Description

The invention relates to a mobile system for providing an emergency suitcase, which can be moved on a support frame along a guard rail of a roadway.

In critical situations on the road, especially on highways, medical assistance will be provided by road-bound vehicles, e.g. Ambulances, or air vehicles, e.g. Rescue helicopter, allows. However, it often takes valuable time until the arrival of medical help, as it is only a few kilometers away, must first be alerted and then traffic or weather conditions not as fast as needed reaches the place of emergency. This particularly concerns devices which must be available in a very short time, e.g. Defibrillators. It is therefore desirable and object of the invention to provide emergency medical care facilities in a shorter period of time than is conventional.

This object is achieved by a mobile system having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 7. Further advantageous embodiments and embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the figures and the embodiments. The embodiments of the invention can be combined with each other in an advantageous manner.

A first aspect of the invention relates to a mobile system for providing a medical emergency box in the area of a protective barrier with a roadside front side and a rear side facing away from the roadway, comprising a carrier frame with at least one first wheel bearing, in which a first wheel is arranged, at least one second wheel bearing, in a second wheel is arranged, wherein at least one of said wheels is driven by means of an engine connected to a power source, the emergency case, and at least one control device adapted to receive remotely instructions and to issue corresponding control commands to the engine.

The system according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to provide the possibility of rapid medical care in the environment of the roadway. The road is particularly a highway that is equipped over long distances with a continuous guardrail. The position of a transmitter sending an instruction is determined, for example, by GPS, after which the data is sent to the mobile system, which then moves to the location of the transmitter. Particularly advantageous is the system for providing first aid in the case of an accident of one or more vehicle with personal injury or in the case of another, e.g. cardiological condition of a vehicle occupant suitable. In addition, the mobile system can also be used to provide jump start.

The terms "up" and "down" are to be understood in relation to the mobile system and the safety barrier so that with "up" means the direction away from a lane and directed "down" to the lane.

Preferably, the engine of the mobile system is an electric motor. The energy source is advantageously an accumulator for providing electrical energy.

Preferably, the support frame of the mobile system in the region of the first wheel bearing is designed such that, viewed from the front of the guard rail, it engages behind the upper edge of the guard rail and contacts the back of the guard rail with the first wheel. In this way, the support frame is reversibly attached to the guard rail, being movable by the first wheel along the guard rail parallel to the roadway.

Preferably, the second wheel of the mobile system is arranged in the central region of the support frame to be in contact with the front of the guardrail. In this way, a distance of the support frame is ensured to the guardrail, and at the same time a movement along the guard rail parallel to the road. The engine may be connected to one or both wheels to drive them and thus to ensure the movement of the mobile system. The system is not limited to two wheels. For stability and movement of the system, the support frame may also comprise more than two wheels.

The energy source of the mobile system is preferably an electrical accumulator which can be charged at a charging station in the area of the protective barrier by means of cable connection or induction. For this purpose, the accumulator has corresponding connection devices such as plugs or charging cables and / or induction coils.

The emergency case preferably has a device for telemedical treatment. This is understood to mean devices which enable a user of the emergency suitcase to be instructed by specialist medical personnel, eg a doctor or paramedic. A corresponding device includes, for example, a screen for visualizing text or video messages for telemedical treatment and a speaker and a microphone for verbal communication. This is advantageous, for example, for guidance when using a defibrillator. It is also preferred if a defibrillator is present in the emergency case. This is advantageous because when cardiac problems occur, rapid action is often required and conventionally a defibrillator is not readily available in the area of a highway. As defibrillators advantageously automated defibrillators are provided, which can be operated in an emergency by medical laymen.

• - Senden einer Anweisung an das System, sich zu einem Ort zu bewegen, an dem der Notfallkoffer benötigt wird,
• - Starten der Bewegung des Systems in Richtung des Ortes, wobei sich das System in analoger Weise zu einem Schienenfahrzeug entlang der Schutzplanke bewegt,
• - Stoppen der Bewegung des Systems, wenn der Ort erreicht ist,
• - Entnahme und Öffnen des Notfallkoffers vom Trägergestell des Systems.

A second aspect of the invention relates to a method for using a mobile system according to the invention, comprising the steps:

• Sending an instruction to the system to move to a location where the emergency kit is needed,
• Starting the movement of the system in the direction of the location, whereby the system moves in an analogous manner to a rail vehicle along the guard rail,
• - stopping the movement of the system when the place is reached,
• - Removing and opening the emergency case from the support frame of the system.

The advantages of the method correspond to the advantages of the mobile system.

Preferably, in the method, the instruction is issued from a command device in a vehicle. In other words, in a vehicle, e.g. a vehicle with a person affected by a medical emergency on board, a device arranged by means of which a signal is sent is sent to the mobile system. The instruction also sends location information, e.g. GPS data to steer the mobile system in the right direction. The signal can be sent directly to the mobile system. The mobile system can also be part of a network in which several systems are housed. Then the signal from the vehicle is sent to the network and set according to the location of the nearest system to the vehicle in motion.

Preferably, in the method, the instruction may also be issued from a mobile telephone. For this, e.g. a special app can be installed on the phone.
