Dem gegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Verfahren und ein System zu schaffen, das eine flexible Nutzung (Aufnehmen und Parken) von Landfahrzeugen eines Pools oder einer Flotte ermöglicht und dabei eine Beachtung von Parkregeln gemäß einem Parkraummanagement einer Stadt ermöglicht. Weiterhin soll ein Server geschaffen werden, der in diesem Verfahren bzw. System verwendet werden kann.On the other hand, the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a system that allows flexible use (picking and parking) of land vehicles of a pool or fleet while allowing for observance of park rules according to a parking management of a city. Furthermore, a server is to be created, which can be used in this method or system.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und durch ein System mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 11 und durch einen Server mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 14.This object is achieved by a method having the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Bestimmung eines Aufenthaltes eines Landfahrzeugs, das zu einem Pool bzw. einer Flotte mit mehreren Landfahrzeugen gehört, und das eine Datenübertragungseinheit und eine Standortbestimmungseinheit - insbesondere GPS - hat, weist folgenden vorbereitenden Schritte auf:
- Speicherung von mehreren geografischen Bereichen einer übergeordneten Stadt in einer Datenverarbeitungseinheit, insbesondere in einer Datenbank. Die Stadt hat ein Parkraummanagement, über das geregelt ist, wo und wann welche Fahrzeuge parken dürfen. Die erfindungsgemäßen Bereiche sind an das Parkraummanagement geografisch angepasst. Die Bereiche können dabei zueinander beabstandet oder aneinander angrenzend oder einander überlappend sein.
- Storage of multiple geographic areas of a parent city in a data processing unit, in particular in a database. The city has a parking space management, which regulates where and when which vehicles are allowed to park. The areas according to the invention are geographically adapted to the parking space management. The regions may be spaced apart from one another or adjacent to one another or overlapping one another.
Das Verfahren weist danach folgende Schritte auf, die auch wiederholt erfolgen können:
- Ermittlung eines Standortes des Landfahrzeugs durch die Standortbestimmungseinheit;
- Übertragung des Standortes von der Standortbestimmungseinheit an die Datenübertragungseinheit;
- Übertragung - insbesondere über GPRS oder GSM oder TCP/IP oder SMS - des Standortes von der Datenübertragungseinheit zur Datenverarbeitungseinheit; und
- Ermittlung von 0 bis n (n ist eine natürliche Zahl) Bereichen, in denen der Standort angeordnet ist, durch die Datenverarbeitungseinheit.
- Determining a location of the land vehicle by the location determination unit;
- Transmitting the location from the location determination unit to the data transmission unit;

Das entsprechende erfindungsgemäße System dient zur Bestimmung eines Aufenthalts eines Landfahrzeugs eines Pools, wobei das System eine Datenverarbeitungseinheit aufweist, dessen Landfahrzeug eine Datenübertragungseinheit und eine Standortbestimmungseinheit hat. In der Datenverarbeitungseinheit sind mehrere geografische Bereiche einer übergeordneten Stadt abgespeichert, die ein Parkraummanagement hat, wobei die Bereiche an das Parkraummanagement angepasst sind und zueinander beabstandet, aneinander angrenzend oder einander überlappend sind. Über die Standortbestimmungseinheit ist ein Standort des Landfahrzeugs ermittelbar und von der Datenübertragungseinheit zur Datenverarbeitungseinheit übertragbar. Von der Datenverarbeitungseinheit sind der bzw. die Bereiche ermittelbar, in denen der Standort angeordnet ist. Das Ergebnis besteht aus 0-n Bereichen.The corresponding system according to the invention serves to determine a residence of a land vehicle of a pool, the system having a data processing unit whose land vehicle has a data transmission unit and a location determination unit. The data processing unit stores a plurality of geographical areas of a higher-level city, which has parking space management, wherein the areas are adapted to the parking space management and are spaced from one another, adjoining one another or overlapping one another. A location of the land vehicle can be determined via the location determination unit and can be transmitted from the data transmission unit to the data processing unit. From The data processing unit or areas are determined in which the location is arranged. The result consists of 0-n ranges.
Durch diese Bestimmung des Aufenthaltes in den verschiedenen vordefinierten Bereichen es möglich, die Legalität bzw. Regelkonformität bei einem Abstellen des betrachteten Fahrzeugs zu überprüfen oder zu beachten oder nachzuhalten.Through this determination of the stay in the various predefined areas, it is possible to check or observe the legality or compliance with regulations when parking the vehicle under consideration.
