Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Information von Autofahrern, wobei digital codierte Verkehrsmeldungen empfangen und zwischengespeichert werden.The invention relates to a method for informing Motorists, taking digitally coded traffic reports received and cached.

Mit dem Radio-Daten-System (RDS) wird eine zusätzliche und unhörbare Übermittlung von digitalen Daten parallel zu Rundfunkprogrammen in einem Datenkanal ermöglicht. Spezifikationen des Radio-Daten-Systems für UKW-Hörfunk sind unter anderem in der Druckschrift Tech. 3244 - E, März 1984 der europäischen Runfunk-Union (EBU) festgelegt. Rundfunkempfänger mit geeigneten RDS-Decodern können übermittelte Daten zusätzlich zum Audioempfang mit dem selben Empfangsteil aufnehmen und decodieren. Für die Datenübertragung sind 32 Gruppen zu jeweils 104 Bit vorgesehen, wobei jeder der übertragenen Gruppen jeweils ein bestimmter Dienst zugewiesen wird. Die Gruppe 8a ist zur Zeit für die Übertragung von digital codierten Meldungen, insbesondere Verkehrsmeldungen, vorgesehen. With the radio data system (RDS) an additional and inaudible transmission of digital data parallel to Broadcast programs in a data channel. Specifications of the radio data system for FM radio are among others in the publication Tech. 3244-E, March 1984 of the European Runfunk Union (EBU). Radio receivers with suitable RDS decoders can transmitted data in addition to audio reception with the Record and decode the same receiver. For the Data transmission is 32 groups of 104 bits each provided, each of the transmitted groups one each certain service is assigned. Group 8a is for Time for the transmission of digitally coded messages, in particular traffic reports.

Der Aufbau und die Codierung dieser Verkehrsmeldungen sind in CEN ENV 12313-1 festgelegt, der auf dem Normvorschlag ALERT C, November 1990, herausgegeben vom RDS ATT ALERT Consortium, basiert. Die wesentlichen Elemente einer Verkehrsmeldung sind dabei der Ort des Geschehens (Location) und das Ereignis (Event). Diese Angaben sind katalogisiert, das heißt, daß jedem verkehrsrelevanten Ort und jedem verkehrsrelevanten Ereignis ein eindeutiger Code zugewiesen ist. Die Verkettung der Orte in einer Ortsdatenbank entlang existierender Straßen gibt den Verlauf wieder. Außer den üblichen Einrichtungen eines Empfangsgerätes mit einem RDS-Decoder sind zur Nutzung des Verkehrsmeldungskanals TMC (Traffic Message Channel) Einrichtungen zur Decodierung, zur Speicherung, zur Weiterverarbeitung und zur Ausgabe der Verkehrsmeldungen erforderlich.The structure and coding of these traffic reports are specified in CEN ENV 12313-1, which is based on the proposed standard ALERT C, November 1990, published by RDS ATT ALERT Consortium based. The essential elements of a Traffic reports are the location of the event and the event. This information is cataloged that means that every traffic-relevant place and everyone assigned a unique code to traffic-relevant events is. The chaining of locations along in a location database existing roads reflect the course. Except the usual facilities of a receiving device with a RDS decoders are used to use the traffic information channel TMC (Traffic Message Channel) Decoding devices for Storage, further processing and output of the Traffic announcements required.

Digital codierte Verkehrsmeldungen - der Einfachheit halber im folgenden auch TMC-Meldungen genannt - können nicht nur mit Hilfe des Radio-Daten-Systems übertragen werden, sondern auch beispielsweise innerhalb des digitalen Audio-Rundfunks (DAB), insbesondere im FI-Kanal (Fast-Information-Channel). Ferner ist eine Übertragung der Meldungen über Mobilfunknetze vorgesehen, wobei sich der Broadcast-Kanal und der SMS-Kanal eignen (SMS = Short Message Service). Zur Zeit wird diesbezüglich ein Global Automotive Telematic Standard (GATS) erarbeitet. Dieser ist ein paketorientierter Datenkanal, der parallel zum gesprochenen Telefonat abgewickelt werden kann. Während bei den Rundfunksystemen, das heißt bei den unidirektionalen Netzen, nacheinander alle TMC-Meldungen gesendet werden, ist bei den bidirektionalen Netzen eine Übertragung auf Wunsch (Request) möglich.Digitally coded traffic reports - for the sake of simplicity hereinafter also called TMC messages - not only with the help of the radio data system, but also, for example, within digital audio broadcasting (DAB), especially in the FI channel (Fast Information Channel). There is also a transmission of the messages via Mobile radio networks are provided, with the broadcast channel and the SMS channel (SMS = Short Message Service). For In this regard, time is becoming a global automotive telematic Standard (GATS) developed. This is a package-oriented Data channel parallel to the spoken phone call can be handled. While with broadcast systems, in the unidirectional networks, that means all in succession TMC messages are sent is bidirectional Networks can be transmitted on request.

