Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the opening of at least some of the doors for a mass transit passenger vehicle.
  • US20080036578 discloses a method and a device for controlling the opening of doors of trains and automobiles, wherein a detecting unit is detecting a manipulation that is performed on a manipulation member, e.g. a switch, to open or close an opening/closing member, e.g. a door, from the outside of the train or cars.
  • An output unit is outputting a control signal indicating occurrence of an abnormal manipulation if manipulation of the switch is detected in a state that the open operation of the vehicle door is prohibited.
  • buttons accessible to passengers such that the passengers can request opening of the doors of the vehicle at the next passenger pickup/drop-off station stop, by pressing on one of said buttons.
  • Such buttons may also be used to request opening of the doors when the vehicle is at such a station.
  • Such buttons are manipulated by the passengers on a bus and may transmit microbes. In fact, a sick passenger or a passenger whose hands are contaminated may place microbes or germs on such a button thereby risking migration onto the hands of another passenger. This is particularly sensitive in case of an epidemic.
  • the invention more particularly aims to resolve these drawbacks by proposing a new method for controlling the opening of doors with reduced risks of disease transmission. To that end, the invention relates to a method for controlling the opening of doors for a mass transit passenger vehicle, according to claim 1.
  • the mass passenger transit vehicle in which the method of the present invention is implemented incorporates one or more of the following features:
  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the opening of at least some of the doors of a mass transit passenger vehicle that comprises a contactless detector that is adapted to send a door opening signal to a control unit controlling at least one door actuator, the method being characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps:
  • such a method may incorporate one or more of the following features, considered in any technically allowable combination:
  • the vehicle diagrammatically shown in figure 1 is a bus 2 that comprises a chassis (not shown) supported by wheels, two of which are shown in figure 1 , bearing reference 4.
  • the bus 2 is equipped with doors 6 that are mounted in pairs and that are each hinged around a vertical axis Z6.
  • the pivoting of each door 6 around its articulation axis Z6 is controlled by an actuator 8 which can be an electric motor or a pneumatic actuator.
  • the various actuators are controlled by an electronic control unit 10, using electrical signals S10. In practice, unit 10 controls at least one actuator 8
  • a post 12 is positioned that is equipped with a contactless detector 14, that contactless detector being connected by an electrical line 16 to the unit 10, to which it provides an electrical signal S14 usable by said unit.
  • connection between the detector 14 and the unit 10 might be wireless.
  • the detector 14 uses the lines 16 to send a signal S14 to the unit 10 indicating that an object is in front of it and has been detected.
  • the signal may then be interpreted as a request to open the doors 6, as emerges from the explanations that follow.
  • the user is not required to pass the hand in front of the contactless detector 14, and that a user wishing to obtain opening of the doors 6 may pass an object such as a glove, hat or handbag.
  • the elements 8, 10 and 14 together form a device D for opening the doors 6 for the bus 2.
  • a detector of the infrared type is preferred inasmuch as it operates correctly, independently of the lighting conditions of the passenger compartment of the bus 2. This is important, since these conditions can vary quite rapidly, for example when the bus enters or leaves a tunnel.
  • the detector 14 may be a commercially available product such as that marketed by Biotime Technology under reference BK1.
  • Two cases are considered: either the bus is stopped, i.e., it is stopped at a passenger pickup/drop-off station, or the vehicle is in motion, i.e., it is on a journey between two pickup/drop-off stations.
  • the speed of the vehicle might be null, for example when the vehicle is waiting at a red traffic light.
  • the unit 10 If the passenger actuates the contactless detector 14 by passing a hand or another object in front of it while the bus 2 is stopped, the unit 10 considers that the signal S14 then emitted by the detector 14 is a request to open the doors and grants it, immediately.
  • the signal S14 emitted by the detector 14 may be a request to open the doors at the next bus stop.
  • any "false requests" should be taken into account resulting from a prolonged upright stance of one or more passengers in front of the detector 14.
  • the control unit 10 takes into account the time during which an object is present in front of the detector 14, i.e., the duration during which said detector is actuated, to estimate whether the actuation in question corresponds to an actual request to open the doors or is a false request, related to the fact that a passenger or object is standing in front of the detector 14.
  • a step 100 is considered in which the detector 14 is actuated due to the fact that an object or part of the body of a passenger is located in front of that detector.
  • the unit 10 detects whether the bus 2 is in motion or not, by having access to the control parameters of the bus 2.
  • the unit 10 When the bus 2 is stopped at a passenger pickup/drop-off station, the unit 10 implements logic branch L1 by considering that opening of the doors has been requested and granting a request during a step 120, during which the unit 10 controls the motors 8 to open the doors 6, using signals S10.
  • the unit 10 implements a logic branch L2 during which it determines, during a step 130, the duration d 14 during which the detector 14 is actuated. This determination occurs using a clock integrated into the unit 10 and which counts the time between the first moment t 1 where the detector begins to be actuated and the second moment t 2 , after the first moment, where it ceases to be actuated.
  • the duration d 14 is then compared to a threshold value ⁇ T, during a step 140.
  • the threshold value ⁇ T is set so as to eliminate false requests to open the doors as much as possible.
  • the value ⁇ T is set as a function of a filling coefficient K of the bus 2.
  • the bus 2 is equipped with a cell 18, of the photoelectric or equivalent type, that makes it possible to determine the approximate density of passengers in the passenger compartment of the bus 2.
  • the bus 2 is also equipped with a pressure sensor 20 mounted on air cushions equipping at least one axle of the bus 2. This pressure sensor 20 makes it possible to estimate the mass transported by the bus 2 and, by deduction, to know the approximate number of passengers transported.
  • Measuring members 18 and 20 each provide the unit 10 with a signal S18, S20 that is used by that unit to determine the filling coefficient K, which may be expressed in percentage of the maximum passenger capacity of the bus 2 or otherwise.
  • the threshold value ⁇ T may assume several values. For example, the threshold value ⁇ T is equal to one second when the bus is "empty" or filled to less than one third of its capacity, 3 seconds when the bus is filled to between one and two thirds of its capacity, and 5 seconds when the bus is filled at more than two thirds of its capacity.
  • step 150 shows the computation of the coefficient K as a function of the signals S18 and S20 provided by the detection members 18 and 20, whereas step 160 shows the step for determining the threshold value ⁇ T as a function of the value of the coefficient K, from values stored in a logic table 22. Steps 150 and 160 may be carried out periodically by the unit 10, for example every 1 second.
  • step 140 makes it so that, when the detector 14 is actuated for more than 3 seconds, i.e., when the duration d 14 is greater than 3 seconds, the unit 10 follows logic branch L3 and considers that a passenger is standing in front of the sensor 14 because he has no other choice to remain within the passenger compartment of the bus 2. In that case, during a step 170, the signal S4 received from the detector 14 is ignored.
  • step 180 the unit 10 follows logic branch L4 and considers that it is indeed receiving a request to open the doors, which it takes into account in step 180.
  • step 120 the unit 10 to carry out step 120 to in fact open the doors 6 using the actuators 8.
  • Steps 100 to 180 are carried out automatically by the unit 10.
  • the unit 10 is capable of opening only some of the doors 6 of the bus 2. This may be the case when several detectors 14 are distributed in the passenger compartment and only the doors closest to the actuated detector 14 are opened. Such is the case when opening of the door is controlled by zones front/middle/rear.
