Description
- The present invention relates generally to a communication arrangement in a vehicle unit and particularly to a vehicle unit having an integrated antenna.
- Today, transportation by vehicle requires measurement of parameters and information relating to the driver activities. This is not exclusively done to satisfy regulations regarding road transportation, but also for fleet management to measure and increase performance and efficiency, as well as for the purpose of electronic road tolling, monitoring vehicle or engine performance parameters, monitoring data relevant for special transports e.g. dangerous goods, livestock or refrigerated food etc. Therefore, most vehicles, such as lorry trucks, carry a Vehicle Unit (VU) to measure, store and possible also report the collected data. In this document, the term "Vehicle Unit" shall mean a digital unit capable of gathering information relating to the vehicle. Examples of such information may be a geographical location, driving hours, distance traveled, start time, finish time, rest time, driver name, starting location and finishing location, exhaust measurements, fuel consumption, temperature data from vehicle or cargo sensors, opening and closing of cargo doors or operation of other vehicle systems, e.g. cranes and lifts etc. One example of a VU is a digital tachograph, capable of recording and digitally compiling and storing the vehicle data.
- The VU is normally located in the cabin of the vehicle, where the VU is arranged in the instrument board, so that the vehicle operator may operate the VU in adjacency to start or stop of a journey. In order to calculate and estimate the speed and the travel distance, or other parameters for instance as listed above, of the vehicle, the VU is in connectivity to one or more sensors, where the sensors are capable of measuring for instance the motion of the wheels or other parameters.
- The VU may be used by law enforcement to check whether or not the driver complies with the driving regulations. Hence, the VU is normally heavily regulated and must be certified to high standards regarding functionality, safety and security. It is therefore complicated to make changes and to add new functions. An extensive certification procedure can considerably contribute to a long time to market for changes and new functions. Although a hardware and software integrated data off-load function is desirable, such solution may not be economically feasible due to the above mentioned regulation and certification restrictions.
- According to the prior art solutions, the data stored within the VU is offloaded to an external device by connecting a cable to a connection port. The term "offloading data" shall be understood to be the function when the VU transfers the stored vehicle data to an external device.
- The connection port is normally arranged, covered by an access panel, in a front end of the VU. When offloading the vehicle data, then the access panel is normally temporary removed to expose the connection port. Once the offloading operation is completed, the cable, connecting the external device to the connection port, is removed and the access panel replaced. This solution may be sub-optimal if a continuous data feed between the VU and the external device is desired. The physical arrangement exposes the VU of increased risk of damage due to physical breakage as the driver is moving around in the cabin of the vehicle. Moreover, the access panel needs to be removed during the data offloading procedure and thereafter restored in place.
- According to another prior art solution, the access panel may be removed and an external "dongle" may be connected to the connection port. The dongle, being powered by the connection port, may enable a wireless connection between the VU and an external device. However, connecting a dongle to the connection port also leaves the user with the access panel which is needed for other functionalities, such as printing. Moreover, since the dongle extends perpendicularly to the front end of the VU, the risk of physical damage, such as breakage in the connection of the connection port and the dongle, increases when the driver or a passenger moves around in the cabin of the vehicle. Further, in addition to being unaesthetic in general, extending portions of e.g. a dongle increases the risk of physical trauma to the driver during for instance an accident. The dongle may also be in the way of other equipment that needs to be accessed or visible by the driver during operation of the vehicle. Since "nomadic equipment" such as a removable dongle sometimes has to be removed from the VU and inserted again such use causes irritation especially if the dongle is forgotten or lost as a result of this handling. Removable equipment with contact surfaces is also prone to cause loose connection over time which will reduce functionality.
- Prior art document D1,
US20060103524 A1 , discloses a remotely monitorable shipping container comprising a door with a locking element, a wireless communicator operative to wirelessly transmit information to a remote monitor regarding the status of an electronic seal of the locking element. Prior art D2,US20080059701 A1 describes data transmission in an arrangement comprising a tachograph, between a first interface of the tachograph and a second interface of an external data memory. Prior art D3,US5537673 discloses a car stereo comprising a removable panel with a transmitter device. The panel can be used as a portable telephone which increases the likelihood of a user taking the panel when leaving the car, whereby theft of the car stereo can be prevented. Prior art document D4,WO03086819 A1 WO03067411 A1 - The current prior art solutions for achieving connectivity between the VU and an external device all have significant drawbacks. As previously discussed, add-on hardware increase the VU's exposure for physical trauma when the vehicle operator is moving inside the cabin.
- It is an object of the invention to address at least some of the limitations, problems and issues outlined above. It is also an object to provide a solution for enabling wireless communication between a vehicle digital tachograph and an external device. It may be possible to achieve these objects and others by using an arrangement as defined in the attached independent claim.
- The invention for which protection is sought is defined by the appended claims. Examples/aspects/embodiments not falling within the scope of the appended claims are not according to the invention and are present for illustration purposes only.
