Definitions

  • the invention is based on a driver information system for issuing instructions to a driver of a vehicle.
  • driver information systems are known in various forms, namely, for example in the form of vehicle navigation systems, which determine a route from the location to the destination after entering a destination and determining a current vehicle location based on data representing a traffic route and the driver along with acoustic or visual directions lead this route.
  • a method for traffic sign recognition in a motor vehicle in which in the environment of the motor vehicle existing traffic signs detected and determined based on a predetermined criterion, whether a detected traffic sign for a current driving situation of the motor vehicle is valid and wherein the output of the traffic sign in dependence on the Result of this determination is made or suppressed.
  • This is particularly important if there are a plurality of traffic signs in the surroundings of the vehicle, but only a part of which is relevant to the current driving situation of the vehicle, for example because certain traffic signs are located exclusively on adjacent or turning lanes Set up vehicles.
  • a so-called aging state is assigned to a detected traffic sign and the output of the traffic sign information is controlled as a function of the aging state.
  • the aging state can be dependent in particular on the content of the traffic sign and on the driving position of the vehicle. Furthermore, it can be provided that the contents of traffic signs recognized as irrelevant for a current driving situation are not output to the driver.
  • the invention with the features of the independent claims has the advantage that the output of traffic signs to a driver of a vehicle, hereinafter also drivers, during routine trips is limited. This reduces information or sensory overload of the vehicle driver by issuing indications of unchanged traffic regulations, which are known to the vehicle driver on the basis of his routine, and thus with little or no added information for the driver. At the same time, the driver's attention to changing traffic regulations is increased.
  • a method for informing a vehicle driver of a vehicle in which traffic signs present in the surroundings of the vehicle are detected, in which a current driving situation is evaluated as to whether it is a routine trip, in which at least one predetermined criterion is evaluated whether a detected traffic sign in the current driving situation for the driver is of interest and in which an output of an indication of the traffic sign to the driver is made or suppressed depending on the result of these reviews.
  • the invention is based on the finding that the driver is aware of the traffic regulations existing on the route to be traveled on routine trips unless they are changed.
  • a routine trip is carried out according to the invention via a routine well known to the driver, such as the route from the place of residence to the workplace.
  • the driver is the current traffic regulations familiar and references to these traffic regulations would therefore have little or no information added value for the driver.
  • the issuance of indications of traffic regulations is therefore preferably restricted to changed traffic regulations during routine trips according to a first criterion.
  • a change of traffic regulations can be done by a comparison with stored in a database to respective location positions traffic regulations.
  • a database is usually present in the form of a so-called digital map in commercial vehicle navigation systems. This comprises information representing a traffic route or road network in the form of sections with respectively assigned attributes. These attributes include, among other things, information about traffic regulations such as speed limits, directional lanes, one-way streets and much more.
  • the output of instructions can also be controlled as a function of a control content of the detected traffic sign as a further criterion, in particular taking into account a current driving situation.
  • a reference to, for example, a newly established stopping prohibition need only be issued when the speed of the vehicle is reduced and from this to a standstill and an intentional stopping of the vehicle can be closed. Accordingly, further embodiments for different traffic signs or their control contents are conceivable and recommended.
  • a routine route is understood here as a journey which is repeated by the vehicle, for example at least for the third time, preferably repeatedly within a predetermined period of time, for example for the third time within a week or for the fourth time within a month.
  • the evaluation of the driving situation and the current time preferably including the time and date taken into account.
  • This is based on the consideration that a late evening or night ride on a routine route, for example, on the regular route from the place of residence to the workplace, not necessarily a routine trip, because the external circumstances deviate from the routine.
  • this routine route is used in the autumn or at twilight or at night, that is to say with increased debris exchange, the driver of this traffic sign can be recalled by a note in the consciousness.
  • this indication is issued to the vehicle driver for a certain number of repeated trips, more preferably for a certain number of trips within a certain period, under these conditions and, subsequently, on subsequent trips, the output is suppressed due to the assumption of a routine trip.
  • FIG. 1 a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the driver information system 10 according to the invention is shown, which is adapted to situation-dependent information to a driver of a vehicle 1, hereinafter driver to spend.
  • the driver information system 10 is arranged for this purpose in the vehicle.
  • the driver information system includes a detection unit 2 configured to detect traffic signs 311, 312, 331, 351, 371, 391 in an environment of the vehicle 1.
