Abstract

The invention relates to a traffic accident documentation system consisting of one or more digital video cameras, one or more shock sensors and a data memory which continuously deletes the stored data after an adjustable time period after they are received. The continuous deletion process is halted by the stimulation of the shock sensor(s) until the storage capacity of the data memory is exhausted.

Description

Beschreibungdescription

Verkehrsunfall-DokumentationssystemTraffic accident documentation system

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verkehrsunfall-Dokumentationssystem, das aus einer oder mehreren Digital-Videocameras, einem oder mehreren Schocksensoren und einem Datenspeicher besteht.The invention relates to a traffic accident documentation system which consists of one or more digital video cameras, one or more shock sensors and a data memory.

Die Dokumentation eines Unfalls oder eines sonst relevanten Geschehens erfolgt regelmäßig statisch nach dem Ende des zu dokumentierenden Ereignisses. So werden Verkehrsunfälle regelmäßig durch die Verkehrspolizei aufgenommen, in dem durch Vermessungen von Abständen bestimmter Vorgänge, durch fotografische Aufnahmen der Unfallstelle und der beteiligten Fahrzeuge sowie durch Vernehmungen der beteiligten Personen Feststellungen getroffen werden. Derartige Aufnahmen werden unter Umständen auch durch die Beteiligten allein vorgenommen.The documentation of an accident or any other relevant event is carried out statically after the end of the event to be documented. Traffic accidents are regularly recorded by the traffic police by making determinations by measuring the distances between certain events, by taking photographs of the scene of the accident and the vehicles involved, and by interviewing the people involved. Such recordings may also be made by those involved alone.

Die vorbezeichneten Maßnahmen zur Dokumentation von Verkehrsunfällen haben den Nachteil, daß das Geschehen nur nachträglich dokumentiert und daraus nur mittelbar auf Ursachen des Unfallgeschehens Schlüsse gezogen werden können.The above-mentioned measures for documenting traffic accidents have the disadvantage that the events can only be documented retrospectively and conclusions can only be drawn indirectly from the causes of the accident.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der Unfalldokumentation sind vor allem bei Autobahnunfällen entstehende Stausituationen, die häufig zu weiteren, insbesondere Auffahrunfällen führen selbst dann, wenn das Unfallgeschehen schon längere Zeit zurückliegt.A further disadvantage of the accident documentation is, in particular, congestion situations which arise in the case of freeway accidents, which often lead to further, in particular rear-end collisions, even if the accident happened a long time ago.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Dokumentationsmethoden ist, daß die polizeiliche oder sonstige Aufnahme des Geschehens häufig zu lang dauernden Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Parteien und beteiligten Versicherungsgesellschaften sowie zu gerichtlichen Verfahren mit Sachverständigengutachten führen.Another disadvantage of the known documentation methods is that the police or other recordings of events often lead to long-lasting disputes between the parties and the insurance companies involved as well as to judicial proceedings with expert opinions.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die bekannten Nachteile der Dokumentation von Verkehrsunfallgeschehen zu überwinden. Die Lösung der Aufgabe wird in einem dynamischen Ver- kehrsunfall-Dokumentationssystem gesehen, das es ermöglicht, das Unfallgeschehen von dessen Beginn bis zu dessen Ende dynamisch festzuhalten, was die statische Dokumentation von Unfallgeschehen teilweise erübrigt oder jedenfalls in erheblichem Maße erleichtert und damit zeitlich verkürzt und den Eintritt nachfolgender Unfälle vermeidet oder weitgehend verringert.The object of the invention is to overcome the known disadvantages of documenting traffic accident events. The solution to the problem is seen in a dynamic traffic accident documentation system, which makes it possible to record the occurrence of an accident dynamically from its beginning to its end, which is what the static documentation of Accident events are sometimes dispensed with or at least considerably facilitated and thus shortened in time and the occurrence of subsequent accidents avoided or largely reduced.

Das erfmdungsgemäße Verkehrsunfall-Dokumentationssystem besteht aus einer Vorrichtung, mit der bekannte Komponenten, nämlich eine oder mehrere Digital- Videocameras, eine oder mehrere bekannte Schocksensoren mit einem bekannten Datenspeicher so kombiniert sind, daß die Digitalcamera oder -cameras mit der Einschaltung der Zündung eines Motorfahrzeuges das Verkehrsgeschehen um das Motorfahrzeug ständig aufnehmen und ständig an den Datenspeicher weiterleiten.The traffic accident documentation system according to the invention consists of a device with which known components, namely one or more digital video cameras, one or more known shock sensors are combined with a known data memory in such a way that the digital camera or cameras with the activation of the ignition of a motor vehicle Constantly record traffic events around the motor vehicle and constantly forward them to the data memory.

Vorzugsweise ist der Datenspeicher so eingerichtet, daß die von der Videocamera kontinuierlich gelieferten digitalen Daten durch eine veränderbare Steuerung nach einem eingestellten Zeitraum nach Empfang der Daten kontinuierlich wieder gelöscht werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß die Speicherkapazität eines solchen Datenspeichers außerordentlich gering sein kann, da sich ein festzuhaltendes Unfallgeschehen regelmäßig in Sekunden oder Minuten abspielt.The data memory is preferably set up in such a way that the digital data continuously supplied by the video camera are continuously erased again by a variable control after a set period of time after receipt of the data. This has the advantage that the storage capacity of such a data storage device can be extremely small, since an accident that is to be recorded regularly takes place in seconds or minutes.

