Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control system for regulating the passage of motor vehicles and a device for outputting an information carrier to a user of a control system.
- Border crossings and toll roads are examples of this, such as parking garages or parking lots in city centers or shopping centers.
- Control systems for passage control generally have a barrier 100 or at least one signal transmitter, such as a traffic light, with which the motor vehicle driver is informed of the release or blocking of the passage.
- the release takes place either automatically or in response to an input by the driver into the control system.
- a parking garage for example, in systems according to the state of the art, the amount due is initially at a cash machine or a cash register. paid.
- the motor vehicle driver receives a card or the like, which he inserts on leaving the parking garage into an input device 200 of the control system, whereupon the passage is released by lifting a barrier and / or the lighting up of a suitable signal.
- the control system issues the card or a receipt again and the barrier 100 is only opened after this process confirmation has been removed.
- Similar systems are also used when the passage is to be controlled by individual people, for example at a ski lift or at the entrance to a subway.
- the present invention is therefore based on the problem of developing the control systems from the prior art explained above in such a way that important additional information is more likely to be taken note of.
- the present invention is based on the problem of supplementing existing control systems in a cost-effective manner in order to ensure that the functionality explained is achieved, ie that certain information is passed by a user, for example a driver or a person, when passing through the control system Be noted.
- the present invention solves this problem according to a first aspect by providing a control system, in particular for an entrance or exit from a parking garage, with a blocking and / or display device that blocks or clears a passage for a motor vehicle , an input device which can be actuated to release the passage, the actuation of the input device optionally comprising the receipt of a process confirmation, and an output device which is independent of the input device and which has at least one information carrier ready, the blocking and / or display device providing the Passage only released when the information carrier has been removed from the output device.
- the additional information is thus not only presented passively, but is actively coupled with the approval of the passage. Only when the motor vehicle driver has removed the information carrier provided does he achieve the desired goal of clearing the passage. This ensures with almost 100% probability that the information carrier will get inside the vehicle and be noted there by the driver, the passenger or other people. Special traffic rules of a travel destination or safety regulations on a toll road can be conveyed with the control system according to the invention just as reliably as advertising messages.
- the blocking and / or display device releases the passage after a predetermined time after actuation of the input device even without the information carrier being removed. This provides the driver with a minimum of freedom of choice and allows him to forego the information medium offered - for example an advertising brochure.
- the output device preferably has a storage device for a number of preferably identical information carriers. If the storage device no longer has any information carriers, the blocking and / or the display device preferably releases the passage immediately after actuation of the input device.
- the control system can thus automatically switch from the operating mode according to the invention to the normal state known from the prior art when no more information carriers are available for output.
- the control system preferably also has a monitoring system which, in the event of a malfunction in the input device and / or the output device, instructs the blocking and / or display device to release the passage.
- the input device identifies the motor vehicle driver and / or the motor vehicle. This enables the blocking and / or display device to release the passage even without the removal of an information carrier if the motor vehicle driver and / or the motor vehicle belongs to a predetermined group. This further development of the invention is used, for example, in parking garages which are also used by long-term parkers and to which the information carrier is not to be offered again each time the car park is driven in or out.
- the present invention relates to a device for outputting an information carrier, in particular an advertising medium, to a user of a control system with a detection unit with a Sensor for contactlessly detecting an actuation of the control system by the user and an output unit which is designed to hold the information carrier ready for removal by a user when an actuation of the control system is detected.
- the device according to the invention can be used as an additional module without any conversion measures directly next to an existing control device, for example a barrier at the entrance to a parking garage of a shopping center or the like. to be ordered. Every time a user actuates the control system, for example removes a card on which the time at which the user enters the parking garage is stored, this process is detected by the sensor according to the invention. Since the sensor works without contact, it does not necessarily need to be tightened up with the existing control system, i.e. in the illustrated example of the barrier control.
- the sensor can be, for example, an infrared sensor, a light barrier, a camera with appropriate image processing or the like. include. A combination of several sensors is also conceivable in order to reliably detect the actuation of the control device by the user.
- the output unit of the device according to the invention then has the information carrier ready, for example with safety instructions for using the parking garage or with an advertising voucher for the connected shopping center.
- the user will then very likely take this information carrier, just because he cannot see in the short time available whether this is necessary for the clearance of the passage or the like. is required or not. As a result, it is ensured that the content of the information carrier is noted by the user.
