Definitions
- the invention relates to an automatic control of a direction indicator of a vehicle according to the independent claims.
- Direction indicators are manually controlled by the driver on the majority of vehicles by shift or turn signal levers.
- a deactivation of a continuous turn signal is usually carried out in that the steering wheel is rotated sufficiently far against the direction indicated by the turn signal direction, for example, when driving straight after a turn maneuver again.
- the turn signal can also be deactivated manually by the driver by appropriate operation of the turn signal lever.
- Modern controls for direction indicator also allow a time-limited activation of the turn signal, which is especially intended for lane changes.
- the driver must operate the turn signal lever only so far that it does not engage in the normal flashing position to activate the time-limited turn signal. After a predetermined period of time, usually after a few seconds then the turn signal is automatically disabled.
- the object of the present invention is now to further improve such an automatic control of a direction indicator of a vehicle.
- This object is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims. Further embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
- the per se known and initially explained time-limited activation of a turn signal has the disadvantage that it can not be easily deactivated before the expiry of the predetermined period of time. If, for example, a driver opts for a lane change after activation of the time-limited turn signal, the turn signal remains activated, which can be confusing for other road users.
- a function in the automatic control of a turn indicator which ensures that an activated, time-limited turn signal of a turn indicator is controlled in response to the rotation of the steering wheel detected via a steering wheel rotation angle sensor becomes.
- An embodiment of the invention now relates to methods for automatically controlling a direction indicator of a vehicle, comprising the steps of: receiving a signal for time-limited activation of the direction indicator, time-limited activation of the direction indicator after receiving the signal for time-limited activation of the direction indicator, starting a timer for Measurement interval after receiving the signal to temporarily activate the direction indicator, checking a steering angle measurement signal during the measurement interval, and deactivating the direction indicator depending on the checking of the steering angle measurement signal.
- the steering angle measurement signal signals a steering movement opposite to the received signal for the time-limited activation of the direction indicator, and a deactivation signal is generated when it is determined that an opposite steering movement is signaled.
- the time-limited flashing signal can be switched off again by "counter-steering", for example when a lane change is aborted by the driver or when a lane change has taken place and the vehicle is steered straight again Alternatively or additionally, it can be checked during the measurement interval whether within a predetermined period of time after starting the timer for the measurement interval, the steering angle measurement signal is signaled corresponding to the signal received for the time-limited activation of the direction indicator steering movement, and a deactivation signal is generated if it is determined within the predetermined period that none
- a time-limited flashing signal is again automatically deactivated early in the event of a missing lane change, for example for automatically controlling a direction indicator of a vehicle with a first timer for temporarily activating the direction indicator after receiving a signal for time-limited activation of the direction indicator, a second timer for starting a measurement interval after receiving the signal for temporary activation of the direction indicator, means for checking a Steering angle measurement signal during the measurement interval and for
- the means for checking may be configured during the Checking measuring interval, if after starting the second timer, the steering angle measurement signal signals a signal opposite to the received signal for timely activation of the turn signal steering movement, and to generate the deactivation signal, when it is determined that an opposite steering movement is signaled.
- the means for checking may also be configured to check during the measurement interval whether, within a predetermined period of time after the start of the second timer for the measurement interval, the steering angle measurement signal is signaled a steering movement corresponding to the signal received for the time-limited activation of the direction indicator, and generate the deactivation signal if it is determined within the predetermined period that no corresponding steering movement is signaled.
- FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for automatically controlling a direction indicator of a vehicle according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a device for automatically controlling a direction indicator of a vehicle according to the invention.
- identical, functionally identical and functionally connected elements may be provided with the same reference numerals. Absolute values are given below by way of example only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of an algorithm that implements the inventive method for automatically controlling a direction indicator of a vehicle and can be executed, for example, by a controller of a direction indicator controller to generate control signals for the direction indicators, in particular automatically a deactivation signal of a vehicle set blinker, as explained in detail below.
- a signal is received for the time-limited activation of a turn signal, for example for a change to a left lane.
- the received signal is generated, for example, manually by a driver by briefly tapping the turn signal lever that activates the desired turn signal.
- a timer is then started, which runs for a predetermined period of time for the activation of the turn signal.
- This sequence corresponds to the known and initially mentioned time-limited turn signal activation.
- a timer for a measuring interval is now started in a step S14.
- the measuring interval can for example, shorter than the above-mentioned predetermined blinking time period and sized to be slightly longer than a typical mean of the deceleration that occurs in a lane change until a corresponding steering movement is performed by the driver to initiate the lane change, which can be a measurement interval also correspond approximately to the given flash duration.
- a steering angle measurement signal generated, for example, by a steering wheel rotation angle sensor is checked in a step S16 to see if it meets one or more deactivation criteria for deactivating the set turn signal.
- a deactivation criterion may be, for example, that after starting the timer for the measurement interval to the received signal for timely activation of a turn signal opposite steering movement is signaled by the steering angle measurement signal, so if the left turn signal was activated for a limited time, but the steering angle measurement signal Steering movement signaled to the right. It can be assumed that a driver breaks off the lane change by the opposite steering movement and therefore further flashing is no longer necessary.
- a deactivation criterion may also be, for example, that within a predetermined period of time, for example a few seconds after the start of the timer for the measurement interval, no steering movement corresponding to the received signal for the time-limited activation of a turn signal is signaled by the steering angle measurement signal, ie if the left turn signal has been activated for a limited time, but the steering angle signal signaled no steering movement to the left within a few seconds after the start of the measurement interval timer. In this case, it can be assumed that a driver does not want to or can not make a lane change and therefore further flashing is no longer necessary. If it is determined in step S16 that a deactivation criterion is fulfilled as explained above, the procedure continues with step S18 already described above and a turn signal deactivation signal for switching off the set left turn signal is generated and output.
- this method can also be applied to the right turn signal, if e.g. on the highway an originally planned lane change to the right side / to a right-lying lane aborted or not executed.
- Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of an apparatus for automatically controlling a direction indicator of a vehicle with a first timer 10 for temporarily activating the direction indicator after receiving a corresponding signal 12 by briefly tapping a turn signal lever 13 to activate the left or right turn signal 14 of a Vehicle is generated. Furthermore, a second timer 1 6 is provided for starting a measuring interval, which is also the signal 12 generated by tapping the turn signal lever 13 is supplied. The second timer 16 generates when starting and stopping the measuring interval, a corresponding start or stop signal, which is supplied to a controller 18 for the turn signal control.
- the controller 18 for a program implementing an algorithm according to the method described above and with the steps shown in FIG.
- the signal 12 and a steering angle measuring signal 20 are supplied, which is generated by a steering wheel rotation angle sensor 21 and outputted and reflects a steering movement of the driver. If the program executed by the controller 18 determines that during the current measurement interval the steering angle measurement signal 20 fulfills a deactivation criterion for the turn signal (corresponding to the above description of the method with the steps shown in FIG. 1), the controller 18 generates a turn signal deactivation signal 22, which is supplied to the turn signal 14 and leads to deactivation or deactivation of the set turn signal.
- a turn signal deactivation signal 22 which is supplied to the turn signal 14 and leads to deactivation or deactivation of the set turn signal.
