Los accidentes de tráfico constituyen un serio problema en los países industrializados. Existen claras evidencias que demuestran la estrecha relación entre el respeto de las normas de circulación y los accidentes de tráfico. De hecho diferentes estudios realizados hasta la fecha demuestran que conducir haciendo uso del teléfono móvil eleva la probabilidad de accidente entre 4 y 9 veces; dicho riesgo equivale a ir conduciendo con la tasa límite de alcoholemia permitida. El disponer de un sistema automático que detecte el uso del teléfono móvil por parte de un conductor tiene muchas aplicaciones prácticas.Traffic accidents constitute a serious problem in industrialized countries. There is clear evidence. which demonstrate the close relationship between respect for the rules of traffic and traffic accidents. In fact different Studies conducted to date show that driving mobile phone use raises the probability of an accident between 4 and 9 times; this risk is equivalent to driving with the limit rate of breathalyzer allowed. Having an automatic system that detect the use of the mobile phone by a driver has Many practical applications.
Actualmente existen sistemas que son capaces de detectar la presencia y/o el uso de aparatos de telefonía móvil en diferentes recintos, que podrían aplicarse en principio al habitáculo del automóvil, sin embargo no se tiene conocimiento de ningún dispositivo electrónico autónomo que sea capaz de discriminar cuando el teléfono está siendo utilizado por el conductor y cuando está siendo utilizado por uno o varios de los acompañantes.There are currently systems that are capable of detect the presence and / or use of mobile telephony devices in different enclosures, which could be applied in principle to car interior, however there is no knowledge of no autonomous electronic device that is capable of discriminating when the phone is being used by the driver and when It is being used by one or more of the companions.
Otras posibilidades, con evidentes limitaciones, para detectar la utilización de un teléfono móvil son la realización de encuestas al propio conductor, inspección visual por parte de personal o sistemas de visión artificial, pero ninguna de estas soluciones permite una detección automática y robusta del evento de interés.Other possibilities, with obvious limitations, to detect the use of a mobile phone are the realization of surveys to the driver himself, visual inspection by personnel or artificial vision systems, but none of these solutions allows automatic and robust detection of the event of interest.

Por lo que su elección permite al sistema adaptarse fácilmente a distintos tipos de vehículos y/o aplicaciones. En la presente invención la antena tiene que sintonizar la banda GSM y/o UMTS o cualquier otra banda de frecuencias en la que funcione el terminal cuyo uso se quiere detectar. Debido a que se debe detectar una concentración de energía en la posición del conductor es conveniente el uso de más de una antena, colocadas en sitios diferentes del habitáculo del vehículo.It constitutes the tuning element of the system directly influencing two main parameters: band of frequencies at which the energy to be collected is emitted and detection distance So your choice allows the system easily adapt to different types of vehicles and / or Applications. In the present invention the antenna has to tune the GSM and / or UMTS band or any other band of frequencies in which the terminal whose use is wanted to work detect. Because an energy concentration must be detected in the driver's position it is convenient to use more than one antenna, placed in different places of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
La función de este módulo electrónico es convertir la señal alterna de alta frecuencia en una señal continua, proporcional a la energía emitida por el teléfono móvil en funcionamiento. Está basado en un circuito rectificador de la señal de alta frecuencia captada por la antena y uno o varios circuitos electrónicos dobladores de tensión, obteniendo al final de la cadena una tensión continua que es proporcional a la energía captada por la antena y en consecuencia, a la distancia entre el terminal móvil y la antena.The function of this electronic module is convert the high frequency alternating signal into a continuous signal, proportional to the energy emitted by the mobile phone in functioning. It is based on a signal rectifier circuit high frequency captured by the antenna and one or more circuits electronic tension benders, getting at the end of the chain a continuous voltage that is proportional to the energy captured by the antenna and consequently, at the distance between the mobile terminal and the antenna.

Fabricada sobre un circuito impreso, debe estar diseñada para la banda de frecuencias utilizadas en GSM, aunque es posible utilizar antenas que capten simultáneamente más bandas de frecuencia (tribanda, cuatribanda, etc.). Su diagrama de radiación es preferente que no sea directivo, lo que permite que la distancia de detección del sistema permanezca prácticamente constante alrededor de la antena.Made on a printed circuit, it must be designed for the frequency band used in GSM, although it is possible to use antennas that simultaneously capture more bands of frequency (triband, quad band, etc.). Your radiation diagram it is preferred that it is not directive, which allows the distance system detection remain virtually constant Around the antenna
Para captar la energía de alta frecuencia proveniente de la antena y rectificarla se puede utilizar un circuito doblador de tensión, con lo que también se consigue aumentar el nivel de señal de salida, que es inversamente proporcional a la distancia entre la antena y el teléfono móvil. Este circuito utiliza diodos schottky por su baja tensión de umbral y elevada frecuencia de conmutación; la energía rectificada se almacena en un condensador de salida proporcionando una señal estable al conversor analógico-digital de la siguiente etapa.To capture high frequency energy from the antenna and rectify it you can use a voltage doubler circuit, which is also achieved increase the output signal level, which is inversely proportional to the distance between the antenna and the mobile phone. This circuit uses schottky diodes due to its low threshold voltage and high switching frequency; rectified energy is stores in an output capacitor providing a signal stable to the analog-digital converter of the next stage
Para digitalizar la señal de salida proporcionada por el circuito captador de energía y aplicar el algoritmo de detección se puede utilizar un ATmega32. Este microcontrolador es el que mediante el análisis de la señal digitalizada, discrimina cuando el conductor hace uso de su teléfono móvil del resto de ocupantes del vehículo. La detección puede ser transmitida en tiempo real gracias a un interfaz de comunicaciones o bien almacenarse para su transmisión bajo demanda, gracias a la existencia de memoria EEPROM que asegura la permanencia de los datos incluso cuando el sistema no se encuentra alimentado.To digitize the output signal provided by the power pickup circuit and apply the Detection algorithm can be used an ATmega32. This microcontroller is the one that by signal analysis digitized, discriminates when the driver makes use of his phone mobile of the other occupants of the vehicle. Detection can be transmitted in real time thanks to a communications interface or well stored for transmission on demand, thanks to the existence of EEPROM memory that ensures the permanence of the data even when the system is not powered.
Una de las principales aplicaciones del sistema es para compañías de seguros que desean ajustar los precios de las pólizas en función de la manera en que se realiza la conducción del vehículo ("pay as you drive"), penalizando las conductas imprudentes al volante, como es el uso del teléfono móvil. También puede ser utilizado por compañías de transporte de personas o mercancías que deseen conocer si sus conductores respetan regularmente la normativa legal sobre circulación viaria. Los fabricantes de vehículos también podrían utilizar el sistema para poner en marcha mecanismos adicionales de seguridad ante una detección positiva, por ejemplo la activación de la alerta ante cambios involuntarios de carril o el endurecimiento de la dirección asistida para evitar desvíos inconscientes en la trayectoria seguida por el coche.One of the main applications of the system is for insurance companies that want to adjust the prices of policies based on the way in which the vehicle is conducted (" pay as you drive "), penalizing reckless driving behaviors, such as It is the use of mobile phone. It can also be used by transport companies of people or merchandise who wish to know if their drivers regularly respect the legal regulations on road traffic. Vehicle manufacturers could also use the system to put in place additional safety mechanisms in the face of positive detection, for example the activation of the alert to involuntary lane changes or hardening of the power steering to avoid unconscious deviations in the path followed by Car.
