Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for capturing and exchanging data between moving objects and base stations, n base stations (ne IN) following one another at a distance, the objects being provided with a device which, after activation from the outside, initiates a transaction and the signals in each case to the base station in the defined zone in which the corresponding object is moving.
  • the invention can be used in systems for automatic fee collection.
  • Automatic fee collection systems are based on the fact that a base station uses microwaves or infrared to establish a connection to a device in the vehicle via which a transaction is processed, for example a debiting process from a check card storing an amount of money or the transfer of an identification number for subsequent debiting from an account becomes.
  • This transaction takes place as long as the vehicle or the device in the vehicle is within range of the transmitter and receiver of the base station. This is the case as long as the device is in the vehicle in a defined area, the communication zone.
  • An automatic toll collection system often consists of a number of fixed stations, each of which is arranged between entrances and exits on certain roads.
  • Such a fee collection system is known from DE 41 07 803 A1. If a device in a vehicle fails temporarily, for example because of an empty battery, there is no communication with a base station that has been driven through. Since the fees are not debited, the corresponding vehicle is photographed in order to be able to use the vehicle registration number to determine the vehicle owner to pay mostly much higher fees. This causes damage to the vehicle owner. Likewise, charges are not debited if a base station is temporarily out of order due to external influences, such as lightning strikes or the like. This damage is borne by the system operator.
  • the vehicle registration numbers of the vehicles which do not charge a fee at a fixed station can be determined.
  • the fact that no debiting takes place can happen, for example, in that the battery of the device in the vehicle is empty. If the empty battery is then exchanged for a new one, the invention enables the charges of the station at which the device has failed was to be debited at the next station. In the same way, the invention enables charges from one base station to the next base station to be debited if the first base station has failed due to external influences.
  • Means are provided at each base station that transmit an identifier of the base station.
  • Each device in the movable object has a memory in which the identifier of the base station is stored after the transaction has taken place. The time, for example the time of the transaction, is also stored in this memory.
  • the identifier and time stored in the memory change from station to station.
  • the memory must be battery-independent and only large enough to contain an identifier and a time, which is then overwritten at the next base station.
  • the data stored in the memory can be sent from the device to the base station. The content of the memory is then evaluated in a test module of the base station.
  • T V1 T V2 specified and in the most complex case the times are T V1 , given, where m represents a reasonable upper bound for the number of failed and repeatable transactions. results in such a barrier, for example.
  • the dimensioning of the time spans in the test module must be sensibly chosen according to the distances between the base stations and the permitted speeds. Values that are too large can lead to incorrect debits in the event that a vehicle leaves the motorway and later returns.
  • a transaction can therefore be carried out which comprises the transaction of the current base station and that of the station at which no transaction took place.
  • the identifier of the corresponding base station and the time are then stored in the memory.
  • it is also necessary to take the time into account since it would also be possible for a vehicle to leave a road on an exit in front of a base station and to drive back onto the road via the driveway behind the base station. Then of course no toll is due for the bypassed base station and therefore no toll may be deducted. However, this can be covered by predefined time intervals. Fees will then be collected retrospectively for all vehicles that have fallen below a certain time span since the time stored in the memory.
  • an automatic fee entry system advantages arise both for the operator of the system and for the user.
  • the operator escapes fewer fees because the reliability of the overall system is increased without having to double the individual devices to increase operational safety and the system is thus significantly more expensive.
  • the administrative effort in determining the vehicle owner, of the vehicles that did not initially pay at a fixed station is significantly reduced if fees can be paid at the subsequent station. It is also much more convenient for the user that he does not have to pay an increased fee just because his equipment in the vehicle has failed.
  • this system can of course also be used for other objects that move along predetermined routes.
  • a transaction does not necessarily have to be the debiting of a fee, but it can also be another identification or the like that takes place between the base station and the facility through communication.
  • the arrangements described below serve to locate moving objects within a predetermined zone and to carry out a transaction.
  • these moving objects can be vehicles 1, for example.
  • the predetermined zone 2 is then a section of a road on which communication with a base station 4 is made possible.
  • the specified zone 2 is also referred to as the communication zone.
  • Each vehicle 1 has a device which is preferably visible from the outside and which is arranged on the windshield and has a receiver, a transmitter, a processor which, for example, debits a required fee from a check card which stores an amount of money, and a memory, for example an EEPROM.
  • a vehicle is initially in zone 3, in which there is no communication. If it enters the communication zone 2 of a base station 4, the transaction takes place with the device. This can be done, for example, by a microwave signal that is transmitted by the antenna of the fixed station 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows a street 7 with a driveway 5 and an exit 6 on or from this three-lane street 7.
  • Different identifiers j, j-1 and j-2 are assigned to the base stations.
  • Vehicle 1 first passes base station 4 and receives the identifier j-2 there.
  • vehicle 1 passes base station 4 '.
