Abstract
The invention relates to a method for detecting traffic status on roads and motorways by means of wireless exchange of traffic data between motor vehicles located in said traffic and a centre, whereby the traffic vehicles are fitted with devices that detect traffic status and their own position in addition to being fitted with a transmitter and receiver device. The aim of the invention is to minimize the amount of information to be emitted by the vehicles with relation to the traffic status of roads and motorways in addition to providing fixed and mobile devices to implement said method. This is achieved by providing the motor vehicles (F) with a traffic route and traffic classification data file (14), whereby a stored, probable time and weekday related traffic status (Vkw) can be obtained therefrom using the vehicles' own position data (St), and said traffic status (Vkw) is compared to the momentary traffic status determined in the vehicle (F). In the case of differences between probable and momentary traffic status, a data set that includes position and momentary traffic classification (Vkm) is transmitted in addition to being received and evaluated by the centre (2).
Description
Verfahren zum Erfassen des Verkehrszustandes auf StraßenMethod for recording traffic conditions on roads
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Erfassen des Verkehrszustandes auf Straßen und Autobahnen und ortsfeste und mobile Einrichtungen zur Durchführung desselben gemäß dem jeweiligen Oberbegriff von Haupt-'und Nebenanspruch. Vorbekannt ist ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren aus der Schrift DE 43 21 437 A1. Zum Erfassen des Verkehrszustandes auf Straßen und Autobahnen mittels individueller Fahrtinformationen erfolgt ein drahtloser Austausch von Verkehrsdaten über Abschnittsbaken zwischen im Verkehr befindlichen Fahrzeugen und einer Zentrale. Durch bei Start der Fahrzeuge erfolgte Angaben von Start- und Zielort, Fahrstrecke und Abfahrtszeit ist der Fahrbereich abgesteckt.The invention relates to a method for detecting the traffic condition on roads and highways and stationary and mobile devices for carrying out the same according to the respective preamble of the main ' and secondary claim. A generic method is previously known from the document DE 43 21 437 A1. In order to record the state of traffic on roads and highways using individual travel information, wireless exchange of traffic data takes place via section beacons between vehicles in traffic and a control center. The driving range is defined by the start and destination, route and time of departure.
Durch periodische Abfrage während der Fahrt erhält die Zentrale von den Fahrzeugen automatisch die an Bord erfaßten und aufbereiteten Daten zum Verkehrszustand im durchfahrenen Bereich. Die Zentrale verarbeitet die eingegangenen Daten zu Ver- kehrszustandsberichten, die funktechnisch bekannt gemacht werden. Nachteilig ist einerseits die Notwendigkeit der Anmeldung von Fahrten mit Angaben zu Start- und Zielort, Fahrstrecke und Abfahrtszeit sowie andererseits die ungenaue Ortung und der Zeitverzug durch das periodische Abfragen der Fahrzeuge zum Erfassen der Verkehrssituation.By periodically polling while the vehicle is traveling, the control center automatically receives from the vehicles the data recorded and processed on board regarding the traffic condition in the area passed through. The head office processes the received data into traffic condition reports, which are made known by radio technology. Disadvantages are, on the one hand, the need to register trips with information on the start and destination, route and departure time, and, on the other hand, the inaccurate location and the time delay due to the periodic polling of the vehicles to record the traffic situation.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es bei einem gattungsgemäßen Verfahren die Menge der von den Fahrzeugen abzugebenden Informationen zum Verkehrszustand der Straßen und Autobahnen zu minimieren und ortsfeste und mobile Einrichtungen zur Durchfüh-rung des Verfahrens zu schaffen.In a generic method, the object of the invention is to minimize the amount of information to be given by the vehicles on the state of traffic of the streets and highways and to provide stationary and mobile devices for carrying out the method.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die im Haupt- und dem Unteranspruch 2 genannten Verfahrensmerkmale erreicht.According to the invention, this is achieved by the method features mentioned in the main and subclaim 2.
