Description

La présente invention concerne un système de détection de personnes à mobilité réduite destiné à améliorer l'accessibilité aux transports publics automobiles pour ces personnes.The present invention relates to a system for detecting persons with reduced mobility to improve accessibility to public transport vehicles for these persons.

Dans le cadre de l'accès aux véhicules de transport en commun, la qualification de personne à mobilité réduite regroupe entre autre les personnes en fauteuil roulant, les personnes accompagnées d'enfants en poussette, les personnes ayant des difficultés de déplacement comme les personnes âgées, les personnes malvoyantes ou de petite taille, les personnes atteintes d'un handicap moteur temporaire ou non.In the context of access to public transport vehicles, the qualification of person with reduced mobility includes among others people in wheelchairs, persons accompanied by children in strollers, people with traveling difficulties such as the elderly , visually impaired or small, people with temporary motor disabilities or not.

La législation tend à imposer des moyens garantissant l'accessibilité des transports en commun aux personnes à mobilité réduite et de nombreux systèmes sont apparus en particulier pour améliorer l'accessibilité aux autobus pour ces personnes.Legislation tends to impose means of guaranteeing the accessibility of public transport to persons with reduced mobility and many systems have emerged in particular to improve the accessibility of buses for these persons.

Notamment il a été développé des autobus à plancher bas et plat, des autobus pourvus de systèmes d'affaissement ou d'agenouillement ramenant la hauteur de seuil du plancher de l'autobus au niveau du quai, des autobus pourvus de palettes et, pour ce qui concerne les quais, des hauteurs d'usage courant, des quais en ligne et des quais munis de pans biseautés ont été réalisés et des hauteurs de quai normalisées ont été prévues.In particular, low- and flat-floor buses, buses with subsidence or kneeling systems were used to reduce the floor height of the bus floor to the platform level, buses with pallets and, for this purpose, docks, common heights, in-line docks and bevelled docks have been constructed and standard wharf heights have been planned.

Pour les véhicules, les systèmes d'affaissement ou les systèmes à palette sont, d'une part, difficilement adaptables aux autobus en service et, d'autre part, nécessitent un temps de mise en oeuvre jugé trop important par les personnels d'exploitation et notamment par les conducteurs.For vehicles, slump systems or pallet systems are, on the one hand, difficult to adapt to buses in service and, on the other hand, require a time of implementation considered too important by the operating personnel and especially by the drivers.

D'autres systèmes tels que les systèmes d'assistance à l'accostage ou de guidage des véhicules lors de leur accostage à quai ont été proposés mais ces systèmes restent onéreux et de mise en oeuvre complexe.Other systems such as assistance systems for docking or guiding vehicles at docking have been proposed but these systems remain expensive and complex implementation.

Il a été démontré en outre que l'amélioration du service dépend de l'attitude du personnel de conduite qui, s'il est prévenu suffisamment à temps de la présence sur le quai d'une personne à mobilité réduite, adaptera son accostage pour aider à l'embarquement de cette personne.It has further been shown that the improvement of the service depends on the attitude of the flight crew, who, if he is warned in good time of the presence on the wharf of a person with reduced mobility, will adapt his berthing to help on boarding this person.

De plus, dans le cas d'autobus à plusieurs portes, alors que pour l'embarquement des personnes valides le conducteur privilégiera une approche optimisée sur la porte avant, il se peut qu'en présence d'une ou plusieurs personnes à mobilité réduite il soit plus intéressant de privilégier l'accès par une porte milieu. Il est donc nécessaire que le conducteur adapte son approche du quai pour rendre cette porte intermédiaire plus facilement accessible.In addition, in the case of multi-door buses, while for boarding valid persons the driver will favor an optimized approach on the front door, it may be that in the presence of one or more persons with reduced mobility it is more interesting to favor access by a middle door. It is therefore necessary for the driver to adapt his approach to the platform to make this intermediate door more easily accessible.

Un système simple sans infrastructure complexe basé sur la coopération du conducteur permettrait de faciliter l'embarquement et le débarquement des personnes à mobilité réduite sans nécessiter d'aménagements complexes des véhicules en privilégiant un équipement simple des quais.A simple system without complex infrastructure based on the cooperation of the driver would facilitate the boarding and disembarking of persons with reduced mobility without requiring complex arrangements of vehicles by focusing on simple equipment platforms.

Dans ce but il est nécessaire de prévenir le conducteur du véhicule de transports en commun suffisamment tôt.For this purpose it is necessary to warn the driver of the public transport vehicle sufficiently early.

