System for data collection and data transfer from a vehicle

A system for data collection and data transfer from a vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one data collecting device provided in or on the vehicle,
• at least one data recording and storage device provided in or on the vehicle and connected to the at least one data collecting device,
• at least one first wireless communication device provided in or on the vehicle and connected to the at least one data recording and storage device, and
• at least one second wireless communication device located outside the vehicle, wherein the first and second wireless communication devices are capable of establishing a wireless connection therebetween providing high throughput data reception and transmission,
• wherein
• the at least one first and the at least one second wireless communication devices each contain an antenna with a narrow radiation pattern beam,
• the antenna of the at least one second wireless communication device is directed substantially along the vehicle's path such that it illuminates by a narrow beam a portion of the vehicle's path,
• the antenna of the at least one first wireless communication device is directed such that it illuminates by its narrow beam the antenna of the at least one second wireless communication device when the vehicle is located within said portion of the vehicle's path,
• the first and second wireless communication devices are capable of establishing a high throughput wireless connection while the vehicle is moving along the portion of the vehicle's path that is illuminated by the antenna beam of the at least one second wireless communication device,
• the first and second wireless communication devices establish the wireless connection in any millimeter-wave frequency band, and
• wherein beamwidths of the antennas of the first and second wireless communication devices are in the range from 1 to 5 degrees.