Wesentlich für die Dokumentation eines Verkehrsunfallgeschehens ist erfindungsgemäß die Notwendigkeit, die kontinuierliche Löschung der Daten nach dem Unfall zu verhindern, was durch die Erregung eines oder mehrerer Schocksensoren vorgesehen ist, also die automatische Datenspeicherung bis zur Erschöpfung der Speicherkapazität des Datenspeichers fortgesetzt wird.Essential for the documentation of a traffic accident is, according to the invention, the need to prevent the continuous deletion of the data after the accident, which is provided by the excitation of one or more shock sensors, that is to say the automatic data storage is continued until the storage capacity of the data memory is exhausted.

Von Vorteil ist es, mehrere Videokameras so anzuordnen, daß das gesamte Umfeld des Fahrzeuges ständig erfaßt und auf dem Datenspeicher auf mehreren parallelen Speichersystemen gespeichert wird, also auch Kollisionen mit anderen Fahrzeugen vor, hinter oder seitlich des mit dem Dokumentationssystems ausgestatteten Fahrzeuges festgehalten werden.It is advantageous to arrange several video cameras so that the entire environment of the vehicle is constantly recorded and stored on the data memory on several parallel storage systems, i.e. collisions with other vehicles are recorded in front of, behind or to the side of the vehicle equipped with the documentation system.

Um zu vermeiden, daß bei einem Verkehrsunfall eine oder mehrere Videokameras des beteiligten Fahrzeuges beschädigt und damit die weitere Aufnahme des Unfallgeschehens verhindert wird, sind die Videokameras vornehmlich in den Fahrzeugholmen des Fahrzeuges oder an anderen geschützten Stellen angeordnet.In order to avoid that one or more video cameras of the vehicle involved are damaged in a traffic accident and thus prevent further recording of the accident, the video cameras are primarily arranged in the vehicle's vehicle spars or at other protected locations.

Je nach Art des Fahrzeuges ist es auch sinnvoll, den Blickwinkel der Videokameras entsprechend deren Aufgabe, das Umfeld des Fahrzeuges zu erfassen, verstellbar anzuordnen.Depending on the type of vehicle, it is also sensible to adjust the viewing angle of the video cameras according to their task of capturing the surroundings of the vehicle.

Da die automatische Löschung der Daten erst dann verhindert wird, wenn die Schocksensoren bei einer Kollision ansprechen, ist es vorteilhaft, die kontinuierliche Datenlöschung auch manuell, beispielsweise durch die Betätigung eines Druckknopfes an einem Multi- Funktionslenkrad des Fahrzeuges zu verhindern. Dies hat den Vorteil, auf diese Art und Wei- se auch Unfallgeschehen in unmittelbarer Umgebung des so ausgerüsteten Fahrzeuges festzuhalten selbst dann, wenn das Fahrzeug selbst nicht oder nur unwesentlich an dem Unfallgeschehen beteiligt ist, der Fahrer des so ausgestatteten Fahrzeuges aber eine Beteiligung nicht ausschließen kann.Since the automatic deletion of the data is only prevented when the shock sensors respond in the event of a collision, it is advantageous to also prevent the continuous deletion of data manually, for example by actuating a push button on a multifunction steering wheel of the vehicle. This has the advantage of se also to record accidents in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle equipped in this way, even if the vehicle itself is not or only marginally involved in the accident, but the driver of the vehicle equipped in this way cannot rule out involvement.

Es ist ferner von Vorteil, die Videokameras mit automatischen Entfernungsmessern auszustatten, um den Wechsel des Unfallgeschehens mit möglichst großer Bildschärfe festhalten zu können.It is also advantageous to equip the video cameras with automatic range finders in order to be able to record the change in the accident with the greatest possible image sharpness.

Die Bildwinkel der Videokamera sind vornehmlich so verstellbar eingerichtet, daß ein möglichst großer Winkel, bei der Verwendung mehrerer Filmkameras sich deckende Bildwinkel erfaßt werden können.The picture angles of the video camera are primarily set to be adjustable so that the largest possible angle, when using multiple film cameras, overlapping picture angles can be detected.

Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung wird auf ein in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel verwiesen.To further explain the invention reference is made to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Nach diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind fünf Videokameras 1 sowie zehn Schocksensoren 2 so angeordnet, daß die Videokameras mit Weitwinkelobjektiven die ganze Umgebung des Fahrzeuges bestreichen. Der Datenspeicher 3 mit Steuervorrichtung ist innerhalb der Fahrzeugzelle angeordnet, um gegen Beschädigungen möglichst gesichert zu sein. According to this embodiment, five video cameras 1 and ten shock sensors 2 are arranged so that the video cameras cover the entire area around the vehicle with wide-angle lenses. The data memory 3 with the control device is arranged inside the vehicle cell in order to be protected against damage as far as possible.
