Description

La présente invention concerne un système permettant de fournir des informations aux usagers des lignes d'autobus.The present invention relates to a system for providing information to users of bus lines.

Il est actuellement connu que les stations d'émissions radiophoniques, en modulation de fréquence, émettent également, outre l'émission phonique, des données numériques sur les bandes latérales libres du canal. Ce système d'émission de données numériques par les stations d'émissions radiophoniques est connu sous le nom de "RDS" qui sont les initiales de l'expression anglaise "Radio data system".It is currently known that radio transmission stations, in frequency modulation, also transmit, in addition to the sound transmission, digital data on the free sidebands of the channel. This system for transmitting digital data by radio stations is known as "RDS" which are the initials of the English expression "Radio data system".

Ces données numériques sont actuellement utilisées par les stations de radio pour différents besoins internes, mais toute la place disponible n'est pas utilisée, et il est donc possible à un tiers d'utiliser ce système pour offrir des services d'informations spécifiques.These digital data are currently used by radio stations for various internal needs, but all the available space is not used, and it is therefore possible for a third party to use this system to offer specific information services.

La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un système pour l'information des usagers d'un réseau d'autobus, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un central de gestion d'un réseau d'autobus relié à une station locale d'émission radiophonique capable d'émettre des données numériques par le procédé RDS, et une pluralité d'équipements comprenant chacun au moins un module récepteur-décodeur RDS, un microprocesseur, un afficheur et une alimentation.The present invention thus relates to a system for informing users of a bus network, characterized in that it comprises a central office for managing a bus network connected to a local transmitting station. radio capable of transmitting digital data by the RDS method, and a plurality of equipment each comprising at least one RDS receiver-decoder module, a microprocessor, a display and a power supply.

Selon une autre caractéristique, au moins certains desdits équipements comportent en outre une mémoire et un clavier de saisie reliés au microprocesseur.According to another characteristic, at least some of said equipment further comprises a memory and an input keyboard connected to the microprocessor.

Selon une première forme de réalisation, lesdits équipements sont situés à postes fixes, chaque équipement étant localisé à un point particulier d'arrêt d'autobus.According to a first embodiment, said equipment is located at fixed positions, each equipment being located at a particular bus stop point.

Alternativement, ou en complément, il existe desdits équipements portatifs.Alternatively, or in addition, there are said portable devices.

Selon une réalisation préférée de l'invention, ledit central de gestion du réseau d'autobus est en outre relié, par des moyens bidirectionnels de communication, avec chacun des autobus du réseau.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said central management of the bus network is also connected, by bidirectional communication means, with each of the buses of the network.

L'invention et son procédé d'utilisation vont maintenant être décrits en se référant au dessin annexé qui comprend une figure unique.The invention and its method of use will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing which includes a single figure.

Le système comprend un central 1 de gestion d'un réseau d'autobus qui est relié, par exemple par une ligne téléphonique spécialisée 2 à une station locale 3 d'émissions radiophoniques. La station locale 3 est une station équipée d'un système de mixage permettant d'émettre en même temps que les informations sonores, des données numériques à raison de 1185 bits/seconde sur les bandes latérales du canal de modulation de fréquence. Ce système est bien connu et porte le nom de "RDS" qui sont les initiales de l'expression anglaise : "Radio data system".The system includes a central 1 for managing a bus network which is connected, for example by a specialized telephone line 2 to a local station 3 for radio broadcasts. The local station 3 is a station equipped with a mixing system making it possible to transmit at the same time as the sound information, digital data at the rate of 1185 bits / second on the side bands of the frequency modulation channel. This system is well known and bears the name of "RDS" which are the initials of the English expression: "Radio data system".

En 4, on a représenté un autobus du réseau d'autobus qui en comprend par exemple n.In 4, there is shown a bus of the bus network which includes for example n.

En 5, on a représenté un équipement capable de recevoir les données numériques émises par la station de radio locale 3.In 5, there is shown an equipment capable of receiving the digital data transmitted by the local radio station 3.

Il existe une pluralité d'équipements 5. En général, chaque point d'arrêt d'une ligne d'autobus est muni d'un tel équipement 5.There are a plurality of devices 5. In general, each stopping point of a bus line is provided with such a device 5.

Un tel équipement peut aussi constituer un terminal de poche et donc être en possession des usagers des autobus.Such equipment can also constitute a pocket terminal and therefore be in the possession of bus users.

Que l'équipement 5 constitue une borne fixe située à un arrêt d'autobus, ou un terminal de poche, il comprend au moins un récepteur-décodeur "RDS" 6, un microprocesseur 7, un afficheur 8 et une alimentation 9.Whether the equipment 5 constitutes a fixed terminal located at a bus stop, or a pocket terminal, it comprises at least one "RDS" receiver-decoder 6, a microprocessor 7, a display 8 and a power supply 9.

Dans cette version, et selon le nombre de caractères de l'afficheur 8, les informations visualisées offertes aux usagers par le central de gestion 1, mais par l'intermédiaire de la station radio locale 3, peuvent consister dans les temps d'attente théoriques du ou des quelques prochains autobus de la ligne ou des lignes desservant l'arrêt où est localisé l'équipement 5. S'il s'agit d'un équipement de poche, il est affecté à un arrêt particulier. On peut afficher également d'autres informations telles que le numéro de la ligne, la destination, des messages sous la forme de bande annonce.In this version, and depending on the number of characters on the display 8, the displayed information offered to users by the management center 1, but via the local radio station 3, can consist of the theoretical waiting times of the next few bus (s) on the line or lines serving the stop where equipment 5 is located. If it is pocket equipment, it is assigned to a particular stop. You can also display other information such as line number, destination, messages in the form of a trailer.

Dans le cas préféré où le réseau d'autobus est équipé d'un système d'aide à l'exploitation, chaque autobus 4 est relié au central de gestion 1 par des moyens bidirectionnels de communication, représentés par les flèches 10 et 11, tels que des radiotéléphones. Dans ce cas, le temps d'attente affiché sur l'afficheur 8 est le temps réel compte tenu des retards éventuels. A cet effet, le central de gestion 1 interroge cycliquement les autobus 4 du réseau sur leur position actuelle.In the preferred case where the bus network is equipped with an operating assistance system, each bus 4 is connected to the management center 1 by bidirectional communication means, represented by the arrows 10 and 11, such than radiotelephones. In this case, the waiting time displayed on the display 8 is the real time taking into account any delays. To this end, the management center 1 cyclically interrogates the buses 4 of the network on their current position.

L'équipement 5 peut en outre être équipé d'une mémoire 12 et d'un clavier de saisie de données 13 reliés au microprocesseur 7. De cette façon l'usager est en face d'une borne interactive lui permettant d'obtenir des informations diverses :

  • l'itinéraire pour se rendre à un point donné, les lignes à prendre, les correspondances, le temps du parcours ; la tarification ; les horaires, etc., les informations fixes sont chargées la nuit dans les équipements 5.
The equipment 5 can also be equipped with a memory 12 and a data entry keyboard 13 connected to the microprocessor 7. In this way the user is in front of an interactive terminal enabling him to obtain information various:
  • the route to get to a given point, the lines to take, connections, travel time; the pricing structure ; schedules, etc., fixed information is loaded into the equipment at night 5.

Dans le cas des équipements de poche, il est particulièrement intéressant qu'ils soient interactifs.In the case of pocket equipment, it is particularly interesting that they are interactive.
