Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an on-board communication device that detects a ground communication device in a system that transmits and receives, for example, position information used for moving vehicle control between the ground and the vehicle, and more particularly to prevention of possible misdetection of the ground communication device.
  • information is transmitted from the ground to a vehicle via a ground communication device installed on the ground and an on-board communication device installed on the vehicle.
  • the ground communication device is wirelessly supplied with power by the on-board communication device using a driving power wave. After the power supply, the ground communication device transmits information to the on-board communication device by electromagnetic coupling using a frequency different from the frequency of the driving power wave.
  • a magnetic field intensity received from the ground communication device is utilized to determine that the on-board communication device has entered and exited the communication range of the ground communication device (hereinafter expressed as "the ground communication device has been detected").
  • the magnetic field intensity is maximized when an electrically central position of the on-board communication device aligns with an electrically central position of the ground communication device.
  • the magnetic field intensity decreases with increasing distance between the electrically central position of the on-board communication device and the electrically central position of the ground communication device. This characteristic is used to set an appropriate threshold of one or more and to determine that the ground communication device has been detected when the magnetic field intensity exceeds the threshold.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-8103
  • Patent Document 2 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-70021
  • possible shaking of a moving vehicle varies vertical and lateral positional relations between the on-board communication device and the ground communication device.
  • the signal level of the received magnetic field intensity and the like may fluctuate across the threshold.
  • the on-board communication device detects one ground communication device a plurality of times, thus hindering normal moving vehicle control.
  • the present invention provides an on-board communication device that has a first threshold and a second threshold for low speed traveling in connection with a threshold for determining that a ground communication device has been detected based on a magnetic field intensity received from the ground communication device, the first threshold being a ground communication device entry side threshold and the second threshold being a ground communication device exit side threshold.
  • the thresholds have a hysteresis property that resists noise. This prevents possible misdetection of the ground communication device during low speed traveling.
  • an on-board device which has a third threshold for traveling and in which the on-board communication device switches among the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold depending on an operating condition of a moving vehicle determined based on, for example, speed information on the moving vehicle to prevent a possible shift in the communication range between the on-board communication device and the ground communication device during traveling.
  • the present invention can provide an on-board device that prevents possible misdetection of the ground communication device during low speed traveling including vehicle stop.
  • FIG. 2 shows a general configuration of the present invention.
  • An on-board communication device including a computing section 2-2 and an antenna 2-3 is mounted on a moving vehicle 2-1.
  • a speed detector 2-6 mounted to a wheel 2-5 detects a vehicle speed.
  • the speed detected by the speed detector 2-6 is transmitted to an on-board control section 2-4 that ensures safety of a vehicle.
  • Speed information utilized by the on-board control section 2-4 is transmitted to an on-board communication device 2-2.
  • Each of the on-board control section 2-4 and the speed detector 2-6 are duplicated, and thus, the speed information used by the on-board control section 2-4 is very secure.
  • the on-board communication device 2-2 switches between a threshold beyond which the on-board communication device 2-2 determines that a ground communication device 2-7 has been detected during low speed traveling when the moving vehicle 2-1 is near a stop position such as a bus stop and a threshold beyond which the on-board communication device 2-2 determines that the ground communication device 2-7 has been detected during high speed traveling.
  • the ground communication device entry side threshold is hereinafter referred to as a first threshold.
  • the ground communication device exit side threshold is hereinafter referred to as a second threshold.
  • a threshold used for high speed traveling is a third threshold.
  • the first threshold increases a determination level compared to the third threshold.
  • the second threshold reduces the determination level compared to the third threshold. This provides the thresholds with a hysteresis property, offering resistance to noise caused by shaking and the like of the moving vehicle during low speed traveling including vehicle stop.
  • a flowchart in FIG. 4 shows an operation flow of detection of the ground communication device according to the present invention.
  • the third threshold is defined as a magnetic field intensity received by the on-board communication device when the distance between the ground communication device and the antenna of the on-board communication device is equal to L.
  • FIG. 5 shows relations between the magnetic field intensity and the distance between the antenna and the ground communication device.
  • the moving vehicle is traveling from a left side to a right side in FIG. 5 .
  • the magnetic field intensity received by the antenna increases consistently as the antenna mounted on the moving vehicle approaches the ground communication device as shown at 5-1.
  • the antenna receives a magnetic field intensity higher than the third threshold. This allows the on-board communication device to determine that the ground communication device has been detected (determine that the antenna has entered the communication range). That is, the on-board communication device determines that the antenna is present within the communication range of the ground communication device.
  • the moving vehicle passes over the center of the ground communication device.
  • the on-board communication device receives a magnetic field intensity lower than the third threshold. Then the on-board communication device determines that the antenna has exited the communication range of the ground communication device. That is, the on-board communication device determines that the antenna is present outside the communication range of the ground communication device.
  • a carrier frequency used for communication from the ground communication device to the on-board communication device is equal to or lower than 10 MHz, and the maximum communication range L is equal to or smaller than about 2 m.
  • the magnetic field intensity received by the on-board communication device attenuates in proportion to the cube of the distance between the ground communication device and the on-board communication device in accordance with a neighborhood solution.
  • C a coefficient dependent on the construction of the ground communication device and the antenna
  • the antenna mounted on the moving vehicle shakes in the vertical direction along with the moving vehicle.
  • the range of the shake is denoted by ⁇ h
  • the maximum value ⁇ h max of the range of the shake can be approximated to the difference in the height of the moving vehicle between when the moving vehicle is full of passengers (full vehicle) as shown at 6-1 in FIG. 6 and when the moving vehicle has no passenger (empty vehicle) as shown at 6-2.
