Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an intelligent inspection and registration system for a ferry, and belongs to the technical field of traffic information systems. Background Art

[0002] Ferry is a mode of transportation that uses ferries to carry passengers, cars or trains across rivers, harbors or straits. The ferry crossings for ferrying passengers, cars and vehicles have a series of facilities for the ferry to dock and leave, mainly including waterside walls, berthing docks, ramps for vehicles and passengers to get on and off the ferry, approach bridges, and waters for the ferry to berth. With the rapid development of the economy along the Yangtze River, the average daily number of ferry vehicles has shown a steady and progressive trend. Through visits to ferry vehicles along the Yangtze River and research, it was found that the charging model in the ferry scenario in the existing technology is different from that of the open toll station. Although mobile payment and ETC payment modules have been added to simplify the ticket sales process, the vehicle release operation method affects the traffic efficiency and it is difficult to fully implement the ETC charging system.

[0003] The existing method of releasing vehicles and checking tickets is a manual "one vehicle, one check" mode: after collecting the ferry tickets, the release staff will guide the ferry vehicles to board the ferry in a safe and orderly manner. After the ferry leaves the dock, the release staff will describe the collected ferry tickets one by one according to the time and ship number and store them in the warehouse. There are the following problems: (1) Low traffic efficiency: All ferry vehicles must stop and the release staff will collect the ferry tickets one by one, which greatly affects the efficiency of the terminal's vehicle release operation; (2) There are errors in the registration data: All ferry tickets must be registered one by one into the fee management system. The labor intensity of the release staff is high and the working hours are long, which will inevitably lead to missed and mischecked tickets; (3) It is impossible to check vehicles that evade fares: Although manual ticket checking can largely avoid the occurrence of fare evasion and missed tickets, it is impossible to verify vehicles that board the ferry without tickets; (4) High cost and increased management difficulty: The high workload of front-line employees affects their safety focus and affects performance appraisal and personnel management. In order to solve the drawbacks brought about by the traditional terminal vehicle release and ticket checking operations, expand the scale of production and operation, speed up the passage of vehicles and ferry turnover efficiency, reduce the backlog of peak traffic flow, improve the ferry operation throughput capacity and efficiency, and adapt to the requirements of informatization and intelligent development, it is imperative to develop an intelligent ferry and ferry intelligent inspection system.

[0057] The working principle, function and effect of the present invention are as follows:

[0058] The lane license plate recognition system captures multiple times, the first license plate recognition camera captures the license plate, and recognizes the lane license plate. For vehicles that are not captured, the ticketing system adds a second capture function key and controls the first license plate recognition camera to capture twice. The second capture ensures that vehicles with clear license plates will not be unrecognized due to vehicle obstruction, and the license plate is transmitted to the ticketing system via the bus or wirelessly.

[0059] The ticketing system is connected to the financial system of the station management system, performs settlement services with the financial system, sells tickets to corresponding vehicles based on license plate information and ticketing logic, and transmits ticketing data to the station management system for storage, which is stored in the ticketing database;

[0060] The ticketing system is connected to the peripherals through the license plate input unit to input the license plate information of the temporary license plate vehicle, motorcycle, agricultural and trade vehicle, special vehicle, and special vehicle on the opposite lane, which is used to manually modify the corresponding license plate for the vehicle whose recognition result is incorrect by the lane license plate recognition system. In the ticketing logic of the ticketing system, the license plate information of the unlicensed vehicle is allocated to the corresponding ferry according to the ticket purchase time of the last vehicle. The temporary license plate vehicle, motorcycle, agricultural and trade vehicle, and special vehicle are automatically allocated the license plate information starting with the word according to the first word input by the license plate input unit, such as "temporary, motorcycle, agricultural, special".

[0061] Dangerous goods vehicles are identified and checked by the first license plate recognition camera, and the type is unified as dangerous goods. The specific type is confirmed manually. For special vehicles lined up in the lane, the license plate is recognized and processed normally. For special vehicles in the opposite lane, the special vehicle type key of the license plate input unit is tapped twice to stack the captured lane license plates. The current vehicle in the opposite lane manually enters the correct license plate, and when the lane vehicle is processed, the license plate is displayed again.

