Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erfassung und Aufzeichnung von Ruhezeiten eines Fahrers eines Nutzfahrzeugs während eines autonomen Fahrbetriebs nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Nutzfahrzeug zur Durchführung des Verfahrens nach Anspruch 6.The invention relates to a method for recording and recording rest times of a driver of a commercial vehicle during autonomous driving according to the preamble of claim 1 and a commercial vehicle for carrying out the method according to claim 6.

Für Fahrer von Nutzfahrzeugen sind Ruhezeiten gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, welche erfasst und für einen Nachweis aufgezeichnet werden müssen. Dies ist beispielsweise in der Verordnung Nr. 165/2014 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates festgelegt. Während eines bisher üblichen Fahrbetriebs eines Nutzfahrzeugs hat ein Fahrer ständig Fahreingriffe, insbesondere durch Lenkeingriffe durchzuführen. Zum Nachweis von Ruhezeiten des Fahrers werden somit bisher Fahrbetriebszeiten mittels sogenannter Fahrtenschreiber erfasst. Ein längerer Fahrbetriebsstillstand kann somit als wahrgenommene Ruhezeit eines Fahrers nachgewiesen werden. Zusätzlich oder gegebenenfalls anstelle des vorstehenden Verfahrens können Ruhezeiten eines Fahrers über Standortdaten, insbesondere GPS-Daten erfasst und nachgewiesen werden, wenn ein Nutzfahrzeug ortsfest über einen längeren Zeitraum, insbesondere auf einem Parkplatz abgestellt wird. Die Ruhezeiten eines Fahrers werden somit bisher unmittelbar aus Ruhezeiten des Fahrbetriebs abgeleitet. Aus der DE 10 2013 205 011 A1 ist ein Fahrtenschreiber bekannt, der im Betriebsmodus Pause ein Rangieren des Fahrzeugs erlaubt, ohne die protokollierte Ruhezeit zu unterbrechen.For drivers of commercial vehicles, rest periods are prescribed by law, which must be recorded and recorded for proof. This is, for example, in Regulation No. 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council. While a commercial vehicle has been operating up to now, a driver must constantly carry out driving interventions, in particular by steering interventions. So far, driving times have been recorded by means of so-called tachographs to prove the driver's rest times. A longer driving standstill can thus be demonstrated as a driver's perceived rest period. In addition or, if necessary, instead of the above method, a driver's rest times can be recorded and verified via location data, in particular GPS data, if a commercial vehicle is parked stationary over a longer period, in particular in a parking lot. So far, the driver's rest times have thus been derived directly from the rest times of the driving operation. From the DE 10 2013 205 011 A1 a tachograph is known which allows the vehicle to be maneuvered in the pause operating mode without interrupting the recorded rest period.

Bei einem vollen autonomen Fahrbetrieb ist dagegen ein Fahrer von allen Fahraufgaben entbunden, so dass längere autonome Fahrbetriebszeiten als Ruhezeiten eines im Nutzfahrzeug mitfahrenden Fahrers gewertet werden können. Bei einer solchen Betriebsart kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass nur ein Teil der Straßen, insbesondere Autobahnstrecken für einen autonomen Fahrbetrieb ausgebaut werden. Ein Fahrer soll im herkömmlichen Fahrbetrieb das Nutzfahrzeug bis zu einer solchen, für den autonomen Verkehr ausgebauten Straße steuern. Beim Erreichen einer solchen Straße wird dann das Fahrzeug in den autonomen Fahrbetrieb gesteuert und der Fahrer kann über eine vorzugsweise große Fahrstrecke und lange Fahrzeit seine Fahrertätigkeit einstellen und eine entsprechende Ruhezeit wahrnehmen. Wenn die Zielregion erreicht ist, kann die Straße für den autonomen Fahrbetrieb wieder verlassen werden und der Fahrer kann das Fahrzeug von Hand bis zum Zielort steuern.In the case of full autonomous driving operation, on the other hand, a driver is released from all driving tasks, so that longer autonomous driving operating times can be regarded as rest periods of a driver traveling in the commercial vehicle. With such an operating mode, it can be assumed that only a part of the roads, in particular freeway routes, are expanded for autonomous driving. In conventional driving, a driver is supposed to steer the commercial vehicle up to such a road, which has been developed for autonomous traffic. When such a road is reached, the vehicle is then steered into the autonomous driving mode and the driver can stop his driver's activity over a preferably long driving distance and a long driving time and take a corresponding rest period. When the target region is reached, the road can be left again for autonomous driving and the driver can steer the vehicle by hand to the destination.

