Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for autonomous tracking and disposition of freight cars using satellite positioning and sensors. This method is particularly used in railways where goods wagons that transport goods across national borders travel.
- the satellite positioning device it is possible to track or monitor the transport of freight wagons on routes of the European railways at short notice without incurring assembly work on the vehicle.
- the satellite tracking device itself is attached to the anti-theft device fixed to the freight car at one of the respective freight wagon design suitable location so that there is a clear view to the sky, and is thus car component.
- Claims 2 to 21 contain advantageous embodiments of the solution according to the invention.
- a reference transport plan (RTP) stored in a database describes the entire route of the freight car from the point of departure to the destination and gives the satellite locating device the time / distance information in the form of geo-coordinates (location information), time of the next measurement (time information, as delta between two Measurements, data in minutes), sensor configuration etc. It was previously agreed with the customer individually or corresponds to the regular transport plan of the railways.
- the satellite positioning device recognizes the start either independently by vibration sensor and / or in connection with leaving the blur area or by the registration of the relevant customer order in the regular order entry systems in the Customer Service Center (KSZ).
- the alarm triggering can be influenced within wide limits according to the customer's wishes, since the satellite locating device compares in the following measurements whether it reaches the measuring point at the specified time T1 or the time T2 in the direction has left on the target. If the measurement is within the blur range, no message is triggered, thus saving energy and communication costs; the measured data are nevertheless recorded in the internal memory (processor memory unit). Ideally, a single end-of-timetable message will be delivered when arriving at the destination on time, including the full run history of the car with all measurement results. The maximum number of characters that can be transmitted within an SMS (Short Message Service) is always utilized, which in turn saves communication costs (primarily roaming charges abroad).
- SMS Short Message Service
- the satellite tracking device for each existing sensor type, the alarm treatment (immediately, later, only load or the like) are assigned individually.
- the message e.g. An untimely door opening of a freight car loaded with cigarettes is typically always displayed immediately and, with its relevant data, can also be forwarded immediately to a police station.
- the satellite tracking device Upon arrival at the destination, the satellite tracking device always goes into sleep mode to save energy.
- the satellite positioning device can additionally or alternatively be configured to perform a localization and to report at fixed time intervals independently of the loading status of the carriage (active mode).
- an up-to-date location is always available in the database and can either be viewed by the customer on demand via the Internet or for internal purposes such as e.g. Disposition of the empty freight car to be used by the fleet manager.
- the invention that after arrival at the destination the discharge is monitored (loading period) and the status change loaded / empty is reported. If defined deviations are exceeded (time, location, sensor status), an alarm is triggered.
- the satellite locating device recognizes independently the need for a status message to minimize telecommunications costs.
- the control center consists of the communication and application server as well as a database.
- the software has been developed for the special processes of rail transport (for example, transports from A to B are not necessarily always on the same path) and allows a largely automated monitoring and disposition of the freight wagon fleet.
- the communication server is the central interface between the application server and the communication provider. It makes the incoming messages available to the application server in a defined format and conversely converts the messages of the application server into the format expected by the communications provider.
- the communication server makes the received SMS available to the application server as text and transfers the texts received from the application server to the communications provider as SMS.
- the communication server stores the incoming and outgoing SMS messages in the database.
- the satellite servers are configured and managed via the application server. Based on the user preferences, the application server generates the content of the messages to the satellite tracking devices. Furthermore, the application server can determine reference schedules for further transports of the same relation on the basis of transports already carried out.
- the application server displays the received alarms and messages to the user in the appropriate form. It offers extensive possibilities for evaluating the stored information.
- the application server manages the master data, the order data, and the reference schedules generated externally and by the application server itself, and acquires static data, order data, and external reference schedules from deployed files. Receiving the current location report of a freight car - especially abroad - is of little use, if it is not clear at the same time, where it should be based on the schedule, the classic target / actual comparison on the basis of known timetable data.
- the principle has been pursued according to the invention, at the source of information generation, the locating device on freight wagons, set to avoid unnecessary energy and, above all, communication costs causing messages.
- the monitoring of the transport takes place in the terminals themselves, messages only occur if defined deviations from the transport process occur.
- the software was enabled to learn deviations in the course of transport and in the future to interpret as correct. She is even in a position to set this not only on the relation alone, but also depending on different days of the road.
