Bei der Selektion werden nur die Warnmeldungen einer bestimmten, vorgegebenen Priorität berücksichtigt.The central office determines those available for the request from the terminal Warning messages. The area-dependent selection of warning messages takes place based on the current vehicle position. What street classes (Motorways, country roads, district roads etc.) is taken into account preset. Only the warning messages of a specific, given the given priority.

Die Zusammenstellung und Sortierung der Meldungen erfolgt durch die Zentrale, wobei diese auf eine Datenbasis mit allgemein zugänglichen Verkehrsdaten zugreift. Als Antwort-Nachrichten werden die für den Teilnehmer relevanten Warnmeldungen generiert und zum Endgerät gesendet.
Liegen für das Selektionsgebiet keine Warnmeldungen vor bzw. hat sich der Bestand an Warnmeldungen nicht geändert, so wird eine entsprechende Nachricht zum Endgerät übertragen z.B.:

A
Für Ihr Gebiet liegen keine Warnmeldungen vor.
B
Die gespeicherten Warnmeldungen sind weiterhin gültig
The central unit compiles and sorts the messages, which access a database with generally accessible traffic data. The response messages relevant to the subscriber are generated and sent to the terminal.
If there are no warning messages for the selection area or if the number of warning messages has not changed, a corresponding message is transmitted to the end device, for example:
A
There are no alerts for your area.
B

Wenn während dieser Vorhaltezeit neue Warnmeldungen für das Aufenthaltsgebiet eines Teilnehmers auftreten, so werden sie initiiert von der Zentrale spontan an diesen Teilnehmer gemeldet.If there are new warning messages for the area during this retention period of a participant occur, they are initiated spontaneously by the head office reported this participant.

Das Endgerät bringt die weiteren Meldungen zur Anzeige; diese Meldungen haben dabei vorzugsweise Priorität gegenüber allen anderen Funktionen des Displays außer Notruf und Pannenmeldung.The terminal displays the other messages; have these messages preferably priority over all other functions of the display except for emergency calls and breakdown reports.

Das EG nimmt diese neue Meldung in seinen Speicher auf. The EC stores this new message in its memory.

Falls Warnmeldungen in der Zentrale auf ungültig gesetzt werden, so werden diese mit einer Löschnachricht spontan an das Endgerät gemeldet. Dort werden sie sofort zur Anzeige gebracht. Der Meldungsbestand im Endgerät wird entsprechend aktualisiert.If warning messages in the head office are set to invalid, they will be spontaneously reported to the terminal with a delete message. There they are immediately brought to the display. The number of messages in the end device is changed accordingly updated.

Nach Ablauf von der Registrierungszeitspanne von z.B. 60 Minuten stellt das Endgerät eine erneute Anfrage an die Zentrale mit seiner aktuellen Position, seinem aktuellen Warnmeldungsbestand und dem verwendeten Standardfilter.After the registration period of e.g. That represents 60 minutes Terminal requests the central office again with its current position, its current warning inventory and the standard filter used.

Die Zentrale sucht entsprechend der Anfrageparameter aus der Datenbasis die aktuellen Meldungen für die neue Aufenthaltsregion heraus und schickt sie an das Endgerät des Teilnehmers. Dabei werden neue und geänderte Meldungen einerseits und Löschnachrichten andererseits vorzugsweise in getrennten Nachrichtenblöcken geschickt.The control center searches for the according to the request parameters from the database current reports for the new region of residence and send them to the Terminal of the participant. New and changed messages are on the one hand and delete messages, on the other hand, preferably in separate message blocks cleverly.

Das Endgerät empfängt, dekodiert und speichert diese Meldungen. Nicht mehr relevante Warnmeldungen werden dadurch gelöscht.The terminal receives, decodes and stores these messages. No more relevant warning messages are deleted.

Alle vorhandenen Warnmeldungen, neue wie alte, werden zur Anzeige gebracht.All existing warning messages, new and old, are displayed.

Das Endgerät verwendet bei Anfragen an die Zentrale standardmäßig einen Filter, der vorzugsweise nicht vom Teilnehmer verändert werden kann. Diese Filter kann folgende Parameter enthalten: 1. Applikation ID: z.B. B8 2. Direction Selection: Umkreis (um den aktuellen Standort) 3. Region Selection Criterion überregional 4. Street Selection Type alle Straßen 5. Update: mit Dauer 60 Min. (in der Zentrale) The terminal uses a filter as standard for queries to the central office, which preferably cannot be changed by the subscriber. This filter can contain the following parameters: 1. Application ID: e.g. B8 Second Direction Selection: Radius (around the current location) Third Region Selection Criterion nationwide 4th Street Selection Type all roads 5th update: with a duration of 60 minutes (at the headquarters)

Eine Interaktion mit vorhandenen Verkehrsinformationssystemen wird durch die separate Kennzeichnungen der Warnmeldungen möglich.
Die Warnmeldungen werden zusammen mit den bereits vorhandenen Verkehrsmeldungen zur Anzeige gebracht.Interaction with existing traffic information systems is made possible by the separate labeling of the warning messages.
The warning messages are displayed together with the existing traffic reports.

Vorteilhaft wird eine Sortierreihenfolge von Warnmeldungen und Verkehrsmeldungen festgelegt, wobei beispielsweise zuerst die Warnmeldungen mit einem entsprechenden Hinweis (Bsp.: Achtung: Wichtig !) angezeigt werden, wonach dann wie gewohnt die Verkehrsmeldungen nach Autobahnnummem etc. sortiert angezeigt werden.A sorting order of warning messages and traffic reports is advantageous fixed, for example first the warning messages with a appropriate note (example: Caution: important!) is displayed, then what As usual, the traffic reports are sorted by motorway number, etc. become.
