Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein modulares System zur Überbrückung von bebauten Flächen, insbesondere von Straßen, umfassend wenigstens zwei im Wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung orientierte Pfeiler, wenigstens eine sich zwischen den Pfeilern erstreckende Traverse, und wenigstens eine Verbindungseinheit, welche einem der Pfeiler oder der wenigstens einen Traverse zugeordnet und dazu eingerichtet ist, eine Schnittstelle zum Anbauen von funktionellen Komponenten zu bilden.The present invention relates to a modular system for bridging built-up areas, in particular streets, comprising at least two pillars oriented essentially in the vertical direction, at least one cross member extending between the pillars, and at least one connecting unit which one of the pillars or the at least one Traverse is assigned and set up to form an interface for attaching functional components.
Es ist bekannt, bebaute Flächen und insbesondere Straßen mit Hilfe von feststehenden und festinstallierten Brücken zu überspannen, an denen beispielsweise Schilder und/oder elektronisch gesteuerte Verkehrszeichen/- anzeigen angebracht sein können. Diesen in der Regel fest installierten Überbrückungen mangelt es jedoch an Flexibilität hinsichtlich ihrer Einsatzzwecke und ihrer geometrischen Gestaltung, da sie nach ihrem Aufbau nur noch schwerlich an sich ändernde Anforderungen anpassbar sind. Andererseits stellen bebaute Flächen und insbesondere Autobahnen Infrastruktureinrichtungen dar, die lediglich zu einem einzigen Zweck, nämlich dem Führen von Verkehr, eingesetzt werden und dabei einen enormen Eingriff in das Ökosystem darstellen, wobei sich die Frage stellt, ob und wie eine verbesserte Nutzung dieser überbauten Flächen zu bewerkstelligen sein könnte.It is known to span built-up areas and in particular streets with the help of fixed and permanently installed bridges, to which, for example, signs and / or electronically controlled traffic signs / displays can be attached. However, these bridges, which are usually permanently installed, lack flexibility in terms of their intended use and their geometric design, since their structure makes it difficult to adapt to changing requirements. On the other hand, built-up areas, and in particular motorways, represent infrastructure facilities that are used only for a single purpose, namely to guide traffic, and thereby represent an enormous encroachment on the ecosystem, with the question of whether and how an improved use of these built-up areas could be accomplished.
Es ist ein Verdienst der Erfinder der vorliegenden Erfindung, erkannt zu haben, dass bebaute Flächen hinsichtlich ihrer Nutzung ein großes unausgeschöpftes Potential darstellen, da sie lediglich zweidimensional genutzt werden und somit die Möglichkeit besteht, mittels geeigneter Systeme eine wesentlich verbesserte Nutzung der ohnehin bebauten Flächen zu erzielen, indem Mittel geschaffen werden, durch die auch die dritte Dimension oberhalb der bebauten Fläche einer Verwendung zugeführt wird.It is to the credit of the inventors of the present invention to have recognized that built-up areas represent a great untapped potential with regard to their use, since they are only used two-dimensionally and therefore there is the possibility of using a significant system by means of suitable systems To achieve improved use of the already built-up areas by creating means by which the third dimension above the built-up area is also used.
Hierzu ist erfindungsgemäß ein gattungsgemäßes modulares System bereitgestellt, in dem die wenigstens eine Traverse modular aufgebaut ist, so dass die Dimensionen der wenigstens einen Traverse durch Wahl der Anzahl und Abmessungen der verwendeten Traversenmodule anpassbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann oberhalb der bebauten Fläche wenigstens eine zusätzliche Ebene geschaffen werden, die völlig frei in ihrer Dimensionierung ist, und die durch das Vorsehen der Schnittstellen zum Anbauen von funktionellen Komponenten für verschiedenste Zwecke genutzt werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird das Potential zur Flächennutzung von durch erfindungsgemäße Systeme überbauten Flächen wesentlich besser ausgeschöpft, da neben der ohnehin bebauten Dimension in der Ebene noch die dritte Dimension hinzukommt, in der dementsprechend verschiedenste funktionelle Komponenten angeordnet und betrieben werden können.For this purpose, according to the invention, a generic modular system is provided, in which the at least one crossmember is of modular construction, so that the dimensions of the at least one crossmember can be adapted by selecting the number and dimensions of the crosshead modules used. In this way, at least one additional level can be created above the built-up area, which is completely free in its dimensions, and which can be used for the attachment of functional components for various purposes by providing the interfaces. In this way, the potential for utilizing the area of areas built over by systems according to the invention is exploited much better, since in addition to the already built-up dimension on the level there is also the third dimension, in which a wide variety of functional components can accordingly be arranged and operated.
