Abstract

The invention relates to a system and method for automatic navigation. This is made possible by the fact that a topographically correct map in digitised form is carried on an inexpensive optical mass storage device on board the vehicle and location finding is carried out by suitable transmitters. The system displays a current section of the map visually on a screen or acoustically. Start-destination paths can be determined by a computer and represented in the system in such a manner that the driver is continuously provided with guidance information.

Description

Automatisches Navigationssystem für Land- und WasserfahrzeugeAutomatic navigation system for land and water vehicles

Beschreibung Navigationssysteme für Land- und Wasserfahrzeuge nutzen bisher ortsfeste Orientierungen (z.B. Peilstationen, Markierungen).Description Use navigation systems for land and water vehicles Previously fixed orientations (e.g. DF stations, markings).

Diese müssen infrastrukturell vorgegeben werden, wenn es gelingen soll, eine sichere Navigation für breite Fahrzeuggruppen zu ermöglichen. Demgegenüber bietet das "Automatische Navigationssystem für Land- und Wasserfahrzeuge" den wichtigen Vorteil, daß derartige infrastrukturelle Vorgaben nicht mehr notwendig sind. Dadurch, daß im Fahrzeug eine digitalisierteRmaßstabsgerechte Karte mitgeführt wird und ein Rechner die von geeigneten Gebern übertragenen Werte über die Eigenbewegung des Fahrzeugs auswertet, kann - ausgehend von einem in den Rechner eingegeben Startort - der genaue Weg des Fahrzeugs unmittelbar auf der Karte verfolgt werden. Bei Landfahrzeugen ergibt sich aus dem Umstand, daß nur Straßen befahren werden können automatisch eine Korrekturmöglichkeit, sodaß kleine Fehler in der Bestimmung der Fahrzeugbewegung über den Rechnern regelmäßig ausgeglichen werden können (z.8. immer dann, wenn das Fahrzeug eine Kurve fährt).These must be given in terms of infrastructure if they are successful is intended to enable safe navigation for large groups of vehicles. In contrast the "Automatic navigation system for land and water vehicles" offers the most important The advantage that such infrastructural specifications are no longer necessary. Through this, that a digitized scale map is carried in the vehicle and a Calculator the values transmitted by suitable encoders via the proper movement of the Evaluates vehicle, can - starting from a starting point entered in the computer - the exact route of the vehicle can be followed directly on the map. For land vehicles arises from the fact that only roads can be driven automatically a possibility of correction, so that small errors in the determination of the vehicle movement can be regularly balanced via the computers (e.g. whenever the Vehicle drives a curve).

Die Erfindung bezieht sich insbesondere auf die Nutzung billiger Massenspeicher als Träger für die digitalisierte Straßenkarte, die es möglich machen, derartige Karten billig zu kopieren und kleinvolumig mitzuführen. Insbesondere optische Massenspeicher (z.B. in der Form der Uideolangspielplatte) werden zur Speich-erung der digitalisierten Straßenkarte eingesetzt.The invention relates in particular to the use of inexpensive mass storage devices as a carrier for the digitized road map, which make it possible to use such Maps can be copied cheaply and carried in small volumes. In particular, optical mass storage devices (e.g. in the form of the Uideolongspielplatte) are used to save the digitized Road map inserted.

Das Gerät und Verfahren besteht im wesentlichen aus folgenden Bausteinen: (1) Der auf einem Massenspeicher aufgetragenen digitalen Karte, (2) dem Laufwerk für den Massenspeicher, (3) einem Rechner, (4) Sensoren zur steten und präzisen Ermittlung des Geschwindigkeitsvektors des Fahrzeugs, (5) einem Anzeigesystem zur Anzeige der aktuellen Position des Fahrzeugs, (6) einem Eingabesystem zur Eingabe von Sbrtposition und ggfs.The device and procedure essentially consist of the following components: (1) The digital map stored on a mass storage device, (2) the drive for mass storage, (3) a computer, (4) sensors for constant and precise Determination of the speed vector of the vehicle, (5) a display system for Display of the current position of the vehicle, (6) an input system for input from Sbrtposition and possibly.

Zielposition und zur Kontrolle des gesamten Systems, (7) einer Schnittstelle zur Übergabe von geeigneten Steuersignalen vom Rechner an Antriebs-, Lenk- und Bremskontrolleinheiten des Fahrzeugs und (8) den geeigneten Verbindungen.Target position and to control the entire system, (7) an interface for the transfer of suitable control signals from the computer to drive, Steering and brake control units of the vehicle and (8) the appropriate connections.

Eine beispielhafte Anordnung des Systems zeigt die Abbildung 1.An exemplary arrangement of the system is shown in Figure 1.
