Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile data terminal for a taxi vehicle, with a taximeter module, which has a switchable switch to multiple tariff levels for evaluating tariff switching information and instructions from a fixed taxi center in such a way that by radio transmission of information the taximeter into one of the taxi center is taxable at the specified tariff level.
  • each taxi vehicle is in constant radio communication with a head office, in particular with the aim of better coordinating and distributing the centrally incoming orders to the individual taxi vehicles.
  • a transmission and reception system is installed in each taxi vehicle connected to a control center, via which the use of the vehicles is controlled by verbal transmission.
  • DE-AS 2 037 048 has disclosed an automatically controllable tariff switching device.
  • This device serves primarily the purpose of switching to so-called special tariffs, such as night, weekend, holiday tariffs and the like, without the driver being able to influence them.
  • This device is designed as an additional unit for the existing radio intercom.
  • the central tariff switching signals are emitted at regular time intervals, which control an electronic time relay of a time circuit into self-retention.
  • the contacts assigned to the relay circuit are actuated and bridge, for example, a tariff level switch which can be switched in series by means of a step switch via a shaft.
  • this has the effect, for example, that during a time range in which only tariff II is to be used, the taximeter device adjusts itself directly to tariff II through tariff I through tariff I.
  • This device primarily serves to ensure that drivers are treated equally and prevents unauthorized tariff switching to higher tariff levels. However, it does not significantly facilitate or secure the exchange of the mutual information between the taxi center and the individual taxi driver.
  • Document EP-A-0 079 401 describes a method and a circuit in an electronic taximeter for optimally distributing a function assignment for the following state to the four available control buttons.
  • the display shown for this purpose is usually part of the taximeter housing and as such is only divided into taximeter-specific display fields, such as fare, surcharge, tax, etc., so that information and data deviating from this is not possible.
  • a taximeter device known from GB-A-1 602 274 also represents an autonomous device without any peripherals and is combined in one structural unit and can only be operated by the driver in the sense of calculating and displaying a fare.
  • This device additionally has a device in which vehicle data and tariff constants can be entered by the driver into the taximeter device by means of a punch card input; however, this happens without any influence or communication with the head office.
  • This is also a taximeter, which is installed as a single device in the vehicle and is only subject to handling by the driver; d. H. it does not have any separate means for correspondence with a central office, nor can travel data be evaluated directly in a central EDP.
  • the document DD-A-209 922 describes an electronic taximeter with receipt output.
  • the internal connections of the modules for the input, display and output unit with the microprocessor unit are symbolically indicated in a block diagram.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a system for taxi vehicles that can be combined as required, which allows a secure, largely independent of the taxi driver coordination between a taxi center and a number of connected taxi vehicles and serves a mutually controllable transmission and logging of information and data that an optimized operational control can be carried out with a central influence.
  • the solution consists of a mobile data terminal for a taxi vehicle, which is characterized by a combination of individual, separately installable modules that can be installed in a taxi vehicle, consisting of a module for a central unit with an integrated taximeter module, an internal program memory, a data memory and several Input-output interfaces, further from a send / receive terminal for a mutual transmission of taximeter data, tax information and verbal instructions, from a display terminal, which is designed and can be installed as an independent display device, from a printer terminal and from a reading module for the evaluation of Data and information provided to data carriers.
  • An essential advantage of the invention lies in the modular structure of the specified combination.
  • a processor-controlled central unit as the centerpiece of the mobile data terminal has all the necessary interfaces, which enable the terminals created using modular technology to be expanded or connected as required.
  • This concept creates the basis for a mobile data station in a taxi vehicle via the central unit with an integrated taximeter module, which opens the way for new additional taximeter functions beyond the standard function of a taximeter.
  • the central unit is provided with an interface for connecting a reading module for evaluating value cards or authorization cards.
  • the data which is dependent on the taxi vehicle, goes directly from a donor module via an additional interface to the central unit, where it is branched on the one hand into the taximeter module for program-controlled determination of a fare, and on the other hand, this data is made available for the transmission and logging of taxi vehicle data in a data processing system in the taxi center.
  • the core of a mobile data terminal is a central unit 1 with an integrated taximeter module.
  • the central unit 1 contains a program memory and a data memory for the temporary storage of information.
  • a transmitter module 12 can be connected via a line 7 to the interface 2 of the central unit 1 in order to take over data dependent on the taxi vehicle.
  • a line connection 8 leads via the interface 3 in the central unit 1 to a transceiver terminal 13.
  • a line connection 9 is provided for the connection of a reading module 14 to the interface 4 of the central unit 1 for taking over data from a prepaid card or identity card 18.
  • a line 10 leads before the interface 5 of the central unit 1 to a printer terminal 15 for program-controlled logging of both internally determined data in the central unit 1 and data from a fixed taxi center 19.
  • an interface 6 is arranged for the decoupling of all information via a line connection 11 on a display field 17 of a display terminal 16. A transfer of information between the fixed taxi center 19 and the mobile data terminal in the taxi vehicle and vice versa takes place via conversion of digital signals into frequency transmit and receive signals.
  • a radio modem is provided in the central unit 1.
  • the transmission of text information or taximeter control data from the taxi center 19 to a mobile data terminal takes place via the radio communication channel as an alternative to radio communication.
  • the radio communication is hardly affected because the transmission times are very short.
  • a handy microphone-loudspeaker combination 20 is provided for the radio two-way traffic, which is connected to the transmitting / receiving terminal 13 via a pluggable cable 21.
  • information output by the fixed taxi center 19 can be displayed in the display field 17 of the display terminal 16.
  • this information and the data determined via the taximeter module in the central unit 1 can be printed out on a document strip 22 of the printer terminal 15. Even if a taxi driver is not in his vehicle at the moment or his attention is focused on the traffic situation during a current driving order, he receives the information printed on a receipt in the form of a written message. Information that can be misinterpreted, for example, due to a hearing error when placing an order via radiotelephony is thus completely switched off.
  • the functions required for a taxi operation for operating the taximeter module in the central unit 1 can also optionally be triggered via autonomous actuating means 23 integrated in the mobile central unit 1.
  • autonomous actuating means 23 integrated in the mobile central unit 1.
  • four function keys 24, 25, 26, 27 are provided in the central unit 1, by means of which the program can be initiated according to a program stored in the system ROM of the taximeter module Function steps can be triggered.
  • the central unit 1 in a taxi vehicle can be converted to autonomous operation by means of a transmission of a signal code from the fixed taxi center 19.
  • This switchability to an autonomous mode of operation is necessary for using the mobile data terminal outside the range of the paging system in the fixed taxi center 19.
  • the entire data can be stored in intermediate stores of the central unit 1 and / or can be logged via the print terminal 15 .
