Method for signaling a stop request at a request stop
First Claim
1. Signaling method, in particular for signaling a stop request at a request stop (1) of a transport company route, preferably a bus transport company, with the request stop (1) only being approached if a passenger wishes to board or alight, characterized in that the stop request is entered via an operator unit (18) and a first signal (7) is generated which contains the stop request and information on the identity of the request stop (1), that said first signal (7) is transmitted by a send module (19) to at least one central server (4), that the central server (4) determines the bus (2) which is able to best approach the request stop (1) at the desired time and sends the stop request to the bus (2) in such a way that it sends to said bus a second signal (8) which is signalized to the bus driver via a signaling device (40).

Abstract
The invention relates to a signalling method, in particular for signalling a stop request at a request stop (1) of a transport company route, preferably a bus transport company, whereby the request stop (1) is only approached if a passenger wishes to board or alight. According to said method: the stop request is entered via an operator control unit (18) and a first signal (7), containing the stop request and information concerning the identity of the request stop (1), is generated; said first signal (7) is transmitted by a send module to at least one central server (4); the central server (4) determines which bus (2) can reach the request stop (1) first for the desired time and the stop request is transmitted to said bus (2) by sending a second signal (8) to said bus (2), the driver being alerted to the signal via a signalling device.

- 16. Data acquisition device, comprising a power supply, a measuring device (18), a send module (19) for transmitting measured data to a central server (4), with the measuring device (18) being queried by a computer (23) which is provided in the data acquisition device (1) and which triggers the send module (19), characterized in that the power supply comprises a solar power unit, especially a solar panel (14).
- 21. Transport system for a transport business, especially a bus transport business, comprising at least one request stop (1) which is only approached when a passenger desires to alight or board, at least one central server (4) and at least one signaling device (40) in a vehicle or bus (2) of the transport business, characterized in that the request stop (1) comprises an operator unit (18) for entering a stop request and a send module (19) for transmitting the stop request to the central server (4), that the central server (4) comprises a communication module for data exchange with the request stop (1) and the signaling device (40).
