Description
[0001] Vehicle, server and procedure for accident documentation for a vehicle
[0002] The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a towing vehicle-trailer combination. The invention also relates to a server for connecting to a vehicle and a method for accident documentation for a vehicle.
[0003] The storage of camera data is known for the purpose of accident documentation in rear-end collisions involving passenger cars. Dashcams are typically used for this purpose. A dashcam is a camera that is typically used solely for the purpose of accident documentation. The dashcam is typically mounted on the windshield facing forward.
[0004] Commercial vehicles often face different accident scenarios than passenger cars. For example, many commercial vehicles are equipped with emergency braking assistants as standard, which can significantly reduce rear-end collisions.
[0005] For commercial vehicles, especially heavy commercial vehicles, especially tractor-trailer combinations, the following accident scenarios are more relevant: turning accidents (trailer following behind collides with infrastructure, car, pedestrian, cyclist); loss of control by the driver (swaggering, leaving the roadway, jackknifing of the vehicle combination); lane-changing accidents (length of the vehicle combination is underestimated); rear-end collision with a rear-end vehicle.
[0006] It is an object of the invention to improve accident documentation in a vehicle.
[0007] This object is achieved by a vehicle according to claim 1.
[0008] The vehicle can, in particular, be a tractor-trailer combination. The vehicle comprises a front camera, a mirror replacement system with at least one side camera, a rearview camera, and a control device. The control device is connected to the front camera and configured to capture an image signal from the front camera. The control device is connected to the side camera and configured to capture an image signal from the side camera. The control device is connected to the rearview camera and configured to capture an image signal from the rearview camera. The control device has a storage device, wherein the control device is configured to continuously record the image signal from the front camera, the image signal from the side camera, and the image signal from the rearview camera using the storage device.
[0009] With the vehicle according to the invention, an accident can be documented particularly comprehensively and advantageously with regard to various accident scenarios. In particular, cameras are integrated, which are often already provided on the vehicle.
[0010] With the introduction of the "General Safety of Vehicles Regulation" in the EU, a rear-view camera will be mandatory on a trailer of a towing vehicle-trailer combination, for example. Mirror replacement systems are becoming increasingly standard equipment in towing vehicles. As a result, many different cameras are often installed on the vehicle, and the various cameras can be advantageously integrated into accident documentation, largely without additional hardware.
[0011] Commercial vehicles and towing vehicle-trailer combinations, in particular, will be equipped with numerous cameras in the near future. The data provided by all these cameras can be advantageously recorded in the event of an accident or incident. These cameras cover a large part of the vehicle's surroundings. Additional cameras can also be easily integrated.
[0012] The front camera can preferably be integrated into a driver assistance system, in particular an autonomous driving system. The side camera is part of a mirror replacement system and, in particular, can replace an exterior mirror together with a screen that displays the image signal from the side camera to a driver of the vehicle. This proves particularly advantageous with regard to aerodynamics. The rearview camera is arranged in particular at the rear of the vehicle and is directed backwards, so that an area behind the vehicle can be made visible to the driver, especially when reversing.
[0013] According to one embodiment, the control device is configured to delete the recorded image signals from the storage device after a predetermined period of time. This allows storage space to be saved, and the storage device can be designed to be relatively small and thus cost-effective. Furthermore, it is often not even necessary to store the image signals for a very long time.
[0014] According to one embodiment, the vehicle comprises an accident detection device configured to detect an accident and subsequently output an accident signal. The control device is configured to detect the accident signal from the accident detection device and to retain at least one of the recorded image signals if an accident signal has been detected. This makes it particularly easy to ensure that an accident is reliably documented. Furthermore, the required memory size of the storage device can thus be kept small without compromising accident documentation.
[0015] According to one embodiment, the control device is configured to retain all recorded image signals if an accident signal has been detected. This makes it particularly easy to ensure that an accident is documented reliably and comprehensively.
[0016] According to one embodiment, the control device is configured to retain at least one specific one of the recorded image signals depending on the type of accident signal. This makes it particularly easy to ensure that an accident is documented in a targeted manner. Furthermore, the required memory size of the storage device can be easily kept to a minimum without unnecessarily impairing the accident documentation.
[0017] According to one embodiment, the accident detection device is configured to detect at least one of the following events: an emergency braking of the vehicle; an acceleration, in particular a longitudinal or lateral acceleration, above a threshold value; and a steering movement of a predetermined type. Based on these events, an accident can be easily detected with high accuracy. This allows accidents to be documented particularly well.
[0018] According to one embodiment, the storage device is a ring buffer. This embodiment allows for particularly efficient storage of the image signals.
[0019] For example, the vehicle may have a fourth camera positioned at the front of the vehicle and positioned perpendicular to the vehicle's direction of travel. Such a camera, together with a screen that displays an image signal from the fourth camera to the driver of the vehicle, can replace a so-called front mirror, for example. A front mirror provides an overview of the area directly in front of the vehicle, for example, the vehicle's bumper and the area immediately in front of the bumper.
[0020] According to one embodiment, the control device is connected to the fourth camera and configured to capture an image signal from the fourth camera. In this embodiment, the control device is also configured to continuously record the image signal from the fourth camera using the storage device. This allows an accident to be documented even more comprehensively and reliably.