  • H 2 C / L - ⁇ ⁇ h max 3
  • H 3 C / L + ⁇ ⁇ h max 3
  • the third threshold is changed to the first threshold and the second threshold when the moving vehicle is stopped so as to prevent the change in magnetic field intensity from causing the on-board communication device to detect entry into and exit from the range of communication with the ground communication device.
  • the on-board communication device can determine that the moving vehicle is stopped based on speed information provided by the on-board control section.
  • the first threshold and the second threshold are set as follows so as to prevent the Expressions (3) and (4) from being affected by the maximum range of fluctuation of the magnetic field intensity occurring when passengers get on and off the moving vehicle.
  • the on-board communication device determines that the moving vehicle has left and that loading and unloading of passengers has ended, based on the speed information provided by the on-board control section. Subsequently, the on-board communication device returns the threshold for the magnetic field intensity to the third threshold in order to limit the communication range between the antenna and the ground communication device to L. If the on-board communication device uses the first threshold and the second threshold for all the speed regions of the moving vehicle instead of switching the threshold depending on the speed, the communication range shifts by ⁇ h max in a direction in which the moving vehicle travels as shown in FIG. 7 .
  • FIG. 1 shows relations between the vehicle speed of the antenna with respect to the ground communication device and each of the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold.
  • FIG. 8 shows relations among the distance, the magnetic field intensity, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold.
  • FIG. 9 is a diagram showing relations between the time and the magnetic field intensity received at the antenna which are observed when the moving vehicle full of passengers is stopped inside the boundary of the communication range (and closer to the ground communication device) between the antenna of the on-board communication device and the ground communication device and when passengers then get off the moving vehicle.
  • the magnetic field intensity received by the antenna of the on-board communication device while the moving vehicle is stopped as shown at 9-2 slightly exceeds the third threshold.
  • the on-board communication device determines that the ground communication device has been detected (determines that the antenna has entered the communication range).
  • the on-board communication device Upon determining that the moving vehicle is stopped based on the speed information, the on-board communication device changes the third threshold to the first threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the ground communication device has been detected (determines that the antenna has entered the communication range) and the second threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the antenna has exited the communication range.
  • the on-board communication device changes the third threshold to the first threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the ground communication device has been detected (determines that the antenna has entered the communication range) and the second threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the antenna has exited the communication range.
  • a door of the moving vehicle is opened, and the passengers get off the moving vehicle.
  • the moving vehicle vibrates up and down and moves away from the ground communication device.
  • the received magnetic field intensity behaves as shown at 9-4.
  • the on-board communication device since the threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the antenna has exited the communication range has been changed to the second threshold, the on-board communication device does not determine that the antenna has exited the communication range. At this time, if the present invention is not used and only one type of threshold is provided, then the on-board communication device repeatedly determines, at a point 9-4, that the antenna has exited the communication range and that the ground communication device has been detected (that the antenna has entered the communication range).
  • FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a case where an empty moving vehicle is stopped slightly outside the boundary of the communication range of the antenna of the on-board communication device and where passengers get on the moving vehicle until the moving vehicle is full.
  • the magnetic field intensity received by the antenna of the on-board communication device while the moving vehicle is stopped as shown at 10-2 is slightly lower than the third threshold.
  • the on-board communication device does not determine that the ground communication device has been detected (not determine that the antenna has entered the communication range).
  • the third threshold changes to the first threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the ground communication device has been detected (determines that the antenna has entered the communication range) and the second threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the antenna has exited the communication range.
  • the door of the moving vehicle is opened, and passengers get on the moving vehicle.
  • the moving vehicle vibrates up and down and approaches the ground communication device.
  • the received magnetic field intensity behaves as shown at 10-4.
  • the on-board communication device since the threshold beyond which the on-board communication device determines that the ground communication device has been detected (determines that the antenna has entered the communication range) has been changed to the first threshold, the on-board communication device does not determine that the ground communication device has been detected. At this time, if the present invention is not used and only one type of threshold is provided, then the on-board communication device repeatedly determines, at a point 10-4, that the ground communication device has been detected (that the antenna has exited the communication range) and that the antenna has entered the communication range. Thus, one ground communication device is detected a plurality of times.
  • the speed information is transmitted to the on-board communication device via the on-board control section in order to allow the use of reliable speed information.
  • the speed information may be transmitted from the speed detectors directly to the on-board communication device.
  • speed detection needs a high safety arrangement such as duplication.
  • the speed information may be reliable information resulting from a duplication process carried out by an automatic vehicle control device mounted in the vehicle.
  • the on-board communication device determines whether the moving vehicle is traveling at high speed (the moving vehicle is traveling) or at low speed (the moving vehicle is stopped).
  • another device such as the on-board control section may make this determination and report to the on-board communication device by communication.
  • a speed beyond which the moving vehicle is determined to be traveling at high speed (the moving vehicle is traveling) or at low speed (the moving vehicle is stopped), that is, a vehicle speed at which the threshold is switched, may be equal to or lower than a speed limit for the vicinity of a stop position (for example, 45 km/h). Alternatively, the speed may be a speed close to zero.
  • the above-described embodiment determines whether the moving vehicle is traveling or stopped based on the speed information.
  • a device that can detect whether the door is open or closed may be provided to allow determination of whether the moving vehicle is traveling or stopped based on door open and close information from the device, in turn allowing a change of the threshold for the magnetic field intensity. That is, when the door is closed, the on-board communication device determines that the moving vehicle is traveling and then determines the positional relation between the on-board communication device and the ground communication device using the third threshold as described above. When the door is open, the on-board communication device determines that the moving vehicle is stopped and then determines the positional relation between the on-board communication device and the ground communication device using the first and second thresholds as described above.