In dem jeweiligen Empfänger wird jede TMC-Meldung in einem Speicher abgelegt und bleibt dort solange, bis sie ihre Gültigkeit verliert. Dieses ist implizit nach einer Viertelstunde (bei Übertragung über GSM nach einer halben Stunde) der Fall. Bei größeren Zeitspannen wird die Gültigkeitsdauer explizit mit übertragen, zum Beispiel "noch zwei Stunden". Besteht ein Hindernis länger als anfangs angenommen, wird dieselbe Meldung wiederholt gesendet, bevor sie ihre Gültigkeit verliert (Update-Meldung).Each TMC message is in one in the respective recipient Storage is stored and remains there until it is yours Validity loses. This is implicit after one Quarter of an hour (for transmission over GSM after half a Hour) the case. With longer periods the Explicitly transfer validity period, for example "still two hours ". If there is an obstacle longer than at the beginning accepted, the same message is sent repeatedly before it loses its validity (update message).

Staus werden üblicherweise mit einem Ausmaß in Kilometern angegeben. Häufig ist für den Autofahrer jedoch viel interessanter die Information, wielange der Stau oder ein sonstiges Verkehrshindernis noch besteht. Bei der Überlegung, eine Umleitung zu benutzen, die in der Regel komplizierter als der direkte Weg ist, spielt unter anderem auch das Zeitverhalten eines Staus eine Rolle.Traffic jams are usually measured in kilometers specified. Often, however, is a lot for the driver more interesting the information, how long the traffic jam or a other obstacle to traffic still exists. In the Consider using a redirect, which is usually is more complicated than the direct way, among other things the timing of a traffic jam also plays a role.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dem Autofahrer anhand der empfangenen TMC-Meldungen Informationen zur Entwicklung eines Staus oder eines anderen Hindernisses zu geben.The object of the present invention is that Drivers based on the TMC messages received Information about the development of a traffic jam or another Obstacle.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß mit den empfangenen Verkehrsmeldungen jeweils ein Zeitstempel gespeichert wird, daß aus Ausmaßen und den Zeitstempeln mehrerer gespeicherter Verkehrsmeldungen, die das gleiche Ereignis betreffen, ein Maß für die Dauer des Ereignisses und/oder die Änderung des Ausmaßes abgeleitet wird und daß die Änderung angezeigt wird. Obwohl auch andere sich zeitlich entwickelnde Hindernisse Gegenstand des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sein können, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, daß das Ausmaß eine Staulänge ist.This object is achieved in that with a timestamp for the traffic reports received that is saved from dimensions and the timestamps multiple saved traffic reports that are the same Event concern, a measure of the duration of the event and / or the change in extent is derived and that the change is displayed. Although others themselves Obstacles over time process according to the invention is preferred provided that the extent is a jam length.

An sich können bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren verschiedene Zeitstempel vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise bei einer Zeit t=0 beim Eintreffen der ersten jeweils ein Ereignis betreffenden Staumeldung beginnen. Es ist beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren jedoch durchaus vorteilhaft, wenn der Zeitstempel die jeweilige Uhrzeit ist. As such, in the method according to the invention Different timestamps can be provided, for example at a time t = 0 when the first one arrives Start the congestion report relating to the event. It is with however, the method according to the invention is entirely advantageous, if the timestamp is the current time.

Die Anzeige der Änderung kann optisch oder akustisch erfolgen, wobei sowohl eine allgemeine Tendenzanzeige als auch eine genauere Anzeige, beispielsweise in Kilometer pro Zeiteinheit, möglich ist.The change can be indicated visually or acoustically take place, with both a general trend display as also a more accurate display, for example in kilometers per Unit of time, is possible.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird beispielsweise die Bedeutsamkeit einer Staumeldung von vielleicht nur 5 Kilometer Länge deutlich, die aber schon einige Stunden lang im Speicher vorliegt und bei der eventuell sogar die Staulänge durch eine Update-Meldung (die an der gleichen Position im TMC-Speicher landet) vergrößert wurde. Dieser Stau ist sehr zäh und lohnt, umfahren zu werden. Auch andere Meldungen, wie beispielsweise Straßensperren, können auf diese Weise praxisnäher bewertet werden im Vergleich zur bloßen Aussage "Straße gesperrt".By the method according to the invention, for example Significance of a traffic jam message of perhaps only 5 Kilometers length clearly, but for a few hours is in the memory and possibly even the Congestion length by an update message (which on the same Position in the TMC memory lands) was enlarged. This Traffic jam is very tough and worth driving around. Others too Messages such as roadblocks can appear in this way are assessed in a more practical way compared to mere statement "road closed".

