Description

State of the art

The present invention relates to a user interface and a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle in keeping traffic rules. Furthermore, the invention comprises an associated means of transportation on land, preferably a motor vehicle and / or bicycle, and / or a means of transport by water and / or in the air. In the context of the invention is a leader of a means of transport, preferably a driver, a road user subjected to a traffic order. Preferably, the invention also includes the application by other users, preferably executive bodies to enforce a valid traffic regulations.

DE 10 2010 003 965 A1 discloses a method and an associated control unit for operating a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, by which a driver in response to driving dynamics data driving recommendations are pronounced, with which the driver can exploit the entire power spectrum of the motor vehicle within a technically possible dynamic driving boundary area. For this, the method takes into account the individual driver with regard to his current wishes and / or his ability. It can be used, for example, as a driving dynamics coach.

Disclosure of the invention

The user interface according to the invention and the associated method provide a new possibility, against the background of a valid traffic order and predefined by a traffic rule reference reference, such as a maximum speed, potential punitive measures, in particular fines, in response to the presence or reaching of punishable states the Guide of a means of transport, in particular the driver of a motor vehicle, warning and / or instructive display. For this purpose, the information relevant to the traffic conditions, which relate to the driver and / or the means of locomotion, first determined by information technology on board the means of locomotion.

In other words, it is a central idea of the present invention to guide and assist a driver in complying with a traffic order by the driver being assigned to an impermissible deviation of the state from the reference reference, preferably with deduction of measurement error tolerances in favor of the driver. Penalty is automatically notified to the driver. It is essential to the invention of the invention that this concerns a warning simulation of potential punitive measures before they are substantiated. In other words, the punitive action displayed to the driver is not externally specified or read in the form of a punitive action already initiated and / or imposed, but inventively determined on board the means of locomotion on the basis of information stored as to the general traffic order and the result displayed ,

The invention supports in terms of improved transparency about the applicable traffic rules or a warning to the driver in his general concern to prevent the emergence of punitive measures establishing facts in advance. Ideally, it is possible by the inventive simulation and overview of possible negative consequences of improper behaviors or conditions in traffic to support the driver so well that he can lead or drive his means of transportation completely or at least largely without rule violation.

In particular, against the background of increasingly transnational transfers, there are particular advantages in this regard, since negative surprises when crossing borders into other countries with regard to less well-known traffic rules and / or penalty catalogs can be avoided in advance.

The dependent claims show preferred developments of the invention.

