  • the invention further relates to an electronic systems technology arrangement for assisting the travel of a vehicle using distinctive signal, the arrangement has a diffuse active module for being detected, the module is provided with radiofrequency transmitter outputs and transmitting aerials connected to them whose transmission can be detected within a given range.
  • audio and light signals is an active means for an emergency vehicle in order to help its safe and continuous travel while it is a passive means for the other participants of the public traffic.
  • audio and light signals which should ensure the safe travel of the emergency vehicle does not always elicit a satisfactory effect because of the number of people participating in the public traffic either as pedestrians or drivers of a vehicle as they are partially isolated from the environment.
  • Patent application US2008150759 (A1 ) describes a method in which RFID technology is used for communication with Intelligent Traffic signalling system to efficiently handle traffic. Owing to the interaction between an existing intelligent traffic system and the RFID the temporary position of an emergency vehicle with distinctive signals is detected. Typically, this solution can only be used in the infrastructure of large cities where the intelligent traffic system is installed. Further, because of the short effective range of the RFID cards they can provide data only at separate discrete points.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a more active electronic system which can inform not only in a passive but in an active manner all the participants (drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists) of the traffic for assisting the travel of a nearby vehicle with distinctive signal i.e. a system that makes them perceive the emergency vehicle in order to give way to it.
  • the travel assisting system which can be installed in a given vehicle in addition to the distinctive sound and light signals can ensure an active means for the travelling vehicle so that it may be detected more efficiently for the public traffic. It is ensured by an assisting systems technology arrangement which changes the perception from a passive process into an active process.
  • TAS - safe and continuous travel of an emergency vehicle can be ensured generally even in the aforementioned situations.
  • the TAS according to the invention in addition to the distinctive light and sound signals is able to provide information to the people participating in the traffic through more channels at the same time even by blocking or possibly overwriting the hindering factors mentioned in the introductory part.
  • the so called diffuse active detection it is able to assist the emergency travel by using the public road apparatuses, the communications devices, entertaining devices which are just employed by the people travelling on the road, or even by using the hindering smart devices for a short time.
  • the short time is physically required since the emergency vehicle usually travels fast as compared to the effective ranges of the installed module of TAS.
  • the method according to the preamble is implemented by using at least two of the following transmission types a), b), c), and d) at the same time automatically when the distinctive signal is in on:
  • the electronic systems technology arrangement according to the preamble is realized by using at least two of the following transmission types a), b), c), and d):
  • TAS as a system is an electronic systems technology arrangement for realizing the object of the present invention.
  • the system and method according to the invention makes the diffuse active detection possible.
  • the primary means for it is a Diffuse Active Module for being detected - hereinafter shortly called DAM - which is parallelly activated or deactivated when the current distinctive signals are switched on or off.
  • DAM does not require any further control or intervention. Occasionally it can be pre-configured by using different configurations for adjusting it to specific regional features but it is independent of its operation. Practically, the present invention involves all the devices and solutions resting on automatic services, functions of DAM. This is realized virtually and/or through technical solutions which do not require pre-linking, pre-configuration.
  • the invention involves all the devices and solutions comprising dynamically varying number of units and devices ensuring active detection. These are physically independent of the automatic services of DAM. They dynamically vary depending on the number of users, channels and services.
  • a simple, so called cloud-based solution presents the essence of the method and system of the invention for utilizing the automatic services of DAM and certain premium services.
  • the premium services are information transmitted through the Real Time Information System operated by the public road maintainer and usually displayed on a real time traffic information board.

  • the core of the system is a diffuse active module for being detected 1.
  • the diffuse active module for being detected 1 communicates with car radios 2 by means of the RDS diffuse broadcast I.a. Through these GPS coordinates can also be transmitted via wireless (SIM card based) internet network.
  • the diffuse active module for being detected 1 may further communicate with other AM-FM mobile radio receivers 3 through AM-FM diffuse broadcast I.b. These can be switched on devices which have AM-FM mobile radio receiver 3 used by motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians e.g. phones, tablets, music playing devices, etc.
  • number of car radios 2 and AM-FM mobile radio receivers 3 may be in the effective range of the diffuse active module for being detected 1 transmitting in a given wave length. In the Figure this is indicated by diffuse broadcast I.(n).
  • the diffuse active module for being detected through a one-sided Bluetooth Request II.a communicates with any switched on portable devices having Bluetooth connection. To this the portable device must be provided with a previously uploaded application 5. Several types of these devices are feasible, in the Figure it is shown by the previously uploaded applications 6 with one-sided Bluetooth Request Il.b and II.(n) connections, and other devices provided with applications which do not require pairing due to the proper information technologies.
  • the diffuse active module for being detected 1 communicates with a real time traffic information board 9 of the public road maintainer through Wi-Fi broadcast III.
  • a suitably coded message for example a text message or a pictogram is sent for display from the server-side application and data base 7.
  • an application 8 is needed at a distant place, usually in the neighbourhood of the real time traffic information board 9 which makes display of the real time traffic information on the real time traffic information board 9 possible through the internet according to the solution of Fig. 3 supplementing Fig. 2 .
