    The present invention relates to traffic control devices according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for managing traffic control devices according to the preamble of claim 6.
    In the context of the present invention, traffic signs (§ 39 STVO), traffic facilities (§ 43 STVO), changing light signs (§ 37 STVO), permanent light signs (§ 37 STVO), green arrow (§ 37 STVO), danger signs (§ 40 STVO) , Regulation signs (§ 41 STVO) and directional signs (§ 42 STVO) uniformly and generally referred to as "traffic control device", the banned law concerns the road traffic regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany from 2016. However, this does not only include traffic control devices for road traffic, but also those of the aviation, shipping and rail traffic and all other traffic in general.
    Traffic signs (VZ) are used worldwide and mostly regulate the traffic of pedestrians and motor vehicles, but are also used in air, ship and rail traffic.
    So-called vertical traffic signs (vVZ), which are used to regulate road traffic, are known, for example. In Germany alone there are around 25 million stationary vertical traffic signs (ovVZ), with a new demand of around 1.4 million ovVZ every year.
    According to the traffic sign catalog, which is part of the German road traffic regulations, there are over 400 different signal images on the vVZ. With regard to the ovVZ, a distinction is made between standard traffic signs and VZ with variable image content. The image content is arranged on an image carrier which, depending on the size of the ovVZ, has sheet metal thicknesses of 2 or 3 mm.
    A distinction is also made between variable message signs, reusable VZ (temporary VZ) and quality signs.
    In addition, the standard VZ are divided into three size groups depending on three speed ranges.
    In addition to these general distinctions, there are also special distinguishing features. For example, with regard to the design of the image carrier, a distinction is made between the standard VZ in triangles, squares, rectangles, octagons, circular blanks, which can each be flat, edge-deformed and profiled. The image carriers of the VZ with variable image content have a reinforced profile. There are three different profile heights, depending on the shield area.
    The image contents are mostly printed on foils, which in turn are laminated onto the image carrier. Such films can be designed as retroreflective films or non-retroreflective films.
    The retroreflective foils are divided into three retroreflective classes on the basis of a specific retroreflective value. Due to the construction of the reflective tape, a distinction is made within the reflection classes according to the type of construction.
    In Germany, for example, reflective films from five manufacturers are approved for the production of VZ, which differ from one another purely optically (e.g. honeycomb structure, prism structure, etc.).
    The image content can be applied to the film in two printing processes: screen printing or digital printing. In addition to this, the lettering and, if necessary, contrasting strips can also be glued on by hand using foil.
    In addition, the printed films can or must be provided with an anti-dew or anti-graffiti coating, which is usually done by means of a corresponding laminate.
    Depending on the type of image carrier, the VZ with different clamps (band clamps, pipe clamps, clamps or special clamps) are attached to installation devices. A distinction is made between different versions of these individual types of clamp.
    The following are predominantly used as erection devices: tubular posts, tubular frames, tubular masts, MSH masts, lattice masts, triangular and square lattice masts, cantilever arms and gantries. These in turn differ in their dimensions, the material used and the type of attachment to the subsoil.
    The stable anchoring with the subsoil can be done by means of ground sleeves and / or concrete pedestals as well as reinforced concrete foundations.
    This overview shows the complexity and variety of variations that the installation and technical equipment of a traffic sign is subject to.
    The erection of traffic signs is a sovereign task of the state, be it the municipalities or the federal, state or district administrations for roads and traffic.
    With the introduction of the new public budgeting and accounting (NÖHR) in the public administrations, these are also obliged to double bookkeeping and thus to double annual accounts. Linked to this is an annual inventory, in which all traffic signs and traffic facilities must be recorded, which is still done manually today.
    Due to the above-described complexity and variety of traffic signs, this is very difficult for public administrations for a variety of reasons, so that only the value of one kilometer of road including all road equipment is estimated almost exclusively. It is therefore not possible to give precise details of the existing traffic signs and traffic facilities. Ultimately, this can also lead to considerable restrictions in traffic safety, namely if a traffic sign is damaged in an accident and a replacement has to be obtained immediately. In addition, ignorance of the traffic sign to be replaced, including the installation device, can lead to considerable delays in the procurement of spare parts.
    In addition, the search for a specific traffic sign in the storage locations, for example the building yards or the traffic safety, can only be done by inspection in the warehouse, which takes a lot of time and is not always successful because the road sign you are looking for is not at all is located at this storage location.
    The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a traffic control device, in particular a traffic sign, with which the above-mentioned disadvantages are overcome and, in particular, the traffic sign or the traffic device should be able to be easily replaced and inventoried.
    This object is achieved with the traffic influencing device according to the invention according to claim 1 and the administrative method according to the invention according to claim 6. Advantageous developments are given in the dependent claims and the following description.
    The inventors have recognized that the problem can be solved particularly easily if each traffic control device itself is attached to a memory that either contains all the desired information about the traffic control device or a representative of this information.
    In the context of this invention, such a “memory” is any means that contains such information and representatives in a reproducible manner. It can be, for example, an optical memory, for example in the form of a barcode or color code, or an electrical or electronic memory.
