Description

La présente invention concerne une installation destinée à l'identification et à la gestion d'éléments mobiles.The present invention relates to an installation for the identification and management of mobile elements.

Il est entendu par élément mobile, tout type de véhicule susceptible de se déplacer et d'occuper un emplacement pour une durée indéterminée.It is understood by mobile element, any type of vehicle likely to move and occupy a location for an indefinite period.

Ainsi, il peut s'agir d'une voiture sur une place de parking, d'un bateau dans un port, d'un avion dans un aéroport etc.Thus, it may be a car on a parking space, a boat in a port, a plane in an airport etc.

La présente invention s'applique notamment à la gestion et à l'identification des bateaux et des plaisanciers dans un port.The present invention applies in particular to the management and identification of boats and boaters in a port.

Actuellement, lorsqu'un bateau arrive dans un port, une place doit lui être attribuée en fonction de sa taille et des emplacements disponibles dans le port.Currently, when a boat arrives at a port, a spot must be allocated based on its size and available locations in the port.

Des systèmes de gestion tels que celui décrit dans le brevet français FR-A-2 855 894 au nom de la société OPOSYS consiste en un système de détection du bateau une fois à sa place. Ainsi, le nombre et l'emplacement des places disponibles sont rapidement évaluables et donc l'attribution est plus rapide et efficace.Management systems such as that described in the French patent FR-A-2,855,894 on behalf of the company OPOSYS consists of a detection system of the boat once in its place. Thus, the number and location of available places are quickly assessable and therefore the allocation is faster and more efficient.

Cependant, nombre d'inconvénients persistent dans ce type de système. Notamment, le bateau est détecté une fois positionné à son emplacement. Il faut donc autant de détecteurs que d'emplacements, ce qui augmente le coût et la complexité du système. De plus, les communications entre les différents éléments se font par onde infrarouge ou transmission électromagnétique ou par onde radio uniquement. Ce système subit des perturbations électromagnétiques fréquentes dans un environnement portuaire à cause des interférences présentes.However, many disadvantages persist in this type of system. In particular, the boat is detected once positioned at its location. As a result, there are as many detectors as there are slots, which increases the cost and complexity of the system. In addition, the communications between the different elements are done by infrared wave or electromagnetic transmission or by radio wave only. This system experiences frequent electromagnetic disturbances in a harbor environment because of the interference present.

Par ailleurs, il n'y a aucune gestion du plaisancier. En effet, lorsque le plaisancier arrive dans un port, il doit remplir une fiche avec les données le concernant et celles de son bateau. Cette fiche est ensuite saisie par le personnel de la capitainerie qui imprime les contrats et effectue les différentes formalités. Ce processus de saisie est critique pour la gestion des ports et est considéré par les plaisanciers et le personnel des ports comme une contrainte. Cette double saisie provoque une perte de temps et un problème de fiabilité dans les données saisies. De ce fait, les données plaisanciers ne sont pas réutilisables par les ports et les organismes de tourisme par exemple pour faire des campagnes d'information et de communication.In addition, there is no management of the boater. Indeed, when the boater arrives in a port, he must fill a card with the data concerning him and those of his boat. This form is then entered by the captain's staff who prints the contracts and carries out the various formalities. This seizure process is critical to harbor management and is considered by boaters and port staff as a constraint. This double entry causes a loss of time and a problem of reliability in the data entered. As a result, the boating data are not reusable by the ports and the tourist organizations for example to make campaigns of information and communication.

