Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates railway line 10 and near a group reinder of railway line (in the circle 60 in the drawings).Leading reinder 40 is equipped with the electronic unit 1 (Fig. 2) that is installed on the necklace.Each animal 50 of this deer group is equipped with better simply electronic unit, promptly with as the ear tag in the applicant's patent application WO03/079773, explained or the form of necklace (wireless lebal).The unit 1 of leading reinder is given control centre deer group's position message via GSM, and described GSM is such as being GSM, GPRS or UMTS.Suggestion GSM connects by the base station in the tower 80.
Each electronic unit 1 is equipped with GSM transceiver and navigation system, for example GPS.In addition, unit 1 also is equipped with the transceiver of short-range communication, for example is in the frequency band of 433MHz.Each wireless lebal is equipped with the respective transceivers that is used for junction service, and is equipped with identification code.Each radio sign directly be arranged on the reinder of taking the lead on electronic unit 1 communicate by letter, perhaps the multi-hop (multi hop) via other wireless lebal communicates with.Therefore, leading reinder is equipped to which animal dis is that the information among the deer group passes to control centre.
The present invention is based on one group " virtual boundary/fence " of definition, as by shown in the dotted line among Fig. 1 20,30.When drove during near railway line 10, particularly when passing boundary line 20, control centre is provided to notify the possible train 90 that appears at this zone.
Can notify in a number of ways, for example by show reinder group's position on map, it can be via access to the Internet.This regional trainman can see this map on the net, concurrent existing zone in the risk that knocks reinder.
Another method is that this GPS receiver reports to same control centre constantly to the position of train to train equipment GPS receiver.Described control centre is these positions relatively, and when the position of deer group and train is closer to each other, send alarm to the trainman.
In the 3rd method, control centre is provided to control the warning mark along track or highway setting.This solution describes in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
In Fig. 3, each animal is equipped with wireless lebal 31,32,33 on ear, to replace conventional visible mark label.Each label 31,32,33 is communicated by letter with mobile access point (MAP) 34.This mobile access point can be embedded in the necklace that leading reinder wears, as being further explained in detail in WO 03/079773.MAP 34 communicates by letter with data-acquisition system 35.Data-acquisition system 35 is connected to database 36, the information of the current location of relevant each animal of described database 36 records.Data-acquisition system 35 also is connected to the control module 37 that is controlled at the information that shows on the road sign 38.Place sign 38 along highway or railroad track that known reinder may occur.
Data-acquisition system 35, database 36 and control module 37 can be bonded in the control centre.Selectively, some parts, particularly control module can be contained in the control cabinet that is arranged in road sign 38 places.At last, the The whole control center can be placed in the described control cabinet.
MAP 34 also can be provided to directly control sign 38 and not consult database 36.
Fig. 4 illustrates the general survey of this system.Animal 41 is equipped with wireless lebal 42 and MAP 43.MAP 43 is controlled database 44 to deer group 41 position message.As deer group 41 during near road 46, when perhaps passing dangerous polygon 47 (being defined as the virtual electronic hedge geographically) more accurately, this system's control danger signal 45 provides alarm with the traffic on road 46.
Cover as long as this zone has GSM, this system just can reasonably well work.If not this situation, then whole system will lose efficacy.Therefore, native system is equipped with " fail safe mechanism " or back-up system.This system is embedded in short range communication system and central location in the ear tag based on use.Train is equipped with the corresponding short range communication system of other unit that continues the poll near zone.If detect response, then cause warning driver's warning.Thereby train can detect near the appearance of animal railway line.Even in the situation about not drawing on map in the position, the driver also will receive indication just at dangerous signal.
In the time of within the deer group is arranged in warning line (the solid line polygon of Fig. 2), the more accurate of each animal position determines it perhaps is essential.Synzoochory is in the zone around the leading reinder, and leading reinder is the reinder of the unique GPS of being equipped with receiver.For each member's of determining the deer group position, used triangulation from how leading reinder in this zone.Triangulation is based on the distance location (measure propagation time) of more nodes (leading reinder) with known location.If an ear tag (leading reinder) within the scope of three base stations then might utilize this ear tag to determine the position of reinder with very high precision.