- the software recognizes that several freight wagons are merged with the same order ie the same route / destination in a freight train and logically run in satellite tracking device on the freight car each causing the same energy and communication costs activities. In this case, only two satellite tracking devices are activated, and precisely those with the highest energy reserve. This intelligent data management can reduce communication costs by more than 50%.
- a largely automated DV support provides particularly advantageous for communication and processing of the data.
- the previously focused on the monitoring of the loaded freight car mode means that after reaching the planned goal of the monitoring order completed and the satellite positioning device is put into sleep mode.
- the satellite positioning device is caused by configuration to detect the status change of the sensor from loaded to empty.
- the resulting message causes the disposition module of the control center software to take the freight wagon as reusable into the disposition stock and either during the once-a-day batch run - analogous to the logic of the national Empty wagon management - to link with known needs and deliver them to a new destination abroad or to drive him home empty-handed.
- Re-loading orders avoid the payment of RIV rent (International Rail Agreement on user charges for the duration of a freight car's stay on the foreign network) while at the same time increasing the productivity of the freight wagon.
- RIV rent International Rail Agreement on user charges for the duration of a freight car's stay on the foreign network
- the logistics company offers a Tracking & Tracing Service for customers and a loading space exchange for dispatchers.
- Authorized customers can access the current location data of all active as well as closed orders via an access portal via the Internet at any time either by specifying the wagon or the associated order number in list form or graphically deposited; if desired also as expression. Visible, however, are only the location information as determined above and agreed with the customer. Should the customer currently wish a location information, he has the instrument of Pollingabfrage available and he has the ability to change the future reporting and working behavior by changing the configuration of the satellite positioning device. Since these actions are costly (communication costs and energy consumption), the inputs are recorded and the operating costs are billed.
- the location of one or more freight cars can be displayed graphically.
- the software selects the map section in particular so that all requested carriage locations are visible at the same time.
- An energy balance calculation of the satellite positioning device is based on the following basic assumption:
- the satellite positioning device books in particular hourly to query messages in the GSM network, in particular four times a day, i. every 6 hours, its current position and informs it in particular twice daily of the control center.
- all components are designed to save energy, so that the entire unit - the satellite tracking device - its power supply self-sufficient over a period of at least six years (maintenance cycle of the freight car) ensures without having to approach or replace a charging point, for example, to recharge the battery.
- the geo-coordinates determined by GPS supplemented with further information, such as the sensors are transmitted via the GSM network or in the absence of network coverage via communication satellites such as e.g. Orbcomm transmitted to the communication server of the control center; in the opposite way, information is sent to the satellite locator, e.g. transmitted to the transport order to trigger the event and interval management in the device according to the invention.
- communication satellites such as e.g. Orbcomm transmitted to the communication server of the control center; in the opposite way, information is sent to the satellite locator, e.g. transmitted to the transport order to trigger the event and interval management in the device according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 schematically shows a system consisting of permanently welded to the freight car satellite positioning device 1, with the position determination with Help the GPS, collecting information with additional sensors according to Fig. 2 and enable data transmission with SMS via GSM or alternatively via satellite modem via communication satellites such as Orbcomm to a communication provider 2.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß für das Verfahren durch die in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved for the method by the features specified in
Ansprüche 2 bis 21 beinhalten vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung.
Erfindungsgemäß beschreibt ein in einer Datenbank hinterlegter Referenztransportplan (RTP) den gesamten Laufweg des Güterwagens von der Abgangsstelle bis zum Ziel und gibt dem Satellitenortungsgerät die Zeit-/Weginformation in Form von Geokoordinaten (Ortsinformation), Zeitpunkt der nächsten Messung (Zeitinformation, als Delta zwischen zwei Messungen, Angabe in Minuten), Sensorik-Konfiguration etc. vor. Er wurde vorher mit dem Kunden individuell vereinbart oder entspricht dem regulären Transportplan der Eisenbahnen. Das Satellitenortungsgerät erkennt den Start entweder selbständig per Vibrationssensor und/oder in Verbindung mit Verlassen des Unschärfebereiches oder durch die Erfassung des betreffenden Kundenauftrages in den regulären Auftragserfassungssystemen im KundenServiceZentrum (KSZ).According to the invention, a reference transport plan (RTP) stored in a database describes the entire route of the freight car from the point of departure to the destination and gives the satellite locating device the time / distance information in the form of geo-coordinates (location information), time of the next measurement (time information, as delta between two Measurements, data in minutes), sensor configuration etc. It was previously agreed with the customer individually or corresponds to the regular transport plan of the railways. The satellite positioning device recognizes the start either independently by vibration sensor and / or in connection with leaving the blur area or by the registration of the relevant customer order in the regular order entry systems in the Customer Service Center (KSZ).
