Definitions
- This Invention consists of a safety device created for the transport scope of application in general, but specifically designed to deal with the problem of road accidents caused by heart disease of hauliers.
- This Invention consists of a control unit capable of real-time communication with systems of detection of the heartbeat, of the oxygen saturation in the blood or in general of the cardiac health, as well as with the vehicle on which this Invention is installed.
- this Safety Device intervenes on the vehicle so as to slow it down to the stopping point, to signal the state of danger and, at the same time, to alert rescue.
- This Invention represents, then, the focal point of a safety system based on the interaction among a device for monitoring cardiac health (worn by the driver), this Invention itself (installed on the vehicle) and the vehicle on which this Invention Device is installed.
- this Invention to provide with a device designed and calibrated in order to react to the eventual detection of anomalies such as relative tachycardia and slow heartbeat as well as in any other cases in which the cardiac frequency appears abnormal so as not to guaranteeing the full physical driving efficiency, so as to:
- this Invention provides with a device very cheap to produce, in order to favor its widespread diffusion.
- the low costs and simplicity of production allow, accordingly, undoubted and clear advantages both economically and in terms of environmental impact.
- the microcontroller (1) used on board the PCB is from Microchip, belongs to the "PIC32MZ" series and is programmed with the appropriate programmer to be inserted on the relevant strip.
- the board is equipped with a slot for a device for storing data, such as a "Micro SD" memory (2).
- a buzzer (3) i.e. an acoustic signaling device, also controlled by the central chip.
- Interaction with the network aimed to calling for rescue, takes place via network communication devices placed on board the hardware. Said devices use LTE connectivity by exploiting the cellular network, thus being able to interface using the classic tools of the mobile network (SMS, voice call).
- Interfacing may also take place through other tools, such as the TCP/IP and MQTT protocols, which allow communication with a remote server, or more generally with the internet.
- said LTE device (4) whose antennas are visible on the board in position 5, uses a Simcard, whose slot is visible on the board in position 6.
- Said LTE component can also establish communication with the GPS network.
- the Safety System is suitable for interacting with external monitoring devices through various communication systems.
- the board is equipped with a Bluetooth device (7), but it is designed for hosting a second Bluetooth device, whose slot is in visible on the board in position 8.
- This Invention processes the data received from the monitoring device with algorithms based on average data relating to the specific user and comparing these with statistical data of medical source. If the algorithm detects danger signals, it intervenes on the vehicle for the purposes described above.
- the hardware interacts with the body builder socket of the vehicle through seven outputs (9) and three inputs (10) compatible with 24 V logic. The inputs can receive a 0V - 24V signal, and the outputs, made by relay, provide a 0V - 24V logic signal.
- the inputs and outputs, present on the "J7" connector, whose slot is in position 11, are sent and received through a multi-purpose cable suitable for all needed types of connection.
- the power supply system of the motherboard (12) works with a voltage ranging from 12V to 24V for the correct operation of the relay outputs; the power supply is chosen based on the logic with which the device interfaces. There is also an ON/OFF switch (13) for turning on and off the device.
- the software developed for this Invention belongs to the category of "firmware", a category of software specifically designed for microcontrollers and responsible for the entire management of the hardware.
- the software is organized in cooperative functional modules that deal with: a. Configuring the microcontroller based on the hardware peripherals that said microcontroller shall manage; b. Configuring the communication peripherals; g. Managing communication on data lines through dedicated drivers; d. Managing communication with the outside world (input/output) and implement the intervention logics towards the vehicle; e. Implementing the monitoring and intervention algorithm in case of alarm. a.
- the configuration software modules deal with the configuration of the registers internal to the microcontroller, regulate the clock frequency, set the working speed of the communication peripherals, set the operation of the microcontroller pins with respect to both inputs and outputs.
- the communication management software modules operate as peripheral drivers and take care of managing the entire communication process towards the peripherals, which typically takes place asynchronously with other activities. Correct data management takes place through the implementation of send/receive buffers.
- the communication module with the wearable device for heart rate measurement and/or detection of oxygen saturation in the blood also manages the communication protocols.
- the control unit manages the double Bluetooth and ANT+ standard in order to have wide flexibility in interfacing devices with different performance and characteristics.
- the control algorithm is implemented according to a finite state machine model.
- the intervention logic is conditioned by the monitored data, which are processed with algorithms originating from medical sources in relation to the average data of the specific user, in order to recognize potential situations of danger to the driver's health. Any false alarm situations are reduced as the data produced by the algorithm are compared with statistical data obtained from significant samples.
- the software is able to intervene on the vehicle and send reports to a remote station.
- the intervention logic on the vehicle is adaptable to the different vehicles on which the control unit can be installed, because it occurs through the actuation of individually programmable relays.
- the software manages remote communication through a specific telephonic module. Communication takes place via dedicated protocols and can be adapted to different alarm collection centers.
- the software is capable of sending SMS or establishing communications over the TCP/IP network.
- FIG. 1 shows a top view of this Invention in relation to a first possible constructional layout; here follows an enumerative list of the reported components:
- LTE/GPS Module LTE/GPS device
- LTE/GPS Module LTE/GPS device antennas
- FIG. 2 shows a functioning scheme of this Invention in relation to a first possible construction layout, organized according to a logic having the Microcontroller (1) as its fulcrum.
- the bilateral arrows represent the communication between said Microcontroller (1) and the modules, as well as between the modules and the peripherals, according to the indicated guidelines:
- Microcontroller (1) receives the signal from the cardiac health monitoring peripheral/s
- the Microcontroller (1) communicates data to the SD Memory (2), that records such data;
- the Microcontroller (1) intervenes on the vehicle;
- the Microcontroller (1) emits an acoustic signal; furthermore, through the LTE/GPS module (4, 5, 6), the Microcontroller (1) contacts rescue.
- this Invention represents a sensitive innovation of the state of the art, presenting itself as a solution to issues unresolved so far; represents a low cost and low environmental impact device; it is suitable for a potentially total diffusion, being produced at low cost and easily usable by any user and, at the same time, easily installable on all types of vehicle, both for the transport of goods and for the transport of passengers; represents a useful safety device for all users of the road network and other areas of possible application, since heart disease often results in tragic events that may involve not only the driver but also third parties.
- This Invention may be modified by maintaining the inventive concept that underlies it, every detail being suitable for replacement with another technically equivalent.
