Abstract

The device receives an updated nautical chart in a ship, or a map in an airplane. The bridge crew enters the scale, i.e. meter or feet. A sonar or a radio navigation arrangement compares in a computer, whether data of a drive calculation agree with the map data. If an accident or collision threatens, an alarm is triggered by the computer to notify the bridge crew. The computer controls the auto-pilot to avoid obstacles.

Description

Es kommt immer wieder vor, daß Schiffe auf Untiefen oder Land laufen, daß Flugzeuge an Bergen zerschellen. Das ist besonders bei Nebel oder nachts der Fall.It happens again and again that ships on shallows or land that planes crash into mountains. This is particularly the case in fog or at night.

Es würde nicht passieren, wenn die jeweilige Position des Schiffes/Flugzeuges immer bekannt wäre. Deshalb werden See- oder Landkarten in ein Lesegerät einge­ legt und deren Daten über Echolot und Funkpeiler lau­ fend mit den Daten der jeweiligen Schiffs- und Flug­ zeugposition verglichen. Droht eine Havarie oder Kol­ lision, so heult eine Alarmsirene auf, die Mannschaft kann das Steuer übernehmen,oder es wird vom Rechner, an den Kartenleser-, Echolot- und Funkpeilerdaten weitergegeben werden, ein solcher Kurs an den Auto­ piloten gegeben, daß eine Kollision vermieden wird.It wouldn't happen if that position of the ship / plane would always be known. Therefore sea or maps are inserted into a reader sets and their data on sonar and radio direction finder fend with the data of the respective ship and flight tool position compared. An accident or col lision, an alarm siren howls, the team can take over the steering, or it is from the computer, on the card reader, sounder and direction finder data passed such a course to the car pilots given that a collision is avoided.

Das Alarmsignal hört nach der Kursoptimierung auf.The alarm signal stops after course optimization.

Schiffs- und Flugverkehr werden viel sicherer.Shipping and air traffic are becoming much safer.

Es ist natürlich Vorbedingung, daß immer die neuesten See- und Landkarten und Leucht- und Funkpeilverzeich­ nisse an Bord sind. Diese können von einer Zentral­ stelle auf Mikrofilm jährlich oder nach wesentlichen Änderungen auch häufiger neu zur Verfügung gestellt werden.It is, of course, a prerequisite that always the latest Nautical and land maps and light and radio bearing directory nisse are on board. These can be from a central put on microfilm annually or by essential Changes are also made available more often become.

Der Kartenleser kann auf verschiedene Maßstäbe und verschiedene Tiefen (Höhen) Angaben (Meter, Fuß) ein­ gestellt werden.The card reader can be of various scales and different depths (heights) information (meters, feet) be put.

Bei schwieriger Navigation (Landnähe, Flußfahrten) gibt der Kartenleser auch die durch Echolot geprüften Tie­ fen der voraussichtlichen Fahrt per Computerstimme laut und deutlich für die Brückenbesatzung heraus. Der Rudergänger kann danach seinen Kurs einrichten. With difficult navigation (near the country, river trips) there the card reader also uses the sounder-tested tie the expected journey by computer voice loud and clear for the bridge crew. Of the Rowers can then set up their course.  

Falls vorhanden, hilft ein fast horizontal auf den jeweiligen Kurs nach vorne ausgerichtetes Unterwasser­ radar bei der Navigation in schwierigen Gewässern. Ebenso hilft ein auf den jeweiligen Kurs ausgerich­ tetes Radar bei der Flugnavigation.If available, a helps almost horizontally on the respective course forward-facing underwater radar when navigating difficult waters. It also helps to align yourself with the respective course radar in flight navigation.

Der Kartenleser kann auch die Tauchtiefen oder freien Flughöhen bei der voraussichtlichen Fahrt/Flug in ge­ wisser Zeit prüfen und rechtzeitig Alarm geben. Da­ durch werden weitere Kollisionen vermieden.The card reader can also use the depths or free Flight heights for the expected trip / flight in ge check the time and give the alarm in time. There by avoiding further collisions.

Claims (2)

1. In ein Lesegerät wird bei Schiffen eine Seekarte und bei Flugzeugen eine Landkarte eingelegt, die auf dem neuesten Stand ist. Die Brückenbesatzung tastet den Maßstab (Meter, Fuß) ein.
  • 1.1 Mit Echolot und Funkpeiler wird im Rechner vergli­ chen, ob die Daten aus der Fahrtberechnung und der durch die vorne gemessenen Daten mit den Kartendaten übereinstimmen.
  • 1.2 Droht eine Havarie oder Kollision, wird vom Rechner Alarm ausgelöst, die Brückenbesatzung darauf aufmerk­ sam gemacht.
  • 1.3 Der Rechner kann auch automatisch auf den Steuer­ piloten einwirken und dem ermittelten Hindernis aus­ weichen.
  • 1.4 Die Flughöhe oder die Wassertiefe für die Fahrt voraus kann auch laut ausgerufen werden.
1. A nautical chart is inserted into a reader for ships and a map is updated for airplanes. The bridge crew scans the scale (meters, feet).
  • 1.1 The sonar and radio direction finder are used to compare whether the data from the trip calculation and the data measured from the front match the map data.
  • 1.2 If an accident or collision threatens, the computer triggers an alarm and the bridge crew is made aware of it.
  • 1.3 The computer can also automatically act on the control pilot and avoid the obstacle determined.
  • 1.4 The flight altitude or the water depth for the journey ahead can also be called out loud.
2. Vorteile
  • 2.1 Der Kartenleser erhöht die Sicherheit.
  • 2.2 Die Navigation wird einfacher.
  • 2.3 Mit dem Kartenleser ausgestattete Fahrzeuge erhalten wahrscheinlich günstigere Versicherungsprämien.
  • 2.4 Die Geräte sind bis auf den Rechner ohnehin da. Dessen zusätzliche Kosten sind gering.
2. Advantages
  • 2.1 The card reader increases security.
  • 2.2 Navigation becomes easier.
  • 2.3 Vehicles equipped with the card reader are likely to receive cheaper insurance premiums.
  • 2.4 The devices are there anyway except for the computer. Its additional costs are low.
