Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of highway inspection, and in particular relates to a highway guardrail self-moving guiding robot for an intelligent network environment. Background Art

[0002] Tidal commuting on weekdays, large-scale tourism on holidays, and sudden traffic accidents can easily cause long-term, long-distance, and difficult-to-dissipate congestion nodes and slow-moving sections on bottleneck sections such as highway bridges and tunnels. Vehicles on highways travel at high speeds. In bad weather, visibility is low and braking performance is weakened. Vehicles behind can easily rear-end slow-moving vehicles in front, causing secondary accidents, further exacerbating congestion and forming a vicious cycle. You may face the following problems:

[0003] (1) Increased risk of rear-end collision

[0004] During holidays, as a large number of people choose to travel, road congestion becomes a common problem. In this case, the vehicles behind may have difficulty noticing the traffic situation ahead in time due to obstructed vision or distracted attention, thus increasing the risk of rear-end collision.

[0005] (2) It limits the effective communication between traffic management personnel and vehicle owners or related personnel

[0006] In some cases, traffic management personnel need to provide instructions, warnings or obtain necessary information to vehicle owners, which is essential for smooth traffic flow and accident prevention. This limitation leads to the inability of effective communication between traffic management personnel and vehicle owners or other relevant personnel, which in turn increases the difficulty of managing and coordinating traffic. This may lead to delays or failures in information, and vehicle owners may not be able to obtain necessary guidance and warnings in a timely manner, which has a negative impact on traffic safety and smoothness.

[0007] (3) Unable to obtain real-time road conditions and traffic information

[0008] Traffic management departments and drivers are unable to obtain timely road conditions and traffic information, which may lead to traffic decisions based on outdated or inaccurate data, increasing the risk of traffic jams and accidents. Inaccurate traffic data may cause vehicles to idle for long periods of time and increase driving distance, thereby increasing fuel consumption and emissions, increasing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and having a negative impact on the environment.

[0009] (4) Traditional congestion relief methods are costly, risky, and inefficient

[0010] In order to effectively relieve congestion, a large number of traffic police need to be dispatched to the scene to conduct command and guidance work. This will take up a lot of police resources, especially in the case of severe congestion, more manpower is needed to deal with it, which will put pressure on the police department and affect the execution of other police tasks. The working environment of traffic police at congestion sites such as highways is also quite dangerous. They need to be in high-speed traffic and face the risk of being hit by unruly drivers. They may even face the threat of other accidents and injuries, which poses a serious threat to the safety of traffic police. In addition, the large amount of human resources and related equipment required for congestion relief will result in high costs.

[0011] (5) Low efficiency of emergency response and traffic control

[0012] Lack of connection may lead to untimely or inaccurate information transmission, and ineffective cooperation and coordinated actions between departments. This may lead to confusion, conflict or duplication of work, thus affecting the accuracy and efficiency of emergency response and traffic control. At the same time, it will also affect the speed and quality of handling disasters and accidents, leading to greater losses and risks.

[0013] The above factors greatly affect and restrict the efficiency, safety and accuracy of traffic management and emergency response. Summary of the invention
