Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for managing traffic control devices according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • traffic signs ( ⁇ 39 STVO), traffic facilities ( ⁇ 43 STVO), alternating light signs ( ⁇ 37 STVO), permanent light signs ( ⁇ 37 STVO), green arrow ( ⁇ 37 STVO), danger signs ( ⁇ 40 STVO), regulation signs ( ⁇ 41 STVO) and directional mark ( ⁇ 42 STVO) uniformly generally referred to as "traffic control device”.
  • traffic control device ⁇ 39 STVO
  • traffic facilities ⁇ 43 STVO
  • alternating light signs ⁇ 37 STVO
  • permanent light signs ⁇ 37 STVO
  • green arrow ⁇ 37 STVO
  • danger signs ⁇ 40 STVO
  • regulation signs ⁇ 41 STVO
  • directional mark ( ⁇ 42 STVO) uniformly generally referred to as "traffic control device”.
  • this includes not only traffic control facilities of road traffic, but also those of air, shipping and rail transport and any other traffic in general.
  • VZ Road signs
  • vVZ vertical traffic signs
  • ovVZ fixed vertical traffic signs
  • the image contents are arranged on an image carrier which, depending on the size of the ovVZ, has sheet thicknesses of 2 or 3 mm.
  • variable message signs reusable VZ (temporary VZ) and quality labels.
  • VZ are divided into three size groups depending on three speed ranges.
  • the image contents are usually printed on transparencies, which are then in turn laminated onto the image carrier.
  • Such films may be formed as retroreflective sheeting or non-retroreflective sheeting.
  • the retroreflective sheeting is subdivided into three retroreflective classes based on a specific reflectance value. Due to the constructive structure of the reflective foil, a distinction is made within the reflection classes according to the type of construction.
  • VZs In Germany, for example, reflective tapes from five manufacturers are approved for the manufacture of VZs, which are purely optically different from each other (for example, honeycomb structure, prism structure, etc.).
  • the image content can be applied to the film in two printing processes: screen printing or digital printing.
  • the lettering and, if necessary, contrasting stripes can also be glued on by hand using foil.
  • the printed films can or must be provided with an anti-acid or anti-graffiti coating, which is usually done by a corresponding laminate.
  • the VZ are fastened to set-up devices with various clamps (band clamps, pipe clamps, clamps or special clamps). With these individual types of clamps one distinguishes still different versions.
  • Pipe post As erection devices are predominantly used: Pipe post, tubular frame, pipe masts, MSH masts, lattice towers, triangular and square lattice towers, cantilevers and gantries. These in turn differ in their dimensioning, in the material design and the type of attachment to the ground.
  • Stable anchoring to the subsoil can be achieved by means of ground sockets and / or concrete foundation blocks as well as reinforced concrete foundations.
  • the establishment of traffic signs is a sovereign task of the state, be it the municipalities or the federal, state or district administrations for roads and traffic.
  • N ⁇ HR public budgeting and accounting system
  • the search for a particular traffic sign in the storage locations for example, the construction yards or the traffic safety, currently only by inspection in the camp, which takes a lot of time and is not always successful, because the sought traffic sign not at this location located.
  • the object of the present invention is to specify a method for managing traffic control devices, with which traffic signs or traffic facilities can be easily replaced and inventoried.
  • each traffic control device itself is accompanied by a memory which contains a representative of all desired information about the traffic control device.
  • Such a “memory” in the context of this invention is any means that reproducibly contains such information and representatives. It can be, for example, an optical memory, for example in the form of a bar code or color code, or an electrical or electronic memory.
  • “Representative” in the context of the present invention in the broadest sense means “representative”.
  • the information is not stored directly, but a representative of this information. According to the invention, the representative has a smaller binary size, as the information thus represented itself. Thus, the reading out of the memory can be done much faster.
  • the method according to the invention for managing traffic-influencing devices wherein at least one traffic-influencing device has a memory, is characterized in that a representative of information about this traffic-influencing device is stored in the memory, wherein the representative has a smaller binary size than the information, wherein the Information is stored in association with the representation in a database for inventory, wherein the representative is read from the memory from a distance, the database is accessed and the information associated with the representative is read from the database and displayed.
  • a traffic control device used in the method in particular traffic signs with an image content which is arranged on an image carrier, or traffic device, is therefore characterized in that the traffic influencing device a memory in which a representative of information about the traffic control device are stored.
  • the memory is formed remotely readable, wherein the memory preferably comprises a passive or active transponder, in particular an RFID (radio-frequency identification) tag has. Then it is much faster to recognize which or whether the desired traffic control device is present. For example, one can search for a specific traffic control device in a warehouse or already established traffic control devices, or one determines for a traffic control device in a warehouse or at the site which traffic control device is involved by determining the associated information.