Insbesondere ist die Anzahl der Traversen, die sich zwischen einem Satz von Pfeilern erstrecken, nicht begrenzt, sondern es können sich vielmehr eine Mehrzahl von Traversen vertikal übereinander zwischen den Pfeilern erstreckend angeordnet sein, wobei jeweils ein Zwischenraum zwischen den Traversen vorgesehen sein kann oder sich diese auch berühren oder überlappen können, je nach Ausprägung der verwendeten Traversenmodule. In ähnlicher Weise könnten bei entsprechenden Abmessungen der Pfeiler auch mehrere Traversen sich nebeneinander in einer Ebene zwischen den Pfeilern erstreckend angeordnet sein.In particular, the number of crossbeams that extend between a set of pillars is not limited, but rather a plurality of crossbeams can be arranged vertically one above the other, extending between the piers, wherein an intermediate space can be provided between the crossbeams or they can be can also touch or overlap, depending on the design of the truss modules used. Similarly, with corresponding dimensions of the pillars, a plurality of cross members could also be arranged next to one another in a plane extending between the pillars.
Im Fall von übereinander angeordneten Traversen kann insbesondere die vertikal oberste Traverse einen Witterungsschutz darstellen, beispielsweise durch eine wenigstens abschnittsweise durchgehende Bedachung des Systems, wodurch nicht nur das modulare System selbst geschützt werden kann, sondern auch die an tiefer liegenden Traversen angeordneten funktionellen Komponenten und zuletzt auch die eigentliche Bebauung der Fläche unterhalb der Traverse(n). In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die oberste Traverse erneut an ihrer Oberseite bebaut oder bepflanzt werden, beispielsweise kann dort Erdreich aufgeschüttet werden, das in kontrollierter oder in wilder Weise bewachsen werden kann, um die Ökobilanz des Systems weiter zu verbessern.In the case of traverses arranged one above the other, in particular the vertically uppermost traverse can represent weather protection, for example by roofing the system at least in sections, whereby not only the modular system itself is protected can, but also the functional components arranged on lower traverses and finally the actual development of the area below the traverse (s). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the uppermost traverse can be re-cultivated or planted on its upper side, for example soil can be heaped up there, which can be overgrown in a controlled or wild manner in order to further improve the ecological balance of the system.
Wenngleich die in dem erfindungsgemäßen System vorgesehenen Pfeiler fest installiert und/oder von vordefinierten Abmessungen sein können, so kann es doch vorteilhaft sein, wenn wenigstens einer der Pfeiler ebenfalls modular aufgebaut ist, so dass die Dimensionen des wenigstens einen Pfeilers durch Wahl der Anzahl und Abmessungen der verwendeten Pfeilermodule anpassbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann beispielsweise die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, eine sich zwischen einem Paar von Pfeilern erstreckende Traverse in ihrer Höhe zu verlagern, wenn die Höhe der einzelnen Pfeiler und insbesondere des Anbringungsbereichs der genannten Traverse höhenveränderbar ist, und es können ebenfalls Höhenunterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Pfeilern ausgeglichen werden, wodurch vorkonfektionierte Pfeilermodule auch in unebenem Terrain verwendet werden können und nur geringe Anpassungen daran notwendig sind.Although the pillars provided in the system according to the invention can be permanently installed and / or can be of predefined dimensions, it can nevertheless be advantageous if at least one of the pillars is also of modular construction, so that the dimensions of the at least one pillar are selected by the number and dimensions the pillar modules used is customizable. In this way, for example, the possibility can be created of shifting the height of a crossbar extending between a pair of pillars if the height of the individual pillars and in particular of the mounting area of the said crossbar can be changed in height, and there can also be height differences between the individual pillars can be compensated, which means that pre-assembled pillar modules can also be used in uneven terrain and only minor adjustments are necessary.
Um eine ausreichende Lebensdauer und Korrosionsbeständigkeit sowie kostengünstige Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems sicherstellen zu können, kann wenigstens einer der Pfeiler und/oder die eine oder wenigstens eine der Traversen wenigstens abschnittsweise aus Stahl, Aluminium und/oder Verbundmaterialien bestehen.In order to be able to ensure a sufficient service life and corrosion resistance as well as cost-effective production of the system according to the invention, at least one of the pillars and / or the one or at least one of the cross members can consist at least in sections of steel, aluminum and / or composite materials.
