- the different measuring techniques react differently to certain influencing factors. Time of day, weather and also the different vehicle types can influence the detection or accuracy.
- the following table shows particular advantages of detectors: The principles of the measuring method are first explained, then examples are described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.
- the detection device 12 can have a plurality of receiving devices 12b using passive IR technology include, pyroelectric (dynamic) for initial detection and for speed detection of vehicles as well as thermophilic (static) for the length determination.
- passive IR technology include, pyroelectric (dynamic) for initial detection and for speed detection of vehicles as well as thermophilic (static) for the length determination.
- Passive IR sensors are energy saving because they do not emit any energy.
- the transmitter is the respective vehicle, which represents a radiating body. Bodies that are not at absolute zero in terms of temperature (-273 ° C) radiate energy in the form of heat radiation. The intensity of the radiation depends on the temperature, the material and the surface properties. This radiation is converted into an electrical current by the sensor element for a specific frequency range. The change in radiation is evaluated on the basis of the change in current. Since the energy changes z. T. are very small and the radiation / temperature range is very large, the sensor elements must be very sensitive to changes. At the same time they have to rel. can process large amounts of energy.
- the occurrence of a certain energy level is detected by sensors that convert the energy more slowly but continuously.
- Different types of sensors are combined for applications that require quick detection, such as speed measurement, but which should also allow detection at an energy level that varies over the length of the vehicle.
- Inaccuracies in the detection result from the fact that the transmitters have no sharp radiation contours.
- Heat radiation is emitted from an area surrounding an object. This area depends on the radiation source and the surrounding medium, which can dampen this heat radiation or increase the size of the heat radiation-emitting area. In heavy traffic, these areas, e.g. B. in rain or steamy road, overlap. A separation is then difficult.
- a speed measurement is possible from> 0 km / h to> 200 km / h.
- the measurement factor is on average up to 10% and depends on the weather. It increases with speed.
- length measurement is possible with a measurement error of approx.> 1 m depending on the vehicle type, material and the load.
- a count by separating vehicles in close succession is at dry weather possible.
- An active IR sensor can work as an IR button, ie as a pulsed light barrier with transmitter 12a and receiver 12b, and detects near and far fields. This makes it possible to avoid incorrect or non-detection, which occurs due to the different reflection properties of the vehicle surfaces.
- the sensor can be used in particular in combination with a radar sensor.
- the active IR sensor consists of two components, an IR transmitter and an IR receiver.
- the required IR transmission energy depends on the mounting height and reflection properties of the background, because with this method the transmission energy emitted by the transmitter, continuously or in a pulsed manner, is emitted by an object, e.g. B. a vehicle or a street, depending on the surface more or less diffusely or directionally reflected.
- the attenuation increases quadratically with the distance to the reflector.
- the IR diodes generate the necessary radiation power, they are operated in pulse mode. They can briefly emit up to 10 times the permitted radiation power. For a good utilization of the energy, the radiation is strongly bundled by means of optical lenses. If only one light barrier is used, there is a great risk that vehicles will pass it without reliable detection. If only one light barrier is used, speed measurement is not possible. Heavy precipitation, especially heavy snow, which limits the view to less than 50 m, can influence the measured values. Measurements from the side are only possible to a limited extent due to the reflection detection with near and far fields. A length measurement is only possible with the aid of the measured speed with a deviation of up to 0.5 m and is also dependent on the speed accuracy of the detector. The recording / counting is generally good and independent of the weather, even in vehicles closely following one another, due to the strong concentration of the radiation.
- Double active IR Double active IR:
- An active IR sensor works, for example, as a double IR light barrier.
- the speed measurement is possible from> 0 km / h to> 200 km / h.
- the deviation is less than 20%, depending on the structure chosen Vehicle type and increases with speed.
- a length measurement is basically possible.
- Microwave / radar according to FIG. 8 Microwave / radar according to FIG. 8:
- a radar sensor evaluates the reflection of the radar pulses emitted based on the Doppler frequency shift and possibly an energy measurement and uses them to determine vehicle speeds and types.