Die US 2014/0303827 A1 beschreibt ein Fahrzeug, das im autonomen Fahrbetrieb betrieben werden kann.The US 2014/0303827 A1 describes a vehicle that can be operated in autonomous driving.

Im vollen autonomen Fahrbetrieb können somit Ruhezeiten während des Fahrbetriebs wahrgenommen werden, so dass die eingangs beschriebenen bisherigen Verfahren zur Erfassung von Ruhezeiten nicht verwendet werden können.In full autonomous driving mode, rest periods can thus be perceived during driving mode, so that the previous methods for recording rest times described above cannot be used.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zur Erfassung und Aufzeichnung von Ruhezeiten eines Fahrers eines Nutzfahrzeugs aufzuzeigen, mittels dem die Ruhezeiten in einem autonomen Fahrbetrieb einfach und zuverlässig erfasst werden.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for recording and recording the rest times of a driver of a commercial vehicle, by means of which the rest times can be detected simply and reliably in an autonomous driving mode.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen offenbart.This object is achieved with the features of the independent claims. Preferred developments are disclosed in the subclaims.

Gemäß Patentanspruch 1 wird ein Verfahren zur Erfassung und Aufzeichnung von Ruhezeiten eines Fahrers eines Nutzfahrzeugs während eines autonomen Fahrbetriebs vorgeschlagen. Erfindungsgemäß wird mittels wenigstens eines Sensors, vorzugsweise eines Hand-Sensors, und einer Erfassungs- und Auswerteeinheit die Position und/oder das Bewegungsprofil der Hände des Fahrers in einem Fahrerhaus bezüglich eines Lenkrads erfasst und aufgezeichnet. Die erfasste Position und/oder das erfasste Bewegungsprofil der Hände des Fahrers wird dergestalt ausgewertet, dass die Zeiten, in denen sich die Hände des Fahrers entfernt vom Lenkrad befunden haben, als wahrgenommene Ruhezeiten festgestellt und erfasst werden.According to claim 1, a method for detecting and recording rest times of a driver of a commercial vehicle during autonomous driving operation is proposed. According to the invention, the position and / or the movement profile of the driver's hands in a driver's cab with respect to a steering wheel is recorded and recorded by means of at least one sensor, preferably a hand sensor, and a detection and evaluation unit. The detected position and / or the detected movement profile of the driver's hands is evaluated in such a way that the times in which the driver's hands have been away from the steering wheel are determined and recorded as perceived rest periods.

Zudem wird vorzugsweise wenigstens eine Mindestzeit, insbesondere eine gesetzliche festgelegte Mindestzeit, vorgegebenen, in der sich die Hände des Fahrers durchgehend entfernt vom Lenkrad befinden müssen, um als wahrgenommene Ruhezeit festgestellt und aufgezeichnet zu werden. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass nur ein kurzzeitiges Loslassen des Lenkrads oder nur eine kurze Lenkpause nicht als gesetzlich vorgeschriebene, (relativ lange) Ruhezeit gewertet wird.In addition, at least a minimum time, in particular a legally stipulated minimum time, in which the driver's hands must be constantly away from the steering wheel in order to be determined and recorded as the perceived rest time is preferably specified. This ensures that only a brief release of the steering wheel or only a short steering break is not considered a (relatively long) rest period prescribed by law.

