Definitions
- the present invention relates to a traffic guidance system having various means for controlling and securing means of transport and guiding people.
- the present invention also relates to a guidance and safety system with travel safety system.
- the starting point of the problem underlying the invention is the actual state in traffic systems, in particular mass traffic systems, which is characterized by congestion and security problems, as well as large capacity problems.
- the control of transport systems often can not keep up with their growth.
- traffic systems in particular metro and suburban railway systems, daily traffic peaks occur, which can lead to capacity bottlenecks and in some cases system breakdowns.
- passengers only board a subway train in a few places, especially near entrances such as escalators, even though the train has several other doors that are not used. In order to use other doors of the train for boarding, the passenger would have to travel from the escalator a distance along the platform.
- Accurate counting with the fastest possible transmission of results to a control center or to an automatic system is also required if it is necessary to respond to an increased number of passengers as needed, so if, for example, additional trains after the end of a major event (concert, football match) , preferably automatically, to be used. Only the most accurate counting of passengers allows the transport company to work as needed, ie to save excess trains and thereby save costs. It is desirable to be informed as early as possible about an increased passenger volume. Counting automatic driverless mass transit systems also offers the option of using additional trains in a timely manner, without the need for drivers, so that they can react quickly.
- the boarding time in holding mass transport, especially trains can be further shortened and thereby shortening the entire passenger change time can be effected. Consequently, the clock frequency of the vehicles can be increased.
- the occupation of the train is made more uniform, so for example, the existing space and / or the seats better utilized. Shorter downtimes can hold significantly more trains in the station per unit of time, and it can be transported in the station and inflowing people in higher numbers per time or at a higher speed on.
- Non-contact card systems, access controls, etc. are known in the art.
- department stores are known to secure theft-prone or expensive goods by small transmitters or metal receivers, which trigger an alarm when crossing a barrier at the exit of the store if they have not been unlocked upon payment.
- cards are known that are equipped with payment of the access price with a magnetic stripe or a chip. The card shape with the chip o. ⁇ . can thus be used to verify an access authorization, so that even passing the lock is sufficient without direct contact of the card with the reader too require, as it is still required for the magnetic strip.
- Such cards are equipped with a chip or small transmitter, which communicates with the reader via a magnetic field or via radio and releases the access.
- the device also serves to control and in particular to prevent counterfeiting.
- the costs of a mini chip, for example, for Euro notes are currently about 20 cents ( € 0.20). A large number of chips, for example, for every ticket of a transport network in a large city, can reduce these costs even further.
- Block notifications usually refer to vehicles in front, but not to the obstacle clearance of the track, ie the absence of other objects that constitute a safety hazard to the passage. Even the state, safety and obstacle clearance of asphalt or concrete pavements can not yet be automatically reported to individual vehicles. Increasing the security and performance of off-highway notifications is also necessary and desirable for the following reasons. In rail transport are the moving
- the constant scanning of a track by the person of the driver for a long time can also lead to states of habituation and inattention, possibly even to a certain trance (insights from psychology), so that even assuming a quick driving through a (at high speed yet) clear route with eg 350 km / h is still manageable (by human means alone), sufficient security can not be guaranteed.
- One object of the present invention is, inter alia, to provide a control system with which the detection of persons is possible in a person-sharp and timely manner.
- An accurate count of particular passengers in mass transit means to be provided.
- the system should be able to react flexibly to different conditions and, for example, to facilitate the work of rescue services in the event of a disaster.
- objects should be automatically recognizable, especially if they have an influence on the operation and safety of the
- Traffic system can have.
- the object of the invention is to provide a system in which the data of counting, monitoring and observation are preferably evaluated automatically without the intervention of persons and the essential operating and safety functions of the transport system for the purpose of increasing operational safety, personal safety and efficiency of operation are controlled automatically.
- An intervention possibility of responsible persons in the control center should not be excluded, it is preferred that the system but runs without staff.
- the purpose of the invention is to control and secure the traffic system, control with regard to vehicle use, checking with regard to the control of persons (automatic control driving authorization to the prevention of terrorism), granting the security in case of disaster (orientation, guidance and finding of persons due to chip card etc) and check the track in normal operation and disaster.
- the invention is based on the idea to provide the passenger volume-dependent automatic deployment control of vehicles, as well as the camera-based route monitoring.
- Camera-based is also the security monitoring of the construction infrastructure, stops, trains, etc., in conjunction with existing partial detection techniques, e.g. from fires, through intelligent image analysis, but also from criminal behavior in public transport, to dangerous behavior (such as suitcases with explosives, etc.).
- the system includes the aspect of Falirwegêtêt.
- Another purpose of summarizing these various functions is the reusability of data acquisition devices (eg, cameras, sensors, etc.) and data output devices (eg, passenger information displays, loudspeakers, etc.) as well as the use of a backbone for the information technology infrastructure a personnel-saving operation of a traffic system allows as well as various possibilities to its protection offers.
- data acquisition devices eg, cameras, sensors, etc.
- data output devices eg, passenger information displays, loudspeakers, etc.
- the present invention is therefore based on an all-embracing traffic guidance and security system, in particular for complex mass transit means, including automatic passenger counting, security surveillance, eg against fire, crime and terrorism, control of the use of individual components of the traffic system such as vehicles, trains etc., automatic monitoring of the route and information of passengers through a backbone, an electronic-technical backbone are functionally connected to each other.
- the sub-functions of the system which may be wholly or partially integrated into the system and put into operation, preferably use data lines to limit the costs associated with large scale investments in information technology in transport systems.
- control and safety system It should preferably other elements such as access control to means of transport (eg biometrics), tracking paths of passengers, automatic control of evacuation (eg in the event of fire and disaster) from vehicles, trains or the built infrastructure, automatic route monitoring, preventing intrusion of people in operational areas, etc., but also any kind of passenger information as well as advertising, etc. are added to the control and safety system.
- access control to means of transport eg biometrics
- tracking paths of passengers eg in the event of fire and disaster
- evacuation eg in the event of fire and disaster
- automatic route monitoring preventing intrusion of people in operational areas, etc.
- advertising etc.
- the present invention is directed to a passenger compartment and safety parameter-dependent control system, which preferably integrates the functions of passenger line and passenger information, but is also functional without these functions.
