Description

The utility model relates to the field of communication systems, namely to a multifunctional system for scheduling and monitoring moving objects, and can be used in protection and search systems for cars; to ensure the safety of vehicles (TS) carried by passengers and goods; to warn about attempts of unauthorized access (penetration) to the vehicle, about the facts of unauthorized actions aimed at disrupting the normal operation of the vehicle's onboard systems and unlawful seizure of the vehicle.

There are various satellite systems for determining the location of moving objects, the most interesting of which are the American global positioning system (GPS) Navstar, as well as its Russian counterpart, the Glonass system. These systems are a grouping of satellites placed in low Earth orbit, the coordinates of each of the satellites are known (satellites move in known orbits, and the coordinates are calculated in advance; and every second in a high-precision system of a single time for all satellites, the satellites broadcast their coordinates. on the ground, it receives information from satellites and measures the delay of the signal.The receiver calculator solves the problem of determining the location of the receiver in space. buildings do not have the functions of ensuring the specified accuracy of positioning, complete analysis, accumulation and processing of data on the state of the observed objects, planning routes of vehicles, and there is no diagnostic and control system.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result is a complex of monitoring the location and parameters of vehicle traffic, including the vehicle’s mobile terminal located on each vehicle, receiving vehicle location information from satellite navigation systems, for example, GLONASS, GPS, and transmitting location information using data transmission systems, for example, GSM (CSD, GPRS, SMS), INMARSAT, via the Internet to the server for storing and processing data of the main price data collection and processing, and the data storage and processing server is connected to workstations, while the main data collection and processing center contains an additional backup server (PCT / RU 01/004318, class G08В 25/08, 2001).

The disadvantages of the known device are the insufficiently high security of the monitoring complex, as well as the low fault tolerance of the system in case of failure of one of the elements.

The technical result, the achievement of which the present utility model is aimed, is to increase the security of the complex for monitoring the location and vehicle movement parameters, expand its functionality by providing the ability to monitor vehicles of different regions, reduce the amount of information transmitted over the network, and increase efficiency complex work.

The indicated technical result is achieved in that in the complex for monitoring the location and parameters of vehicle movement, including the vehicle’s mobile terminal located on each vehicle, receiving vehicle location information from satellite navigation systems, for example, GLONASS, GPS, and transmitting information location using data transmission systems, for example, GSM (CSD, GPRS, SMS), INMARSAT, via the Internet to the data storage and processing server of the main collection and processing center data, and the data storage and processing server is connected to workstations, while the main data collection and processing center contains an additional backup server, according to a utility model, the data storage and processing server of the main data collection and processing center is connected to the Internet via a firewall - Firewall server, while the server for storing and processing data of the main center is connected through a single internal network of the organization (EBCO) without access to the Internet with servers for storing and processing data regional data collection and processing centers, and information is divided according to the principle of a vehicle belonging to a specific region, each regional server stores electronic maps of the locality of a given region, workstations (computers) are connected to regional servers, and each regional center is equipped with a backup GSM communication channel to receive SMS messages with location information from MTTS directly to the workstation.

The drawing shows a diagram of a complex of monitoring the location and movement parameters of vehicles.

The vehicle location and traffic monitoring system includes a vehicle’s mobile terminal 1 (MTTS), which includes a receiver 2 of the vehicle’s positioning system (TS), a transceiver 3 of a satellite communication system with an antenna, a GSM transceiver 4 with an antenna, a firewall 5 (Firewall server ) installed between the Internet and the server 6 for storing and processing data of the main center for collecting and processing information about the location of the vehicle. A backup server 7 is installed in the main center. Workstation 8 is connected to the server 6 for storing and processing data of the main center for collecting and processing information about the location of the vehicle; 8 workstations - automated workstations (AWS) of 8 control room operators. The monitoring complex also includes regional servers 9 for storing and processing data without Internet access with AWS 10 connected to each of them. The vehicle’s mobile terminal (MTTS) receives vehicle location information from satellite navigation systems, for example, GPS 11, GLONASS 12, or other orbital constellations of satellite navigation systems 13. The vehicle’s mobile terminal 1 transmits location information using data communication systems via the GSM telecommunication terrestrial 14 communication systems (CSD, GPRS, SMS) or the INMARSAT 15 satellite communication systems and other satellite communication systems 16, via the Internet. The server 6 for storing and processing data of the main collection center and the regional servers 9 are connected to a single internal network of the organization 17 (EBCO). EBCO is a local area network that integrates computer equipment within an organization. Internet access is possible only from the head office via a firewall (Firewall server). It differs from other networks by a high level of security.

The complex for monitoring the location and parameters of vehicle movement works as follows:

In the process, the mobile terminal 1 of the vehicle (MTTS) installed on a controlled vehicle (not indicated in the drawing) collects information about the movement and condition of the vehicle. MTTS receives information about the location and speed of movement from satellite navigation systems 11, 12 GLONASS / GPS through satellite communication channels (when both navigation systems are used together, positioning accuracy is 2.37-4.65 m). Information about the state of the vehicle (temperature and engine speed, fuel consumption, fuel remaining in the tanks, etc.) is collected through a number of sensors installed on various nodes (not shown in the drawing).

