Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for checking the correct handling of the dial gauge, in particular in the form of a taximeter, of vehicles provided with such a dial gauge that can be switched on and off, such as taxis, rental cars, rental cars, freight forwarding vehicles or the like, and relates to another Invention ideas on a suitable device for performing this method.
  • the taximeter built into practically every taxi shows the amount to be settled with the customer.
  • the taximeter stores the total sales made over a longer period of time, for example over a driver's work shift. This value is decisive for the settlement between the driver and the taxi entrepreneur employing them.
  • the dial gauge is switched off during a transportation trip, which is common for transportation over long distances, this trip is only included in the accounting if the relevant accounting records are available.
  • a cross-check has not yet been possible. It can therefore happen that transport journeys which are driven with the dial gauge switched off are embezzled by the driver concerned in relation to the taxi operator.
  • the signal derived from the on-time of the dial gauge can be a continuous signal and the signal derived from the change in the loading condition of the vehicle can be a short pulse.
  • the recording corresponding to the on-time of the watch is advantageously limited only to the front and to the rear by the recording indicating a change in the loading condition of the vehicle, which can advantageously greatly increase the clarity.
  • a further advantageous measure can consist in that at least one vehicle operating parameter that is independent of the dial gauge is also monitored and a signal derived therefrom is recorded synchronously with the other signals. In this way, sources of error that can be avoided Records can be obtained with the vehicle stationary. In addition, the normally required arrivals and departures can be seen here.
  • the solution to the part of the object according to the invention relating to the device advantageously consists in that the vehicle is provided with a tachograph which has a plurality of synchronously operating, independently controllable stylus needles, at least one or two of which can be used simultaneously with the dial gauge and / or can be activated from the signal derived from a change in the vehicle loading state on the passenger side.
  • the usual tachographs in addition to other writing needles which produce analog records, are provided with at least one writing needle which leaves a bar-shaped record or can be equipped with such a writing needle, the motor of which can be controlled via several connections and whose records have a different bar height depending on the control. If such a stylus is controlled with the continuous signal derived from the on-time of the dial gauge and the pulse-shaped signals derived from the change in the vehicle loading condition, the result is a very clear and clear recording picture. It is expedient that of the duty cycle of the measurement clock derived signal assigned the smaller bar height.
  • the recordings corresponding to the pulse-like signals derived from a change in the vehicle's loading condition advantageously appear simply as lines protruding beyond the front and rear edges of the bar indicating the operating time of the dial gauge.
  • the load of the vehicle changes on the passenger side.
  • at least one vehicle door is opened or closed.
  • the signals to be derived from a change in the vehicle load state can therefore be derived simply from the opening or closing of the passenger doors.
  • Another option that can be used as an alternative or in addition to this is to derive the signals to be derived from a change in the vehicle loading state on the passenger side from the spring travel of the suspension of the passenger seats. As soon as a passenger seat is occupied or left, the spring elements are deflected accordingly or return to their original position.
  • the two possibilities described above can advantageously be used together. This ensures high operational reliability even in the event that one or the other variant fails.
  • the signals to be derived from the opening or closing of the passenger doors or from the loading or unloading of the passenger seats can simply be generated with the aid of switches.
  • a particularly preferred advanced training of the Orderly measures can consist in that the switches which can be actuated by the passenger seats or the passenger doors are each in the minus branch of an assigned current path, which leads via a respective actuator, by means of which an interrupter located in an associated signal line leading to the tachograph can be actuated.

  • Fig. 5 shows an installation game for a switch assigned to a passenger door
  • Fig. 6 shows a signal flow diagram for an additional shutdown device.
  • the structure and functioning of motor vehicles the type used for taxis are known per se.
  • the taxi on which FIG. 1 is based has two rear and one front passenger seat 1. Next to each passenger seat 1 there is a passenger door 2. The driver's seat and the driver's door are not shown since these should not be included in the control system.
  • a suitable dial gauge 3, here in the form of a so-called taximeter, is provided for determining the fare. Different tariffs apply to the determination of the fare, which is expressed here by three different tariff keys 4. The determined fare is displayed on a fare display 5. With the help of taximeter 3, the sales made over a longer period of time, for example within an entire working shift, are simultaneously stored. This total turnover is shown on the display device 5 when a corresponding key, here the key 6, is pressed. Taximeter 3 is not in operation during arrivals and departures without passengers.
  • a button 7 is provided, with which the illumination of an externally attached sign with the inscription FREI can be switched on at the same time.
  • a tachograph 8 which uses signal lines 9 and 10 to indicate the operation of the taximeter 3 or changes in the vehicle loading state in the area of the three passenger seats 1 conducted signals is controllable.
  • the signal line 9 assigned to the taximeter 3 is activated as soon as one of the three tariff keys 4 is pressed.

  • These actuators 14 are each in an assigned circuit and divide them into a positive branch 15 located at the positive pole and a negative branch 16 located at the negative pole, which leads via the respectively assigned switches 11 and 12 connected in parallel. This ensures that the switches 11 and 12 are usually at the negative pole.

  • the signal which can be achieved with the aid of the switches 11 therefore proves to be a short impulse which is given each time a passenger door 2 is opened.
  • the the Switch 12 assigned to passenger seats 1 are designed as toggle switches which have two contact positions, so that a signal can also be generated when taking and leaving the relevant seat.
  • Actuator 14 is expediently provided with a time circuit which, after activation, after a time of about 10 seconds also automatically passivates and thus interrupts the assigned signal line 10, so that a pulse-like signal of approximately 10 seconds duration also results here .
