Device for exchanging data between moving vehicles
First Claim
1. A device for exchanging data between moving vehicles (19) comprising a receiving module (4) for receiving data messages broadcasted from other vehicles (19) equipped with said device, sensing and processing means (6, 9, 15) for generating vehicle-specific data and a broadcasting module (5) for broadcasting data messages including said received data and said vehicle-specific data, whereby the device further includes data processing means (16, 17) inseparably combining corresponding data from said received data and from said vehicle-specific data to synthesis data messages comprising time stamp data, whereby the broadcasting module (5, 126) is adapted to broadcast said synthesis data messages and whereby said data processing means (15, 16) include at least one evaluation member (66, 73, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83) for evaluating the contribution of received synthesis data messages according to said time stamp data, characterized by further including a route map skeleton generator (132) and a route map skeleton extractor (136) for generating route location data extracted from synthesis data messages.

Abstract
A device for exchanging data between moving vehicles comprises a receiving module (4) for receiving data messages broadcasted from other vehicles equipped with said device, sensing and processing means (6, 9, 15) for generating vehiclespecific data and a broadcasting module (5) for broadcasting data messages including said received data and said vehicle specific data. The device further includes data processing means (16, 17) inseparably combining corresponding data from said received data and from said vehicle-specific data to synthesis data messages comprising time stamp data. The broadcasting module (5) is adapted to broadcast said synthesis data messages. Said data processing means (15, 16) include at least one evaluation member responsive to said time stamp data and evaluating the contribution of received synthesis data messages according to said time stamp data.