- the images and data of high-resolution preferably digital cameras, in particular video cameras, the data of electronic image processing and intelligent, with and without human intervention of succeeding image recognition, the acquired data of movement and action patterns, three-dimensionality in particular parallel locations feed into systems generating electronic instructions on a route of the rail or road infrastructure, but also of waterways, runways, etc., where they are combined with the control of automatic or semi-automatic, driver assisting or driverless vehicles or other means of transport such as magnetic rail vehicles or non-ground based means of transport in order to trigger on these vehicles motion operations which avoid hazards during the journeys of these means of transport, or where they raise the alarm or avoid other hazards.
- An element of the invention is the protection of the track, both in the platform and station area as well as in the track area.
- This task can be done in the platform area by the intelligent processing of digital images (as described below), but also in the area by both the detection of illegally infiltrated persons via transmitters as well as the processing of digital images of the route, the above-described count or trip trigger can also be used to the effect that trips are stopped (emergency braking) when obstacles on the route, preferably automatically detected or by the observation of the route images by persons in the control center can be seen.
- the object of the invention is achieved in accordance with one aspect of the invention by a guidance system, in particular in mass transportation means, which can detect the position of persons and objects in limited spatial areas with detection units, and which can control different routing means in such a way that persons in one desired direction to be directed and transport controlled and controlled. It should also be understood, under the guidance of persons and at least one means of transport within the scope of the invention, that means of transport serving the transport of persons are guided or controlled.
- a traffic guidance system comprises at least one routing means for at least one means of transport and / or for persons, several acquisition units and one central unit.
- the central unit is connected to the detection units and to the conducting means, this can be done via wired or wireless connections.
- the Collection units are designed to determine the number of people who are in a particular area at a particular time.
- the central unit can control the guiding means in such a way that optimal transport of the detected persons out of certain spatial areas or into certain spatial areas is achieved. Means of transport can thus be controlled so that such a desired optimal transport can be achieved.
- the system according to the invention therefore makes it possible, in a very flexible way, to achieve a better utilization of, for example, train stations / platforms, traffic systems and vehicles by realizing a respectively suitable transport capacity (frequency, train length, etc.). As a result, waiting or holding times of means of transport are reduced, the avoidance of congestion makes better use of the corresponding access routes, etc.
- a picture of the whereabouts of persons can be drawn at any given time. which allows users of the system according to the invention to react much more flexibly to a wide variety of situations, which may arise, for example, in a local transport network.
- the invention is generally suitable in any case in which a desired, flexible transport of persons in certain areas is to be achieved.
- the central processing unit be able to control the routing means so as to optimally distribute the detected persons in the given spatial areas and to efficiently and quickly carry them on in traffic systems.
- This allows, especially in large events with high passenger numbers, but also in disasters such as fires, etc., to guide people flows in a desired manner to avoid congestion in certain areas, an existing scrum on a platform So that platforms can be cleared faster, in addition to the present invention used by the system trains can already work off the next storm of people. If the transport operator uses additional trains on different tracks, people can be targeted to these sections. At fairs and the like, the management of a possible number of visitors can be better carried out or accomplished.
- the counting data and the calculations thereof for disposition e.g. additional vehicles or automatically trigger the use of these vehicles.
- vehicles can be automatically removed from the circulation or added at low passenger volumes.
- the detection units comprise vending machines for driving or entrance tickets, whereby the vending machines can determine the position of a person based on the position of the corresponding vending machine when purchasing tickets or tickets. Since ticket vending machines are already part of every transport network, sometimes only installed in train stations, but also in vehicles, it makes sense to use them accordingly. Although the detection of the position is essentially limited to the time of ticket purchase, this simple embodiment of the invention already provides substantial advantages. Position detection may for example also take place by / at: vending machines, locks, as well as by S-receiver devices on escalators and stairs, elevators, in transit corridors and / or train doors.
- the vending machines are equipped with a device, which is able to query biometric features of the traveler.
- the vending machines should preferably be connected to a database by a data line to check whether there may be something against the traveler that might cause the operator to exclude him from the journey.
- Another variant may preferably be that are produced by a central office year, Monats ⁇ or other time cards containing biometric data, and / or issued by a vending machine these cards, the card issuing agency and the vending machine online with a Database can be compared with the biometric data, for example, from relevant known or sought people. Thus, the issue of a card to such a person and thus the use of the transport system can be denied.
- biometric features are fingerprints, iris recognition eg via a built into the screen of the vending machine camera, but also the geometry of the hand and their lines, etc. Since access control to the transport system is preferred, the fingerprint appears the solution, which should preferably be pursued.
- the output card contains both the biometric data eg on a chip (preferred) or magnetic stripe recorded or programmed as well as a kind of "ped", preferably a micro-reader, which scans and uses a biometric feature, advantageously a fingerprint or the structure of a fingertip of mathematical parameters compared with the programmed parameters, ie the non-contact functions (transponder or similar) equipped card at the checkpoint, eg access barrier to the metro or train (barrier device) the access authorization only the person free, which has the same biometric features because they
- the card is touched with the same finger as with the acquisition of the card (see above)
- the control process can be carried out in this way by separating the search of the databases and a time-saving 1: 1 check at the entrance to the means of transport or platform itself that it represents a high level of safety for the transport system without at the same time slowing down the operation.
- a person with a map requires access to the traffic system.
- the device at the checkpoint queries: Does the mathematical parameter of the biometric data on the chip match with the mathematical parameter of the operator's biometry being read? If yes, access is allowed; if not, access is denied.
- the vending machines can determine a validity range or a corresponding destination of a purchased ticket and determine therefrom an expected direction of movement or a probable destination of a ticket purchaser, and the central unit can control the guide means in dependence on this direction of movement.
- the ticket vending machine can easily determine the validity range, such as 2 stations or certain rings of a system divided into rings, when the ticket is issued, and in a more advanced version also the exact destination of a ticket. From this it is possible to draw conclusions about the probable direction in which the corresponding ticket purchaser will move. For example, if a large number of tickets are purchased for a particular destination or range within a certain timeframe, the transport operator may use additional trains to avoid a potential impending congestion. For an estimate, a validity range together with the known position of the respective vending machine is sufficient.
- the system can preferably make the decision automatically, or prepare instructions corresponding to the dispatching personnel.
- a passenger who buys a ticket with a range up to ring 3 at a machine in ring 1 is also expected to drive to the area of ring 3.
- This information can be usefully used to detect expected requirements for a traffic system and to act accordingly.
- the gathering of information about travel wishes and the consequent evaluation of the demand is already state of the art (US 4,092,718), the automatic triggering of driving commands in connection with counting data or a complicated calculation model, the incoming vehicles with regard to their transfer traffic, such as buses Submit passengers at metro stops and others Summarized sources is preferred according to the invention and is offered as a solution to the demand-dependent automatic travel deployment.