[0021] The vehicle can, for example, be a towing vehicle-trailer combination, with at least one trailer camera, particularly one facing backwards, being mounted on the side of the trailer. Such a trailer camera can improve visibility during maneuvering by being integrated into the mirror replacement system.
[0022] According to one embodiment, the control device can be connected to the trailer camera and configured to capture an image signal from the trailer camera. The control device is configured, in particular, to continuously record the image signal from the trailer camera using the storage device. This allows an accident to be documented even more comprehensively and reliably. This object is also achieved by a vehicle according to claim 10. The vehicle described therein can, in particular, be a towing vehicle-trailer combination and comprises a front camera, a mirror replacement system with at least one side camera, a rear-view camera, and a control device. The control device is connected to the front camera and configured to capture an image signal from the front camera. The control device is connected to the side camera and configured to capture an image signal from the side camera.The control device is connected to the rear-view camera and configured to capture an image signal from the rear-view camera. The control device comprises a communication device for connecting to a remote server and is configured to transmit the image signal from the front camera, the image signal from the side camera, and the image signal from the rear-view camera to the remote server via the communication device.
[0023] The vehicle allows for particularly comprehensive and advantageous documentation of an accident with regard to various accident scenarios. Cameras, which are often already installed on the vehicle, are particularly advantageous. Another particularly advantageous feature is that the vehicle does not necessarily require its own storage device and that the image signals are stored independently of the vehicle. This allows for accident documentation, for example, in particularly serious accidents where a vehicle's storage device could be destroyed, or in the event of the entire vehicle being lost. Furthermore, server-side storage of the image signals simplifies centralized and, in particular, automated analysis of accident scenarios.
[0024] According to one embodiment, the vehicle comprises an accident detection device that is configured to detect an accident and subsequently output an accident signal. The control device is preferably configured to detect the accident signal from the accident detection device and to transmit the accident signal to the remote server via the communication device. This makes it particularly easy to ensure that an accident is reliably documented. Furthermore, the required memory size of the memory device can thus be kept small without impairing the accident documentation. In general, a vehicle according to the invention can be designed, for example, as follows. The vehicle can be, for example, a commercial vehicle, a truck (lorry), a passenger car (car), or a bus. The vehicle can be, for example, a road vehicle or a rail vehicle.The vehicle can, for example, be a single vehicle, a tractor for a tractor-trailer combination or a tractor-trailer combination.
[0025] The invention also relates to a server according to claim 12 for connection to a vehicle of the type described above. The server has a storage device and is configured to continuously record an image signal from a front camera, an image signal from a side camera and an image signal from a rear view camera of the vehicle by means of the storage device.
[0026] According to one embodiment, the server is configured to delete the recorded image signals from the storage device after a predetermined period of time. This allows storage space to be saved, and the storage device can be designed to be relatively small and thus cost-effective. Furthermore, it is often not even necessary to store the image signals for a very long time.
[0027] According to one embodiment, the server is configured to retain at least one of the recorded image signals if an accident signal has been communicated from the vehicle to the server. This makes it particularly easy to ensure that an accident is reliably documented. Furthermore, the required storage capacity of the storage device can be easily kept to a minimum without compromising accident documentation.
[0028] The object is also achieved by a method according to claim 15 for accident documentation for a vehicle. The vehicle is preferably designed as described above. The vehicle comprises at least one front camera, a mirror replacement system with at least one side camera, and a rearview camera. The method comprises: capturing an image signal from the front camera; capturing an image signal from the side camera; capturing an image signal from the rearview camera; continuously storing the image signal from the front camera, the image signal from the side camera, and the image signal from the rearview camera.
[0029] This method allows for particularly comprehensive and advantageous accident documentation, particularly with regard to various accident scenarios. In particular, it integrates cameras, which are often already installed on the vehicle.
[0030] For example, the method may include storing the image signals in a ring buffer. In the event of accident and / or collision detection (e.g., by acceleration sensors), approximately the last 10 seconds of the image signals may be stored in a non-volatile memory.
[0031] For example, the method may include that activation of at least one control system (ESP, RSS, ABS, etc.) of the vehicle causes permanent storage of the image data.
[0032] For example, the method may include an emergency braking initiated by a driver of the vehicle causing permanent storage of the image signals.
[0033] For example, the method may include an acceleration pulse in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction causing permanent storage of the image signals.
[0034] For example, the method may include a steering movement of a predetermined type, such as a “wild” steering maneuver, causing the image signals to be permanently stored.
[0035] The image signals can be stored, for example, as follows: The image signals can be stored in a storage device within the respective vehicle. The image signals can be stored centrally in a storage device of a towing vehicle, with cameras mounted on the trailer sending their image signals to the towing vehicle via an interface, such as an Ethernet communication interface or "truck-trailer link." The image signals can be stored on a remote server, such as in the cloud. Other types and combinations of locations are possible.
[0036] The image signals can be stored selectively, for example, in the event of a side impact, only the image signals from the corresponding camera can be stored permanently.
[0037] The methods described herein can advantageously be developed analogously using the embodiments and individual features of the devices, and vice versa. The described vehicle server solutions can be developed analogously using the embodiments and individual features of the pure vehicle solutions, and vice versa.
