A TRAFFIC SAFETY SYSTEM

Technical Field

The present invention refers to a traffic safety system that makes the driver placed on vehicles and driving the car adhere to the traffic rules.

Prior Art

Today, millions of vehicles depending on the increasing number of vehicles enter into service per day. As the traffic is so intense and vehicle drivers begin to drive car without proper training, traffic rules are often violated. Traffic accidents occur as a result of violation of the traffic rules. As well as such accidents may result in property damage, they cause loss of life. Also, because of accidents, the roads may be closed to the traffic, this situation causes that the other vehicle drivers are late for where they wish to go. In order to avoid accidents, traffic police perform their duties. However, as it is not possible to place the traffic police everywhere most of the time in the absence of traffic policemen, traffic rules are being violated by drivers.

In 2007/06018 numbered Turkish patent document a speed-controlled traffic flow system is discussed. With the mentioned system, all traffic flows in a residential area are monitored, in density regions the clogging of traffic prevented and without any congestion flow of the traffic operation is provided without hesitation at highest possible speed, and the standard of regional traffic flow rate is taken.

In 2008/07846 numbered Turkish patent document a system to prevent traffic accidents is mentioned. In the inventive system, as a result of the vehicle's location and speed information are obtained on traffic with the data from satellite-based positioning systems, the location information is compared to the information of dangerous point or coordinate of the regions having the risk of accident on the route installed on the system's data base. In European patent document No. EP2052375 a traffic information system and method is mentioned. In the aforementioned method, at least one ring coil on a road ^ transmits a signal having sign of the electric change induced by vehicle on the ring coil. At least one ring determination device established on the main line of the road or in a security area receives the signal transmitted from the ring coil and transmits wirelessly if there exists a vehicle on the road, and a signal indicative of the vehicle speed and the type.

Detailed Description of the Invention

To attain the objects of the present invention "Traffic Safety System" is shown on attached figure, and this figure is: Figure 1 - a schematic view of traffic safety system.

Elements shown in the Figures are numbered one by one and, for these numbers are given below.

1 Traffic safety system

2 The control unit

3 cameras

4 The distance sensor

T: label

CM: control point / traffic safety centre

Traffic security system (1) of the present invention comprises in the most basic form;

at least one control unit (2), providing the appropriate reading of driving conditions in the tags (tag) (T) on traffic signs placed in the vehicle and located on the roads, at least one camera (3) to shoot entering into operation in the event that driver does not comply with the information in the traffic signs and placed in the vehicle; at least one proximity sensor (4) placed on the vehicle and providing measurement of the distance from the vehicle ahead while driving and transmitting the measurement-related data to the control unit (2).

The control unit (2) located on related traffic security system (1) reads the information such as the speed limit required for driving, making overtaking/ or not from tags (T) on the traffic signs on the road. If the driver uses the vehicle in accordance with the information, the control unit does not perform any operation. If the driver does not comply with the information in the traffic signs, the control unit warns the driver by voice and / or visually for a predetermined period of time. When the said time period is over, the control unit (2) activates the cameras (3) and provides the cameras (3) to record the rule violations. The referred camera records are recorded on the control unit (2). The control unit (2) also transmits the recorded information to the closest traffic security centre (CM) via any connection canal.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention the control unit (2) is encrypted by using vehicle chassis and engine numbers. The control unit (2) is not opened and tampered by anyone other one than authorized persons. If there is an external interference to the control unit (2), the control unit (2) provides the determination of the vehicle's location by giving GPS signal. The cameras (3) in the traffic control system (1) of the invention are opened by the control unit (2) to be proportional to the speed of the vehicle. So, Who is responsible for damage to the vehicle as a result of the accident, the place and time of the accident of the vehicle, which vehicle had accident can be detected. In this way, there is no need of insurance companies for the positions available in the expert.

In one embodiment of the invention the control unit (2) is activated by a driver's license with chip and so the vehicle operates. In this way, license query of the driver of vehicle may be carried out without stopping the vehicle. Also in this way, driving without license may be avoided. Also thanks to chip driver's license; as a result of arrest warrant and the search of the driver of vehicle, the control unit (2) reports this to the control point and it is provided the arrest of the driver in a short time.

In one embodiment of the invention at least one finger print unit attached to the control unit is available in the vehicle (2). For operation of the vehicle the driver must screen its fingerprint to the finger unit. By screening the fingerprint the control unit (2) transmits the information of fingerprint to the control point. In this way, license query of the driver of vehicle may be carried out without stopping the vehicle. At the same time the use of fingerprint car without a license may be avoided. Also thanks to chip driver's license; as a result of arrest warrant and the search of the driver of vehicle, the control unit (2) reports this to the control point and it is provided the arrest of the driver in a short time. In one embodiment of the invention the traffic security system (1) includes at least one sensor placed in exhaust manifold and that provides the measurement of exhaust emulsion and transmit the measurement data to the control unit (2) (shown in the drawings). So, at any desired time the measurement of carbon released into the environment by the vehicle may be performed without the need to examine.

In one embodiment of the invention the traffic security system (1) includes at least one particle sensor placed in exhaust manifold and provides to determine whether the fuel used in the vehicle complies with the standards and to transmit related data to the control unit (2). If it is detected that the used fuel does not comply with the standards thanks to referred particle sensor, making legal action on the vehicle's fuel station leakage of fuel is prevented.

In one embodiment of the invention the traffic security system (1) includes at least at least one sensor providing to determine of reactions with sensitive sensor that measures the driver's breath in the vehicle in the driver's cab, and transmit the related data to the control unit (2). The referred sensor determines if the driver is alcoholic or not from the breath and transmit the related data to the control unit (2). The control unit (2) transmits the information to the traffic security enter (CM) and avoid the driver to drive the vehicle.

Thanks to the control unit (2) in the traffic security system (1) of the invention, if the vehicle is stolen, when the vehicle pass through any control point, thanks to the hosts on the checkpoint with chassis or engine number or plate number information exchange is provided between control unit (2) and host computers. In this way, almost all units against any adverse condition and checkpoints are informed and as soon as the vehicle is caught.

The control unit (2) placed in referred traffic security system (1) are cleaned in the centres at regular intervals as long as the car is on owner and this information is stored on digital environment as long as the vehicle is on traffic. In one embodiment of the invention, one person who rides the car provides the transmission of the information on the control unit (2) to the control point by matching the control unit (2) via a mobile phone with GPS feature. The development of various embodiment of the traffic security system (1) of the invention is possible, the invention may not limited to mentioned examples hereof, is essentially as referred in the claims.
