Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling traffic flows with dangerous goods or special transports through safety-critical traffic areas, such as tunnels, bridges or locks, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a traffic control system for controlling traffic flows with dangerous goods or special transports through safety-critical traffic areas, such as tunnels, bridges or locks, according to the preamble of claim 4.
  • Traffic control systems which measure road conditions or traffic density, for example, and set traffic control signals, such as speed restrictions or general driving bans. Traffic control systems, which also take into account the traffic density, are based on non-contact detection devices for vehicles, such as optical cameras.
  • WO 2006/088916 describes a method for monitoring traffic flows.
  • systems of this kind are not suitable for controlling traffic flows with dangerous goods or special transports through safety-critical traffic areas, such as tunnels, bridges or locks, since information about the presence and type of, for example, hazardous goods would be necessary.
  • the automated acquisition of this information can not be achieved with optical cameras alone.
  • safety-critical traffic areas such as tunnels, bridges or locks
  • Claim 1 relates to a method for controlling traffic flows with dangerous goods or special transports through safety-critical traffic areas, such as tunnels, bridges or locks.
  • safety-relevant data are read out by means of a signal transmitter arranged on the dangerous goods or special transports when passing readers arranged in the safety-critical traffic area and transmitted to a central processing unit, the central processing unit being based on the safety-related data of all dangerous goods located in the safety-critical traffic area.
  • or special transports determines a safety risk in the safety-critical traffic area, and sets traffic control signals that reduce the accident risk of dangerous goods or special transport in the safety-critical traffic area in order to avoid an undue risk of safety.
  • the special transports may also be buses or heavy vehicles of all kinds.
  • interference with the traffic flow thus takes place only when dangerous goods or special transports are actually located in the safety-critical traffic area.
  • own signal generator are provided with which the dangerous goods or special transports are provided, such as RFID transponder.
  • the safety risk can first be evaluated, which results, for example, in combination with another dangerous goods or special transport. If an impermissible safety risk is to be expected, according to the invention traffic control signals are set which reduce the accident risk of dangerous goods or special transport in the safety-critical traffic area.
  • claim 2 provides that the central processing unit sets traffic control signals which prevent additional dangerous goods or special transport from entering the safety-critical traffic area, if there is already a dangerous goods or special transport in the safety-critical traffic area.
  • the traffic control signal may consist of a stop signal for a dangerous goods or special transport located in the entry area of a safety-critical traffic area.
  • Claim 4 relates to a traffic control system for controlling traffic flows with dangerous goods or special transports through safety-critical traffic areas, such as tunnels, bridges or locks.
  • the dangerous goods or special transports are equipped with a signal generator for safety-relevant data
  • the safety-critical traffic area readers are arranged for the signal generator, and a central processing unit is provided, on the one hand with the readers for transmission of when passing a Signal generator read, safety-related data is connected, and on the other hand with a traffic control device, in a safety-relevant data on the safety-critical all
  • the safety risk determined by the traffic sector determines traffic control signals which reduce the accident risk of a dangerous goods or special transport in the safety-critical traffic area.
  • the readers are arranged in the entry and exit area of the safety-critical traffic area, and the traffic control device comprises a controllable stop signal in the entry and exit area of the safety-critical traffic area.
  • the signal transmitter is an RFID transponder.
  • the 1 to 4 show a possible embodiment of the method or traffic control system according to the invention, in which a safety-critical traffic area 1, such as a tunnel, should be accessible only for a dangerous goods or special transport 7.
  • a safety-critical traffic area 1 such as a tunnel
  • the 1 to 4 show only the dangerous goods or special transport 7, but the traffic flow is in addition to the dangerous goods or special transport 7 also from a variety of other vehicles, but do not represent an increased risk potential in safety-critical traffic area 1, and in the 1 to 4 are not shown.
  • the safety-critical area 1 may be an exposed road section, a road tunnel, a railway tunnel, a lock in shipping, a bridge, etc.
