Abstract

The automatic monitoring station is designed to detect the presence of road vehicles and to distinguish between different vehicle types. As the vehicle passes into the test area, a number of optical detectors are triggered as well as a pressure sensor inset into the road surface. The optical sensors are used to identify the differences between commercial vehicles, private cars and motor cycles. Outputs from the sensors are fed to a monitoring unit. The system is used for automatic evaluations to determine the necessary charges to be made at toll-ways and bridges.

Description

Einrichtung zur automatischen Klassifizierung von Fahr- Device for the automatic classification of driving

zeugarten in Mautstellen Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur automatischen Klassifizierung.von Fahrzeugarten in Mautstellen. types of vehicles in toll booths The invention relates to a device for the automatic classification of vehicle types in toll stations.

An Mautstellen sind für verschiedenartige Fahrzeuge unterschiedliche Gebühren zu zahlen. Meist muß das Abfertigungspersonal die Fahrzeuge unterscheiden in PRW und Motorrad, in IKW mit Zweiachsen, in PKW oder LRW mit drei Achsen und LKW mit mehr als drei Achsen. Die visuelle Unterscheidung durch das Abfertigungspersonal erfordert jedoch viel Zeit. There are different types of vehicles at toll booths Fees to be paid. Most of the time, the handling staff has to differentiate between the vehicles in PRW and motorcycle, in IKW with two axles, in passenger cars or LRW with three axles and Trucks with more than three axles. The visual differentiation by the handling staff however, requires a lot of time.

Um den Verkehr flüssiger zu halten, bemüht man sich, die Abfertigung weitestgehend zu automatisieren. 3azu gehört auch, daß die Fahrzeugarten automatisch erfaßt und klassifiziert werden. In order to keep the traffic flowing more smoothly, one tries to handle the check-in to automate as much as possible. 3This also means that the vehicle types are automatic can be recorded and classified.

Die Aufgabe besteht daher darin, eine Einrichtung zur automatischen Klassifizierung von Fahrzeugarten zu schaffen.The task is therefore to provide a device for automatic Create classification of vehicle types.

Die Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung durch die im Patentanspruch angegebenen Maßnahmen gelöst.The problem is solved according to the invention by that specified in the claim Measures resolved.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand von Zeichnungen an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. In Fig. 1 ist die Gesamteinrichtung dargestellt, in Fig. 2 die Anordnung an der Meßstelle.The invention is illustrated below with reference to drawings of an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail. In Fig. 1 the overall device is shown, in Fig. 2 the Arrangement at the measuring point.

In Fig. 1 ist eine'Fahrbshn 1 innerhalb einer Nahtstelle dargestellt. Zu jeder Fahrbahn gehört eine Abfertigungsstelle 2. Dort befindet sich auch ein Befehlsgeber 3 zum Abruf der Meßwerte. In etwa 20,m Entfernung von einer Haltelinie 4'an der Abfertigungsstelle befindet sich eine Meßstelle 5.In Fig. 1 a'Fahrbshn 1 is shown within a seam. A dispatch point 2 belongs to each lane. There is also one there Command transmitter 3 for calling up the measured values. About 20 m away from a stop line 4 'at the dispatch point is a measuring point 5.

In Fig. 2 ist die Meßstelle im einzelnen dargestellt. Sie besteht aus einer Lichtschranke 6, einem Lichtvorhang 7 und einem druckempfindlichen Sensor 8 in der Fahrbahn.In Fig. 2, the measuring point is shown in detail. she consists from a light barrier 6, a light curtain 7 and a pressure-sensitive sensor 8 in the lane.

Die Lichtschranke ist so hoch angebracht, daß sie nur LEW's 5 erfassen kann, nicht aber PKW's oder Motorräder. Sie dient daher zur Messung der Höhe eines Fahrzeuges. Zur Feststellung der Anwesenheit dient der Lichtvorhang 7. Als druckempfindlicher Sensor, der zur Zählung der Achsen verwendet wird, ist ein Vibro-Coax-Kabel 8 in der Fahrbahndecke verlegt. Mit dem Lichtvorhang werden auch Anhänger Kupplungen erfaßt, so daß ein Zugwagen mit Anhänger als eine Einheit signalisiert wird.The light barrier is mounted so high that it only covers 5 LEWs can, but not cars or motorcycles. It is therefore used to measure the height of a Vehicle. The light curtain 7 is used to determine the presence. It is more sensitive to pressure Sensor used to count the axes is a Vibro-Coax cable 8 in laid the road surface. Trailer couplings are also made with the light curtain detected so that a towing car with trailer is signaled as a unit.

Die in der Meßstelle anfallenden Signale werden einer nicht dargestellten Auswerteeinheit zugeführt. Dort werden sie in Klassifizierungssignale umgewandelt, dezimal ausgegeben und anschließend gespeichert. Da sich zwischen der Meßstelle und der Abfertigungsstelle auch mehrere Fahrzeuge befinden können, ist eine zusätzliche Anwesenheitsmeldung vor der Abfertigungsstelle erforderlich. Dazu dient der Befehlsgeber 3 in der Abfertigungsstelle. Beim Betätigen dieses Befehlsgebers wird die nächstgespeicherte Information abgerufen. Diese Angaben liegen dann entweder dem Abf ertigungspersonal vor oder sie können zur weiteren Automatisierung einem nachgeschalteten Gerät zugeführt werden.The signals occurring in the measuring point are not shown Evaluation unit supplied. There they are converted into classification signals, output in decimal format and then saved. Since between the measuring point and The dispatch center can also have several vehicles, is an additional one Notification of presence in front of the dispatch point is required. The command generator is used for this 3 in the dispatch office. When this command generator is activated, the next saved Information retrieved. This information is then either available to the handling staff before or they can be fed to a downstream device for further automation will.

Der Vorteil dieser Einrichtung nach der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Verkehrsfluß an einer Mautstelle beschleunigt werden kann und daß beider Vorfahrt des Fahrzeuges bei der Abfertigungsstelle schon alle gebührenrelevanten Angaben zur Verfügung stehen.The advantage of this device according to the invention is that the flow of traffic at a toll station can be accelerated and that both right of way of the vehicle at the clearance office, all information relevant to the charges be available.
