Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting vehicle motion with respect to a ground. More particularly, the present invention relates to an optical method for detecting a motion of a vehicle with respect to a ground and to a corresponding optical motion sensor.
- speedometers are typically used. These systems are usually based on the principle of measuring the rotational speed of a vehicle wheel. Such speed sensors can be designed purely mechanical, but today usually work without contact with inductive or Hall sensors. Speed sensors may be attached to each wheel, as is common in ABS systems, for example.
- DE 198 38 885 A1 describes such a method and a device for ensuring the standstill of a vehicle in which a parking brake is activated after a detected standstill or an automatic transmission is switched to the parking position.
- the determination of the vehicle movement is carried out via speedometer and other sensors, as provided in adaptive cruise control devices.
- EP 1 606 784 B1 describes a sensor for detecting road conditions in which several sensors in a system are networked and among other things the position of the sensors e.g. be determined by GPS.
- DE 44 09 241 and DE 44 44 223 A1 systems for optical detection of movements of a vehicle are known in which the substrate is imaged on a trained as a grid photoreceiver array. By determining an optical cross-correlation of the images thus acquired, the direction of movement and speed are determined optically.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a sensor and a method with which a movement or the stoppage of a vehicle can be detected reliably and easily.
- This object is achieved by a method and a sensor for detecting a vehicle movement with respect to a background according to claim 1 and by a motion sensor according to claim 6.
- the method comprises emitting at least one beam of light onto the ground, detecting light reflected from the ground, and determining whether the intensity of the reflected light changes within a predetermined time interval within a predetermined variance of the intensity.
- the light intensity can be measured with sub-calculations, at intervals or continuously over a predetermined time interval. If the vehicle does not move, the change in light intensity of the reflected light remains within the predetermined variance. As the vehicle moves, the change in light intensity of the reflected light is increased and exceeds the predetermined variance.
- the variance may be predetermined so that the change in light intensity when the vehicle is stationary is within the variance. Due to the high time resolution, a vehicle even if it is very slow, for example below one meter per second or below 0.1 meter per second.
- the detection of light reflected on the substrate may comprise diffusely reflected light.
- the susceptibility of the system to be reduced even further, especially when a comparison is made with respect to differently reflected light, or if complementary detections are present, or conditions are otherwise known.
- the emission of the light beam to the ground may comprise light of one or more wavelengths in the infrared range. However, light in the visible range can also be used.
- the use of dedicated wavelengths can take into account the external circumstances insofar as known, with several wavelengths in turn being able to reduce the susceptibility to interference.
- an optical surface sensor which is also designed to detect the intensity of reflected light over time, may be used to determine vehicle motion. There are thus practically no additional costs for the integration.
- the motion sensor comprises a light source unit for emitting light of at least one wavelength to the ground, at least one detector for detecting light reflected from the ground, and detection means for detecting a change in the intensity of the detected reflected light over time.
- the motion sensor may also be a surface sensor, which additionally has the detection device for detecting the intensity change of the detected light.
- the detection device can be integrated in a control device of the surface sensor or be designed as an additional unit. An already existing surface sensor can thus optionally around the Additional function of a motion sensor extended or converted to this.
- the light source unit may include one or more light sources. At least one of the light sources may be an infrared light source. Light of one wavelength is sufficient for the motion sensor. There may also be a plurality of infrared light sources, in particular three infrared light sources for emitting infrared light of three different wavelengths. Infrared light has the advantage that it can not be perceived by persons.
- the light source unit and the at least one detector of the motion sensor can be arranged in a housing in close proximity to each other or adjacent to each other. Further, the motion sensor may be configured to be mounted on or retrofitted to a vehicle such that an optical emitter axis of the light source unit is oriented substantially perpendicular to the ground under the vehicle. An optical detector axis of the at least one detector can then also be arranged substantially perpendicular to the substrate, so that the optical emitter axis and the optical detector axis are arranged substantially parallel to one another and / or superimposed on one another. In this way, a light reflected essentially by 180 °, in particular light reflected at an angle of 170 ° to 190 °, is detected.
- the method or the motion sensor according to the invention make it possible to detect whether the vehicle is moving with respect to the ground or is stationary.
- An actual standstill of the vehicle can be used, for example, to determine zero positions of sensors of driver assistance systems, in particular of yaw rate sensors for ESC, ACC systems, etc., or to enable recalibration.
- a brake such as an electropneumatic parking brake, may also be automatically inserted.
- a warning may be issued to the driver when the vehicle begins to move while, for example, way the engine is not turned on.
- the standstill sensor can also be combined with Mosverriegelungs- or unlocking mechanisms, so that a door unlocking is possible only during actual vehicle standstill. This can be used in particular for vehicles for passenger transport.
- the motion sensor may comprise, in addition to the first detector, a second detector and optionally further detectors.

