VEHICULAR DRAWING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18053758 titled 'VEHICULAR DRAWING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
A vehicular drawing device is installed in a vehicle to draw an indication display on the road surface using light. The display has a predetermined shape and is drawn in the direction of travel of the vehicle.
- The indication display includes a start-traveling display that is drawn when the vehicle starts traveling.
- When the turn indicator switch is turned on and the direction of travel is changed, a turn indication display is drawn.
- If the turn indicator switch is on at the time of starting traveling, the turn indication display is given priority over the start-traveling display.
Potential Applications
- Road safety: The indication display can provide clear and visible signals to other drivers and pedestrians, improving overall road safety.
- Navigation assistance: The drawn indication display can help guide the driver by providing visual cues for turns and directions.
Problems Solved
- Lack of clear signals: This technology solves the problem of unclear or ambiguous turn signals by providing a visual indication directly on the road surface.
- Driver confusion: The indication display helps prevent confusion among drivers by clearly indicating the intended direction of travel.
Benefits
- Improved safety: The clear and visible indication display helps reduce the risk of accidents by providing a visual signal that is easily understood by other road users.
- Enhanced navigation: The drawn indication display assists the driver in navigating unfamiliar routes or complex intersections, improving overall driving experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicular drawing device is installed in the vehicle and draws, using light, an indication display with a predetermined shape on a road surface in a direction of travel of the vehicle. The indication display includes a start-traveling display drawn at a time of starting traveling and a turn indication display drawn when a turn indicator switch is turned on and the direction of travel is changed. The turn indication display is drawn with priority over the start-traveling display when the turn indicator switch is on at the time of starting traveling.