Durch den individuell festlegbaren Unschärfebereich (Radius in km um den Messpunkt) kann die Alarmauslösung je nach Kundenwunsch in weiten Grenzen beeinflusst werden, da das Satellitenortungsgerät bei den folgenden Messungen vergleicht, ob es zur vorgegeben Zeit T1 den Messpunkt erreicht bzw. zur Zeit T2 in Richtung auf das Ziel verlassen hat. Sofern die Messung innerhalb des Unschärfebereiches liegt, wird keine Meldung ausgelöst und somit Energie und Kommunikationskosten eingespart; die Messdaten werden dennoch im internen Speicher (Processor-Speichereinheit) festgehalten. Im Idealfall wird erst bei pünktlicher Ankunft am Ziel eine einzige Fahrplan-Ende-Meldung abgegeben, die die gesamte Laufhistorie des Wagens mit allen Messergebnissen beinhaltet. Die innerhalb einer SMS (Short Message Service) übermittelbare maximale Anzahl von Zeichen wird stets ausgenutzt und dadurch wiederum Kommunikationskosten (primär die Roaminggebühren im Ausland) eingespart. Ebenso kann dem Satellitenortungsgerät zu jedem vorhandenen Sensoriktyp die Alarmbehandlung (sofort, später, nur Lastlauf o.ä.) individuell beauftragt werden. Die Meldung z.B. einer unzeitigen Türöffnung eines mit Zigaretten beladenen Güterwagens wird typischerweise stets sofort angezeigt und kann mit ihren relevanten Daten auch sofort einer Polizeidienststelle zugeleitet werden.Due to the individually definable blur range (radius in km around the measuring point), the alarm triggering can be influenced within wide limits according to the customer's wishes, since the satellite locating device compares in the following measurements whether it reaches the measuring point at the specified time T1 or the time T2 in the direction has left on the target. If the measurement is within the blur range, no message is triggered, thus saving energy and communication costs; the measured data are nevertheless recorded in the internal memory (processor memory unit). Ideally, a single end-of-timetable message will be delivered when arriving at the destination on time, including the full run history of the car with all measurement results. The maximum number of characters that can be transmitted within an SMS (Short Message Service) is always utilized, which in turn saves communication costs (primarily roaming charges abroad). Likewise, the satellite tracking device for each existing sensor type, the alarm treatment (immediately, later, only load or the like) are assigned individually. The message e.g. An untimely door opening of a freight car loaded with cigarettes is typically always displayed immediately and, with its relevant data, can also be forwarded immediately to a police station.
Nach Ankunft am Ziel wechselt das Satellitenortungsgerät grundsätzlich in den Sleep-Modus, um Energie zu sparen. Das Satellitenortungsgerät kann neben dem vorstehend beschriebenen Transportplan-Modus zusätzlich oder alternativ so konfiguriert werden, in festen Zeitabständen eine Ortung vorzunehmen und zu melden unabhängig vom Ladestatus des Wagens (Aktiv-Modus). Dadurch ist ein stets aktueller Standort in der Datenbank vorhanden und kann entweder vom Kunden auf Wunsch per Internet eingesehen werden oder für interne Zwecke wie z.B. Disposition des leeren Güterwagens durch den Flottenmanager verwendet werden.Upon arrival at the destination, the satellite tracking device always goes into sleep mode to save energy. In addition to the transport plan mode described above, the satellite positioning device can additionally or alternatively be configured to perform a localization and to report at fixed time intervals independently of the loading status of the carriage (active mode). As a result, an up-to-date location is always available in the database and can either be viewed by the customer on demand via the Internet or for internal purposes such as e.g. Disposition of the empty freight car to be used by the fleet manager.