So kann eine Beendigung der Nutzung des betrachteten Fahrzeugs ermöglicht bzw. akzeptiert werden, und der Fahrer bzw. Nutzer des Fahrzeugs kann von seiner Verantwortung entbunden werden, wenn die Parkregeln gemäß dem Parkraummanagement an dem ermittelten Standort eingehalten sind. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren bzw. System ist innerhalb einer komplexeren Stadt also ein stationsunabhängiges Betreiben einer Pools oder einer Flotte von Fahrzeugen möglich, bei dem die Fahrzeuge des Pools bzw. der Flotte in der Stadt an verschiedenen Stellen abgestellt werden können, ohne mit den Parkregeln gemäß dem Parkraummanagement der Stadt in Konflikt zu geraten.Thus, cessation of use of the subject vehicle may be allowed and accepted, and the driver of the vehicle may be relieved of his responsibility if the parking rules according to the parking space management at the determined location are met. With the method or system according to the invention, therefore, a station-independent operation of a pool or a fleet of vehicles is possible within a more complex city, in which the vehicles of the pool or fleet in the city can be parked at different locations, without the park rules to conflict with the parking management of the city.
Damit eignet sich das Verfahren bzw. System besonders für die Betreiber eines Carsharing-Unternehmens oder einer Autovermietung in dieser Stadt, die in den Grenzen des vorgegebenen Parkraummanagements der Stadt ihren Kunden eine maximale Flexibilität bieten wollen. Die Miet- bzw. Nutzungsdauer kann durch den Nutzer nur beendet werden, wenn der Standort des betrachteten Fahrzeugs in dem oder in einem der Bereiche ermittelt wurde, in dem Parken zulässig ist. Damit lässt sich auch eine Nutzungsgebühr oder ein Mietpreis errechnen. Weiterhin kann eine Kulanz während einer Parkplatzsuche innerhalb eines Bereichs oder der Bereiche gewährt werden.Thus, the method or system is particularly suitable for the operators of a car sharing company or a car rental company in this city, who want to offer their customers maximum flexibility within the limits of the given parking space management of the city. The rental or service life can only be ended by the user if the location of the vehicle in question has been determined in or in one of the areas in which parking is permitted. This can also be used to calculate a usage fee or a rental price. Furthermore, a goodwill may be granted during a search for a parking space within an area or areas.
Nachdem die Miet- bzw. Nutzungsdauer des betrachteten Fahrzeugs wirksam beendet wurde, können in einem weiteren Schritt des Verfahrens bzw. durch das System verschiedene potentielle Nutzer oder interessierte Kunden benachrichtigt werden, dass das betrachtete Fahrzeug zur Verfügung steht. Dies bietet sich insbesondere für Nutzer oder Kunden an, die sich geografisch in der Nähe des ermittelten Fahrzeugstandortes befinden.After the rental or useful life of the considered vehicle has been effectively terminated, in a further step of the method or by the system, various potential users or interested customers can be notified that the vehicle in question is available. This is particularly suitable for users or customers who are geographically located in the vicinity of the determined vehicle location.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen beschrieben.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
Dabei können die Bereiche Parkzonen oder Straßen oder Straßenränder der Stadt sein. Deren Grenzen lassen sich einfach als Grenzen der Bereiche übernehmen und in der Datenverarbeitungseinheit abspeichern. Die Bereiche können auch Abschnitte von Straßen oder Abschnitte von Straßenrändern sein. Diese lassen sich einfach als Grenzen der Bereiche definieren.The areas may be parking zones or roads or roadsides of the city. Their limits can simply be accepted as boundaries of the areas and stored in the data processing unit. The areas may also be sections of roads or sections of roadsides. These can be defined simply as boundaries of the areas.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bzw. Systems erfolgen nach dem Schritt "Speicherung von mehreren geografischen Bereichen" ein Zuordnung von zumindest einem Heimatbereich zum Fahrzeug durch die Schritte:
- Zuordnung des Fahrzeugs zu zumindest einem der Bereiche; und
- Speicherung der Zuordnung in der Datenverarbeitungseinheit, insbesondere in der Datenbank.
- Assignment of the vehicle to at least one of the areas; and
- Storage of the assignment in the data processing unit, in particular in the database.
Durch die Heimatbereiche wird die Verteilung bzw. Streuung der Fahrzeuge in der Stadt verbessert oder vereinfacht: Nach einer Fahrt des Fahrzeugs außerhalb des oder der Heimaltbereiche muss seine Rückgabe in dem Heimatbereich oder in einem der Heimatbereiche erfolgen. Damit ist für einen nächsten Nutzer des Fahrzeugs unabhängig von seinem Aufenthalt (z.B. Wohnort) in der Stadt die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, dass sich ein Fahrzeug in der Nähe befindet. Bei einer Anwendung des Verfahrens bzw. Nutzung des Systems durch die Betreiber eines Carsharing-Unternehmens oder einer Autovermietung können gewisse Aktion nur in der Heimatparkzone erlaubt sein, z.B. Abstellen des Fahrzeugs und Nutzungsbeendigung.The home areas improve or simplify the distribution or dispersion of the vehicles in the city: After the vehicle has been driven outside the home or the rest areas, it must be returned in the home area or in one of the home areas. Thus, for a next user of the vehicle, regardless of his or her residence (e.g., place of residence) in the city, there is a high likelihood that a vehicle is nearby. In an application of the method or use of the system by the car sharing company or car rental operator, certain actions may be allowed only in the home park zone, e.g. Parking the vehicle and termination of use.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bzw. Systems hat die Schritte:
- a) Herausfahren des Fahrzeugs aus dem Heimatbereich oder aus einem der Heimatbereiche;
- b) vorzugsweise zeitnahe Übertragung eines Standortes, der sich außerhalb des zumindest einen Heimatbereichs befindet, von der Datenübertragungseinheit zur Datenverarbeitungseinheit;
- c) Hineinfahren des Fahrzeugs in den Heimatbereich oder in einen der Heimatbereiche;
- d) vorzugsweise zeitnahe Übertragung eines Standortes, der sich innerhalb des zumindest einen Heimatbereichs befindet, von der Datenübertragungseinheit zur Datenverarbeitungseinheit, wobei Schritte a) bis d) wiederholt werden können;
- e) Abstellen des Landfahrzeugs oder Beendigung der Nutzung im Heimatbereich oder in einem der Heimatbereiche; und
- f) Ermittlung einer Zeitdauer zwischen den Schritten d) und e) durch die Datenverarbeitungseinheit.