- the system according to the invention controls the use of additional trains by automatic or driverless systems, in particular by recommendation to dispatcher or automatic triggering of driving commands for additional trains and automatic introduction of the same in the transport system / transport network.
- the combination serves to achieve an optimal goal in the sense of the purpose of the present traffic control and security system. This is the optimal use of the built and existing infrastructure in terms of maximizing performance with the existing structures
- the detection units comprise access control devices, and that the access control devices can determine the position of a person based on the position of a traversed access control device.
- access control devices are already frequently present in railway stations and the like or can be retrofitted simply and inexpensively, such as light barriers, rotary barriers, electrically operated doors and the like. From the position of a corresponding access control device, the position of the corresponding person can be determined at the time of a passage. In particular, it is preferred to design the system beyond the usual technical state of access barriers so that a person not desired in the traffic system is denied access for security reasons.
- the access control devices can further determine the direction of passage through the corresponding access control device, and the central unit can control the routing means in dependence on this passage direction.
- the detection units comprise image recording devices, wherein the image recording devices can determine the position and / or speed of a person or a person carried object within the detection range of the corresponding image recording devices, and the central unit determines the guidance means in dependence on that position or speed can control.
- the image recording devices can determine the position and / or speed of a person or a person carried object within the detection range of the corresponding image recording devices
- the central unit determines the guidance means in dependence on that position or speed can control.
- the image recording devices are preferably also combined with recognition systems which make it possible to recognize a person or to filter a searched person out of the stream of people.
- the detection units comprise a plurality of personal transmitters are each intended to be carried by a person, each transmitter can transmit an identifier, and a plurality of receiving means for receiving the identifiers of the transmitter, and that the receiving means can determine the position of a person due to a reception of identifiers.
- This allows a non-contact detection of the position of persons, with regard to (local and in particular temporal) accuracy beyond the above variants.
- the position can be determined at any time, not only when crossing a barrier or when buying a ticket. This achieves an even more accurate response to changes in the conditions in a traffic system or the like.
- the transmitters are integrated in a driving or entrance ticket. Since such maps have to be purchased by passengers or visitors, the integration in these maps is naturally preferred.
- the card has biometric data of a carrier.
- Both personal and non-personal cards may contain a so-called “peddler” or box on which biometric information is stored upon purchase, preferably a fingerprint, such as when withdrawing a ticket from a vending machine whenever required, the stored biometric information must be the same as that of the carrier of the card as when buying / receiving it, which is particularly advantageous when between buying the right to use the means of transport and getting on the means of transport itself, eg A train or platform door, but also when boarding a ground or non-grounded means of transport, a re-checking the identity of the traveler is to be made.
- the possible combination in the ticket with the query biometric features is already described above (fast access control for metro systems) and is be It is shown separately in Fig. 8 graphically.
- the receiving devices due to a change in the position of a transmitter, determine the direction of movement of a person, and the central unit Control means depending on the direction of movement can control.
- the advantages of determining the direction of movement have already been mentioned, but the detection with the aid of the transmitters enables a much more accurate detection than in the variants described above.
- the receiving devices can determine the speed of a person relative to one or more receiving devices due to a change in the position of a transmitter, and the central unit can control the conducting means in dependence on the speed.
- the determination of the speed together with the known direction, enables the recognition of certain situations and early intervention of the system. If, for example, it is recognized that a large number of people are entering a railway station that is moving rapidly towards a specific track, elevators, escalators, etc. can be switched in such a way that scrambling is avoided as far as possible.
- it can be determined on the basis of the speed when the people will reach the platform, so that provision of additional trains, etc., can take place as quickly as possible. This happens according to the invention automatically.
- the software required for this purpose must be adapted to the respective structural infrastructure. According to the invention, it is preferred to follow the described principle.
- the provision of the additional trains preferably takes place automatically.
- the data obtained from the system according to the invention are transmitted to the control of the traffic system, where they give recommendations to give drivers or an automatic and driverless system driving commands to the control personnel or preferably automatically and automatically trigger appropriate driving commands driverless trains.
- the identifier of the personal sender has a unique identification of a person. This is especially intended for tickets such as non-transferable monthly or annual tickets.
- the authorization of a carrier of the corresponding card can then be checked.
- the identification may be arranged in accordance with the present privacy policy or other requirements of the operator, such that only corresponding locations from the identification can determine the owner of the card (customer number at the transport operator or the like).
- the personalized driving authorization also helps to reduce crime, insecurity, vandalism, etc. in public transport systems - problems that will greatly affect both the recognition of the transport system as well as the subjectiveeredempfmden.
- the identifier of the personal transmitter has validation information, the validity information indicating a permitted time period, a permitted spatial area or a travel range or distance. This will be particularly useful to note on the map, for example, the month in which the ticket is valid, together with about the area in which rides are allowed. As a result, it can be determined without contact, which validity has a card detected by the system.
- the transmission of information may be through technologies such as transponders etc., which
- the central unit controls the routing means so that persons are directed away from an unauthorized spatial area. This is especially useful for a kind of access control, such as the blocking of a stadium area, after the maximum number of visitors entered the area. From this point on, you can then use the routing tool to indicate that this area is busy, and then redirect visitors to other areas that are still free.
- control commands for lighting systems or scoreboards of any kind are generated, as well as the automatic generation of loudspeaker announcements or instructions to persons who are to make announcements in the conventional, manual way.
- control commands for lighting systems or scoreboards of any kind are generated, as well as the automatic generation of loudspeaker announcements or instructions to persons who are to make announcements in the conventional, manual way.
- the above-mentioned characteristics for securing public space and traffic systems contribute to terrorist attacks.
- the receiving devices can detect an exceeding of the time span, the driving range or distance or an entry into an unauthorized spatial area, and the central unit can issue a message about the occurred overshoot. This allows for detecting black drivers in a rail vehicle, as well as those who may have accidentally or intentionally entered a restricted area. The operator of the system can then respond appropriately. It is further preferred that the control system according to the invention automatically triggers alarm and / or initiates action.
- the central unit of position, speed and / or direction of movement can determine a movement pattern of persons, and because of this
- Unusual or problematic known movement patterns can be detected early and by means of the control can be reacted to or alarm triggered. For example, if a large amount of people are not or only slowly moving in the direction of an incoming train, but a single person moves very quickly to the train, then this could be about one
- the system for example, automatically controls a train occupied by passengers, if necessary, so that it no longer enters a station in which a suitcase has been found individually by the video system or other alarm reasons prevail.
