Intelligent accident warning
system
The intelligent accident-warning system warning at traffic accidents or other
dangers on the road. In each car there is a transmitter, which is coupled with
the airbag and the hazard-warning flasher. On the road, radio controlled guidance
pegs are installed. This warning system is triggered by this car transmitter
and produces a blinking signal, depending on the type of warning. In an accident
with release of the airbags a coded radio signal is sent. All receivers in a
distance of approx. 300 m receive the code and produce an optical signal, warning
the following road users. During release of the hazard-warning flasher an other
code is sent and the receivers activate a different warning pattern. In case
of activation over the airbag, the receiver activates the blinking signal a fixed
time, in case of activation with the hazard-warning flasher, the system blinks
as long as the code is received. We tried to appreciate the cost and could show,
that the costs of the accidents, which could reduced with our system are much
higher than the costs of the installation this alarm system in Austria.
