Verfahren und Einrichtungen dieser Art sind natürlich in vielfältiger Weise bekannt. So gibt es sog. satellitengestützte, d. h. GPS-gestützte Navigationssysteme, die relativ aufwendig arbeiten. Jedoch beziehen diese sich auf die Navigation einzelner Fahrzeuge, wobei das Erkennen von räumlichen Fahrzeugansammlungen oder -häufungen, die Staus provozieren können, wiederum in einer entsprechend aufwendigen Berechnung zentral lokalisiert werden müssen. Entsprechend berechnete Daten können dann jedoch wieder per Funk den entsprechenden GPS-Navigationssystemen funktechnisch bereitgestellt werden.Methods and devices of this type are of course known in a variety of ways. So there are so-called satellite-based, d. H. GPS based navigation systems that are relative work elaborately. However, these refer to the navigation of individual vehicles, recognizing spatial vehicle accumulations or clusters that Can provoke traffic jams, again in a correspondingly complex calculation must be located centrally. However, data calculated accordingly can again radio-wise the corresponding GPS navigation systems to be provided.
Darüber hinaus gibt es Kamerasysteme, die ortsfest installiert sind und an Kreuzungen oder anderen wichtigen Verkehrsknotenpunkten die Verkehrssituation, insbesondere die Vorkommnisse von Stausituationen erfassen.In addition, there are camera systems that are permanently installed and at intersections or other important traffic junctions the traffic situation, in particular the Record incidents of traffic jams.
So ist aus der DE 198 45 093 A1 ein Verfahren zur Überwachung von Ereignissen bekannt, insbesondere zur Überwachung von Verkehrsströmen, wobei die Verkehrsströme durch eine Kamera erfaßt und die erfaßten Bilder an eine Recheneinheit, welche die Bilder auswertet, weitergeleitet werden. Entsprechende Verkehrsinformationen werden sodann generiert und wiederum zur Verfügung gestellt.DE 198 45 093 A1 describes a method for monitoring events known, in particular for monitoring traffic flows, the Traffic flows captured by a camera and the captured images to one Computing unit, which evaluates the images, are forwarded. Appropriate Traffic information is then generated and made available again.
Darüber hinausgehend sind Kamerasysteme auch aus der DE 197 02 363 A1 bekannt, wobei die Kamerasysteme für ein Fahrzeug vorgesehen sind. Diese sind dann am Fahrzeug angeordnet und erfassen das Umfeld um das Kraftfahrzeug herum. Solche und ähnliche Verwendungen sind im Stand der Technik bekannt.In addition, camera systems are also known from DE 197 02 363 A1, the camera systems being provided for a vehicle. These are then Arranged vehicle and capture the environment around the motor vehicle. Such and similar uses are known in the art.
Der Erfindung liegt davon ausgehend die Aufgabe zugrunde, bessere kameragestützte Verkehrsbeobachtungsmöglichkeiten zu schaffen, als dies herkömmliche, stationäre Kamerasysteme können. Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object of better camera-based To create traffic monitoring opportunities than this conventional, stationary Camera systems can.
Die gestellte Aufgabe ist bei einem Verfahren der gattungsgemäßen Art erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.The task is in a method of the generic type solved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind in den abhängigen Verfahrensansprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention are in the dependent method claims specified.
Im Hinblick auf eine Einrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art ist die gestellte Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 5 gelöst.With regard to a device of the generic type, the task is solved according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 5.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung sind in den übrigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous embodiments of the device according to the invention are in the other claims specified.
Der erfindungsgemäße Grundgedanke besteht nun darin, daß entgegen der oben beschriebenen, bekannten Verfahrensweise der stationär angeordneten Kamera nunmehr ein Informationsnetzwerk von Kameras derart generiert wird, daß die Kameradaten einer Mehrzahl von im Fahrbetrieb befindlichen Fahrzeugen gesammelt und entsprechend ortsbezogen zur Erstellung eines gesamten auf diese Weise visualisierten Informationsnetzwerkes ausgewertet werden.The basic idea of the invention is now that contrary to the above described, known procedure of the stationary camera now an information network of cameras is generated such that the Camera data of a plurality of vehicles in operation are collected and accordingly location-based to create an overall this way visualized information network can be evaluated.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist angegeben, daß die besagten Informationen nun entweder über eine Zentrale zur entsprechend flächendeckenden Auswertung geführt werden, oder aber, daß eine Mehrzahl von im Betrieb befindlichen Fahrzeugen untereinander informationstechnisch verbunden sind.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is stated that the said information now either via a control center for the corresponding area-wide evaluation be performed, or that a plurality of vehicles in operation are interconnected in terms of information technology.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist daher angegeben, daß diese Verbindung über das Mobilfunknetz besteht, und über dieses die besagten Informationen ausgetauscht bzw. gesendet und empfangen werden können.In a further advantageous embodiment it is therefore stated that this connection via the mobile network exists and the said information is exchanged via this or can be sent and received.
