Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the sector of motor vehicles, both for private use and for commercial or public use. More specifically, the invention regards an apparatus that can be easily installed on currently existing vehicles, which is designed to provide the occupants with the possibility of making a request for rescue for medical care and/or mechanical assistance, both upon command and automatically in the event of accident, providing autonomously all the identifier information regarding the vehicle and its position to a purposely provided operating centre.
  • GPS satellite systems
  • accelerometric systems for determining possible collisions of the vehicle
  • wireless-communication systems typically for cellphones, for example, GSM
  • Some of these also enable direct communication with the occupants of the vehicle, either on the initiative of a centre that provides the service or on the initiative of the occupants themselves, for requests for rescue or in general for handling emergencies.
  • handling of emergencies or rescue is typically a function accessory to other main functions, such as, for example: antitheft functions, functions of tracking or management of the vehicles, or else collection of data of interest for the insurance companies.
  • the European Community has launched a project, referred to as "e-call", having the purpose of determining European standards for sending warnings for rescue either automatically (determining any possible impact with accelerometric systems and in particular surveying the possible activation of airbag devices) and on the initiative of the occupants of the vehicle itself.
  • the main purpose of the present invention according to the claim 1 is hence to provide a device presenting the peculiarities listed below.
  • the above has been obtained, according to the invention, by providing a device that can be installed on board a vehicle, which is designed to enable the occupants to use the services for rescue provided by the operating centre with which it communicates, the device comprising: wireless phone means for communication with an operating centre for supply of information and/or for rescue, means for reception of GPS signals, handsfree communication means, and means for detecting whether the vehicle has suffered an accident.
  • the rescue services are requested:
  • the invention forwards a request for rescue to the operating centre.
  • the transmission of the request for rescue whether it be automatic via crash sensors or manual via a first priority emergency pushbutton, initially regards sending of data: information is sent regarding the vehicle, its position, and the type of request (automatic in the case of an accident and/or manual via pushbutton). Immediately after, the communication passes onto the audio channel.
  • the operator of the operating centre is able to display the data sent and set up a telephone contact with the persons on board the vehicle. This enables verification of the conditions of the persons and agreement upon the procedure and type of rescue operation.
  • a battery integrated in the device guarantees operation of the apparatus even when, during the accident, the main battery of the vehicle has been destroyed.
  • the second pushbutton enables interaction with the centre for provision of services, for example information services ( Figure 2 ).
  • the device described which can be installed on board an already existing vehicle, enables the driver and the passengers to use the rescue services, which will be provided by an operating centre with which it can communicate either automatically (following upon an accident) or manually (following upon operation of a purposely provided pushbutton).
  • the invention is designed to enable transmission of data and voice, preferably through a single channel. It is also possible to envisage operation through two separate channels, by providing a switch between the two channels that is sufficiently fast and reliable.
  • the GSM antenna and the GPS antenna are integrated inside the device itself.
  • the device forwards a request for rescue to the operating centre:
  • the transmission starts with sending of data comprising information on the vehicle, its position, and the data characterizing the accident.
  • the communication passes onto the audio channel.
  • the operating centre is then able to display the data sent and set up a contact with the driver so as to agree, where possible and necessary, upon the modes of rescue, and hence co-ordinate sending of rescue squads.
  • FIG. 2 summarizes schematically the main functionalities of the invention.
  • the device basically comprises:
  • the device can be easily installed inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
  • the pushbutton for manual calls, the warning LEDs, and the microphone are preferably provided in the front part, at the centre of the dashboard or in the proximity of the driver so as to facilitate the call operations.
  • the device according to the invention can be connected to the vehicle through two supply conductors of the vehicle (battery positive and negative), and possibly also via an optional conductor for supply of the instrument panel of the vehicle.
  • a backup battery for enabling sending of the data to the operating centre and dialogue with the operator of the centre, for at least 15 minutes, even in the case where, during the accident, the connection with the main battery of the vehicle fails.
  • the invention also comprises means for detection of the crash event. Said means are based simply upon control of the threshold of the value of the acceleration that the device (and hence the vehicle on which it is installed) undergoes. If the acceleration is greater than a pre-set threshold value (for example, 2g ⁇ 20 m/s 2 ), then a crash event is detected, which activates the communication with the operating centre.
  • a pre-set threshold value for example, 2g ⁇ 20 m/s 2
  • Said communication with the operating centre in the case of activation of the device, occurs preferably within 40 s, where said time is calculated starting from detection of the accident or pressure applied on the pushbutton of request for rescue.
  • the set of the data to be transferred to the centre has preferably the format indicated in Table 1 below.
  • the total number of bytes to be transmitted in the worst case should not exceed 140 bytes.
  • the position transmitted in the event of accident this will be in any case the current position of the vehicle, even in the case where, on account, for example, of the vehicle turning over, the GPS data were no longer available.
  • the not reliability of the position is signalled (bit 4 of the first data byte), and the last position detected in a valid way is transmitted within the Optional Data.
  • the pushbutton for sending a request for rescue has ample dimensions, and enables manual sending of calls.
  • the invention is provided with handsfree communication means that enable the user to dialogue with the operating centre without having to use his or her hands and without having necessarily to approach the device itself.
  • a buzzer for signalling some information of major interest, such as, for example, a rescue call having been sent, etc. Operation of the buzzer is preferably obtained by sending a tone on the loudspeaker of the handsfree device.
  • a second embodiment differs from the first embodiment described so far substantially in that it comprises a Telepass module constituted by an integrated Telepass device connected to the microcontroller, preferably by means of a serial port.
  • the Telepass device is preferably supplied by an internal battery.
  • the presence of the integrated Telepass module is not simply a design choice that is limited to providing the Telepass function already supplied by known Telepasses, but enables provision of additional services that are possible precisely because the device is able to detect whether the vehicle is on a motorway and on which motorway.
  • the operating centre may manage a possible rescue request via the motorway network itself by sending a warning directly to the body responsible for motorway, without the user having to abandon the vehicle to reach the nearest SOS post.
  • the services for information on the traffic may be specialized to a significant extent using the information proper to the motorway network specific for the stretch of road travelled along and the direction in which the user is travelling, thus overcoming the current imprecisions of GPS.
  • a variant of the invention shown in Figures 5 and 6 , is characterized by a peculiar shape of the body of the device, which in this case is provided with atop curvature specifically studied to adapt it to the curvature of the various windscreens in the case where it is intended, as is preferable, to install it in contact with the top edge of the windscreen.
  • the body of the device has two lateral flanges where the microphone and the loudspeaker of the handsfree device are respectively housed, which in this way are kept at a distance from one another, enabling a clear conversation preventing the Larsen effect even in a noisy environment (consider, for example, an accident occurring in bad weather conditions, people who are speaking aloud or are shouting, the radio that has remained on, etc.).
  • Said protuberances can be provided with appropriate means for engagement to a purposely provided slide that can be fixed to the vehicle, which enables the device to be rendered removable.
  • the pushbuttons are set in a position corresponding to the rear protuberance thus preventing the device from tilting when pressure is applied on the pushbuttons and providing, instead, an appropriate resting base when pressure is applied.