Il existe donc le besoin de proposer une installation d'identification et de gestion d'éléments mobiles permettant de résoudre tout ou une partie des inconvénients des systèmes de l'état de la technique.There is therefore the need to provide a mobile element identification and management facility to solve all or part of the disadvantages of systems of the state of the art.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une installation destinée à l'identification et à la gestion d'éléments mobiles comprenant au moins un transpondeur disposé sur un élément mobile et au moins une unité de gestion de transpondeur apte à recevoir des données transmises par au moins un transpondeur caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend :

  • au moins un module portable de support de données d'identification d'un porteur et un identifiant d'au moins un élément mobile et au moins un moyen de lecture desdites données,
  • une base centrale apte à recevoir et à associer les données d'identification transmises par au moins un moyen de lecture et les données transmises par au moins une unité de gestion de transpondeur.
For this purpose, the present invention relates to an installation for the identification and management of mobile elements comprising at least one transponder disposed on a mobile element and at least one transponder management unit able to receive data transmitted by the least one transponder characterized in that it comprises:
  • at least one carrier identification data carrier module and an identifier of at least one movable element and at least one means for reading said data,
  • a central base capable of receiving and associating the identification data transmitted by at least one reading means and the data transmitted by at least one transponder management unit.

Cette installation présente l'avantage de détecter et d'identifier tous les éléments mobiles pénétrant dans une zone, puis de recueillir rapidement des données du porteur et de l'élément mobile par l'intermédiaire d'un module portable de support de données.This facility has the advantage of detecting and identifying all mobile elements entering a zone, and then quickly collect data from the carrier and the mobile element via a portable data carrier module.

Ainsi, l'installation selon l'invention permet une gestion rapide des éléments mobiles dans le port et permet l'attribution optimisée des places disponibles.Thus, the installation according to the invention allows a fast management of the mobile elements in the port and allows the optimized allocation of the available places.

De plus, grâce au module portable de support de données, des données sur l'élément mobile et sur le porteur sont rapidement recueillies ce qui limite les temps d'attente à la capitainerie du port et fiabilise la saisie de ces données.In addition, thanks to the portable data carrier module, data on the mobile element and on the carrier are quickly collected, which limits waiting times at the harbor master's office and makes the capture of these data more reliable.

Le transpondeur est disposé sur l'élément mobile et son avantage est de ne transmettre de signal que lorsqu'il est stimulé par au moins une unité de de gestion de transpondeur. Ce principe fondamental permet d'économiser la batterie du transpondeur disposé sur l'élément mobile.The transponder is disposed on the mobile element and its advantage is to transmit signal only when it is stimulated by at least one transponder management unit. This fundamental principle saves the transponder battery disposed on the movable element.

Avantageusement le transpondeur communique avec au moins une unité de gestion de transpondeur par la technologie Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) et avantageusement par le standard Radio Frequency Token (RF TOKEN).Advantageously, the transponder communicates with at least one transponder management unit by the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and advantageously by the Radio Frequency Token (RF TOKEN) standard.

Selon une possibilité l'unité de gestion de transpondeur est constituée d'une antenne, d'un émetteur-récepteur de liaison radio avec le transpondeur et un élément de gestion qui permet de gérer, de contrôler les temps et les fréquences d'émission, et de retour d'informations.According to one possibility, the transponder management unit consists of an antenna, a radio link transceiver with a transponder and a management element which makes it possible to manage and control the transmission times and frequencies. and feedback.

Avantageusement l'unité de gestion de transpondeur est installée à l'entrée d'une zone, par exemple une infrastructure portuaire soit à chaque emplacement, soit selon une autre possibilité dans des embarcations mobiles. Cette dernière possibilité permet la recherche en mer d'embarcations perdues ou volées.Advantageously, the transponder management unit is installed at the entrance of an area, for example a port infrastructure either at each location, or according to another possibility in mobile boats. This last possibility allows the search at sea of lost or stolen boats.

L'unité de gestion de transpondeur pourra être dotée d'antennes différentes en fonction des usages souhaités. En effet, leur portée pourra aller de 50 mètres à plusieurs kilomètres.The transponder management unit may be provided with different antennas depending on the desired uses. Indeed, their range may range from 50 meters to several kilometers.