- the device preferably has no electrical signal connection to the control system.
- This embodiment can therefore be installed and uninstalled with minimal technical effort, for example for a time limited promotions or information campaigns.
- An alternative embodiment has an interface for generating an electrical signal connection to the control system. This enables the two systems to be interconnected, be it to influence the function of the control system as in the exemplary embodiments explained above or only to ensure, in addition to the contactless sensor, that an information carrier is output at the correct time.
- the sensor is preferably arranged such that it detects the user and / or a vehicle in which the user is located when the control system is actuated. This can easily be achieved with the sensor technologies mentioned above as examples.
- the output unit of the device also has control means which at least partially retract the information carrier when the user does not remove it. This can ensure that the information carrier is reissued the next time it is pressed by another user and is thus actually perceived. An actively issued information carrier is more likely to be received by a user than a passively presented medium.
- the device preferably also has a display unit in order to inform the user of the removal of the information carrier provided. This can be done using suitable optical displays, displays, flashing lights with and without acoustic support.
- the content and shape of the display unit is preferably designed to be adaptable.
- Fig. 1 A control system according to the prior art.
- Fig. 2 A schematic representation of the basic elements of the control system according to the invention in a preferred embodiment
- Fig. 4 A schematic side view of a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention in addition to a control system with a barrier;
- control system explained could also be part of a customs clearance system at a border.
- the information carrier provided by the output system could be a leaflet with the special traffic regulations or the like. be trained in the country of entry.
- Another conceivable application is the output of a data carrier at the beginning of a toll route to record the mileage or the like.With the system according to the invention it can be ensured that not only the data carrier is removed, but the driver also receives additional information about the toll route / toll charges etc. on a takes note of additional information carriers.
- Fig. 2 shows schematically the general structure.
- the passage of motor vehicles from a parking garage is controlled with a barrier 1.
- a control device 10 is located next to or in front of the barrier 1.
- the control device 10 can either be integrated directly with the drive of the barrier 1 or can be arranged separately from it as a separate module, as shown in FIG.
- the modular structure in particular facilitates the retrofitting of existing control systems with the features of the present invention.
- a barrier grille or the like can also be used. serve to block the passage. It is also conceivable to use traffic lights instead or in addition for passage control.
- the control device 10 has two separate devices (cf. FIG. 3).
- an input device 20 for example a suitable slot - a driver who wants to open the barrier 1 first inserts a card or the like, which he received at the cash register or a machine in the parking garage (not shown).
- the card can be removed from the input device 20 either be drawn in or it is issued to the driver again as a receipt (not shown).
- a slot for coins or a payment device with a cash card or the like can also be provided, which optionally also issues a receipt.
- the control device 10 has an additional output device 30 which holds an information carrier 40 ready for removal by the driver. 3 shows this step.
- the information carrier 40 is pushed out in the direction of the motor vehicle standing in front (not shown) through an opening slot in the output device 30. Since the opening slot is essentially at the same height as the control device 10 as the input device 20, the driver can remove the information carrier 40 held ready through the vehicle window. This removal is detected by a suitable sensor - mechanically, optically or in another way. The barrier 1 is then raised so that the passage is released.
- FIG. 3 shows an example of how a large number of information carriers 40 can be stored for output.
- the information carriers 40 for example advertising brochures of a company or safety instructions from the car park operator, are stacked in a storage container 31.
- a suitable mechanism can be used to ensure that exactly one information carrier 40 is kept ready for removal. This individual presentation of an information carrier 40 and the lifting of the barrier 1 only after its removal by the driver ensures with a high degree of certainty that the information carrier 40 gets inside the vehicle and is noted by the driver or other persons.
- the reservoir 31 is preferably refilled from above or from the side.
- a connection to a larger warehouse is also conceivable, which, preferably via a conveyor belt or the like, automatically stores the storage container 31 with information carriers. like 40 supplied to enable uninterrupted operation of the control device 10. However, if all information carriers 40 have been removed, the control device 10 switches over, so that the barrier 1 is raised immediately after the input device 20 has been operated correctly.
- the driver is preferably advised of the information carrier provided.
- the control device 10 can comprise a loudspeaker 11 and / or an optical display 12, by means of which the driver is informed that the barrier 1 only opens when the information carrier provided has been removed.
