Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for locating objects within a defined zone and for exchanging data between the objects and a base station, the base station having means for receiving the data transmitted by the objects via microwaves.
  • Such an arrangement is e.g. B. from FR - A - 2 624 677 known.
  • the automatic payment of toll fees is listed as one possible application of the query arrangement described therein. Every vehicle that has to pay a toll fee is equipped with an automatic debiting device which has a transmitting / receiving device. This transmission / reception device is activated by a transmission / reception device that is permanently installed at the toll station, and a dialogue is started between the two. The debiting device first books the toll fee and then sends a receipt for it to the transmitting / receiving device of the toll station. During this process, the vehicles are individually guided past the transceiver.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying an arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset with which each of a large number of objects moving freely in a predetermined zone can be localized and with which a data exchange can be carried out.
  • An arrangement realized according to the invention for toll collection of vehicles has proven to be particularly advantageous. This is because the arrangement is able to locate each one of several vehicles driving on a multi-lane road and to record receipt messages via the toll debit. The vehicles can even change lanes. Under these circumstances, the flow of traffic is hardly impeded during toll collection.
  • Vehicles 1 and the predetermined zone 2 can be a section of a road. Within this zone 2, it should be possible to locate each individual vehicle 1 located therein and to record data transmitted by it, even if the vehicles travel along several lanes and possibly also make lane changes in the process.
  • Each vehicle 1 is equipped with a device which is visible from the outside and is preferably arranged on the windshield and has a receiver, a transmitter and a processor which, for example, debits a required toll fee from a check card which can be used to store an amount of money.
  • a device which is visible from the outside and is preferably arranged on the windshield and has a receiver, a transmitter and a processor which, for example, debits a required toll fee from a check card which can be used to store an amount of money.
  • their toll collection devices are activated by a microwave signal, which a beacon 3 installed in front of zone 2 sends out to all vehicles 1.
  • each vehicle 1 is checked to see whether it has debited the prescribed toll.
  • a base station 4 set up at the exit of zone 2 sends out a microwave signal which activates the transmitters of the toll fee debiting devices on the vehicles, so that they send an acknowledgment signal.
  • the base station 4 locates each individual vehicle in zone 2 and checks whether it sends out an acknowledgment signal. If this is not the case, z. B. by photographing the vehicle's license plate and thus the vehicle owner can be determined so that the toll can be collected later by this.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show two exemplary embodiments of an arrangement for locating the individual vehicles 1 and for receiving the acknowledgment signals.
  • FIG. 2 The simplest embodiment is shown in FIG. 2.
  • a receiver E1 ... E7 assigned to each antenna A1 ... A7 receives the information received by the antenna of the vehicle detected by its radiation lobe. All signals demodulated by the receivers E1 ...
  • E7 are evaluated in a processor 5 and it is determined whether each vehicle passing through zone 2 has sent a correct acknowledgment signal. If, as already mentioned above, a vehicle is ascertained that has not sent a receipt for a proper toll payment, a camera is pointed at the vehicle and it is photographed so that its number plate is recorded. The position control of the camera depends on the antenna A1 ... A7 that the vehicle has located with the incorrect receipt.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 3 in turn has several antennas A8 ... A14, which are controlled in a time-variant manner in contrast to the arrangement described above.
  • zone 2 is designed with induction loops b (indicated by a dashed grid in FIGS. 1, 3) so that each vehicle can be registered at any location within zone 2.
  • the induction loops 6 emit their signals to a control device 7, which generates a control signal for a branching circuit 8 which switches the antennas A8 ... A14 to receivers E8 and E9.
  • the control signal has the effect that that antenna A8 ... A14 is switched to reception whose radiation lobe detects the area of zone 2 in which an induction loop has registered a vehicle.
  • the antennas A9, A11 and A14 are currently switched to reception because there is a vehicle in each of the sub-areas of zone 2 that they cover.
  • the other dotted antennas A8, A10, A12 and A13 are not activated. Since not all antennas are usually switched to reception at the same time, fewer receivers E8, E9 than antennas A8 ... A14 are available. It would also be possible to switch the antennas controlled by induction loops to only one receiver in time-division multiplexing.
  • the processor 5 has the function already described above.
  • the control device 7 could take over the already mentioned position control of the camera, wherein it derives a position control signal both from the induction loop signals and from the antenna reception signals recorded in the processor 5.
  • phased aray the individual antenna elements of which generate a swiveling radiation lobe which can be aligned with each sub-area of zone 2 occupied by an induction loop.
  • the control device 7 would control phase shifters of the antenna as a function of the induction loop signals. Not only the direction, but also the shape of the radiation lobe could be adapted to the position and contour of the respective vehicle with a phase-controlled antenna.
  • each of the antennas mentioned above dimension them so that their radiation lobe has a flat top beam within the communication zone, a constant flux density in the direction of the road and the highest possible decoupling from the neighboring lane.
  • the toll charge debiting devices on the vehicles send out their acknowledgment signals, they are - as already mentioned above - activated by a microwave signal sent out by the base station 4.
  • the devices could obtain the energy required for transmitting the acknowledgment signals from this microwave signal.
  • Said microwave signal can either be emitted by the existing antennas A1 ... A14, or there is a separate antenna which transmits the microwave signal to the entire zone 2.