Anders als beim Lkw gibt es im Schienengüterverkehr keinen Fahrer, der Informationen über Leitwege und Zeitvorgaben aktiv umsetzt. Ersatzweise wurde daher erfindungsgemäß eine sich selbst kontrollierende Laufüberwachung implementiert, die - wie der Lkw-Fahrer auch - nur im Abweichungsfall eine kostenträchtige Information auslöst.Unlike lorries, there is no driver in rail freight transport who actively implements information about routes and timelines. As an alternative, therefore, a self-monitoring running monitoring was implemented according to the invention, which - like the truck driver - only triggers cost-intensive information in the event of a deviation.
Vorteilhaft wird somit durch die Erfindung erreicht, dass nach Ankunft am Ziel die Entladung überwacht wird (Ladefrist) und der Statuswechsel beladen/leer gemeldet wird. Bei Überschreitung definierter Abweichungen (Zeit, Ort, Status der Sensorik) wird ein Alarm ausgelöst. Insbesondere erkennt das Satellitenortungsgerät selbständig die Notwendigkeit einer Status-Meldung um Telekommunikationskosten zu minimieren.Advantageously, it is thus achieved by the invention that after arrival at the destination the discharge is monitored (loading period) and the status change loaded / empty is reported. If defined deviations are exceeded (time, location, sensor status), an alarm is triggered. In particular, the satellite locating device recognizes independently the need for a status message to minimize telecommunications costs.
Beginnend mit der Bereitstellung eines leeren Güterwagens zur Beladung wird seine zeitgerechte beladene Übergabe zur Beförderung, die Einhaltung der Ladefrist beim Kunden und die pünktliche Abfahrt des beladenen Güterwagens sowie die nachfolgende Laufüberwachung per Soll-/Ist-Vergleich vom Start bis zum Ziel sichergestellt.Starting with the provision of an empty freight car for loading, its timely loaded delivery for carriage, adherence to the customer's deadline and punctual departure of the loaded freight car and the subsequent run monitoring by target / actual comparison from start to finish guaranteed.
Die intelligente Informationsverarbeitung im Satellitenortungsgerät am Güterwagen wird ergänzt um eine Verarbeitung und Zusammenarbeit mit der Leitstandsoftware, dem eigentlichen Herzstück des Gesamtsystems. Der Leitstand besteht hierbei aus dem Kommunikations- und Applikationsserver sowie einer Datenbank. Die Software ist auf die speziellen Prozessabläufe des Eisenbahntransportes (z.B. dass Transporte von A nach B nicht zwingend stets auf dem gleichen Weg verlaufen) hin entwickelt und erlaubt eine weitestgehend automatisiert ablaufende Überwachung und Disposition der Güterwagenflotte. Dabei ist der Kommunikations-Server die zentrale Schnittstelle zwischen dem Applikations-Server und dem Kommunikationsprovider. Er stellt die eingehenden Nachrichten dem Applikations-Server in einem definierten Format zur Verfügung und wandelt im umgekehrten Weg die Nachrichten des Applikations-Servers in das vom Kommunikationsprovider erwartete Format um. Der Kommunikations-Server stellt die empfangenen SMS dem Applikations-Server als Text zur Verfügung und übergibt die vom Applikations-Server erhaltenen Texte dem Kommunikationsprovider als SMS. Zusätzlich speichert der Kommunikations-Server die ein- und ausgehenden SMS-Nachrichten in der Datenbank. Über den Applikations-Server werden die Satellitenortungsgeräte konfiguriert und verwaltet. Aufgrund der Benutzervorgaben erzeugt der Applikations-Server den Inhalt der Nachrichten an die Satellitenortungsgeräte. Des Weiteren kann der Applikations-Server aufgrund von bereits durchgeführten Transporten Referenz-Transportpläne für weitere Transporte derselben Relation bestimmen.Intelligent information processing in the satellite tracking device on freight wagons is supplemented by processing and cooperation with the control center software, the very heart of the overall system. The control center consists of the communication and application server as well as a database. The software has been developed for the special processes of rail transport (for example, transports from A to B are not necessarily always on the same path) and allows a largely automated monitoring and disposition of the freight wagon fleet. The communication server is the central interface between the application server and the communication provider. It makes the incoming messages available to the application server in a defined format and conversely converts the messages of the application server into the format expected by the communications provider. The communication server makes the received SMS available to the application server as text and transfers the texts received from the application server to the communications provider as SMS. In addition, the communication server stores the incoming and outgoing SMS messages in the database. The satellite servers are configured and managed via the application server. Based on the user preferences, the application server generates the content of the messages to the satellite tracking devices. Furthermore, the application server can determine reference schedules for further transports of the same relation on the basis of transports already carried out.
