Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values determined from GNSS signals (GNSS stands for the English term “Global Navigation Satellite System”, which can be translated as “Global Navigation Satellite System”).
- GNSS stands for the English term “Global Navigation Satellite System”, which can be translated as “Global Navigation Satellite System”
- On-board units for motor vehicles record, among other things, the activities of drivers and vehicles in commercial goods or passenger traffic, such as driving and rest periods of, for example, trucks or driving on toll road sections.
- Deviations and / or jumps of a timer of an on-board unit during a recording of activities can lead to inconsistencies of recording data or also to unusable recording data.
- an on-board unit timer is intentionally or unintentionally set to an incorrect value by an authorized repairer, manipulator, or other means, current on-board units will then operate and record at incorrect time values without receiving or displaying an error message, so you may not initially notice that these values are incorrect.
- today's on-board units for motor vehicles may only be adjusted by specially authorized personnel of certain authorized maintenance facilities. If a driver of a motor vehicle noticed that the timer of an on-board unit of the vehicle assumes the wrong values, he could still not correct the values or only too little.
- An object of the present method is therefore to provide an improved method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle.
- the inventive automatic correction of a current time value of an internal system time can reduce maintenance costs for an on-board unit operating in accordance with the method and / or a vehicle equipped therewith and / or possibly even eliminates the need for a trip to the workshop. Furthermore, a time-consuming manual correction of an internal system time can be dispensed with by the method according to the invention.
- the automatic correction according to the invention of a current time value of an internal system time makes it possible with little effort to frequently correct. In turn, more frequent corrections may result in a better match of a current time value of an internal system time with the actual time.
- the increase in the frequency of correction as can be made possible by the method according to the invention, the reduction of the requirements, for example, with respect to the accuracy of accuracy, allow an internal system time transmitter of an on-board unit.
- the method of the present invention allows automatic correction of a current time value of internal system time, complicating manipulation of an on-board unit's internal timer and / or the effects minimize manipulation.
- the method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values determined from GNSS signals is characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps, namely: the process becomes started, the on-board unit receives GNSS signals, from the GNSS signals, the transmitted GNSS time values are determined, the determined GNSS time values are stored, the steps from the reception of GNSS signals are repeated, until the on-board unit determines a situation suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time when the on-board unit determines a situation suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time, the current value the internal system time of the on-board unit is corrected by setting it to a current GNSS time value.
- the on-board unit for a motor vehicle for performing a method for automatically correcting a value of an internal system time of the on-board unit using time values obtained from GNSS signals has at least the following components, namely: a receiving device for receiving of GNSS signals, a processing means for determining GNSS time values from received GNSS signals, a data memory in which detected GNSS time values are stored, an internal system time generator and a detection means for determining a suitable situation for correction the internal system time of the on-board unit.
- Tachographs are to be emphasized because the present method is particularly intended for a version with a tachograph.
- An on-board unit can be designed so that all components are housed within a common housing. Furthermore, an on-board unit can be designed so that not all components are accommodated in a common housing, but connected to each other.
- the receiving means for receiving GNSS signals separately from the rest of the on-board unit, i. outside a housing in which, for example, the remaining components of the on-board unit are located be arranged.
- the connection between the receiving device and the other components can be made for example with cables or lines and possibly have plugs and sockets or other connection options.
- the processing device for determining GNSS time values from received GNSS signals is arranged together with the receiving device separately from the remaining components of the on-board unit.
- the components of the on-board unit may be arranged in more than two groups, for example by the processing device for determining GNSS time values from received GNSS signals and the receiving device for receiving GNSS signals from one another are spatially separated and also each spatially separate to the rest of the on-board unit, ie outside a housing in which, for example, the remaining components of the on-board unit are located, are arranged.
- the various components of the on-board unit are interconnected.
- An exemplary way to use a memory in a present method is by taking the time values obtained from received GNSS signals directly in a memory Memory are stored.
- a second possibility is to use two memories, wherein time values determined in a first memory from received GNSS signals and values of the internal system time corresponding to a second memory are respectively stored at the time of receipt of the respective GNSS signals. This makes it possible to provide rows of adjacent time values in the first and in the second memory, which can then be used for comparison purposes.
- the GNSS time values can be combined with the corresponding internal time values of the on-board unit that are present at the time of reception stored.
- each pair of GNSS time and internal time can be obtained.
- An example possibility for a simple plausibility check is, for example, a comparison of the time differences within two pairs: If the time difference of the two GNSS time values does not coincide with the time difference of the two time values of the internal system time encoder, this plausibility test is not passed.
- GNSS time values which are plausibility-checked and found to be implausible, can be, for example, measurement errors or manipulated values.
- the on-board unit may log to an internal memory when correcting the value of the internal system time.
- the evaluation of whether a situation for correcting a value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle is appropriate also takes into account the current situation of the vehicle and the current situation with respect to detection of driving and rest periods.
- GNSS time values For a method of automatically correcting an internal system time value of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values obtained from GNSS signals, a distinction can be made between appropriate GNSS time values and inappropriate GNSS time values .
- GNSS time value may be considered inappropriate if a check has revealed that the value is not plausible.
- One or several checks can be carried out to determine the plausibility of a value.
- a GNSS time value may be considered inappropriate if a continuity check of values has revealed leaps over time or deviations or lack of monotony or other deviations from continuous development.
- a GNSS time value may be considered inappropriate if a value is not current. Such a case can occur, for example, if the updating of a value has not been successful. However, it may also be possible to define a time limit up to which an update is permitted. In such a case, values would not be updated over a certain period of time, so that they would no longer be up-to-date in certain implementation variants. Thus, for example, it could be ensured that only those values which were obtained by updating from signals received within the time frame determined on the basis of the upper time limit are classified as suitable.
- An internal system time of an on-board unit means the time given by an internal timer of the on-board unit in which the on-board unit measures the time, i. determines the passage of time.
- a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit is the time value applied to an internal timer at any given time. So this is the value that an on-board unit assumes as the present, more precisely than the present time.
- An internal timer specifies the internal system time.
- a real-time clock may be an internal timer.
- a current GNSS time value may be a time value directly derived from a received GNSS signal or a time value derived from a detected GNSS time value.
- a time value derived from a GNSS time value can be obtained by updating this value based on the progress of an on-board unit's internal system time encoder from the determination of a GNSS time value.
- the updating of a GNSS time value can take place analogously to the updating of an internal system time value. That is, the rate of change of the various time values would be dictated by an internal system time encoder; For example, based on a real-time clock or a timer of the internal system time encoder of an on-board unit.
- An internal timer may include, for example, an oscillator circuit.
- a current time value corresponding to this received GNSS signal it is possible, for example, for a current time value corresponding to this received GNSS signal to be available at any time after receipt of a GNSS signal. If there are multiple GNSS time values, those are the most up-to-date. That is to say: If, for example, there are several GNSS time values determined from received GNSS signals, then in one exemplary embodiment those GNSS time values are the most recent ones, the reception time being the shortest. It is also possible to define in other ways which GNSS values are up to date. Providing current time values allows for more accurate correction of time values. In addition, the provision of current time values allows one to significantly correct the correction of time values for receiving the GNSS signals from which the time values are determined.
- an on-board unit may be continuously tuned to receive GNSS signals during normal operation, for example, during the detection of driving and rest periods, and may continuously store the GNSS time values obtained from received GNSS signals ,
- a situation is not suitable for correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit when no internal system time is available or the internal system time is disturbed.
- GNSS time values only correcting a current time value an internal system time of an on-board unit, if there are a certain number of suitable GNSS values, the number being greater than one. Certain forms of validation for GNSS time values may require the use of multiple GNSS time values.
- the on-board unit classifies any situation as not suitable for correction whenever the on-board unit does not have suitable GNSS time values.
- the method is aborted if the on-board unit has no or too few plausible GNSS time values.
- rates of change of GNSS time values are determined only if there are at least two GNSS signals received from the same GNSS source at different times.
