Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle skipping station management systems and methods, and more specifically, to a system and method for identifying and managing vehicle skipping stations based on passenger data. Background Art

[0002] "Skipping a stop" was a term used in the early 1980s. Back then, buses would skip certain stops without stopping, regardless of whether there were people waiting. This was because the bus had no passengers getting off at that stop, so the driver and crew would simply drive on without stopping to save time.

[0003] During rush hours in the morning and evening, buses often stop at platforms with no one getting on or off. This inefficiency increases the number of unnecessary stops, which prolongs passengers' travel time and prevents them from reaching their destinations quickly. It also causes drivers to start and stop the vehicle frequently, resulting in insufficient energy use and waste, increasing the cost of using the bus. It also causes certain traffic congestion.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a system and method for identifying and managing vehicles that skip stations based on passenger data to improve the waste of time and energy caused by parking at stations where no one gets on or off, and further enhance the bus riding experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an identification and management system and method for vehicle skipping stations based on passenger data.

[0006] The present application provides a method and method for identifying and managing vehicle skipping stations based on passenger data, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The system for identifying and managing vehicle skipping stops based on passenger data includes:

[0008] A GPS module installed in the bus to monitor the location of the bus and the next bus stop in real time;

[0009] A skipped stop reminder module is installed in the bus to remind the driver if he / she has skipped a stop;

[0010] A skipped stop judgment module is provided in the bus and is used to judge whether a stop has been skipped;

[0011] A biometric recognition module is installed at a bus stop to monitor whether there are any waiting passengers at the bus stop;

[0012] A get-off button module, which is installed at the bus's exit door and is used by passengers to inform the driver in advance that they need to get off at the next stop;

[0013] The get-off button module, the biometric identification module, the skipped-station judgment module, the GPS module and the skipped-station prompt module are communicatively connected to each other.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the get-off button module, the biometric recognition module, the skipped-station judgment module, the GPS module and the skipped-station prompt module cooperate with each other to determine whether there are passengers waiting at the bus stop and whether there are passengers in the car who need to get off. The skipped-station judgment module then conducts identification and analysis to determine whether the stop has been skipped, thereby reducing the time wasted at stops and the energy of the car, while alleviating traffic pressure.

[0015] Furthermore, the biometric recognition module includes but is not limited to a panoramic camera and an infrared sensor.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the biometric module is mainly used to identify the number of passengers waiting in the bus stop. The use of a panoramic camera can avoid the situation where passengers hide on the back of the platform in hot, rainy or snowy weather and cannot be identified.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a boarding button module, and the boarding button module is connected to the skipping station judgment module via Internet telecommunications. The number of the boarding button modules is consistent with the number of bus station lines and is at least one.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, since some bus stops often stop for multiple bus lines, a boarding button module is set up. Passengers can use the boarding button module according to their own riding needs to avoid misjudgment by the biometric module and the skipping station judgment module, so that the system can further accurately optimize the route and reduce unnecessary stops.

[0019] Furthermore, the skipped-stop judgment modules on buses on the same route are connected to each other via the Internet.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, such a setting can enable buses on the same route to cooperate with each other for scientific, reasonable and efficient scheduling, reduce unnecessary stops, avoid overloading of passengers, and evenly distribute passengers on the buses.

[0021] Furthermore, the get-off button module, the skipping station judgment module and the skipping station prompt module are connected by wire.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, due to the characteristics of the terrain, some bus routes may pass through tunnels, culverts and other scenes with poor signals. In order to avoid the situation where passengers use the get-off button module and the poor signal is not fed back to the skip-station judgment module in time, resulting in missed stops.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a broadcast module, which is set in the bus and is used to broadcast relevant content in the car to passengers, including but not limited to reminding passengers in advance that they need to get off the bus and please use the get-off button module in advance, and reminding passengers that the next stop will be skipped.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, the announcement module can enable customers to understand the station information in real time, avoiding the danger that may be caused by someone using the get-off button module when the driver is about to pass the station, causing an emergency brake.