- the system can evaluate up to 40 measurements per vehicle. Standing traffic is not recognized.
- the radar signal for example at 24 GHz or 64 GHz, is emitted continuously, depending on the system, continuously or only for the transit time of a vehicle. The radar signal cannot be switched as quickly as desired due to the transient and decay processes.
- Radar evaluates the frequency and spectrum of the signal, which are changed during reflection due to the movement of the object relative to the transmitter. Evaluations of the reflected energy allow statements about the vehicle size / shape.
- the radar radiation is influenced by precipitation.
- Precipitation can reflect / scatter the radiation, which leads to an attenuation of the radiation or a Doppler shift.
- Known spectral components of the resulting reflection components can be filtered out, for example, by high / low / band passes.
- the attenuation is compensated for by more radiation energy, whereby radiation limit values must be observed. Measurements from the side are possible, but should then be carried out like a radar measurement by the police from the side at vehicle height, so that there is a uniform surface on all vehicles and almost no shift in the reflection plane.
- the illuminated surface of the vehicles can be problematic, namely partly the side, partly the roof. This results in considerable differences in the reflected energy and the reflection plane gets an additional speed component. A speed and type statement is then only very imprecise.
- An overhead measurement is possible from 5 km / h to> 200 km / h.
- the deviation is on average up to 3%, but increases at very low speeds.
- a length or type detection is possible by evaluating the reflection energy and the reflection duration. The counting in very closely following vehicles is difficult due to the radiation area and the necessary radiation angle.
- Systems can consist, for example, of two IR transmitters that radiate downwards in parallel.
- the vehicle speed, the vehicle type and the vehicle length are recorded by means of correlation (pattern recognition), envelope curve and time difference methods.
- pattern recognition pattern recognition
- envelope curve envelope curve
- time difference methods By deflecting / fanning the beam, the entire width of the road can be detected.
- the beam is only fanned out in width, which only slightly reduces the detection accuracy.
- the reflection R can be evaluated by means of, for example, triangulation and additionally, for example, by means of contour pattern recognition.
- the second sensor recognizes a certain point of the vehicle through the pattern recognition, and thus the time measurement is carried out very precisely.
- the contour recognition allows a detailed assignment of vehicle types.
- Measurements from the side are possible, although shading is important.
- the speed measurement is possible from> 0 km / h to> 200 km / h.
- the average deviation is ⁇ 3%.
- a length measurement is possible with a deviation in the cm range.
- the counting of vehicles in close succession is possible precisely.
- Video evaluation systems have a very powerful computer, depending on the need for detection. With the help of pattern or image comparisons, people, vehicles or objects are recognized and position, size, type and number recorded in time. Color distinctions are also possible. Correlation methods and FUZZI logic are used. Large data stores are necessary. Measurements from the side are favorable for the vehicle type and length detection, whereby shading must be taken into account. A speed and length evaluation is possible depending on exposure times and the number of pictures taken per second from> 0 km / h to> 200 km / h. It is easy to count vehicles closely following one another. The quality depends on the perspective.
- the passive IR system detection system 4, 12b shown in FIG. 6 detects the radiation of a vehicle for speed determination in several IR measurement zones M1 to M3.
- the radiation is detected in a pyroelectric measuring zone M4 for determining the length of the object.
- the emitter is object 5, which emits radiation S in the form of heat. The intensity is not evenly distributed.
- Measurement errors occur here in that for high vehicles 5 the distance between zones M1 to M4 is smaller than for low ones; these measuring errors are reduced by a large mounting height and / or arranging the zones M1 ... M4 approximately vertically below the transmitter, in particular at the greatest possible distance from one another.
- Another problem is that the different areas of the vehicles 5 radiate very differently and the object radiation S can assume values of the road radiation, which is why high sensor sensitivity of the IR sensors 12b is selected with a large actuation range at the same time. A division of the radiation spectrum S may be necessary.