- an additional step which is executed immediately after a situation suitable for correcting a current time value of an internal system time has been performed, it is additionally checked whether the current GNSS time value is within a predetermined tolerance matches the current value of the internal system time of the on-board unit and if there is no match, no correction.
- determined GNSS time values are checked for their suitability for correction, and only when a situation suitable for correcting a value of an internal system time is determined correcting, if there is at least one suitable GNSS time value and if there is no suitable GNSS time value, the method continues with the step of receiving GNSS signals and re-executing the following steps.
- the internal system time value applied to the GNSS time values determined at the time of receipt of the GNSS signals from which the respective GNSS time value was determined is the on-board Unit is updated and a current GNSS time value is derived by updating this value based on the progression of an on-board unit's internal system time transmitter as from the determination of the GNSS time value.
- This can be achieved, for example, by forming the difference between the internal system time and the internal system time value applied to the time of reception at any given time and adding this to the respectively determined GNSS time value.
- Other variants are possible in which the internal system time value applied at the time of receiving GNSS signals is used to derive current GNSS time values.
- an automatic correction of a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit is not carried out based on a single time value from a received GNSS signal, but rather on the basis of a series of received signals which, before being used for correction, are checked for consistency and plausibility of the series and its values.
- An advantage of recording a series of time values in a memory is that the timing of correcting the time value of the on-board unit's internal system time encoder from the time or points of receipt of GNSS signals - and hence GNSS time values - to be able to disconnect. In other words, by correcting independently of the time of reception of time signals, one can unbundle the correcting and the receiving.
- detected GNSS time values are checked to see if they are suitable for correction, and if a situation suitable for correcting a value of an internal system time is determined only then correcting if at least one suitable GNSS time value is present. This makes it particularly advantageous that no inappropriate GNSS time values are used for a correction.
- the suitability of the determined GNSS time values is checked continuously during the operation of the on-board unit. This makes it possible to check the suitability of determined GNSS time values independently of the presence of a suitable situation. Continuous in this context means that a review is consistently possible. However, this does not mean that a value is repeatedly subjected to the same review in the same way. However, it is possible for one value to undergo different checks at a time or at different times.
- a check of the suitability of the determined GNSS time values is checked immediately before a correction, if the on-board unit has determined or determined a suitable situation for correcting the value of the internal system time .
- the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility, and only plausible GNSS time values are suitable values. Such a check particularly advantageously increases the security of the method against errors, failures and manipulations.
- the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility by the time intervals between GNSS time values determined from different reception events and the time intervals of the values of the internal system time present at the reception times compared to the on-board unit.
- the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility and determined GNSS time values are marked as not plausible and / or removed from the row and / or deleted from the memory if their Review has resulted in insufficient plausibility. This is particularly advantageous allows the findings from a plausibility check directly for the further handling of GNSS time values.
- the determined GNSS time values are checked for continuity.
- a common consideration and review of several GNSS time values is particularly advantageously included in the present method. This in turn makes it possible to identify jumps over time.
- the determined GNSS-time values are checked for continuity by evaluating a series of GNSS-time values in total only as continuous, if the values ascend after the reception time determined by means of internal system time generators sorted monotonously rising.
- a series of values that has jumps back and forth in time, and thus probably untrustworthy is assessed as non-continuous.
- a suspicious behavior such as a GNSS signal received later, having an earlier GNSS time value than an earlier received GNSS signal, may be detected.
- GNSS time values are classified as suitable whose continuity has satisfied a check.
- the security particularly increases the tamper resistance and the error resistance of the present method even further, by possibly including erroneous or manipulated data taken for a single receiving event have withstood the reviews, but nevertheless notice the common continuity check and are subsequently considered ineligible.
- a rate of change of a time value of the GNSS time is determined on the basis of at least two GNSS signals received at different times, and only those GNSS time values are classified as suitable whose rate of change of the time Value within a certain tolerance range coincides with the rate of change of the value of the internal system time of the on-board unit.
- the internal system time value of the on-board unit which is present at the time of receipt is additionally stored for GNSS time values received.
- the availability of the reception times in the internal system time makes possible particularly advantageous subsequent calculations, such as, for example, determination of rates of change, determination of time differences, sorting of GNSS signal reception events and / or the GNSS time values determined therefrom.
- a current GNSS time value is derived from a determined GNSS time value in that, starting from the determination of the GNSS time value, this value is determined on the basis of the progress of an internal system time encoder of the on-board -Unit is updated. This makes it possible in a particularly advantageous manner to hold current GNSS time values derived therefrom at arbitrary points in time after the determination of GNSS time values.

If there is no suitable situation, the procedure continues with the repetition of the steps from the reception of GNSS signals. The process steps from the reception of GNSS signals are repeated. If the on-board unit determines 140 a situation suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time, the current value of the internal system time of the on-board unit is corrected 170 by referring to a current GNSS Time value is set.
- a check as to whether a value is suitable can take place both directly after determining a GNSS time value and also detached from reception times. The check can then take place in each case for the GNSS time values just determined, for a plurality of, for a series of GNSS time values or for all memory in memory.

- FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary implementation of a method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values obtained from GNSS signals in which GNSS signals are received at multiple times, current GNSS time values are derived from the GNSS time values obtained from the received GNSS signals are considered, a possible requirement for immediate correction, GNSS time values are checked for plausibility and continuity, and rates of change of GNSS time values are determined and compared.
- the FIG. 4 shows in detail an exemplary method with several optional technical features and / or method steps. Further embodiments in which one or more of the optional features and / or method steps are absent represent further variants of the present method.
- the starting point for this exemplary method is that an on-board unit does not have a suitable GNSS time value 105.
- the on-board unit receives GNSS signals 110 'a first time for this procedure. From the GNSS signals received in this first receive event, first GNSS time values are determined and stored. Thereafter, it is checked whether there is a request for an immediate correction of the current time value of the internal system time 139. For example, a method with a request for an immediate correction can be made such that the request is always present when there is no request for a fixed duration Correction is done. For example, a fixed period without a correction from the elapse of which an immediate correction request may be 12 hours, one day, two days, one week, or ten days.
- the progression of the time by which the exceeding of such a duration is determined is determined by the progression of an on-board unit's internal system time.
- a step of checking whether there is a request for immediate correction of the current time of internal system time 139 is optional. Embodiments without this step and / or its repetitions 139 in the further method are also possible. If a request for immediate correction is present, the current value of the internal system time of the on-board unit is corrected 170 'by setting it to a current GNSS time value.
- a current GNSS time value may be a time value obtained directly from a GNSS signal received in the previous step.
- the process continues by deriving current GNSS time values from the first GNSS time values determined 133 'by referring to the progress of an internal system time encoder of the on-going GNSS time value. Board unit to be updated.
- a step of deriving current GNSS time value from the first detected GNSS time values 133 ' is optional. Embodiments without this step and / or their repetitions, for example 133 ", are also possible in the further method
- the on-board unit receives GNSS signals 110" a second time for this method sequence. Second GNSS time values are determined and stored from the GNSS signals received in the second receive event 110.
- GNSS time change rates may be compared to the internal system time change rate, for example, by comparing the differences of second and first GNSS time values with the difference between the time values corresponding to the second and first GNSS time values Receive event on an internal system time generator have been compared, it can then again for example, to check whether the GNSS time change rates within specified tolerances match the internal system time change rate.
- a step to check if a first rate of change of GNSS time values is within specified tolerances with the rate of change of the value of the internal system time of the on-board unit matches 157 ', is optional. Embodiments without this step and / or their repetitions, eg 157 ", are also possible in the further method. If a check of the change rates leads to the result that no GNSS time change rate, taking account of specified tolerances, coincides with the rate of change of the internal system time , the procedure is continued with the step of assuming that the on-board unit is not an appropriate GNSS time value 105, and the subsequent steps are repeated.
- the method continues to recheck if there is a request for immediate correction of the current time of internal system time immediate correction, the aktu
- the value of the on-board unit's internal system time is corrected 170 'by setting it to a current GNSS time value. If there is no immediate correction request, the process continues to derive current GNSS time values from the second GNSS time values determined 133 "by deriving these values from the progress of an internal system time encoder of the on-going GNSS time value.
