similar to the one in the invention There is no. When the vehicle brakes, the red lights at the rear of the vehicle are on. However, there is no system that tells the pedestrian why the vehicle has applied the brakes. In other words, There is also a need for a system that notifies you to give way, because there are people coming from behind and The driver of the vehicle that intends to pass will be warned with the green light system so that the pedestrian will be 25 The driver coming from behind must give way to the pedestrian in front of the vehicle in order to pass safely. understand and stop. Nowadays, drivers show that they are giving way to pedestrians. usually using methods such as hand signals, eye contact or stopping the vehicle. This communication becomes difficult especially at night, in rainy or foggy weather. There are no traffic lights. There is still a need for communication between drivers and pedestrians at crossings. Our 30 The difference of our solution is the green signal system, at pedestrian crossings without traffic lights Safer pedestrian crossing by supporting communication between drivers and pedestrians provides. While new vehicles have automatic braking system, old vehicles do not. Also, These systems do not operate at the driver's discretion and may not be effective in all situations. The difference of our solution is that green signal lights are a solution that works with the driver's control. 35 The unique aspect of the invention is that it provides a visual and universal language of communication. It is important that a signal indicating that the driver is giving way to the pedestrian becomes standard, provides a solution that can be expanded internationally. 3 Local and national energy efficient LEDs will be used in the invention. 5 by local manufacturers Improved control circuits and microcontrollers will be integrated. Respectful to pedestrians There will be a technology that will encourage behavior.