MTTS 1 collects the information on an ongoing basis (with a given discreteness, depending on the operating mode) via the GSM mobile network operator via the CSD / GPRS data channel to the server 6 for storing and processing data of the main center for collecting and processing vehicle location information. An intermediate link between the servers of the cellular operator and the server 6 for storing and processing data of the main center for collecting and processing information about the location of the vehicle is the network of the cellular operator and the public Internet.

In the absence of a cellular network signal (lack of coverage), the channels of the international satellite communications company Inmarsat D + are used to transmit information. The signal is transmitted to one of the satellites and then relayed to the ground station. Then, via the Internet, data is transmitted to the server 6 for storing and processing data of the main center for collecting and processing information about the location of the vehicle.

All incoming and outgoing data from external public networks are filtered by the firewall 5 - Firewall server. Firewall 5 ensures the security of the organization’s internal network by cutting off all connections that do not satisfy predefined rules. Data received from MTTS satisfies the organization’s security requirements and, having passed the Firewall server, goes to server 6 of the main center for collecting and processing vehicle location information.

Server 6 of the main information collection and processing center stores and processes information received from MTTS 1. Being connected to the organization’s unified internal network (server), server 6, upon request, provides information to regional servers 9, which are also connected to EBCO. To increase fault tolerance and ensure data safety, the backup server 7 (Backup server) is connected to the main server 6. In normal operation, the backup server 7 stores and maintains up-to-date copies of information located on the main server 6. In case of a critical situation, it can perform the functions of the main server 6.

Information from the main server 6 for processing and storing information from MTTS 1 can be obtained by: operators from automated workstations (AWS) 8 connected directly to server 6 and operators from AWP 10 connected to servers 9 located in the regional offices of the organization. Using AWP 10 located in regional offices and connected to regional servers 9, you can view information about the location and status of vehicles related to this region. Moreover, each regional server 9 stores electronic maps of the terrain of this region and is equipped with a backup GSM communication channel for receiving SMS messages from MTTS 1 directly to the workstation.

In the event of a failure of the data transfer system from MTTS 1 to the workstation 10 of the control room (DP) through the organization’s internal network, MTTS 1 can send information in the form of SMS messages directly to the GSM terminal connected to the workstation 10DP.

The main difference of the proposed complex for monitoring the location and parameters of vehicles is a high level of information security and high fault tolerance of the system.

Data from MTTS 1 is transmitted to the server 6 of the main center for collecting and processing vehicle location information via the Internet. To exclude unauthorized access to the company's information resources, all incoming and outgoing connections to the Internet are filtered by firewall 5 (Firewall server). Access to Internet resources is available only at the head office of the company and only through the firewall 5 (Firewall server). Any incoming and outgoing Internet connections that do not meet the predefined rules are cut off. The exchange of information between various offices of the organization (between the server 6 of the main center for collecting and processing information about the location of the vehicle with the regional servers 9 for storing and processing data) occurs using a single internal network of the organization 17 (EBCO).

After processing the MTTS 1 data by the server 6 for storing and processing data located in the head office of the company, information about the location of the vehicle can be obtained:

- Operators AWP 8 DP, located in the head office of the company;

- regional servers 9 for processing data through an internal local area network;

- AWP 10 DP operators connected to regional servers 9.

The proposed complex monitoring the location and parameters of the movement of vehicles allows to determine the current location of the vehicle; transmission of navigation information; transmission of information about the state of the vehicle; collection, processing and storage of information received from the vehicle in a single database in real time with reference to a digital map of the area; remote control of the operating modes of the mobile terminals of the vehicle from the control room.

In addition, a complex of monitoring the location and parameters of vehicle traffic provides high information security (the absence of external unprotected connections); high fault tolerance of the system (redundancy of the server for storage and processing of data located at the head office, autonomy of regional servers); differentiation of access to vehicle location information for various (regional) branches of the organization, which reduces the amount of information transmitted over the network; digital maps of the area are purchased only depending on the needs of the regional branches of the organization, which can significantly increase the cost-effectiveness of the complex.

Using a complex of monitoring the location and movement parameters of vehicles will provide:

- continuous monitoring of the location and condition of the vehicle fleet (with a given discreteness - depending on the operating mode);

- safety of the vehicle, transported passengers and cargo: warning about attempts of unauthorized access (penetration) into the vehicle, about the facts of unauthorized actions aimed at disrupting the regular operation of the vehicle's onboard systems and unlawful seizure of the vehicle;

- taking measures to prevent unauthorized actions in relation to the vehicle organization, transported passengers and goods, in particular, theft of the vehicle, theft of goods carried;

- search for stolen vehicles belonging to the organization;

- performance of service tasks that allow optimizing the use of the vehicle fleet in order to reduce fuel consumption due to optimal planning of the route of movement, as well as a number of other tasks.