- the on-board unit receives GNSS signals 110 '''a third time for this process flow, and the GNSS signals received in the third receive event 110''' become third GNSS time values Analogous to the three reception events described for this exemplary method, the following reception events are also used in possible further reception events:
- the determined GNSS time values are checked for plausibility 150.
- a step for checking the GNSS time values determined for plausibility 150 are optional, and embodiments without this step are also possible
- a second rate of change is checked the GNSS time values within specified tolerances agree with the rate of change of the internal system time value of the on-board unit 157 ".
- current GNSS time values derived from the second detected GNSS time values are compared with the Alternatively, comparisons may be made to verify the rates of change, such as by comparing differences in time values as previously described in the description of this embodiment If a revision of the rates of change 157 "leads to the result that no GNSS time rate of change, taking account of specified tolerances, coincides with the rate of change of the internal system time, the procedure is followed by the step of assuming that the on-board unit no suitable GNSS time value exists 105, continued and the subsequent steps are repeated.
- the method continues with the GNSS time values determined in a next step For example, it may be checked whether the first rate of change of the GNSS time values agrees with the second rate of change of the GNSS time values, taking into account specified tolerances, for example GNSS time values are considered to be continuous when the rates of change match.
- GNSS time values are considered to be continuous when the rates of change match.
- Another exemplary way to check the continuity of GNSS time values or rate of change of GNSS time values is by determining changes in rate of change per elapsed internal one System time possible ch: In this case, for example, if there are several successively determined rates of change, the rates of change after the reception time of the most recently received GNSS receive events in internal system time time sorting and only if this ordered set of rates of change within specified tolerances has a certain monotonicity classify the GNSS time values involved as continuous.
- the current value of the on-board unit's internal system time is corrected 170 'by setting it to a current GNSS time value. If no request for immediate correction is present, the method is continued with the steps from the updating 133 '''of the GNSS time values derived from the third GNSS time values determined, and the subsequent method steps are repeated.
- GNSS time values are checked to see if they are suitable for correction and, if a situation is determined which is suitable for correcting a value of an internal system time, correction is performed only if at least there is a suitable GNSS time value.
- the suitability 135 of the determined GNSS time values is checked continuously during the operation of the on-board unit.
- the suitability of the determined GNSS time values 145 immediately before correction is checked if the on-board unit has determined or ascertained a situation suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time.
- the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility 150 and only plausible GNSS time values are suitable values.
- An embodiment of such a method is exemplified in FIG. 4 illustrated.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum automatischen Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten (GNSS steht für den englischen Begriff "Global Navigation Satellite System", der mit "Globales Navigationssatellitensystem" übersetzt werden kann).The invention relates to a method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values determined from GNSS signals (GNSS stands for the English term "Global Navigation Satellite System", which can be translated as "Global Navigation Satellite System").
Mit On-Board-Units für Kraftfahrzeuge werden unter anderem die Aktivitäten von Fahrern und Fahrzeugen im gewerblichen Güter- oder Personenverkehr, wie etwa Lenk- und Ruhezeiten von beispielsweise Lastkraftwagen oder auch das Befahren von mit einer Mautpflicht belegten Straßennetzabschnitten, aufgezeichnet.On-board units for motor vehicles record, among other things, the activities of drivers and vehicles in commercial goods or passenger traffic, such as driving and rest periods of, for example, trucks or driving on toll road sections.
Das Vorliegen einer verlässlichen Zeitmessung ist für die Aufzeichnung der Aktivitäten von Kraftfahrzeugen mittels On-Board-Units von zentraler Wichtigkeit.The existence of reliable timekeeping is of central importance for the recording of the activities of motor vehicles by means of on-board units.
Abweichungen und/oder Sprünge eines Zeitgebers einer On-Board-Unit während einer Aufzeichnung von Aktivitäten können zu Inkonsistenzen von Aufzeichnungsdaten oder auch zu unbrauchbaren Aufzeichnungsdaten führen.Deviations and / or jumps of a timer of an on-board unit during a recording of activities can lead to inconsistencies of recording data or also to unusable recording data.
Wenn ein Zeitgeber einer On-Board-Unit absichtlich oder unabsichtlich von einem Mitarbeiter einer autorisierten Werkstatt, von einer Person mit Manipulationsabsicht oder durch andere Einflüsse auf einen falschen Wert gesetzt wird, werden gegenwärtige On-Board-Units ausgehend davon mit falschen Zeitwerten arbeiten und aufzeichnen, ohne eine Fehlermeldung zu erhalten oder abzugeben, sodass zunächst möglicherweise nicht auffällt, dass diese Werte falsch sind.If an on-board unit timer is intentionally or unintentionally set to an incorrect value by an authorized repairer, manipulator, or other means, current on-board units will then operate and record at incorrect time values without receiving or displaying an error message, so you may not initially notice that these values are incorrect.
Aus Gründen der Manipulationssicherheit dürfen heutige On-Board-Units für Kraftfahrzeuge nur durch besonders autorisiertes Personal bestimmter autorisierter Wartungsstätten eingestellt werden. Würde ein Fahrer eines Kraftfahrzeuges bemerken, dass der Zeitgeber einer On-Board-Unit des Fahrzeuges falsche Werte annimmt, so könnte er die Werte dennoch nicht oder nur in zu geringem Maße korrigieren.For reasons of tamper resistance, today's on-board units for motor vehicles may only be adjusted by specially authorized personnel of certain authorized maintenance facilities. If a driver of a motor vehicle noticed that the timer of an on-board unit of the vehicle assumes the wrong values, he could still not correct the values or only too little.
In einigen Fällen nutzen auch weitere elektronische Systeme eines Kraftfahrzeuges die vom Zeitgeber einer On-Board-Unit ausgegeben Zeitwerte, sodass Sie auch in gleichem Maße von dessen möglicherweise falschen Werten beeinflusst würden.In some cases, other electronic systems of a motor vehicle also use the time values output by the timer of an on-board unit, so that they would also be influenced to the same extent by their possibly incorrect values.
Eine Aufgabe des vorliegenden Verfahrens ist daher, ein verbessertes Verfahren zum automatischen Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug bereitzustellen.An object of the present method is therefore to provide an improved method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren zum automatischen Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Außerdem wird eine On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug nach Anspruch 14 vorgeschlagen. Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgedankens sind Gegenstand von abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is achieved by a method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values determined from GNSS signals according to claim 1. In addition, an on-board unit for a motor vehicle according to claim 14 is proposed. Embodiments and developments of the inventive concept are the subject of dependent claims.
Es werden ein Verfahren zum automatischen Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten und eine On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug zur Durchführung eines Verfahrens zum automatischen Korrigieren eines Wertes einer internen Systemzeit der On-Board-Unit unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten offenbart.A method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values determined from GNSS signals and an on-board unit for a motor vehicle for carrying out a method for automatically correcting a value of an internal system time of the on-board unit using time values obtained from GNSS signals.
Damit wird erreicht, dass die interne Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit häufiger - etwa immer dann, wenn Bedarf besteht - auch außerhalb von autorisierten Werkstätten unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten korrigiert werden kann. Infolgedessen können Manipulationen erschwert werden und/oder Inkonsistenzen von Aufzeichnungsdaten können besser vermieden werden.This ensures that the internal system time of an on-board unit can be corrected more frequently - for example whenever needed - even outside of authorized workshops using time values determined from GNSS signals. As a result, manipulations can be made more difficult and / or inconsistencies of recorded data can be better avoided.
Durch das erfindungsgemäße automatischen Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten kann erreicht werden, dass ein aktueller Zeit-Wert einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug im Regelbetrieb maximal um wenige Minuten von der tatsächlichen Zeit abweicht.By the automatic correction according to the invention of a current time value of an internal system time using time values determined from GNSS signals, it is possible to maximize the current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle in normal operation a few minutes from the actual time.
