Definitions

  • the invention relates to a detection device for detecting persons or objects and their direction of movement, with a sensor arrangement for detecting electromagnetic radiation with the wavelength of visible and / or invisible light, which is reflected or emitted by a person or an object and with an evaluation unit which is connected to the sensor arrangement and is designed to derive a signal from the radiation detected by the radiation sensor arrangement and to emit a detection signal for as far as possible every object or person detected by the radiation sensor arrangement.
  • the invention relates to a counting device for persons, which is connected to a corresponding detection device.
  • detection devices which, with respect to the intended direction of movement of the passengers, have sensor elements arranged one behind the other and determine the direction of movement of detected persons by correlation of the radiation detected by the sensor elements. Such detection devices are thus able to determine not only the presence of an object or a person as in a simple light barrier, but also their direction of movement.
  • One problem is to reliably recognize non-targeted people who are standing in the entrance area of a bus, for example, or to distinguish those originating from different persons in close proximity.
  • a detection device which is able to detect the intensity distribution of a person emanating heat radiation in a matrix-like manner.
  • the US 5,187,688 and US 5,255,301 each show an arrangement of a plurality of sensor elements with which can be determined during runtime measurement of the distance between a respective sensor element and the surface of a person.
  • a detection device of the type mentioned in the introduction which comprises individualizing means which are connected to the evaluation unit and designed to obtain information or information individualizing an object or person and which is connected to a memory which is formed, at least one section the history signal and the object or the person individualizing information as a characteristic parameter associated with the history signal store.

  • the parameter determination means (16, 18.1) comprise a radiation source (16) for radiation detectable by the sensor arrangement (12, 14; 32, 34) and an evaluation module (36.1 ').
  • the radiation sensor arrangement comprises a sensor matrix (32.1) and both the radiation source and the radiation sensor arrangement are connected to the evaluation module.
  • the evaluation module is designed to form from the radiation source (44) a radiation reflected by a person or an object and detected by the sensor matrix (32.1) as an additional signal determining the characteristic parameter and the information individualizing a respective person represents, wherein the matrix corresponds to the three-dimensional surface contour of a detected object or a detected person.
  • the parameter is derived from the history signal and an additional signal.
  • This additional signal is obtained by an additional passive sensor and derived from an active radiation source.
  • the parameter is multi-dimensional, ie a matrix with several values, which in particular individualize a person.
  • the invention is based on the idea of combining in a manner known per se a passively obtainable progress signal with at least one characteristic parameter, so that an at least two-dimensional signal or parameter matrix results, which includes information about the time course of the radiation detected by the sensor arrangement additional information combined.

  • the characteristic parameter describes a person-individual parameter, such as hair color, size, stature, etc.
  • the additional, characteristic parameter could be determined in a passive arrangement solely from the signal morphology. It is, however, according to the invention an idea, which supports the invention, to provide the detection device with additional means for determining the characteristic parameter.
  • additional means two alternatives have proven to be particularly suitable in an unpredictable manner, namely a radiation source for realizing an active arrangement of the detection device, or additionally an additional sensor for detecting a further signal besides the radiation, e.g. an acoustic signal or an odor signal.
  • the additional parameter is determined by evaluating the radiation reflected by an object or a person in relation to the radiation emitted by the radiation source. In this way, information about the duration of a signal from the radiation source about a person reflecting the sensor arrangement or the degree of reflection can be obtained.
  • the range greater than 1400 nm is preferred. In an active arrangement with a radiation source, this wavelength range also applies to the radiation source. It has been found that in this wavelength range, both a favorable signal-to-noise ratio as well as achieve a high eye safety.

  • the numbers of passengers determined by the detection device by means of a counting unit for the passengers entering and exiting passengers can be assigned to specific routes or stops of a bus.
  • integrated vehicle management is thus possible. This can be used for a whole fleet, if the detection devices and local givers of different vehicles are configured via radio to a central connectable.
  • the radiation source is arranged, for example, in the entrance area of a vehicle such that the radiation emanating from the radiation source strikes the person crossing the entrance area from above and is reflected by the head of the person from the duration of the signal Person is determinable.
  • the characteristic parameter to be stored then corresponds to the size of the person.
  • the synchronously recorded progress signal can be uniquely assigned to a person of the appropriate size by means of the characteristic parameter. Since most persons differ in size at least within certain limits, a largely individual assignment of progress signals is possible in this way, so that also such progress signals are to be assigned as starting from two different persons, which are close to each other from two persons present outgoing radiation.
  • An essential difference to that from the DE 197 21 741 known device is that, for example, in the case of person size determination for Forming the characteristic parameter not the distance function - ie the distance change - stored and compared with other distance functions, but only the minimum of the distance between the radiation source and the sensor arrangement on the one hand and the top of a person's head on the other.
  • the characteristic parameter is not derived from a comparison or correlation of functions among waveforms, but is formed from a signal alone.
  • This signal can originate, for example, from an infrasound sensor for detecting heart sounds and thus the heart rate, or from the already described arrangement for detecting the person size or also according to the invention by a sensor matrix arrangement onto which an image of the persons crossing an entrance area is projected, so that from the Image can be obtained a characterizing the contour of the person parameters.

This sensor is preferably switched on when the history signal indicates that the detected person is currently in the greatest proximity to the sensor. Alternatively, the sensor remains continuously on and only that portion of the signal originating from the sensor is utilized, which was recorded at the time of closest approach to the sensor.
  • the detection device preferably comprises corresponding location or distance determination means and a selection unit connected to these, which selects the corresponding sensor-derived signal section for further processing.
  • the detection device preferably corresponding location or distance determining means and a selection unit connected thereto, which selects the corresponding sensor-derived signal portion for further processing.
  • a plurality of characteristic parameters or parameter profiles can be obtained simultaneously and combined with one another in order to allow an even more precise differentiation of the information obtained and thus an even clearer individualization of the detected persons. Further preferred embodiments are mentioned in the subclaims.
  • These include in particular detection devices with an additional sensor for individual characteristics such as height, shape, hair color, heart tones or smell of a person or an object.