  • the detection unit 2 comprises an optical recording system 21, hereinafter also camera 21, whose viewing direction is preferably aligned at least approximately parallel to the direction of travel 11 of the vehicle 1.
  • the camera 21 is arranged, for example, in the interior of the vehicle 1 directly behind the windshield, for example in the region of the interior rear-view mirror.
  • the camera 21 has a lens system 24, which has a preset image angle 25 of, for example, 180 degrees. In order for the optical pickup system 21 detects the part of the environment of the vehicle 1, which lies in the direction of travel 11 in front of the vehicle 1.
  • the angle of view of the lens system 24 of the optical pickup system 21 is electrically adjustable. This makes it possible to "zoom in on" objects, ie by enlarging the focal length and thus reducing the angle of view 25 of the lens system 24 to increase the image of a distant object on an image sensor of the optical recording system and thus to achieve a higher resolution of the recorded image of the removed object , It is also possible to adapt the optical axis, that is to say the viewing direction of the lens system 24, as the image angle is reduced and thus to align it with a specific object.
  • the detection unit 2 further comprises an image memory 22 and a detection unit 23.
  • the detection unit 23 is configured to provide images of the surroundings of the image provided by the optical recording system 21 Compare vehicle 1 with stored in the image memory 22 images or patterns of traffic signs. If a traffic sign is recognized in the recorded image on the basis of the image or pattern comparison, information about the detected traffic sign, for example a number of the traffic sign according to the official traffic sign catalog VzKat according to the Highway Code, for example number 276 for a passing ban for motor vehicles of all kinds, number 142 for hazard warning on possible deer, possibly supplemented by the specific regulatory content, for example, number 274 for a maximum permissible speed supplemented by the value of the maximum permissible speed 60 km / h, generated and output.
  • the recognition of traffic signs from recorded images is familiar to the expert and therefore does not require a detailed description.
  • the driver information system 1 further has a first evaluation module 5, which is set up and configured to determine whether or not a current trip of the vehicle 1 is a routine trip.
  • the existence of a routine trip can be concluded, for example, when a particular route 3 is covered again and thus represents a routine route.
  • a routine trip is concluded when a particular route 3 is repeatedly traveled within a certain period of time, for example the third time within a week or the fourth time within one month. It is further preferred to conclude a routine trip if a specific route 3 is repeated again and within a certain period of time and at a specific time of day, For example, 3 times a week, between 7 and 8:30 clock in the morning, is driven.
  • traffic signs that are of little or no interest to the vehicle driver in the routine routines outlined above may become significant. This is important, for example, when a routine route is used in the evening twilight or at night, especially in autumn.
  • traffic sign number 142 deer, may be of great interest to the driver when, for example, the route is traveled for the first time under these deviating conditions.
  • traffic signs number 114 the risk of skidding or slipping if a routine route is traveled for the first time in heavy rain or in snowfall or low outside temperatures in the range of 0 ° C.
  • the first assessment module 5 has a first evaluation element 51 which evaluates position information about a current vehicle location from a position determination unit 41 and compares this with travel data of past vehicles stored in a travel route memory 52.
  • the travel route data of past journeys may include, for example, respective sequences of position data of past journeys, sequences of traveled route sections of the past journeys, or even entire routes of past journeys, which may, for example, be taken over from the navigation system.
  • the evaluation element 51 receives information about a current time from a clock 53 and preferably also information about a current date from a calendar 54.
  • the position determination unit 41 can advantageously be part of a vehicle navigation system 4 and in a conventional manner for position determination radio signals of a satellite positioning system, such as GPS or Galileo, evaluate or preferably additionally rely on vehicle sensors or additional inertial sensors.
  • the vehicle navigation system 4 can advantageously be embodied in the form of a navigation module as part of the driver information system 10 or vice versa.
  • the evaluation module 5 is also supplied with information about ambient conditions, such as, for example, an outside temperature, atmospheric humidity or precipitation. Sensors for such information are widely available in vehicles today to display a vehicle outside temperature and smoothness warning falls below a threshold temperature of 3 or 4 ° C or to implement a windshield wiper mechanism, which automatically activates the windshield wiper when detected precipitation.
  • ambient conditions such as, for example, an outside temperature, atmospheric humidity or precipitation.