- a) moving the vehicle out of the home area or from one of the home areas;
- b) preferably timely transfer of a location that is outside the at least one home area, from the data transfer unit to the data processing unit;
- c) driving the vehicle into the home area or into one of the home areas;
- d) preferably, timely transfer of a location located within the at least one home area from the data transfer unit to the data processing unit, wherein steps a) to d) may be repeated;
- e) parking the land vehicle or ending use in the home area or in one of the home areas; and
- f) determination of a time duration between the steps d) and e) by the data processing unit.
Damit bietet das Verfahren bzw. das System den Betreibern eines Carsharing-Unternehmens oder einer Autovermietung die Möglichkeit, ein Einfahren in den Heimatbereich als Beginn einer Parkplatzsuche anzuerkennen und die Suchzeit - insbesondere teilweise - auf Kulanz abzurechen.Thus, the method or the system offers the operators of a car sharing company or a car rental the opportunity to recognize a drive into the home area as the beginning of a search for a parking space and the search time - especially in part - to settle for goodwill.
Der Schritt "Ermittlung eines Standortes" erfolgt vorzugsweise in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen oder ereignisgesteuert. Bei der Ermittlung des Standortes in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen können diese in Abhängigkeit von einer Fahrgeschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs oder in Abhängigkeit von der Nähe zu einer Grenze eines Bereiches oder eines Heimatbereiches variiert werden. Eine ereignisgesteuerte Ermittlung des Standortes kann z.B. nach Verlust des GPS-Empfangs (z.B. in einem Tunnel) erfolgen.The step "determination of a location" is preferably carried out at regular intervals or event-controlled. In determining the location at regular intervals, these may be varied depending on a vehicle speed or depending on the proximity to a boundary of an area or a home area. An event-driven determination of the location may e.g. after loss of GPS reception (e.g., in a tunnel).
Auch der darauf folgende Schritt "Übertragung des Standortes" erfolgt vorzugsweise ebenfalls in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen oder ereignisgesteuert. Bei der Übertragung des Standortes in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen können diese in Abhängigkeit von einer Fahrgeschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs oder in Abhängigkeit von der Nähe zu einer Grenze eines Bereiches oder eines Heimatbereiches variiert werden.The subsequent step "transmission of the location" preferably also takes place at regular time intervals or event-controlled. In the transmission of the location at regular intervals, these may be varied depending on a traveling speed of the vehicle or depending on the proximity to a boundary of an area or a home area.
Die Datenverarbeitungseinheit kann ein zentraler Server sein, und ortsfest (z.B. bei den Betreibern eines Carsharing-Unternehmens oder einer Autovermietung) oder in einem der Fahrzeuge des Pools angeordnet sein.The data processing unit may be a central server, and may be stationary (e.g., at the car sharing company or car rental operators) or located in one of the vehicles of the pool.
Oder die Datenverarbeitungseinheit ist dezentral in verschiedenen oder in allen Fahrzeugen des Pools angeordnet.Or the data processing unit is decentralized in different or in all vehicles of the pool.
Bei einer Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bzw. Systems ist die Standortbestimmungseinheit und/oder die Datenübertragungseinheit modular und kann zwischen den Fahrzeugen des Pools ausgetauscht werden. Dies erhöht die Flexibilität bei einem Austausch oder beim Werkstattaufenthalt von Fahrzeugen des Pools.In a development of the method or system according to the invention, the location determination unit and / or the data transmission unit is modular and can be exchanged between the vehicles of the pool. This increases flexibility in replacement or maintenance of vehicles of the pool.
Bei bevorzugten Anwendungsfällen ist das Fahrzeug ein Personenkraftwagen oder ein Lastkraftwagen oder ein Motorrad oder ein Fahrrad.In preferred applications, the vehicle is a passenger car or a truck or a motorcycle or a bicycle.
Wenn das Fahrzeug eine Authentifizierungseinheit - insbesondere einen Kartenleser - hat, können verschiedene Nutzer des Pools einfach identifiziert und verwaltet werden.If the vehicle has an authentication unit, in particular a card reader, different users of the pool can be easily identified and managed.
