DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and not used to limit the scope of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present application, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes to the present application, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the present application.

[0034] Embodiment: as shown in the drawings, a method and device for detecting and warning high beam of vehicle at night Figures 1-4

[0035] Specific implementation steps include: ​

[0036] S1, measuring whether there is a vehicle passing through each lane by a vehicle detection device;

[0037] S2, if there is a vehicle passing through, transmitting a signal to a photoelectric sensor for measuring the brightness of the vehicle light;

[0038] S3, classifying the brightness detection value by fuzzy clustering analysis to analyze and determine the high beam vehicle;

[0039] S4, if a high beam vehicle appears, multi-directional warning is performed on the high beam vehicle and the surrounding area.

[0040] The specific structure of the device includes a vehicle detection module, an information transmission processing module 1, a warning module, a continuous shooting module, etc. The vehicle detection module is installed in the middle of the lane for detecting the presence of vehicles. The information transmission processing module 1 monitors the brightness of the vehicle light in real time and transmits data for brightness value analysis. The warning module is used for warning the presence of high beam in the two-way lane. The continuous shooting module is used to continuously shoot the high beam vehicle 5 after the warning is completed to determine the subsequent brightness and store it for analysis.

[0041] Steps S1 to S2 are performed:

[0042] The vehicle detection module includes a geomagnetic sensor 2, which is installed in the middle of each lane for detecting whether a vehicle passes through.

[0043] The information receiving and processing module includes a photoelectric sensor 7, a microcontroller 8 and an Internet of Things transmission module 9. The photoelectric sensor 7 is arranged at the right side of the road. The output end of the photoelectric sensor 7 is connected to the input end of the microcontroller 8. The output end of the geomagnetic sensor 2 is connected to the input end of the photoelectric sensor 7.

[0044] The geomagnetic sensor 2 is in the default start state. When a car passes through the geomagnetic sensor 2, the geomagnetic sensor 2 converts the geomagnetic signal of the passing vehicle into an electrical signal and sends it to the photoelectric sensor 7. The photoelectric sensor 7 is started immediately. If no vehicle is detected, the geomagnetic sensor 2 remains started.

[0045] When the photoelectric sensor 7 receives the electrical signal from the geomagnetic sensor 2 indicating that a vehicle has passed through, the photoelectric sensor 7 is started immediately and starts detecting the brightness value of the vehicle light. The brightness value detected within 2.5 seconds after the photoelectric sensor 7 is turned on is used as the detection data.

[0046] Step S3 is performed:

[0047] The analysis determines whether the high beam vehicle 5 is turned on by classifying and storing the detection data, and performing fuzzy clustering analysis on the accumulated data to obtain an accurate feature vector interval, which forms a feature vector sample set after being updated, and the feature vector sample set is the standard for determining whether a vehicle has its high beam turned on.

[0048] The specific process of the server performing fuzzy clustering analysis on the accumulated data is as follows:

[0049] The server selects n groups of collected photoelectric sensor 7 import data as a set of initial sample theory domain from the database, and sets the collected data as A1(X1, Y1), A2(X2, Y2), A3(X3, Y3), A4(X4, Y4), and A5(X5, Y5), where X represents the light intensity value, and Y represents the light receiving duration.

[0050] The similarity relationship is established according to the monitoring data, and the Euclidean distance method is used to establish the similarity relationship:

[0051]

[0052] Taking clustering light intensity data as an example, the following are the steps of using K-Means algorithm to cluster and calculate light intensity value data:

[0053] First, determine three centroids according to the detection analysis requirements: low beam brightness cluster B1, high beam brightness cluster B2, and high-intensity light brightness cluster B3;

[0054] Then, calculate the distances between X i (i = 1, 2 …… 5) and B1, B2, and B3 three centroids respectively:

[0055] Taking point i as an example: ΔX i1 = |X i -B1|, ΔX i2 = |X2-B2|, ΔX i3 = |X3-B3|;

[0056] At this time, judge the values of ΔX i1 , ΔX i2 , and ΔX i3 , if ΔX i2 is the smallest, then ΔX i2 is the closest to B2, and if Y i2 also meets the accepted light signal duration, then A i is classified into the high beam brightness cluster B2, and A i is determined as a high beam vehicle. The low beam brightness cluster B1 and the high-intensity light brightness cluster B3 are classified and analyzed in the same way.