Le système de la présente invention a pour objet un tel système en ce qu'il permet de détecter simplement les personnes à mobilité réduite dans le but de prévenir le conducteur de l'autobus suffisamment tôt avant l'arrêt de la présence d'une ou plusieurs de ces personnes ce qui lui permet d'adapter son approche du quai en conséquence.The system of the present invention has as its object such a system that it can simply detect persons with reduced mobility in order to warn the driver of the bus sufficiently early before stopping the presence of one or several of these people which allows him to adapt his dock approach accordingly.

Pour ce faire la présente invention concerne un système de détection de personnes à mobilité réduite pour véhicules de transports en commun caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une borne de détection de badges portés par lesdites personnes, des moyens de transmission radio d'une information de détection d'au moins un badge et un système de réception et de communication au conducteur de l'information de détection embarqué dans les véhicules.To this end, the present invention relates to a system for detecting persons with reduced mobility for public transport vehicles, characterized in that it comprises a badge detection terminal carried by said persons, means for transmitting radio information detecting at least one badge and a system for receiving and communicating to the driver of the onboard detection information in the vehicles.

Avantageusement la borne est disposée sur un quai en regard d'un marquage au sol déterminant une zone d'embarquement aménagée.Advantageously the terminal is disposed on a platform next to a ground marking determining an embarkation area arranged.

Plus particulièrement, la borne comporte une zone de détection angulaire centrée sur l'axe de la zone d'embarquement.More particularly, the terminal comprises an angular detection zone centered on the axis of the boarding area.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les badges sont des badges d'identification radio fréquence et la borne comporte une antenne de détection desdits badges.According to an advantageous embodiment, the badges are radio frequency identification badges and the terminal comprises an antenna for detecting said badges.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be better understood on reading the following description of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings which represent:
  • in Figure 1: a schematic view of an embodiment of dock equipped with a terminal according to the invention;
  • in FIG. 2: a functional schematic representation of a terminal and a receiving terminal of a vehicle;

Le système de détection de personnes à mobilité réduite pour véhicules de transports en commun selon l'invention est en premier lieu basé sur une borne 4, 4', 5, 6 de détection de badges 7 portés par lesdites personnes.The system for detecting persons with reduced mobility for public transport vehicles according to the invention is primarily based on a terminal 4, 4 ', 5, 6 for detecting badges 7 carried by said persons.

Un exemple d'implantation d'une telle borne est donné en figure 1.An example of implantation of such a terminal is given in FIG.

La borne 4 est disposée sur le quai 11 en regard d'un marquage au sol 12 déterminant une zone d'embarquement aménagée.Terminal 4 is disposed on the platform 11 opposite a ground marking 12 determining a fitted boarding area.

Selon l'exemple de la figure 1, la borne est disposée à proximité d'un poteau 19 comportant un panneau solaire 18 et une antenne 9 reliés à la borne 4.According to the example of Figure 1, the terminal is disposed near a pole 19 having a solar panel 18 and an antenna 9 connected to the terminal 4.

Un schéma de principe de la borne 4 est représenté en figure 2 selon laquelle la borne comporte une antenne 15 de détection d'un badge 7, un dispositif 20 de détection de signal émis ou modifié par le badge, des moyens 8, 9 de transmission radio d'une information de détection d'au moins un badge 7 vers un terminal de réception 10 d'un véhicule.A block diagram of the terminal 4 is represented in FIG. 2 according to which the terminal comprises an antenna 15 for detecting a badge 7, a device 20 for detecting a signal transmitted or modified by the badge, transmission means 8, 9 radio of a detection information of at least one badge 7 to a receiving terminal 10 of a vehicle.

En revenant à la figure 1, selon l'exemple, la borne 4, 5, 6 comporte une zone de détection angulaire 13 centrée sur l'axe de la zone d'embarquement ce qui a l'avantage de permettre aux personnes à mobilité réduite de se placer au meilleur endroit du quai pour embarquer dans les meilleures conditions.Returning to FIG. 1, according to the example, terminal 4, 5, 6 comprises an angular detection zone 13 centered on the axis of the boarding area. which has the advantage of allowing people with reduced mobility to be in the best place of the dock to board in the best conditions.

La zone d'embarquement 13 est selon cet exemple une zone de trottoir relevée pour limiter la différence de hauteur avec le plancher de l'autobus mais d'autres configurations de zones d'embarquement sont possibles, le système selon l'invention ayant l'avantage de ne pas se limiter à une configuration particulière.In this example, the boarding zone 13 is a raised sidewalk zone to limit the difference in height with the floor of the bus, but other configurations of boarding areas are possible, the system according to the invention having the advantage of not being limited to a particular configuration.

