Description:
RECIPE VEHICLE WARNING SYSTEM Technical Area The invention relates to a vehicle warning system used in motor vehicles in the 5 automotive sector. In particular, the invention relates to a vehicle warning system for road vehicles, in particular buses, minibuses, midibuses, trucks and lorries carrying freight and passengers on highways, which allows warning strips to be projected on the road to warn other drivers about right, left or reverse maneuvers, following distance and the presence of pedestrians 10 on the road. Prior art Vehicles carrying freight and passengers on highways differ from passenger cars due to vehicle characteristics, difficult working conditions and various factors related to these conditions. The size and weight of the vehicle used can increase the risk of loss of life in 15 the event of an accident and increase the severity of other related negative consequences. For this reason, vehicles carrying freight and passengers on highways are important in terms of traffic safety. In the use of vehicles carrying freight and passengers on highways, there are many factors that have an impact on the driving of these vehicle drivers in terms of traffic safety. 20 These factors include demographic factors, working conditions, driver fatigue, alcohol and substance use, physical conditions and ergonomics, physical health and psychological factors. For this reason, vehicles, which depend only on the driver's reflexes and attention, need systems that will protect and facilitate human life. In the prior art, there are systems to warn drivers of vehicles carrying goods and 25 passengers on highways with speed limit warning systems and sleep warning detection systems. These systems warn the driver when the speed of the vehicle exceeds a certain limit. Sleep warning systems, on the other hand, receive instantaneous data from the driver while driving and warn the driver with inferences about the driver's driving fitness. However, these systems are only focused on increasing the attention of the driver of the 30 vehicle and cannot warn the drivers of the surrounding vehicles. For example, it is not possible to warn other vehicles when vehicles carrying freight and passengers on highways stop or maneuver. Therefore, in the prior art, there is a need for a system that provides warning of surrounding vehicles for traffic safety. An example of the prior art in the literature is the document numbered TR2018/20453. 5 The said document relates to a vehicle warning system. In the invention in question, a vehicle warning system is mentioned, which enables a passenger to be paired with a vehicle and a location where the passenger will get on or off the vehicle is determined and a warning is made to other vehicles around the vehicle that will stop through a communication established between the vehicle and the vehicle, the vehicle and the 10 passenger and the vehicle and the server. In the said warning system, the vehicle and the vehicle, the vehicle and the passenger and the vehicle and the server are enabled to establish a communication through an electronic device on the vehicle, a system administrator with a server connection or through an interface provided by an electronic device in the hands of the passenger is enabled to enter the locations where the 15 passenger will travel, and according to the travel information entered, a vehicle is matched with a vehicle and a vehicle is matched with a vehicle, and a vehicle generates a vehicle stop information at the locations where the matched vehicle should pick up and drop off the passenger, and it is shared with other vehicles with which it communicates. In the invention in question, a system that provides information sharing over the 20 communication network has been put forward. As a result, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of existing solutions necessitated a development in the relevant technical field. Purpose of Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle warning system which eliminates the above- 25 mentioned disadvantages and brings new advantages to the relevant technical field. The main purpose of the invention is to provide a vehicle warning system for road vehicles, in particular buses, minibuses, midibuses, trucks and lorries carrying freight and passengers on highways, to warn other drivers by projecting warning strips on the road for right, left or reverse maneuvers, following distance and the presence of pedestrians 30 on the road. The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle warning system that enables the drivers of other vehicles in the vicinity to be warned of the presence of pedestrians on the road by means of sensors on the vehicle carrying cargo and passengers on highways. Another object of the invention is to provide a vehicle warning system that enables the 5 drivers of other vehicles in the vicinity to be warned according to the following distance protection position with the detection made with sensors on the vehicle carrying cargo and passengers on the highways. Another object of the invention is to provide a vehicle warning system that enables the drivers of other vehicles in the vicinity to be warned of the right, left or reverse 10 maneuvering of the vehicle with the detection made by sensors on the vehicle carrying cargo and passengers on the highways. The invention is a vehicle warning system used in motor vehicles in the automotive sector in order to fulfill all the purposes that may arise from the above-mentioned and detailed description, comprising: 15 - a motion sensor located on a first vehicle carrying goods and passengers on highways and detecting movement in the environment while the first vehicle is in motion, - a distance sensor located on a first vehicle carrying freight and passengers on highways and detecting the distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle traveling behind the first vehicle while the first vehicle is in motion, 20 - a headlight sensor located on a first vehicle carrying freight and passengers on highways and detecting the right and left turn signal warning, reverse maneuver signal warning of the first vehicle, - a speed sensor located on a first vehicle carrying goods and passengers on highways and detecting the speed of the first vehicle during travel, 25 - control unit that processes data from the motion sensor, distance sensor, headlight sensor and speed sensor, - the LED module for warning a second vehicle and/or pedestrians traveling on the same road by projecting warning strip, warning information, blind spot information, following distance or speed information on the road from the first vehicle according to 30 data from the control unit.