- the conducting means comprise optical guiding means, acoustic conducting means, blocking means, escalators, conveyor belts, elevators or control means for
- Optical guiding means may be, for example, variable illuminated signs, signal lights and the like. These include traffic lights, both for vehicles and people. Acoustic conductives are usually used
- Speakers and the like are also included. Also included are speaker systems with automatic announcements stored on passenger information computers or elsewhere. Under shut-off and release means are controllable barriers, e.g.
- Railbound vehicles are of course preferred because they are most easily steered in a desired direction, such as by setting switches.
- the system may be incorporated in or to the control of automatic train systems, it may be designed to intervene in train control or traffic control,
- "dispatching" ie the management of trains and means of transport, including the use of trains for the length of the trains or the size of the means of transport, the frequency, the lines and directions used, and the destination of the train
- trains are rail-bound above or below ground railways such as metros or trams to understand, but the invention can also be used in conjunction with buses and other vehicles. It can also be used to facilitate the management of people and to improve safety, for example in airports.
- the traffic control system is designed so that a data communication with the control of the means of transport takes place so that, if required, means of transport per unit of time can be added or removed from the system. Furthermore, it is preferred that the traffic control system with automatic control of the means of transport can perform this reinforcement or reduction automatically (without the intervention of persons).
- a control and safety system for complex traffic systems which comprise route sections with traffic routes, means of transport thereon and access means for this purpose.
- the control and safety system includes

- Ticket machines 40 are placed in the station. Ticket machines 40 may of course also be mounted in a vehicle, ie subway train or the like (not shown).
- the guidance system can recognize that a person is in the area of this vending machine.
- the passenger wants to go This can be done with varying accuracy, depending on the information from the ticket.
- these would be, for example, a driving range, such as 3 rings, 4 stations, or an area (tariff zone).
- the ticket could be more specific, ie specify the destination explicitly.
- the system may conclude from this trip target data that the passenger is likely to want to go to a location that is more or less accurately known depending on the type of trip target data.
- the prior art US 4,092,718 does so in part for non-track guided vehicles, where the generated instructions there go to the drivers of the vehicles but do not trigger or control automatic driverless trips can.

- the access control devices 42 are preferably arranged in the region of doors, escalator accesses, etc. This can be achieved for example with light barriers, but also other devices, such as light panels that are covered by people walking above it, so that light sensors in the ceiling measure the obscuration and can infer the number of people.
- infrared sensors motion detectors, photoelectric sensors, counting sensors, a computer-controlled video image analysis of surveillance cameras or cameras specially installed for this purpose (video image abstraction, etc.) can be used to obtain this information.
- the direction, ie whether a person walks into or leaves the station, can be achieved by means of appropriate access controls (double-light barriers, one-way barriers and the like). Possessing a person's registration is possible with suitable devices, for example using personalized tickets with RFID chips.
- access controls may also include such devices which are not primarily for access control, for example devices intended to detect a transfer of persons between different sections of the same platform, in addition to devices incorporating the Enter the station. For simplicity, such devices are summarized under the term access controls.
- Such devices, such as photoelectric sensors can be conveniently purchased and installed, the location can be chosen very flexible, and passenger flows are thereby hindered in any way.
- the automatic evaluation (by image processing, abstraction, etc.) of video images should preferably be used for data acquisition. Cameras and data lines are due to increased surveillance and the need for it in transport facilities anyway. In this case, both the infrastructure, so the buildings for filling and emptying the means of transport as well as the means of transport itself monitoring devices that are simultaneously counting and hazard detection facilities have, with the timely (online) transmission via wireless interfaces, infrared interfaces, wireless LAN or similar transmission technologies Part of the system shown here are. Another possibility for access control devices, which however represent a greater or lesser impediment to large flows of people, would be barrier-like devices or doors that open only after the introduction of a valid ticket for the passenger.
- shut-off / release devices offer a more precise control option for the transport operator (shut-off of stations after business hours, etc.).
- certain smart card systems and touchless systems are state of the art, which may also be able to detect the cardholder's direction of movement, and may be due to multiple sensors in the room, ie, the geometric arrangement of receivers and the movement of the respective transmitter in relation to generating a detection of the direction of movement and the generation of a corresponding data pulse, which conveys this direction to the controller of the system.
- the system preferably deviates from the prior art, in particular For example, US 4,092,718, its data required for the functions of the invention independently from the intervention of the passengers themselves to be functional inputs from passengers in machines, if they are known in the art, but additionally useful if they are useful for the function O which can refine the functional results.
- FIG. 1 A particularly preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention in a railway station is shown in FIG.
- the station has a lounge area 10, so about a lobby, and the platform 12. From the outside doors 34 right and left lead to the station. Passengers are shown as circles 2. From the vestibule 10 lead three escalators 6 on the platform 12.
- Several receiving devices 44 are placed in the station distributed to receive the signals from the passengers 2 carried transmitter (not shown). Of course, receiving devices 44 may also be mounted in a vehicle, ie subway train or the like (not shown).
- the (limited) reception areas of the reception devices 44 which can overlap more or less, form a kind of cell system comparable to the mobile radio systems.
- the position of a passenger's personal transmitter can be more or less accurately determined as required (staying in a cell or determining the position by measuring the reception strength of the signal in multiple cells).
- a large number of persons 2 enter the station, which is shown on the right side. The system will detect this large number and their direction of movement, concluding that people want to get on the platform, and taking action so that passengers do not all get into the right area of the platform.
- the right escalator 6 can be switched off or at least greatly slowed or even driven in the opposite direction, while the middle is driven at the highest speed. This prevents many or even all passengers from accessing the platform 12 via the right escalator 6 and possibly overfilling this area. Thus, a better distribution of people on the platform is achieved. If, in the case shown, a crowded train enters at the same time, then the problem continues to separate the passengers getting off as possible from those who want to get in, in order to avoid a crowding and therefore a loss of time.
- the left-hand escalator 6 can be driven in the direction from the platform 12 to the vestibule 10, and with optical and / or acoustic guidance means (not here) 4 and 5), the departing passengers can be directed towards the left exit of the station. This effectively prevents a collision between boarding and boarding passengers, allowing the train to leave faster and carrying a larger number of passengers in the same amount of time.
- the system comprises a plurality of transmitters 32, here integrated in two different items (ticket or name badge), a plurality of receiving devices 44, and a central processing unit 20.