  • the driver information system 10 further comprises a further evaluation module 6, which is designed to evaluate, based on a predetermined criterion, whether a detected traffic sign in the current driving situation is of interest to the vehicle driver.
  • a traffic sign detected by the detection unit 2 for example a specific traffic sign, causes a change in the current vehicle position in comparison to a stored traffic control.
  • the first evaluation element 61 accesses a database 42 in which local traffic regulations are assigned there.
  • a database 42 is regularly part of a vehicle navigation system or in this case of the navigation module 4.
  • location positions are assigned assigned traffic route sections and traffic regulations. This information is used to determine a route from one location to a user-specified destination and continue to guide the driver along the calculated route with route guidance instructions.
  • the criterion of a changed traffic control can be considered fulfilled, namely, if no traffic sign or no traffic regulation is detected by the detection unit at a traffic regulation contained in the database 42 at the associated location.
  • This may be the case, for example, if a maximum speed is recorded in the database 42 because the map data was acquired at a time when construction work was being carried out on the line section and this speed limit was lifted after completion of the construction work.
  • the output of instructions can also be controlled as a function of a control content of the detected traffic sign as a further criterion, in particular taking into account a current driving situation.
  • a reference to, for example, a newly established stopping ban need only be issued when the speed of the vehicle is reduced and from this to a standstill and an intentional stopping of the vehicle can be closed. Accordingly, further embodiments for different traffic signs or their control contents are conceivable and recommended.
  • the further evaluation module in addition to the first evaluation element 61, has a further evaluation element 62, which evaluates detected traffic signs for their validity for the current driving situation of the vehicle.
  • a further evaluation element 62 which evaluates detected traffic signs for their validity for the current driving situation of the vehicle.
  • the second evaluation element checks whether a detected traffic sign is valid for a current driving situation of the motor vehicle and suppresses the output of an indication of the traffic sign if this is not recognized as being valid for the current driving situation.
  • the driver information system also has an output unit 8, via which instructions are output to a vehicle driver as acoustic signals 81 and / or as optical display 82.
  • acoustic signals are in particular voice over the regulatory content of traffic signs into consideration, such as in the form of "maximum speed limit 60 km / h in 100 meters” or "caution game change".
  • an optical display 82 is, for example, the display of traffic signs according to or based on the official traffic sign catalog VzKat according to road traffic regulations on a display or as reflection in the windshield or the like into consideration.
  • Optical and acoustic output can complement each other.
  • the driver information system 1 furthermore has a control module 7, which is designed to control the output or suppression of an indication via the output unit 8 as a function of the result of the evaluations of the first evaluation module 5 and the further evaluation module 6.
  • the vehicle 1 is initially at the position 30 on the road 3.
  • the road 3 is in the illustrated direction 11 again in a certain period of time traveled. For example, it is the way from the workplace to the residence of the driver.
  • the detection unit 2 detects in the direction of travel 11 in front of the vehicle, namely at position 31 located traffic signs 311 and 312, namely a speed limit to 60 km / h and a passing ban. Both traffic regulations have been installed there for a long time, are valid for the vehicle 1 and are intended to ensure driving safety on the following, curvy section of the route. Since there is no change in the traffic control, there is no issue of a note to the driver. It is assumed that the driver is aware of this traffic regulation because of his routine.
  • the detection unit 2 detects the traffic sign 331, number 282 located at the preceding position 33, the end of all distance-related speed restrictions and overtaking bans.
  • This traffic sign 331 is known and unchanged, so there is no hint issue.
  • a construction site 352 has been set up on Friday at position 36.
  • a traffic sign 351 namely a speed limit of 60 km / h and its cancellation 371 at position 37 behind the construction site 352.
  • the vehicle On the following Monday, the vehicle first passes the position 34 on the way home from the workplace to the place of residence.
  • the detection unit 2 detects the traffic sign 351. This is recognized as valid for the current driving situation, here the direction of travel 11 on the road 3 in general.
  • the traffic sign 351 is not yet noted in the database 42 at the position 35, thus it is a change in the traffic control for this location position or the track section 34 following this location position.
  • a traffic sign 391 is set up, which indicates the risk of debris. If, for example, the vehicle 1 arrives at position 38 in the summer at 17:00 to 18:00 at the position at which the shield 391 is detected by the detection unit 2, an indication of the traffic sign 391 is suppressed since it is of little significance in this driving situation is. Wilderness is not expected at this time and the then prevailing light conditions in the summer.