Preferably, the traffic rule predefined reference reference, which is valid and / or applicable for the driver and / or the means of transportation, comprises quantitative and / or qualitative values. Quantitative values mean in particular a maximum and / or straightening speed and / or a minimum distance to be maintained in the sense of a braking distance to a third road user, for example to a vehicle in front. In the course of a smog hazard, especially in urban agglomerations, an emission value and / or a mode of operation of the means of locomotion, for example an electric operation, may additionally or alternatively be taken into account. In addition or as an alternative, it may be a traffic rule that is centrally to be considered due to the high risk of danger and reinforced with high punitive measures, such as a direction of travel, for example to avoid entering a one-way street or as a ghost driver on a motorway. Traffic rules in the context of the invention include all traffic signs, preferably those of the Highway Code such as a red traffic light system and / or a Stop sign and / or a right of way sign, but also of shipping, especially in inland navigation on canals, and / or air traffic, in particular instructions from airport towers or pilots. A traffic rule may indicate a traffic bidding zone, for example a no-parking zone and / or a no-stopping zone and / or a restricted-traffic area such as in front of a school and / or a private road and / or a toll route. Furthermore, the term in the context of the invention may include a lighting rule for the means of transportation, for example, in the prevailing fog, the switching on of a rear fog lamp, and / or also prescribed illuminated signs and / or navigation signs and / or aviation signs. Additionally or alternatively, an accessory specification for the means of transportation may be meant, for example an obligation for snow chains and / or a child seat and / or a seat belt and / or a flagging. Additionally or alternatively, in particular with regard to the long-distance traffic of trucks, a maximum load and / or a maximum travel time can be understood by it. In addition to the traffic rules relating primarily to the means of transportation, the invention likewise encompasses traffic rules relating to the driver or driver of the means of transportation. Requirements derived from traffic rules, which relate to the driver, initially include authorization certificates for the driver for guiding the means of transportation, in particular special rules such as a temporary license withdrawal and / or an otherwise limited driving license, for example a so-called "Learner's Permit" for a novice driver. Furthermore, they include a physiological requirement for the leader. On the one hand, this includes, among other things, the non-variable physiological states, in particular the age indicating fitness to drive or, in some countries, gender-specific driving restrictions. On the other hand, vital functions of the driver are meant as variable physiological conditions primarily, but not limiting, such as his attention, for which the pupil and / or the blinking, for example, the lid position of an eye and / or a gas concentration in the respiratory air are measured and evaluated.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the traffic rule is determined as a local validity area in accordance with a current and / or proximate position of the means of locomotion in the movement direction. The latter relates, for example, to entering a bidding zone. The position is preferably known on the basis of a location for the means of transportation and / or a position located for the driver. The locating may preferably take place by means of a navigation system and / or a receiver for a global navigation satellite system and / or a mobile wireless communication terminal of the driver. Additionally or alternatively, the invention comprises a location by means of a terrestrial location device and / or by means of a sensory detection of the environment of the means of locomotion, for example by a distance sensor and / or a front camera. Furthermore, it may be preferred that the prevailing traffic rules are detected by means of communication with infrastructural facilities of the traffic environment (so-called "car-to-infrastructure communication"), for example by communication with an installation for dynamic speed control on motorways.

Preferably, the traffic rule and / or the reference reference can be determined on the basis of previously stored data. For this purpose, the storage medium in the form of a data memory on board the means of transport and / or on a mobile wireless communication terminal of the driver and / or dislocal (as so-called "cloud") are present. As an alternative or in addition to the above-mentioned sensory recognition of positions, the sensory recognition may also refer to that of traffic signs in the vicinity of the means of locomotion. Thus, a sensory recognition means, such as a front camera and / or a radio receiver and / or a radar device, can recognize a traffic rule, for example indicated by a sign. Likewise, the invention includes the reference of traffic rules signals from infrastructural facilities of the traffic environment ("Car-to-Infrastructure-Communication"). Still further, the invention comprises the exchange of information about positions and / or traffic rules by communication between individual road users (so-called "car-to-car communication").

In particular, in the event of deviations in quantitative form, a staggered penalty or fine catalog may be available. If, therefore, the desired reference comprises a multiplicity of desired reference interval levels of punitive measures of different severity, a preferred refinement of the method according to the invention comprises further steps: the at least one reference reference interval level and / or the plurality of reference reference interval levels be determined. Based on this, the at least one desired reference interval level and / or the associated penalty can be displayed to the driver. That is, the user interface according to the invention is preferably able to offer the driver an overall view of a graduated potential fine catalog. This is particularly advantageous against the background that the legislation punitive measures are often designed with stepped and / or disproportionately increasing functions, so not from the driver intentional jump effects of criminal tightening may result negligently. Against this background, the invention offers the advantage of making the legislator's intention to regulate traffic more transparent to the driver.

It is preferred that the state is determined on the basis of a parameter derived from an electronic control device and / or a sensor of the means of locomotion. Such parameters include a speed and / or a steering direction and / or a drive power reserve and / or an operating mode and / or a malfunction of a motor and / or drive. The relevance may, for example, result from a traffic rule relating to an emission-free zone in which driving by means of an electric motor is prescribed. The consideration according to the invention of a drive energy reserve can relate to the case that the lying down with an empty tank or battery on a marginal strip of a highway is punishable in many countries. Also included are states which can be detected in the form of parameters relating to the driving physics of the means of locomotion, for example a transverse and / or longitudinal acceleration and / or a yawing moment.

