Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of school bus safety assurance systems, and in particular to a school bus safety assurance system for a driver who suddenly falls ill. Background Art
[0002] School buses are specialized vehicles used to transport students to and from school, typically younger students. If a school bus driver experiences a sudden illness, they may struggle to control the vehicle, potentially preventing an emergency stop and potentially compromising safety. Therefore, a school bus safety assurance system is essential. Existing school bus safety assurance systems for driver illness present the following challenges.
[0003] 1. The existing school bus safety assurance system is unable to detect and prevent the physical condition of school bus drivers in advance, resulting in the sudden onset of drivers' illnesses, which poses a hidden danger to the safe operation of school buses.
[0004] 2. The existing school bus safety assurance system is unable to remotely intervene in the school bus. When the driver suddenly falls ill and has difficulty controlling the vehicle, the uncontrolled school bus continues to drive, thereby reducing the safety of the school bus during driving.
[0005] 3. The existing school bus safety assurance system is unable to contact outside personnel as soon as possible after the driver suffers from a sudden illness, causing panic among students in the school bus. At the same time, the driver cannot get effective help, leading to an even more dangerous situation. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a school bus safety guarantee system for the driver's sudden illness in order to solve the above problems.
[0007] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

It implements unified control and supervision of a processing module, a communication module, a positioning module, a call module, a pressure sensor, a camera, a heart rate bracelet, a temperature detector, a background monitoring unit, a brake assist unit, a laser radar, a speed sensor, an emergency button, and an automatic alarm. It includes the following processes:
[0009] Process 1: When the school bus driver is in use, the detection agency retrieves the pressure sensor data to detect whether the school bus driver is on duty;
[0010] Process 2: Use the camera to capture the school bus driving position information to achieve driver safety monitoring;
[0011] Process 3: The heart rate bracelet can automatically monitor the driver's real-time heart rate information and clearly monitor the blood oxygen level. The temperature detector can detect whether the driver has a fever and check the driver's vital signs.
[0012] Process 4: The processing module in the processing mechanism can automatically process the monitored information data and send it to the external monitoring device through the communication module;
[0013] Process 5: Use the positioning module to accurately locate the school bus's position to determine its running trajectory and operating status;
[0014] Process 6: The call module can directly communicate with the people in the car to understand the actual situation and remotely comfort and instruct the students in the car;
[0015] Process 7: The backend monitoring unit in the vehicle control mechanism can realize remote online supervision of the school bus. Backend personnel can remotely control the school bus. The brake assist system can stop the school bus if the driver is unable to operate the school bus. The lidar can measure whether there are obstacles around the school bus. The speed sensor can detect the speed of the school bus.
[0016] Process 8: If a school bus driver becomes ill and is unable to move, pressing the emergency button activates an automatic alarm, enabling remote communication and networking, allowing back-office personnel to receive timely notifications and provide remote safety assurance. Furthermore, the control unit in process 1 can control other hardware devices and make appropriate decisions based on the feedback information, thus assisting the school bus driver.
[0017] Furthermore, the pressure sensor detects the driver on the school bus to determine whether the driver is in the cab.
[0018] Furthermore, the image information captured by the camera in the process 2 can be remotely retrieved and viewed by background personnel, and the driver can be remotely viewed.
[0019] Furthermore, in the process 3, the driver wears a heart rate bracelet to detect the driver's personal heart rate and blood oxygen value, and uses a temperature detector to detect the body temperature to monitor the driver's basic physical health status.
[0020] Furthermore, in the process 4, the processing mechanism processes and aggregates various types of information data, and the communication module sends the information data to the background network.
[0021] Furthermore, the positioning module in the process 5 detects and records the running track and running status of the school bus, and locks and confirms the specific location of the school bus when the driver encounters an emergency and cannot move.
[0022] Furthermore, the call module in the process 6 can automatically connect to the emergency contact person in the background after an emergency occurs.
[0023] Furthermore, the background supervision unit in the process 7 can realize remote online supervision of the school bus, the background personnel remotely control the school bus, the brake assist device brakes the school bus when the school bus driver is unable to operate it, the laser radar measures whether there are obstacles around the school bus, and the speed sensor detects the speed of the school bus, so that the school bus can perform an emergency assisted stop.
[0024] Furthermore, the emergency button in the process 8 can be automatically activated by the driver to trigger the automatic alarm, quickly connect and communicate with the outside world, and ensure the safety of the school bus.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] 1. The present invention monitors and determines the school bus driver's heart rate, blood oxygen level and body temperature through the operation of the detection mechanism, the use of a heart rate bracelet, a body temperature detector and a camera, and issues a warning before an abnormal situation occurs; so that the driver can be informed in advance and pay attention, and make preparations for prevention in advance, thereby reducing safety hazards when the school bus is driving;
[0027] 2. The present invention utilizes the vehicle control mechanism to detect the vehicle in an emergency through the brake assist device, laser radar and vehicle speed sensor, and automatically brakes the school bus when necessary to prevent the school bus from continuing to run uncontrolled, thereby improving the safety of the school bus during driving;
[0028] 3. The present invention triggers an automatic alarm when the driver presses the emergency button, so that the backstage personnel get the message and automatically start a dialogue with the school bus, so as to inquire about the driver's condition and soothe the students' emotions in the school bus, so that students can effectively save themselves and help the driver to take emergency measures, thereby avoiding more dangerous situations.