Durch das erfindungsgemäße automatische Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit kann Wartungsaufwand für eine verfahrensgemäß arbeitenden On-Board-Unit und/oder ein damit ausgestattetes Fahrzeug reduziert werden und/oder es kann dadurch möglicherweise sogar die Notwendigkeit für eine Fahrt zur Werkstatt entfallen. Weiterhin kann durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ein zeitaufwändiges händisches Korrigieren einer internen Systemzeit entfallen.The inventive automatic correction of a current time value of an internal system time can reduce maintenance costs for an on-board unit operating in accordance with the method and / or a vehicle equipped therewith and / or possibly even eliminates the need for a trip to the workshop. Furthermore, a time-consuming manual correction of an internal system time can be dispensed with by the method according to the invention.
Das erfindungsgemäße automatische Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit ermöglicht mit geringem Aufwand ein häufiges Korrigieren. Ein häufigeres Korrigieren kann wiederum zu einer besseren Übereinstimmung eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit mit der tatsächlichen Zeit führen.The automatic correction according to the invention of a current time value of an internal system time makes it possible with little effort to frequently correct. In turn, more frequent corrections may result in a better match of a current time value of an internal system time with the actual time.
Andererseits kann die Steigerung der Häufigkeit eines Korrigierens, wie sie durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglicht werden kann, die Reduzierung der Anforderungen, beispielsweise mit Blick auf die Ganggenauigkeit, an einen internen System-Zeit-Geber einer On-Board-Unit erlauben.On the other hand, the increase in the frequency of correction, as can be made possible by the method according to the invention, the reduction of the requirements, for example, with respect to the accuracy of accuracy, allow an internal system time transmitter of an on-board unit.
Außerdem kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren dadurch, dass es unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten ein automatisches Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit ermöglicht, Manipulationen am einem internen Zeitgeber der On-Board-Unit erschweren und/oder die Auswirkungen von Manipulationen minimieren.In addition, by using time values obtained from GNSS signals, the method of the present invention allows automatic correction of a current time value of internal system time, complicating manipulation of an on-board unit's internal timer and / or the effects minimize manipulation.
Das Verfahren zum automatischen Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es mindestens folgende Schritte aufweist, nämlich: Der Vorgang wird gestartet, die On-Board-Unit empfängt GNSS-Signale, aus den GNSS-Signalen werden die übertragenen GNSS-Zeit-Werte ermittelt, die ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte werden gespeichert, die Schritte ab dem Empfang von GNSS-Signalen werden wiederholt, bis die On-Board-Unit eine Situation ermittelt, die zum Korrigieren des Wertes der internen Systemzeit geeignet ist, wenn die On-Board-Unit eine Situation ermittelt, die zum Korrigieren des Wertes der internen System-Zeit geeignet ist, wird der aktuelle Wert der internen System-Zeit der On-Board-Unit korrigiert, indem er auf einen aktuellen GNSS-Zeit-Wert gesetzt wird.The method for automatically correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values determined from GNSS signals is characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps, namely: the process becomes started, the on-board unit receives GNSS signals, from the GNSS signals, the transmitted GNSS time values are determined, the determined GNSS time values are stored, the steps from the reception of GNSS signals are repeated, until the on-board unit determines a situation suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time when the on-board unit determines a situation suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time, the current value the internal system time of the on-board unit is corrected by setting it to a current GNSS time value.
Die On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug zur Durchführung eines Verfahrens zum automatischen Korrigieren eines Wertes einer internen Systemzeit der On-Board-Unit unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten weist zumindest folgende Bestandteile auf, nämlich: Eine Empfangseinrichtung zum Empfang von GNSS-Signalen, eine Verarbeitungseinrichtung zur Ermittlung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen, einen Datenspeicher, in dem ermittelte GNSS-Zeit-Werte gespeichert werden, einen internen Systemzeit-Geber und eine Detektionseinrichtung zur Ermittlung einer geeigneten Situation zum Korrigieren der internen System-Zeit der On-Board-Unit.The on-board unit for a motor vehicle for performing a method for automatically correcting a value of an internal system time of the on-board unit using time values obtained from GNSS signals has at least the following components, namely: a receiving device for receiving of GNSS signals, a processing means for determining GNSS time values from received GNSS signals, a data memory in which detected GNSS time values are stored, an internal system time generator and a detection means for determining a suitable situation for correction the internal system time of the on-board unit.
Besondere Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Particular embodiments are subject of the dependent claims.
Zur Ausführung des vorliegenden Verfahrens kommen alle Arten von On-Board-Units für Kraftfahrzeuge wie etwa ein Tachograph, ein Mautgerät oder ein Taxameter in Frage. Dabei sind Tachographen hervorzuheben, weil das vorliegende Verfahren in besonderem Maße zu einer Ausführung mit einem Tachographen gedacht ist.All types of on-board units for motor vehicles, such as a tachograph, a toll meter or a taximeter, may be used to carry out the present method. Tachographs are to be emphasized because the present method is particularly intended for a version with a tachograph.
Eine On-Board-Unit kann so ausgeführt sein, dass alle Bestandteile innerhalb eines gemeinsamen Gehäuses untergebracht sind. Weiterhin kann eine On-Board-Unit so ausgeführt sein, dass nicht alle Bestandteile in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse untergebracht, jedoch miteinander verbunden sind. So kann beispielsweise die Empfangseinrichtung zum Empfang von GNSS-Signalen separat zum Rest der On-Board-Unit, d.h. außerhalb eines Gehäuses, in dem sich beispielsweise die übrigen Bestandteile der On-Board-Unit befinden, angeordnet sein. Hierbei kann die Verbindung zwischen der Empfangseinrichtung und den übrigen Bestandteilen beispielsweise mit Kabeln oder Leitungen hergestellt sein und möglicherweise Stecker und Buchsen oder andere Anschlussmöglichkeiten aufweisen. Es ist weiterhin möglich, dass die Verarbeitungseinrichtung zur Ermittlung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen zusammen mit der Empfangseinrichtung separat zu den übrigen Bestandteilen der On-Board-Unit angeordnet ist. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Bestandteile der On-Board-Unit auf mehr als zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt angeordnet sind, beispielsweise indem die Verarbeitungseinrichtung zur Ermittlung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen und die Empfangseinrichtung zum Empfang von GNSS-Signalen voneinander räumlich getrennt angeordnet sind und zudem jeweils räumlich separat zum Rest der On-Board-Unit, d.h. außerhalb eines Gehäuses, in dem sich beispielsweise die übrigen Bestandteile der On-Board-Unit befinden, angeordnet sind. Auch hierbei sind die verschiedenen Bestandteile der On-Board-Unit miteinander verbunden.An on-board unit can be designed so that all components are housed within a common housing. Furthermore, an on-board unit can be designed so that not all components are accommodated in a common housing, but connected to each other. For example, the receiving means for receiving GNSS signals separately from the rest of the on-board unit, i. outside a housing in which, for example, the remaining components of the on-board unit are located, be arranged. Here, the connection between the receiving device and the other components can be made for example with cables or lines and possibly have plugs and sockets or other connection options. It is also possible that the processing device for determining GNSS time values from received GNSS signals is arranged together with the receiving device separately from the remaining components of the on-board unit. It is also possible for the components of the on-board unit to be arranged in more than two groups, for example by the processing device for determining GNSS time values from received GNSS signals and the receiving device for receiving GNSS signals from one another are spatially separated and also each spatially separate to the rest of the on-board unit, ie outside a housing in which, for example, the remaining components of the on-board unit are located, are arranged. Again, the various components of the on-board unit are interconnected.