Une disposition avantageuse est de pouvoir grouper plusieurs unités de gestion de transpondeur pouvant être reliées ensemble pour permettre la géolocalisation par triangulation.An advantageous arrangement is to be able to group several transponder management units that can be linked together to allow geolocation by triangulation.

La combinaison de la technologie RF TOKEN avec d'autres technologies du type de positionnement global par satellite (GPS) permet d'apporter une solution d'identification des éléments mobiles et la détermination du sens du mouvement et de l'emplacement de l'élément mobile.The combination of TOKEN RF technology with other Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technologies provides a solution for identifying mobile elements and determining the direction of movement and location of the element. mobile.

Avantageusement le module portable de support de données comprend une carte à puce de stockage avantageusement de 4 à 16 kilooctets pouvant stocker de 4000 à 8000 caractères.Advantageously, the portable data storage module comprises a storage chip card advantageously 4 to 16 kilobytes that can store 4000 to 8000 characters.

Le moyen de lecture dudit module portable de support de données est avantageusement un lecteur encodeur sans contact. Le moyen de lecture desdites données est connecté à une base centrale.The reading means of said portable data carrier module is advantageously a contactless encoder reader. The means for reading said data is connected to a central base.

Selon la caractéristique principale de l'invention la base centrale est apte à recevoir et à associer les données transmises par le moyen de lecture et les données transmises par l'unité de gestion de transpondeur.According to the main characteristic of the invention the central base is able to receive and associate the data transmitted by the reading means and the data transmitted by the transponder management unit.

Ainsi la base centrale associe les données du plaisancier à celles de l'élément mobile.Thus the central base associates the data of the boater to those of the movable element.

De manière avantageuse, par rapport à l'état de la technique, l'installation selon l'invention repose sur un réseau de communication filaire constitué des réseaux électriques existants. Ce réseau permet la communication sécurisée en temps réel entre les unités de gestion de transpondeur, la base centrale, les moyens de lecture et les différents éléments pouvant être ajoutés à l'installation tels que les automates du port suivant un protocole compatible avec le standard : MODTF « marina open data transfer file ». De plus des services techniques tels que les détecteurs de présence ou les unités de gestion de transpondeur ou les moyens de lecture pourront être logés dans les bornes électriques et alimentés directement en électricité, ce qui résout le problème de batterie et sa maintenance. C'est donc une architecture plus robuste et plus facile à maintenir.Advantageously, compared with the state of the art, the installation according to the invention is based on a wired communication network consisting of existing electrical networks. This network allows secure communication in real time between the transponder management units, the central base, the reading means and the various elements that can be added to the installation such as the PLCs of the port following a protocol compatible with the standard: MODTF "marina open data transfer file".

Figure 1 : schéma de principe de l'invention.Figure 1: schematic diagram of the invention.

De manière classique, un transpondeur est disposé sur un élément mobile 1.In a conventional manner, a transponder is placed on a mobile element 1.

Le transpondeur comporte avantageusement un récepteur de bande de fréquence Ultra Haute Fréquence (UHF), un microcontrôleur à mémoire étendue, un logiciel de télétransmission sécurisée et de gestion embarqué du module et une pile ou batterie permettant une autonomie d'environ 5 ans.The transponder advantageously comprises an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) frequency band receiver, an extended memory microcontroller, a secure remote transmission and on-board module management software and a battery or battery allowing a battery life of about 5 years.

Lorsque l'élément mobile 1 arrive à proximité d'au moins une unité de gestion de transpondeur 2, celle-ci active par des signaux le transpondeur qui lui renvoie en retour un signal radiofréquence spécifique de l'élément mobile 1. Les informations transmises par le transpondeur sont ensuite envoyées à une base centrale 3. La transmission entre l'unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 et la base centrale 3 ainsi que l'alimentation électrique de l'unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 se fait avantageusement par l'architecture électrique et/ou informatique du port déjà existante.When the mobile element 1 arrives close to at least one transponder management unit 2, the latter activates the transponder by signals which sends back to it a specific radiofrequency signal of the mobile element 1. The information transmitted by the transponder are then sent to a central base 3. The transmission between the transponder management unit 2 and the central base 3 as well as the power supply of the transponder management unit 2 is advantageously done by the electrical architecture and / or computer of the already existing port.