Erfindungsgemäß kann das modulare System ferner wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente umfassen, welche mittels der wenigstens einen Verbindungseinheit an einem der Pfeiler und/oder einer der Traversen anbringbar ist. Es versteht sich hierbei, dass jeweils eine Mehrzahl von gleichen funktionellen Komponenten vorgesehen sein kann und ein einzelnes erfindungsgemäßes System auch eine oder mehrere Komponenten von verschiedenen Typen umfassen kann.According to the invention, the modular system can further comprise at least one functional component which can be attached to one of the pillars and / or one of the cross members by means of the at least one connecting unit. It is understood here that a plurality of the same functional each Components can be provided and a single system according to the invention can also comprise one or more components of different types.
Wenngleich die Anzahl und Typen der verwendeten funktionellen Komponenten praktisch keiner Einschränkung unterliegen, so stellt es eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform dar, wenn die wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente ein Solarmodul umfasst, insbesondere ein Fotovoltaik-Modul. Derzeit ist es nämlich gängig, derartige Solarmodule insbesondere auf Dach- und Freiflächen zu installieren. Hierbei haben erstere den Nachteil, dass der Bauraum auf den Dachflächen oft sehr begrenzt ist und daher die Installations- und Systemkosten verhältnismäßig hoch sind, da zentrale Komponenten für die kleine bebaute Fläche eines einzelnen Daches individuell beschafft werden müssen. Außerdem ist es in diesem Zusammenhang für Investoren schwierig, ausreichende passende Dächer für eine Installation von Solarmodulen überhaupt zu finden.Although the number and types of the functional components used are practically not subject to any restrictions, it is a particularly advantageous embodiment if the at least one functional component comprises a solar module, in particular a photovoltaic module. It is currently common to install such solar modules, particularly on roof and open spaces. The former have the disadvantage that the installation space on the roof areas is often very limited and therefore the installation and system costs are relatively high, since central components for the small built-up area of a single roof have to be procured individually. In this context, it is also difficult for investors to find adequate roofs for an installation of solar modules.
Andererseits hat die Freiflächentechnik den Nachteil der Flächenversiegelung und des Verlusts von Grünland, weswegen derartige Projekte bereits heute ohnehin zumeist in der Nähe von Autobahnen oder Bahnstrecken realisiert werden. Indem nun ein Solarmodul an einem erfindungsgemäßen modularen System angebracht wird, wird es ermöglicht, bereits ohnehin versiegelte Flächen synergetisch zu nutzen, so dass keine zusätzliche Belastung der Umwelt durch weitere Baumaßnahmen in der Ebene entsteht.On the other hand, open space technology has the disadvantage of sealing land and losing grassland, which is why such projects are already being carried out in the vicinity of motorways or railway lines. By attaching a solar module to a modular system according to the invention, it is possible to use already sealed surfaces in a synergistic manner, so that no additional pollution of the environment arises from further construction measures on the level.
Ferner können durch die Verwendung eines erfindungsgemäßen Systems zur Anbringung von Solarmodulen auch die Installationskosten für derartige Module gesenkt werden, da zwar einmalig in die Pfeiler und Traversen investiert werden muss, die Flächen jedoch bereits anderweitig genutzt werden und somit nicht exklusiv für die Solarmodule erworben oder gepachtet werden müssen. Zudem ist in Kooperation mit den oben angesprochenen bestehenden Freiflächen-Solaranlagen in der Nähe von Autobahnen oder ähnlieher Infrastruktur ein Zugang zum Stromnetz bereits mit geringem Aufwand und geringen Kosten realisierbar.Furthermore, the installation costs for such modules can also be reduced by using a system according to the invention for attaching solar modules, since one-time investments have to be made in the pillars and trusses, but the areas are already being used for other purposes and are therefore not purchased or leased exclusively for the solar modules Need to become. In addition, is in cooperation with the above-mentioned open space solar systems near motorways or the like Infrastructure access to the power grid can be implemented with little effort and low costs.