Eine beispielhafte Möglichkeit, um bei einem vorliegenden Verfahren einen Speicher zu verwenden, erfolgt, indem die aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werte direkt in einem Speicher abgelegt werden. Eine zweite Möglichkeit besteht darin, zwei Speicher zu verwenden, wobei in einem ersten Speicher aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen ermittelte Zeit-Werte und in einem zweiten Speicher korrespondierende Werte der internen Systemzeit jeweils zum Zeitpunkt des Empfangs der jeweiligen GNSS-Signale abgelegt werden. Damit wird ermöglicht, jeweils im ersten und im zweiten Speicher Reihen von anliegenden Zeit-Werten vorzuhalten, welche dann zu Vergleichszwecken herangezogen werden können.An exemplary way to use a memory in a present method is by taking the time values obtained from received GNSS signals directly in a memory Memory are stored. A second possibility is to use two memories, wherein time values determined in a first memory from received GNSS signals and values of the internal system time corresponding to a second memory are respectively stored at the time of receipt of the respective GNSS signals. This makes it possible to provide rows of adjacent time values in the first and in the second memory, which can then be used for comparison purposes.
Wenn beispielsweise in einem Speicher sowohl GNSS-Zeit-Werte als auch interne Zeit-Werte abgelegt werden, so können beispielsweise die GNSS-Zeit-Werte zusammen mit den korrespondierenden jeweils zum Zeitpunkt des Empfangs anliegenden internen Zeit-Werten der On-Board-Unit zusammen abgelegt. Somit kann man beispielsweise jeweils Paare von GNSS-Zeit und interner Zeit erhalten. Eine beispielhafte Möglichkeit für eine einfache Plausibilitätsüberprüfung ist beispielsweise ein Vergleich der Zeitdifferenzen innerhalb zweier Paare: Stimmt die Zeitdifferenz der zwei GNSS-Zeit-Werte mit der Zeitdifferenz der zwei Zeit-Werte des internen Systemzeit-Gebers nicht überein, so ist dieser Plausibilitätstest nicht bestanden.If, for example, both GNSS time values and internal time values are stored in a memory, the GNSS time values, for example, can be combined with the corresponding internal time values of the on-board unit that are present at the time of reception stored. Thus, for example, each pair of GNSS time and internal time can be obtained. An example possibility for a simple plausibility check is, for example, a comparison of the time differences within two pairs: If the time difference of the two GNSS time values does not coincide with the time difference of the two time values of the internal system time encoder, this plausibility test is not passed.
Bei GNSS-Zeit-Werten, welche auf Plausibilität überprüft und für nicht plausibel befunden werden, kann es sich beispielsweise um Messfehler oder manipulierte Werte handeln.GNSS time values, which are plausibility-checked and found to be implausible, can be, for example, measurement errors or manipulated values.
Die On-Board-Unit kann beispielsweise in einem internen Speicher protokollieren, wenn ein Korrigieren des Wertes der internen System-Zeit erfolgt.For example, the on-board unit may log to an internal memory when correcting the value of the internal system time.
Die Beurteilung davon, ob eine Situation zum Korrigieren eines Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug eine geeignete ist, berücksichtigt auch die aktuelle Situation des Fahrzeugs und die aktuelle Situation in Bezug auf eine Erfassung von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten.The evaluation of whether a situation for correcting a value of an internal system time of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle is appropriate also takes into account the current situation of the vehicle and the current situation with respect to detection of driving and rest periods.
Gemäß dem vorliegenden Verfahren gibt es während eine Aufzeichnung etwa von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten stattfindet keine Situationen, die zum Korrigieren des Wertes der internen System-Zeit einer On-Board-Unit geeignet sind. Eine Veränderung der Systemzeit könnte sprunghaft erfolgen und somit Sprünge und/oder Inkonsistenzen in den Aufzeichnungsdaten verursachen.According to the present method, while recording about steering and rest times, there are no situations suitable for correcting the value of the internal system time of an on-board unit. A change in the system time could occur abruptly and thus cause jumps and / or inconsistencies in the recording data.
Für ein Verfahren zum automatischen Korrigieren eines Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit für ein Kraftfahrzeug unter Verwendung von aus GNSS-Signalen ermittelten Zeit-Werten kann eine Unterscheidung zwischen geeigneten GNSS-Zeit-Werten und ungeeigneten GNSS-Zeit-Werten gemacht werden. Sofern kein geeigneter GNSS-Zeit-Wert vorliegt, kann es wünschenswert sein, kein Korrigieren des Werts der System-Zeit vorzunehmen, auch wenn beispielsweise ungeeignete GNSS-Zeit-Werte vorliegen. Ein GNSS-Zeit-Wert kann beispielsweise als ungeeignet eingestuft werden, wenn eine Überprüfung beispielsweise ergeben hat, dass der Wert nicht plausibel ist. Dabei können eine oder auch mehrere Überprüfungen ausgeführt werden, um die Plausibilität von einem Wert zu ermitteln. Außerdem kann ein GNSS-Zeit-Wert als ungeeignet eingestuft werden, wenn eine Überprüfung auf Kontinuität der Werte Sprünge im Zeitverlauf oder Abweichungen oder mangelnde Monotonie oder anderweitige Abweichungen von einer kontinuierlichen Entwicklung ergeben hat. Weiterhin kann ein GNSS-Zeit-Wert als nicht geeignet eingestuft werden, wenn ein Wert nicht aktuell ist. Ein solcher Fall kann beispielsweise eintreten, wenn das Fortschreiben eines Wertes nicht erfolgreich verlaufen ist. Es kann aber möglicherweise auch eine zeitliche Obergrenze definiert sein, bis zu der eine Fortschreibung zulässig ist. In einem solchen Fall würden Werte nicht über eine bestimmte Dauer fortgeschrieben, sodass sie dann in bestimmten Ausführungsvarianten nicht mehr aktuell wären. Somit könnte beispielsweise sichergestellt werden, dass nur solche Werte als geeignet eingestuft werden, welche aus innerhalb des anhand der zeitlichen Obergrenze bestimmten Zeitrahmens empfangenen Signalen durch Fortschreiben erhalten wurden.For a method of automatically correcting an internal system time value of an on-board unit for a motor vehicle using time values obtained from GNSS signals, a distinction can be made between appropriate GNSS time values and inappropriate GNSS time values , Unless there is a suitable GNSS time value, it may be desirable not to correct the value of the system time even if there are inappropriate GNSS time values, for example. For example, a GNSS time value may be considered inappropriate if a check has revealed that the value is not plausible. One or several checks can be carried out to determine the plausibility of a value. In addition, a GNSS time value may be considered inappropriate if a continuity check of values has revealed leaps over time or deviations or lack of monotony or other deviations from continuous development. Furthermore, a GNSS time value may be considered inappropriate if a value is not current. Such a case can occur, for example, if the updating of a value has not been successful. However, it may also be possible to define a time limit up to which an update is permitted. In such a case, values would not be updated over a certain period of time, so that they would no longer be up-to-date in certain implementation variants. Thus, for example, it could be ensured that only those values which were obtained by updating from signals received within the time frame determined on the basis of the upper time limit are classified as suitable.
Unter einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit ist die von einem internen Zeitgeber der On-Board-Unit gegebene Zeit zu verstehen, in der die On-Board-Unit die Zeit misst, d.h. das Verstreichen der Zeit bestimmt.An internal system time of an on-board unit means the time given by an internal timer of the on-board unit in which the on-board unit measures the time, i. determines the passage of time.
Ein aktueller Zeit-Wert einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit ist der zu jedem gegebenen Zeitpunkt an einem internen Zeitgeber anliegende Zeit-Wert. Das ist also jener Wert, den eine On-Board-Unit als die Gegenwart, genauer als den gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt, annimmt. Ein interner Zeitgeber gibt die interne Systemzeit an. Beispielsweise kann eine Echtzeituhr ein interner Zeitgeber sein.A current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit is the time value applied to an internal timer at any given time. So this is the value that an on-board unit assumes as the present, more precisely than the present time. An internal timer specifies the internal system time. For example, a real-time clock may be an internal timer.
