Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for determining travel times of motor vehicles according to the preamble of the claim 1. Determining the presence of motor vehicles at certain points of a traffic route or also theirs Movement over these points plays a role in road traffic technology in a variety of different use cases a crucial role.
- the used Methods are adapted to the respective application.
- Such measurements are a special case of this area of application with light signal systems controlled as required, under Under certain circumstances, such traffic light systems, their signal program depending on the traffic density on the confluence Traffic routes is controlled.
- Another special case are measurements of traffic load, which may also be only be carried out temporarily in order to be generally reliable To get values about the traffic volume, e.g. B. be used as a basis for traffic planning.
- transponder cards are often used as The transponder card is stimulated at one measuring point by an inductive field to modulate this field.
- the modulated field is received and evaluated by an evaluation device.
- transponder cards have long been in different Form known for different applications.
- simple Execution as in the example cited, are given by transponder cards on inductive excitation no more than a predetermined response signal.
- This response signal can be completely uncoded and only activated in one receiver an acoustic warning signal or at best contains one Identification code. In the example cited this is only indicated that the response signal z.
- Identification enable a motor vehicle at a toll booth should.
- From US-A-5 804 810 is an example of a much more complex one Known solution to objects to be monitored that are transported in vehicles, for example Attach and use transponder card. So that's it possible, the marked object by means of electronic Transmitting / receiving devices also in moving motor vehicles to pursue on its way.
- the transponder cards in this case a relatively complex electronic circuit with a transmitting and receiving part and a microprocessor consisting of a microcontroller and connected storage device. These transponder cards are able to perform more extensive functions when activated.
- the transponder cards equipped with a GPS module GPS module his. This is the exact position of a transponder card document the assigned object.
- the microprocessor is equipped with a peripheral interface, which is also used for data entry to update the Memory content of the transponder card is provided. Consequently is a bidirectional communication of a querying unit with the individual transponder cards in particular Larger scope possible if the latter additionally transmit / receive devices for infrared connections over shorter Distances as well as for radio connections over larger distances have.
- the example shows that the possibilities modern circuit technology even complex structures Have transponder cards implemented. Inevitable but with increasing complexity it takes the transponder card integrated circuit also the weight and format of the Card too. This is mainly because of the corresponding to the circuit adaptable power supply.
- Travel time is one of the fundamental parameters in traffic engineering, it is defined as the travel time between two locations on a route is a route-related Size. You can e.g. B as an input variable for traffic control procedures used or also used to get current out of it and the most accurate information possible about traffic flows to derive. With the importance of this size for traffic engineering it is natural that there are already a multitude of proposals became known the problem one on a current Traffic situation sufficiently precisely related travel time determination to solve.
- the known methods which are designed to determine actual travel times, are based on route-related data acquisition.
- route-related data acquisition There are two possible approaches.
- One of these approaches is as Floating car "method is known. Individual vehicles are used, which are individually equipped with special measuring and transmission devices. Depending on the equipment of the on-board system, the cruising speed or travel time on individual sections of the route are calculated in the motor vehicle. The results are transmitted to a central unit The traffic data received from the individual motor vehicles is aggregated there, and the higher the current number of these individually equipped vehicles on the route, the higher the quality of the travel times determined in this way.
- a second group of known systems respectively By contrast, the procedure for determining travel times is based on a preferably fixed, local data acquisition, which, for. B. is executed via loop detectors. Using feature vectors an attempt is made to type the passing vehicles to describe and sufficiently significant data for to win a bunch of vehicles. This data is sent to the next measuring point downstream in the direction of traffic transfer. There is now an attempt to determine the arrival time of the Vehicle groups by correlating the transmitted with the local measured data.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object a system for determining travel times of motor vehicles of the type mentioned to create that with as much as possible simple means reliable but still so significant Vehicle description provides that travel times are more individual Motor vehicles on a route section with a sufficient Number of measurements with reasonable effort and are still to be recorded safely.
- transponder cards in connection with the facilities that activate and read them out, is available with a wide range.
- the transponder card is also a means that, among other things, already has been proposed for use in the motor vehicle if the practical application only begins sporadically.
- existing specialist knowledge enables inexpensive and in terms of their dimensions and energy consumption to produce optimized transponder cards, on the other hand vehicle owners are becoming more familiar with this medium.
