  • the invention relates to a device for the transmission of it received, sent from a central office or registration unit Traffic information relating to the traffic network to at least one terminal.
  • Such a device can be used in the area of traffic telematics Traffic information that a control center sends out to traffic telematics terminals to forward which are in vehicles. Can too through such a device traffic information, which from the Detect vehicle density, vehicle numbers or speeds etc. Detection units on roads etc. can be detected and on the device be sent out, transmitted to vehicles by radio.
  • the object of the invention is to create a device which is inexpensive, flexible and with the least possible assembly effort the transmission of from a central office or, as far as possible, not subject to sabotage Registration unit sent traffic information to at least one terminal enables.
  • the task is subject to the independent claim solved.
  • the device according to the invention is designed as a structural unit and thus easy and inexpensive to assemble. Since no wiring of components of the Device is required, sabotage by cutting cables is not expected. Moving the device to another position is also easy and possible inexpensively, since the device is designed as a structural unit; if they are on a bridge or building or an existing mast or If a shield is installed, no foundation is required.
  • the Device expediently has a processing unit which is programmed in such a way that from those received over the first communication channel Traffic information filtered out and / or those traffic information processed and / or processed for the location of the Device calculated next route sections are relevant, these Traffic information via the second communication channel of the device emitted, i.e. be transmitted on.
  • the program or the sequence control of the Device is designed so that an activation of the device in the device passing vehicles, especially in the device with an approx predetermined speed or minimum speed passing Vehicles takes place, only when activation of traffic data from the Device be forwarded.
  • the components of the devices are preferably integrated in a housing, which allows a particularly compact and weatherproof training.
  • the arrangement of all is particularly easy to install and is not susceptible to sabotage Components of the device on a common carrier, which in particular can be mounted on a bridge railing.
  • Components of the Device in particular solar cells, arranged to extend on the carrier or all components of the device e.g. B. in a housing at the end of the carrier be arranged.
  • An optimization of the use of the available solar energy is furthermore in particular by tracking the solar elements, in particular Solar cells, according to the daily course of the sun by means of a Tracking element, in particular electrical rotary drive, possible.

  • a forwarding center 4 designed here as a paging center
  • the for example also a mobile radio center, in particular short message center or / and be a DAB-RDS-TMC or other radio center or radio center can to a device 5 according to the invention for the further transmission of Traffic data to a (indicated) terminal 6 in
  • the number, length and speeds of the acquisition unit 1 are here Vehicles 8, 9, 10 measured by infrared, radar etc. Data about these values this Vehicles 8, 9, 10 etc. are (e.g. bundled) as traffic data to the Cellular center 2 sent, here a transmission of the traffic data as Short message (GSM-SMS etc.) takes place, but also possible via other radio etc. is. Acquired data from the mobile radio center 2 to the Traffic telematics center 3 forwarded in which also by others Mobile radio centers can receive data. In the traffic telematics center incoming traffic data bundled, processed and selected. Especially in the traffic telematics center traffic analyzes, traffic forecasts, Navigation information etc. for the entire transport network or selected for specific ones Roads etc. of the transport network.
  • traffic telematics center 3 From the traffic telematics center 3 revised traffic information to the forwarding center 4 handed over to devices 5 (at different positions) for transmission, here, for example, only traffic information for the device 5 Be made available, which depends on the position of the device 5 in the direction of travel along a certain route, such as traffic jams in Direction of travel behind the device 5.
  • the device 5 can be on Vehicles 7 (near the bridge 14) send traffic information if in Area of the detection unit 1 detects an anomaly, such as a traffic jam, accident, etc. becomes.
  • the sending of traffic information from the Forwarding center 4 to the device 5 can for example by Mobile radio, in particular mobile radio short message, paging, radio or others Radio transmission takes place.
  • the transfer via the second communication channel (12) can be carried out by radio, especially UHF, KW, MW or LW.
  • the transmission takes place especially by paging, paging, e.g. using RPC / No. 1 or Pocsag or Flex standard.
  • the device 5 has solar elements and a for energy supply Battery backup off. To the limited available solar energy To exploit, various energy saving options are foreseeable. Especially can select into the device via its receiving device incoming, over a first radio-based communication channel 11 (between 4th and 5) transmitted traffic information from the traffic telematics center 3 with regard to relevance, in particular local relevance for the device 5 passing vehicles take place so that the amount of data to be sent and thus the required transmission energy in the device 5 is reduced. It is also possible that the device 5 transmits only when it detects that vehicles happen. In particular, a wake-up zone 13 in front of the device 5 be provided. When a vehicle passes the wake-up zone, the device can 5 are woken up, i.e. for the further transmission of received Traffic information via the second radio-based communication channel Vehicles 6 are caused. (Detection of device 5 passing through Vehicles can be detected by infrared detection, heat radiation detection, radar etc. respectively.)
  • Further energy optimization of the device 5 is through automatic tracking the solar elements of the device according to the daily course of the sun, in particular by means of an electric rotary drive.
  • FIG. 1 shows, due to the design of the device including the Power supply as a structural unit to a universal flexible assembly different places easily and inexpensively.
  • the device 5 mounted on a bridge 14 over a road 15.
  • FIG. 2 shows details of the structure of the device and its assembly on a Bridge railing 16 of a bridge 14.
  • the device 5 is as a structural Unity trained.
