    摘要: Systems and methods for deploying warning devices for a vehicle. The vehicle can be an autonomous vehicle. A method of deploying warning devices for a vehicle includes deploying one or more warning devices from the vehicle, the one or more warning devices being coupled to a deployment vehicle. Deploying the one or more warning devices includes controlling the deployment vehicle. A system for deploying warning devices for a vehicle includes a deployment vehicle and one or more warning devices coupled to the deployment vehicle. The system includes a controller configured to deploy the one or more warning devices from the vehicle. Deploying the one or more warning devices includes the controller configured to control the deployment vehicle.

    摘要: A method is described for deploying one or more illumination devices. The or each illumination device is self-contained and has a first state in which it is inoperative and a second state in which it is operative to provide illumination at at least one frequency within the range from and including infrared to and including ultraviolet. The method comprises the steps, optionally repeated at intervals, of: actuating a mechanism to move a said illumination device from a housing storing one or more illumination devices to an exposed position outside the housing; and automatically changing the state of the illumination device from its first state to its second state as a direct result of movement of the illumination device from within the housing to the exposed position.

    摘要: A warning structure includes a bracket and a warning member mounted on the bracket. The bracket includes a main body, rollers rotationally mounted to the main body, and a stopping assembly including a support member, a mounting member, and a resilient member. The support member is coupled to the main body. The mounting member is movably mounted to the support member. The rollers are mounted to the mounting member and the main body. The resilient member elastically resists the support member and the mounting member to bias the mounting member. When the support member is subjected to a downward force, the support member abuts against a ground to keep the bracket stationary.

    摘要: Systems and methods are directed to deploying warning devices by an autonomous vehicle. In one example, a system includes one or more processors and memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include obtaining data indicating that a vehicle stop maneuver is to be implemented for an autonomous vehicle. The operations further include determining whether one or more warning devices should be dispensed from the autonomous vehicle during the vehicle stop maneuver based in part on the obtained data. The operations further include, in response to determining one or more warning devices should be dispensed from the autonomous vehicle, determining a dispensing maneuver for the one or more warning devices, and providing one or more command signals to one or more vehicle systems to perform the dispensing maneuver for the one or more warning devices.

    摘要: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicle apparatuses are provided. The method includes receiving, via an interface of the V2X enabled safety triangle warning reflector, vehicle information before deployment for storing the vehicle information in a memory disposed locally at the V2X enabled safety triangle warning reflector for subsequent use at the deployment; generating, by a processor chip in communication with the memory, a failure message associated with the vehicle failure based at least on the vehicle information contained locally in memory; and broadcasting, the failure message generated by the processor chip via a transmitter disposed of in the V2X enable safety triangle warning reflector during a vehicle failure, wherein the failure message is broadcasted in a surrounding area of the failure vehicle on a set of multiple different channels including cloud, infrastructure and personal communication service (PCS) channels to entities that provide traffic and vehicle control.

    摘要: The invention discloses an ejection type safety warning sign for car, having a polyhedral structure for suppressing tumbling in a free state, capable of being restrained into tubular storage state by external force, and automatically releasing as polyhedral structure when external force disappears; polyhedral structure having warning marker on surface. A ejection system comprises: warning sign; launch tube having inner cavity for accommodating warning sign in tubular storage state; pressure tank communicated with end of launch tube; solenoid valve disposed between launch tube and pressure tank; controller connected to solenoid valve; launch tube having piston for pushing warning sign. When sudden situation occurs during driving, driver can press ejection button of warning sign while braking, so that warning sign can be ejected and stays near position of braking. Location of warning sign is at distance from position parking, eliminating take warning sign, promptly alerting rear car, reducing rear-end accidents.

    摘要: An illuminated vehicle distress sign is disclosed herein. The illuminated vehicle distress sign includes an emergency signal device comprising a vehicle window attachment. The vehicle window attachment has a first shaft hingedly attached thereto and a second shaft hingedly attached to the first shaft which supports a rigid signaling placard at the distal end thereof. Additionally, the signaling placard includes a plurality of battery powered and multi-colored LED's disposed on the peripheral edges of the front and back faces thereof. Furthermore, the signaling placard may be provided in the form of a square or in the shape of a hand. Additionally, the LEDs disposed on the placard may be mounted in a configuration to form the word “HELP”. Other configurations and other sizes may be used.
