Abstract

Adhesive sheet with bar-code on it is fixed to e.g. roof of bus. Laser scanner is mounted on bridge or mast over street. Scanner reads bar-code to identify vehicle and transfers read data to light signal control to provide preferential treatment for vehicle.

Description

Für die Priorisierung von Bussen an lichtsignalgesteuerten Knotenpunkten ist es erforderlich, dass der sich annähernde Bus sich anmeldet, damit die Lichtsignalsteuerung entsprechend reagiert. Dies erfolgt heute in der Regel über rechnergesteuerte Betriebsleitsysteme, mit denen Fahrzeuge in Funkverbindung stehen. Die Einrichtung der Busse mit entsprechenden Funkgeräten ist insbesondere für flexibel eingesetzte Fahrzeuge (Schülerbusverkehr, Reisebusverkehr, Linienverkehr) zu kostspielig.For the prioritization of buses at light signal controlled nodes it is necessary for the approaching bus to register so that the Light signal control reacts accordingly. This is done today in usually about computer-controlled operations control systems with which vehicles in radio communication stand. The buses are set up with appropriate radio equipment especially for flexibly used vehicles (school bus traffic, coach traffic, Regular service) too expensive.

Insofern war es notwendig, eine Identifizierungsmöglichkeit für Busse zu entwickeln, die am Fahrzeug selbst möglichst einfach anzubringen und kostengünstig ist. Deshalb wurde versucht, die im Warenverkehr übliche Einscannung von Barcodes auf den fließenden Verkehr in Städten zu übernehmen. Der erfindungsgemäße Gegenstand bezieht sich deshalb auf die Lesbarkeit von Barcodes bei bisher unüblichen Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 70 Stundenkilometer und darüber hinaus. Weiterhin gehören zu erfindungsgemäßen Gegenstand entsprechende Barcodes, die z. B. als Klebefolien auf dem Dach oder sonstigen geeigneten Stellen von Fahrzeugen angebracht werden. An der Straße selbst sind in Form von Brücken und / oder Auslegern Laserscanner montiert, die für den Allwetterbetrieb geeignet sind und entweder permanent oder durch Ansteuerung den Barcode lesen und das zu erfassende Fahrzeug identifizieren. Das identifizierte Fahrzeug wird über Datenübertragung der Lichtsignalsteuerung gemeldet und dort wird die Bevorrechtigung umgesetzt.In this respect it was necessary to have an identification option for buses to develop that as easy as possible to attach to the vehicle itself and inexpensive is. That is why an attempt was made to use the scanning that is customary in goods traffic from barcodes to the flowing Traffic in cities to take over. The subject of the invention therefore refers to the readability of barcodes in previous versions unusual Speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour and beyond. Continue to belong to the subject of the invention corresponding barcodes, the z. B. as adhesive films on the roof or other suitable locations of vehicles. On the street themselves are in the form of bridges and / or cantilever laser scanners mounted for all-weather operation are suitable and either permanently or by controlling the Read the barcode and identify the vehicle to be registered. The identified vehicle is about data transfer the traffic signal control and there the privilege is given implemented.

Die benötigten Anlagenteile und deren Ausbildung kann den Zeichnungen entnommen werden. 1 zeigt eine Folie mit einem Barcode (1), die am Fahrzeug (am Besten am Dach) angebracht wird. 2 zeigt den an einem Mast (3) über Kopf angebrachten Laserscanner (4), der wetterfest ausgebildet ist (z. B. mit Heizung) und eine Funk- oder Standleitungsverbindung zur Lichtsignalsteuerung besitzt.The required system parts and their training can be found in the drawings. 1 shows a slide with a barcode ( 1 ), which is attached to the vehicle (preferably on the roof). 2 shows the on a mast ( 3 ) overhead laser scanner ( 4 ), which is weatherproof (e.g. with heating) and has a radio or dedicated line connection for light signal control.

Das System könnte auch dazu verwendet werden, Nummernschilder über Barcodes z. B. auf dem Dach aufzubringen, sodass die Priorisierung dann einsetzt, wenn zugelassene Fahrzeug identifiziert worden sind. Darüber hinaus gibt es ein Vielzahl von anderen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für dieses Verfahren.The system could also be used Number plates above Barcodes e.g. B. on the roof, so that prioritization then starts when approved vehicles have been identified. Furthermore there are a variety of other uses for this method.

Der Vorteil gegenüber den bisher im Einsatz befindlichen Detektionsverfahren liegt darin, dass mit ganz geringem Aufwand am Fahrzeug und vertretbarem Aufwand an der Straße oder anderen Verkehrswegen, z. B. Eisenbahnen, die Möglichkeit besteht, einzelne Fahrzeuge aus der Gesamtmenge zu selektieren. Eine Vielzahl von Vorgängen im Verkehrsbereich können auf diese Weise automatisiert werden.The advantage over those previously used Detection method is that with very little effort on the vehicle and reasonable effort on the road or other traffic routes, z. B. railways, the possibility consists in selecting individual vehicles from the total quantity. A variety of operations in the transport sector be automated in this way.
