Definitions

  • EP 741 373 B1 Proposals according to which at least on entering and / or leaving the toll area stations are provided which detect the passage of a vehicle and with which a unit installed in the vehicle communicates for the calculation of the fee amount.
  • a method for transit traffic detection, the entry and exit in a given area is detected from the DE-A-10 155 501 known.
  • the following describes a procedure that identifies in a particularly advantageous manner whether a vehicle is driving through a vehicle-locked area or whether the vehicle is a delivery or local traffic. This is achieved by a recognition algorithm based on a typical transit time which is preferably dependent on the type of vehicle and / or the time of day and / or the property of the area (e.g., number of locations, intersections, road types). If this typical transit time or derived reference value is reached or undershot, this is a potential infringement, and if the transit time or the derived reference value is exceeded, this is likely to be ancillary or delivery traffic.
  • a typical transit time which is preferably dependent on the type of vehicle and / or the time of day and / or the property of the area (e.g., number of locations, intersections, road types). If this typical transit time or derived reference value is reached or undershot, this is a potential infringement, and if the transit time or the derived reference value is exceeded, this is likely to be ancillary or delivery traffic.
  • the described automatic transit traffic recognition is carried out in a vehicle device, i. in a device that is installed in a vehicle.
  • An algorithm derived from the above-described procedure runs in the vehicle terminal. This device monitors the areas and times and sends out appropriate information if a potential violation of a driving ban is to be assumed.
  • such a vehicle terminal be it in connection with a toll application or as a driver information or navigation system, has the necessary technical equipment for carrying out transit traffic recognition, so that the expense for implementation can be kept low.
  • the necessary data with regard to transit times, entry points and / or exit points, etc. are held in a protected storage area of the vehicle terminal, wherein changes or additions are made by means of an update of the data from the outside.
  • individual or a plurality of restricted areas are stored in memory.
  • the illustrated approach is not only advantageous for distinguishing transit and adjacent traffic or delivery traffic, but also for detecting whether dangerous goods transports and / or heavy transport traverse unauthorized areas or deviate from predetermined routes.
  • FIG. 1 using a schematic diagram shows the basic procedure for through traffic detection, while in FIG. 2 an embodiment of a device for automatic through traffic detection, which is installed in the motor vehicle, is shown.
  • FIG. 3 Finally, using a flow chart, a preferred embodiment of the computer program implemented in the vehicle terminal for automatic through traffic recognition is sketched.
  • FIG. 4 shows a table for reference transit times of a fictitious area.
  • FIG. 1 By way of example, an area 10 is shown which is blocked for transit traffic, in particular for certain classes of vehicles such as, for example, heavy goods traffic.
  • the area is crossed by various roads 12, 14, 16 and has various entry and exit points (A - F).
  • the passage of an entry point A - F and the passage of one of the exit points A - F of the restricted area is now detected in the terminal installed in the vehicle. This is done in the preferred embodiment by means of a positioning system of the vehicle, for example based on GPS or Galileo signals.
  • a positioning system of the vehicle for example based on GPS or Galileo signals.
  • Other alternatives exist in other positioning methods such as DeadReckoning methods.
  • the length of stay that the vehicle is in at this area separated from the entrance or exit points is determined.
  • This journey time is with a stored reference time for the route between the entry and exit point compared. If this reference time is exceeded, it can be assumed that a supply or ancillary traffic has actually taken place, whereas if it falls below the time it is obvious that there is a violation of the transit ban.
  • the reference value depends on various factors. In doing so, e.g. For each possible combination of entry point and exit point, a specific transit time typical for the restricted area is given. Furthermore, depending on the design, the reference value is determined by factors such as vehicle type (e.g., car, truck, motorcycle) and / or time of day (at night, rush hour, etc.) and / or characteristics of the area (number of intersections, locations, etc.).
  • vehicle type e.g., car, truck, motorcycle
  • time of day at night, rush hour, etc.
  • characteristics of the area number of intersections, locations, etc.
  • the reference transit time may also be dependent on the direction of travel, since the transit time may differ due to gradients or different number of traffic lights in each direction. For example, a trip from A to B may have a different typical transit time than a trip from B to A.
  • FIG. 4 An example of a table stored in the memory of the vehicle terminal for reference transit times (in minutes) for a like in FIG. 1 sketched area is in FIG. 4 shown.
  • FIG. 2 shows a vehicle-mounted terminal 20, which serves to implement the transit traffic detection algorithm as outlined above.
  • the vehicle terminal 20 has a computer element 22 which has at least one memory 24 and input and output circuits 26.
  • the terminal comprises at least one position determining system 28, for example a GPS system, which receives the signals necessary for determining the position via an antenna 30 and determines the Eigenpositiön from these signals.