- FIG. 8a shows a side view of a microwave radar measurement from the roadside
- 8b shows an overhead measurement in side view
- FIG. 8c shows a top view Overhead measurement
- Fig. 8d in plan view a measurement from the roadside.
- the signal S emitted by the transmission component of the detector 12 is transmitted Object 5 reflected. Due to the movement in the direction V of the reflective Object 5, the frequency of the reflected signal R is changed and by means of Receiver unit of the detector 12 detected. The frequency change is proportional to the Speed V of the object.
- the frequency change is different.
- the change in the angle of the reflection surface to the radar affects the frequency. Because of different angles of the reflection surface for each object 5 and, in addition, protruding and recessed surfaces, several measurements from the side and / or an evaluation of a large number of measurements per object are carried out.
- the transmitted radiation S is in phase and strongly bundled.
- the radiation is directed or diffusely reflected (R) according to FIG. 9a.
- the transmission beam S can be fanned out according to FIG. 9b by means of rotating mirrors.
- a surface profile 5 can be created and the speed determined by a runtime evaluation of the modulated signal S / R fanned out in two levels.
- a surface profile 5 can be created by fanning out in one plane and height detection according to FIG. 9c. It is not possible to determine the speed. In the case of a system with two transmission and reception components in a detector 12 according to FIG. 9d, however, speed detection can be carried out without beam deflection.
- the change in the reflection plane height is determined twice using triangulation.
- An exact speed V and object length can be detected via a pattern recognition of the reflected signal R.

Der aktuelle Zustand oder Status der Vorrichtung 4 kann von der Steuerung erfaßt und über die Funkeinrichtung 11 in Intervallen oder nach Abfragekommando von der Zentrale per Funk an die Zentrale übermittelt werden. Der Status umfaßt insbesondere Daten über den Ladezustand der Batterie sowie elektronisch feststellbare Defekte der Photovoltaik 9 oder Detektionseinrichtung 12 etc.
Alternativ kann jeder Fahrspur eine eigene Vorrichtung 4 zur Überwachung zugeordnet werden. Dabei können die einzelnen Vorrichtungen als Master-Slave-Konzept realisiert werden. Insbesondere kann z.B., um Energie zu sparen, nur in der Master-Vorrichtung eine Funkeinrichtung und/oder eine Steuerung angeordnet werden. Die einzelnen Vorrichtungen können untereinander durch Leitungen oder durch Funk, der aufgrund der geringen Distanz nur wenig Energie benötigt, oder durch Lichtübertragung informations- und versorgungstechnisch verbunden werden.
Ein Kompaktdetektor 4 ist mit den im folgenden anhand der Figuren 6 bis 9 beschriebenen Sensortechniken realisierbar, die im Zusammenhang mit wie auch unabhängig von der Erfindung von Bedeutung sind.
Da die Energieänderungen z. T. sehr klein sind und der auftretende Strahlungs-/ Temperaturbereich sehr groß ist, müssen die Sensorelemente auf Änderungen sehr empfindlich reagieren können. Gleichzeitig müssen sie rel. große Energiemengen verarbeiten können.
Für Anwendungen die schnelles Erkennen voraussetzen, wie Geschwindigkeitsmessung, die gleichzeitig aber Detektion bei über die Fahrzeuglänge veränderlichem Energieniveau erlauben sollen, werden unterschiedliche Sensortypen kombiniert. Ungenauigkeiten bei der Erfassung entstehen dadurch, daß die Sender keine scharfen Strahlungskonturen besitzen. Wärmestrahlung wird von einem ein Objekt umgebenden Bereich abgegeben. Dieser Bereich ist abhängig von der Strahlungsquelle und vom umgebenden Medium, das diese Wärmestrahlung dämpfen oder die Größe des Wärmeestrahlung emittierenden Bereichs vergrößern kann. Bei dichtem Verkehr können sich diese Bereiche, z. B. bei Regen oder dampfender Fahrbahn, überschneiden. Eine Trennung ist dann schwierig.
