Benefits of technology

The patent is about a way to alert a car when it's approaching a rail vehicle. The method and system don't require any extra hardware, which means it can be easily integrated into existing train and car systems.

Problems solved by technology

In the case of decentralized processing of the position data of the at least one level crossing in the rail vehicle and / or in the motor vehicle, ensuring that all position data in all rail vehicles and motor vehicles are always up to date is laborious and difficult to check.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The single FIGURE shows a level crossing 10. A rail network 12 and a road network 14 intersect at the level crossing 10. At least one rail vehicle, in this case a train 16, moves along or in the rail network 12. At least one motor vehicle, in this case a car 18, in particular a passenger car, moves along or in the road network 14. Collisions between the train 16 and the car 18 can occur at crossings between the rail network 12 and the road network 14 characterized by the level crossing 10.

[0020]In order to be able to warn the driver of the car 18 of a collision with the train 16, a system is provided comprising the car 18 and a superordinate electronic computing device 20 arranged externally of the vehicle. In particular, the electronic computing device 20 is a computing device of the Internet, in particular a cloud device. The electronic computing device 20, which may in particular be a server device, is schematically marked with a box in the single FIGURE. The electronic com...

Abstract

A method for warning a motor vehicle of a collision with a rail vehicle, in which, using an electronic computing device arranged externally of the vehicle, first movement data of the rail vehicle, which characterize a position and / or a speed of the rail vehicle, are received from a sensor device permanently installed in a rail network and / or are determined as a function of an electronic timetable. A hazardous situation is determined as a function of the first movement data and position data of at least one level crossing, which position data characterize a position of the level crossing. A hazard information signal, which can be called up by the motor vehicle and characterizes the hazardous situation, is provided for the motor vehicle as a function of the hazardous situation.

Description

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0001]Exemplary embodiments of the invention relate to a method and a system for warning a motor vehicle of a collision with a rail vehicle.[0002]DE 10 2005 046 875 A1 discloses a railway warning device for warning road users of the approach of railway vehicles towards danger zones. The railway warning device comprises proximity signal units, which can be installed in railway vehicles for transmitting a proximity warning signal by radio directly or indirectly to other road users. Furthermore, the railway warning device comprises a warning signal device for installation in vehicles of other road users that are equipped to receive the proximity warning signals. The proximity signal device has access to a current location position of the railway vehicle and a list with location positions of danger zones. The proximity signaling device can emit the proximity warning signal depending on the location position of the next danger zone in the list. The ...
