1 AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 KAPSCH TRAFFICCOM AG COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Title: Assembly for electrically recharging vehicles The following statement is a full description of this invention including the best method of performing it known to us:- 2 Assembly for Electrically Recharging Vehicles This application is a divisional application of Australian Patent Application No. 2011200085 which claims priority to and benefit of European Patent Application No. 10450022.8 which was filed on 18 February 2010. The full disclosure of these applications is incorporated 5 herein by reference. The present invention relates to an assembly for electrically recharging vehicles. An assembly is described in US patent 2009/0174365A1 or US patent 2009/0177580 Al. According to the prior art known from this specification, the operators of the vehicles are equipped with radio units, e.g. RFID transponders such as those used for the payment of toll 10 charges according to the Californian FasTrak@ system. The disadvantage of this solution is that no unequivocal assignment is assured between the vehicle recharged by the assembly, on the one hand, and a payment account referenced in the radio unit of the user in a central system, on the other, since the relationship only exists between the assembly and the user. Thus, for example, a different vehicle could be recharged at the cost of the user, or a user 15 could be asked to pay for recharging a different vehicle. Any discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles or the like which has been included in the present specification is not to be taken as an admission that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present disclosure as it existed before the priority date of each claim of this 20 application. Throughout this specification the word "comprise", or variations such as "comprises" or 'comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps, but not the exclusion of any other element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps. 25 Summary The present disclosure provides an assembly for electrically recharging vehicles, to which individual radio units are assigned, each of said radio units being vehicle-based and equipped with a vehicle specific identification, the assembly comprising: a plurality of parking spaces 30 for one vehicle each, for each parking space a recharging station assigned thereto for cable connected recharging of a vehicle located therein by means of a charging cable, and for each parking space a transceiver connecting to the recharging station thereof, which transceiver clears the recharging station of said parking space for the recharging process depending on a communication with the radio unit of the vehicle located therein whereat said identification 35 is exchanged, wherein each transceiver has a communication zone which is restricted to a 3 region within its parking space. According to an embodiment, an essential assignment between the vehicle to be recharged and the radio unit is achieved so as to structurally exclude any misuse ("security by design"). A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is distinguished in that the 5 transceiver is configured in the manner of a radio beacon for communication with radio units, which are vehicle-based OBUs of a wireless road toll system. The vehicle linkage and vehicle assignment during the recharging process can be additionally reinforced by using fixed OBUs (onboard units). Moreover, the existing infrastructure of wireless road toll systems with existing OBUs can be employed in an extremely advantageous manner in order 10 to quickly set up an extensive electric filling station network for electric vehicles or quickly equip car parks, multistorey car parts etc. with recharging assemblies for all parking spaces. For this, it is particularly advantageous if the transceiver is a beacon operating according to the DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) or WAVE (wireless access in a vehicle environment) standard for communication with standardised DSRC or WAVE OBUs. 15 According to a further embodiment, the electrical charging parameters of the recharging process are controlled on the basis of data, which the transceiver reads from the radio unit. These data can directly specify the electrical charging parameters, e.g. charging current, charging voltage, charging characteristic etc., or can refer to those charging parameters filed in a central computer for this radio unit. 20 In a further preferred embodiment, the assembly is fitted with a camera directed towards the parking space and the recharging station actuates the camera to record an image at the beginning and the end of the recharging process and/or in the event of an interruption, interference or deviation of the recharging process from a given course, or in the event of interference with the shield of the charging cable being detected. The security against abuse 25 and manipulation can be further enhanced as a result of this. For example, any dishonest transfer of the charging cable from one vehicle to another can be alerted or automatically detected by means of photos or an attempt at manipulation at the charging cable can already be detected at the outset. In the advantageous variant of the integration into a road toll system, the assembly 30 preferably transmits transactions concerning the recharging processes to a control centre 4 of the road