Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for creating warning notices for drivers of a motor vehicle using Sensor data from at least one participating in traffic Motor vehicle.
  • the invention further relates to a traffic warning device for a motor vehicle to issue warning notices the driver.
  • Today's traffic announcement system is not satisfactory because it takes a significant amount of time until relevant traffic events are reported and then be broadcast via radio, with many road users miss the announcement of the traffic announcement because they just turned off the car radio at this time or have tuned into a station that does not have traffic information broadcasts.
  • the latter problem can be solved by setting up a Traffic radio channel are fixed, the last traffic reports be stored in a memory and therefore can be listened to at any time.
  • the memory is there organized in such a way that newly arriving messages are saved to the oldest Eliminate messages from memory (first-in-first-out).
  • This FCD (Floating Car Data) is used exclusively for the detection of traffic congestion and for the generation of Traffic jam reports and for determining and evaluating travel times.
  • a corresponding traffic jam warning from the head office numerous can be generated and sent current data from road users are evaluated in order with the necessary security for the presence of a traffic jam to be able to close.
  • This also applies to the FCD procedure a significant system response time may occur between the occurrence of a traffic jam and the generation of a corresponding traffic jam warning passes. During this response time the traffic jam is caused by moving further into the dust area Vehicles magnified and the risk of through the Accidents caused by traffic jams, especially rear-end collisions, not eliminated.
  • other accident-prone circumstances are not taken into account, such as local smoothing points due to black ice, traces of oil or similar
  • the present invention addresses the problem that Creation of warnings for the driver of a motor vehicle still speed up.
  • the method is as mentioned in the introduction Art according to the invention characterized in that the Warning notices in the motor vehicle itself, evaluating the on-board sensor data are created and output.
  • the respective sensor data is transmitted via the method from vehicle to vehicle and are the warnings evaluating the sensor data created in other vehicles and / or the on-board sensor data created and output.
  • the method according to the invention is based on both solution variants on the realization that in modern motor vehicles already so many sensors are available or easy to implement are whose output signals are more relevant for the assessment of traffic Situations that can be used are an evaluation in the vehicle to create relevant warnings is possible for the driver.
  • sensors already present in many vehicles This type are temperature sensors for the outside temperature Slip sensor of an ABS control or a traction control, Light switch, hazard warning light switch, crash sensor an airbag, rain / moisture sensor of a wiper control etc.
  • Warning notices are possible if sensor data from vehicle be transferred to vehicle or exchanged so that a larger information base for creating warnings, especially taking into account the vehicle in front Traffic is possible.
  • the evaluation of the sensor data, the on-board and / or the received sensor data can preferably be included otherwise received and stored traffic-relevant Information to be made.
  • traffic-relevant Information can for example via a traffic radio channel received by a car radio and stored in a memory for current traffic reports and if necessary also passed from vehicle to vehicle.
  • suitable traffic warning device for a motor vehicle to issue warnings to the driver is according to the invention characterized by an evaluation device for evaluation of sensor data from motor vehicle sensors and for generation and issue of warnings.
  • the evaluation device preferably numerous sensors of the Motor vehicle connected.
  • the traffic warning device is furthermore a receiving device for receiving other motor vehicles has emitted sensor data by the Evaluation device for forming warning notices preferably evaluated in connection with the on-board sensor data become.
  • the receiving device is expedient at the same time as a transmitter for sending your own sensor data to other vehicles.
  • the traffic warning device also preferably has one Evaluation device connected receiving device for traffic-relevant messages in a mathematically evaluable form on, for example, by receiving broadcasts Traffic reports via a separate traffic radio channel, which are preferably in a known protocol, for example sent out according to the Alert-C protocol and accordingly can be evaluated in the receiver.
  • Traffic information provides information about the Location to which the traffic information or sensor data refers relate, must be transmitted implicitly or explicitly. Becomes vehicle-to-vehicle communication only with a short Realized range, the location may not be necessary. For the rest, it will be useful to provide a position to generate in the motor vehicle, for example by a satellite-based position determination, as in particular is included in vehicle location systems.
  • the location is in a localization code like it is provided in the Alert-C protocol, transferred and then with the corresponding localization codes in the broadcast traffic reports comparable.
  • the warnings can be output visually and / or acoustically, but also tactile, for example in the form of vibrations of the Steering wheel, are issued.
  • output signals from N sensors arrive 1 to an interface device 2, which is also connected to a Motor vehicle bus 3 is connected, on which a data exchange takes place between actuators and sensors of the motor vehicle and consequently also relevant for the traffic situation Information can be transmitted by the Interface device 2 can be detected.
  • Additional Information 4 can, for example, from a GPS module for position determination be.
  • Sensor data and information reach an evaluation level 5, the sensor data with predetermined algorithms sensors 1 and the other information from FIGS. 3 and 4 evaluates and from this generated warnings in an output device 6 acoustically with a loudspeaker 7 and / or be output optically with a display device 8.
  • the received sensor data and other received data Information 4 can be stored in a memory 11 and then be used for further evaluation.
  • the additional Information 4 can have its own antenna or can also be received via the antenna 9, if this as a "multi-signal" antenna is trained.
  • a warning message using the sensor data of the on-board Sensors 1 can result from the fact that the sensor signals an outside temperature sensor, a rain / humidity sensor and a traction slip sensor indicate that the outside temperature is below 0 ° C, that it is raining and that a drive slip occurs.
  • the warning signal can be derived from this that there is slippery road.
  • a combination of sensor data from a vehicle in front and on-board sensor data enables a warning for example in the following case:
  • a vehicle in front is at location A and reports the sensor data about precipitation, temperature, time etc.
  • Your own vehicle moves up to a later point the location A and detects one at its own temperature sensor Drop in temperature to freezing.
  • the evaluation facility 5 can use the stored information about location A and your own sensor data when approaching to location A the warning message "Danger of slippery roads" output.
  • Your own sensor data can in turn be transferred to other vehicles are transmitted so that this is also a warning can produce.
  • hazard reports without Time delay generated in the vehicle and output to the driver become. It can link acute information through the local sensor data with a previously in memory 11 stored knowledge and combining new ones Messages are generated that are output to the driver and may be transferred to other vehicles or a control center, thus quick warnings to other road users be available.
