Nichtbeachtung von ausgewiesenen Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungen soweit wie möglich verringert werden. Die Verkehrskontrolle mit Hilfe von Radarmessungen erfolgen jedoch heute nur sporadisch und an relativ wenigen Stellen, so dass die Auswirkungen auf das Entstehen von Verkehrsunfällen durch überhöhte Geschwindigkeit bzw. Nichteinhalten einer vorgeschriebenen Geschwindigkeit noch relativ gering sind.Both for monitoring road traffic as well for measuring speed overshoots Speed-limited routes are measuring stations in the form of stationary and mobile stations basically known and in use. This is especially intended one of the causes of traffic hazards and for Traffic accidents due to excessive speed or Failure to adhere to stated speed limits be reduced as much as possible. The Traffic control done by means of radar measurements but today only sporadically and relatively few Ask, so the impact on the emergence of Traffic accidents due to excessive speed or Failure to comply with a prescribed speed still relatively low.

Durch die Anwendung der derzeit modernsten Technologie auf dem Gebiet der Sensortechnik, wodurch Radarsensoren und Mikro-Foto-/Video-Kameras auf wenigen Chips bzw. sogar im Extremfall auf einem Chip möglich sind, wird es in Kombination mit den bekannten Telekommunikationsmitteln (zum Beispiel GSM gestützter Übertragungen) möglich, flächendeckend Kontrollsysteme aufzubauen, in dem insbesondere an/in jedem Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungsschild eine mikroprozessorgesteuerte, miniaturisierte Einrichtung aus Radareinrichtung, Kamera und Sendeeinrichtung implementiert wird. Die Sendeeinrichtung kann so gestaltet werden, dass über sie von Personen auch Notrufe - Notrufsäule - an die zentrale Empfangsstelle abgegeben werden können. Die Kamera dient zur Aufnahme eines Beweisfotos von Fahrer und Fahrzeugkennzeichen. Erfolgt die Übertragung der umfangreichen Bilddaten zeitverzögert, um netzverkehrsschwache Zeiten zu nutzen, so ist eine Direktübertragung des Fahrzeugkennzeichens als Bildausschnitt oder über Mustererkennungssoftware als Klartext sinnvoll, um nachträgliche Sabotage/Zerstörung der Einzelanlage - zur Verhinderung der Fahrzeug-/Fahreridentifikation - zu vermeiden. Zusätzlich kann außerdem noch eine Empfängereinrichtung und ein Mikroprozessor zur Ausführung und Steuerung bestimmter Funktionen, wie zum Beispiel das Einschalten und Ausschalten zu bestimmten Zeiten und in bestimmten Situationen integriert werden. Durch ein derartiges System, das sich aus dem Verfahren und aus der Einrichtung zusammensetzt, ist es möglich, relativ faire Bedingungen für den Betrieb und für die Teilnehmer am Strassenverkehr einzuhalten, wenn insbesondere folgende Zusatzaspekte erfüllt werden:
- die Messeinrichtungen werden adressierbar gestaltet (Scharfmachen)
- die Aktivierung des Systems wird mit stochastischen Prinzipien (Zufallsgenerator) gesteuert, wobei die Zeitdauer des Scharfseins der Einrichtung vorwählbar ist
- die Messeinrichtungen besitzen eine Kennung, die es ermöglicht, Prioritäten hinsichtlich der Messdauer, der Messhäufigkeit und ähnliches, zum Beispiel für sehr neuralgische Punkte im Strassenverkehr zu vergeben und
- die Messeinrichtungen enthalten eine Speichermöglichkeit für Bilder von Fahrzeugen, die die Geschwindigkeit überschritten haben, um zum Beispiel durch ein Polling-Verfahren die Messergebnisse zu funknetz-verkehrsschwachen Zeiten ferngesteuert abrufen zu können.
- the measuring devices are designed to be addressable (arming)
- the activation of the system is controlled by stochastic principles (random number generator), whereby the duration of being armed is preselected
- the measuring equipment has an identifier which makes it possible to prioritize the duration of the measurement, the frequency of measurements and the like, for example for very sensitive points in road traffic and
- The measuring devices contain a storage facility for images of vehicles that have exceeded the speed, for example, by means of a polling method, the results can be remotely retrieved at radio-low-traffic times.
Die Funksignale werden zum Beispiel über ein Mobilfunknetz zu einer zentralen Messeinrichtung, bei flächendeckenden Lösungen insbesondere an Regionalzentren, übertragen. Dort werden die Daten automatisch mit Daten der Zulassungskartei zur Ermittlung der Fahrzeughalter und zum Beispiel mit der Verkehrssünderkartei in Flensburg verglichen. Die "Ticket" bzw. Straf- bzw. Bußgeldscheinausstellung erfolgt automatisch, ebenso die Expedition der Gebührenbescheide. Zahlungseingänge werden über die angegebenen Bankverbindungen automatisch überwacht und Mahnungen bzw. ähnliches werden ebenfalls automatisch exportiert. Außerdem ist es mit einer derartigen Lösung auch möglich, Radar oder Funk-Warnimpulse auf einen entsprechenden Empfänger in einem Kraftfahrzeug zu senden, der eine zwangsweise Geschwindigkeitsverringerung und -begrenzung auslöst. Damit lässt sich insgesamt der Strassenverkehr automatisch steuern und auch eine vorgegebene Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung automatisch einhalten.The radio signals are transmitted over a mobile network, for example to a central measuring device, with nationwide coverage Solutions, in particular to regional centers. There, the data is automatically updated with data of the Registration card for the determination of vehicle owners and For example, with the traffic offenders in Flensburg compared. The "ticket" or penalty or fines note exhibition takes place automatically, as well as the expedition the fee notifications. Payments will be automatically monitored via the specified bank details and reminders and the like are also automatically exported. Besides, it is with such Solution also possible, radar or radio warning pulses to a corresponding receiver in a motor vehicle to send a forced speed reduction and limit triggers. This can be altogether the traffic control and traffic automatically also a preset speed limit automatically comply.