  • a passive or active transponder in particular an RFID (radio-frequency identification) tag has.
  • the memory is arranged with respect to a traffic-facing front side on a side surface or rear side of the traffic control device. Then there is no possible unauthorized influence, for example, the traffic sign, which changes its optically normalized appearance.
  • the information comprises one or more information from the following group: type of traffic influencing device, for example the traffic sign or the traffic device, image content, image material, image carrier, size of the traffic influencing device, speed range, design of the image carrier, type of Image carrier, reflection class of the image content, production method for the image content, coating, method of installation of the traffic control device, installation device of the traffic control device, state of the traffic control device, location of the traffic control device.
  • type of traffic influencing device for example the traffic sign or the traffic device, image content, image material, image carrier, size of the traffic influencing device, speed range, design of the image carrier, type of Image carrier, reflection class of the image content, production method for the image content, coating, method of installation of the traffic control device, installation device of the traffic control device, state of the traffic control device, location of the traffic control device.
  • This information is particularly important for the exact replica of the traffic control device, but there may be other or other information.
  • the representative is designed as an identification number to which the information is assigned, the identification number preferably being calculated from the information. Then the information can be easily assigned to the representative.
  • the calculation can be carried out, for example, as checksum calculation, preferably in the form of a hash value. Instead of a hash value, other checksums may be used, such as checksums, parity bits, fletchers checksums, weighted averages, cyclic redundancy checks, and polynomial divisions.
  • the information in association with the associated representatives are stored in a database.
  • a database can be centralized throughout Germany or even for specific municipalities that require a corresponding inventory. If possible, support companies should also have access to this database.
  • the memory is read from a distance, preferably by moving over, and the information is displayed.
  • a message preferably in the form of a sound or light signal, takes place. This makes it particularly easy to determine whether a particular, possibly already inventarized traffic control device is actually present or what traffic control device it actually is.
  • the location can also be checked, ie whether the traffic control device is located at the previously registered location.
  • the location of the foundation of the traffic control device is determined.
  • the traffic control device has a GPS receiver, for example in the form of a GPS mouse (GNSS), which is arranged in particular directly on the erection device connected to the foundation.
  • GNSS GPS mouse
  • the GPS receiver must be supplied with a suitable power supply, for example photovoltaic.
  • the GPS position can also be determined with an external receiver, which is not connected to the traffic control device.
  • the traffic sign 1 has a stand-up device 3, to which an image carrier 5 is mounted by means of a clamp, not shown. On the image carrier 5 an image content 7 is arranged.
  • the picture content is 7 formed on film, which is provided with an antigraffiti coating.
  • the erection device 3 is a tubular post, which is fixedly arranged in a concrete base block 9 as a stand, namely cast in, wherein the concrete base brick 9 is firmly embedded in a substrate 11.
  • the image carrier 5 is triangular and the image content 7 shows a red triangle 13 with an exclamation mark 15 arranged therein.
  • a passive transponder in the form of an RFID tag 19 is arranged on the underside 17 of the image carrier 5.
  • the traffic sign 1 is not changed in its traffic-facing frontal view 18, in particular, the image content 7 is not changed.
  • the RFID tag 19 appears oversized, which of course he is not in reality, but instead he does not wear on the bottom 17 substantially.
  • the RFID tag 19 contains an identification number which is uniquely linked to information about the traffic sign 1. This link is stored in a database (not shown). Specifically, the following information is stored for the identification number: type of traffic sign, image content, image material, image carrier, size of traffic sign, speed range, design of the image carrier, design of the image carrier, reflection class of the image content, production method for the image content, coating, installation method of the traffic sign, Set-up of the traffic sign, state of the traffic sign, location of the traffic sign.
  • This information was linked in advance by the manufacturer or manufacturer of the traffic sign 1 with the identification number and entered in the database.
  • a corresponding reader 21 which emits high-frequency radio waves 23 to achieve high ranges, to read the RFID tag 19 and to determine its identification number.
  • a suitable program (not shown), for example an application connected to the reader 21, accesses the database and the information associated with the identification number can be displayed on a suitable display device (not shown).
  • To carry out the reader 21 could for example be connected to a suitably equipped mobile radio device, in particular a smartphone.
  • a suitable device could then output a signal, for example a signal tone, if the traffic sign associated with the sought identification number was detected. This way, the right traffic sign can be determined quickly while driving by. Subsequently, the information stored on the identification number can be compared with the actual characteristics of the traffic sign 1.
  • traffic control device can be inventoried very quickly and reliably and possibly replaced.
