Abstract

A vehicular obstruction location identification system, including one or more obstruction identifier module (1), a central control unit (2) and a remote control unit (3), all of which are in communication via communications devices (8, 11, 13), to identify the location of an obstructing vehicle. One or more obstruction identifier module (1) is placed anywhere locally, nationally or globally, each of which, on sensing an obstructing vehicle, automatically generates a code containing at least a unique identifier and then communicates the code to a central control unit (2) via communications devices (8, 11). On receiving the aforementioned code, the central control unit (2) automatically looks up the location of the obstructing vehicle in a database (10). The central control unit (2) communicates the location of the obstructing vehicle via communications devices (11, 13) to a remote control unit (3).

Description

Vehicular Obstruction Location Identification System
The invention relates to a vehicular obstruction location identification system made up of an obstruction identifier module, a central control unit and a remote control unit.
Systems such as this one exist currently but require more human input to operate effectively, which can lead to errors, and are more basic having less communication between components.
An object of this invention is to provide a system that resolves the situation arising when a vehicle obstructs anywhere locally, nationally or globally, where an obstruction identifier module has been placed, information regarding the obstructing vehicle and its location can be communicated to the central control unit which, after analyzing and identifying that it is truly an obstruction, passes the information on to a relevant remote control unit, which makes it possible for a remote control unit user to go to the location, identify and deal with the obstructing vehicle.
Accordingly this invention provides an obstruction identifier module, a central control unit and a remote control unit.
Preferably the invention will make use of more than one obstruction identifier module in any place that is deemed necessary to allow for the possibility of failure of a collocated obstruction identifier module.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 shows the whole system.
Preferably the obstruction identifier module 1 provides a unique identifier 4, a sensor 5, a timing device 6, a status generator 7 and a communications device 8. Preferably the central control unit 2 provides a lookup device 9, a database 10 containing at least location information, a communications device 11 and a memory device 12.
Preferably the remote control unit 3 provides a communications device 13, a memory device 14 and a human interaction device 15. )
As shown in figure 1, the system uses a communications system that allows communications between all main components of the invention, an obstruction identifier module 1, a central control unit 2 and a remote control unit 3.
A preferred installation of the invention includes many obstruction identifier modules 1, located at regular intervals where it is deemed necessary in a defined area. One or many remote control units 3 and the users of said remote controlled units 3 are capable of getting to the defined area. A central control unit 2 is located anywhere locally, nationally or globally. When an obstructing vehicle is sensed, a status generator 7 generates a code within an obstruction identifier module 1, which sends a signal containing a unique identifier via a communications device 8 and a communications device 11 to a lookup device 9 within a central control unit 2. A lookup device 9 obtains the location from a database 10 and, on determining that a genuine obstruction is occurring, sends the location information via a communications device 11 and a communications device 13 to a remote control unit 3.
The location information is communicated to a remote control unit 3 user via a human interaction device 15 enabling the user to go to the location and deal with the obstructing vehicle as appropriate.

Claims

Claims
1. A vehicular obstruction location identification system including one or more obstruction identifier module, a central control unit and a remote control unit all of which are in communication via communications devices.
2. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in claim 1 where one or more obstruction identifier module is placed anywhere locally, nationally, or globally.
3. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where one or more obstruction identifier module communicates with the central control unit.
4. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where each obstruction identifier module comprises of at least a unique identifier, a sensor, a timing device, a status generator and a communications device.
5. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where the central control unit provides at least a look up device, a database, a communications device and a memory device.
6. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where the remote control unit provides at least a communications device, a memory device and a human interaction device.
7. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where one or more obstruction identifier module senses an obstructing vehicle.
8. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where on sensing an obstructing vehicle, an obstruction identifier module generates a code containing at least a unique identifier.
9. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where each obstruction identifier module identifies an obstructing vehicle to the central control unit by communicating a code to the central control unit.
10. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where the central control unit looks up the code in a database to determine the location of the obstructing vehicle.
11. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where the central control unit determines that a vehicle is genuinely obstructing.
12. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where the central control unit communicates the location of the obstructing vehicle to one or more remote control unit.
13. A vehicular obstruction location identification system as claimed in any preceding claim where each remote control unit communicates the location of an obstructing vehicle via a human interaction device.
14. A vehicular obstruction location identification system substantially as herein described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
