First Claim
1. A method of establishing an alternate route on occasion of a blocked roadway within a monitored region, the method comprising the following steps:
- authorizing a vehicle to bypass the blocked roadway by a control center, the vehicle thus being an authorized vehicle;
repeatedly ascertaining position data of the authorized vehicle bypassing the blocked roadway by a position determining device;
ascertaining data of a bypass route from the ascertained position data by a computing device of the position determining device or by a computing device of the control center;
storing the data of the bypass route in a memory associated with the control center;
transferring authorization data that are stored in a memory and that apply to the blocked roadway to the bypass route to render the bypass route an authorized roadway;
transmitting information about the bypass route from the control center to those vehicles to which authorization had been given to use the blocked roadway to now use the bypass route.

Abstract
A method and a device for establishing an alternate route in the event of a blocked roadway in a monitored region, in particular in an airport ramp. A vehicle is authorized to bypass the blocked roadway by a control center. Position data are repeatedly ascertained with respect to the vehicle by way of a position determining device. The data of the bypass route are ascertained from the position data by way of a computing device. The bypass route data are stored in a memory associated with the control center. Furthermore, authorization data which apply to the blocked roadway and which are stored in the memory are transmitted to the bypass route.

5. A system for establishing an alternate route in the event of a blocked roadway in a monitored region, the device comprising:
-
a control center, a computing device associated with said control center, and a communication device associated with said control center; said control center being configured, upon receiving information about the blocked roadway, to authorize a vehicle to bypass the blocked roadway, to store data of an ascertained bypass route in a memory, and to transfer authorization data which applies to the blocked roadway and which is stored in memory to the bypass route; said control center being further configured to cause said communication device to transmit to other vehicles, which were authorized to use the blocked roadway, information regarding the bypass route and to inform the other vehicles that they now have authorization to use the bypass route. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
