Abstract

Tax fraud detection system. Constituted from a device that takes from the taximeter the exit signal that indicates the state of the flag. In addition, sensors are located in each taxi seat that detect which seats are occupied. This information, together with the time and position, both the start of the race and the end of it, are sent by gprs technology to a central locator, where all the races made by the taxi, including the information, are registered. Of place and time of start of the race, place and time of the end of the race, route and number of occupants of the vehicle. In this way, all races and their duration are registered in the central locator, thus avoiding frauds for undeclared races. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Taxi fraud detection system.

The present invention relates to capable system to detect in a taxi the state of the flag (rise or fall) and Vehicle occupancy The system sends this information, and the position information, obtained by GPS from a locator central, so you can track the races that the taxi has been able to detect race fraud not declared, etc.

The taxi sector is a very susceptible sector to fraud, because there are no systems that perform controls exhaustive or these systems are easily falsifiable, either Intentionally or through carelessness.

Its industrial application is framed in the mobile tracking devices and systems sector, in concrete devices and mobile tracking systems for Taxis

Various inventions are currently known for carry out monitoring and control of taxis. The document ES 2 015 493 describes a system to facilitate the control of taximeters, which It comprises a central processing unit, a card reader magnetic, a printer, a keyboard and media indicators functioning. It is characterized by the fact that the central unit process, magnetic card reader, printer, keyboard and indicator media are mounted on the same module, and because it also includes a RAM memory card, housed in the same module and interconnected with the central unit of process. The memory card collects all data and is removable of the module allowing the processing of card data on independent computers. Document 2 185 469 describes a comprehensive taxi control system, which aims to give Taxi driver safety. It is constituted by association functional of a data console, a communications center and wiring elements and accessories among which a on-board telephone, a GPS / GSM antenna and a panic button. He document 2 204 847 describes a method and system for registering electronically and provide information on the use of a means of public transport. This document presents a method to register electronically the use of a means of public transport, such as a bus, a train, a taxi or similar, in which a passenger with a wireless communication device that carries identity data, which are suitable for communication with a local communication infrastructure associated with a means of respective public transport, which records passenger data wirelessly

All this that is known presents solutions to problems associated with passenger transport and in particular taxis, such as taximeter control, security taxi driver or electronic user registration of a means of transport. But no document provides a solution to the problem that resolves the present invention: avoid fraud that taxi drivers They can commit charging undeclared races.

Therefore, the invention proposed here It has the following advantages:

one

Make a record of each run, number of occupants in the vehicle, state of the flag and travel.

2

Send the collected data to a central server where they are stored for later reference.

3

The complexity of the system is hidden on one level. of abstraction outside the user, who only has to handle the Taximeter as it did before installing the system in the vehicle.

Thus, the taxi fraud detection system will constitutes from a device that takes the taximeter from non-intrusive way the output signal indicating the state of the flag. In addition to this device, they are located in each square of the taxi sensors that detect which places are occupied. This way you can make a record of how many people travel in the vehicle, the state of the flag, the area (1, 2 or 3) and if produces a career cancellation (state 0), information collected said device. This information, along with the time and position, both at the beginning of the race and at the end of it, is send via GPRS technology to a central locator, in which all races made by the taxi are recorded, including the place and time information for the start of the race, place and time of the end of the race, route and number of occupants vehicle. In this way, all races and their duration remain registered in the central locator, thus avoiding fraud for undeclared careers.

For a better understanding of how much is expressed In this descriptive report a drawing is attached below that by way of non-limiting example it represents an embodiment preferred.

Figure 1: Schematic view of the elements of the system.

The numbered elements correspond to:

one)

Data collection device.

2)

Cab.

3)

Seat sensors.

4)

Taximeter.

5)

GPS device

6)

Central Locator

7)

Chapel or luminous outdoor module.

A preferred embodiment is constituted from of a device (1) that takes the taximeter (4) so that intrusive the output signal indicating the state of the flag that It is also displayed in the chapel (7). In addition to this device (1), sensors (3) are detected in each square of the taxi that detect what places are occupied, information that also includes device (1). This way you can make a record of how many people travel in the vehicle, from the state of the flag, which signal by the chapel (7), of the area in which it is operating the taxi (1, 2 or 3) and if there is a cancellation of the race (signaled by state 0). This information, along with that of time and position, both at the start of the race and at the end of the same, obtained thanks to the GPS device (5) are sent by GPRS technology to a central locator (6), in which there are registered all the races made by the taxi (2), including the place and time information for the start of the race, place and time of the end of the race, route and number of occupants of the vehicle. In this way, all races and their duration are recorded in the central locator (6), thus avoiding fraud by undeclared careers.

Claims (1)

1. Taxi fraud detection system, characterized in that it is constituted from the following devices: sensors in the taxi seats, a GPS device, a GPRS data transmitter and receiver device, a location outside the taxi and a device that, non-intrusively, collects the output signal of the taximeter.