Die Längenerfassung ist je nach Witterung mit einem vom Fahrzeugtyp, Material und der Ladung abhängigen Meßfehler von ca. > 1 m möglich.
Der aktive IR-Sensor besteht aus zwei Komponenten, einem IR-Sender und einem IR-Empfänger. Die erforderliche IR-Sendeenergie hängt von der Montagehöhe und Reflektionseigenschaft des Hintergrundes ab, denn bei diesem Verfahren wird die vom Sender, kontinuierlich oder gepulst abgegebene Sendeenergie von einem Objekt, z. B. einem Fahrzeugs oder einer Straße, je nach Oberfläche mehr oder weniger diffus oder gerichtet reflektiert. Die Dämpfung wächst quadratisch mit der Entfernung zum Reflektor.
Bei Einsatz nur einer Lichtschranke ist keine Geschwindigkeitsmessung möglich. Starke Niederschläge, vor allem dichter Schneefall, die die Sicht auf unter 50 m beschränken, können die Meßwerte beeinflussen.
Messungen von der Seite sind aufgrund der Reflexionserfassung mit Nah- und Fernfeld nur bedingt möglich.
Eine Längenerfassung ist nur unter Zuhilfenahme der gemessenen Geschwindigkeit mit einer Abweichung bis zu 0,5 m möglich und ist auch abhängig von der Geschwindigkeitsgenauigkeit des Detektors.
Die Erfassung / Zählung ist auch bei dicht aufeinander folgenden Fahrzeugen, aufgrund der starken Bündelung der Strahlung, im allgemeinen gut und witterungsunabhängig.
Besser ist es, wenn beide Sender senkrecht nach unten strahlen. Um eine höhere Genauigkeit zu erhalten, sollten die Sender möglichst weit auseinander plaziert sein. Starke Niederschläge, vor allem dichter Schneefall, die die Sicht auf unter 50 m beschränken, können die Meßwerte beeinflussen.
Das Radarsignal, z.B. mit 24 GHz oder 64 GHz, wird kontinuierlich, je nach System, dauernd oder nur für die Durchfahrtzeit eines Fahrzeugs ausgesendet. Das Radarsignal ist aufgrund der Ein- und Ausschwingvorgänge nicht beliebig schnell zu schalten.
Ausgewertet wird beim Radar die Frequenz und das Spektrum des Signals, die aufgrund der Bewegung des Objektes relativ zum Sender bei der Reflexion geändert werden. Auswertungen der reflektierten Energie lassen Aussagen über die Fahrzeuggröße/-form zu.
Die Radarstrahlung wird durch Niederschläge beeinflußt. Niederschlag kann die Strahlung reflektieren/streuen, was zu einer Dämpfung der Strahlung bzw. einer Dopplerverschiebung führt. Bekannte Spektralanteile von dadurch entstehenden Reflexionsanteile können z.B. durch Hoch/Tief/Bandpässe herausgefiltert werden. Die Dämpfung wird durch mehr Strahlungsenergie ausgeglichen, wobei Strahlungs-Grenzwerte einzuhalten sind.
Messungen von der Seite sind möglich, sollten dann aber wie eine Radarmessung der Polizei von der Seite auf Fahrzeughöhe erfolgen, so daß eine gleichmäßige Fläche bei allen Fahrzeugen und fast keine Verschiebung der Reflexionsebene vorliegt. Problematisch kann dabei die angestrahlte Fläche der Fahrzeuge sein, nämlich teilweise die Seite, teilweise das Dach. Dadurch ergeben sich erhebliche Unterschiede in der reflektierten Energie und die Reflexionsebene bekommt eine zusätzliche Geschwindigkeitskomponente. Eine Geschwindigkeits- und Typaussage ist dann nur sehr ungenau.
Eine Überkopfmessung ist von 5 km/h bis >200 km/h möglich.
Die Abweichung liegt dabei im Schnitt bei bis zu 3%, steigt aber bei sehr geringen Geschwindigkeiten.
Eine Längen- oder Typerfassung ist mittels Bewertung der Reflexionsenergie und der Reflexionsdauer möglich.