Durch die Verwendung einer Verkehrswege- und Verkehrsklassifikationsdatei für positions- bzw. strecken-, zeit- und wochentagebezogene wahrscheinliche Verkehrs-
klassifikationen wird nur bei Abweichungen der momentanen von der wahrscheinlichen Verkehrsklassifikation eine Meldung an die Zentrale notwendig Dies verhindert unnötigen und kostenaufwendigen Datenaustausch zwischen den Fahrzeugen und der Zentrale sowie Verarbeitungsaufwand für Daten, die keine Veränderungen des Verkehrszustandes anzeigenThrough the use of a traffic route and traffic classification file for position-, route-, time- and weekday-related probable traffic Classifications are only required if the current traffic classification deviates from the likely traffic classification. This prevents unnecessary and costly data exchange between the vehicles and the control center, as well as processing costs for data that do not indicate any changes in the traffic condition

Das erfindungsgemaße Verfahren zum Erfassen des Verkehrszustandes ist in Fig 1 schematisch dargestellt und beruht auf dem drahtlosen Austausch von Verkehrsdaten zwischen im Verkehr befindlichen Fahrzeugen F1 - F3 mit einem Fahrzeuggerat 1 zum Erfassen des Fahrzustandes und zum Verarbeiten mit Positions- und Zeitdaten und einer Zentrale 2 mit einer Datenerfassungs-, Auswerte- und Steuereinheit 20 Die Fahrzeuggerate 1 weisen jeweils eine Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit sowie ein Ortungssystem unter Nutzung von Signalen von Satelliten S aufThe method according to the invention for recording the traffic state is shown schematically in FIG. 1 and is based on the wireless exchange of traffic data between vehicles F1-F3 in traffic with a vehicle device 1 for recording the driving state and for processing with position and time data and a control center 2 with a data acquisition, evaluation and control unit 20 The vehicle devices 1 each have a reception and transmission unit and a location system using signals from satellites S.
Als Datenubermittlungssystem 3 zwischen den Fahrzeugen 1 und der Zentrale 2 kann beispielsweise ein Mobilfunknetz mit seinen Sende-, Empfangs- und Ubermittlungs- einnchtungen dienen Einerseits werden von den Fahrzeugen 1 die ortlichen Verkehrsdaten zu Strecken - StX, StY, StZ - und andererseits von der Zentrale 2 Steuerdaten St/Vkg bzw auch individuelle Streckenhinweise an berechtigte Fahrzeuge empfangen bzw gesendetFor example, a mobile radio network with its transmitting, receiving and transmitting devices can serve as the data transmission system 3 between the vehicles 1 and the control center 2. On the one hand, the vehicles 1 provide the local traffic data for routes - StX, StY, StZ - and on the other hand from the control center 2 Control data St / Vkg or individual route information received or sent to authorized vehicles
Weiterhin können von der Zentrale 2 Verkehrsmeldungen über Rundfunksender 4 global oder örtlich spezifiziert verbreitet werden
Die Fahrzeuggerate 1 - siehe Fig 2 - weisen eine Einheit 11 zur Bildung einer momentanen Verkehrsklassifikation Vkm aus den Betriebsdaten des Fahrzeuges auf, die z B in folgender Stufung ausgegeben wird a) freier, b) reger, c) stockender Verkehr, d) StauFurthermore, traffic reports 2 can be broadcast globally or locally by the central station 2 via broadcasting stations 4 The vehicle devices 1 - see FIG. 2 - have a unit 11 for forming a current traffic classification Vkm from the operating data of the vehicle, which is output, for example, in the following grading a) free, b) lively, c) slow traffic, d) traffic jam
Diese Stufungen werden beispielsweise durch erreichte Fahrgeschwindigkeiten in Streckenabschnitten St definiertThese gradations are defined, for example, by driving speeds reached in route sections St.