Der Applikations-Server stellt die empfangenen Alarme und Nachrichten dem Benutzer in entsprechender Form dar. Er bietet umfangreiche Möglichkeiten, die gespeicherten Informationen auszuwerten. Zusätzlich verwaltet der Applikations-Server die Stammdaten, die Auftragsdaten und die extern und durch den Applikations-Server selbst erzeugten Referenz-Transportpläne und übernimmt statische Daten, Auftragsdaten und externe Referenz-Transportpläne aus bereitgestellten Dateien. Die Entgegennahme der aktuellen Standortmeldung eines Güterwagens - zumal im Ausland - nützt für sich allein betrachtet wenig, wenn nicht gleichzeitig klar ist, wo er sich planmäßig befinden sollte, der klassische Soll-/Ist-Vergleich auf Basis bekannter Fahrplandaten. In Verbindung mit dem stets vorhandenen Zwang zum Energiesparen mangels Stromversorgung wurde erfindungsgemäß konsequent das Prinzip verfolgt, an der Quelle der Informationsentstehung, dem Ortungsgerät am Güterwagen, anzusetzen, um unnötige Energie und vor allem auch Kommunikationskosten verursachende Meldungen zu vermeiden. Die Überwachung des Transportes erfolgt in den Endgeräten selbst, Meldungen entstehen nur, wenn definierte Abweichungen vom Transportverlauf entstehen. Um einer bekannte Eigenart der Eisenbeförderung, ein bestimmtes Ziel nicht immer auf dem gleichen Weg anzufahren, Rechnung zu tragen wurde die Software befähigt, Abweichungen im Transportverlauf zu erlernen und künftig als richtig zu interpretieren. Sie ist dabei sogar in der Lage, dies nicht nur auf die Relation allein, sondern auch in Abhängigkeit zu unterschiedlichen Verkehrstagen zu setzen. Ebenso erkennt die Software, dass mehrere Güterwagen mit dem gleichen Auftrag d.h. gleichem Weg/Ziel in einem Güterzug zusammengeführt sind und logischerweise im Satellitenortungsgerät am Güterwagen die jeweils gleichen Energie- und Kommunikationskosten verursachenden Aktivitäten ablaufen. In diesem Fall werden lediglich zwei Satellitenortungsgeräte aktiviert und zwar genau die mit der höchsten Energiereserve. Durch dieses intelligente Datenmanagement können Kommunikationskosten um über 50 % gesenkt werden.The application server displays the received alarms and messages to the user in the appropriate form. It offers extensive possibilities for evaluating the stored information. In addition, the application server manages the master data, the order data, and the reference schedules generated externally and by the application server itself, and acquires static data, order data, and external reference schedules from deployed files. Receiving the current location report of a freight car - especially abroad - is of little use, if it is not clear at the same time, where it should be based on the schedule, the classic target / actual comparison on the basis of known timetable data. In connection with the ever-present compulsion to save energy due to lack of power, the principle has been pursued according to the invention, at the source of information generation, the locating device on freight wagons, set to avoid unnecessary energy and, above all, communication costs causing messages. The monitoring of the transport takes place in the terminals themselves, messages only occur if defined deviations from the transport process occur. In order to take into account a well-known peculiarity of the iron transport, not always on the same way to reach a certain goal, the software was enabled to learn deviations in the course of transport and in the future to interpret as correct. She is even in a position to set this not only on the relation alone, but also depending on different days of the road. Likewise, the software recognizes that several freight wagons are merged with the same order ie the same route / destination in a freight train and logically run in satellite tracking device on the freight car each causing the same energy and communication costs activities. In this case, only two satellite tracking devices are activated, and precisely those with the highest energy reserve. This intelligent data management can reduce communication costs by more than 50%.
Besonders vorteilhaft sorgt somit eine weitgehend automatisiert arbeitende DV-Unterstützung zur Kommunikation und Aufbereitung der Daten.Thus, a largely automated DV support provides particularly advantageous for communication and processing of the data.
