FIG1 schematically illustrates a method for enhancing the security of navigating a vehicle by providing real-time navigation data to the vehicle via a mobile communication network mobile communication network
In FIG1, a method for enhancing the security of navigating a vehicle 10 by providing real-time navigation data to the vehicle 10 via a mobile communication network 100 is illustrated schematically. The mobile communication network 100 comprises a radio access network 110 and a core network 120. The mobile communication network 100 is preferably a cellular telecommunications network comprising typically a plurality of network cells, wherein a coverage region (or coverage area) of a network cell associated with a base station entity 111 is represented in FIG1 by means of reference sign 110'. The radio access network 110 comprises a base station entity 111 serving the radio cell associated with the coverage region 110'. Preferably, the coverage region 110' (herein also called coverage area) is a three-dimensional region or space of the (radio access network associated with a base station entity of the) mobile communication network 100, wherein the coverage region 110' provides coverage to subscribers (especially in an helicopter 10) up to a certain ceiling (vertical direction) and out of the coast (horizontal direction). Preferably, the mobile communication network 100 is connected to a flight control entity which operates a remote sensing system 31 (e.g. a radar system or radar station), the remote sensing system 31 being associated with a remote sensing region (see reference numeral 31' in FIG1) at least partially overlapping (preferably fully overlapping with or including the) any coverage region (for example coverage region 110' shown in FIG1) of the mobile communication network 100. Preferably, the mobile communication network 100 is connected to all shipping offices with their respective radar-installations in harbours and on coasts and associated shipping-routes. Preferably, the system according to the present invention comprises a radar-installation for automotive corridors (for example highways) and traffic control entities (not shown). Thereby, it is advantageously possible to avoid failing night-vision ability, darkness, fog, poor visibility and other pre-sets for an unsafe voyage from becoming critical due to a real-time modus being realized by supplying the vehicle with the real-time navigation data (including radar-images), wherein the image information are displayed during travelling the vehicle 10.
