Description
AT 398 295 BAT 398 295 B
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Unfall-Beweissicherungsvorrichtung an Fahrzeugen, bei welcher eine am Fahrzeug montierte Videokamera ihr Bildsignal an einen Bildspeicher liefert.The invention relates to an accident-securing device on vehicles, in which a video camera mounted on the vehicle delivers its image signal to an image memory.
In der DE-OS 2 209 952 wird beispielsweise vorgeschlagen, die Bildinformationen von an der Rückseite des Fahrzeuges montierten und nach hinten ausgerichteten Kameras aufzuzeichnen und zur späteren Wiedergabe festzuhalten. Weiters ist der letztgenannten Patentschrift die parallele Darstellung mehrerer von verschiedenen Kameras stammender Bilder auf Monitoren am Armaturenbrett des Fahrzeuges zu entnehmen.In DE-OS 2 209 952 it is proposed, for example, to record the image information from cameras mounted on the rear of the vehicle and oriented to the rear and to record them for later playback. Furthermore, the last-mentioned patent specification shows the parallel representation of several images from different cameras on monitors on the dashboard of the vehicle.
Ausgehend vom beschriebenen Stand der Technik war es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, die eine größere Nützlichkeit bei der nachträglichen Unfallrekonstruierung aufweist.Starting from the prior art described, it was the object of the present invention to provide a device which has greater utility in the subsequent accident reconstruction.
Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß eine Videokamera an der Vorderseite des Fahrzeuges vorzugsweise im Stoßstangen- oder Windschutzscheibenbereich angebracht und auf den vor dem Fahrzeug liegenden Bereich ausgerichtet ist. Der Begriff "Fahrzeug" umfaßt insbesondere Straßen-und Schienenfahrzeuge, Boote und Luftfahrzeuge.The object is achieved according to the invention in that a video camera is attached to the front of the vehicle, preferably in the bumper or windshield area, and is aligned with the area in front of the vehicle. The term " vehicle " includes in particular road and rail vehicles, boats and aircraft.
Mit der genannten Bildaufzeichnung kann z.B. ein heranlaufender Fußgänger, das plötzlich ausscherende Vorderfahrzeug etc. gesehen werden und die Aufzeichnungen können jederzeit und beliebig oft auf normalen Fernsehgeräten wieder gezeigt und als Beweismittel ausgewertet werden.With the image recording mentioned, e.g. a pedestrian approaching, the suddenly moving vehicle in front, etc. can be seen and the recordings can be shown at any time and as often as desired on normal television sets and used as evidence.
Eine Erhöhung der Betriebssicherheit kann dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Videokamera beim Einlegen eines Ganges automatisch durch eine Wirkverbindung mit dem Getriebe aktiviert wird. Damit erfolgt die Inbetriebnahme in einer Weise, daß ein Vergessen auf das Einschalten der Vorrichtung mit Sicherheit ausgeschlossen ist.An increase in operational safety can be achieved in that the video camera is automatically activated by an active connection with the transmission when a gear is engaged. The start-up is thus carried out in such a way that forgetting to switch on the device is definitely impossible.
Vorzugsweise scheint in an sich bekannter Weise das Sichtbild der Videokamera auf einem Monitor im oder am Armaturenbrett des Fahrzeuges auf.The visual image of the video camera preferably appears in a manner known per se on a monitor in or on the dashboard of the vehicle.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist die Videokamera in an sich bekannter Weise schwenkbar montiert. Die zweckmäßig an der Vorderfront angebrachte optische Vorrichtung vergrößert somit den Bereich der beobachtet werden kann, wodurch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch besonders vorteilhaft zusätzlich auch als Einparkhilfe zu verwenden ist.According to a further feature of the invention, the video camera is pivotally mounted in a manner known per se. The optical device expediently attached to the front thus enlarges the area that can be observed, as a result of which the device according to the invention can also be used particularly advantageously as a parking aid.
Die schwenkbare Videokamera kann gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung durch eine Verbindung mit der Lenkung des Fahrzeuges gekennzeichnet und synchron mit der Stellung der Räder oder anderer Teile der Lenkeinrichtung schwenkbar sein. Dies ist sowohl bei der Unfall-Beweissicherung von Vorteil, da die jeweilige Kamera beispielsweise den Straßen- oder Schienenverlauf auch bei kurviger Strecke abdeckt und bei Straßenfahrzeugen auch beim Einparken ein der jeweiligen Situation optimal angepaßtes Beobachtungsfeld bietet, ohne den Fahrer durch manuelles Betätigen der Kameras zusätzlich zu belasten.According to a further feature of the invention, the pivotable video camera can be characterized by a connection to the steering of the vehicle and can be pivoted synchronously with the position of the wheels or other parts of the steering device. This is an advantage both in the case of accident evidence preservation, since the respective camera covers, for example, the course of the road or rail even on a winding route and, in the case of road vehicles, also offers an observation field that is optimally adapted to the respective situation when parking, without the driver having to manually operate the cameras to charge.