Weiterhin ist ein Normalzeitgeber 12, der die Tageszeit ggf auch die Wochentage und den Monat ausgibt, und eine GPS-Ortungseinheit 13 vorhanden Daten des Normalzeitgebers 12 - h, WT - und der Ortungseinheit 13 - St - liegen einer Verkehrswege- und Verkehrsklassifikationsdatei 14 an, die im weiteren nur noch als Verkehrsdatei 14 bezeichnet wirdFurthermore, there is a normal timer 12, which possibly also outputs the days of the week and the month, and a GPS location unit 13. Data from the normal timer 12 - h, WT - and the location unit 13 - St - are available from a traffic route and traffic classification file 14, which is hereinafter referred to only as traffic file 14
Diese Verkehrsdatei 14 enthalt auf Strecken, z B StX, und zeitbezogene - h - und ggf wochentagebezogen - WT - gespeicherte, wahrscheinliche Verkehrsklassifikatio- nen Vkw für Verkehrszustande gemäß a bis d, wie sie im Zusammenhang mit der Einheit 11 genannt wurdenThis traffic file 14 contains stored, likely traffic classifications Vkw for traffic conditions according to a to d, as they were called in connection with the unit 11, on routes, for example StX, and time-related - h - and possibly weekdays-related - WT
Diese wahrscheinlichen Verkehrszustande VKw können beispielsweise erfahrungsgemäß, exprimentell oder statistisch gewonnen worden sein und bilden die Grundlage jeweils für die Verkehrsdatei 14 der Fahrzeuge, z B F1 bis F3 , und der Verkehrsdatei 21 , siehe Fig 1 , in der Datenerfassungs-, Auswerte- und Steuereinheit 20 Die Verkehrsdatei 14 ist in den Fahrzeugen F mittels momentaner Standortdaten St und dem anliegenden Zeitsignal des Normalzeitgebers 12 auslesbarThese probable traffic conditions VKw can, for example, have been gained from experience, experimentally or statistically and form the basis for the traffic file 14 of the vehicles, for example F1 to F3, and the traffic file 21, see FIG. 1, in the data acquisition, evaluation and control unit The traffic file 14 can be read out in the vehicles F by means of current location data St and the applied time signal of the normal timer 12
In einer Vergleichsemheit 15, der Signale eines wahrscheinlichen - Vkw - bzw alternativ einer von der Zentrale 2 über das Datenubermittlungssystem 3 gesendeten - Vkg - und des tatsachlichen momentanen Verkehrszustandes Vkm anliegen, wird bei Ungleichheit - Vkw oder Vkg ≠ Vkm - der vorstehenden verglichenen Verkehrszustande ein Datensatz gebildet und über einen Sender 16 des Fahrzeuggerates 1 gesendet Dieser Datensatz enthalt die Strecke, z B StX , und deren momentanen Verkehrszustand Vkm
Um für bereits bei der Zentrale 2 bekannte, von den wahrscheinlichen Verkehrszustand Vkw abweichende Verkehrszustände den Meldeverkehr der Fahrzeuggerät 1 zu unterbinden, ist folgende Anordnung vorhanden.In a comparison unit 15, which receives signals from a probable - Vkw - or alternatively one - Vkg - sent from the control center 2 via the data transmission system 3 and the actual current traffic condition Vkm, the above compared traffic conditions will be present in the event of inequality - Vkw or Vkg ≠ Vkm Data record formed and sent via a transmitter 16 of vehicle device 1. This data record contains the route, for example StX, and its current traffic condition Vkm In order to prevent the traffic of the vehicle device 1 for traffic conditions which are already known at the control center 2 and differ from the likely traffic condition Vkw, the following arrangement is present.
Über den Empfänger 17 werden von der Zentrale 2 gesendete, von dem wahrscheinlichen Verkehrszustand Vkw abweichende Verkehrszustände Vkg von Strecken St empfangen. Bei im Streckenvergleicher und Speicher 18 festgestellter Gleichheit der vom Fahrzeug F gefahrenen und der gemeldeten Strecke St wird das Signal des gesendeten Verkehrszustandes Vkg über eine Vorrangschaltung 19 der Vergleichseinheit 15 anstelle des wahrscheinlichen Verkehrszustandes Vkw angeschaltet. Fahrzeuggeräte 1 melden den momentanen Verkehrszustand für einen solchen Streckenabschnitt St mit gesendeten Verkehrszustand Vkg nur, wenn der momentane Verkehrszustand Vkm von dem gesendeten Verkehrszustand Vkg abweicht.Via the receiver 17, traffic conditions Vkg of routes St sent by the control center 2 and deviating from the likely traffic condition Vkw are received. If the route comparator and the memory 18 determine the equality of the route St traveled by the vehicle F and the reported route St, the signal of the traffic condition Vkg transmitted is switched on via a priority circuit 19 of the comparison unit 15 instead of the probable traffic condition Vkw. Vehicle devices 1 only report the current traffic condition for such a route section St with the traffic condition Vkg being transmitted if the current traffic condition Vkm differs from the traffic condition Vkg being transmitted.