Ce dispositif permet la détection de l'élément mobile 1 ainsi que sa gestion. Par ailleurs, une fois l'élément mobile 1 identifié et positionné un module portable de support de données 4 d'identification d'un porteur et d'identification d'au moins un élément mobile 1 peut être lu par un moyen de lecture 5. Les données recueillies par les moyens de lecture 5 sont transmises à ladite base centrale 3.This device allows the detection of the mobile element 1 and its management. Moreover, once the mobile element 1 has been identified and positioned, a portable data carrier module 4 for identifying a carrier and for identifying at least one mobile element 1 can be read by a reading means 5. The data collected by the reading means 5 are transmitted to said central base 3.

Avantageusement la base centrale 3 associe les données d'identification transmises par l'unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 et par le moyen de lecture 5.Advantageously, the central base 3 associates the identification data transmitted by the transponder management unit 2 and by the reading means 5.

Dans la suite de la description l'élément mobile 1 sera appelé un bateau et le porteur un plaisancier sans que cela ne limite l'invention.In the rest of the description the mobile element 1 will be called a boat and the carrier a boater without this limiting the invention.

Dans son port d'attache le plaisancier encode ses données personnelles dans son module portable de support de données 4. Les données peuvent être du type nom, prénom, adresse principale, numéro de téléphone, e-mail, nationalité, langue, il peut y avoir des données sur le port d'attache, des données sur les ports d'escale favoris du plaisancier, des données techniques sur le type d'encodage ainsi que des données sur le bateau.In his home port the boater encodes his personal data in his portable data storage module 4. The data can be of the type surname, first name, main address, telephone number, e-mail, nationality, language, there can Have data on the home port, data on the boater's favorite ports of call, technical data on the type of coding as well as data on the boat.

Un transpondeur est positionné sur le bateau, le transpondeur émet un signal radiofréquence spécifique de l'élément mobile 1 lorsqu'il est stimulé par une unité de gestion de transpondeur 2.A transponder is positioned on the boat, the transponder transmits a specific radiofrequency signal of the mobile element 1 when it is stimulated by a transponder management unit 2.

Ainsi, lorsque le bateau arrive dans un port, au moins une unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 est située à l'entrée du port. L'unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 émet un signal qui est reçu par le transpondeur 2 qui répond à ce signal en envoyant son identifiant radiofréquence. L'unité de gestion du transpondeur 2 transmet alors cette information à une base centrale 3 par exemple située dans la capitainerie.Thus, when the boat arrives at a port, at least one transponder management unit 2 is located at the port entrance. The transponder management unit 2 transmits a signal which is received by the transponder 2 which responds to this signal by sending its radiofrequency identifier. The transponder management unit 2 then transmits this information to a central base 3, for example located in the harbor master's office.

Le transpondeur peut alors avantageusement comporter une boussole ou un GPS permettant son positionnement ou selon une autre possibilité plusieurs unités de gestion de transpondeur 2 peuvent être positionnées pour permettre une géolocalisation par triangulation.The transponder can then advantageously comprise a compass or a GPS allowing its positioning or according to another possibility several transponder management units 2 can be positioned to allow geolocation by triangulation.