- According to the invention, a vehicle digital tachograph having a front end which comprises a connection port and a space. The space is covered by an access panel which comprises an integrated antenna. The integrated antenna is arranged to be connected to a processing unit and the integrated antenna is arranged to be connected, via the processing unit, to the connection port. The integrated antenna is further arranged to wirelessly send signals to and receive signals from an external device.
- Having the integrated antenna in the access panel enables retrofitting, i.e. the only part needed to be replaced is the access panel in order to enable wireless communication, compared to replacing the complete VU. Another advantage is that the access panel may be kept inserted and in a closed position enabling normal operation of the printer compared to removing the access panel to expose the connection port. Since the integrated antenna may enable wireless communication while the access panel is inserted, risk of breakage is reduced compared to if an antenna, or dongle, is connected directly to the communication port without any integration of the antenna.
- Further possible features and benefits of this solution will become apparent from the detailed description below.

Fig. 5 illustrates a block chart of a signaling scenario involving a Vehicle Unit (VU) and a User Equipment - In the following, a detailed description of the invention will be given:
-
Fig. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a Vehicle Unit ,VU, 1, the Vehicle Unit being adigital tachograph 1, for measuring, processing, storing or reporting collected vehicle data. The outer design and form factor of theVU 1 complies with standards in the field of tachographs such as e.g. ISO 7736. Thefront end 4 of the VU1 comprises anaccess panel 2 being in a closed position, i.e. wherein the access panel is closed, thereby covering aspace 6 for housing a printer, preferably aremovable printer module 8. TheVU 1 further comprises adisplay 3, afirst card tray 5 and a second card tray 5', and a first side end 4' to disclose the depth of theVU 1 in a direction perpendicular to thefront side 4. -
Fig. 2 discloses theVU 1 ofFig. 1 wherein theaccess panel 2 has been brought to an open position, i.e. wherein theaccess panel 2 is open. Behind theaccess panel 2, thespace 6 adapted to house theremovable printer module 8 is disclosed. Preferably, theaccess panel 2 is pivotally arranged on theremovable printer module 8 on the back side 2' of theaccess panel 2. On one side of the space 6 aconnection port 7 has been arranged, wherein the connection port is accessible from the front side of theVU 1 and the ports connection pins extend in a direction normal to the plane of the front side. Theconnection port 7 is covered by theaccess panel 2 when theaccess panel 2 is in a closed position. Theconnection port 7 is adapted for off-loading data stored in theVU 1 to an external device by connecting a cable between theconnection port 7 and an external device. The connection port may be a serial connection port. During offloading of data using a cable connection between the connection port and an external device, theaccess panel 2 including theremovable printer module 8 is removed entirely from thefront end 4 of theVU 1 in order to expose theconnection port 7. This may be done by a manual operation performed by for instance the driver of the vehicle, in a sequence of steps including first bringing theaccess panel 2 into an open position and thereafter pulling theaccess panel 2 in a direction normal to a plane of theaccess panel 2 and towards the driver. - According to one possible embodiment, the
connection port 7 may be a serial data interface, i.e. a serial port. Theconnection port 7 may typically be arranged such that information stored or processed within theVU 1, can be off-loaded to an external device. The usage and operation of serial ports exists in profusion in the prior art. -
Fig. 3 shows a front view of theVU 1, wherein the Figure shows a block chart of the components of theaccess panel 2 as well as the area covered by theaccess panel 2 when the access panel is in a closed position. For the purpose of transmitting vehicle data from theVU 1 and communicating to external devices without connecting a cable there between, theaccess panel 2 has been equipped with anintegrated antenna 14. Integration of theintegrated antenna 14 into theaccess panel 2 may be achieved by moulding the antenna into the material of theaccess panel 2, such as plastic, in a way that no portion of the antenna extends beyond the surface of theaccess panel 2, i.e. wherein the integrated antenna is arranged within the external surface of theaccess panel 2. The external surface of theaccess panel 2 means the outermost boundary of theaccess panel 2. Integration of theintegrated antenna 14 into the material such as plastic may also comprise moulding theantenna 14 into the material such that a portion of theantenna 14 is arranged inside the external surface of theaccess panel 2 and a portion of theantenna 14 is arranged to protrude from the external surface of theaccess panel 2. Integration of theintegrated antenna 14 into the material such as plastic of theaccess panel 2 may also comprise attaching an antenna onto and adjacent the surface of the access panel, preferably on a back side 2' of theaccess panel 2. The integrated antenna is preferably a short range antenna such as a Bluetooth antenna adapted to wirelessly send signals to, and receive signals from external devices located within or in close proximity of the vehicle. Theintegrated antenna 14 is further connected to aprocessing unit 9 for protocol processing or conversion wherein protocol processing or conversion comprises for instance protocol translation, tunneling, encapsulation, which will be described in further detail below in this description. Theprocessing unit 9 and theintegrated antenna 14 are further connectable to theconnection port 7 viacontact device 15. Theprocessing unit 9 is connected in series between theintegrated antenna 14 and theconnection port 7. Preferably, theprocessing unit 9 is integrated into the material of theaccess panel 2 together with theintegrated antenna 14 during the moulding process of theaccess panel 2. However, in a manner similar to that of theintegrated antenna 14, the integration of theprocessing unit 9 may also mean that theprocessing unit 9 is attached onto and adjacent the surface of theaccess panel 2. -