- the barrier can also be opened without removing an information carrier 40, in order to prevent a long-term parker from being forced to remove the information carrier 40 each time he leaves the parking garage.
- the control device 10 can not only differentiate between occasional users and long-term parkers, but is also able to record when a motor vehicle driver last removed an information carrier 40. If, for example, the information on the information carrier 40 has been changed in the meantime, it may also make sense for the long-term parker to provide the modified information carrier 40 in the manner explained. With this, for example, the car park administration can inform its customers about changed usage regulations. Finally, it is conceivable to expand the control device in such a way that different information carriers are kept available depending on an individual identification of the motor vehicle or its driver.
- the control device 10 preferably has a time delay circuit (not shown), so that the barrier 1 enables the passage after a predetermined time without the information carrier being removed. It is also useful to have an additional monitoring system (not shown) that constantly checks the entire system including the input device and / or the output device and, in the event of a malfunction, instructs the blocking and / or display device to release the passage even without removing an information carrier. A paper jam in the storage container 31 thus does not lead to a total failure of the entire control system.
- the output of data media is also conceivable.
- an advertising department store with its own underground car park could have free CDs or other data carriers ready for removal in this way, which are used to advertise products or services of the department store. It is particularly advantageous if the output device 30 and the storage container 31 are designed such that information carriers of different sizes and types can be provided.
- the advertising medium can be varied flexibly.
- FIGS. 4-6 show a further embodiment of the present invention, which is preferably used as a device to supplement an existing control system.
- an arrangement next to an existing barrier control system of a parking garage or the like is conceivable, with which the passage of a motor vehicle is regulated.
- the present device for outputting an information carrier can also be used together with other control systems, for example a system for controlling the access of individuals to a cable car or a ski lift.
- the technical details of the barrier control are explained in the further description only to the extent that they are important for the output device according to the further embodiment.
- a simple traffic light control or other light signals can be used or all types of mechanical locking devices for people, vehicles, etc.
- the device 310 which in the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 4 comprises a column 310 for receiving the components of the device.
- a column 310 for receiving the components of the device.
- sensors 311 Arranged within the column 310 are one or more sensors 311 which monitor the area in front of one or more input devices 32 of the barrier controller 31.
- the sensor 311 is arranged in the upper area of the column 310.
- Other positions are also conceivable, also outside of the column 310.
- the signals received by the sensor 311 are transmitted via a cable or wirelessly to a central control of the device, which is preferably arranged inside the column 310 (not shown).
- all devices which are able to detect that a user actuates the control system without requiring that the user himself actively act on the device 310 in any way are considered as contactless sensors in the sense of the present invention.
- an infrared sensor, a radar sensor, a light barrier or a camera can be arranged approximately at the level of the input devices 32.
- the use of a contact strip that triggers under the weight of the user or his vehicle is also conceivable. As shown schematically in FIGS.
- the sensor 311 detects, for example, the hand of a user when he operates the input devices 32 of the barrier control 31, for example accepts a card on which the inputs driving time is stored in a parking garage and will later be used to bill the parking fees. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable to detect the user's vehicle when it stops in front of the control system.
- the sensor or sensors 311 are preferably designed to be adaptable in their position and orientation in order to be able to adapt to the respective circumstances of the corresponding control system.
- an output unit 312 outputs an information carrier 320 (see continuous arrow in FIG. 5). Since the column 310 is arranged directly adjacent to the input devices 32 of the barrier control 31, the information carrier 320 is preferably kept ready for the output in such a way that the user can grasp it directly (cf. FIG. 5). The information carrier 320 is preferably kept available with a slight time delay, i.e. after the user has operated the input devices 32 so that he is not unsettled by the information carrier 20 that is output.
- a display 313, preferably also integrated into the column 310, for example an LCD display, can provide additional information, be it on the operation of the input devices 32 or on the information carrier 320 provided.
- the display 313 can refer to a special promotion which is linked to the information carrier 320 in terms of content.
- the content of the display 313 is adaptable and can therefore be adapted flexibly to the content of the information carrier 320 that is presented in each case, but also to the special features of the barrier control 31 arranged adjacent to it. This can be done, for example, by means of appropriate storage media inside the column or, if there is a (wireless) network connection, via an online connection from a remote computer.
