Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vehicle device for a road toll system, with a transceiver for short-range radio communication either with toll beacons or with respect to these deeper control beacons according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Road toll systems with onboard units that work with roadside short range radio beacons allow locating the OBUs based on the beacon locations and their spatially limited radio coverage areas. As a result, local uses of the OBU can be charged, for example in the form of road, entrance or parking toll.
  • the shortest possible range of the radio communication is advantageous, which is only limited by the minimum time for a radio communication.
  • OBUs are currently equipped with an upwardly radiating directional antenna, which cooperates with over the roadway arranged toll beacons in a narrow radio coverage area.
  • the WO 2010/045966 describes a vehicle communication system for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure connections in which the messages are supplemented by metadata with additional routing information.
  • Each communication user is a router and selects the most suitable antenna (s) for message forwarding based on the evaluated routing information. Since used in road toll systems vehicle devices usually have no routing function and require additional metadata in the news re-standardization and consequent simultaneous exchange of all existing vehicle equipment, the described approach is not satisfactory.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a vehicle device for a road toll system, which overcomes the described problems of the prior art.
  • an OBU is created with an adapted to the location and thus the function of their respective communication partner radio coverage area.
  • the OBU learns when contacting a toll or Kontrollbake of their identity and can set the appropriate antenna characteristics based on this information:
  • an upwards or obliquely upward-forward radiating antenna characteristic is set, and for the Control option by usually mobile control beacons of the surrounding flow traffic is set a lateral or "flatter”, preferably around laterally directed or omnidirectional antenna characteristics.
  • the said identifier is a BST message (beacon service table message) according to the DSRC standard, as they are the first contact of toll beacons DSRC standards.
  • BST message may also wake an OBU from a low power standby mode, for example.
  • the OBU is set to the second antenna characteristic before starting a radio communication in order to be readily addressable for control beacons at any time.
  • the vehicle device of the invention is suitable for all types of road toll systems based on short-range radio beacons, for example according to the WLAN or WAVE standard. Its use is particularly favorable in a DSRC road toll system, in which case the transceiver is a DSRC transceiver, preferably according to the CEN or WAVE standard.
  • a road toll system 1 includes a plurality of toll beacons 2 distributed over a geographical area, only one of which is shown as representative.
  • the toll beacons 2 are each stationarily placed on a street 3.
  • the term "stationary” used here includes both permanently anchored and transportable toll bollards 2 set up only temporarily on a road 3. In each case, the location O of its installation in the road toll system 1 is known.
  • the toll beacons 2 are short-range radio beacons, preferably according to the DSRC standard (dedicated short range communication standard), and serve to perform short-range or DSCR radio communications 4 with vehicle units 5 (onboard units, OBUs) of passing vehicles 6.
  • the OBUs 5 in turn have short range or DSCR transceivers 7, which will be described later in more detail with reference to Fig. 2 be explained.
  • tolling transactions are subsequently generated by the tolling beacons 2 and, for example, deposited via a data connection to a (not shown) control center of the road tolling system 1.
  • the stationary toll beacons 2 are arranged next to or above the road 3 at a certain height, for example on a bridge supporting the road 3, a mast arranged next to the road 3 or the like.
  • the transceiver 7 of an OBU 5 assumes a first antenna characteristic in a short-range radio communication 4 with a toll beacon 2, which is directed to an area 8 above the OBU 5.
  • the region 8 is, for example, a cone-shaped or club-shaped upward or obliquely upward (“skyward”) or in particular obliquely forward and upward aligned transceiver region.
  • this orientation of the radio coverage area of the OBU 5, which is advantageous for the toll-beacon radio communications 4, is disadvantageous if the OBU 5 is to be interrogated by mobile control beacons 9.
  • the check beacons 9 are carried for example by a control vehicle 10, which is on the road 3, for example in the same or opposite Direction of travel to the vehicle 6 moves. But the check beacons 9 can also be stationary, for example, placed on the roadside, for example, at driveways to parking garages. The check beacons 9 are comparatively lower than the toll beacons 2 with respect to the OBU 5.
  • the OBU 5 assumes a second antenna characteristic which has a radio coverage area 12 which covers the area in front of, or around, the vehicle 6 or the OBU 5 includes, as in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the area 12 may include the area 8.
  • the radio coverage area 12 approximately horizontally in front of the vehicle 6, possibly even slightly laterally club-shaped in front of the vehicle 6.