Advantageously, the state may additionally or alternatively be determined on the basis of a parameter from a driver assistance system and / or an in-vehicle sensor system and / or a navigation system and / or an on-board computer. This embodiment relates in particular to a, preferably dynamic, measured distance of the means of locomotion to a third road user and / or a speed. For example, a past, past test date can be read out of the on-board computer as a state, which supports in particular the observance of a legally prescribed time test interval. Advantages arise in the context of investigations by technical monitoring associations and / or testing organizations, in particular with regard to the serviceability and / or emissions, in particular exhaust gases. Another state, preferably to be referred to from an on-board computer, may relate to a value that characterizes a driving history in terms of time and / or location and / or person-specific value, which is particularly important in the heavy-load transit of transport goods. But also with regard to the operational capability of pilots and / or captains, states in the form of electronic logbook entries can be used according to the invention.

The state is preferably determined on the basis of a personal property of the driver recognized by means of a sensor and / or a detection unit. In the context of the invention falls under the concept of a personal property of the driver's age and gender. Also, transient conditions are included, provided that they are relevant for the proper participation in traffic. These include, in particular, driver vital signs that are relevant for the attention, as can be detected, for example, by physiological sensors and / or probes. A personal characteristic of the driver can preferably be read in coded individually, for example in the form of a vehicle key individualized to the owner.

According to a preferred development of the invention not only a personal characteristic of the driver can be determined, but additionally or alternatively a personal characteristic of a, preferably further, occupants such as a passenger and / or carried passenger and / or a copilot. For this purpose, preferably, but not limiting, by means of a designated, preferably arranged in the vicinity of the occupant sensor and / or a detection unit, the personal property of the occupant can be detected. For example, by means of a seat occupancy sensor of a car, such as an interior camera, the presence of a child, but that, with respect to the traffic rule of an age-appropriate child seat to be provided, detected irregular omissions of such an accessory and an associated penalty such as a penalty fee are displayed.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the state is obtained in the form of a parameter set by means of an input by the driver and / or by another user. Preferably, an input can be made via a man-machine interface (so-called "human-machine interface"). If states preferably relate to a driver, it may nevertheless be preferred for the input to be made by another user. For example, in the case of a beginner novice, advantages result from the invention in that an authorized driving instructor enters a status via the learner's license (so-called "Learner's Permit"). This includes advantages in the event that derived therefrom driver-specific specific restrictions of traffic rules and / or reference references. Furthermore, within the scope of the invention, simulations of potential punitive measures are included, for example by illustrating the possible consequences of a potential rule violation by a hypothetical input. Manual inputs to states by other users relate to embodiments in which executive bodies, in particular police officers and / or authorities, enter a state, preferably manually and / or quasi-fixed, for example in the case of temporary or permanent withdrawal of an authorization license such as a driver's license.

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent for embodiments in which the desired reference and / or the penalty measure vary depending on a country and / or a zone and / or a region. Alternatively or additionally, a dependency on a type of means of transportation and / or a traffic situation such as congestion, weather, etc. may be taken into account. Alternatively or additionally, the invention takes into account the dependency of the target reference and / or the punishment according to a time, in particular of a time of day and / or a calendar. Particular advantages of the invention result from the consideration of an individual Strafmaßhistorie the driver. For this purpose, it is particularly preferred in the case of cumulative punitive measures or deletions of traffic register entries over time, to include dynamically varying penal histories of the driver.