[0062] By adding the function of manually inputting license plates and combining them with the lane license plate recognition system, the accuracy of license plate recognition at the ticketing end can be increased and avoid relying solely on license plate capture and recognition.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the ferry includes lanes a1, a2, b1, b2, b3, and b4. The license plate recognition system on the ferry includes two second license plate recognition cameras on the left and right that fully cover the lanes on the ship. The second license plate recognition camera on the left covers lanes a1, a2, b1, b2, and b3, and the second license plate recognition camera on the right covers lanes a1, a2, b2, b3, and b4, ensuring full coverage of the lanes on the ship to avoid recognition loss in extreme following conditions.

[0064] The second license plate recognition camera is used to capture, recognize license plates, and collect vehicle feature information. The management module of the license plate recognition system on the ferry side manages the deduplication, configuration, data management, and storage of historical data of the second license plate recognition camera to filter out errors and redundant information. The ship number, capture time, IP address, license plate number, and captured photos of the second license plate recognition camera are transmitted to the station management system wirelessly, and historical data is stored. The IP address is used to distinguish the navigation direction;

[0065] At night, when there is no fill light and the camera recognition rate relies only on ambient light, it is close to 100%, but there are still cases of misrecognition. By setting at least one fill light on the ferry, the fill light is connected to the ship gangway linkage switch and relay. At night, when the ferry approaches the dock and the ship gangway linkage switch is started, the fill light is controlled by the relay to turn on, and fill light is provided for the second license plate recognition camera to achieve the same camera effect as during the day. When sailing, the relay controls the fill light to turn off, which does not affect navigation safety, thereby improving the recognition accuracy of the license plate recognition system on the ferry side in a variety of complex following situations and in bad weather.

[0066] The second license plate recognition camera communicates with the station management system through a wireless bridge, which is suitable for the wireless transmission mode of ferry scenes to ensure the timeliness of inspection and recording. Specifically:

[0067] The wireless network bridge includes a one-to-many wireless transmission method, at least one industrial computer connected to the second license plate recognition camera via a local area network, a bridge auxiliary machine on board the ship connected to the industrial computer, and a shore-based network bridge host for transmitting data with multiple bridge auxiliary machines on board the ship and the station management system. The second license plate recognition camera uploads the data to the industrial computer, and after the industrial computer processes and packages the data, it is transmitted to the shore-based network bridge host through the bridge auxiliary machine on board the ship to realize data communication with the station management system. It has the advantages of always being in a local area network environment, no need to adjust the network architecture, and relatively stable transmission;

[0068] To address the network security issues of wireless LAN, we can encrypt data packets with passwords within the coverage of wireless network signals to prevent data leakage and illegal eavesdropping. We can strictly control access points through WPA encryption technology or WEB access authentication to ensure the security of access points. We can build a wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) to monitor wireless networks in real time without affecting network performance, and detect illegal attacks and intrusions in advance, effectively protecting the network security of wireless LAN.

[0069] The industrial computer is connected to the ferry system and controls the second license plate recognition camera to send ferry data at the end of the voyage for unified processing. The ship gangway of the ferry system is lifted, and the operating handle can be linked to give a semaphore to the industrial computer. The time given by the information is the voyage time of the ship; if the semaphore signal is discarded, the auxiliary judgment of the voyage time is 3 minutes. If no other vehicle license plate data is received within 3 minutes, it is determined that the ferry is over and this time is the voyage time of the ship.

[0070] The station-side management system configures the server of the station-side management system through the server configuration unit;

[0071] The station-side management system receives the ferry data of the license plate recognition system of the ferry side and stores it in the ferry database. The ticket inspection system calls the ticket database through the ticket inspection comparison service, generates a comparison database from the ferry database, and compares the license plate number of the ferry data and the license plate number of the ticket data within 24 hours before the ferry data with a fuzzy algorithm. The fuzzy algorithm determines the success of the comparison based on the 3-4 digits of the license plate number. When the comparison is successful, the corresponding ticket data in the comparison database is removed. When the data is compared and checked, the checked data can be no longer compared repeatedly, which reduces the workload of the program and improves efficiency. The ticket database includes a stranded vehicle library.