- the central processing unit 20 is connected to the receiving devices 44.
- Various guiding elements may be connected to the central unit 20; in the example shown here, these are visual indicating means, such as a controllable display panel 24, acoustic conducting means 26, such as a piercing speaker, and mechanical shut-off elements 28, e.g. electrically controlled passage or elevator doors or a lockable passage barrier, and in particular control means 60 for means of transport, so for example the controllable switches and / or signaling devices of a subway rail system.
- the transmitters 32 may be RFID chips.
- the receiving devices 44 usually also have a transmitting capability to activate the usually passive RFID chips so that they send out their corresponding identifier.
- the connection of the central unit 20 to the receiving devices 44 and guide means 24, 26, 28 can be both wired and wireless. According to the invention, the corresponding vehicle capacities in the required length, room capacity and travel frequency are supplied via the central computer.
- the system shown offers many possibilities to guide and direct people or streams of people. In the following, this is described for a train or subway system, but many other applications are considered, such as other mass transit means,
- Illuminated signs and loudspeaker announcements enable passengers to be directed to the shortest traffic routes to this location.
- An optimal, ie as uniform as possible occupation of the trains can be achieved with the system.
- the escalators can be controlled to achieve a desired passenger flow or distribution.
- the front Balinsieres Scheme is already crowded, the system will recognize this, and for example, turn off the leading to this area escalator or run in the opposite direction. This will cause the passengers to use the other two escalators, and further overfilling of the front platform area is effectively prevented.
- both direction can be reversed to prevent too many people from using the tape in an undesirable direction, as well as adjusting the speed of these devices. If an area should be cleared quickly, for example because a fully occupied train arrived, or an evacuation is to take place, the means of transport can be accelerated. If, on the other hand, an already existing overcrowding of a section is not further intensified, the means of transport can be slowed down so that people are given time to distribute themselves more evenly.
- the entire capacity management of a complex traffic system is automatically carried out or the responsible persons responsible effectively and quickly supported (see also FIGS. 6 and 10).
- FIG. 5 illustrates a situation in which the system according to the invention can help to achieve an even distribution of passengers on a platform 12 and in a train 14.
- the train 14 is already well occupied in the first car, and further a large number of passengers 2 are ready to board this area.
- the system of the invention now recognizes this condition and switches the escalator leading to the overcrowded area in the running direction to the station area 10, ie away from the platform 12.
- the persons walking in the station area 10 in the direction of the train and usually just the at The next escalator would therefore be routed in this way to use the other escalator leading to platform 12.
- dashed arrows the desired direction of movement of the passengers is indicated.
- the desired effect is not only caused by the direction of the escalators, the passengers should continue to be directed according to the invention with optical and acoustic guiding means 24, 26 in the desired direction. So above all, for example, by variably controllable signs or billboards, but optionally also by corresponding automatic loudspeaker announcements.
- Visually impaired persons can also be taken into account, eg such persons can be shown the path in a certain direction analogously to the traffic lights equipped with acoustic signal transmitters.
- the entrance to an escalator may be equipped with it to prevent a visually impaired person from erroneously entering an escalator traveling in the wrong direction.
- a visually impaired person may be provided with a corresponding identifier on their personal ticket so that the system recognizes when the person is approaching a wrongly running staircase etc.
- Fig. 6 illustrates in an overall scheme a preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention. In this figure, a combination of various individual components is shown, which have already been described. Fig. 6 shows how a variety of individual measures can be combined to form an overall system for collecting the data obtained from the count 110 along with additional information such as video surveillance 54 / computerized image processing 56 for monitoring 118, line 112, 114 of persons and Control 106, 76, 78 of means of transport 14 by a central unit 20 to use. The control is carried out via the central unit 20, by means of a control means 60.
- Reference numeral 112 represents sectoral guidance commands (to passengers) at the station, while 114 represents sectorial guidance commands within the vehicles. Such sectoral guidance commands may be given by means of automatic loudspeaker announcements, pictures, controlled colored floors, ceilings, walls, etc., by the use of light (curtains), train destination indicators ZZA and other displays.
- the central unit 20 also controls escalators / belts and elevators, 102, as well as platform doors, 104 because of the incoming data.
- the dashed lines represent the safety-relevant functions that can trigger alarms in problematic situations, 116 and which technical infrastructure of the control functions allowed to use.
- Images and recordings of the video surveillance are fed to the dispatching center or to a central control center, 108.
- Monitoring 118 can then take place automatically, but also by personnel.
- the count 110 takes place in this diagram at entrance areas by means of access control devices 42, also in vehicles 14, such as video surveillance 54, but preferably also by the wandering of the transmitter in the tickets 58 through the system, b), or when buying a ticket 58 at one Automata, a).
- Constant feedback 100 constantly monitors the effect of a measure in the system. Not shown here is that of course an intervention personnel, into the system, so in particular the central unit 20, can be maintained.
- FIGS. 7a, 7b and 7c three variants of the guidance of persons on a platform are shown. In this case, especially the leadership of people is shown to achieve optimal occupation of vehicles.
- people should be guided in such a way that they preferentially go into less heavily occupied vehicle parts.
- Fig. 7a this is done by appropriate displays, such as illuminated signs, or displays of the various technologies, e.g. LED, LCD, TFT, plasma, etc. reached.
- Fig. 7b shows this provided in the ground light fields, either by shape (arrow / bar) or by different colored fields (such as red / green).
- Fig. 7c illustrates the use of light curtains for this purpose, such as through different colored light curtains or the targeted E ⁇ WAusvolution individual segments.
- the light curtains can occur linearly at the edge of the platform or even illuminate a certain area of the platform from above or diagonally above.
- Fig. 8 shows how a ticket for the system according to the invention may be equipped with a magnetic stripe 50 and a "ped" 52.
- the pedestal 52 serves to receive a fingerprint of the purchaser of the card so that these biometric data can be checked later, that is, whether the carrier is also the original purchaser of the card, for example, by causing the purchaser to place his thumb in "ped" 52 when operating the ticket.
- the magnetic strip 50 can be used for recording various data, it is of a conventional type and therefore will not be described further.
- the function according to the invention of the 1: 1 matching in the map and the access authorization given therewith, ie, for example, unlocking a barrier or person separating device, can also take place without contact, eg with transponder technology, radio etc.
- Fig. 9 shows a typical deployment situation of the system according to the invention for guiding the passengers at a platform to achieve optimum occupancy of vehicles and reduced holding times.
- acoustic means are shown, but they may also be optical means or a combination of both.