[0025] A method for skipping a vehicle stop based on passenger data: The method comprises the following steps:

[0026] S1. When the bus leaves the current bus stop, the biometric recognition module at the next bus stop identifies the number of passengers waiting at the bus stop and transmits the identification result to the nearest skipping station judgment module through the GPS module;

[0027] S2. When the recognition result shows that there are passengers waiting at the bus stop, the stop judgment module analyzes the get-off button module at the same time. If it is recognized that there are passengers in the bus who need to get off, the bus stops at the next stop;

[0028] S3. When the recognition result shows that there are passengers waiting at the bus stop, the skipping station judgment module simultaneously detects the get-off button module. If it is recognized that there are no passengers in the bus who need to get off, the bus is connected to the bus on the same route behind it and determines the distance through the GPS module. If the distance is small and the number of waiting passengers is small, the skipping station judgment module notifies the skipping station prompting module to skip the stop, and at the same time, the skipping station judgment module prompts the bus on the same route behind it to stop at the next stop; if the distance between the buses on the same route behind it is large and the number of waiting passengers is large, the bus stops at the next bus stop;

[0029] S4. When the recognition result shows that there are no passengers waiting at the bus stop, the skip-stop judgment module simultaneously analyzes the get-off button module. If it is also recognized that the passengers in the bus do not need to get off, the skip-stop judgment module sends an instruction to the skip-stop prompt module to prompt the driver to skip the next stop.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] (1) In order to reduce unnecessary stops, the get-off button module, the biometric recognition module, the skip-stop judgment module, the GPS module and the skip-stop prompt module cooperate with each other to determine whether there are passengers waiting at the bus stop and whether there are passengers in the bus who need to get off. The skip-stop judgment module then conducts identification and analysis to determine whether the bus needs to skip a stop, thereby reducing the time wasted at stops and the energy consumption of the vehicle, and relieving traffic pressure at the same time;

[0032] (2) In order to further improve the efficiency and utilization of buses, the skipping stop judgment modules on buses on the same route are connected to each other through Internet communication. This setting enables buses on the same route to cooperate with each other for scientific, reasonable and efficient scheduling, reduce unnecessary stops, avoid overloading of passengers, and evenly distribute passengers on the buses.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0043] The present application discloses a system for identifying and managing vehicle skipping stops based on passenger data, including:

[0044] GPS module 1, which is installed in the bus and used to monitor the location of the bus and the next bus stop in real time;

[0045] The skipping stop prompting module 2 is installed in the bus to remind the driver whether he has skipped a stop;

[0046] The skipping station judging module 3 is provided in the bus and is used to judge whether a stop has been skipped;

[0047] Biometric identification module 4, which is installed at the bus stop and is used to monitor whether there are waiting passengers at the bus stop;

[0048] Get-off button module 5, which is installed at the bus's get-off door and is used by passengers to inform the driver in advance that they need to get off at the next stop;

[0049] The get-off button module 5, the biometric identification module 4, the skipped-station judgment module 3, the GPS module 1 and the skipped-station prompt module 2 are communicatively connected with each other.

[0050] See also Figure 1 The biometric recognition module 4 includes but is not limited to a panoramic camera and an infrared sensor. The biometric recognition module 4 is mainly used to identify the number of passengers waiting in the bus stop. The use of a panoramic camera can avoid the situation where passengers hide on the back of the platform in hot, rainy or snowy weather and cannot be identified.

[0051] See also Figure 1, and also includes a boarding button module, and the boarding button module is connected to the skipping station judgment module 3 through the Internet telecommunications. The number of boarding button modules is consistent with the number of bus stop lines and is at least one. Since some bus stops often stop multiple bus lines, a boarding button module is set. Passengers can use the boarding button module according to their own riding needs to avoid misjudgment by the biometric recognition module 4 and the skipping station judgment module 3, so that the system can further accurately optimize the route and reduce unnecessary stops.

