Description

PROCEDE ET EQUIPEMENT PERMETTANT L'ENVOI D'UNE ALERTE DEPUIS UN METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR SENDING AN ALERT FROM A
VEHICULEVEHICLE
L'invention concerne le domaine de la détection d'incident à bord des véhicules, et plus particulièrement le déclenchement des appels d'urgence.The invention relates to the field of incident detection on board vehicles, and more particularly the triggering of emergency calls.
De nombreux organismes publics ou privés proposent de services permettant l'envoi d'appel d'urgence en cas d'incident ou d'accident détecté à bord d'un véhicule.Many public and private organizations offer services that allow emergency calls to be sent in the event of an incident or accident detected on board a vehicle.
Cet appel peut alors être volontaire ou déclenché après la détection d'un appel particulierThis call can then be voluntary or triggered after the detection of a particular call
De tels systèmes sont proposés nouvellement sur le marché et sont en général intégré au véhicule. Un tel système est proposé par exemple par la société Peugeot Citroën sous le nom de la plate-forme télématique commune de PSA Peugeot Citroën, « RT3 / Navidrive » (Radio Téléphone de troisième génération) qui permet le déploiement de ce service au sein de la quasi-totalité des gammes de Peugeot et Citroën.Such systems are newly proposed on the market and are generally integrated with the vehicle. Such a system is proposed for example by the company Peugeot Citroën under the name of the common telematic platform of PSA Peugeot Citroën, "RT3 / Navidrive" (Third Generation Radio Phone) which allows the deployment of this service within the almost all ranges of Peugeot and Citroën.
L'appel d'urgence proposé par PSA Peugeot Citroën contribue à l'intervention rapide des secours et participe ainsi à la réduction de la gravité des blessures et du nombre de tués sur les routes.The emergency call proposed by PSA Peugeot Citroën contributes to the rapid intervention of the relief and thus contributes to the reduction of the severity of the wounds and the number of killed on the roads.
Malheureusement la quasi-totalité des véhicules existants ne peuvent utiliser de tels services car ceux-ci nécessitent des équipements embarqués dans les véhicules et installés par le constructeur du véhicule. Par exemple les détecteurs installés permettent de détecter un accident ou un problème dans le comportement du véhicule.Unfortunately almost all existing vehicles can not use such services because they require equipment embedded in the vehicles and installed by the vehicle manufacturer. For example the detectors installed can detect an accident or a problem in the behavior of the vehicle.
D'autres systèmes connus basés sur des équipements indépendants du véhicule permettent de déclencher un appel d'urgence volontaire tel que les terminaux mobiles sans fil ou les dispositifs connus sous le nom de GPS (système de positionnement global ou GlobalOther known systems based on vehicle-independent equipment make it possible to trigger a voluntary emergency call such as wireless mobile terminals or devices known as GPS (Global Positioning System or Global Positioning System).
Positionning System, en anglais) ayant cette possibilité.Positionning System, in English) having this possibility.
Le système de radiocommunication GSM, par exemple, permet de numéroter l'appel d'urgence 112.The GSM radio system, for example, allows number the emergency call 112.
D'autre part, certains produits de la société TomTorn® permettent grâce à une liaison sans fil Bluetooth™ de communiquer avec un téléphone sans fil et donc de déclencher après intervention d'un utilisateur de ces produits un appel d'urgence.On the other hand, certain products from TomTorn® make it possible, thanks to a Bluetooth ™ wireless link, to communicate with a wireless telephone and thus trigger an emergency call after the intervention of a user of these products.
Ainsi donc pour la majorité des véhicules existants il n'est pas possible de détecter un accident ou un incident permettant automatiquement de déclencher une alerte vers le bon service.So for the majority of existing vehicles it is not possible to detect an accident or incident automatically triggering an alert to the right service.
L'invention a donc pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient. Elle propose à cet effet un procédé permettant l'envoi d'un message d'alerte depuis un véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes : un détecteur d'accident est installé sur l'un des éléments constituant ledit véhicule, ledit détecteur détecte un choc subit par ledit véhicule, ledit détecteur initialise une communication via une liaison passive ou active avec un terminal de communication capable directement ou indirectement d'émettre le message d'alerte sur un réseau de communication.The invention therefore aims to overcome this disadvantage. It proposes for this purpose a method for sending an alert message from a vehicle, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: an accident detector is installed on one of the elements constituting said vehicle, said detector detects a shock undergone by said vehicle, said detector initiates a communication via a passive or active connection with a communication terminal able directly or indirectly to issue the alert message on a communication network.