  • the radio coverage area 12 is thus relatively "deeper" than the radio coverage area. 8
  • the OBU 5 is thus able to assume two different antenna characteristics and thus radio coverage areas 8, 12, u.zw. depending on whether it carries out a radio communication 4 with a tollbaket 2 or a radio communication 11 with a control beacon 9, in particular of the surrounding flow or oncoming traffic. This will now be based on Fig. 2 explained in more detail.
  • the transceiver 7 of the OBU 5 has an antenna system 13, which is switchable between two antenna characteristics, u.zw. once for the radio coverage area 8 and once for the radio coverage area 12.
  • the respective antenna characteristics can be adjusted via a control line 14 of the antenna installation 13, for example.
  • the antenna system 13 may comprise two antennas 15, 16 which can be switched over by a switch 17, which is to be understood schematically, by a signal from the control line 14.
  • the antenna system 13 could also be formed by a switchable antenna arrangement, as they in the US 2010/0045536 A1 or by a controllable phase array of individual antennas as known to those skilled in the art.
  • the antenna characteristic of the OBU 5 or the antenna system 13 is controlled depending on the position at which the OBU 5 in the road toll system 1 is relative to the locations of the toll beacons 2.
  • the OBU 5 has a position determination device 18 with which it determines its own position P in the road toll system 1.
  • the position determination device 18 can, for example, detect known terrain marks in the vicinity of the OBU 5 in order to determine their position in a digital map, or determine their location by radio triangulation or cell recognition evaluation in a cellular mobile radio network etc.
  • the position determination device 18 is a satellite navigation receiver, in particular a GPS receiver. Receiver, which independently determines the position P of the OBU 5 in a global navigation satellite system.
  • an evaluation device 19 is connected, which may be formed for example by a microprocessor control of the OBU 5.
  • the evaluation device 19 is further supplied to the output of a database 20 in which the known locations O of all stationary toll beacons 2 of the road toll system 1 are stored.
  • the database 2 can for example be included in the production of the OBU 5 as firmware, or it can be loaded and / or updated via the transceiver 7 from a tollbake 2 of the road toll system 1 ago.
  • the evaluation device 19 in each case compares the current position P of the OBU 5, as determined by the device 18, with the locations O of the toll beacons 2 from the database 20. If the position P is within a predetermined range 21 around one of the known toll-bill locations O is the passage of a toll-bake 2 is detected: In this case, the evaluation device 19 controls the antenna system 13 via the Control line 14 so that the first antenna characteristic is set for the upward transmission reception area 8. The radio communication 4 with the toll beacon 2 is then performed with this antenna characteristic. When the OBU 5 leaves the area 21, the antenna system 13 is switched back to the second antenna characteristic for the surrounding radio coverage area 12 so that the OBU 5 is ready and responsive for any control by passing control vehicles 10 with control beacons 9.
  • the position determination device 18 and the database 20 are omitted.
  • the evaluation device 19 instead switches the antenna system 13 periodically between the two antenna characteristics for the regions 8 and 12. Once the start of a radio communication 4 or 11 in one of the two switching states, i. in one of the two areas 8, 12, is detected by the evaluation device 19, the periodic switching is suspended and this radio communication continued with exactly this antenna characteristic and brought to an end. Thus, the evaluation device 19 detects the location of the communication partner of the OBU 5, i. Whether it is a toll tower 2 located in the region 8 or a control beacon 9 lying in the region 12, it sets the antenna characteristic accordingly.
  • the evaluation device 19 evaluates the received signals of an antenna system 13 with two separate antennas 15, 16 in parallel and then carries out the radio communication via those antenna 15 or 16, via which the beginning of a radio communication 4, 11, i. the contact was received from a toll-bake 2 or control beacon 9.
  • An embodiment of the OBU 5 according to the invention consists of the fact that, within the scope of a radio communication 4 or 11, an identifier is received from the tollbaket 2 or the control beacon 9, which provides information as to whether it is a tollbaket 2 or a control beacon 9.
  • an identifier is received from the tollbaket 2 or the control beacon 9, which provides information as to whether it is a tollbaket 2 or a control beacon 9.
  • the evaluation device 19 can evaluate this identifier and accordingly set the appropriate antenna characteristic for the area 8 for communication with a tollbaket 2 or for the area 12 for communication with a control beacon 9 in the antenna system 13 of the transceiver 7.