Um ein Überschreiben früherer Zeitstempel zu vermeiden, kann gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, daß Folgemeldungen, die das gleiche Ereignis betreffen, mit dem Zeitstempel der ersten dieses Ereignis betreffenden Meldung versehen werden.To avoid overwriting previous timestamps, you can be provided according to an advantageous embodiment that Follow-up messages that affect the same event with the Timestamp of the first message related to this event be provided.

Bei Navigationsgeräten mit automatischer Routensuche wird den einzelnen Straßen ein Widerstandswert zugeordnet. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren sind die Zeit-Dauerinformation sowie die Änderung des Ausmaßes geeignet, als Widerstandswert für eine Routensuche herangezogen zu werden.For navigation devices with automatic route search a resistance value is assigned to the individual roads. At the inventive method are Time-duration information and the change in extent suitable as a resistance value for a route search to be used.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung anhand mehrerer Figuren dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing using several figures and are explained in more detail in the following description. It shows:
Fig. 1
a table of TMC messages received and stored in the memory for a first case,
Fig. 2
the content of TMC messages received and stored in the memory for a further case and
Fig. 3
a block diagram of a receiver suitable for the inventive method.

In der Tabelle nach Fig. 1 wird vorausgesetzt, daß um 12:00 Uhr eine neue Meldung mit dem Inhalt "As zwischen ... und ... 5 km Stau" eingetroffen und mit einem Zeitstempel TST = 12:00 versehen ist. Dabei bedeutet Ax eine Straßennummer. Die Pünktchen stehen für Orte auf der Straße, insbesondere Anschlußstellen einer Autobahn. Diese Meldung wurde zweimal aufgefrischt, nämlich um 12:25 Uhr und um 12:50 Uhr und dabei jeweils gemäß ALERT C-Standard als Update-Meldung gekennzeichnet. Der Zeitstempel wird dann beibehalten, weil die neu eingetroffene Meldung eine Update-Meldung ist. Aus der sich nicht ändernden Menge des Staus (Ausmaß) wird bei Eintreffen die Tendenz "gleichbleibend" abgeleitet und in geeigneter Weise angezeigt. Soll zum Beispiel um 13:05 Uhr eine Meldungsausgabe erfolgen, ergibt sich aus dem Zeitstempel, daß die Meldung bereits eine Stunde und fünf Minuten vorliegt, der Stau jedoch nicht länger wird.In the table of Fig. 1 it is assumed that at 12:00 Watch a new message with the content "As between ... and ... 5 km traffic jam "arrived and with a time stamp TST = 12:00 is provided. Ax means a street number. The dots represent places on the street, in particular Junction points of a motorway. This message was posted twice refreshed, namely at 12:25 p.m. and at 12:50 p.m. and always in accordance with the ALERT C standard as an update message characterized. The timestamp is then kept because the newly arrived message is an update message. Out the unchanging amount of congestion (extent) is at Arrive the tendency "constant" derived and in appropriately displayed. For example, at 1:05 p.m. a message is issued follows from the Time stamp that the message is already an hour and five Minutes, but the traffic jam no longer increases.

Bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Beispiel trifft um 15:00 Uhr eine neue Meldung ein und erhält diese Uhrzeit als Zeitstempel TST. Update-Meldungen treffen um 15:25 Uhr und um 15:50 Uhr ein, beinhalten jedoch zunehmende Angaben zur Staulänge. Deshalb wird bei Eintreffen der Update-Meldungen jeweils die Tendenz "steigend" abgeleitet. Die Ausgabe um 15:55 Uhr beinhaltet dann, daß die Meldung bereits 55 Minuten vorliegt und der Stau außerdem länger wird. Hier ist es sinnvoll, eine Umleitungsempfehlung zu befolgen. In the example shown in FIG. 2, it hits at 3:00 p.m. a new message and receives this time as Timestamp TST. Update messages arrive at 3:25 p.m. and at 3:50 p.m., but include increasing information about the Stowage length. Therefore, when the update messages arrive in each case derived the tendency "increasing". The issue around 3:55 p.m. then means that the message is already 55 Minutes and the traffic jam gets longer. Here is it makes sense to follow a diversion recommendation.