  • a communication unit 32 is part of the vehicle device, for example a Communication unit to a mobile network (eg GSM, GPRS, UMTS), and / or a short-range communication links such as WLAN, infrared, Bluetooth, DECT, DSRC, etc.
  • the device shown may be a unit specially used for transit traffic detection or an already existing device, for example a telematics device, a toll device, a navigation device, etc., or a part of such a device.
  • the coordinates of the entrances and exits of areas closed to transit traffic are preferably stored as geo-coordinates (longitude, latitude, plus additional capture circle). If the vehicle drives through an entry point into the restricted area, the passage of the entry point is detected on the basis of a comparison of the measured own position and the stored position value range of the entry point. Thereafter, the time that the vehicle has been in the area since the entry point and / or the positions of the vehicle are automatically detected and stored in the internal memory. If the vehicle reaches an exit point (which is determined as shown in connection with the entry point), then the residence time between passing of the entry point until reaching the exit point is determined and compared with a reference transit time stored for this route. The reference transit times are stored as a table in the memory. If the measured residence time is less than or equal to the predetermined reference time, which is formed in the preferred embodiment of reference transit time plus a reserve time, then it is highly likely to be a breach of through traffic restriction.
  • the predetermined reference time which is formed in the preferred embodiment of reference transit time plus a
  • the vehicle identification number, the times when the entry and / or the exit point pass and / or the route recorded on the basis of the recorded positions are then optionally compressed and / or encrypted in the vehicle device and transmitted via the communication unit to a monitoring center.
  • the measured journey time is greater than the reference time, then it is likely to be local traffic or delivery traffic.
  • two variants are possible for a further procedure. Basically it can be assumed that in such a constellation no violation of the Passage restriction exists. This leads to the fact that ignoring the passage restriction and exceeding the reference time, for example due to congestion, accident, blocking, etc., this disregard is not recognized. Communication costs to the center are not incurred.
  • Another variant is that the above-mentioned data of the monitoring center may be compressed and / or transmitted encrypted by means of the communication unit and then decided in the monitoring center on the basis of the lane, whether a disregard of the passage restriction exists or not.
  • Both the entry and exit points and the reference transit time are updated via the communication interface of the vehicle device.
  • the updating of this data via the communication interface is done dynamically, i. depending on the time of day and / or the current traffic conditions. At this time, e.g. In the case of areas which are locked in a time-dependent manner, the data is loaded into the memory of the vehicle device only during the corresponding time. Furthermore or alternatively, in the case of traffic jam reports in an area, the reference times in this area are adapted on the basis of these traffic jam messages and updated by radio.
  • the area and reference time data are stored tamper-proof in the memory of the vehicle device. Depending on the size of the memory of the vehicle device, a predetermined amount of areas with passage restrictions are kept.
  • the described concept for automatic through traffic detection is also used to detect dangerous goods traffic in areas closed to dangerous goods (eg due to water pollution control or tunnels). Geodata of the corresponding restricted areas are then provided in the terminal of the dangerous goods transporter. As shown above, after a recognized passage through such an area, a message is issued. In one embodiment, the reference time for such areas is set to a very high value so that each traversal (even with a break) generates a message.
  • the above procedure is applied inversely.
  • the declared route is programmed as an area, a reference time is given and the time spent in the area is recorded. If the residence time is greater or less than the reference time plus a grace period, a message is issued.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of an embodiment of the above procedure as a computer program.
  • the program is run at predetermined time intervals, for example a few milliseconds, and runs in the vehicle terminal.
  • step 100 the current position of the vehicle is detected by means of the position determination unit. Then, in step 102, the stored positions of entry and exit points of restricted areas, preferably only adjacent to the current position, are compared. If the measured position corresponds to an entry point or if the position is in the capture area of an entry point, then the program is continued with step 104, otherwise it is repeated with step 100.
  • a timer T is started in step 104. Furthermore, in order to prevent an entry point from being recognized several times, a flag is set for the entry point, which prevents the same entry point from being detected a second time in the event of a renewed program run. Furthermore, the position value of the vehicle is stored. In the subsequent step 106, the position of the vehicle is determined again and it is checked in step 108 whether the position is within the capture range of a predetermined exit point of the area in which the vehicle is located. If this is not the case, the program is repeated with step 106. The exit points checked in step 108 are all exit points of this area. If an exit point is detected in step 108, the timer T is stopped in step 110.
  • step 112 the reference time Tmax from the table in the memory for the predetermined route and, if necessary, the vehicle type, the direction of travel, the time of day, the weather conditions, etc. read.
  • step 114 it is checked whether the measured time T is greater than the reference time. If this is the case, it is detected in step 116 that there was obviously a local or delivery traffic, while in the opposite case, in step 118, a transmission of predetermined data to a monitoring center is initiated. After step 116 or 118, the program is repeated in step 100.