Die Zählung bei sehr dicht aufeinander folgenden Fahrzeugen ist aufgrund des Strahlungsbereiches und des notwendigen Strahlungswinkels schwierig.
Durch Umlenken / Auffächern des Strahls kann die gesamte Fahrbahnbreite erfaßt werden. Der Strahl ist dabei nur in der Breite aufgefächert, was die Erfassungsgenauigkeit nur unwesentlich verringert.
Ausgewertet werden kann die Reflexion R mittels z.B. Triangulation und zusätzlich z.B. mittels Kontur- Mustererkennung. Durch die Mustererkennung wird ein bestimmter Punkt des Fahrzeugs durch den zweiten Sensor wiedererkannt, und somit die Zeitmessung sehr genau durchgeführt.
Die Konturerkennung läßt eine detaillierte Zuordnung von Fahrzeugtypen zu. Messungen von der Seite sind möglich, wobei eine Abschattung zu beachten ist. Die Geschwindigkeitsmessung ist von >0 km/h bis >200 km/h möglich, Die Abweichung liegt im Schnitt bei < 3%.
Eine Längenerfassung ist mit einer Abweichung im cm-Bereich möglich. Die Zählung von dicht aufeinander folgenden Fahrzeugen ist präzise möglich.
Es werden Korrelationsverfahren und FUZZI-Logik eingesetzt. Große Datenspeicher sind notwendig.
Messungen von der Seite sind für die Fahrzeugtyp und -längenerfassung günstig, wobei Abschattungen zu beachten sind.
Eine Geschwindigkeits- und Längenauswertung ist abhängig von Belichtungszeiten und Anzahl der aufgenommenen Bilder pro Sekunde von >0 km/h bis >200 km/h möglich.
Eine Zählung von dicht aufeinander folgenden Fahrzeugen ist gut möglich. Die Qualität ist abhängig vom Blickwinkel.
Das in Fig.6 dargestellte Passiv IR-System Detektionssystem 4,12b erfaßt die Strahlung eines Fahrzeuges zur Geschwindigkeitsermittlung in mehreren IR-Meßzonen M1 bis M3. Zusätzlich wird die Strahlung in einer pyroelektrischen Meßzone M4 zur Längenbestimmung des Objektes erfaßt. Der Emittent ist in diesem Fall das Objekt 5, das Strahlung S in Form von Wärme sendet. Die Intensität ist dabei nicht gleichmäßig verteilt.
Problematisch ist ferner, daß die verschiedenen Bereiche der Fahrzeuge 5 sehr unterschiedlich strahlen und die Objektstrahlung S Werte der Fahrbahnstrahlung annehmen kann, weshalb hohe Sensoren-Empfindlichkeit der IR-Sensoren 12b bei gleichzeitig großem Aussteuerbereich gewählt wird. Eventuell ist eine Aufteilung des Strahlungsspektrums S erforderlich.
Für hohe Fahrzeuge 5 ist der Abstand der Reflexionspunkte für die Geschwindigkeitsermittlung geringer als bei flachen.
Große Montagehöhe ist deshalb vorteilhaft, weil dadurch der Fehler geringer wird. Ferner sollten die Strahlen S senkrecht nach unten in einem möglichst großen Abstand zueinander ausgesendet werden.
Es kann zu einer Totalreflexion R in eine falsche Richtung an glatten Oberflächen 5 gemäß Fig. 7d kommen.
Wegen unterschiedlicher Winkel der Reflexionsoberfläche je Objekt 5 und außerdem vor- und zurückspringender Flächen werden mehrere Messungen von der Seite und/oder eine Auswertung einer hohen Zahl von Messungen je Objekt ausgeführt.
Bei einem System mit zwei Sende- und Empfangskomponenten in einem Detektor 12 gemäß Fig. 9d kann jedoch eine Geschwindigkeitserfassung ohne Strahlablenkung erfolgen. Mittels Triangulation wird zweimal die Änderung der Reflexionsebenenhöhe ermittelt.