Die Zentrale 2 empfängt und versendet Daten über ein Datenübermittlungssystem 3, siehe Fig. 1. In einer Datenerfassungs-, Auswerte- und Steuereinheit 20 werden die von den Fahrzeuggeräten 1 eingehenden Daten zu Verkehrszuständeπ Vkm von Strecken St mit den wahrscheinlichen Verkehrszuständen Vkw auf diesen Strecken St verglichen. Beispielhaft schematisiert ist der Aufbau der Zentrale 2 als Hardware in Fig. 3 dargestellt.The control center 2 receives and sends data via a data transmission system 3, see FIG. 1. In a data acquisition, evaluation and control unit 20, the data coming in from the vehicle devices 1 on traffic conditions π Vkm from routes St with the probable traffic conditions Vkw on these routes St compared. The structure of the control center 2 as hardware is shown schematically in FIG. 3 as an example.
Die empfangenen Datensätze der Fahrzeuge F1 bis F3 mit dem jeweils momentanen Verkehrszustand Vkm und der jeweiligen Streckenkennung St werden in der Einheit 23 in ihre Datenbestandteile zerlegt. Über die Streckenkennung St wird aus der Verkehrsdatei 21 der wahrscheinliche Verkehrszuzustand Vkw zusammen mit dem Normalzeitsignal (h; WT) aus dem Normalzeitgeber 24 ausgelesen.The received data records of vehicles F1 to F3 with the current traffic condition Vkm and the respective route identifier St are broken down into their data components in unit 23. Via route identifier St, the probable traffic condition Vkw is read from traffic file 21 together with the normal time signal (h; WT) from normal timer 24.
In einer Vergleichseinheit 25, der Signale eines wahrscheinlichen Vkw und des tatsächlichen momentanen Verkehrszustandes Vkm einer Strecke St anliegen, werden Verkehrszustände - Vkw = Vkm - verglichen. Bei Ungleichheit der verglichenen Verkehrszustände - Vkw ≠ Vkm - wird in einer Einheit 26 ein Datensatz VKg/St gebildet, der die Strecke, z.B. StX, und deren momentanen Verkehrszustand Vkm kennzeichnet
und über das Datenübermittlungssystem 3 gesendet und von den Fahrzeuggeräten 1 empfangen wird.Traffic conditions - Vkw = Vkm - are compared in a comparison unit 25 which receives signals from a probable Vkw and the actual current traffic condition Vkm of a route St. If the compared traffic conditions - Vkw ≠ Vkm - are in a unit 26, a data record VKg / St is formed which identifies the route, for example StX, and its current traffic condition Vkm and transmitted via the data transmission system 3 and received by the vehicle devices 1.
Der Datensatz Vkg/St kann weiterhin eine Speicherzeitangabe enthalten, die die Speicherung des Datensatzes im Streckenvergleicher und Speicher 18 zeitlich bestimmt. Gespeicherte Datensätze St/VKg werden gelöscht, sobald der gesendete Verkehrszustand Vkg ungleich des vom Fahrzeuggerät 1 erfaßten momentanen Verkehrszustandes Vkm auf dieser Strecke ist.The data record Vkg / St can also contain a storage time specification which determines the storage of the data record in the route comparator and memory 18. Stored data records St / VKg are deleted as soon as the transmitted traffic condition Vkg is not equal to the current traffic condition Vkm detected by the vehicle device 1 on this route.
Es sei nochmals angemerkt, daß Vergleiche vom momentanen Verkehrszustand mit wahrscheinlichen oder gemeldeten Verkehrszustand ausschließlich strecken- bzw. positionsbezogen erfolgen.
It should be noted again that comparisons of the current traffic condition with the probable or reported traffic condition are made only in relation to the route or position.