[0052] See also Figure 1 The skipping stop judgment modules 3 on the buses on the same route are connected to each other through Internet communication. Such a setting can enable the buses on the same route to cooperate with each other for scientific, reasonable and efficient scheduling, reduce unnecessary stops, avoid overloading of passengers, and make passengers evenly distributed on the buses.

[0053] See also Figure 1 The get-off button module 5, the skip-stop judgment module 3 and the skip-stop prompt module 2 are connected by wires. Due to the terrain characteristics, some bus routes may pass through tunnels, culverts and other scenes with poor signals. In order to avoid the situation where passengers use the get-off button module 5 and the poor signal is not fed back to the skip-stop judgment module 3 in time, causing them to miss the stop.

[0054] See also Figure 1 , and also includes a broadcast module 7, which is set in the bus and is used to broadcast relevant content in the car to passengers, including but not limited to reminding passengers in advance that they need to get off and please use the get off button module 5 in advance, and reminding passengers that the next stop will be skipped. The broadcast module 7 can enable customers to understand the station information in real time, avoiding the danger that may be caused by someone using the get off button module 5 when the bus is about to pass the stop, causing the driver to brake suddenly.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] Method for skipping vehicle stops based on passenger data:

[0057] When the bus leaves the current bus stop, the biometric identification module 4 at the next bus stop identifies the number of passengers waiting at the bus stop and transmits the identification result to the nearest skipping station determination module 3 through the GPS module 1.

[0058] When the recognition result shows that there are passengers waiting at the bus stop, the skipping station judgment module 3 simultaneously analyzes the get-off button module 5. If it is recognized that there are passengers in the bus who need to get off, the bus will stop at the next stop.

[0059] Example 3:

[0060] The method for skipping a vehicle stop based on passenger data differs from the second embodiment in that:

[0061] When the bus leaves the current bus stop, the biometric identification module 4 at the next bus stop identifies the number of passengers waiting at the bus stop and transmits the identification result to the nearest skipping station determination module 3 through the GPS module 1.

[0062] When the recognition result shows that there are passengers waiting at the bus stop, the skipping station judgment module 3 simultaneously detects the get-off button module 5. If it is recognized at the same time that there are no passengers in the bus who need to get off, the distance between the bus and the bus on the same route behind is determined through the GPS module 1. If the distance is small and the number of waiting passengers is small, the skipping station judgment module 3 notifies the skipping station prompting module 2 to skip the stop, and at the same time, the skipping station judgment module 3 prompts the bus on the same route behind to stop at the next stop; if the distance between the buses on the same route behind is large and the number of waiting passengers is large, it will stop at the next bus stop.

[0063] Example 4:

[0064] The method for skipping a vehicle stop based on passenger data differs from the second and third embodiments in that:

[0065] When the bus leaves the current bus stop, the biometric identification module 4 at the next bus stop identifies the number of passengers waiting at the bus stop and transmits the identification result to the nearest skipping station determination module 3 through the GPS module 1.

[0066] When the recognition result shows that there are no passengers waiting at the bus stop, the skip station judgment module 3 analyzes the get-off button module 5 at the same time. If it is recognized that the passengers in the bus do not need to get off, the skip station judgment module 3 sends an instruction to the skip station prompt module 2 to prompt the driver to skip the next stop.

[0067] The implementation principle of the present invention is: using the get-off button module 5, the biometric recognition module 4, the skipped station judgment module 3, the GPS module 1 and the skipped station prompt module 2 to cooperate with each other to determine whether there are passengers waiting at the bus stop and whether there are passengers in the car who need to get off. Then the skipped station judgment module 3 identifies and analyzes to determine whether the stop is skipped, thereby reducing the time wasted at the stop and the car energy, while alleviating traffic pressure.

[0068] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
