Abstract

Transport data (3) is transmitted across a mobile radiotelephone network (5) with a base station (4) and supplemented by local data (7) detected by using the base station's answer-back code. Transport data contains information about when a transport vehicle (1) is being or has been loaded up or is unloading or has unloaded. A computer at fleet headquarters handles this data.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Übermittlung von Transportdaten von einem Transportfahrzeug einer Transportfahrzeugflotte zu einem Rechner einer Fuhrparkzentrale.The invention relates to a method for transmitting transport data from a Transport vehicle of a transport vehicle fleet to a computer one Fleet center.

Bisher erfolgt in der Praxis die Übermittlung von Transportdaten von einem Transportfahrzeug einer Transportfahrzeugflotte zu einer Fuhrparkzentrale derart, daß der Fahrer des Transportfahrzeuges in einem rund um die Uhr besetzten Call-Center der Fuhrparkzentrale anruft und dort telefonisch Transportdaten sowie seinen Ort angibt, welche dann gemeinsam erfaßt werden. Dies ist sehr aufwendig. Dem Fachmann bekannt sind ferner Telematik-Endgeräte, welche eine automatische Ortserfassung erlauben und eine einfachere Zuordnung des Ortes des Transportfahrzeuges zu Transportdaten erlauben; obwohl dies effizienter als ein Call-Center ist, stellt sich hierbei das Problem, dass Fuhrparkzentralen in der Regel eine große Anzahl freier Mitarbeiter mit Transportfahrzeugen ohne Telematik-Endgeräte oder mit inkompatiblen Telematik-Endgeräten tageweise beschäftigen, was einer integrierten Lösung entgegensteht.So far, in practice, transport data has been transmitted by one Transport vehicle of a transport vehicle fleet to a vehicle fleet center in such a way that the driver of the transport vehicle in a 24-hour call center the fleet center calls and there transport data as well as specifies its location, which are then recorded together. This is very time-consuming. The person skilled in the art is also familiar with telematics terminals which have a Allow automatic location detection and easier allocation of the location allow the transport vehicle to transport data; although this is more efficient than one Call center is the problem that fleet centers usually face a large number of freelancers with transport vehicles without telematics devices or deal with incompatible telematics devices on a daily basis, which stands in the way of an integrated solution.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist deshalb die Ermöglichung einer Übermittlung von Transportdaten von einem Transportfahrzeug einer Transportfahrzeugflotte zu einer Fuhrparkzentrale, welche eine möglichst effiziente Erfassung der Transportdaten und zugeordneten, den Ort des Transportfahrzeuges repräsentierenden Ortsdaten erlaubt. Die Aufgabe wird durch die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. The object of the present invention is therefore to enable a Transmission of transport data from a transport vehicle Transport vehicle fleet to a fleet center, which is as efficient as possible Acquisition of the transport data and assigned, the location of the transport vehicle representing location data allowed. The task is accomplished through the objects of the independent claims solved.

Die Erfassung des Ortes des Transportdaten aussendenden Transportfahrzeug-Fahrers aufgrund einer Basisstation eines Mobilfunknetzes, über welches kommuniziert wird, erlaubt eine sehr einfache, effiziente und kostengünstige Übermittlung der Transportdaten und Ortsdaten zum Rechner einer Fuhrparkzentrale. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der Zeichnung.The detection of the location of the transport vehicle driver sending out the transport data due to a base station of a cellular network over which communicated, allows a very simple, efficient and inexpensive Transmission of the transport data and location data to the computer one Fleet center. Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention result derive from the subclaims and the description below Embodiment with reference to the drawing.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Fahrzeug 1, von dessen eingebautem oder portablem Mobilfunkendgerät 2 aus Transportdaten 3 über eine Basisstation 4 eines Mobilfunknetzes 5 zu einem Rechner 6 eines Seriveproviders gesendet werden. Der Serviceprovider 6 erhält über eine SS7-Schnittschnelle etc. vom Mobilfunkbetreiber 5 überdies Ortsinformationen 7 betreffend die Basisstation 4, über welche das Transportfahrzeug-seitige Endgerät 2 die Transportdaten an den Rechner 6 per Mobilfunk abgesendet hat. Vom Mobilfunkprovider 5 an den Rechner des Service-Providers können die Ortsdaten 7 als Nummer der Basisstation 4 oder als geographische Angaben (beispielsweise geographische Länge und Breite) und/oder als Angabe von Städten, Strassen oder sonstigen Orten übermittelt werden. Wenn der Rechner 6 Ortsdaten 7 in Form einer Nummer einer Basisstation 4 enthält, kann er diese beispielsweise mit einer Tabelle 9 aus Basisstationskennzeichnungen und zugeordneten Orten (geographische Angaben, Städtenamen und Strassen etc.) umwandeln. Vom Rechner 6 des Serviceproviders werden die Ortsdaten an den Rechner 8 einer Fuhrparkzentrale zusammen mit Transportdaten übermittelt. Derart ist in der Fuhrparkzentrale eine einfache, effiziente und kostengünstige Erfassung von Transportdaten und zugeordneten Ortsdaten möglich. Anstatt über einen Rechner 6 ist auch eine direkte Übermittlung vom Mobilfunknetz 5 an den Rechner 8 der Fuhrparkzentrale möglich.Figure 1 shows a vehicle 1, of its built-in or portable Mobile radio terminal 2 from transport data 3 via a base station 4 Mobile network 5 are sent to a computer 6 of a server provider. The service provider 6 receives via an SS7 interface etc. from Mobile radio operators 5 moreover, location information 7 relating to the base station 4, via which the transport vehicle-side terminal 2 transmits the transport data to the Computer 6 has sent via mobile radio. From the mobile phone provider 5 to the computer of the service provider, the location data 7 as the number of the base station 4 or as geographical information (e.g. latitude and longitude) and / or transmitted as an indication of cities, streets or other places become. If the computer 6 location data 7 in the form of a number of a base station 4, he can do this, for example, with a table 9 Base station labels and assigned locations (geographical information, Convert city names and streets etc.). From the computer 6 of the service provider the location data to the computer 8 of a fleet center together with Transport data transmitted. This is a simple, efficient and inexpensive acquisition of transport data and assigned Location data possible. Instead of a computer 6, there is also a direct transmission from the mobile network 5 to the computer 8 of the vehicle fleet center.