Zuletzt sind bebaute Flächen, wie Autobahnen, Straßen- und Bahnstrecken und ggf. auch Gewerbe- und Logistikflächen oder Parkplätze, zumeist bereits weitreichend von Vegetation befreit, wodurch Verschattungen der Solarmodule gering ausfallen werden. Dieser Vorteil wird durch die Anbringung der Solarmodule an den Traversen und/oder Pfeilern in einer Höhe über dem Erdboden noch weiter verstärkt. Des Weiteren kann durch das modulare Konzept der vorliegenden Erfindung an einen Einsatz bereits existierender Typen von Solarmodulen aus der Dach- und Freiflächentechnik gedacht werden, wobei eine optimale Ausrichtung zur Sonne durch die Wahl von geeigneten Verbindungseinheiten stets einfach zu erzielen ist. Da es sich insbesondere bei Straßen um signifikante zusammenhängende Flächen handelt, lassen sich durch den Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Systems auch sehr große Projekte realisieren, welche die Investitionskosten pro Solarmodul weiter senken.Finally, built-up areas, such as motorways, road and rail lines and possibly also commercial and logistics areas or parking lots, are mostly already largely free of vegetation, which means that shading of the solar modules will be minimal. This advantage is further enhanced by attaching the solar modules to the crossbeams and / or pillars at a height above the ground. Furthermore, the modular concept of the present invention makes it possible to use existing types of solar modules from roof and open space technology, with optimal alignment to the sun always being easy to achieve by choosing suitable connection units. Since roads are significant coherent areas in particular, very large projects can be realized through the use of the system according to the invention, which further reduce the investment costs per solar module.
In ähnlicher Weise wie ein Solarmodul könnte die wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente auch ein Windkraft-Modul umfassen. Hierbei könnte einerseits an die bekannten Windturbinen gedacht werden, die beispielsweise in vertikalen Verlängerungen der Pfeiler des erfindungsgemäßen Systems installiert sein könnten, oder auch an andere Technologien, die einen geringeren Bauraum in vertikaler Richtung benötigen, wie beispielsweise vertikale Windturbinen.In a manner similar to a solar module, the at least one functional component could also include a wind power module. Here, on the one hand, one could think of the known wind turbines, which could be installed, for example, in vertical extensions of the pillars of the system according to the invention, or also of other technologies that require less installation space in the vertical direction, such as, for example, vertical wind turbines.
Des Weiteren könnte die wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente eine Stromleitung umfassen, insbesondere eine Freileitung und/oder eine Oberleitung. Beispielsweise könnte das erfindungsgemäße System, wenn es mehrere Paare von Pfeilern und Traversen umfasst, ein oder mehrere Oberleitungen umfassen, welche jeweils zwischen diesen Paaren gespannt sind.Furthermore, the at least one functional component could comprise a power line, in particular an overhead line and / or an overhead line. For example, the system according to the invention, if it comprises several pairs of pillars and trusses, could comprise one or more overhead lines, each of which is stretched between these pairs.
Insbesondere in Ausführungsformen, in denen das erfindungsgemäße System nicht nur Stromleitungen, sondern auch Stromerzeuger und/oder Stromverbraucher oder ggf. weitere Infrastruktur des Netzes trägt, kann durch die hierdurch entstehenden synergetischen Effekte eine deutliche Kostenersparnis bei der Installation dieser Einrichtungen erzielt werden. Hierbei ist insbesondere daran zu denken, dass Straßen und Bahnlinien in der Regel infrastrukturelle Knoten miteinander verbinden, wodurch eine parallele Infrastruktur für Verkehr und Energietransport errichtet werden kann, die langfristig einen Teil des bestehenden Stromnetzes redundant machen könnte. In diesem Zusammenhang könnte durch das Vorsehen von Oberleitungen auch direkt eine Abnahme von Energie durch Verbraucher vorgesehen werden, beispielsweise durch Züge und/oder batterieelektrische Fahrzeuge, um deren Traktionsmotoren auf den mit Oberleitungen versehenen Streckenabschnitten zu betreiben und/oder Akkumulatoren während der Fahrt aufzuladen. Auch Einrichtungen zum direkten Entnehmen von durch im Bereich des erfindungsgemäßen Systems erzeugter Energie können vorgesehen werden, beispielsweise Ladestationen für elektrisch betriebene Fahrzeuge, und überdies auch zu diesem Zweck vorgesehene Speicher für elektrische Energie, wie beispielsweise Akkumulatoren oder Superkondensatoren.In particular in embodiments in which the system according to the invention carries not only power lines, but also power generators and / or power consumers or possibly further network infrastructure, the resulting synergetic effects can result in significant cost savings in the installation of these facilities. In particular, it should be borne in mind that roads and rail lines usually connect infrastructural nodes with each other, which means that a parallel infrastructure for traffic and energy transport can be established, which could make part of the existing electricity network redundant in the long term. In this context, the provision of overhead lines could also provide for a direct decrease in energy by consumers, for example trains and / or battery-electric vehicles, in order to operate their traction motors on the sections of the route provided with overhead lines and / or to recharge batteries while driving. Devices for the direct removal of energy generated in the area of the system according to the invention can also be provided, for example charging stations for electrically operated vehicles, and moreover also stores for electrical energy provided for this purpose, such as accumulators or supercapacitors.
