ROAD-TRAFFIC WARNING SYSTEM FOR INCREASING USER SAFETY

Abstract

The claimed group of inventions relates to protective clothing with luminous safety means, and also to visual warning devices mounted on vehicles to indicate the dimensions of the vehicles or of parts thereof and to supply warning lights for other vehicles, and can be used for supplying warning lights on kit for special services and children's clothing. The invention comprises luminous elements which replicate signals of standard visual warning devices of a vehicle, wherein the elements are equipped with fastening devices for installation/fastening to, and removal from, elements of kit for a driver and elements of transport vehicles, wherein the power supply and control of the elements is carried out from unit 2 (a device for controlling the luminous elements) which receives control signals from unit 1, which is fitted into the electrical system of warning lights of body-free transport vehicles.

Claims

2. The road transport signaling system for enhancing safety for the users of a child's age group according to claim 1, wherein, in Unit 2, an electronic chip is installed instead of a radio receiving system, the electronic chip having programmed options for glowing its own light elements placed on children's clothing and/or backpack, the electronic chip being used to control the light elements in such a way that the user turns on Unit 2 by using the remote button of the set, the remote button being used to select an operational mode of the set.

3. A method of operating a road transport signaling system to enhance safety for users of bodyless vehicles and special services, comprising supplying power to an input of a transmission line (wireless, consisting of a transmitter and receiver, or wired (without a radio transmitting device)) when turning on an ignition of a bodyless vehicle and automatically triggering the system, wherein a current state signal of signal lights is next fed from an electric/electronic circuit of the bodyless vehicle, and the transmission line transmits the signal to a control device for signal elements (Unit 2), which is turned on by a remote button installed on equipment or on Unit 3, and wherein according to the incoming signals of the vehicle, the control device for the signal elements synchronously turns on, turns off or changes a brightness of corresponding light elements, the light elements responsible for parking/running lights being constantly on and powered by Unit 2.