- FIG. 10 shows an aspect of the system according to the invention.
- the results of the automatic passenger counting 110 are processed as an essential element in the computer unit 20 in order to be coupled via the traffic-dependent dispatcher function 120 to the system control automatic driving 60 (subsumed in the description of the other figures under "Leitffen") and to commands respectively To initiate control commands to the automatic system and train control.
- the core system in the series 110, 20, 120, 60 is made more efficient by combined subsystems (this may also include the personal guidance system according to EP 941527 Bl), even if it is functional without them.
- the security of the traffic system can be drastically increased, which is especially preferred in view of the threats of public mass transit systems.
- New in the sense of the invention is the aspect of the automatic monitoring of the stations and trains (inter alia via known electronic detection systems of the intelligent processing of digital camera images), and preferably the combination of these recognition instruments with the train control.
- Counting data can also be used for billing, both as distance-dependent Billing in conjunction with biometric card systems 58 with a suitable output terminal 121 to the passengers / passengers, as well as among the operators of the transport itself, if several companies offer the service of the transport system - economic independently - respectively operate (billing software for fares revenue distribution 122).
- Video images may be recorded for law enforcement, law enforcement, and study purposes (law enforcement records and for future planning 123) - deletion after a certain period of time may be indicated by law (124).
- Maps and biometrics can also increase security or deny access to them (121 in conjunction with 58) for certain people (such as suspects in a terrorist environment).
- Passenger guidance systems acc. EP 0 941 527 B1 can also be coupled to the system according to the invention (this includes routing means such as 112 and 114), such as passenger information systems (125), where a separate position determination may also be sufficient (eg via GPS 126) like that of the train control system (cf. 60).
- the train control system (60) is directly connected to the (automatic) dispatching system 120, it can be combined with it without any human intervention, provided the technical supervisory authorities agree.
- the system according to the invention can be designed for the whole system in the case of a large, especially track-guided traffic system, but also only for one (for example heavily frequented) part.
- log-in areas are provided in the system in which the driver of a train or even an automatic driverless train logs into the system or logs it out again (127).
- Both the biometrics control card output 121 and the passenger information system 125 are connected to, or even automatically control, the passenger quality of service system 128, the information paths from the ticket machines 121 being bi-directional, and information from the operator Passenger Information System 125 may appear not only on large displays at the station and in the trains, but also in the display of the machine already and so may affect the choice of destination for the benefit of the passenger.
- the invention allows the traffic operator at any time to get an overview of the current load of the interconnected system with passengers, and to take measures to remedy or premature failure, congestion, etc., so to provide or automatically trigger the use of additional trains, and in general
- the control of vehicles can be intervened directly by the system, so that additional (driverless) trains can automatically be introduced into the traffic network, for example. If this is required, however, interventions can also be provided for vehicles that are not fully automatic, for example automatic braking when an imminent danger situation is detected, but it may also be sufficient to inform the driver of the dangerous situation in good time.
- each passenger receives a sender or chip integrated in the card with the ride ticket, be it an annual, monthly, weekly or day pass or a multi-trip or single ticket.
- the transmitter can be integrated into a plastic card or integrated as a wire unit in a printable firmer card. Other materials are conceivable, if they are useful for the function.
- the transmitter be integrated into comparable cards or other compassionate items, such as access cards, name badges and the like.
- the contained identifier of the transmitter must in any case be unique within a system in order to allow a person-count. It is possible to equip the transmitter with an identification that allows a conclusion on the carrier.
- An unambiguous assignment would be conceivable, for example, by means of a customer number at the corresponding traffic operation, in the case of (non-transferable) subscription tickets. The same can be used for season tickets / seasonal tickets for zoos, amusement parks, stadiums etc.
- the carrier would be identifiable only by the respective operator, third parties would have no possibility of identification.
- Unique identifiers may be used that allow identification, such as badge numbers or the name of the carrier. The identification can be interpreted according to existing or future data protection regulations. A person-counting is possible in any case.
- Each ticket issued - even for just one trip - receives a small transmitter (the costs are extremely low for large quantities).
- One-trip tickets can also be recovered when leaving the means of transport, multi-trip tickets when leaving z. B. the underground station (lock area) after the last trip, i. when the validity expires. This is already state of the art in today's subway London subway system. Such an approach thus allows the reuse of more expensive in the purchase cards with their transmitters, pads, etc., which can be reprogrammed again and again.
- the system according to the invention comprises a large number of personal transmitters (for example in the form of "smart cards"). This is the users of the personal transmitters (for example in the form of "smart cards"). This is the users of the personal transmitters (for example in the form of "smart cards"). This is the users of the personal transmitters (for example in the form of "smart cards"). This is the users of the personal transmitters (for example in the form of "smart cards"). This is the users of the
- Transmitter can be used in conjunction with the receiving devices used for accurate location of people, this can optionally be done either "anonymized” or personalized.
- the data (number of people, whereabouts), which are determined by the use of Personal transmitter can be detected, are evaluated for a variety of functions of the traffic control system and used to allow an adaptation of the control system to a variety of conditions in a timely manner.
- the transmitters serve the automatic capacity planning and release in the traffic system as well as for the safety.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a system which optimally combines the above-mentioned applications, is inexpensive to manufacture and to acquire, and offers a high degree of accuracy.
- it is associated with the ticket purchase or the like or even forms a unit with it.
- it is used to collect passenger numbers for purposes of inspection, safety, billing, vehicle scheduling and the determination of input data for controlling the traffic system.
- the location of the transmitter carried by each person can be determined by means of receiver devices installed in vehicles and rooms and visualized by means of a computer program and used for further purposes.
- Such a system can be used for counting at the entrance to a metro station, but also at the exit, it can be used to overturn the fare when driving too far (eg when a passenger leaves the area for which the ticket is valid), but also to count the persons on a platform, on a train door or in a train part, as well as for drawing a precise picture of the whereabouts of persons on a platform or in a vehicle. It enables the operator to track or track passenger flows, and at any given time records a picture of the time and place people are in the system.
- Accurate detection of the number of people, for example, in a particular bleachers area of a sports stadium, or in the cloakroom, VIP or other area, can also be guaranteed. This can be used, among other things, to prevent more people from staying in a particular area than is tolerable for fire protection (concert hall) or static (football grandstand) reasons.
- the survey can also be personalized for personalized cards, but it can also run non-personalized.
- a data filtering as it may be required by the data protection, can be pre-, Nach- or switched on. It is in any case necessary that each card or each transmitter is individual in that a differentiation of different persons is possible.
