Telematic control unit

Abstract: FIELD: transport.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to audio ad, particularly, to delivery of criteria-based messages to carrier. User-initiated telematic request is transmitted from telematic control unit built in carrier to info centre remote from said carrier. Said request comprises carrier ID and criterion whereon message is based. Then, remote info centre defines the reply to said telematic request, at least one audio message for communication with telematic control unit and at least one audio message for communication with telematic control unit depending on said criterion. Reply to telematic request and audio message are transmitted from remote info centre to telematic control unit and delivered to user in carrier via loud speaker before output of reply to user to telematic request. Note here that audio message can be an ad message while criterion the latter is based on can contain carrier statistic and/or statistics of mobile device user.EFFECT: delivery of audio messages with interference with carrier control.19 cl, 3 dwg

Abstract: A method of assistance to at least one occupant of a vehicle involved in an accident includes detecting a state of the vehicle resulting from the accident, activating a device to measure a physiological state of the occupant, collecting physiological data relating to the occupant by at least one dedicated measurement device, recording the data collected, and sending a message containing the data relating to the physiological state of the occupant to a remote data storage server, via a telematic control unit on board the vehicle. The collecting the physiological data is carried out recurrently at a regular time interval from a time of the detecting the state of the vehicle resulting from the accident. The sending the message is carried out automatically after each of the recording of the data collected in the collecting.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for control module activation of vehicles in a key-off state to determine driving routes. An example system includes a vehicle at a location in a key-off state. The vehicle includes a communication module to receive an activation signal and a telematic control unit. The telematic control unit is to activate upon receipt of the activation signal and determine and present a route from the location. The example system also includes a remote processor to determine the location, identify an event and an end time based upon the location, and send an activation signal based upon the end time.

Abstract: Performance of embedded radiofrequency (RF) devices used in the automotive industry such as Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Hand Free Systems (HFS), RADARs (Radio Detection and Ranging) for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) functions, TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring systems), FM (Frequency Modulation) and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) antennas, and TCUs (Telematic Control Unit) is unavoidably modified from that awaited under ideal conditions. The most difficult part in designing and implementing those antennas is that the final specification is described according to vehicle mounting position. Nevertheless, during the development phase of a new antenna, the vehicle is often unavailable, or practically does not exist yet. Furthermore, the acceleration in the development of vehicles allows less to wait for the first vehicle prototype in order to tune the product to its environment. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to apply numerical techniques covering entire project phases. This paper shows how 3D simulation can be applied to predict the installed performance of RF antennas in their operational environment.
