SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The structural diagram of the proposed system for monitoring vehicles and the movement of personnel is presented in figure 1, where the following notation is used: 1 - unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object; 2 - radio network; 3 - the Internet; 4 - a lot of radio modems; 5 - communication server; 6 - data transmission network; 7 - server for storing and archiving data; 8 - a lot of personal computers; 9 - map server; 10 - servers of information systems.

The proposed system for monitoring vehicles and the movement of personnel works as follows.

The unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object 1 is located on the vehicle, or is used by a person as a wearable device, and is connected to the communication server 5 via radio network 2 and the Internet 3.

The block diagram of the unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object is presented in figure 2, where the following notation is used: 11 - microprocessor with a bi-directional data input / output bus; 12 - communication device; 13 - audio interface; 14 - receiver of the positioning system; 15 - a block for interfacing with primary information sensors; 16 - block processing analog signals; 17 - block interface with actuators; 18 - block interface with an external power supply network; 19 — port for interfacing with a personal computer; 20 — autonomous power supply unit; 21 - an additional memory block.

The unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object 1 operates as follows.

The microprocessor 11 by means of a bi-directional I / O bus transmits and receives control signals and data from the interface unit with primary information sensors 15 connected to it, the analog signal processing unit 16, the interface unit with actuators 17. The microprocessor operates in accordance with its program. The receiver of the positioning system 4 receives the signals of the corresponding global positioning system and calculates the coordinates of the vehicle. Data on the coordinates of the vehicle, as well as data from blocks 15 and 16 through the communication device 12 at a predetermined periodicity program are transmitted to the communication server 5.

The unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object is connected to the communication server 5 via the radio network 2 and the Internet 3. The radio network of the GSM standard can be used as the radio network.

If the object is located with the information collection and transmission unit located in it, in the area where there are no radio network signals or unstable reception, then information about the object coming from the receiver of the positioning system, primary information sensors, and the processing unit of analog signals is stored in the additional memory module 21 of the block collection and transmission of information. The information accumulated in the additional memory module is automatically transmitted to the communication server when a stable radio network signal is received by the communication device 12. As a communication device, for example, a GSM standard modem is used.

The unit for interfacing with the primary information sensors 15 when any of the sensors located on the object and connected to the inputs of the sensors block 15 (not shown in FIG. 2) is triggered provides a signal to the microprocessor 11. Block 16 processes the analog signals of the corresponding sensors and provides the corresponding signal to the microprocessor. Using the block interface with the actuators 17 (not shown in figure 2), the microprocessor can simultaneously control multiple actuators. When connected to the block for the collection and transmission of information through the inputs of the blocks 15, 16 of the primary information sensors, the microprocessor 11 will process the information received from these sensors in accordance with the program laid down. When connected to the unit for collecting and transmitting information through the conclusions of the block 14 of the actuators, the microprocessor 11 will control these mechanisms in accordance with the program laid down.

The interface port with a personal computer 19 is used to make changes to the microprocessor program using a personal computer (not shown in FIG. 2), or to connect to a shared data exchange bus between electronic units and vehicle nodes (not shown in FIG. 2) and providing additional control and condition of the vehicle.

The audio interface 13 associated with the communication device 12 is designed to enable voice communication between a person using the information collection and transmission unit as a wearable device, or a vehicle driver, with another subscriber of the radio network.

In the absence of an external power source, when using the information collection and transmission unit as a wearable device, or if the on-board power supply fails (or if it is turned off unintentionally), the autonomous power source 20 is automatically turned on on the vehicle, thereby ensuring uninterrupted operation of the collection and transmission unit information 1.

The unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object 1 transmits information coming from blocks 14, 15, 16 via the radio network 2 and the Internet 3 to the communication server 5. The Internet 3 provides information from the units for collecting and transmitting information about the object from the radio network to the communication server and back.

Also, the unit for collecting and transmitting information about the object 1 can carry out two-way exchange of data and commands with the communication server 5 through a variety of radio modems 4, the number of which is determined by the number of monitoring objects equipped with units for collecting and transmitting information, and the necessary degree of reliability and efficiency of information transfer.

The communication server 5 transmits commands and receives information simultaneously with a plurality of information collection and transmission units and, according to a predetermined program algorithm, transmits this information via a data transmission network 6 simultaneously to a plurality of personal computers 8 connected to the network and equipped with specialized software. Thus, information about the many objects of vehicles and about the movement of personnel equipped with information collection and transmission units becomes available to many personal computer operators whose location is limited only by the topology of the data transmission network.

In addition to obtaining information about objects equipped with information collection and transmission units, personal computer operators (not shown in FIG. 1) can send commands to information collection and transmission units via a communication server 5, acting on actuating devices connected to an interface unit with executive devices 17.

In addition, the communication server 5 transmits the information received from the plurality of information collection and transmission units, as well as the plurality of personal computers 8, to the data storage and archiving server 7. Thus, information about the plurality of vehicle objects and the movement of personnel for any past period the time stored on the server for storing and archiving data is available for subsequent analysis and processing through a data transfer network 6 for personal computer operators, as well as for subsequent automated comparison of the information enterprise information systems administered by a plurality of personal computers 8.

The map server 9 provides storage and provision, through a data transmission network, of the cartographic information necessary for analyzing the location of vehicles, their routes and the movement of personnel equipped with information collection and transmission units.

Subsequent processing, analysis of data received from the map server and information collection and transmission units, as well as automated comparison with corporate information system information entered through a variety of personal computers, is carried out by specialized software for personal computers 8 and information system servers 10.

The results of the comparison are new knowledge about the objects of control and the processes in which these objects are involved, and which are used to improve the function of control and management of objects. Thus, as can be seen from the description of the above diagram and the explanation of the work, the claimed system for monitoring vehicles and the movement of personnel has high functional efficiency and ease of use with the achievement of a technical result with respect to the process of monitoring vehicles and movement of personnel due to the expanded functionality.

The application of the proposed system will improve functional efficiency and ease of use, increase the efficiency of control of vehicles and staff movement.