- transponder cards it is particularly advantageous that the system to determine travel times flexibly to a used one Type of transponder cards can be easily adapted. So can use the transponder cards as passive units and accordingly the devices for activating the transponder cards be designed as induction loops, the Only one individual transponder card when activated Enable identification. So this just sets Transponder cards in a very simple embodiment ahead, the inexpensive to manufacture and operate are particularly economical. Such transponder cards are already used as season tickets for users of Toll roads used and could be easily for the further purpose for determining travel times to use. In this application, however, lies a larger share of expenses in the evaluating facilities of the system.
- the one rewritable storage device for temporary storage an identification code for at least the last one passed control point and a time information about the Show the time of passing this checkpoint.
- the evaluation devices at the control points be designed in such a way that it is within reach Transponder cards for sending out in their storage device currently saved data and for temporary storage of your own identification code.
- Active Transponder cards of this type can be used, for example, for the commercial sector of road users of interest to meet its logistics needs for a fleet of To meet motor vehicles. In this case too the determination of the travel time the importance of an additional Function.
- FIG 1 are schematic for one not shown in detail Traffic route two at a defined distance from each other, Control points successive in the direction of traffic K (n-1) and K (n) are shown.
- the inspection bodies are expediently set up at the entrances and exits of the trunk road, but can also in critical sections of the route also be provided in between.
- the motor vehicle 1 drives the same motor vehicle 1 in succession the control points located at a distance a from each other K (n -1) or K (n).
- the motor vehicle 1 is equipped with a transponder card 2.
- the transponder card 2 There is a plurality for the present purpose of embodiments of the transponder card 2 suitable. In the simplest case, it is a purely passive one Transponder card, which is only activated when activated Identification signal, d.
- H. emits a signal based on which the motor vehicle is also individually identifiable. How will still be shown, but it is also advantageous, more complex trained transponder cards 2 to use.
- This Free movement in the design of the transponder card 2 is a major advantage that it z.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the Evaluation device 4 shown, which is based on that in connection with it transponder cards 2 in their simplest Design are used.
- the only system-related Requirements for the properties of the transponder cards 2 in this case is your individual identification option when passing the checkpoints z. B. K (n) by the evaluation device 4.
- This means the evaluation device 4 receives this from an activated transponder card emitted identification signal and sets this in a converter 6 into a further processable identification code TAG ID around.
- the evaluation device 4 is equipped with a clock, e.g. B. equipped with a radio clock 7, so that the time of Receipt of the respective identification code TAG-ID is fixed and linked from the latter to the corresponding time a defined data record 8 is to be formed.
- each record is one Determining the travel time of the motor vehicle 1, although it is not yet possible. For travel time determination it is necessary to match each other, d. H. identified by the same identification code TAG-ID Records 8 of the different, preferably two each consecutive checkpoints in the direction of traffic, e.g. B. K (n - 1) and K (n) correlate and from the time information of the corresponding data records the individual Travel time of the associated motor vehicle 1 on the corresponding one To calculate route section.
- the evaluation device 4 is equipped with a remote data transmission unit 9 equipped by means of which the local prepared data records 8 sequentially as data stream 8 (n) the control point K (n) to the downstream in the traffic direction adjacent control point or its evaluation facility be transmitted. The same goes for the evaluation device 4 (n) via another remote data transmission unit 9 'a data stream 8 (n-1) with corresponding data records the neighboring upstream in the direction of traffic Transfer control point K (n - 1).
- the evaluation device 4 (n) equipped with a processing unit 10.
- FIG 2 is shown schematically that the sequentially occurring Records of these two data streams are cached become.
- the identification codes TAG-ID of the stored Records of both data streams 8 (n - 1) and 8 (n) are checked for agreement.
- the travel time becomes the difference of the time information of the individual vehicle.
- the in the Processing unit 10 are determined travel times either as individual values of anonymous motor vehicles or from time to time as average travel times by the individual Evaluation devices 4 to the central traffic control computer 5 transferred.
- transponder card 2 used in the embodiment shown in FIG.
- the structure the transponder card 2 in this embodiment is only reproduced schematically since it is assumed to be known can be.
- the transponder card 2 is with a microcontroller 21 equipped, for example, connected to it Units run over a bus system 22. Of the units connected to the microcontroller 21 are in Figure 3 only those units specified in the present Use case are of particular interest.
- the converter 24 runs over a Radio modem 25 with the correspondingly configured evaluation device 4 a control point now bidirectional.