  • the hazardous goods or special transport 7.1 moves in the direction of the arrow on the safety-critical area 1, and is equipped with a signal generator 4, such as an RFID ("Radio Frequency Identification”) - transponder.
  • the signal generator 4 contains safety-relevant data about the relevant vehicle, such as type of cargo, total amount of cargo, dimensions of the vehicle or vehicle weight.
  • Dangerous goods or special transport 7.1 may also be any type of heavy vehicle, or other vehicles with increased protection requirements, such as buses.
  • the safety-relevant data on the signal generator 4 are read by readers 5, which in the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1 are arranged in the entry and exit area 2 of the safety-critical area 1.
  • RFID transponders Different types of RFID transponders are known, which in principle can be used for methods according to the invention or traffic control systems. However, so-called “passive" RFID transponders are particularly advantageous do not need their own power supply, and therefore can be built small, light and cheap, and also have a long life.
  • the readers 5 scan in a conventional manner the data contained on the RFID transponder.
  • RFID transponders which have their own energy supply, for example to increase the range of the data exchange.
  • RFID transponders of this type are also known as "semi-active" or “active” transponders.
  • the reading devices 5 can also be designed as receiving devices for the data transmitted by the RFID transponder.
  • the reader 5 transmits the data using a cable connection, or a wireless connection based on UMTS or GPRS to the central processing unit 3.
  • the central processing unit 3 can be located in spatial proximity to the safety-critical traffic area 1, such as in the monitoring center of a tunnel, or also spatially far away, for example in a central traffic control center, which monitors several road sections. Based on the safety-related data of all dangerous goods or special transports 7.n, the central processing unit 3 determines a safety risk in the safety-critical traffic area 1 and sets traffic control signals that avoid the accident risk of dangerous goods or special transports 7.n in the safety-critical area in order to avoid an inadmissible safety risk Reduce traffic area 1.
  • the traffic control device 6 such as a controllable stop signal, is therefore controlled by the central processing unit 3 so that it allows an entry of dangerous goods or special transport 7.1.
  • the sum of the charged, combustible substances of two dangerous goods transports 7.1 and 7.2 could overtax the safety systems of a tunnel, or one can not enter buses into the tunnel during the passage of a dangerous goods transport 7.1 for safety reasons, etc.
  • about permissible load for a bridge would be exceeded if additional dangerous goods or special transports 7.n are permitted in the safety-critical area 1, in this case a bridge.
  • the passage of dangerous goods or special transport 7.2 should be temporarily prohibited, so that the central processing unit 3 sends to the corresponding traffic control device 6, for example, a stop signal ( FIG. 3 ).
  • a traffic control signal also temporarily a general speed limit or otherwise a measure known to the skilled person for traffic telematics for reducing the accident risk of dangerous goods or special transport 7.n in the safety-critical traffic area 1.
  • the first dangerous goods or special transport 7.1 When leaving the safety-critical traffic area 1, the first dangerous goods or special transport 7.1 passes a reading device 5, which reads out the safety-related data of the dangerous goods or special transport 7.1 in question and transmits it to the central processing unit 3. The central processing unit 3 is thus informed that the dangerous goods or special transport 7.1 has left the safety-critical traffic area 1. Since there is no further dangerous goods or special transport 7.n in the safety-critical traffic area 1, the passage for the dangerous goods or special transport 7.2 is released ( FIG. 4 ).
  • signal generators 4 such as RFID transponders
  • signal generators 4 in the context of the method according to the invention also has the advantage of being aware of the loading of dangerous goods or special transports 7.n at any time.
  • rescue measures can be optimized, for example in the event of an accident.
  • data about the dimensions of the respective dangerous goods or special transport 7.n can be compared with the local conditions of the safety-critical area 1, for example an underpass, in order to be able to identify potential hazards in this way.
  • a method or a traffic control system for controlling traffic flows with dangerous goods or special transports 7.n is thus implemented by safety-critical traffic areas 1, which selectively minimizes security risks associated with dangerous goods or special transports 7.n without thereby affecting the general traffic flow for all unnecessarily hinder other vehicles.