Dans le cas où la borne 4, 5, 6 doit être autonome, par exemple afin d'éviter de devoir ajouter une infrastructure électrique au niveau du quai ou pour simplifier l'implantation de la borne, cette dernière comporte un dispositif d'alimentation 21 auquel sont reliés une batterie 17 et un panneau solaire 18.In the case where the terminal 4, 5, 6 must be independent, for example in order to avoid having to add an electrical infrastructure at the wharf or to simplify the implementation of the terminal, the latter comprises a power supply device 21 to which a battery 17 and a solar panel 18 are connected.

Selon la figure 3, les bornes 4, 5, 6 sont directement équipées d'un mât porteur du panneau solaire 18 et de l'antenne d'émission 9 alors que le mât de la figure 1 est un mât préexistant, par exemple le mât porteur de panneaux d'informations et du nom de la station d'arrêt.According to FIG. 3, the terminals 4, 5, 6 are directly equipped with a solar panel 18 and transmission antenna mast 9 while the mast of FIG. 1 is a pre-existing mast, for example the mast. carrier of information panels and the name of the station.

Comme énoncé plus haut, l'invention prévoit en outre un système 10 de réception des données émises par la borne et de communication au conducteur de l'information selon laquelle une ou plusieurs personnes à mobilité réduite sont présentes à un arrêt donné. Le système 10 est embarqué dans les véhicules.As stated above, the invention further provides a system 10 for receiving data transmitted by the terminal and communicating to the driver of the information that one or more persons with reduced mobility are present at a given stop. The system 10 is embedded in the vehicles.

Ce système de réception schématisé à la figure 2 comporte un récepteur 26, un calculateur de traitement et de décodage 25 et des moyens 22, 23, 24 pour avertir le conducteur de la présence de personnes à mobilité réduite lorsque ces dernières ont été détectées par la borne 4, 5, 6.This reception system schematized in FIG. 2 comprises a receiver 26, a processing and decoding calculator 25 and means 22, 23, 24 to warn the driver of the presence of persons with reduced mobility when the latter have been detected by the terminal 4, 5, 6.

Le calculateur de traitement, s'il reçoit une information sur le parcours de l'autobus, pourra éventuellement n'avertir le conducteur que dans le cas où l'arrêt émettant la présence de personnes à mobilité réduite se trouve sur son parcours.The treatment calculator, if it receives information on the route of the bus, may possibly notify the driver only in the case where the stop issuing the presence of persons with reduced mobility is on his route.

Les moyens avertisseurs 22, 23, 24 décrits sont par exemple un avertisseur sonore 24, un témoin lumineux 23 et/ou un afficheur 22.The warning means 22, 23, 24 described are for example a buzzer 24, a pilot light 23 and / or a display 22.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, les bornes émettent dans un rayon réduit de quelques centaines de mètres de manière directive de sorte que seuls les véhicules à proximité reçoivent l'information de présence de personnes à mobilité réduite au niveau de l'arrêt auquel se trouve la borne.According to a first embodiment, the terminals emit in a reduced radius of a few hundred meters in a directional manner so that only vehicles nearby receive the presence information of persons with reduced mobility at the stop in which is located terminal.

Un tel système est très simple à mettre en oeuvre du fait qu'il est suffisant d'équiper les arrêts avec des bornes autonomes et d'équiper les bus de récepteurs simples répercutant l'information de présence de personnes à mobilité réduite aux conducteurs.Such a system is very simple to implement because it is sufficient to equip the stops with stand-alone terminals and to equip the buses with simple receivers transmitting the information of presence of persons with reduced mobility to the drivers.

Dans le cadre d'un système plus élaboré, les dispositifs d'émission radio 8 d'au moins certaines des bornes sont agencés pour transmettre les coordonnées du quai sur lequel se trouve les bornes simultanément à la transmission de l'information de détection de personnes à mobilité réduite.In the context of a more elaborate system, the radio transmission devices 8 of at least some of the terminals are arranged to transmit the coordinates of the platform on which the terminals are located simultaneously with the transmission of the information of detection of persons. with low mobility.

La trame envoyée est dans ce cas une trame qui reste simple et qui comporte les données nom de la station ou arrêt, le nombre de badges détectés et si ces derniers le permettent, le type de handicap des personnes présentes.The frame sent is in this case a frame which remains simple and which includes the data name of the station or stop, the number of badges detected and if they allow it, the type of handicap of the people present.

