Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for acquiring data related to the use of vehicles in a fleet, comprising one module per vehicle, connected to at least any one of vehicle parameter sensors, at least one fixed item of equipment. , means for transferring information, between said module and said fixed equipment.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve this system.
  • An object of the invention is to link the memory device to an object whose risks of loss are less and whose absence prevents the vehicle from being started.
  • Another object of the invention is to link the memory device to an object which is necessarily returned at the end of the vehicle rental contract.
  • Another object is to provide a device making it possible to ensure that all the data relating to the use of the vehicle are indeed transferred into the memory at the end of the rental.
  • the memory is part of a key ring attached in a non-removable manner to the key.
  • the on-board module authorizes the vehicle to start, by unlocking the anti-theft device, only if there is a correlation between the vehicle identification data recorded in the module and identical data recorded in the key ring.
  • the data transfer from the module to the key chain is carried out each time the engine ignition is switched off.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a device for acquiring data linked to the use of the vehicles of a fleet, comprising one module per vehicle, connected to at least any one of vehicle parameter sensors, at least one fixed equipment, means for transferring information between said module is said fixed equipment, characterized in that said transfer means comprise for each vehicle a key chain permanently associated with the set of vehicle keys, each key chain, each module and each fixed item of equipment comprising a transmitter with its transmitting antenna and a receiver with its receiving antenna, these operating from autonomously, the transfer of data from said module to said key ring taking place at each engine stop, said module authorizing the starting of the vehicle only if there is a correlation between vehicle identification data, recorded in the identical module and data saved in the keychain.
  • the device of the invention thus allows reliable automatic entry in real time of the parameters linked to the use of vehicles, an automatic and immediate transfer of management and / or billing data, and finally an easy adaptation to any IT structure. management which will ensure the location of vehicles, maintenance reports, the control of all uses and the automatic edition of mission orders, invoices, ...
  • the device comprises a module 10, a key chain 20 and two fixed items of equipment 40A, 40B associated respectively with a computer structure 60A, 60B to constitute an agency A and an agency B.
  • this device can comprise a single fixed equipment installed in a single agency, or in the case of a vehicle rental company well established in a territory, dozens of fixed equipment installed each in an agency.
  • the module 10 is permanently mounted in a vehicle and in this case connected to a sensor 3 mounted on the vehicle's mileage indicator, to a fuel gauge 5, to the anti-theft contact 6, but it can be connected to other parameter sensors such as, for example, temperature and axle load sensors, sensors of different levels, ...
  • the key holder 20 is inseparable from a key 20A or from a set of keys, by means of a cord 24.
  • Each fixed item of equipment 40 is connected to any computer structure 60 external to the device.
  • the antennas 11, 12 of the module 10 the antennas 36, 37 of the key ring and the antennas 44A, 46A; 44B, 46B of the fixed equipment 40A, 40B, are represented externally to all these elements, but in fact all these antennas are integrated in the elements as can be seen in Figures 2, 4 and 5.
  • FIG. 2 shows the block diagram of the on-board module 10; this is connected to the vehicle parameter sensors mentioned above such as the sensor 3 mounted on the mileage indicator, which can be mechanical or electrical, the electric gauge 5 and the anti-theft contact 6, but it is also connected to the battery 4 of the vehicle, by means of a noise and surge protection 4A, a supply circuit 4B and a backup accumulator 4C.
  • the sensor 3, the gauge 5 and the anti-theft contact 6 are all separated from the module by protection and scaling devices respectively 3A, 5A, 6A but in addition the device 3A is separated from a microprocessor 15 by a counter 16 and the device 5A is separated from the microprocessor 15 by an analog-digital converter 17.
  • the microprocessor 15 is connected to the transmitter 13 provided with its antenna 11, and by means of a formatting 14A, to the receiver 14 provided with its antenna 12.
  • This module is finally connected to a read-only memory 18 and to a random access memory 19.
  • the elements such as the counter 16, the converter 17 and the two memories 18, 19 can be integrated on the same substrate with the microprocessor 15.
  • This module is a product that can be quickly mounted on the vehicle.
  • FIG. 3 shows, in exploded view, the key holder 20 composed of a mechanical part and an electrical part.
  • the mechanical part which was the subject of an earlier suggestion by the applicant, comprises a body 21, a mandrel 22 provided with a recess 23, and a cord 24, each end of which receives an end piece 25.
  • the electrical part is mounted on an extension 21A of the body 21, and comprises pins 26, batteries 28, a logic card 27A and a radio card 27B.
  • This pin short-circuits two contacts 29 and thus performs the powering of the key ring during the introduction of the keys.
  • This keychain is of course personalized, you can read, for example, the vehicle registration, the brand of the rental company, ...
  • FIG. 4 shows the block diagram of the key chain, this comprising a microprocessor 31, a read-only memory 32, a random access memory 38, these three elements 31, 32, 38 constituting the logic card 27A, then a transmitter 34 and its antenna 36, and a receiver 35 and its antenna 37, this receiver being connected to the microprocessor 31 by means of a formatting 33, these elements 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 constituting the radio card 27B.
  • This keychain is powered by batteries 28 and the power is applied, as described above, via the two contacts 29.
  • FIG. 5 shows the block diagram of a fixed item of equipment 40 which is either a counter reader / recorder or an automatic return terminal. Whatever the equipment, it includes a receptable 41 authorizing the presence of a single key chain, a logic card 42, a transmitter 43 and its antenna 44, a receiver 45 and its antenna 46, an interface 47 connected to an IT structure 60.
  • This equipment also comprises a front face 48 provided for example with indicator lights for the control of the operations to be carried out.
  • This equipment can also include a card reader for quick access by the system to the customer's personal and contractual data when issuing contracts.
  • this equipment further comprises a receipt printer 51 and a display screen 52, and as a variant this screen can be replaced by a speech synthesizer 53.
  • An LED indicates that the transfer operation is in progress and another LED indicates that the operation is complete.
  • the customer provided with his keychain takes charge of the vehicle, and after inserting a key in the ignition and switching on, there is a comparison of the identifiers of the keychain and of the module, this one authorizing the start of the vehicle only if there is a correlation of the identification data.
  • the module memorized the initial parameters such as for example, the hour, the kilometers, ... and reset the other parameters such as fault signals.
  • the module permanently records the variations in the parameters of use such as the kilometers traveled, the level of fuel in the tank, and it is at each cut of the engine that the module transfers its information to keychain.
  • the customer brings back the key chain which is inserted into the receptacle of the fixed equipment. There is then transfer of information from the key chain to the fixed equipment in order to carry out all management operations such as printing an invoice, the state of the anomalies to be checked, the state of availability of the fleet, maintenance, ...
  • the key chain keeps the data linked to the previous contract until the issuance of a new contract.