L'invention propose également un détecteur d'accident et/ou d'incident apte à mettre en œuvre le procédé permettant l'envoi d'un message d'alerte depuis un véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes : un détecteur d'accident est installé sur l'un des éléments constituant ledit véhicule, ledit détecteur détecte un choc subit par ledit véhicule, ledit détecteur initialise une communication via une liaison passive ou active avec un terminal de communication capable directement ou indirectement d'émettre une alerte sur un réseau de communication.The invention also proposes an accident and / or incident detector adapted to implement the method for sending an alert message from a vehicle, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a accident detector is installed on one of the elements constituting said vehicle, said detector detects a shock suffered by said vehicle, said detector initiates a communication via a passive or active link with a communication terminal capable directly or indirectly of transmitting a alert on a communication network.

This detector 1 is characterized in that it comprises means for fixing to a vehicle element, means for detecting an obvious shock or for its own damage, means 2 for connecting passive or active links with the communication terminal. able directly or indirectly to issue an alert message on a communication network external to the vehicle.
Avantageusement, les moyens de fixation sont prévus de manière à pouvoir permettre la fixation du détecteur 1 sur un élément du véhicule contenant un équipement de sécurité (non représenté) s'appelant « AirBag », ledit équipement de sécurité étant composé d'un baibn qui se gonfle d'air afin de protéger les passagers dudit véhicule lorsque le véhicule subit un choc.Advantageously, the fixing means are provided so as to allow the attachment of the detector 1 to a vehicle element containing a safety equipment (not shown) called "AirBag", said safety equipment being composed of a baibn which inflates air to protect the passengers of said vehicle when the vehicle is shocked.
Lesdits moyens de fixation sont implantés sur la grande majorité du parc de véhicules automobiles et sont agencés de telle manière, qu'en cas de déclenchement de l' AirBag, le détecteur 1 sera à môme d'enregistrer le choc ou même de subir une dégradation suffisante à le rendre inopérant.Said fastening means are located on the vast majority of the motor vehicle fleet and are arranged in such a way that, in the event of the AirBag being triggered, the detector 1 will be able to record the shock or even to undergo a degradation. sufficient to render it inoperative.
Ces moyens de fixation pouvant également permettre sa fixation sur d'autres éléments du véhicule tel que, et sans que cela soit limité, le pare brise, les roues, les pare-chocs. Avantageusement, l'invention couvre également le cas de plusieurs détecteurs 1 installés simultanément dans te véhicule pouvant ainsi détecter chocs et incidents de différentes provenances, de différentes sources et de différentes directions.These fixing means may also allow its attachment to other elements of the vehicle such as, and not limited to, windshield, wheels, bumpers. Advantageously, the invention also covers the case of several detectors 1 installed simultaneously in the vehicle can thus detect shocks and incidents from different sources, different sources and different directions.
Préférentiellement, le ou lesdits détecteurs décrits ci-dessus utilisent une technologie RFID (Identifiant radiofréquence ou Radio Frequency IDentifier, en anglais).Preferably, the one or more detectors described above use an RFID technology (radio frequency identifier or Radio Frequency IDentifier).
Ce ou ces détecteurs 1 seront lus régulièrement par un lecteur de RFID 3 couplé au terminal de communication, ledit terminal communiquant directement ou indirectement l'alerte sur le réseau de communication sans fil externe au véhicule.This or these detectors 1 will be read regularly by an RFID reader 3 coupled to the communication terminal, said terminal communicating directly or indirectly the alert on the wireless communication network external to the vehicle.
Ce ou ces détecteurs 1 peuvent bien également être reliés via une liaison filaire avec un terminal de communication.This or these detectors 1 can also be connected via a wired link with a communication terminal.
De manière plus précise ce ou ces détecteurs 1 peuvent être composés de deux parties séparables et aisément cassables en cas de choc.More precisely this or these detectors 1 can be composed of two separable parts and easily breakable in case of impact.
