DE19600099A1 - Enhanced automated vehicle tachograph analogue monitoring and recording appliance - Google Patents

Abstract

A measurement unit i.e. kilometer meter, is coupled to the tachometer drive of the vehicle with provision for setting the start and finish of the journey. The appliance includes a code input unit (C), a recorder or store unit (S) and an evaluation terminal (A) or evaluation device (AG). The evaluation of the stored data can be printed out in a continuous record of the individual journeys with their associated code numbers or the code number reference. The kilometer meter can be combined with the vehicle ignition system.

Description

The object of the invention is to create a reinforced automated tamper-proof logbook analogs Control or recording device - especially for Proof of private and business trips.

Automatic tamper-proof electronic odometer are known - also continuous tachographs.

The evaluation of these known devices with regard to Allocation of individual routes for a specific purpose however, this is associated with inconvenient handling, e.g. B. Keeping a logbook or evaluating one Tachograph disc, with which at the same time Manipulation opportunities arise.

The invention lies in the creation of a device with of a certain route in a simple way simultaneously and identical with an indication of purpose or start and destination can be provided together with the associated measured route in the current order of travel combined is expressible.  

Here is at the beginning of a route to be counted Start signal and an end signal at the end of the route trigger in a keyboard on the dashboard. Thereby interferes with stopping while driving not the measurement. In particular, the initial and End signal also with the switching on and off of the Ignition key or the ignition can be coupled, wherein for Intermediate stops on a routine route Code names or separate code names can be used.

According to the invention, this can be done for the or each A code is used for the purpose of the trip. D. H. for certain recurring driving purposes a different code, these code details on the keyboard with display on Dashboard can be entered by the driver. This assignment to the respective route can be before or after Start signal or during the current route respectively; with retroactive labeling, this must be as such are automatically marked. The respective is a sequence of codes added to successive routes cannot be manipulated in the order.

The individual purposes in this way continuously in succession assigned routes are routed on a route Memory, in particular electronic memory added and z. B. monthly or yearly an evaluation unit, if necessary, under witnesses, e.g. B. at a gas station in the form of e.g. B. a diary-like Listing printable, including the codes assigned text from an associated text specification in Memory can be printable.  

The evaluation can also be carried out by a sworn state Places, for example at the TÜF. These places can also do any device and any recording assignable cars, possibly in the memory fixed identification number (chassis number) insert or print out from memory Check it with the vehicle documents so that the Registration maximum credibility with the Owns fiscal authorities.

The inventive method and the device therefor can also subsequently, d. H. with for a long time vehicles running or in operation can be retrofitted.

The vehicle's own Clock or preferably the signals of a built-in radio controlled clock.

If more than one person uses the vehicle assigned a personal code to each person be also on the keyboard on the dashboard can be entered or with on the driver's license intended, e.g. B. bar coding or the like Storage is entered.  

According to the arrangement scheme E shown there is recording device according to the invention from a Measuring unit M, d. H. an odometer with setting the start and end point of the route, one Coding or a code input unit C with display D and keyboard T, a storage unit S and one Evaluation connection A or evaluation device AG, which for the evaluation process in its simplest way fixed position on the vehicle removable and on external evaluation device AE can be connected and its Expression protocol P is continuous.

The measuring or counting unit M is directly from the Tachometer shaft W or with electronic tap G from Wheel R of the vehicle F driven.

Similar to the combination of the facility with the The ignition function described above can also be a Combination with the electric seat belt control to differentiate between "stop while driving" and "stop with Leaving the vehicle "can be used. The same applies for other suitable signal options.

Claims (4)

1. Facility for simplified control or Recording of routes in combination with the Assignment of the marking of departure and destination or the purpose of the individual routes with a coupled with the speedometer cable of the vehicle Measuring unit (M) d. H. with an odometer Setting the start and end point of the Route, a code input device (C), one Recording or storage unit (S) and one Evaluation connection (A) or an evaluation device (AG). 2. Device according to claim 1, in which the Recording or storage unit (S) with the Evaluation connection from the device (E) for the purpose separate evaluation is removable. 3. Device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized characterized that the evaluation of her stored data in uninterrupted Order of the individual routes with this assigned code number or code number meaning combined printable enables. 4. Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the measuring unit (M) with the Vehicle ignition is combined.
