Definitions

  • the invention relates to portable boxes for informing the users of a bus network on the waiting times at the stops of this network, or at least on the waiting times at at least one stop on at least one bus routes belonging to this network.
  • bus here designates not only the buses themselves, but also similar vehicles of urban surface public transport which are subjected to the vagaries of the urban automobile traffic in the same way as the vehicles of the private individuals.
  • This portable box works satisfactorily, as long as the bus drivers have a regular driving, influenced only by the conditions of the urban traffic.
  • a user who has consulted his portable box while the driver is driving slowly will therefore report to the bus stop at the time of arrival initially planned, that is to say after the actual arrival of the bus. , so that this user may then miss the bus.
  • the bus will arrive at its next stop after the arrival time which was initially foreseeable while the driver was driving fast.
  • the present invention aims in particular to overcome these drawbacks.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a line 1 of buses belonging to an urban network, traversed by buses 2 which are represented here by small triangles oriented in the direction of their progression.
  • Line 1 is divided into two routes (i.e. two directions) A and B in opposite directions which each include different stops 3.
  • a central management station 4 collects, by radio or other means, data relating to the position of each bus 2 traveling on each route A or B line 1 and all other lines of the bus network.
  • the central management station 4 works out from these data radio messages which each contain in particular an identification of each bus 2 and data representative of the position of this bus 2, which makes it possible in particular to know the distance d between said bus and next stop 3 on the route followed by this bus.
  • radio messages are transmitted by the central management station 4 and are received in particular by individual portable boxes 10 (FIG. 3) which are in the possession of the users of the bus network.
  • the waiting time for the next bus at the stop selected by the user corresponds to a certain instant H0 initially scheduled for the arrival of this bus at the stop in question.
  • This arrival time initially planned H0 (or any other equivalent datum) is stored in memory 14, as well as the corresponding stop of the bus network, as well as the bus route comprising this stop and the bus line to which this route belongs.
  • the portable unit 10 continues to receive radio messages cyclically from the central management station 4.
  • the microprocessor 15 selects those relating to the bus stop 3 previously stored, that is to say the bus stop which was selected by the user during his last interrogation of the box. 10.
  • the microprocessor 15 cyclically recalculates an updated arrival time H provided for the next bus 2 at the stop 3 considered.
  • the microprocessor 15 actuates the loudspeaker 19 so as to emit an audible signal which warns the user that he must consult again the screen 16 of the housing 10.
  • the microprocessor 15 also controls the operation of the screen 16 and displays on this screen the current waiting time of the next bus 2 at the stop 3 considered, and / or the expected arrival time H of this next bus: thus, the user does not have to manipulate the keyboard 17 to check the updated waiting time of the next bus.
  • This limit may possibly be different depending on whether H is before or after H0.
  • the microprocessor 15 emits an audible signal by the loudspeaker 19, and it can also cause for example the display on the screen 16 of the waiting time T currently estimated for the next bus to the desired stop 3, that is, in the example considered, 5 min.
  • This display is of course accompanied by sufficient explanatory data indicating for example to the user that the next bus to arrive at the desired stop 3 will be ahead of schedule and that it will arrive in 5 minutes.
  • the microprocessor 15 uses the same example as above, if at 12:20 p.m., the microprocessor 15 considers that H is always equal to 10:30 a.m., then it does not trigger the operation of the loudspeaker 19 and the screen 16.
  • the microprocessor 15 then causes an audible signal to be emitted by the speaker 19 and it simultaneously causes the display on the screen 16 of the waiting time T currently estimated for the next bus at the desired stop 3, that is, in the example considered, 3 min.
