- the control device preferably controls the zoom function in such a way that, at a greater speed, a section of track further ahead in the direction of travel is displayed than at a comparatively lower speed. In this embodiment, too, a location-dependent and speed-dependent display on the display device can be achieved and the risk of accidents reduced.
- the route monitoring system has a plurality of cameras arranged on the track side, which are arranged one behind the other along the route that can be traveled by the vehicle and record successive route sections of the route, wherein the control device is designed such that it transmits the video data the cameras on the display device as a function of the respective vehicle location and the respective vehicle speed displays in succession and thereby each switching from one camera to the next, before the vehicle reaches the respective section and / or the respective section of the route is visible from the vehicle. Switching allows continuous route monitoring to be achieved.
- the cameras and / or the image processing device can also be equipped with an electronic or optical zoom function in order to adapt the image speed in the time periods between a switching in which the image of a single camera is utilized. kels and the image section depending on location and speed.
- control device will switch over from one camera to the next one in each case in such a way that, at a higher speed, a section of track further ahead in the direction of travel is displayed than at a lower speed on the other hand.
- the at least one display device can be arranged in the driver's cab of the vehicle and / or in a trackside monitoring center.
- the invention further relates to a method for recording and displaying video data relating directly or indirectly to a section of a vehicle which can be traveled by a vehicle, wherein in the method video data is recorded with at least one camera and the video data is displayed on a display device ,
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a route monitoring system according to the invention, in which cameras are equipped with an optical zoom function and a display device is arranged in the driver's cab of the vehicle,
- FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a route monitoring system according to the invention, in which an adaptive adaptation of the image detail and / or the viewing angle is carried out in an image processing device, wherein the display device is arranged in the driver's cab of the vehicle,
- FIG. 3 shows a third exemplary embodiment of a route monitoring system according to the invention, in which a display device is arranged in a trackside monitoring center, and
- FIG. 4 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of a route monitoring system according to the invention with a display device in a trackside monitoring center.
- FIG. 1 shows a vehicle 10 traveling along a predetermined direction of travel F on a route 20.
- the distance ahead in the direction of travel F of the vehicle 10 is designated by the reference numeral 30.
- a track monitoring system 40 is installed having a plurality of trackside cameras.
- two of the cameras are shown as representatives and identified by the reference symbols 50 and 60.
- a control device 70 which is equipped for image processing with an image processing device 80.
- the image processing device 80 is also connected to a vehicle control and / or operation control system 100, which transmits operational data B related to the operation of the vehicle 10 on the route 20 to the image processing device 80.
- the control device 70 is equipped with a radio device 110 which is in a radio link 120 with a radio device 130 of the vehicle 10. To the radio device 130, a vehicle-side display device 140 is connected.
- the route monitoring system 40 according to FIG. 1 can be operated, for example, as follows:
- the cameras 50 and 60 generate video data V which comes to the image processing device 80.
- the image processing device 80 evaluates the video data V and the operational data B of the vehicle control and / or operation control system 100 and generates an indication signal A which is transmitted via the radio signal. Connection 120 is transmitted to the display device 140 and displayed there.
- the image processing device 80 takes into account when forming the display signal A the respective location of the vehicle 10 on the route 20 and the speed of the vehicle 10, in such a way that always in the direction of travel F ahead lying section 30 is displayed on the display device 140. If the vehicle 10 has a high speed, the image processing device 80 will display a section of the road ahead in the direction of travel F and at a lower speed display a section less far or closer to the vehicle. Preferably, a preceding section of the route is displayed before which it can still be stopped in the context of emergency braking.
