Claim 8:
9. An arrangement for tracking moving objects in which
a) a multiplicity of objects move in an area along a tracking route in a defined direction of movement, wherein the objects moving along the tracking route in space are vehicles,
b) the objects emit information with data relating to a plurality of non-object-identifying information parameters, at regular intervals of time, wherein the non-object-identifying information parameters are a type of object, length of object, and/or a width of object,
wherein the arrangement comprises:
c) at least two information capture devices which capture the information emitted by the moving objects with the non-object-identifying parameter data, at different locations at different times,
further wherein, the at least two information capture devices comprise:
d) a first information capture device
d1) which captures first information with first non-object-identifying parameter data from a first group of the objects, which comprises at least one object in a first information capture region along the tracking route for the defined direction of movement and
d2) is designed in such a manner that a data profile specific to the first group, including at least one of a group footprint or a group stamp of the object group, can be generated from the captured first non-object-identifying parameter data,
e) a first communication interface which is connected to the first information capture device and provides the data profile specific to the first group and received from the first information capture device for data evaluation based on a similarity comparison of data profiles,
f) at least one second information capture device
f1) which respectively captures second information with second non-object-identifying parameter data from a second group of the objects, which comprises at least one object, in a further, second information capture region spaced apart from the first information capture region along the tracking route for the defined direction of movement at regular intervals of time or for a calculated time window after the capture in the first information capture region for each interval of time or for each time window, and
f2) is designed in such a manner that a second data profile specific to the second group can be generated from the respectively captured second non-object-identifying parameter data,
g) a second communication interface which is connected to the second information capture device and provides the data profile specific to the second group and received from the second information capture device for the data evaluation based on the data profile similarity comparison,
h) an evaluation device which is connected to the first communication interface and to the second communication interface and is designed in such a manner that
h1) each data profile specific to the second group and provided by the second communication device is compared with the data profile specific to the first group and provided by the first communication device using parameter data,
h2) if it is determined, during the data profile similarity comparison respectively carried out, that the correlation between the first non-object-identifying parameter data and the second non-object-identifying parameter data is so great that the respective parameter data at least partially correspond, a statement can be made on the successful tracking of at least some of the objects captured in the first group along the tracking route between the two information capture regions and an item of tracking information can be generated that the second group comprises at least some of the objects of the first group, otherwise such a statement is not possible and the tracking information is not generated.
