Construction site container and method for remote construction site monitoring using at least one construction site container

On construction sites, in particular, large construction projects in road construction, power plant construction, in mining and in railway construction, it is often essential to keep needed building materials and tools on the site. Construction sites are often only temporarily fenced, so the safe storage of materials and tools are often a problem. Serve this purpose construction standard container in which materials and tools, often office equipment or the like can be accommodated closed. Not all present on a construction site materials and equipment can however accommodate safely in material containers, in particular, consumables such as cable or components of major equipment are frequent targets of fraud.

The sites mentioned above are often located in sparsely populated, remote areas, which makes monitoring of the sites by a conventional means by monitoring services often difficult. Also, it is often technically hardly possible einzufrieden such sites accordingly. Finally, construction sites and site containers are often the target of vandalism.

The invention is therefore based on the object, a method of construction site remote monitoring and provide appropriate means for this purpose, providing an easy site supervision with relatively little manpower.

The the object underlying the invention is first of all achieved by a construction site container, in particular a construction-standard container with at least one access control device and at least one device for remote monitoring of the access control device and means for perimeter surveillance.

Essence of the invention is to provide a construction site container / material container / Materialmietcontainer which itself includes an access restriction within the meaning of Verschlisßbarkeit / lockable as well as access control in the sense of alarm and by means of which a monitoring and recording its immediate vicinity is also possible. With an array of such site containers can be even large construction sites to monitor almost everywhere. A variety of construction site containers can may be, for example via a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communicate with each other, wherein one or more site containers each provided with means for perimeter surveillance.

The site containers according to the invention may comprise, for example, means for automatic, event-dependent activation of the perimeter monitoring.

For example, the container construction according to the invention may comprise at least a device for the satellite-supported position data acquisition. In the simplest case this can be a GPS receiver / GPS Tracker, which sends location data from the Site container by means of mobile data transmission.

In a further advantageous variant of construction container according to the invention it is provided that this has at least one inertially-controlled motion detector for detecting a change in position of the container.

If a detected change in position by addressing an inertia-controlled motion detector, for example, are activated, the position data acquisition. Using remote data transmission can then be transmitted in certain time increments a position signal. Of course, also a permanent position data acquisition and - be provided message.

Expediently comprises the construction site container according to the invention at least one device for the automatic notification of a perimeter surveillance and / or monitoring location (position data acquisition) triggering event by remote data transmission. In such reports the construction site container can then be accessed consciously in an event central image data and / or position data.

For this purpose, it is expedient if the site containers according to the invention comprises means for remote control and / or Femabfrage access monitoring device and / or the radius of monitoring and / or a location monitoring device.

Conveniently, the site container according to the invention at least one network-independent power supply. The power supply can be redundant.

As power supply, for example, one or more batteries can be provided for example in the form of nickel metal hydride batteries, which are means of solar panels on the roof container daytime charged.

To ensure the coverage of off-grid power supply as long as possible, it is advantageous if both the means of position data acquisition as well as the means for environmental monitoring are only after detection of an event activated by, for example, motion or Trägheltsmelder.

The site containers according to the invention can communicate parked on the construction site facilities, for example, via WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) by others who are having a corresponding sensor, for example in the form of inertia detectors / Position detectors, equipped.

In an expedient embodiment of the construction site container according to the invention it is provided that this is provided with a remotely controllable access control device, which is realized in the form of a remotely operated / remote controlled locking area. In this way can the site containers according to the invention via a GSM network or via a mobile Internet connection remotely lock and unlock it or könenn electronic key and / or access permissions set and / or changed. The access control device may comprise a door opener and an intercom device and / or a camera on a remote-controlled access control can be exercised.

In addition, an alarm can also be provided which generates an optical and / or audible alarm on the spot. The detection range of the video camera / network camera and the detection section provided on the site containers motion expediently has a radius of about 15 m.

Messages of construction container, triggered by an event in the area, or by a change in position of the container or by a change in position of communicating with the construction site container component / equipment at the construction site can via email, SMS or other mobile platforms are created.

When an event occurs, the video / image recording data are advantageously transmitted in real time to an event center.

The above object is further achieved by a process for construction site remote monitoring using at least one construction site container, the method by remote data transmission at least includes the motion detection and motion detection in a defined radius of the construction site container and the reporting of an event then adopted a remote event detection panel and the remote data transmission takes place via at least one disposed within the construction site Fembedienungs- container and the remote monitoring device.

An advantageous embodiment of the method is characterized in that by means of motion capture at least one automatic image acquisition, preferably takes the form of a video recording.