[0057] When all the data is "clustered", the average of the sum of Xi in each cluster is recalculated, so that the new centroid of each cluster is obtained as the updated standard detection sample, that is

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, n respectively represents the number of elements in each cluster, X i respectively represent the elements in the low beam brightness cluster, the high beam brightness cluster, and the high-intensity light brightness cluster.

[0060] The above steps are repeated according to the obtained three new centroids E1', E2', and E3', so as to construct a dynamic clustering diagram, until the calculated centroid no longer changes, so as to obtain the standard high beam brightness cluster judgment interval.

[0061] Through fuzzy clustering analysis, it is assumed that X and Y in A data in a sample set {A1, A2, A3, …, A n} meet the high beam light intensity condition parameters and the expected light signal duration condition parameters, respectively, and the set data {A1, A2, A3, …, A n} is marked as a high beam vehicle.

[0062] The light intensity numerical centroid division interval is: low beam brightness cluster B1 [1000cd, 1450cd), high beam brightness cluster B2 [1450cd, 3000cd), and high-intensity light brightness cluster B3 [3000cd, +∞), wherein cd is the unit of light: candela.

[0063] The light signal duration division interval is: low beam brightness duration cluster C1 [0s, 2s), and high beam brightness duration cluster C2 [2s, +∞), wherein s is the unit of time: second.

[0064] After the above fuzzy clustering analysis, if there is a sample that meets the condition parameters, a signal is sent to the microcontroller 8, and the high beam vehicle is determined, and the microcontroller 8 is analyzed and processed.

[0065] Step S4 is performed:

[0066] The warning module includes a voice warning device 4, and the voice warning device 4 is arranged on the left side of the road.

[0067] The specific working process of the warning module is that the voice warning device 4 sets three voice reminder fields as "Please switch to low beam in time", "Please pay attention to the high beam vehicle in the opposite lane, and pay attention to the road conditions in time", and "There is a vehicle coming, please switch to low beam in time". The microcontroller 8 sends the arranged high beam vehicle signal to the voice warning device 4. When the vehicle comes from the lane and the vehicle in the lane is a high beam vehicle, the voice warning devices of the lane A 11 and the lane B 22 start to warn and remind, respectively. The content of the voice warning device 4 for the high beam vehicle in the lane is "Please switch to low beam in time", and the content of the voice warning device 4 for the vehicle 6 in the opposite lane is "Please pay attention to the high beam vehicle in the opposite lane, and pay attention to the road conditions in time".

[0068] If the adjacent geomagnetic sensor 2 of the lane B 22 detects a vehicle coming at this time, the geomagnetic sensor 2 simultaneously transmits the vehicle signal of the opposite lane B 22 to the warning device of the lane A 11. The voice warning device 4 can additionally warn the high beam vehicle 5; "There is a vehicle coming, please switch to low beam in time".

[0069] After steps S1 to S4 are performed, the snapshot reporting is performed, and the specific implementation is as follows:

[0070] The continuous shooting module includes an electronic continuous shooting device 3, the electronic continuous shooting device 3 and the voice warning device 4 are arranged on the left side of the road, and the output end of the electronic continuous shooting device 3 is connected with the input end of the microcontroller 8.

[0071] The specific working mode of the continuous shooting module is that the continuous shooting module is started immediately after the voice warning device 4 ends the warning, and the continuous shooting link of 5 photos with an interval of 0.5 seconds and a duration of 2 seconds is performed, which is used to detect whether the high beam vehicle 5 is switched to the low beam in time. If the vehicle still maintains the high beam after the continuous shooting of several photos, the vehicle information is stored in the background server through the microcontroller 8, and further analysis, processing and information transmission are performed.

[0072] According to the relevant traffic rules formulated by the state, the high beam should be switched to the low beam in most cases, and the high beam and the low beam should be alternately changed for special conditions to achieve the warning effect. Therefore, if the vehicle maintains the low beam and the high beam alternately changes after the continuous shooting, the vehicle is considered to switch the light in time and maintain the traffic order. If the vehicle still maintains the high beam after the continuous shooting, the relevant information is transmitted to the background through the microcontroller 8 for further arrangement and transmission.

[0073] It should be pointed out finally that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the specific embodiments of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and any modification or equivalent replacement without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