Bevor die detaillierte Funktionsweise und Wirkungsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens anhand von Fig. 1 erklärt wird, soll zunächst eine Beschreibung der grundsätzlichen Wirkungsweise des Verfahrens bzw. der Implementation folgen.Before the detailed operation and mode of action of the inventive method with reference to FIG. 1 explained is, first, a description of the fundamental Mode of action of the method or implementation consequences.
Durch die moderne Technologieentwicklung auf dem Sensorsektor ist es heute grundsätzlich möglich, Radarsensoren und Foto-/Video-Kameras, insbesondere Mikro-Videokameras, als Ein-Chip-Lösung zu realisieren. Durch den Einsatz dieser modernen Technologie ist es mit Hilfe von Telekommunikationsmitteln und informationsvermittlungstechnischen Mitteln möglich, flächendeckend Kontrollsysteme aufzubauen, indem an jedem Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungsschild im Strassenverkehr zum Beispiel eine miniaturisierte Einrichtung als Radar-Einrichtung, Kamera und Sendeeinrichtung implementiert wird. Zusätzlich kann noch eine Empfangseinrichtung und ein Mikroprozessor mit Speicher implementiert werden, um Funksignale empfangen und insbesondere für die Ein- und Ausschaltung wirksam machen zu können.Through modern technology development in the sensor sector It is basically possible today, radar sensors and photo / video cameras, in particular micro video cameras, to realize as a one-chip solution. By the use of this modern technology is with help of telecommunications and information technology Means possible, nationwide Build control systems by adding to each speed limit sign in traffic for example a miniaturized device as a radar device, Camera and transmitter is implemented. additionally can still have a receiving device and a microprocessor be implemented with memory to radio signals received and in particular for the inputs and To make it possible to eliminate it.
Diese in Verkehrsschilder, insbesondere Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungsschilder integrierte Messstellen sind über Telekommunikationsleitungen bzw. Funksignale, gegebenenfalls über Satelliten, mit einer oder mehreren zentralen Messstellen, zum Beispiel in Regionalzentren, verbunden. Dort werden die Daten automatisch mit Daten zum Beispiel einer Zulassungskartei zur Ermittlung der Fahrzeughalter und zum Beispiel mit der Verkehrssünderkartei in Flensburg verglichen. Die Ausstellung eines entsprechenden Bescheides erfolgt dann in den zentralen Stellen automatisch und ebenso die Expedition der entsprechenden Gebührenbescheide. Auch die Zahlungseingänge werden über die angegebenen Bankverbindungen überwacht und Mahnungen und ähnliches werden automatisch exportiert. Eine Modifikation des Systems ist noch dadurch möglich, dass die Radareinrichtung oder eine entsprechende Funkeinrichtung mit ausreichendem zeitlichen Vorlauf, das heißt in genügend großem Reaktionsabstand, einen Warnimpuls auf einen Radarempfänger im Fahrzeug abgibt. Reagiert der Fahrer nicht durch entsprechendes Abbremsen, dann wird zum Beispiel automatisch ein Bremsmechanismus ausgelöst, wobei noch unterschieden werden kann, ob der Fahrer davon Kenntnis bekommt, ob oder ob nicht ausgelöst wird. Dies kann durch eine Zufallssteuerung mikroprozessorgesteuert erfolgen. Eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, Radar- oder Funk-Warnimpulse auf einen entsprechenden Empfänger im Fahrzeug zu schicken, der mit der Gaszuführung bzw. der Bremseinrichtung gekoppelt ist und eine zwangsweise Geschwindigkeitsverringerung bzw. Abbremsung auslöst. Das Warnsignal müsste in einem solchen Fall eine Information über die Sollgeschwindigkeit enthalten.These in road signs, in particular speed limit signs integrated measuring points are via telecommunication lines or radio signals, if necessary via satellite, with one or more central measuring points, for example in regional centers, connected. There, the data is automatically with data For example, an admission card to determine the Vehicle owner and for example with the traffic offenders file compared in Flensburg. The exhibition of a corresponding declarations are then made in the central Set automatically and as well the expedition of the corresponding Fee assessments. Also the incoming payments are monitored via the specified bank details and reminders and the like are automatic exported. A modification of the system is still by it possible that the radar device or a corresponding Radio with sufficient time Flow, that is in sufficiently large reaction distance, a warning pulse to a radar receiver in the vehicle emits. The driver does not respond by appropriate Braking, then, for example, automatically Brake mechanism triggered, while still different can be whether the driver is aware of whether or it does not fire. This can be done by a random control be microprocessor controlled. A additional possibility of the method according to the invention It consists of radar or radio warning pulses to send a corresponding receiver in the vehicle, coupled to the gas supply or the braking device is and a forced speed reduction or deceleration triggers. The warning signal would have to in such a case, information about the Set speed included.