- a personalization in which personal data can be called up by the sender (customer number, etc.) is optionally possible.
- For time cards it is necessary to encode the cards in such a way that an assignment to the time periods of the validity is possible via the identifier. That to determine if a passenger has a valid or expired ticket. For this purpose, a date-related identifier can be used.
- data in particular personal data
- data after be deleted in accordance with the legal provisions applicable in the area of the transport operator, if necessary in accordance with supraregional or international agreements. Compliance is to be ensured by the operator - if necessary, the technical possibilities may exceed the application possibilities from a legal point of view, or all technical possibilities are exhausted only in special cases or with special occurrences.
- a vehicle such as a subway train
- the location is also known. This information may be of importance, such as in the event of a power outage, a tunnel fire or a terrorist attack.
- the addition of a location of a vehicle is required, since the receiving devices may be located, inter alia, in a train that changes its position when driving.
- the position determination is necessary with respect to the receiving devices, but in addition the information on where the corresponding train resides. With this combined information, the position of the passengers is then known as a whole.
- the position of a train can be done by known means.
- the location determination can be refined, e.g. by dividing the rail system into correspondingly small sections and detecting when a particular train is in a particular section and in which direction it is traveling.
- Space can be achieved in individual trains. Indirectly, it will also be a better one Infrastructure utilization guaranteed.
- the passengers can be directed with the elements of the guidance system to the other, less frequented doors.
- the system can register the increased passenger volume and automatically cause more trains to hold up, moreover, the increased passenger flow can be conducted in advance so that strong crowding can be avoided in. Since the passengers are preferred already detected so early (ie, already at the station entrance or forecourt) that take a few minutes until they are ready to board the platform, more trains can be provided during this time, so that the higher number of people as quickly as possible can be transported to the station.
- the passengers are informed about the use of additional trains, so they refrain from necessarily take the first train.
- An optional option is to switch escalators, elevators, etc. in such a way that the flow of persons increased in one direction at short notice can be dissipated without interference. This means that each one escalator for the inflow and outflow from the platform will switch both for access to the platform at short notice if the system recognizes that many people are walking towards the platform while no or only a few are leaving the platform.
- the invention can be used to recognize too high occupancy of a tribune, so that appropriate measures against impending design failure, in extreme cases, even collapses can be taken , The same applies to traffic structures.
- the system can prevent people from accidentally entering the danger zone by using the elements of the control system, ie warnings on illuminated signs, audible alarms, mechanical barriers at endangered areas, etc
- the flow of people can be specifically directed so that it comes as possible to no stagnation and a sufficient safety distance to fire is observed.
- Rescue workers are provided with additional information For example, if there are still people in a particular area. If a particular transmitter is located within a danger area that does not move, it can be used to identify a helpless person and action can be taken. It is preferred that in case of fire it can be checked whether all have left the building or are in safe areas.
- Camera locations can be: on and in the vehicle along the route and in its surroundings at locations with a high overview (for example, satellites).
- Images of the route or of the infrastructure are monitored with intelligent processing (eg image processing) for sudden and conspicuous changes a) before the start of operation and / or after the end of operation (in rail-bound systems) by a slow vehicle, in particular checking for quality changes of the route, eg Deformations, cracks, etc. b) during operation, in particular check for obstacles of any kind a certain period before and (eg with camera on board) immediately before passing the Track section at high speed.
- intelligent processing eg image processing for sudden and conspicuous changes a) before the start of operation and / or after the end of operation (in rail-bound systems) by a slow vehicle, in particular checking for quality changes of the route, eg Deformations, cracks, etc.
- b) during operation in particular check for obstacles of any kind a certain period before and (eg with camera on board) immediately before passing the Track section at high speed.
- a differentiation of image processing is desirable because changes also occur through daylight, brightness, darkness, shadows, driving rain, snowflakes.
- a moving image of the Switzerlandspitze / vehicle top, one or more images of the distance from the outside, laterally or laterally from above, before and with passing train, and possibly a satellite image are blended together by intelligent image processing - the result is analogous to the already described person monitoring ( eg in the station) to the central computer.
- Track monitoring includes according to the invention, for example
- Access control can be supplemented possibly by X-ray devices, explosives detectors etc.
- the parameters to be monitored are: Intrusion, ie unauthorized entry by persons or other living beings
- FIG. 11 shows this subsystem according to the invention for monitoring described above, using the example of the camera location satellite.
- the scheme also applies to other camera locations, both for mobile locations and a variety of consecutively combined locations.
- a vehicle 11.1 in the example shown here a train, is located on and drive through a route 11.2., Also track, in the example shown here a rail track, but also magnetic train, road, highway, preferably with a defined course or track. Remote from the route, but this overlooking cameras 11.4., For example, on a satellite 11.3., Are in constant data contact 11.19 with the vehicle. The cameras 11.4. one transmitter eg satellite 11.3. transmits the data 11.6. (54) the 11.5 to be traveled by the vehicle in the near future route to the central computer 20, this being an automatic intelligent image processing 11.7. (56) incorporated or upstream of it.
- the image processing is linked to a location determination 11.9, eg GPS, but also conceivable train number reporting systems such as known in rail traffic or other means for the precise location of vehicles in real time.
- the image processing and the computer intelligence behind it allows the automatic detection of obstacles 11.8, wherein preferably also a constant comparison of the actual situation found by the continuous camera observation takes place with the desired situation, so that changes are recognized immediately.
- the data situation and its processing results lead in the event of a fault in the infrastructure to a reaction 11.11., For example, emergency braking at obstacles, as well as the triggering of alarm 11.12 to the operations center or control station 11.13.
- Control commands 11.14 which influence or control the automatic train control 11.15 (60) are generated automatically or by the intervention of person decisions in the control center.
- Fig. 12 shows a further embodiment, which explains how filling levels of trains can be communicated to the passengers and so a corresponding behavior can be achieved on heavily filled platforms.
- Draw length and train position indicators (in one) as in Fig. 12a mark the prior art. 12.1 describes a long train, 12.2 a train and 12.3 a short train. 12.4. means that the position of 12.2. and 12.3.
- Fig. 12 b shows preferred alternatives of the representation of the train position, which can be used according to the invention for the efficient handling of the passenger change in the station.
- Their advantage lies in the fact that the passenger to be expected in the incoming train expected degree of filling or the distribution of passengers in each car is informative, without giving him a compulsory recommendation. This is psychologically better and shows advantages in the invention where it is necessary to call on the participation of the passengers to be transported.