Die Daten 3 können vom Mobilfunkendgerät 2 in unterschiedlichster Form abgesendet werden. Beispielsweise können sie als Kurznachricht abgesendet werden, insbesondere als SMS-PtP; hierfür kann auf einer SIM-Toolkit-Application im Mobilfunkendgerät 2 ein spezielles Programm hinterlegt sein oder dem Fahrer das Format bekannt sein.The data 3 can be from the mobile radio terminal 2 in the most varied of forms be sent. For example, they can be sent as a short message be, especially as SMS-PtP; this can be done on a SIM toolkit application a special program can be stored in the mobile radio terminal 2 or the driver the format to be known.

Auch kann der Fahrer des Transportfahrzeuges 1 über das Endgerät 2 mit einem Sprachdialogsystem im Rechner 6 (oder 8) sprachlich und/oder durch Tasteneingabe, kommunizieren.The driver of the transport vehicle 1 can also use the terminal 2 with a Speech dialogue system in computer 6 (or 8) linguistically and / or through Key input, communicate.

Figur 2 zeigt ein Beispiel für möglichen Eingaben mit einem Sprachdialogsystem (z.B. durch bei Tasten eingegebene und per Clip übermittelte Zahleneingaben).Figure 2 shows an example of possible inputs with a voice dialog system (e.g. by entering numbers with keys and transmitted via clip).

Z.B. wird eine Rufnummer angegeben, welche mit 22888 (= hier die Mobilfunknetzinteme Rufnummer des Rechners 6 ohne Vorwahl) beginnt, gefolgt von einer Eingabe (1-9, welche das in Figur 2 angegebene Ereignis beschreibt) mit einer Zusatzeingabe wie beispielsweise 471177 (der Auftragsnummer des vom Transportfahrzeug 1 und dessen Fahrer zu bearbeitenden Transportauftrages).For example, a phone number is given, which with 22888 (= here the cellular network Computer number 6 without area code), followed by one Input (1-9, which describes the event indicated in FIG. 2) with a Additional entry such as 471177 (the order number of the from Transport vehicle 1 and its driver to be processed transport order).

Im Beispiel bedeutet die Eingabe 1 (Rufnummer 22888) Abfahrt aus dem Depot und 471177 die Auftragsnummer. Diese Daten werden an den Rechner (6 in Figur 1) eines Serviceproviders übermittelt, welche überdies die Identifikation der Basisstation (4) über welche die Daten abgesandt wurden vom Mobilfunkprovider per SS7-Leitung oder in anderer Weise erhält, zuordnet und darauf zusammen oder in anderer Weise zugeordnet an den Rechner 8 einer Fuhrparkzentrale weitersendet.In the example, entering 1 (call number 22888) means leaving the depot and 471177 the order number. This data is sent to the computer (6 in FIG 1) transmitted by a service provider, which also identifies the Base station (4) via which the data was sent by the mobile radio provider received via SS7 line or in another way, assigned and then together or assigned in a different way to the computer 8 of a vehicle fleet center forwarded.