Weiterhin könnte die wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente wenigstens eine Kommunikationsvorrichtung umfassen, beispielsweise eine Anzeigevorrichtung und/oder eine Funkvorrichtung. Insbesondere hinsichtlich der Perspektive von autonom fahrenden Fahrzeugen wird es notwendig sein, Autobahnen und auch Bahnstrecken mit Hochgeschwindigkeits-Internetanbindungen auszurüsten, die zusätzlich eine möglichst kurze Latenz aufweisen sollten. Hierzu sind nach derzeitigem Stand der Technik viele kleine Funkzellen notwendig. Die hierfür benötigte Infrastruktur in Form von Basisstationen und Glasfaserkabeln lässt sich ohne weiteres in einem erfindungsgemäßen modularen System anbringen, wodurch das häufig schwierige Finden geeigneter Standorte neben Autobahnen entfallen könnte. Auch die Kosten für die Verlegung der notwendigen Kabel sowohl für die Kommunikation und auch die Stromversorgung derartiger Funkzellen wird durch die Anbringung an erfindungsgemäßen modularen Systemen deutlich verringert. Selbstverständlich kann die derart an dem erfindungsgemäßen System vorgesehene Infrastruktur auch mit Komponenten gekoppelt sein, die sich wenigstens abschnittsweise außerhalb davon erstrecken, beispielsweise im Untergrund oder hängend angeordneten Kabeln oder Leitungen.Furthermore, the at least one functional component could comprise at least one communication device, for example a display device and / or a radio device. In particular with regard to the perspective of autonomous vehicles, it will be necessary to equip motorways and rail routes with high-speed Internet connections, which should also have the lowest possible latency. According to the current state of the art, many small radio cells are required for this. The infrastructure required for this in the form of base stations and fiber optic cables can easily be installed in a modular system according to the invention, as a result of which the often difficult finding of suitable locations next to highways could be eliminated. Also the cost of laying the necessary cables for both communication and also the power supply of such radio cells is significantly reduced by the attachment to modular systems according to the invention. Of course, the infrastructure provided in this way on the system according to the invention can also be coupled with components that extend at least in sections outside of it, for example in the underground or suspended cables or lines.
In diesem Zusammenhang und auch davon unabhängig könnte ferner daran gedacht werden, dass die wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente wenigstens eine Sensorvorrichtung umfassen kann, beispielsweise eine Verkehrserfassungs-Vorrichtung. Derartige fest installierte Verkehrserfassungs-Vorrichtungen stellen bereits wertvolle Eingabevorrichtungen für das Auswerten und Führen von Verkehrsströmen dar, wobei ihre Bedeutung in der Zukunft vor dem Hintergrund der Perspektive des autonomen Fahrens noch einmal enorm anwachsen wird.In this context and also independently of this, it could also be considered that the at least one functional component can comprise at least one sensor device, for example a traffic detection device. Such permanently installed traffic detection devices already represent valuable input devices for evaluating and guiding traffic flows, and their importance will increase enormously in the future against the background of the perspective of autonomous driving.
Weiterhin kann die wenigstens eine funktionelle Komponente wenigstens eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung umfassen, wodurch je nach Typ der Bebauung der bebauten Fläche beispielsweise ohnehin notwendige Beleuchtungsvorrichtungen, wie z.B. Straßenbeleuchtungen, ersetzt werden könnten.Furthermore, the at least one functional component can comprise at least one lighting device, so that depending on the type of development of the built-up area, lighting devices that are necessary anyway, such as e.g. Street lights, could be replaced.
Zuletzt kann das erfindungsgemäße modulare System eine Vorrichtung zur automatisierten Wartung und/oder Nachrüstung umfassen, beispielsweise eine Vorrichtung, die autonom den strukturellen Zustand der einzelnen Module des modularen Systems überprüft und bei einem Eintreten eines unerwünschten Zustands ein Signal an eine mit Reparaturen des Systems befasste Instanz ausgibt.Finally, the modular system according to the invention can include a device for automated maintenance and / or retrofitting, for example a device that autonomously checks the structural condition of the individual modules of the modular system and, when an undesirable condition occurs, sends a signal to an entity involved in repairs to the system issues.