Ein aktueller GNSS-Zeit-Wert kann ein direkt aus einem empfangenen GNSS-Signal ermittelter Zeit-Wert oder ein Zeit-Wert sein, der von einem ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Wert abgeleitet ist. Ein von einem GNSS-Zeit-Wert abgeleiteter Zeit-Wert kann erhalten werden, indem ab der Ermittlung eines GNSS-Zeit-Wertes dieser Wert anhand des Fortschreitens eines internen Systemzeit-Gebers der On-Board-Unit fortgeschrieben wird. Dabei kann das Fortschreiben eines GNSS-Zeit-Wertes in analoger Weise zu dem Fortschreiben eines internen Systemzeit-Wertes erfolgen. Das heißt, die Änderungsrate der verschiedenen Zeit-Werte würde von einem internen Systemzeit-Geber vorgegeben; beispielsweise anhand von einer Echtzeituhr oder einem Taktgeber des internen System-Zeit-Gebers einer On-Board-Unit. Ein interner Zeitgeber kann beispielsweise eine Oszillatorschaltung aufweisen. Durch das Fortschreiben eines von einem aus einem ermittelten GNSS-Signal ermittelten, abgeleiteten GNSS-Zeit Wertes kann beispielsweise ermöglicht werden, dass zu jedem Zeitpunkt nach dem Empfang eines GNSS-Signals ein mit diesem empfangenen GNSS-Signal korrespondierender aktueller Zeitwert vorliegt. Wenn mehrere GNSS-Zeit-Werte vorliegen, sind diejenigen die aktuellen, die auf dem neuesten Stand sind. Das heißt: Liegen beispielsweise mehrere aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen ermittelte GNSS-Zeit-Werte vor, so sind in einem Ausführungsbeispiel diejenigen GNSS-Zeit-Werte die aktuellen, deren Empfangszeitpunkt am kürzesten zurückliegt. Es ist aber auch möglich, auf andere Weise zu definieren, welche GNSS-Werte auf dem neuesten Stand sind. Durch das Vorhalten von aktuellen Zeit-Werten wird ein genaueres Korrigieren von Zeit-Werten ermöglicht. Außerdem ermöglicht das Vorhalten von aktuellen Zeit-Werten ein zum Empfang der GNSS-Signale, aus denen die Zeit-Werte ermittelt werden, zeitlich deutlich versetztes Korrigieren von Zeit-Werten.A current GNSS time value may be a time value directly derived from a received GNSS signal or a time value derived from a detected GNSS time value. A time value derived from a GNSS time value can be obtained by updating this value based on the progress of an on-board unit's internal system time encoder from the determination of a GNSS time value. In this case, the updating of a GNSS time value can take place analogously to the updating of an internal system time value. That is, the rate of change of the various time values would be dictated by an internal system time encoder; For example, based on a real-time clock or a timer of the internal system time encoder of an on-board unit. An internal timer may include, for example, an oscillator circuit. By updating a derived GNSS time value determined from a determined GNSS signal, it is possible, for example, for a current time value corresponding to this received GNSS signal to be available at any time after receipt of a GNSS signal. If there are multiple GNSS time values, those are the most up-to-date. That is to say: If, for example, there are several GNSS time values determined from received GNSS signals, then in one exemplary embodiment those GNSS time values are the most recent ones, the reception time being the shortest. It is also possible to define in other ways which GNSS values are up to date. Providing current time values allows for more accurate correction of time values. In addition, the provision of current time values allows one to significantly correct the correction of time values for receiving the GNSS signals from which the time values are determined.
Gemäß dem vorliegenden Verfahren kann eine On-Board-Unit während des Regelbetriebs, beispielsweise während der Erfassung von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten, durchgehend auf den Empfang von GNSS-Signalen eingestellt sein und fortwährend die aus empfangenen GNSS-Signalen ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte speichern.According to the present method, an on-board unit may be continuously tuned to receive GNSS signals during normal operation, for example, during the detection of driving and rest periods, and may continuously store the GNSS time values obtained from received GNSS signals ,
Anhand der folgenden beispielhaften Kriterien ermittelt eine On-Board-Unit beispielsweise eine Situation, die zum Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit geeignet ist:
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die On-Board-Unit keine Erfassung von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten durchführt. Durch ein Korrigieren zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem keine Erfassung von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten erfolgt, können potentielle Sprünge und/oder unstete Stellen in den Aufzeichnungsdaten verhindert werden.
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass kein Datentransfer und/oder Datendownload von einer On-Board-Unit zu einem anderen Gerät stattfindet.
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass keine Aktualisierung der Firmware der On-Board-Unit und keine andere Software-Aktualisierung stattfinden.
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Fahrzeug, in dem sich die On-Board-Unit befindet, nicht im Betrieb befindet. Das kann beispielsweise bedeuten, dass der Zündungschalter des Fahrzeugs ausgeschaltet ist oder dass das Fahrzeug geparkt ist oder dass der Antriebsmotor des Fahrzeugs abgestellt ist.
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die On-Board-Unit gemäß ihrer typischen Spezifikationen für den Regelbetrieb mit elektrischer Energie versorgt wird, d.h. dass die Versorgungsspannungen und Versorgungsströme weder höher noch niedriger sind als der anforderungsgemäße Arbeitsbereich.
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass, wenn die On-Board-Unit ein Tachograph oder Fahrtschreiber ist, keine Tachographenkarten, insbesondere keine sogenannte Fahrerkarte, in der On-Board-Unit eingesteckt ist.
- Eine geeignete Situation ist beispielsweise dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Aufzeichnung oder eine Erfassung von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten soeben abgeschlossen wurde oder dass im Anschluss an eine Aufzeichnung oder eine Erfassung von Lenk- und Ruhezeiten soeben ein Datentransfer und/oder Datendownload von einer On-Board-Unit zu einem anderen Gerät stattgefunden hat und soeben abgeschlossen worden ist.
- A suitable situation is characterized, for example, by the fact that the on-board unit does not record steering and rest times. By correcting at a time when there is no detection of driving and rest periods, potential jumps and / or unsteady spots in the recording data can be prevented.
- A suitable situation is characterized, for example, in that no data transfer and / or data download takes place from one on-board unit to another device.
- A suitable situation is characterized, for example, in that no updating of the firmware of the on-board unit and no other software update take place.

Diese Liste erläutert beispielhaft und nicht abschließend mögliche Kriterien, die einzeln oder in allen Kombinationen herangezogen werden können, um eine Situation zu ermitteln, die zum Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit geeignet ist.This list exemplifies, rather than concludes, possible criteria that may be used individually or in all combinations to determine a situation suitable for correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit.
Eine Situation ist beispielsweise nicht zum Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit geeignet, wenn keine interne Systemzeit verfügbar ist oder die interne Systemzeit gestört ist.For example, a situation is not suitable for correcting a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit when no internal system time is available or the internal system time is disturbed.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens wird nur dann ein Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit durchgeführt, wenn eine bestimmte Anzahl von geeigneten GNSS-Werten vorliegt, wobei die Anzahl größer als eins ist. Bestimmte Formen der Überprüfung auf Eignung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten kann es erforderlich machen, mehrere GNSS-Zeit-Werte zu verwenden.In a particular embodiment of a present method, only correcting a current time value an internal system time of an on-board unit, if there are a certain number of suitable GNSS values, the number being greater than one. Certain forms of validation for GNSS time values may require the use of multiple GNSS time values.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform des vorliegenden Verfahrens ist dessen Ausführung für die gesamte Betriebszeit der On-Board-Unit ununterbrochen vorgesehen. Dabei beginnt das Verfahren immer wieder von neuem zu laufen, sobald ein Korrigieren des Wertes der internen System-Zeit der On-Board-Unit stattgefunden hat.In a particular embodiment of the present method, its execution is uninterrupted for the entire operating time of the on-board unit. The process begins to run again and again as soon as a correction of the value of the internal system time of the on-board unit has taken place.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform des vorliegenden Verfahrens stuft die On-Board-Unit jegliche Situation immer dann als nicht zum Korrigieren geeignet ein, wenn der On-Board-Unit keine geeigneten GNSS-Zeit-Werte vorliegen.In a particular embodiment of the present method, the on-board unit classifies any situation as not suitable for correction whenever the on-board unit does not have suitable GNSS time values.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform des vorliegenden Verfahrens wird das Verfahren abgebrochen, wenn der On-Board-Unit keine oder zu wenige plausible GNSS-Zeit-Werte vorliegen.In a particular embodiment of the present method, the method is aborted if the on-board unit has no or too few plausible GNSS time values.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform des vorliegenden Verfahrens werden nur dann Änderungsraten von GNSS-Zeit-Werten ermittelt, wenn dazu zumindest zwei von derselben GNSS-Quelle zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten empfangenen GNSS-Signalen vorliegen.In a particular embodiment of the present method, rates of change of GNSS time values are determined only if there are at least two GNSS signals received from the same GNSS source at different times.
Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform des vorliegenden Verfahrens wird in einem zusätzlichen Schritt, welcher direkt, nachdem eine zum Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen System-Zeit geeignete Situation ermittelt wurde, ausgeführt wird, zusätzlich überprüft, ob der aktuelle GNSS-Zeit-Wert innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Toleranz mit dem aktuellen Wert der internen System-Zeit der On-Board-Unit übereinstimmt und bei Übereinstimmung erfolgt kein Korrigieren.In a particular embodiment of the present method, in an additional step, which is executed immediately after a situation suitable for correcting a current time value of an internal system time has been performed, it is additionally checked whether the current GNSS time value is within a predetermined tolerance matches the current value of the internal system time of the on-board unit and if there is no match, no correction.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsvariante des vorliegenden Verfahrens werden nur solche aktuellen GNSS-Zeit-Werte als für ein Korrigieren geeignete Werte eingestuft, die von einem ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Wert abgeleitet und anhand des Fortschreitens eines internen Sytemzeit-Gebers der On-Board-Unit fortgeschrieben wurden.In a particular embodiment variant of the present method, only those current GNSS time values are classified as suitable for correction, which are derived from a determined GNSS time value and updated on the basis of the progress of an internal system time generator of the on-board unit were.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsvariante des vorliegenden Verfahrens werden ermittelte GNSS-Zeit-Werte darauf überprüft, ob sie für ein Korrigieren geeignet sind, und es erfolgt, wenn eine Situation ermittelt wird, die zum Korrigieren eines Wertes einer internen System-Zeit geeignet ist, nur dann ein Korrigieren, wenn zumindest ein geeigneter GNSS-Zeit-Wert vorliegt und wenn kein geeigneter GNSS-Zeit-Wert vorliegt wird das Verfahren mit dem Schritt des Empfangens von GNSS-Signalen fortgesetzt und die folgenden Schritte erneut durchlaufen.In a particular embodiment of the present method, determined GNSS time values are checked for their suitability for correction, and only when a situation suitable for correcting a value of an internal system time is determined correcting, if there is at least one suitable GNSS time value and if there is no suitable GNSS time value, the method continues with the step of receiving GNSS signals and re-executing the following steps.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsvariante des vorliegenden Verfahrens wird zu ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werten jeweils der zu dem Zeitpunkt des Empfangs der GNSS-Signale, aus denen der jeweilige GNSS-Zeit-Wert ermittelt wurde, anliegende interne System-Zeit-Wert der On-Board-Unit gespeichert und es wird ein aktueller GNSS-Zeit-Wert abgeleitet, indem ab der Ermittlung des GNSS-Zeit-Wertes dieser Wert anhand des Fortschreitens eines internen Systemzeit-Gebers der On-Board-Unit fortgeschrieben wird. Das kann beispielsweise erreicht werden, indem zu jedem gegebenen Zeitpunkt die Differenz der internen Systemzeit zu dem zum Empfangszeitpunkt anliegenden internen System-Zeit-Wert gebildet und auf den jeweils ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Wert addiert wird. Es sind auch andere Varianten möglich, bei denen der zum Zeitpunkt des Empfangs von GNSS-Signalen anliegende interne System-Zeit-Wert zur Ableitung aktueller GNSS-Zeit-Werte herangezogen wird.In a particular embodiment variant of the present method, the internal system time value applied to the GNSS time values determined at the time of receipt of the GNSS signals from which the respective GNSS time value was determined is the on-board Unit is updated and a current GNSS time value is derived by updating this value based on the progression of an on-board unit's internal system time transmitter as from the determination of the GNSS time value. This can be achieved, for example, by forming the difference between the internal system time and the internal system time value applied to the time of reception at any given time and adding this to the respectively determined GNSS time value. Other variants are possible in which the internal system time value applied at the time of receiving GNSS signals is used to derive current GNSS time values.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsvariante des vorliegenden Verfahrens erfolgt ein automatisches Korrigieren eines aktuellen Zeit-Wertes einer internen Systemzeit einer On-Board-Unit nicht auf Grundlage eines einzelnen Zeitwertes aus einem empfangenen GNSS-Signal, sondern vielmehr anhand von einer Reihe von empfangenen Signalen, welche vor der Verwendung zur Korrektur auf Konsistenz und Plausibilität überprüft der Reihe und ihrer Werte werden.According to an embodiment variant of the present method, an automatic correction of a current time value of an internal system time of an on-board unit is not carried out based on a single time value from a received GNSS signal, but rather on the basis of a series of received signals which, before being used for correction, are checked for consistency and plausibility of the series and its values.
Ein Vorteil der Aufzeichnung einer Reihe von Zeitwerten in einem Speicher liegt darin, dass der Zeitpunkt des Korrigierens des Zeitwerts des internen Sytemzeit-Gebers der On-Board-Unit vom Zeitpunkt oder den Zeitpunkten des Empfangs von GNSS-Signalen - und damit auch GNSS-Zeitwerten - trennen zu können. In anderen Worten kann man durch vom Empfangszeitpunkt von Zeitsignalen unabhängigen Korrigieren das Korrigieren und das Empfangen entflechten.An advantage of recording a series of time values in a memory is that the timing of correcting the time value of the on-board unit's internal system time encoder from the time or points of receipt of GNSS signals - and hence GNSS time values - to be able to disconnect. In other words, by correcting independently of the time of reception of time signals, one can unbundle the correcting and the receiving.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden ermittelte GNSS-Zeit-Werte darauf überprüft, ob sie für ein Korrigieren geeignet sind, und, wenn eine Situation ermittelt wird, die zum Korrigieren eines Wertes einer internen System-Zeit geeignet ist, erfolgt nur dann ein Korrigieren, wenn zumindest ein geeigneter GNSS-Zeit-Wert vorliegt. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft ermöglicht, dass keine ungeeigneten GNSS-Zeit-Werte für ein Korrigieren herangezogen werden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, detected GNSS time values are checked to see if they are suitable for correction, and if a situation suitable for correcting a value of an internal system time is determined only then correcting if at least one suitable GNSS time value is present. This makes it particularly advantageous that no inappropriate GNSS time values are used for a correction.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens erfolgt eine Überprüfung der Eignung der ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte kontinuierlich während des Betriebs der On-Board-Unit. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft ermöglicht, unabhängig vom Vorliegen einer geeigneten Situation die Eignung von ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werten zu überprüfen. Unter kontinuierlich ist in diesem Zusammenhang zu verstehen, dass eine Überprüfung beständig möglich ist. Damit ist jedoch nicht gemeint, dass ein Wert wiederholt auf die gleiche Art und Weise der gleichen Überprüfung unterzogen wird. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass ein Wert zu einem Zeitpunkt oder zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten verschiedenen Überprüfungen unterzogen wird.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, the suitability of the determined GNSS time values is checked continuously during the operation of the on-board unit. This makes it possible to check the suitability of determined GNSS time values independently of the presence of a suitable situation. Continuous in this context means that a review is consistently possible. However, this does not mean that a value is repeatedly subjected to the same review in the same way. However, it is possible for one value to undergo different checks at a time or at different times.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens erfolgt eine Überprüfung der Eignung der ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte unmittelbar vor einem Korrigieren überprüft wird, wenn die On-Board-Unit eine zum Korrigieren des Wertes der internen System-Zeit geeignete Situation ermittelt oder ermittelt hat. Der besondere Vorteil liegt hierbei darin, dass eine Überprüfung nur besonders bedarfsgerecht dann ausgeführt wird, wenn auch ein Korrigieren vorgesehen ist.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, a check of the suitability of the determined GNSS time values is checked immediately before a correction, if the on-board unit has determined or determined a suitable situation for correcting the value of the internal system time , The particular advantage here lies in the fact that a check is carried out only in a particularly demand-oriented manner, even if a correction is provided.