Further preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention comprise two further steps: First, any intention of the user, preferably the driver, to comply with the desired reference, that is to say a traffic rule, can be determined by means of an automatically issued query. If the user confirms the intention, a direct intervention in a regulation of an electronic control device of the means of locomotion can take place automatically in order to trigger a change in the operation of the means of locomotion suitable for achieving the desired reference. For example, a cruise control and / or an electronic shutdown of the drive and / or the engine power and / or a control of the operating mode, in particular in a hybrid vehicle, and / or a kinematic reversal of a marine propeller or a turbine thrust can be controlled. Preferably, a query by means of a timer can provide only a limited time window for a positive confirmation by the user.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a user interface is proposed, which is set up to carry out a method according to the invention. The features, combinations of features and the advantages resulting therefrom result in accordance with those which have been carried out in connection with the first-mentioned aspect of the method of the invention.

The user interface according to the invention for supporting a driver of a means of locomotion when observing traffic rules comprises an evaluation unit which is set up to transmit a punitive measure associated with an impermissible deviation from a traffic rule via a first interface to an output unit on board the means of locomotion to display this to the driver , For example, the, preferably optical and / or acoustic and / or haptic, output unit as a screen and / or a Touchscreeen and / or a head-up display, in particular for a windscreen and / or for a helmet, and / or a wireless communication terminal as a mobile phone or "smartphone" and / or be designed as a turn signal system and / or as a voice output and / or as a warning sounder and / or as a vibration of a steering and / or seat device. Furthermore, a data storage is provided according to the invention as a further device unit. Preferably, data stored thereon can be regularly updated. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, an optional second interface may be included to an input unit for acquiring a parameter set by input of the driver and / or another user. Additionally or alternatively, an optional third interface to a sensor and / or a detection unit for obtaining a personal property of the driver may be included.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a means of transportation, such as a car, a van, a truck, a motorcycle, an aircraft and / or watercraft, is proposed, which comprises a user interface according to the invention.

Embodiments of the invention

1 shows a car 10 as a means of transport with a user interface according to the invention 2 , A driver 1 interacts with a touch screen, which has a display unit 3 and an input unit 4 having. The display unit 3 and the input unit 4 are information technology with an electronic evaluation unit 6 connected. On the one hand, the signals become the graphical representation of the user interface 2 from the evaluation unit 6 to the display unit 3 Posted. On the other hand, conversely, by means of input unit 4 from the driver 1 given driving wishes or commands, in particular to comply with a prevailing for a position P prevailing traffic rule V, here in the form of the "Tempo 50" road sign indicating a permissible inside the city center speed of 50 km / h as a target reference to the evaluation 6 be reported.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a front camera 5 as the first registration unit and an interior camera 8th as a second acquiring unit for acquiring a personal property of the driver 1 For example, in terms of his attention to fatigue, in the area of the upper windscreen of the car 10 arranged. In this case, the front camera, which is preferably provided anyway for another driver assistance system, such as a lane assistant, may be used 5 a locally applicable traffic rule V, for example, in the form of a road sign optically and / or sensory record. The optionally available front camera has data transmission 5 as well as the interior camera 8th likewise via information technology interfaces to the electronic evaluation unit 6 , The evaluation unit 6 is in turn with a data store 7 Information technology connected, so in the data memory 7 stored computer program code for carrying out a method according to the invention is provided. In addition, in the data memory 7 Computer program code included, which in particular on the one hand traffic rules V and / or associated predefined reference references and on the other hand, respective impermissible deviations from the target reference associated punitive measures for the driver 1 makes classifiable and / or assignable.

In the situation exemplified here, the user interface according to the invention uses 2 the information from the speedometer of the car 10 that the driver 1 Currently 23 km / h in the local center P as a position moves too fast, which he would fall under the applicable fine for Germany to filing the present invention fine catalog into a penalty interval of medium category of 21 - 25 km / h, which is both a fine and a Register entry would trigger. This is the driver according to the invention on the display unit 3 of the touchscreen as a warning.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adjacent penalty measures intervals are also displayed as desired reference interval levels, namely, for example, the next-lower reference reference interval level 16-20 km / h, which only triggers a fine fine payment, and the next higher one target reference interval level 26 - 30 km / h, which in addition to a fine with register entry may result in a temporary, several weeks, withdrawal of the driving license. In a still further preferred embodiment of the invention, the user interface according to the invention takes into account 2 in the expulsion of a potential consequence of withdrawal of the driver's license, the history of the driver 1 in the form of previous individual registrations in the road traffic register, as these can have a significant impact on the extent of the sanction.