Die bisher auf das Monitoring des beladenen Güterwagens fokussierte Arbeitsweise (Transportplan-Modus) führt dazu, dass nach Erreichung des geplanten Ziels der Überwachungsauftrag abgeschlossen und das Satellitenortungsgerät in den Sleepmodus versetzt wird. Erfindungsgemäß wird unter Nutzung des Aktiv-Modus das Satellitenortungsgerät per Konfiguration veranlasst, den Statuswechsel des Sensors von beladen in leer zu detektieren. Die dadurch ausgelöste Meldung veranlasst das Dispositionsmodul der Leitstand-Software, den Güterwagen als wiederverwendbar in den Dispositionsbestand zu nehmen und entweder beim einmal täglichen Batchlauf - analog der Logik des nationalen Leerwagenmanagement - mit bekannten Bedarfen zu verknüpfen und einem neuen Ziel im Ausland zuzuführen oder ihn leer zur Heimat zurückzufahren. Dadurch wird der Einsatz von Fremdwagen der jeweiligen Auslandsbahn vermieden und die Produktivität des Güterwagens erhöht sowie dem neuen COTIF (Übereinkommen über den internationalen Güterverkehr) Rechnung getragen, das im Anhang D (ER CUV) eine Beauftragung des Güterwagens grundsätzlich vorsieht, da auch bahneigene Güterwagen zukünftig wie Privatgüterwagen behandelt werden. Vorteil ist somit, dass autark und mit ausreichender Datenqualität der Status des Güterwagens im Ausland jederzeit erfahren und seine Beauftragung zur Beförderung - beladen wie leer - zeitgerecht veranlasst werden kann.The previously focused on the monitoring of the loaded freight car mode (transport plan mode) means that after reaching the planned goal of the monitoring order completed and the satellite positioning device is put into sleep mode. In accordance with the invention, using the active mode, the satellite positioning device is caused by configuration to detect the status change of the sensor from loaded to empty. The resulting message causes the disposition module of the control center software to take the freight wagon as reusable into the disposition stock and either during the once-a-day batch run - analogous to the logic of the national Empty wagon management - to link with known needs and deliver them to a new destination abroad or to drive him home empty-handed. This avoids the use of foreign coaches of the respective foreign railway and increases the productivity of the freight wagon and the new COTIF (Convention on international freight), which provides in Appendix D (ER CUV) a commissioning of the freight wagon, as well as train wagons in the future how to treat private goods wagons. The advantage is thus that self-sufficient and with sufficient data quality, the status of the freight wagon abroad can be experienced at any time and its commission for transport - loaded or empty - can be promptly arranged.
Besonders vorteilhaft wird somit automatisch, sobald der Güterwagen im Ausland leer geworden ist, eine Standortmeldung ausgelöst und eine Meldung zur Disposition des Wagens zu einem Wiederbeladeziel vorgenommen. Durch Beauftragung zur Wiederbeladung wird die Zahlung von RIV-Miete (Internationale Vereinbarung der Bahnen über Nutzungsentgelte für die Zeit des Aufenthalts eines Güterwagens auf dem fremden Netz) vermieden und gleichzeitig die Produktivität des Güterwagens erhöht.It is thus particularly advantageous automatically, as soon as the freight car has become empty abroad, triggered a location report and made a message about the disposition of the car to a reloading. Re-loading orders avoid the payment of RIV rent (International Rail Agreement on user charges for the duration of a freight car's stay on the foreign network) while at the same time increasing the productivity of the freight wagon.
Das Logistikunternehmen bietet zur Abrundung seines Services über das Internet einen Tracking & Tracing Service für Kunden und eine Laderaumbörse für Disponenten. Autorisierte Kunden erhalten über ein Zugangsportal per Internet jederzeit eine Sicht auf die aktuellen Standortdaten aller aktiven wie auch bereits geschlossenen Aufträge entweder über Angabe der Wagen- oder der zugehörigen Auftragsnummer in Listenform oder graphisch hinterlegt; wenn erwünscht auch als Ausdruck. Sichtbar sind allerdings nur die Standortinformationen, wie sie oben beschriebenen und mit dem Kunden vereinbarten Arbeitsweise ermittelt wurden. Sollte der Kunde aktuell eine Standortinformation wünschen, steht ihm das Instrument der Pollingabfrage zur Verfügung und er hat die Möglichkeit, über eine Änderung der Konfiguration des Satellitenortungsgerätes das künftige Melde- und Arbeitsverhalten zu verändern. Da diese Handlungen kostenträchtig sind (Kommunikationskosten und Energieverbrauch) werden die Eingaben aufgezeichnet und die betrieblichen Kosten abgerechnet.To round off its service via the Internet, the logistics company offers a Tracking & Tracing Service for customers and a loading space exchange for dispatchers. Authorized customers can access the current location data of all active as well as closed orders via an access portal via the Internet at any time either by specifying the wagon or the associated order number in list form or graphically deposited; if desired also as expression. Visible, however, are only the location information as determined above and agreed with the customer. Should the customer currently wish a location information, he has the instrument of Pollingabfrage available and he has the ability to change the future reporting and working behavior by changing the configuration of the satellite positioning device. Since these actions are costly (communication costs and energy consumption), the inputs are recorded and the operating costs are billed.