- the light emitter device 10 and the first detector device 20 and optionally further detector devices can be arranged in a common housing 4 of the sensor 2, as shown. Due to the arrangement of the light emitter device 10, the first detector device 20 and optionally further detector devices in a housing 4, the sensor 2 can be constructed very compact and can also be easily retrofitted to a vehicle 60. However, the light emitter device 10 and the first detector device 20 can also be arranged in separate housings and at different locations.
- the sensor 2 comprises a light emitter device 10 with a light source unit 12, which may comprise one or more light sources.
- the light source unit 12 is suitable for emitting light of at least one wavelength, preferably in the infrared range.
- the light source unit 12 may include one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, any other suitable light source, or a combination thereof.
- the light emitter device 10 comprises an emitter optic 16, which is arranged such that the light emitted by the light source unit 12 is aligned or focused along an emitted light beam 11 onto a specific area on the ground or the roadway 1 or the roadway surface 1a under the vehicle 60.
- the optical axis of the emitter optic 16 may define the light emitter axis 10a of the light emitter device 10.

- the sensor 2 further comprises in the first detector device 20 a first detector 22, for example one or more photodiodes, which are designed to detect light of all wavelengths emitted by the light source unit 10.
- the first detector 22 can also comprise a plurality of photodiodes arranged next to one another and / or one or more optoelectronic units (eg CCD, CMOS).
- the first detector device 20 further comprises a first collection optics 26 and a first polarization filter 24.
- the first collection optics 26 may consist of a single first collection lens or comprise a plurality of lenses and / or further optical elements or a combination thereof.
- the first collecting optics 26 serves to focus light reflected on the road surface 1a onto the first detector 22.
- the first polarizing filter 24 serves to filter out specularly polarized light reflected in the predetermined direction, so that only diffusely reflected light reaches the first detector 22.
- the polarization direction of the first polarizing filter 24 is perpendicular to that of the light source polarizer 14 and thus aligned substantially perpendicular to the predetermined polarization direction.

For example, infrared light of wavelength 1460 nm is absorbed particularly well by water, so that light of this wavelength is only slightly reflected back to the first detector 22 and the second detector 32 in the wet road. On dry roads, this wavelength is normally reflected. Infrared light of the wavelength
- the 1550 nm is well absorbed by ice.
- the reference wavelength which is not appreciably absorbed by either ice or water, e.g. 1300 nm, serves as a reference for the evaluation of the absorption of the other two wavelengths. Then the measured intensity ratios at the wavelengths 1550 nm / 1300 nm with the ratio 1460 nm / 1300 nm can be related in a known manner in order to obtain information about water and ice on the road or a dry road.
- the different wavelengths can be transmitted in parallel, but in particular sequentially offset in time. Thus, only light of one wavelength is added at a time sent a time and detected accordingly. This makes it possible to dispense with a complex spectral analysis or beam splitting.

- the described sensor 102 may be operated in the visible light range, for example at a wavelength of approximately 625 nm, to measure specularly reflected light and diffusely reflected light. From the ratio of the diffusely reflected light measured in the first detector 22 to the specularly reflected light additionally measured in the second detector 32, it is possible to deduce the roadway brightness and the road surface roughness and thus determine whether the vehicle is on an asphalt or concrete carriageway, for example located.