Fig. 4a shows a side view of theremovable printer unit 8 comprising theaccess panel 2 with theintegrated antenna 14 and acontact device 15 for connecting the integrated antenna to theconnection port 7, wherein thecontact device 15 is arranged at the lowermost portion of theaccess panel 2, preferably on the back side 2' of theaccess panel 2. The Figure further shows the access panel in an open position wherein theremovable printer unit 8 is removed from theVU 1. Further, aleft side wall 11 and alower surface portion 12 of theremovable printer module 8 is disclosed inFig. 4a . The access panel is pivotally arranged to theleft side wall 11 and a right side wall (not shown) of theprinter module 8, preferably by pins arranged on each side end of the back side 2' of theaccess panel 2 and adapted to engage two corresponding holes in the side walls enabling pivotal movement of theaccess panel 2 in relation to theprinter module 8. Aprinter roller 13 is pivotally arranged on theback side 21 of theprinter module 8 for feeding printer paper during print out of vehicle data. -
Fig. 4b shows theremovable printer module 8 arranged in thespace 6 withhousing walls 20 being integrated in theVU 1 and encompassing thespace 6, wherein theaccess panel 2 is in an open position. In this position, wherein the access panel has been rotated to its outermost position in a counterclockwise direction, thecontact device 15 is in a position such that there is a distance between thecontact device 15 and theconnection port 7, arranged in theVU 1 to the side of both thespace 6 and theprinter module 8, preferably in thehousing wall 20. In this position, there is no connection between theintegrated antenna 14 and theconnection port 7. -
Fig. 4c shows theremovable printer module 8 arranged in thespace 6 of theVU 1, wherein the access panel is in a closed position. In this position, the access panel has been rotated to its outermost clockwise direction wherein the lowermost portion of theaccess panel 2 is adjacent thelower surface 12 of theprinter module 8 and wherein theaccess panel 2 is essentially parallel to the plane of thefront side 4. As can further be seen in the Figure, theconnection port 7 has received thecontact device 15 of theaccess panel 2, such that there is a connection there between, i.e. that there is a connection between theintegrated antenna 14 and theconnection port 7. -
Fig. 4d shows a side view similar to that ofFig. 4c , wherein a cylindrically shapedpaper roll 17 is arranged between the side walls of theprinter module 8. Paper from thepaper roll 17 is guided from thepaper roll 17 towards the back of theVU 1, above and around theprinter roller 13, further extending below the lower portion of the printer module in a direction towards thefront side 4 of theVU 1 to finally extend outside thefront side 4 to be accessible by a driver printing out vehicle data. A printer of some kind, e.g. a ink jet printer, or thermal printer, is arranged at the inner most portion of the space 6 (not shown), and prints vehicle data on the paper at a position essentially as the paper passes theprinter roller 13. - With reference to
Fig. 5 , a block chart illustrating a signaling scenario involving aVU Fig. 5 shows avehicle 30 having aVU vehicle 30. TheVU 32 is in wireless communication connectivity with aUE 33. - According to one possible example, the
VU VU UE 33. According to one possible example, theVU VU more UEs 33. However, also other wireless technologies, such as Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) or Wireless Local Area Network LAN, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, 802.11, are also possible for enabling a wireless communication between theVU UE 33. - The communication using wireless interface formed between the
UE 33 and the integrated antenna of theVU Figs 2-4d , is a serial port having a serial communication physical interface which may require the processing unit, being connected to the integrated antenna, to process or convert, data to be sent, or which is received, to comply with theVU UE 33. - The
UE 33 may further be capable of receiving Global Positioning System, GPS, signals from one ormore satellites 36. TheUE 33 can thereby compile and structure information relating to thevehicle 30, provided by theVU UE 33 and theVU vehicle 30. - The
UE 33 may be capable of communicate using a Radio Access Network, RAN, comprising aBase Station 34. TheBS 34 can then communicate, using a Wide Area Network, such as Internet or a private WAN, such as a corporate network, with aback end server 35, which may comprise a fleet management system. TheUE 33 may also be adapted to communicate directly with aback end server 35 using a WAN or in certain situations a Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN. The latter may be preferable in a situation wherein the vehicle and theUE 33 is located or parked close to and using the WLAN of for instance a home office, goods terminal or at a customs station. In other words, theVU vehicle 30 to theUE 33 using the wireless interface between theVU UE 33. Then, theUE 33 may provide parts, or all, of the information relating to the operation of the vehicle to aback end server 35. Theback end server 35, according to one embodiment comprising a fleet management system may then, based on the provided information, help the vehicle operator to make decisions for a more efficient transportation.
