Definitions

  • the determination of the bus is done automatically by the central server.
  • the necessary personnel expenses can be reduced to virtually zero. Due to the automatic assignment by the server, the time required for the assignment is reduced in comparison to the manual allocation.
  • the confirmation preferably forwarded to the expected arrival time of the bus or the remaining waiting time to the operating unit and displayed there. In this way, the passenger can be informed whether, or at what time, the next bus will approach the request stop.
  • the special functionality of the signaling device can be programmed via the platform-independent language Java. Using Java results in the best possible portability of the software code to other devices or mobile phones.
  • Fig. 1 shows a route 5 with multiple stops 3 and a demand stop 1, which is accessible via a route section 6.
  • the request stop 1 should be approached by the bus 2 only if a passenger of the bus 2 wants to get off at this request stop 1 or if a passenger wants to get on the request stop 1 in the bus 2. In the first case, the passenger can tell the stop request directly to the bus driver.
  • the inventive method provides that the passenger transmits a first signal 7 to a central server 4 and that this central server 4 forwards the hold request to the bus 2, whereupon the bus driver approaches the request stop 1.
  • the stop request can be transmitted by the passenger in different ways to the central server. Preferably, the transmission takes place via mobile radio.
  • the passenger can transmit the stop request to the central server 4, for example via SMS, stating the stop number corresponding to the request stop 1.
  • An essential feature of the presented solution is that the communication processes and the selection of the bus 2 can be handled without additional personnel expenses.
  • the bus driver can confirm the receipt. This confirmation is sent to the central server 4 and from there to Passenger forwarded, with additional information, such as the remaining waiting time can be transferred with.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flow chart of the interaction of the passenger with the operating unit 18 of the request stop 1.
  • configuration data is requested from the central server and transferred to the memory of the request stop 1.
  • the passenger Usually in 103 the passenger a short welcome text or a short information is offered. If the passenger presses the button 11 at 104, the information about the hold request at 105 is normally forwarded to the server and the server's response is waited at 106.
  • the passenger is notified of the expected time of arrival at 107, 108 or 109; or else it is indicated at 110 that no bus can approach the demand stop 1 on that day.
  • the point 109 will be traversed if the earliest bus 2 can not arrive until after a considerable waiting time, at which point the passenger must confirm at 111 that he really wishes to order that bus. This confirmation is forwarded at 112 to the central server. Otherwise, at 107 and 108, only the expected time of arrival is displayed because the bus has already been requested by the server. After an adjustable waiting time at 115, after which the bus has already reached the demand stop 1 in the normal case, the system returns to its original state 103.
  • special messages for example, at 117 the message about a low state of charge of the battery of the demand stop 1, can be transmitted to the central server 4.
  • Fig. 3 shows the sequence of interaction of the bus driver with the signaling device 40 in the bus 2. This consists for example of a standard mobile phone with JAVA programming environment.
  • the thick arrows symbolize process steps in which a data transmission between the signaling device 40 and the central server 4 takes place.
  • the bus driver is asked at 301 to log in to the system. If the login is successful, the main menu of the application appears at 302 after a short welcome message. From this main menu, the bus driver can, on the one hand, make certain settings by selecting a menu item at 303 or the current list of the on-demand stop 1 can be displayed at 304.
  • passengers may be notified in bus 2 to the central server 4 at 310. If the bus driver has to approach a request stop 1 because a passenger wishes to leave the bus 2 there, this is communicated to the central server 4. This can be used to fine tune the timetable or to display at the request stop 1 that the next bus 2 will arrive shortly.
  • the bus driver can log out of the system via a menu item at 311.
  • Incoming requests are first checked for admissibility at 204 by matching with a user database 205 and stored in the list of existing requests.
  • This list of existing requests is referred to as marketplace 205.
  • the marketplace 205 is preferably provided with JMS (Java Messaging Service).
  • JMS Java Messaging Service
  • the architecture of the central server 4 is kept open and envisages that several carriers or multiple providers can access this marketplace 205 through provider modules 207 and make offers for the individual requests.
  • the vendor module 207 reads the request or the hold request from the marketplace 205 and determined by matching with a timetable database 209 for the stop request at the request stop 1 candidate bus 2.
  • the demand stop 1, the central server 4 and the signaling device 40 in the bus 2 thus form a traffic system which is used for the signaling method according to the invention.
  • the electronic components are housed in Fig. 6 in a cabinet 10 which is closable by means of a lock 13.
  • the cabinet 10 serves to protect the electronics from the weather.
  • This cabinet 10 is mounted on the mast 17, on which a GSM antenna 15 is mounted. Furthermore, 17 power and signal lines are performed in the mast.
  • the communication unit 19 of the demand station 1 comprises a GSM modem 20 and a GSM antenna 15.
  • the antenna 15 is used to establish the radio link between the communication unit 19 of the demand station 1 and a base station of the mobile service provider. Due to the possible local implementation of base stations, a simple rod antenna is preferably used.
  • the GSM antenna 15 is mounted in the upper part of the mast 17 in order to obtain a favorable radiation behavior and not expose the passenger to excessive radiation load.
  • the limits for radiofrequency field exposure are set by the ICNTRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and adopted by WHO or most governments.
  • the limit recommended by IC-NIRP is 5000 mW / m 2 for 1000 MHz (GSM900) and 9000 mW / m 2 for 1800 MHz.
  • a remote GSM antenna 15 is preferably used in about 3m height.
  • the demand stop 1 further has a likewise mounted on the mast 17 solar panel 14.
  • the solar panel 14 is part of the power supply of the BH 1 and makes it possible to set the demand stop 1 independently of an external power supply.
  • the solar panel 14 supplies a battery via a charge controller.
  • the solar panel 14 is mounted so that a clearance height of about 2.4m is ensured. During assembly, it is secured against rotation in such a way that optimal exposure / exposure can take place.
  • amorphous modules are selected for the solar panel. Due to the slightly higher voltages of the amorphous modules, the charge controller has a higher voltage available.
  • Fig. 7a shows on the left the GSM modem 20, in this case a Motorola g18 with the mmcx FME antenna adapter 20 'going to the left.
  • the modem 20 is connected via a laminated ribbon cable 21 with a miniature connector of the board 22 and further to the power supply and the computer 23.
  • the modem 20 or the communication unit is used for bidirectional transmission of information between the demand station 1 and the central server.
  • the display 12 in this case a Batron 42008 is shown, which is connected via a data line 28 and a separate cable for the power supply for the backlight with the board 22. Also shown is a cover 24 for shielding the computer 23.
  • Fig. 8 shows the board 22 with mounted on-board computer 23, which has its own processor, a memory and the necessary I / O ports.
  • the board 22 is connected via the terminals 25 to the supply voltage.
  • the display 12 is connected on the one hand via the data line 28 and a separate cable 26 for the power supply for the backlight with the board 22.
  • an NTC temperature sensor via the line 32 to the board 22 is connected.
  • the computer 23 contains the logic for communication with the user via the buttons 11 and the display 12 and the communication based thereon with the central server 4 via the GSM modem 20.
  • the computer 23 can be used to acquire a wide variety of measured values or data.