- 12.5. describes a graphical indication of the degree of filling according to the single train, 12.6. describes the degree of filling as accurate as a single train can consist of several cars (theoretically, the can go up to "door sharp"), 12.7. indicates the respective% of the filling. If the distribution is unequal in a short train or single train, the% number can be given on average (12.8.), Which is a variant that is less efficient in the sense of the invention.
- Fig. 13 describes the various functions of the system according to the invention in their context and summarizes individual aspects of the functional links for the purpose of improving the efficiency and safety of transport systems, in particular mass transport systems.
- an automatic counting of passengers 13.1. in a system. This via a biometric map system 13.8. or via video surveillance with intelligent image analysis 13.6. It is only one of the preferred options, besides there are infrared, photoelectric, brightness and weight comparisons, etc.
- the passenger line can be controlled via the automatic counting for efficient passenger distribution and passenger information, with parts this feature except for data collection over 13.6 and 13.8. in EP 941 527 are already disclosed. This single already known strand, which can be integrated into the invention, is 13.3. designated.
- One aspect of the invention is that the knowledge gained about the number and distribution of passengers in the traffic system 13.1. also influence on automatic train control 13.4 and influence on vehicle operation control 13.5. is taken. Insights from video surveillance combined with intelligent image processing 13.6. Are also used to influence train control (see FIG. 11) and mission planning (see FIG. 6), i. Actions of elements 13.4 and 13.5. which have a positive effect on the operation of vehicles in the system, preferably train operation, to improve efficiency and safety. In addition, the elements 13.8. and 13.6. also alarm and safety functions 13.7. in particular, when there is a disruption to the operation of the traffic system or if objects or persons enter the system that could pose a safety risk. 13.6. and 13.8. communicate for this purpose preferably with an (external) database 13.9., For example, holds the biometric data of wanted persons that you do not want to have in the system to avoid security risks.
- Alarm is triggered 13.7. or vehicle deployment planning 13.5. increases or decreases the number of vehicles per unit of time or the number of parts of the vehicles (eg longer train) or changes the line, deletes stops, etc., this is also in addition to the functions disclosed in EP 941 527 and in addition to possible other functions the passenger information system communicated (links 13.10).
- the transmitter for data filling of the guidance system according to the invention can be contained in various objects that are felt by corresponding persons. These include driving and entrance tickets, access cards, name badges and the like. As a carrier plastic cards or cards made of solid cardboard are suitable, the transmitter can be integrated therein according to known techniques or mounted on it. As a transmitter, so-called RFID chips, ie Radio readable labels are used. These will usually be passive transmitters that do not require their own power supply, but the invention is not limited to passive transmitters. Moreover, as described above, according to the invention, the detection of objects and persons in the system that do not carry a transmitter is included in the system.
- the accuracy of a location determination of a transmitter or of a transmitter-less object / person in the system according to the invention depends inter alia on the type of reception areas. For substantially non-overlapping coverage areas (or even cells), location will be limited to determining the station's presence in certain areas corresponding to the coverage areas. Therefore, in this case, the accuracy will depend directly on the size and number of receiving areas. In overlapping coverage areas known ⁇ techniken- analog can be used in mobile networks to, especially on the basis of received signal strength of a transmitter to the position of the transmitter to detect more accurately.
- all or at least most of the escalators can be switched in the appropriate direction to speed up the emptying of a platform.
- elevators can preferably be driven in advance in a corresponding floor to shorten waiting times when foreseeable many people will suddenly request elevators in the same direction.
- the speed of people who in principle determines is of minor importance and can only be roughly determined anyway. However, it can be quite beneficial to be aware of how fast a larger number of people are moving in order to provide trains as soon as possible in order to avoid large crowds of waiting passengers.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 can also be combined according to the invention, as shown for example in FIG.
- additional data from ticket vending machines and / or access control devices may be consulted, which may provide an even more sophisticated picture of the flows of people and residence densities of persons.
- greater resilience is achieved by allowing some type of "backup" function by using different independent subsystems to position people, so that if one subsystem fails, others remain functional - all conceivable combinations of features described and devices may be provided as needed and provide a high degree of flexibility and operational safety for users of the traffic guidance system of the present invention.
- the traffic control system is not limited to high-speed means of transport, in particular track-guided. In driverless or automatic train systems, it develops great effect according to the invention.
- a possible preferred embodiment for track-guided or line-constant means of transport on the surface such as buses, trams,
- Waiting area can with purchase and control of the smart cards and with the described
- the delimitation of the routes from the waiting areas can be done by platform screen doors and similar barriers, as disclosed for example in EP 1 053 159 B1.
- a certain protection of the waiting for example, also from climatic
- it ensures that only the correctly counted passengers who have been pre-tested for driving authorization and safety board the means of transport.
- a variant consisting of different elements is preferred.
- the preferred variant is suitable for buses and bus lines as well as trams / trams and light rail vehicles.
- the lines drive on the surface and usually, but not necessarily, on their own track or own route.
- the waiting passengers are housed in covered and laterally closed structures, preferably container-like buildings, but in any case buildings with preferably steel structure and glazing. They enter these buildings to wait for the means of transport and preferably for control.
- the buildings preferably have walls with platform screen doors, if necessary also flexible platform screen doors, i. Where doors of the bus or rail vehicle are, doors also open in the lane side of the waiting shelter.
- One or two of the sides not facing the lane or the track have entry and exit doors for the passengers in and out of the gatehouse.
- the waiting building can also consist partly of textile structures that are created in lightweight construction. A certain degree of thermal insulation must be constructively possible, since temperature differences exist on the walls.
- the waiting area is air-conditioned, i. A pleasant waiting climate is ensured via the air condition.
- the vehicle approaches so close to the lane-side wall or the lane-side doors that the room climate is not affected by the door opening, i. E. as little as possible of the tempered air is lost.
- the energy supply of both the waiting area and the vehicles is self-sufficient, for example with the help of fuel cells, the energy for which can be generated with solar systems (especially in climatically hot, sunny areas).
- Waiting hall elements can be longitudinally combined, ie added, also a central entrance hall with extensions, consisting of waiting area elements, is conceivable.
- security monitoring also as described above in connection with ticketing, at the entrance to the waiting area, also conceivable metal detection, detection of explosives, biometrics, scanner for bags etc.
- a passenger line according to the invention requires the counting of passengers who want to travel by means of transport. In this way, the lines, frequency of the vehicles etc. can be controlled via the actual number of arriving passengers (traffic on demand).
