Process for traffic monitoring and traffic control and position determination and transmission of information from and to mobile objects, in particular ships, and for decentralized detection of the local traffic situation in the area surrounding the mobile object

摘要

The invention concerns a method of monitoring and guiding traffic, determining positions and transmitting information from and to mobile objects, such as in particular ships, and for the decentralized detection of the local traffic situation in the vicinity of the mobile object. Data relevant to the traffic situation are transmitted from a computer network to a mobile computer by means of a connected transceiver unit. The network computers are interconnected by a data-transmission line. The data relevant to the traffic situation are transmitted or received via a transmitting and receiving station with an antenna unit. Data from an antenna unit with the transceiver unit are transmitted to a further transceiver unit and to the connected mobile computer. From the mobile computer, data are transmitted via the connected transceiver unit and the further transceiver units of the antenna unit and via a transmitting and receiving station to the computers in the computer network.