Somit kann ein System geschaffen werden, das beispielsweise eine Mehrzahl von informationstechnisch miteinander verbindbaren Kameras an verschiedenen Fahrzeugen ein internes, nur für diese Gruppe von Fahrzeugen vorgesehenes Informationssystem zur Erlangung von Verkehrssituationen erreicht, welches völlig autark ist von großflächig angelegten Verkehrsinformationssystemen. So kann beispielsweise eine Spedition, welche über eine Vielzahl von Fahrzeugen verfügt, jedes Fahrzeug mit einer solchen autarken Kamera versehen und über das Mobilfunknetz können somit Verkehrsinformationen über die Verkehrsdichte und dgl. mehr zu den damit verbundenen übrigen Fahrzeugen dieser Speditionen geschaffen werden.A system can thus be created which, for example, has a plurality of Information technology connectable cameras on different Vehicles an internal one, intended only for this group of vehicles Information system for obtaining traffic situations achieved which completely is self-sufficient from large-scale traffic information systems. So can for example a freight forwarder who has a large number of vehicles, each Provide the vehicle with such a self-sufficient camera and via the mobile network can thus provide traffic information about traffic density and the like associated other vehicles of these carriers are created.
Es ist darüber hinaus natürlich auch möglich, eine Vielzahl von Fahrzeugen mit solchen autarken Kamerasystemen auszustatten, und die Information insgesamt zu sammeln und durch eine GPS-Ortung sehr genaue Verkehrssituationsdaten in einem sehr großräumigen Bereich vorliegen zu haben.It is of course also possible to use a variety of vehicles with such to equip self-sufficient camera systems and collect the information as a whole and by GPS location very accurate traffic situation data in a very to have a large area.
Es kann jedoch auch dahingehend ausgestaltet sein, daß das Bild vorausfahrender Fahrzeuge an rückwärtige Fahrzeuge weitergegeben wird, wodurch der Streckenfluß insgesamt deutlich verbessert wird. Hierbei können entsprechende Streckenabschnitte entsprechende Informationsaussendungen automatisch generieren, die beispielsweise durch Vorbeifahren des Fahrzeuges an entsprechenden Sendeeinrichtungen oder Mikrosendeeinrichtungen ausgelöst werden können.However, it can also be designed in such a way that the image moves ahead Vehicles are passed on to rear vehicles, causing the route flow is significantly improved overall. Corresponding route sections can be used here automatically generate corresponding information broadcasts, for example by driving the vehicle past appropriate transmission devices or Micro transmitters can be triggered.
Einrichtungsgemäß besteht der Kern der Erfindung dann in den zur Durchführung des Verfahrens notwendigen Mitteln, nämlich der Anordnung einer autarken Kamera in einem jeden oder jeweils einem Kraftfahrzeug, wobei die Kameradaten logisch ausgewertet und sodann über entsprechende Sendemittel entweder einer Zentrale oder übrigen Fahrzeugen mit entsprechenden Empfangsmittel bereitgestellt werden können.Furnishings, the essence of the invention then consists in the implementation of the Process necessary means, namely the arrangement of a self-sufficient camera in each or each of a motor vehicle, the camera data being logical evaluated and then via appropriate transmission means either a central office or other vehicles can be provided with appropriate receiving means.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Einrichtung sind dabei Mobilfunksysteme eingesetzt, die bordeigen im Kraftfahrzeug installiert sind und den Informationsaustausch auf einfache Weise ermöglichen.Mobile radio systems are a further advantageous embodiment of the device used, the on-board installed in the motor vehicle and the Enable information exchange in a simple way.
Die Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und nachfolgend näher beschrieben.The invention is illustrated in the drawing and described in more detail below.
Hierbei ist eine Mehrzahl von Fahrzeugen 1, 2, 3, . . . entlang eines Straßennetzes vereinfacht dargestellt. Jedes Fahrzeug nimmt dabei mit seiner bordeigenen, autarken Kamera entsprechende Verkehrssituationen auf, die ortszugeordnet werden können, entweder durch eine GPS-Ortung oder durch entsprechende stationäre Sendeeinrichtungen x1, x2, . . ., die beim Vorbeipassieren der Fahrzeuge ausgelöst werden, korreliert werden. Sodann werden die Daten entweder einer zentralen Empfangseinrichtung 10 gesendet, die wiederum Verkehrsdaten ortsbezogen zur Verfügung stellen kann, jedem der sie benötigt. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, daß die Fahrzeuge miteinander in Beziehung stehen, wie im oben genannten Ausführungsbeispiel der Spedition. Hierbei werden die Daten der autarken Kamera eines jeden einzelnen Fahrzeuges in diesem Fahrzeugverbund entsprechend berücksichtigt, indem die Verkehrsfunkdaten entweder einer Zentrale zugesendet werden, die diese Verkehrsinformationen dann wieder abrufbar bereithält oder an die entsprechend nachfolgenden Fahrzeuge weiterdistributiert.Here, a plurality of vehicles 1 , 2 , 3,. , , shown in simplified form along a road network. Each vehicle uses its on-board, self-sufficient camera to record corresponding traffic situations that can be assigned to a location, either by GPS location or by corresponding stationary transmitters x1, x2,. , ., which are triggered when the vehicles pass by, are correlated. The data is then either sent to a central receiving device 10 , which in turn can make traffic data available to everyone who needs it. Another possibility is that the vehicles are related to each other, as in the above-mentioned embodiment of the shipping company. In this case, the data from the autonomous camera of each individual vehicle in this group of vehicles is taken into account accordingly, either by sending the traffic radio data to a control center, which then makes this traffic information available again, or by redistributing it to the corresponding following vehicles.