toll system, so that payment for these can be settled or corresponding measures can be taken within the road toll system in the event of anomalies. The invention shall be explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary 5 embodiments represented in the attached drawings, wherein: Figures 1 and 2 are schematic perspective views of two different embodiments of assemblies according to the invention; and Figure 3 is a detail in a block diagram in side view of the assemblies of Figure 10 1. Three exemplary assemblies 1 for electrically recharging electric or hybrid vehicles are shown in Figure 1. Each assembly 1 comprises a parking space 2 for a vehicle 3 (Figure 3) as well as a recharging station 4 assigned to the parking space 2 to recharging the 15 vehicle. The recharging station 4 is of a conventional type and, for example, has a connection socket 5 for a charging cable 6 for supplying charging current to the vehicle 3. The recharging station 4 is supplied with current by means of a local power network 7 from a public power supply network 8. 20 Each recharging station 4 is controlled by a transceiver 9, which has an electronic module 10 and a duplexer 11 connected thereto. The duplexer 11 has a directed communication zone 12, which is restricted to the region of the parking space 2 of the respective assembly 1. The transceiver 9 can communicate with radio units 13 (arrow 14) carried by the vehicles 3 only in this communication zone 12 or this restricted region of the parking 25 space 2. Each radio unit 13 is fitted individually for the respective vehicle 3, i.e. with a vehicle specific code, which can be exchanged with the transceiver 9 during the course of the communication 14 and identifies the vehicle 3 to the assembly 1. 30 The radio units 13 are preferably fixed onboard units (OBUs) such as those also used as part of conventional wireless road toll systems and that can be scanned by roadside radio beacons, for example, to charge a fee for road or car park usage. Such road toll systems 5 operate according to the DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) standard or WAVE (wireless access in a vehicle environment) standard. Accordingly, the radio units 13 are in particular DSRC or WAVE OBUs and the transceiver 9 has about the same functionality as a DSRC or WAVE beacon of a road toll system. 5 The transceiver 9 or its electronic module 10 connects to other assemblies 1, a local network and/or a control centre of the road toll system (not shown) by means of a data line 16. 10 The transceiver 9 controls the recharging station 10 in dependence on the communication 14 with a radio unit 13 located in its communication zone 12. Appropriate programming of the electronic module 10 can ensure that the recharging station 4 is only cleared to recharge the vehicle 3 when the vehicle 3 has notified or indicated accordingly via its radio unit 13 and payment of the recharging process is thus assured. The payment can be 15 made e.g. by means of a prepaid account, which is stored in an electronic account in the radio unit 13, or by means of a postpaid account, which is managed in the control centre of the road toll system. Corresponding transactions can also be made via the data line 16 for this purpose. 20 A camera 15 directed towards the parking space 2 is connected to the electronic module 10. The recharging station 4 monitors the recharging process and causes the camera 15 to record an image in the event of any interruption, interference and/or any deviation of the recharging process from a given course, e.g. a predetermined charging current or charging voltage range or a predetermined charging characteristic, via the electronic module 10. If 25 a shielded charging cable 6 is used, interferences with the shield of the charging cable can be detected electrically and manipulation of the charging cable can thus be detected from the outset. An image can also optionally be taken by the camera 15 for evidence purposes at the beginning and at the end of any one recharging process. The recorded images of the camera 15 can be transmitted together with further data of the assembly 1 via the data line 30 16 to corresponding evaluation devices, e.g. the control centre of a road toll system. Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the assembly 1, wherein the same reference numerals relate to the same elements. In this embodiment, a single transceiver 9 with a 6 larger communication zone 12 covering multiple parking spaces 2 is provided for multiple assemblies 1. In other words, the communication zone 12 is not restricted to the region of a parking space 2 here. Instead, the transceiver 9 is configured by appropriate configuration of its duplexer 11, for example, to locate the location P of an radio unit 13 5 in the communication zone 12, so that an unequivocal assignment can also be made here between a radio unit 13 and a parking spaced 2 of the assembly 1. Any technology known in the art can be used for locating location P, e.g. run time measurements, triangulation processes or the receipt of stand-alone position messages of 10 the radio units 13, e.g. if these can locate themselves by means of satellite navigation or the like. Each parking space 2 can be provided with its own camera 15 or multiple parking spaces 2 can share a joint camera 15. 15 The invention is not restricted to the represented embodiments, but covers all variants and modifications falling within the framework of the attached claims.