Une fois le bateau amarré le plaisancier peut présenter son module portable de support de données 4 à un moyen de lecture 5 par exemple un lecteur encodeur sans contact présent à chaque emplacement ou dans la capitainerie. Les données portées par le module portable de support de données 4 sont transmises à la base centrale 3. La base centrale 3 peut alors associer les données d'identification transmises par le moyen de lecture 5 à l'identifiant radiofréquence de l'élément mobile 1 transmise par l'unité de gestion de transpondeur 2.Once the boat is docked the boater can present his portable data storage module 4 to a reading means 5 for example a contactless encoder reader present at each location or in the harbor master's office. The data carried by the portable data carrier module 4 is transmitted to the central base 3. The central base 3 can then associate the identification data transmitted by the reading means 5 to the radiofrequency identifier of the mobile element 1 transmitted by the transponder management unit 2.

De manière rapide et simple la capitainerie peut alors avoir accès aux informations sur le bateau et sur le plaisancier.In a quick and easy way the captaincy can then have access to information about the boat and the boater.

Le module portable de support de données 4 peut alors permettre la gestion des fluides dans le port tels que l'eau, l'essence ... ou l'accès à certaines zones réservées aux plaisanciers telles que les douches.The portable data support module 4 can then allow the management of fluids in the port such as water, gasoline ... or access to certain areas reserved for boaters such as showers.

Le module portable de support de données 4 est avantageusement résistant aux conditions maritimes. Il est avantageusement du type d'un badge.The portable data carrier module 4 is advantageously resistant to maritime conditions. It is advantageously of the type of a badge.

Lorsque le bateau sort du port, il est automatiquement détecté par l'unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 située à l'entrée du port et ainsi sa place est immédiatement libérée et peut tout de suite être réattribuée. La gestion du port en est ainsi améliorée.When the boat leaves the port, it is automatically detected by the transponder management unit 2 located at the entrance of the port and thus its place is immediately released and can immediately be reassigned. The management of the port is thus improved.

Lors d'une visite ultérieure, dès l'entrée de l'élément mobile 1 dans le port, son transpondeur émettra un identifiant radiofréquence à au moins une unité de gestion de transpondeur 2 qui le transmettra à la base centrale 3. La base centrale 3 sera déjà en possession des données d'identification de l'élément mobile 1 et du porteur, l'élément mobile 1 pourra alors très rapidement être informé de l'attribution de son emplacement.During a subsequent visit, as soon as the mobile element 1 enters the port, its transponder will transmit a radiofrequency identifier to at least one transponder management unit 2 which will transmit it to the central base 3. The central base 3 will already be in possession of the identification data of the mobile element 1 and the carrier, the mobile element 1 can then very quickly be informed of the allocation of its location.

Par ailleurs, l'installation selon l'invention donnera la possibilité au plaisancier de pouvoir saisir les données d'identification sur un serveur internet permettant la réservation en ligne et la transmission de ces données d'identification au port réservé.Furthermore, the installation according to the invention will give the opportunity to the boater to enter the identification data on an internet server for online reservation and transmission of these identification data to the reserved port.

Le module portable de support de données 4 fournit avantageusement un élément de base nécessaire à la gestion des bassins de navigation : identification du plaisancier, attestation de libération de place, gestion des forfaits valables pour le bassin de navigation (achat d'un forfait de 5 nuits dans son port d'attache et utilisation de ces nuits dans les ports d'escale ou achat d'un forfait de fluide ou de jetons de douche utilisable dans l'ensemble des ports de la région) etc. Ce module peut être géré 24 h/24 h par un moyen de lecture 5 tel qu'un lecteur encodeur disponible sur les pontons pour des fonctions de « départ en croisière », achat de service, libération et de places, déclaration d'arrivée, paiement automatique de taxes de séjour.The portable data support module 4 advantageously provides a basic element necessary for the management of the navigation basins: identification of the boater, clearance clearance certificate, management of packages valid for the navigation basin (purchase of a package of 5 nights in his home port and use these nights at ports of call or purchase a flier package or shower tokens usable in all ports in the region) etc. This module can be managed 24 hours a day by reading means such as an encoder reader available on the pontoons for functions of "cruise departure", purchase of service, release and seats, declaration of arrival, automatic payment of tourist taxes.