Second vehicle Detailed Description of the Invention In this detailed description, preferred alternatives to the vehicle warning system of the invention are described solely for the purpose of a better understanding of the subject matter and without limiting effect. 5 Figure 1 shows a representative view of the vehicle warning system subject to the invention. Accordingly, the vehicle warning system is in its most basic form; motion sensor (10) located on the first vehicle (A) carrying cargo and passengers on highways and detecting the movement in the surroundings while the first vehicle (A) is traveling, distance sensor (20) located on the first vehicle (A) carrying cargo and passengers on 10 highways and detecting the distance between the first vehicle (A) and the second vehicle (B) traveling behind while the first vehicle (A) is traveling, headlight sensor (30) located on the first vehicle (A) carrying goods and passengers on highways and detecting the right and left turn signal warning, reverse maneuver signal warning of the first vehicle (A), a speed sensor (40) on a first vehicle (A) carrying goods and passengers on highways 15 and detecting the speed of the first vehicle (A) during travel, a control unit (50) processing data from said motion sensor (10), distance sensor (20), headlight sensor (30) and speed sensor (40), LED module (60) for warning a second vehicle (B) and/or pedestrians traveling on the same road by projecting warning strip, warning information, blind spot information, following distance or speed information on the road from the first vehicle (A) 20 according to the data received from the control unit (50). On a first vehicle (A), such as a bus, minibus, midibus, truck, lorry carrying goods and passengers on highways, a motion sensor (10), a distance sensor (20), a headlight sensor (30) and a speed sensor (40) are preferably mounted on the corners of said first vehicle (A) and are capable of rotating 270°. 25 The motion sensor (10) detects movement in the surroundings while the first vehicle (A) is in motion. The distance sensor (20) detects the distance between the first vehicle (A) and the second vehicle (B) traveling behind it. The headlight sensor (30) detects the right and left turn signal indication and the reversing 30 signal indication of the first vehicle (A). The speed sensor (40) detects the speed of the first vehicle (A) during travel. The data from the motion sensor (10), distance sensor (20), headlight sensor (30) and speed sensor (40) are transmitted to the control unit (50) located in the first vehicle (A) and processed in the said control unit (50). In order to warn a second vehicle (B) on the same road with the first vehicle (A) according 5 to the data transmitted from the control unit (50), an LED module (60) is placed on the front and/or rear right and left pillars and/or on the front and rear center sections according to the cabin height of the first vehicle (A). Said LED module (60) is capable of rotating 180°. The LED module (60), according to the data received from the control unit (50), projects 10 warning lane, warning information, blind spot, following distance or speed information on the road from the first vehicle (A) to warn a second vehicle (B) and/or pedestrians traveling on the same road. The working principle of the vehicle warning system subject to the invention is as follows; When the first vehicle (A) is traveling, the motion sensor (10) detects the movement 15 around the first vehicle (A) and transmits this data to the control unit (50). In case there are pedestrians on the road, the control unit (50) processes the data received from the motion sensor (10) and transmits data to the LED module (60). As shown in Figure 2, the LED module (60) projects a warning strip on the road from the first vehicle (A) to warn a second vehicle (B) traveling on the same road. Thus, a pedestrian passing in front of the 20 first vehicle (A) is recognized by the driver of the second vehicle (B), thus preventing pedestrian and traffic safety risks, especially on urban roads. While the first vehicle (A) is traveling, the distance sensor (20) detects the distance between the first vehicle (A) and the second vehicle (B) traveling behind and transmits this data to the control unit (50). The control unit (50) processes the data received from 25 the distance sensor (20) and transmits the data to the LED module (60). The LED module (60), as shown in Figure 3, projects the following distance information on the road from the first vehicle (A) and warns the driver of the second vehicle (B) in bad weather conditions when visibility is reduced during travel. Similarly, while the first vehicle (A) is traveling, the speed sensor (40) detects the speed of the first vehicle (A) and transmits 30 this data to the control unit (50). The control unit (50) processes the data received from the distance sensor (20) and transmits the data to the LED module (60). The LED module (60), again as shown in Figure 3, projects the speed information of the first vehicle (A) on the road from the first vehicle (A) to warn the driver of the second vehicle (B) following closely behind. While the first vehicle (A) is in motion, the headlight sensor (30) detects the right and left turn signal warning and the reverse maneuver signal warning of the first vehicle (A) and 5 this data is transmitted to the control unit (50). The control unit (50) processes the data received from the headlight sensor (30) and transmits it to the LED module (60). As shown in Figures 4a, 4b and 4c, the LED module (60) projects blind spot information on the road over the first vehicle (A). Thus, drivers of the second vehicle (B) and pedestrians are warned, especially on urban roads. 10 In an alternative embodiment of the invention, movement around the first vehicle (A) can be detected by the motion sensor (10) and a warning information can be projected by means of the LED module (60) to a second vehicle (B) wishing to overtake the first vehicle (A) to indicate that the road is clear. 15