In response to the clarification of potential facts and punitive measures, the driver 1 in a further preferred embodiment, an additionally offered assistance function of the user interface 2 activate, after which he can initiate a temporary Abregelung of the horsepower of the engine or limitation of the achievable maximum speed by interactive command.

This is an output unit 9 in terms of information technology, in particular with an electronic control unit 11 , For example, connected to a so-called "engine control unit" and / or with a cruise control, which the driver 1 by means of the input unit 4 over the way of the evaluation unit 6 can modify. On the other hand, here is illustrated that even a policeman 12 as another user by means of the input unit 4 an input to the evaluation unit 6 or to the electronic control unit 11 in order, for example, to establish a manual requirement in the exercise of an on-the-spot measure for traffic monitoring and compliance with the Highway Code as the executive body of the State. For example, this may concern a situation of on-the-spot traffic control after a radar station: doing so represents the police officer 12 towards the responsible driver 1 an officially measured speed X as the state of the car 10 (shown as vector arrow left in 1 ) firmly. In case of any bid violation due to excessive speed, the police officer 12 - instead of imposing a pecuniary fine and / or a temporary ban on driving - a punitive measure which may be altogether more lenient but nevertheless educational. For this he leads a theoretical instruction of the driver 1 using the user interface according to the invention 2 by simulating the grading of potential fines and / or notes in the traffic highway register (in Germany the so-called "Flensburg" points) and / or temporary or final driving bans by means of manual entries concerning hypothetical transgressions and on the display unit 3 of the touchscreen.

2 FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a method of assisting a driver of a vehicle in the present invention. FIG Compliance with traffic rules. In step 100 For example, a state of the means of locomotion, for example a driving speed, and / or a condition of the driver, for example his age or a status such as trial period or a vital function, is determined by information technology, this step 100 on board the means of transport. In one step 200 is first by a traffic rule, for example, often, but not limiting, a qualitative value such as a traffic-calmed zone, an associated reference reference, for example, often but not limiting, a quantitative value such as a maximum speed, predefined. And further, there will be an improper deviation in the step 100 determined state of the reference reference determined, in the example exceeding the maximum permissible speed in the form of a difference value. In one step 300 an indication is issued to the driver of a penalty associated with the deviation.

So put in 2 the steps 100 . 200 and 300 for the present invention essential steps. However, the steps 400 to 800 suggest, with dashed-lined Umkastelung, optional steps for a preferred embodiment of the invention to:

In particular, in the event of deviations in quantitative form, a staggered penalty or fine catalog may be available. If the target reference includes a plurality of target reference interval levels of penalties of different severity, can in one step 400 the at least one reference reference interval level and / or the plurality of reference reference interval levels are determined. In one step 500 the at least one reference reference interval level and / or the associated penalty measure can be displayed to the driver. It is to avoid repetition to the description of 1 referenced, in which an exemplary situation with a graduated fine catalog is described.

The process according to the invention may preferably comprise further steps 600 to 800 which together offer an additional automatic assistance function to the driver: in one step 600 For example, a query to the driver and / or other user can be automatically output in order to make it possible for him to intend to maintain the target reference in one step 700 to investigate. If it can be found that such an intention exists, that is to say in the affirmative, an automatic step will be taken 800 directly intervened in a control of an electronic control device of the means of locomotion to achieve a suitable to achieve the desired reference change in the operation of the means of locomotion. In other words, in the situation already described above by way of example of an existing impermissible speeding over, an automatically activated cruise control can decelerate the vehicle as desired to the still permissible maximum speed. Preferably, but not limiting, the triggering of such automatic assistance functions can be carried out by means of interactive gesture and / or voice commands.