Le dispositif d'émission radio vers les autobus émet vers les autobus situés dans un secteur d'approche du quai et est agencé pour transmettre l'information de présence de personnes à mobilité réduite.The radio transmission device to the buses transmits to the buses located in an approach area of the platform and is arranged to transmit the presence information of persons with reduced mobility.

Ainsi, le conducteur de l'autobus se dirigeant vers la borne émettant l'information est averti de la présence de personnes à mobilité réduite et de l'arrêt concerné.Thus, the driver of the bus going to the terminal transmitting the information is warned of the presence of persons with reduced mobility and the stop concerned.

Dans ce cadre, le système 10 de réception et de communication peut en particulier comporter un afficheur 22 sur lequel sont porté les informations relative à l'arrêt et à la présence et/ou nombre et/ou type de personnes à mobilité réduite détectées.In this context, the reception and communication system 10 may in particular comprise a display 22 on which are carried the information relating to the stop and the presence and / or number and / or type of persons with reduced mobility detected.

Dans le cas où le véhicule de transport comporte une palette 30 d'embarquement des personnes à mobilité réduite se déployant à l'arrêt du véhicule, selon un mode de réalisation avantageux du système selon l'invention, le véhicule comporte un dispositif de commande 29 de la palette 30 adapté pour déployer cette dernière lorsqu'il y a eu réception par le véhicule de l'information de détection d'au moins une personne à mobilité réduite et détection de l'arrêt du véhicule à l'arrêt où se trouve la personne. Pour ce faire, le dispositif de commande 29 de la palette 30 est relié au système 10 de réception et de communication du véhicule.In the case where the transport vehicle comprises a pallet 30 embarkation of persons with reduced mobility deploying at the stop of the vehicle, according to an advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention, the vehicle comprises a control device 29 the pallet 30 adapted to deploy the latter when there has been received by the vehicle of the detection information of at least one person with reduced mobility and detecting the stop of the vehicle at the stop where is the nobody. To do this, the control device 29 of the pallet 30 is connected to the system 10 for receiving and communicating the vehicle.

Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement mis en oeuvre dans le cas où la borne transmet les coordonnées de l'arrêt auquel se trouvent les personnes à mobilité réduite.This embodiment is particularly implemented in the case where the terminal transmits the coordinates of the stop in which people with reduced mobility.

Pour permettre d'enrichir les informations transmises, selon une première variante, les badges 7 sont avantageusement des badges d'identification radio fréquence 14, la borne comportant une antenne active 15 de détection et d'activation desdits badges couvrant la zone d'embarquement.To enable the information transmitted to be enriched, according to a first variant, the badges 7 are advantageously radio frequency identification badges 14, the terminal comprising an active antenna 15 for detecting and activating said badges covering the boarding area.

Dans le cas de badges d'identification radio fréquence (RFID), l'antenne planaire 14 du badge peut être accordée sur une fréquence particulière selon une codification déterminée ou le badge peut être un modèle actif comportant un circuit électronique d'émission de données.In the case of radio frequency identification badges (RFID), the planar antenna 14 of the badge can be tuned to a particular frequency according to a given coding or the badge can be an active model comprising an electronic data transmission circuit.

Selon une variante simplifiée représentée en figure 4, les badges 7' comportent une télécommande 28, d'émission de l'information vers une borne 4' comportant un récepteur pour cette télécommande, que la personne à mobilité réduite actionne en se positionnant sur le quai à proximité de la borne 4'.According to a simplified variant shown in FIG. 4, the badges 7 'comprise a remote control 28 for transmitting information to a terminal 4' comprising a receiver for this remote control, which the person with reduced mobility operates by positioning himself on the platform near Terminal 4 '.

Les badges 7, 7' comportent éventuellement des moyens pour émettre une indication sur le type de handicap des personnes les portant.The badges 7, 7 'may include means for issuing an indication of the type of disability of the persons wearing them.

Dans ce dernier cas, le badge est programmé lors de sa remise à son titulaire pour comporter le type de handicap du porteur.In the latter case, the badge is programmed when it is delivered to its holder to include the type of disability of the wearer.

La figure 3 représente une version enrichie du système selon l'invention comportant une pluralité de bornes 4, 5, 6 reliées à un système centralisé 16 de gestion du trafic des autobus.FIG. 3 represents an enriched version of the system according to the invention comprising a plurality of terminals 4, 5, 6 connected to a centralized system 16 for managing bus traffic.