Trotzdem kann die Schwenkung der Videokamera durch eine Schaltbox im oder am Armaturenbrett gesteuert werden, sodaß sie manuell geschwenkt werden kann. Die Kleinkamera kann links - rechts und umgekehrt bzw. wem notwendig auch auf- und abwärts geschwenkt werden, sodaß ein besonders großer Blickwinkel ermöglicht wird.Nevertheless, the pivoting of the video camera can be controlled by a switch box in or on the dashboard, so that it can be pivoted manually. The small camera can be swiveled left and right and vice versa or, if necessary, up and down, so that a particularly large viewing angle is possible.
Besonders vorteilhaft für die nachträgliche Rekonstruierung von Unfallhergängan wird die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dadurch, daß die Videokamera ihre Bildsignale an eine Anlage zur digitalen Bildverarbeitung und einen Eimerkettenspeicher liefert. Durch diese zusätzliche Sicherheitserweiterung werden die Bilder nach digitaler Verarbeitung über den "Eimerkettenspeicher" auf einem vorzugsweise magnetischen Bildspeicher auf Computerbasis aufgezeichnet, wobei vorhandene Bordcomputer dazu verwendet werden können. Auch können hier ständig alle Borddaten wie Geschwindigkeit, Uhrzeit, Vollbremsung, Verzögerung, etc. eingeblendet und aufgezeichnet werden. Dies funktioniert ähnlich der sogenannten "Black Box", die bereits in Erprobung ist. jedoch nur technische Daten von diversen Sensoren abspeichert, welche unbedingt von einem Sachverständigen interpretiert werden müssen.The device according to the invention is particularly advantageous for the subsequent reconstruction of accident events in that the video camera delivers its image signals to a system for digital image processing and a bucket chain memory. With this additional security enhancement, the images are digitally processed via the " bucket chain storage " recorded on a preferably magnetic image memory on a computer basis, wherein existing on-board computers can be used for this. All on-board data such as speed, time, full braking, deceleration, etc. can also be continuously displayed and recorded here. This works similar to the so-called " Black Box " which is already being tested. but only stores technical data from various sensors, which must be interpreted by an expert.
Vorteilhafterweise ist ein Aufprallschalter vorgesehen und mit einer Schaltung verbunden, die das kontinuierliche Überschreiben der Aufzeichnungen im Speicher beendet. So ist es möglich, daß die Aufzeichnung der Bildinformation von einer Zeitspanne von z.B. 30 Sekunden vor bis 15 Sekunden nach einem Aufprallereignis aufgezeichnet wird.An impact switch is advantageously provided and connected to a circuit which ends the continuous overwriting of the records in the memory. So it is possible that the recording of the image information from a period of e.g. 30 seconds before to 15 seconds after an impact event is recorded.
In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sollen weitere Merkmale der Erfindung anhand eines Beispiels für ein Automobil unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden. Dabei zeigt die Fig. 1 ein Fahrzeug mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung und Fig. 2 eine Ansicht des Armaturenbrettes des Fahrzeuges der Fig. 1.In the following description, further features of the invention will be explained in more detail using an example of an automobile with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 shows a vehicle with the device according to the invention and FIG. 2 shows a view of the dashboard of the vehicle of FIG. 1.
In der Zeichnung ist in Fig. 1 ein Automobil gezeigt, bei welchem eine beispielhaft über oder in der vorderen Stoßstange des Fahrzeuges eingebaute Kleinstkamera 1 angebracht ist. Diese vorzugsweise in CCD-Technik ausgeführte Kamera ist allenfalls mit einem schwenkbaren Schutzgehäuse ganz oder teilweise umhüllt. Selbstverständlich ist die Anbringung der Kamera aber nicht an den Stoßstangenbereich gebunden, 2In the drawing, an automobile is shown in FIG. 1, in which a miniature camera 1 installed by way of example above or in the front bumper of the vehicle is attached. This camera, which is preferably designed using CCD technology, is at most completely or partially encased with a pivotable protective housing. Of course, the attachment of the camera is not tied to the bumper area, 2
