  • the camera has a zoom function, be it an electronic or an optical zoom function
  • the control device controls the zoom function of the camera in such a way that the camera zooms in front of the camera depending on the respective speed of the vehicle picks up a stretch of roadway before the vehicle reaches the respective stretch of road and / or the particular stretch of road is visible from the vehicle.
  • 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 after the other along the route which 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 of the cameras displayed on the display device as a function of the respective vehicle location and the respective vehicle speed in chronological succession, each switching from one camera to the next, before the vehicle reaches the respective route section and / or the respective route section 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 Be equipped zoom function in the periods between a switch, in which so the image of a single camera is used to perform an adjustment of the image angle and the image section location and speed dependent.
  • the control device is preferably switched from one camera to the next 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 In the FIG. 1 can be seen a vehicle 10, which runs 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.
  • FIG. 1 are representative of two of the cameras shown and designated by the reference numerals 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 relating 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 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 route section is displayed, before which can be stopped in the context of emergency braking.
  • the cameras 50 and 60 are each equipped with a zoom function, which is an electronic zoom or an optical zoom can.
  • a zoom function which is an electronic zoom or an optical zoom can.
  • the zooming effect of the camera 60 is symbolized by way of example with viewing angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2.
  • the camera 60 can be set, for example, so that a relatively close stretch of the distance is detected with the angle of view ⁇ 1.
  • the camera 60 may also be operated so that a relatively far-flung section is taken by the camera 60 in an angle of view that is directed far forward.
  • the image processing device 80 is thus able, with the aid of the control signal ST, to individually control the cameras 50 and 60 in such a way that a lying in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel section depending on the respective vehicle location and the respective vehicle speed is displayed. This allows a driver to early detect any dangers on the forward Steckenabêt and cause, for example, an emergency stop.
  • the operational data B supplied by the vehicle control and / or operation control system 100 may, as already mentioned, be the respective vehicle location and the respective speed of the vehicle 10.
  • other operational data of the vehicle control and / or operation control system 100 can be utilized: It is possible, for example, the distance to the nearest station, to possible danger points, to tunnel entrances, to platform edges, to curves or to sections behind curve areas to take into account in the selection of the image data displayed on the display device 140 and to display separately or highlight particularly hazardous or hazardous sections on the display device.