Dieses Verfahren zur Erfassung von Ruhezeiten wird erfindungsgemäß während eines autonomen Fahrbetriebs des Nutzfahrzeugs durchgeführt. Zudem können damit auch die bisher wahrgenommenen Ruhezeiten bei einem Fahrzeugstillstand erfasst und dokumentiert werden.According to the invention, this method for detecting rest periods is carried out during autonomous driving of the commercial vehicle. In addition, the previously perceived rest periods when the vehicle is at a standstill can be recorded and documented.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens kann mittels wenigstens eines Körper-Sensors die Position und/oder das Bewegungsprofil des Körpers des Fahrers, insbesondere bezüglich einer Liege im Fahrerhaus, erfasst und aufgezeichnet sowie zur Feststellung wahrgenommener Ruhezeiten ausgewertet werden. Damit kann gegebenenfalls eine Liegeposition eines Fahrers auf einer Liege im Fahrerhaus als Ruhepause in Verbindung mit einem fehlenden Griff am Lenkrad erfasst und dokumentiert werden. Bevorzugt ist der wenigstens eine Körper-Sensor dabei einem Fahrerhaus des Nutzfahrzeugs, insbesondere eines als Lastkraftwagen ausgebildeten Nutzfahrzeugs, zugeordnet, um die Position und/oder das Bewegungsprofil des Fahrers auf einfache und zuverlässige Weise bestimmen zu können.In a further embodiment of the method, the position and / or the movement profile of the driver's body, in particular, can be determined by means of at least one body sensor with regard to a couch in the driver's cab, recorded and recorded and evaluated to determine perceived rest periods. If necessary, a driver's lying position on a couch in the driver's cab can be recorded and documented as a rest in connection with a missing handle on the steering wheel. The at least one body sensor is preferably associated with a driver's cab of the utility vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle designed as a truck, in order to be able to determine the position and / or the movement profile of the driver in a simple and reliable manner.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens können zudem mittels einer Sensorik medizinische Daten, insbesondere Pulsdaten, des Fahrers erfasst und bezüglich dessen Gesundheitszustands ausgewertet werden. Gesundheitsprobleme eines Fahrers während eines autonomen Fahrbetriebs können zu kritischen Fahrzuständen führen, wenn der Fahrer die Fahrzeugführung bei Bedarf nicht mehr übernehmen kann. Unabhängig von einer Ruhezeiterfassung oder in Verbindung mit einer Ruhezeiterfassung ist es daher vorteilhaft, Gesundheitsdaten an eine externe Steuerzentrale zu übermitteln, von der bei Gesundheitsproblemen gegebenenfalls in den autonomen Fahrbetrieb eingegriffen werden kann.In a further embodiment of the method, medical data, in particular pulse data, of the driver can also be recorded by means of a sensor system and evaluated with regard to the driver's state of health. Health problems of a driver during an autonomous driving operation can lead to critical driving conditions if the driver can no longer take over the driving of the vehicle if necessary. Irrespective of a rest time detection or in connection with a rest time detection, it is therefore advantageous to transmit health data to an external control center, which can intervene in the autonomous driving operation if health problems arise.

Die bisher genannten Sensoren werden vorzugsweise im Lenkrad und/oder im Fahrerhaus verteilt und/oder am Fahrer angeordnet. Für die erforderliche Zeiterfassung können übliche Uhrmodule verwendet werden. Für die Erfassung von Bewegungsprofilen und Positionen können an sich bekannte Näherungssensoren, Lichtschranken, Ultraschallsensoren, etc. eingesetzt werden.The sensors mentioned above are preferably distributed in the steering wheel and / or in the cab and / or arranged on the driver. Standard clock modules can be used for the required time recording. Known proximity sensors, light barriers, ultrasonic sensors, etc. can be used for the detection of movement profiles and positions.

Erfindungsgemäß wird als Erfassungs- und Auswerteeinheit eine vom Fahrer zu tragende Armbanduhr mit Computer-Zusatzfunktionen, eine sogenannte Smart-Watch verwendet.According to the invention, a wristwatch to be worn by the driver with additional computer functions, a so-called smart watch, is used as the acquisition and evaluation unit.

Smart-Watches sind für eine Vielzahl von Funktionen und Anzeigen bereits allgemein bekannt. Neben der Zeitmessung kann beispielsweise mit einer bekannten Smart-Watch die körperliche Fitness mittels einer Pulsmessung festgestellt werden und in Verbindung mit einer Standortermittlung die Möglichkeit, einen Hilferuf abzusetzen. Weiter sind Smart-Watches mit eingebauten Projektoren, integriertem Stromerzeuger, Reichweitenanzeigen für E-Bikes, etc. bekannt. Viele mögliche Fähigkeiten solcher Smart-Watches, welche über ihre Zeitmessfunktionen hinausgehen, können auch aus dem Internet als sogenannte Applikationen (Apps) heruntergeladen werden. Mit einer geeigneten App können auch die vorliegenden Verfahrensdaten zur Bestimmung von Ruhezeiten erfasst, ausgewertet und gespeichert werden.Smart watches are already well known for a variety of functions and displays. In addition to the time measurement, a known smart watch can be used, for example, to determine physical fitness by means of a pulse measurement and, in conjunction with a location determination, the possibility of making a call for help. Smart watches with built-in projectors, integrated power generators, range indicators for e-bikes, etc. are also known. Many possible capabilities of such smart watches, which go beyond their time measurement functions, can also be downloaded from the Internet as so-called applications (apps). With a suitable app, the existing process data for determining rest periods can also be recorded, evaluated and saved.

Dazu sollen ermittelte, voll wahrgenommene Ruhezeiten und/oder eine sich aktuell aufbauende Ruhezeit und/oder aktuelle Gesundheitsdaten des Fahrers in der Erfassungs- und Auswerteeinheit, insbesondere in einer Smart-Watch, auslesbar aufgezeichnet werden und/oder mittels einer Datenfernübertragung an eine ortsfeste Steuerzentrale weitergeleitet werden. Eine solche ortsfeste Steuerzentrale kann beispielsweise ein Logistikbüro eines Speditionsbetriebs sein, von dem aus der Einsatz von Nutzfahrzeugen und ihrer Fahrer gesteuert wird.For this purpose, determined, fully perceived rest periods and / or a currently developing rest period and / or current health data of the driver are to be recorded in a readable manner in the recording and evaluation unit, in particular in a smart watch, and / or are to be forwarded to a stationary control center by means of remote data transmission become. Such a fixed control center can be, for example, a logistics office of a forwarding company, from which the use of commercial vehicles and their drivers is controlled.

