SAFE STEERING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES, CAPABLE OF PREVENTING VEHICLE ACCIDENTS BY HABITUATING DRIVERS TO A PROPER DRIVING POSTURE

摘要

PURPOSE: A safe steering device for vehicles is provided to habituate drivers to a proper driving posture by actively guiding the drivers to have a proper driving posture and passively warning the drivers who drive at high speeds for a long time with an improper posture to correct the posture.;CONSTITUTION: A safe steering device for vehicles comprises a rim (10), a left hand gripping sensor (21), a right hand gripping sensor (22), a control part (40), a warning part (60), and a switch part (50). The rim includes a left hand gripping bent part and a right hand gripping bent parts which are buried with detection lines (11a, 12a). The left and right hand gripping sensors detect the gripping condition of the left and right hand gripping bent parts using the detection lines and output a gripping signal. The control part outputs a warning control signal if a gripping signal from the left or right hand gripping sensor is not inputted while a predetermined speed signal is inputted from a speedometer (30). The warning part outputs a warning signal when the warning control signal is inputted. The switch part is connected to a space between the control part and the warning part to restrict the warning control signal to be inputted according to user settings.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