Der Standort eines oder mehrerer Güterwagen kann graphisch hinterlegt angezeigt werden. Die Software wählt den Kartenausschnitt insbesondere so, dass alle angeforderten Wagenstandorte gleichzeitig sichtbar sind.The location of one or more freight cars can be displayed graphically. The software selects the map section in particular so that all requested carriage locations are visible at the same time.
Autorisierte Disponenten des Logistikunternehmens, Vertriebsmitarbeiter der jeweiligen Auslandsbahn wie auch Flottendisponenten haben des Logistikunternehmens selbst haben die Möglichkeit, über eine Laderaumbörse die im Ausland leer werdenden Güterwagen mit Zeitpunkt- und Ortsangabe bereits bei der Abfahrt im Inland zu erkennen und bei Bedarf buchen zu können. Das hat zur Folge, dass diese Güterwagen wie in Anspruch 1 beschrieben automatisch zur neuen Verwendungsstelle disponiert und beauftragt werden.Authorized dispatchers of the logistics company, sales staff of the respective international railway as well as fleet dispatchers have the opportunity to use a loading exchange to identify freight wagons that are becoming empty abroad with time and place information already on departure from the airport and to book them as needed. As a result, these freight cars are automatically scheduled and commissioned as described in
Eine Energiebilanzrechnung des Satellitenortungsgerätes basiert auf folgender Grundannahme: Das Satellitenortungsgerät bucht sich insbesondere stündlich zur Abfrage von Nachrichten im GSM-Netz ein, ermittelt insbesondere viermal täglich, d.h. alle 6 Stunden, seine aktuelle Position und teilt sie insbesondere zweimal täglich der Leitzentrale mit.An energy balance calculation of the satellite positioning device is based on the following basic assumption: The satellite positioning device books in particular hourly to query messages in the GSM network, in particular four times a day, i. every 6 hours, its current position and informs it in particular twice daily of the control center.
Desweiteren sind alle Komponenten in stromsparender Ausführung ausgelegt, so dass die gesamte Einheit - das Satellitenortungsgerät - seine Energieversorgung autark über einen Zeitraum von mindestens sechs Jahren (Revisionszyklus des Güterwagens) sicherstellt, ohne beispielsweise zur Aufladung des Akkumulators eine Ladestelle anfahren oder ausgetauscht werden zu müssen.Furthermore, all components are designed to save energy, so that the entire unit - the satellite tracking device - its power supply self-sufficient over a period of at least six years (maintenance cycle of the freight car) ensures without having to approach or replace a charging point, for example, to recharge the battery.
Die per GPS ermittelten Geokoordinaten ergänzt um weitere Informationen wie z.B. der Sensorik werden über das GSM-Netz bzw. bei fehlender Netzabdeckung über Kommunikations-Satelliten wie z.B. Orbcomm an den Kommunikations-Server der Leitstelle übermittelt; auf dem umgekehrten Weg werden dem Satellitenortungsgerät Informationen z.B. zum Transportauftrag übermittelt, um das erfindungsgemäße Event- und Intervallmanagement im Gerät auszulösen.The geo-coordinates determined by GPS supplemented with further information, such as the sensors are transmitted via the GSM network or in the absence of network coverage via communication satellites such as e.g. Orbcomm transmitted to the communication server of the control center; in the opposite way, information is sent to the satellite locator, e.g. transmitted to the transport order to trigger the event and interval management in the device according to the invention.