[0072] If the comparison is successful, the ferry data matches the corresponding ticket data, and the voyage information is generated and stored in the inspection database. If the comparison fails, the ferry data cannot match the corresponding ticket data, and the fare evasion information is generated and stored in the fare evasion database; the ticket database filters the inspection database through the inspection update unit to generate a stranded vehicle database;

[0073] The manual ticket checking unit of the ticket checking system is connected to an external device to input the boarding information, ticket supplement or free information of the corresponding voyage of the vehicle. After the manual ticket checking unit selects the voyage time adjustment, after selecting the corresponding ship, several voyages of the ship will automatically pop up for selection;

[0074] The real-time ticket checking query unit is used to query the real-time ticket checking database;

[0075] The fare evasion information query unit is connected to an external device to input time or license plate to query the fare evasion database. The fare evasion database includes a daily fare evasion report and a monthly fare evasion report. The daily fare evasion report and the monthly fare evasion report include vehicle boarding time, vehicle boarding ship number, vehicle boarding direction, vehicle information including license plate information, and status information. The status information includes fare evasion status, supplementary inspection status or free ticket status, so as to install three status screenings of daily fare evasion report, monthly fare evasion report and license plate;

[0076] The inspection and update unit updates the inspection and registration database or the fare evasion database in real time based on the license plate recognition system at the ferry end and the manual ticket inspection unit, changes the status information of the vehicles in the fare evasion database for supplementary inspection or free of charge, and displays the update notification of the fare evasion database;

[0077] Registration of fare-supplemented vehicle voyage: When the fare-supplemented vehicle purchases the ticket in a different place, the ticket number is entered through the manual ticket checking unit for ticket checking and the vehicle is assigned to the corresponding voyage. The vehicle information in the fare-supplementing database is assigned to the checking and recording database. The original fare-supplementing database data is retained. The amount, vehicle type, tonnage information, etc. are updated to the fare-supplementing database in real time after the fare is supplemented. The checking and recording update unit changes the fare-supplementing database to supplement the inspection.

[0078] Registration and query of free vehicle pass: input the license plate and pass number on the free pass through the manual ticket checking unit. The pass number satisfies the uniqueness check of the ticket checking system, and automatically changes to the boarding record closest in time. Compare the current time with the boarding time, and search 3.5 hours later and 1 hour earlier. After the vehicle gets on board, the data is transmitted to the fare evasion database and verified with the license plate on the free pass. After the verification is passed, a free pass status information is added to the blank field of the fare evasion database. If the verification fails, it will be manually verified together with the fare evasion vehicle after reaching the other side. If the verification fails, the blank field status is still the fare evasion status, and the ticket supplement process is required;

[0079] Free tickets can be queried by license plate and ticket number. For vehicles whose license plates are not captured in the lane but are captured on board, i.e. vehicles in the fare evasion database, whether to pay the fare is determined manually;

[0080] The station management system sets up and manages whitelists and graylists through the data management unit. The whitelists and graylists include name and license plate information for intelligent auditing and enhanced authority management.

[0081] In summary, it is effective to improve the recognition accuracy of the license plate recognition system at the ticketing end and the ferry end, compare the ferry data and ticketing data associated with the license plate, determine whether the fare is evaded, and realize intelligent inspection and registration. By replacing the traditional manual "one vehicle, one inspection" mode with intelligent inspection and registration, the traffic efficiency can be improved, the inspection and registration data errors and the workload of front-line employees can be reduced, the accuracy of inspection and registration can be improved, it is conducive to the inspection of vehicles that evade fares, and the avoidance of charging loopholes, and operational management can be strengthened, and management costs and difficulties can be reduced, thereby speeding up vehicle passage, ferry turnover efficiency, reducing the backlog of peak traffic flow, and improving the ferry operation throughput capacity and efficiency. It adapts to the requirements of informatization and intelligent development and is the basis for the comprehensive implementation of the ETC charging system.