Fig. 3 stellt einen für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren geeigneten Empfänger dar - vorzugsweise ein Autoradio. Eine Antenne 1 ist in an sich bekannter Weise mit einem Empfangsteil 2 verbunden, an dessen Ausgang ein Stereo-Multiplex-Signal MPX ansteht, das einem Stereo-Decoder 4 und einem RDS-Decoder 3 zugeführt wird. Ausgänge des Stereo-Decoders 4 sind mit einem NF-Verstärker 5 verbunden, an den jeweils über eine Endstufe 6, 7 Lautsprecher 8, 9 angeschlossen sind.3 shows one for the method according to the invention suitable receiver - preferably a car radio. A Antenna 1 is in a manner known per se with a Receiving part 2 connected, at the output Stereo multiplex signal MPX is present, which one Stereo decoder 4 and an RDS decoder 3 is supplied. Outputs of the stereo decoder 4 are with an NF amplifier 5 connected to each of them via an output stage 6, 7 Speakers 8, 9 are connected.

Der RDS-Decoder selektiert aus dem Multiplex-Signal RDS-Signale und decodiert diese. Ein Mikroprozessor 13 nimmt eine Reihe von Funktionen einschließlich der Steuerung des gesamten Empfängers wahr, wobei im folgenden nur diejenigen Funktionen erwähnt sind, die für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wesentlich sind. Der Mikroprozessor 13 erhält vom RDS-Decoder RDS-Signale und ist mit einem Bedienteil 14, einem Display 15, einem Speicher 16 und einer Uhr 17 verbunden. Die empfangenen TMC-Meldungen werden, wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigt, im Speicher 16 abgelegt. Zur Ausgabe der TMC-Meldungen kann das Display 15 vom Mikroprozessor 13 angesteuert werden. Es ist jedoch auch eine Sprachausgabe, z.B. in Form einer Sprachsynthese, möglich, wozu die synthetisierten Audiosignale über einen Eingang 10 dem NF-Verstärker 5 zugeführt werden können.The RDS decoder selects from the multiplex signal RDS signals and decodes them. A microprocessor 13 takes a number of functions including control of the true of the entire recipient, only those below Functions are mentioned that for the invention Procedures are essential. The microprocessor 13 receives from RDS decoder RDS signals and is with a control panel 14, a display 15, a memory 16 and a clock 17 connected. The received TMC messages are as in the Figures 1 and 2 shown, stored in memory 16. For The display 15 can output the TMC messages from Microprocessor 13 can be controlled. However, it is also a voice output, e.g. in the form of a speech synthesis, possible, for which the synthesized audio signals via a Input 10 can be fed to the NF amplifier 5.

Im Mikroprozessor 13 werden verschiedene Programme abgearbeitet, welche die einzelnen Verfahrensschritte durchführen. So wird beispielsweise bei Eintreffen einer neuen TMC-Meldung aus der Uhr 17 die Uhrzeit ausgelesen und zusammen mit der empfangenen TMC-Meldung im Speicher 16 abgelegt. Trifft eine Update-Meldung ein, so wird der im Zusammenhang mit der neuen Meldung abgelegte Zeitstempel TST aus dem Speicher 16 ausgelesen und zusammen mit der neuen Meldung im Speicher abgelegt. Zur Ausgabe dieser gespeicherten Update-Meldung wird diese aus dem Speicher 16 ausgelesen und über das Display 15 bzw. den Lautsprecher 8, 9 wiedergegeben. Dabei werden die Ereignisse (Inhalte) der Update-Meldung und der zuvor empfangenen Update-Meldung oder neuen Meldung miteinander verglichen und die Tendenz ermittelt und ebenfalls wiedergegeben.Various programs are in the microprocessor 13 processed, which the individual process steps carry out. For example, when one arrives read the new TMC message from the clock 17 and together with the received TMC message in memory 16 filed. If an update message arrives, it will be Connection with the new message filed time stamp TST read out from the memory 16 and together with the new one Message stored in memory. To issue this stored update message, this is from memory 16 read out and via the display 15 or the loudspeaker 8, 9 reproduced. The events (contents) of the Update message and the previously received update message or new message compared and the trend determined and also reproduced.