    The traffic control device according to the invention, in particular traffic signs with image content that is arranged on an image carrier, or traffic facility, is therefore characterized in that the traffic control device has a memory in which information about the traffic control device or a representative of this information is stored.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the memory is designed to be remotely readable, the memory preferably comprising a passive or active transponder, in particular having an RFID (radio-frequency identification) tag. It can then be recognized much more quickly which or whether the traffic influencing device sought is present. For example, you can search for a specific traffic control device in a warehouse or with traffic control devices that have already been set up, or you can determine which traffic control device it is for a traffic control device in a warehouse or at the installation site by ascertaining the associated information.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the memory is arranged in relation to a front side facing the traffic on a side surface or rear side of the traffic influencing device. Then there is no possibly unauthorized influencing of the traffic sign, for example, which changes its optically standardized appearance.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that it is a vertical traffic sign, in particular a stationary vertical traffic sign or a temporary traffic sign. Such traffic influencing devices are available in large quantities and an inventory or simple replacement is particularly desirable.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the information includes one or more pieces of information from the following group: type of traffic control device, for example the traffic sign or the traffic device, image content, image material, image carrier, size of the traffic control device, speed range, shape of the image carrier , Type of image carrier, reflection class of the image content, production method for the image content, coating, type of installation of the traffic control device, installation device of the traffic control device, status of the traffic control device, location of the traffic control device. This information is particularly important for the exact simulation of the traffic influencing device, but there may be additional or different information.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the representative is designed as an identification number to which the information is assigned, wherein the identification number is preferably calculated from the information. Then the information can be assigned particularly easily to the representative.
    Independent protection is claimed for the inventive method for managing traffic control devices, in particular traffic signs and / or traffic facilities, which is characterized in that at least one traffic control device a memory with information about this traffic control device or with a representative of this information is attached.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the traffic influencing device according to the invention is used.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the information is stored in a database. Such a database can, for example, exist centrally throughout Germany or also for certain municipalities that require a corresponding inventory. If possible, care companies should also have access to this database.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that the memory is read out remotely, preferably while moving past, and the information is displayed.
    In an advantageous development it is provided that when the information is compared with predetermined information, a message, preferably in the form of a sound or light signal, is issued. This makes it particularly easy to determine whether a specific, possibly already inventoried, traffic influencing device is actually present or which traffic influencing device is actually involved.
    Other advantages are as follows:The economy in the public administration is improved, since the inventory and administration expenses are minimized.Inventory information with regard to the traffic control devices and their installation devices are more precise and the inventory of traffic control devices is complete.The order of replacement traffic control devices can be done immediately and exactly to the required extent without research.If a traffic control device is damaged, for example due to an accident, the response time for the replacement can be minimized, which contributes to increasing traffic safety.Searched traffic control devices at a certain location can be found much more quickly or it can be determined first of all whether the searched traffic control device is actually available at the location.The quality requirements for traffic control devices and their installation devices can be better adhered to, checked and enforced.
    The characteristics and further advantages of the present invention will become clear in the following on the basis of the description of a preferred exemplary embodiment in connection with the figure. It shows purely schematically: FIG. 1 an embodiment according to the invention of a traffic influencing device in the form of a traffic sign.
    It can be seen in Fig. 1 that the traffic sign 1 has an installation device 3, on which an image carrier 5 is mounted by means of a clamp, not shown in detail. An image content 7 is arranged on the image carrier 5. The image content 7 is formed on film which is provided with an anti-graffiti coating. The erecting device 3 is a tubular post which is fixedly arranged in a concrete base block 9 as a stand, namely cast in, the concrete base block 9 being firmly embedded in a substrate 11.
    It is therefore a stationary vertical traffic sign 1, which marks a hazardous point (not shown) as a hazard sign 101 according to § 40 STVO. For this purpose, the image carrier 5 is triangular and the image content 7 shows a red triangle 13 with an exclamation mark 15 arranged therein.
    In addition, a passive transponder in the form of an RFID tag 19 is arranged on the underside 17 of the image carrier 5. As a result of this type of arrangement, the traffic sign 1 is not changed in its frontal view 18 facing the traffic, in particular the image content 7 is not changed. In the purely schematic representation, the RFID tag 19 appears oversized, which of course it is not in reality, instead it is essentially not applied to the underside 17.
    The RFID tag 19 contains an identification number that is uniquely linked to information about the traffic sign 1. This link is stored in a database (not shown). More precisely, the following information is stored for the identification number: type of traffic sign, image content, image material, image carrier, size of the traffic sign, speed range, design of the image carrier, type of image carrier, reflection class of the image content, manufacturing process for the image content, coating, type of installation of the traffic sign, Device for setting up the traffic sign, position of the traffic sign, location of the traffic sign.
    This information was linked in advance by the manufacturer of the traffic sign 1 with the identification number and entered in the database.
    The information belonging to the traffic sign 1 can now be determined at any time. A corresponding reading device 21 is used here, which transmits high-frequency radio waves 23 in order to achieve long ranges in order to read out the RFID tag 19 and to determine its identification number. A suitable program (not shown), for example an application, which is connected to the reading device 21, is used to access the database and the information assigned to the identification number can be displayed on a suitable display device (not shown). To do this, the reading device 21 could, for example, be connected to a suitably set up mobile radio device, in particular a smartphone.
    In this way, all relevant information on the traffic sign 1 can be determined very quickly, so that, for example, in the event of damage caused by an accident, this traffic sign 1 can be replaced identically very quickly.
    On the other hand, an inventory could be used to check very quickly whether the inventoried traffic sign is actually present at the location and whether it has properties that match the information. For example, a suitable device could then output a signal, for example a signal tone, when the traffic sign associated with the identification number sought has been detected. In this way, the correct traffic sign can be determined quickly when driving past. The information stored for the identification number can then be compared with the actual properties of the traffic sign 1.
    Even if special traffic signs have been described above, it is clear that the present invention can advantageously be used for all traffic influencing devices.
    From the above illustration it has become clear that the traffic influencing device according to the invention can be inventoried very quickly and reliably and, if necessary, replaced.