In some cases, be not connected between three base stations of ear tag and all.With regard to system of the present invention, will be likely that triangulation is not only based on the base station, and based on other ear tag.If a unit that will be positioned is outside the scope of three base stations, but in the scope of two base stations and another ear tag, then this ear tag can have the direct link to the base station.So the 3rd position (point) in might triangulating this ear tag usefulness.This position will not utilize three base stations accurate like that, but advantage is, because system is so equipped, therefore always can obtain the position of unit.
This triangulation can be carried out in a number of ways, and all modes are all based on the subclass of the node in the zone with known position.By determining that there is dedicated radio link in which node with known location, and know the a-n radio range a-n of these positions simultaneously, the accuracy of calculating unknown position and described position just becomes possibility.By use elementary geometry and vector operation, possible measuring distance or angle, and relative to each other locate each single node.
Measuring distance utilizes radio and ultrasonic, perhaps only utilize the two one of.Utilized sound and radio to have the fact of very different speed with the radio of ultrasonic combination, and, can calculate distance according to the time difference between the ultrasonic signal of radio signal that receives and reception.Utilize radio or hyperacoustic time difference or unidirectional measurement or come and go and measure.One way signal need be between transmitter and receiver synchronised clock, and poor between clock by measuring yourself and the received signal can be calculated distance.This method is used among the GPS." come and go " to measure and carry out work according to following principle: in case send a signal, and a node one receives this signal, and this node just returns a signal.When receiver receives this signal, determine that elapsed time is easy.
Angular surveying uses the angle of the signal that receives to determine the position.In order to determine angle, need directional aerial, so that possible detection signal is from which direction.Utilize the trigonometry of the known location of some nodes to be used to determine the position that remains node.Yet angular surveying not too is suitable for this situation.
As described, the capacity limit of power supply the operation of equipment and the performance of system.In order to increase the capacity of power supply, provide following three different steps:
1) supplies electric power from being installed in solar cell on the necklace to battery recharge.This is shown in Figure 2, the necklace 3 that carries electronic unit 1 shown in this figure.Solar cell 4 is installed on the necklace 3.Solar cell is connected to electronic unit 1, and wherein battery is by described battery recharge.
2) when temperature is low, keep high battery capacity.For this reason, battery can be placed on the inside of electronic unit 1.In Fig. 2, this lid that is shown as battery 2 is placed on the inner surface of box, and this box is equipped with battery and electronic unit.This battery is towards the health of animal, and heats by the body temperature of animal.
3) limiting device is connected the time of electric consumption.This periodically is arranged on the dormancy position to electronic unit 1 and realizes by following: the position of the leading reinder of control centre's record.Write down the position of warning line simultaneously.Control centre be equipped to calculating from leading reinder 30 near the distance of boundary line (being the line 20 Fig. 1).This distance arrives the required time of this warning line divided by the highest possible speed of the deer group 60 so that calculate the deer group thus.This control centre can send the order of switching units 1 subsequently, so that this unit is during this cycle or be disconnected or be switched to resting state.This unit was connected in the past in this time, reposition or the like is set, and after this this unit was cut off again in another cycle.
In conjunction with reinder and railway line this system has been described.Yet same system can be advantageously used in highway, and the vehicle mounting of for example often serving the stretch journey has alarm device.Described device can be advantageously used in truck, taxi, ambulance etc.And it is addressable usually that this system can easily be made into the public.Certainly, this system can be used for other biology, and in fact also can be applied to control non-life structure.For example, this can be bridge or the section that is exposed to the highway under the severe weather conditions, and it has ice or strong wind or the snowslide that forms on road.For these application, wireless lebal can integrate with right sensors.