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden die ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte zusätzlich auf Plausibilität überprüft und es sind nur plausible GNSS-Zeit-Werte geeignete Werte. Eine solche Überprüfung erhöht besonders vorteilhaft die Sicherheit des Verfahrens gegenüber Fehlern, Ausfällen und Manipulationen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility, and only plausible GNSS time values are suitable values. Such a check particularly advantageously increases the security of the method against errors, failures and manipulations.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden die ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte zusätzlich auf Plausibilität überprüft, indem die Zeitabstände zwischen aus verschiedenen Empfangs-Ereignissen ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werten mit den Zeitabstände der zu den Empfangszeitpunkten vorliegenden Werten der internen System-Zeit der On-Board-Unit verglichen werden. Hierdurch wird besonders vorteilhaft ermöglicht, eine interne System-Zeit als Referenz für eine Plausibilitätsprüfung zu verwenden und stark von dem Gang der internen System-Zeit abweichende GNSS-Signale frühzeitig und mit geringem Aufwand als nicht plausibel zu erkennen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility by the time intervals between GNSS time values determined from different reception events and the time intervals of the values of the internal system time present at the reception times compared to the on-board unit. This makes it particularly advantageous to use an internal system time as a reference for a plausibility check and strongly deviate from the course of the internal system time deviating GNSS signals early and with little effort as not plausible.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden die ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte zusätzlich auf Plausibilität überprüft und es werden ermittelte GNSS-Zeit-Werte als nicht plausibel markiert und/oder aus der Reihe entfernt und/oder aus dem Speicher gelöscht, wenn deren Überprüfung eine unzureichende Plausibilität ergeben hat. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft ermöglicht, die Erkenntnisse aus einer Plausibilitätsüberprüfung direkt für die weitere Handhabung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten heranzuziehen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, the determined GNSS time values are additionally checked for plausibility and determined GNSS time values are marked as not plausible and / or removed from the row and / or deleted from the memory if their Review has resulted in insufficient plausibility. This is particularly advantageous allows the findings from a plausibility check directly for the further handling of GNSS time values.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden die ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte auf Kontinuität überprüft. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft eine gemeinsame Betrachtung und Überprüfung von mehreren GNSS-Zeit-Werten in das vorliegende Verfahrens aufgenommen. Das wiederum ermöglicht, Sprünge im Zeitverlauf zu identifizieren.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, the determined GNSS time values are checked for continuity. As a result, a common consideration and review of several GNSS time values is particularly advantageously included in the present method. This in turn makes it possible to identify jumps over time.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden die ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werte auf Kontinuität überprüft , indem eine Reihe von GNSS-Zeit-Werten insgesamt nur dann als kontinuierlich bewertet wird, wenn die Werte nach dem mittels internen Systemzeit-Gebers ermittelten Empfangszeitpunkt aufsteigend sortiert monoton steigen. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft, dass beispielsweise eine Reihe von Werten, die in der Zeit Sprünge vor und zurück aufweist, und damit vermutlich nicht vertrauenswürdig ist, als nicht kontinuierlich bewertet wird. So kann ein verdächtiges Verhalten, etwa, dass ein später empfangenes GNSS-Signal einen früheren GNSS-Zeit-Wert aufweist als ein früher empfangenes GNSS-Signal, erkannt werden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, the determined GNSS-time values are checked for continuity by evaluating a series of GNSS-time values in total only as continuous, if the values ascend after the reception time determined by means of internal system time generators sorted monotonously rising. This makes it particularly advantageous that, for example, a series of values that has jumps back and forth in time, and thus probably untrustworthy, is assessed as non-continuous. Thus, a suspicious behavior, such as a GNSS signal received later, having an earlier GNSS time value than an earlier received GNSS signal, may be detected.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens werden nur solche GNSS-Zeit-Werte als geeignet eingestuft, deren Kontinuität einer Überprüfung genügt hat. Durch die Einbeziehung der Kontinuität in die Überprüfung der Eignung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten wird besonders vorteilhaft die Sicherheit wird die Manipulationssicherheit und die Fehlerresistenz des vorliegenden Verfahrens besonders vorteilhaft noch weiter erhöht, indem auch fehlerhafte oder manipulierte Daten, die für ein einzelnes Empfangsereignis genommen möglicherweise den Überprüfungen Stand gehalten hätten, über die gemeinsame Kontinuitätsüberprüfung dennoch auffallen und in der Folge als nicht geeignet eingestuft werden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, only those GNSS time values are classified as suitable whose continuity has satisfied a check. By including continuity in the verification of the suitability of GNSS time values, the security particularly increases the tamper resistance and the error resistance of the present method even further, by possibly including erroneous or manipulated data taken for a single receiving event have withstood the reviews, but nevertheless notice the common continuity check and are subsequently considered ineligible.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens wird anhand von zumindest zwei zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten empfangenen GNSS-Signalen eine Änderungsrate eines Zeit-Wertes der GNSS-Zeit ermittelt und es werden nur solche GNSS-Zeit-Werte als geeignet eingestuft, deren Änderungsrate des Zeit-Wertes innerhalb eines bestimmten Toleranzbereiches mit der Änderungsrate des Wertes der internen System-Zeit der On-Board-Unit übereinstimmt. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft ermöglicht, möglicherweise fehlerhafte oder manipulierte GNSS-Zeit-Werte, welche durch ihre abweichende Änderungsrate der Zeit-Werte auffallen, als nicht geeignet einzustufen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, a rate of change of a time value of the GNSS time is determined on the basis of at least two GNSS signals received at different times, and only those GNSS time values are classified as suitable whose rate of change of the time Value within a certain tolerance range coincides with the rate of change of the value of the internal system time of the on-board unit. This advantageously makes it possible to classify possibly faulty or manipulated GNSS time values, which stand out due to their deviating rate of change of the time values, as unsuitable.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens wird zu empfangenen GNSS-Zeit-Werten jeweils der zu dem Zeitpunkt des Empfangs anliegende interne System-Zeit-Wert der On-Board-Unit zusätzlich gespeichert. Durch die Verfügbarkeit der Empfangszeitpunkte in der internen Systemzeit werden besonders vorteilhaft nachfolgende Berechnungen ermöglicht wie beispielsweise Ermittlung von Änderungsraten, Ermittlung von Zeitdifferenzen, Sortierung von GNSS-Signal-Empfangsereignissen und/oder den daraus ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Werten.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, in each case the internal system time value of the on-board unit which is present at the time of receipt is additionally stored for GNSS time values received. The availability of the reception times in the internal system time makes possible particularly advantageous subsequent calculations, such as, for example, determination of rates of change, determination of time differences, sorting of GNSS signal reception events and / or the GNSS time values determined therefrom.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eines vorliegenden Verfahrens wird von einem ermittelten GNSS-Zeit-Wert ein aktueller GNSS-Zeit-Wert abgeleitet, indem ab der Ermittlung des GNSS-Zeit-Wertes dieser Wert anhand des Fortschreitens eines internen Systemzeit-Gebers der On-Board-Unit fortgeschrieben wird. Dadurch wird besonders vorteilhaft ermöglicht, zu beliebigen Zeitpunkten nach der Ermittlung von GNSS-Zeit-Werten daraus abgeleitete aktuelle GNSS-Zeit-Werte vorzuhalten.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a present method, a current GNSS time value is derived from a determined GNSS time value in that, starting from the determination of the GNSS time value, this value is determined on the basis of the progress of an internal system time encoder of the on-board -Unit is updated. This makes it possible in a particularly advantageous manner to hold current GNSS time values derived therefrom at arbitrary points in time after the determination of GNSS time values.
