The Measuring device can also, for example, the tire tread depth or another measure the accessible state of a measurement.

Übliche Geräte zur Verkebrsüberwachung enthalten eine photographische Kamera, welche Verstöße gegen die Verhehrsregeln photographisch dokumentieren. Solche photographischen Dokumente, welche das überwachte Fahrzeug und in das Bild eingespiegelt die Meßdaten zeigt, können in einem gerichtlichen Verfahren vorgelegt werden. Solche Dokumente werden üblicherweise vom Gericht als Beweismittel anerkannt. Zur mobilen Messung der Geschwindigkeit eines Fahrzeugs werden aber auch tragbare Handgeräte eingesetzt, die mit einem Laser-Geschwindigkeitsmesser arbeiten. Solche Handgeräte zeigen einen Meßwert an, liefern aber keine photographische Dokumentation. In einem gerichtlichen Verfahren muß dann der Verkehrspolizist als Zeuge vernommen werden. Eine solche Zeugenvernehmung ist problematisch. Die Gerichtsverhandlung findet u.U. Monate nach dem Ereignis statt. Seitdem hat der Verkehrspolizist Hunderte von Messungen durchgeführt. Er kann im allgemeinen nicht beschwören, daß er sich noch genau an Einzelheiten des Meßvorganges erinnert.Conventional devices for monitoring the brain contain a photographic camera, which photographically document violations of the rules of conduct. Such photographic documents showing the monitored vehicle and in the picture mirrored the measurement data shows can be submitted in a judicial procedure become. Such documents are usually used as evidence by the court accepted. But also for mobile measurement of the speed of a vehicle portable handheld devices that work with a laser speedometer. Such handheld devices display a measured value, but do not provide a photographic one Documentation. In a judicial proceeding, the traffic policeman must then be named Witness to be heard. Such questioning is problematic. The Court hearings may Months after the event took place. Since then the Traffic policeman carried out hundreds of measurements. He generally cannot Summon that he still remembers the details of the measuring process.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die Beweislage bei einem Gerät zur Verkehrsüberwachung zu verbessern.The invention is based on the problem of providing evidence for a device Improve traffic monitoring.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Gerät ein Mikrophon und Mittel zur Sprachaufzeichnung enthält. According to the invention this object is achieved in that the device is a microphone and Contains means for voice recording.

Der Verkehrspolizist kann dann während der Messung verbal die näheren Umstände des Meßvorganges in das Gerät eingeben. Anhand dieser Sprachaufzeichnung kann er in einem Gerichtsverfahren mit größerer Sicherheit die Zuverlässigkeit und die Umstände seiner Messung bestätigen.The traffic policeman can then verbally measure the circumstances of the situation during the measurement Enter the measuring process in the device. Using this voice recording, he can in a lawsuit with greater certainty the reliability and the circumstances confirm its measurement.

Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die zugehörige Zeichnung näher erläutert, die schematisch ein Gerät zur Messung der Geschwindigkeit von Fahrzeugen mit Mikrophon und Sprachaufzeichnung zeigt.An embodiment of the invention is below with reference to the associated drawing explained in more detail, which schematically shows a device for measuring the Shows speed of vehicles with microphone and voice recording.

Das Gerät ist ein Handgerät mit einem Gehäuse 10. Das Gehäuse 10 weist einen Handgriff 12 auf In dem Gehäuse 10 sitzt eine Meßeinheit 14. Die Meßeinheit 14 ist ein Laser-Geschwindigkeitsmesser. Die Meßeinheit 14 sendet einen Laserstrahl 16 aus, mit welchem ein zu messendes Fahrzeug angepeilt wird. Aus dem vom Fahrzeug reflektierten Laserlicht kann von der Meßeinheit 14 die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs bestimmt werden. Das ist bekannte Technik und daher hier nicht im einzelnen beschrieben.The device is a hand-held device with a housing 10. The housing 10 has one Handle 12 on A measuring unit 14 sits in the housing 10. The measuring unit 14 is a Laser speedometer. The measuring unit 14 emits a laser beam 16 with which a vehicle to be measured is aimed at. From that of the vehicle Reflected laser light can measure the speed of the vehicle from the measuring unit 14 be determined. This is known technology and therefore not in detail here described.