- the display 313 or a similar device can also emit acoustic signals and the user's attention can be increased by additional means, such as flashing lights, tickers, etc.
- the design of the advertisement 313 is preferably changeable, so that not only the content of the display 313 but also its external shape can be easily changed.
- a wide variety of media can be considered as information carrier 320.
- data carriers such as free CDs or the like are also available. conceivable or the issue of small samples of a product.
- a storage device 318 for accommodating a large number of information carriers 20 is preferably located in the interior of the column 310, so that the device 310 remains ready for operation over a longer period of time. It is also conceivable to store two or more different types of information carriers 320 (not shown) and to make their output dependent on further parameters. For example, depending on the time of day, it is conceivable to output different advertising media and / or to print the advertising media with current data, for example an identification number, with the display 313 possibly also being adapted.
- the selection between the various information carriers 320 and / or the printing can also be controlled online from a remote computer or under the control of a data processing device (not shown) arranged in the device 310. A combination of these two variants is also possible.
- a time control (not shown) in the device 310 ensures that the information carrier 320 is retracted (see dashed arrow in FIG. 5). On the one hand, this prevents damage to the information carrier 320 and, on the other hand, ensures that every time the sensor 311 detects a user, an information carrier is actually actively being output and kept ready. This increases the user's attention to the information carrier presented, which is therefore much more likely to be perceived by the user than an information carrier which is merely kept motionless.
- additional detection sensors can be used to ensure that a user actually belongs to a desired target group (not shown).
- a suitably arranged induction loop can be used to check whether the user is in a motor vehicle when the sensor 311 detects a user to ensure that the information carrier 320 is only output to an occupant of a vehicle and not to a pedestrian ,
- it can also be ensured, using a corresponding logic circuit, that only one information carrier is output per vehicle. This is important, for example, if the information carrier is a voucher that is issued when entering the car park of a department store.
- the time control already mentioned not only ensures that an information carrier 320 that has not been removed is retracted, but also monitors that no more than a predetermined number of information carriers is output per time unit.
- the view in FIG. 5 shows that the device 310 is preferably arranged at an angle to the input devices 32 of the barrier controller 31. This facilitates the output of the information carrier 320 into an area in front of the input devices 32 of the barrier controller 31, where the user can easily grasp it.
- the most protruding edge 319 of the column 310 is preferably rounded and / or additionally made from a rubber material or the like in order to prevent damage. to avoid damage to an incoming vehicle (see horizontal arrow in the view from FIG. 5).
- the entire device 310 can, for example, be rotatably supported at one corner, so that when it comes into contact with a vehicle, it can yield by rotation, as is shown by the curved arrow in FIG. 4.
- the pillar 310 is preferably very sturdy to prevent damage from vandalism.
- FIG. 6 shows a detailed view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention, in which the device 310 'is implemented as a box mounted on a post.
- the device 310 ' is preferably chamfered or rounded at all front corners 319a facing the user in order to minimize the risk of injuries or damage to a passing motor vehicle (not shown).
- This information preview is preferably of a graphically illustrative type and thus increases the interest of the user in the information carrier 320.
- the barrier controller 31 enables simple electronic coupling, it is advantageous if the device 310 also has an interface 315 with which a signal connection 316 can be established between the two devices (see dashed line in FIG. 4).
- the signal connection 316 is not absolutely necessary due to the use of the explained sensor (s) 311. However, it enables additional functions to be implemented.
- a counter in the control unit (not shown) of the device 310 could store the percentage of release processes from the barrier control 31 in which an additional information carrier 320 was removed by the users. This allows conclusions to be drawn about the degree of knowledge Take safety regulations by the users or also examine the response behavior of the users for advertising measures and corresponding advertising media.
- the device 310 can be arranged next to the barrier control within a very short time, for example for a temporary advertising measure with the voucher when entering the parking garage of a shopping center.
- the device 310 then only has to be connected to the mains via a cable 325 (not shown).
- the required power supply could also be provided by a corresponding connection to the power supply of the barrier controller 31.
- Such a device can be used extremely flexibly and can be implemented, for example, within a few minutes from the entrance to the exit of a parking garage.
- an independent power supply could also be provided by solar energy, the corresponding solar cell or lines being preferably arranged on the top surface and / or the side surfaces of the device 310.