Weiter wird auch ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Nutzfahrzeug, mit einer Ausrüstung für einen autonomen Fahrbetrieb zur Durchführung eines der vorstehenden Verfahren beansprucht.Furthermore, a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, with equipment for autonomous driving operation for carrying out one of the above methods is also claimed.

Anhand einer Zeichnung wird die Erfindung weiter erläutert.The invention is further explained with the aid of a drawing.

Die einzige Figur zeigt beispielhaft und vereinfacht ein Verfahrensschema zur Erfassung und Aufzeichnung von Ruhezeiten eines Fahrers eines Nutzfahrzeugs während eines autonomen Fahrbetriebs.The single figure shows, by way of example and in a simplified manner, a method scheme for recording and recording rest periods of a driver of a commercial vehicle during an autonomous driving operation.

Das Verfahren wird vom Fahrer oder automatisch beim Übergang in den autonomen Fahrbetrieb gestartet (Block 1).The process is started by the driver or automatically when switching to autonomous driving (block 1).

Falls in der Entscheidungsraute 2 der autonome Fahrbetrieb festgestellt wird, erfolgt der Start der Zeitmessung (Block 3), insbesondere in einer Smart-Watch.If autonomous driving is determined in decision diamond 2, the time measurement is started (block 3), in particular in a smart watch.

In den Entscheidungsrauten 4, 5 wird erfindungsgemäß festgestellt, ob die Hände des Fahrers am Lenkrad liegen und ob ein gleichmäßiger (Ruhe-)Puls des Fahrers erfasst wird. Nur wenn die Hände nicht am Lenkrad liegen und eine Pulsanzeige vorliegt (das heißt der Fahrer ist während des autonomen Fahrbetriebs gesund und trägt seine Smart-Watch) läuft weiter erfindungsgemäß die Zeitmessung, ansonsten wird die Zeitmessung gestoppt (Block 6). Wenn kein oder ein unregelmäßiger Puls des Fahrers erfasst wird, erfolgt ein Warnsignal nach extern, zum Beispiel zu einer externen Steuerzentrale, von der aus dann in einen gegebenenfalls sicherheitskritischen, autonomen Fahrbetrieb eingegriffen werden kannIn decision rhombuses 4, 5, it is determined according to the invention whether the driver's hands are on the steering wheel and whether a steady (resting) pulse of the driver is detected. Only if the hands are not on the steering wheel and there is a pulse display (i.e. the driver is healthy during autonomous driving and wears his smart watch) does the time measurement continue according to the invention, otherwise the time measurement is stopped (block 6). If no or an irregular pulse of the driver is detected, a warning signal is given externally, for example to an external control center, from which it is then possible to intervene in an autonomous driving operation that may be safety-critical

Für den Fall, dass die Zeitmessung ohne Unterbrechung weiterläuft, wird in der Entscheidungsraute 7 festgestellt, ob eine vorgegebene (Mindest-)Ruhezeit, welche insbesondere einer gesetzlich vorgegebenen Mindestruhezeit entsprechen kann, erreicht ist. Nach Erreichen dieser vorgegebenen, zusammenhängenden Ruhezeit erfolgt deren Speicherung (Block 8) zur Dokumentation. Falls eine vorgeschriebene zusammenhänge Mindestruhezeit nicht erreicht wird (Entscheidungsrate 7) erfolgt ein erneuter Durchlauf. Gegebenenfalls erfolgt bei einer erreichten Mindestruhezeit ein Weiterlauf der Zeitmessung bis zu einer tatsächlichen Gesamtruhezeit und/oder eine Aufsummierung von aufeinanderfolgenden Ruhezeiten (Block 9) mit anschließender Speicherung (Block 8).In the event that the time measurement continues without interruption, it is determined in decision diamond 7 whether a predetermined (minimum) rest period, which can in particular correspond to a legally prescribed minimum rest period, has been reached. After reaching this predetermined, coherent rest time, it is saved (block 8) for documentation. If there is a prescribed interrelation, minimum rest is not reached (decision rate 7) there is a new run. If a minimum rest period has been reached, the time measurement continues until an actual total rest period and / or a summation of successive rest periods (block 9) with subsequent storage (block 8).