Une telle architecture permet d'intégrer les bornes à un système de gestion du trafic des véhicules de transport en commun au niveau d'une ville ou d'une agglomération, le système ajoutant les informations transmises par les bornes aux informations envoyéesSuch an architecture makes it possible to integrate the terminals with a system for managing the traffic of public transport vehicles at a city or agglomeration level, the system adding the information transmitted by the terminals to the information sent.

Le système de gestion centralisé est dans ce cas agencé pour retransmettre 101, 102, 103 l'information de présence d'une ou plusieurs personnes à mobilité réduite vers les autobus 1, 2, 3 en approche des quais 4, 5, 6 équipés desdites bornes.The centralized management system is in this case arranged to retransmit 101, 102, 103 the presence information of one or more persons with reduced mobility to the buses 1, 2, 3 approaching the platforms 4, 5, 6 equipped with said terminals.

La possibilité d'une transmission directe 104, 105, 106 des bornes vers les véhicules à proximité est conservée.The possibility of a direct transmission 104, 105, 106 of the terminals to the nearby vehicles is retained.

Dans ce cas le système centralisé pourra avantageusement émettre les informations vers les véhicules éloignés et se dirigeant vers les quais où se trouvent des personnes à mobilité réduite alors que les bornes confirmeront la présence de telles personnes aux véhicules proches et éventuellement assureront la commande des palettes 30 des véhicules qui en sont équipés.In this case the centralized system can advantageously transmit the information to the remote vehicles and going to the wharves where there are people with reduced mobility while the terminals will confirm the presence of such persons to nearby vehicles and eventually will control pallets 30 of vehicles that are equipped.

Dans le cas de zones de couverture insuffisantes, les bornes peuvent être en liaison avec un ou plusieurs dispositifs relais 27 pour accroître la couverture géographique du système.In the case of insufficient coverage areas, the terminals may be in connection with one or more relay devices 27 to increase the geographical coverage of the system.

Comme vu précédemment les bornes 4, 5, 6 comportent des moyens d'alimentation électrique autonomes 17, 18, ces moyens comportant avantageusement au moins une batterie 17 et un panneau solaire 18.As previously seen terminals 4, 5, 6 comprise autonomous power supply means 17, 18, these means advantageously comprising at least one battery 17 and a solar panel 18.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux les bornes sont adaptées pour émettre une information de numéro de ligne et les véhicules comportent un dispositif de traitement adapté à ne communiquer au conducteur l'information de présence de personnes à mobilité réduite qu'en cas de correspondance entre la ligne du véhicule et de l'information de numéro de ligne.According to an advantageous embodiment, the terminals are adapted to transmit line number information and the vehicles comprise a processing device adapted to communicate to the driver the information of presence of persons with reduced mobility only in the case of correspondence between the vehicle line and line number information.

Un tel système est particulièrement adapté dans le cas d'arrêts à lignes multiples et II est dans ce cas possible selon l'invention d'envisager plusieurs bornes au niveau d'un arrêt, les personnes à mobilité réduite se positionnant en regard de la borne correspondant à la ligne qu'ils envisagent de prendre ou alors, il est possible d'envisager la possibilité que la personne à mobilité réduite sélectionne sa ligne sur une borne unique adaptée pour émettre l'information du numéro de la ligne concernée, de sorte que seul le véhicule en approche correspondant à la ligne concernée ne traite l'information.Such a system is particularly suitable in the case of multi-line stops and it is possible in this case according to the invention to envisage several terminals at a stop, the persons with reduced mobility being positioned opposite the terminal corresponding to the line that they plan to take or it is possible to envisage the possibility that the person with reduced mobility selects his line on a single terminal adapted to transmit the information of the number of the line concerned, so that only the approach vehicle corresponding to the line concerned processes the information.

L'invention n'est pas limité aux exemples décrits et notamment selon un système global restant dans le cadre de l'invention, les bornes étant configurées pour émettre les coordonnées des arrêts où elles se trouvent, le numéro de la ligne auquel elles sont rattachées, les véhicule, équipés d'un système de navigation peuvent comporter un dispositif de validation de l'information à donner au conducteur en fonction de leur position par rapport aux arrêts pourvus de bornes transmettant l'information de présence de personnes à mobilité réduite.The invention is not limited to the examples described and in particular according to an overall system remaining within the scope of the invention, the terminals being configured to transmit the coordinates of the stops where they are, the number of the line to which they are attached the vehicles equipped with a navigation system may include a device for validating the information to be given to the driver according to their position relative to the stops provided with terminals transmitting the presence information of persons with reduced mobility.
