The angle and slope of the access points to the main road do not meet the standards, the traffic infrastructure is missing, and the sight distance is insufficient. Highway access points are accident-prone points. The access points are hidden and lack traffic language prompts. Vehicles do not slow down when passing through the access points and are easily blocked by sight distance, causing collisions, resulting in a high accident rate and mortality rate at highway access points. Therefore, access points are taken as key road traffic safety hazard inspection content.

[0089] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A method for checking road traffic safety hazards at a highway access point comprises the following steps:

[0090] (1) Relying on relevant road traffic safety standards, a knowledge system for the inspection of road traffic safety hazards at highway access points is established. The inspection of road traffic safety hazards at highway access points involves basic information such as: road name, road section speed limit, access point angle, access point slope, pile number information, number of motor vehicle lanes, as well as traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization, and safe sight distance. The actual identification of road traffic safety hazards involves many laws and regulations, so a comprehensive and detailed inspection of road traffic safety hazards at highway access points is conducted;

[0091] This knowledge system includes the basic information of highway access points and the types of hidden dangers that may exist in the corresponding traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization, and safe sight distances under different types of access points. It also includes hidden danger identification standards, location information of hidden danger inspection points, description of hidden danger content and treatment suggestions. The types of highway access points can be divided into 14 categories, namely, two-way two-lane right opening, two-way two-lane double-side opening, two-way two-lane right branch, two-way two-lane double-side branch, multi-lane central marking isolated right opening, multi-lane central marking isolated double-side opening, multi-lane central marking isolated right branch, multi-lane central marking isolated double-side branch, multi-lane central hard isolation without opening right opening, Multi-lane central hard isolation with no opening on the right side branch, multi-lane central hard isolation with opening on the right side, multi-lane central hard isolation with opening on both sides, multi-lane central hard isolation with opening on the right side branch, multi-lane central hard isolation with opening on both sides branch; check traffic markings including oncoming lane dividing line, same-direction lane dividing line, deceleration vibration marking line, pedestrian crossing line, yield line, non-motor vehicle lane line, pedestrian crossing warning marking line; check traffic signs including intersection warning signs and yield signs; safety facilities including speed bumps, crossing posts (warning posts), traffic lights (including yellow flashing lights); traffic organization is mainly channelization design; safe sight distance is whether there is any obstruction within the parking sight distance from the main road to the access entrance.

[0092] The knowledge system for checking road traffic safety hazards at highway access points constructed by the present invention is not limited to the determination of whether there are hazards at highway access points. More importantly, it is to determine the location information of road traffic safety hazard points and analyze the hazards, thereby ensuring the integrity, standardization and accuracy of the inspection of road conditions, traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization and safe sight distance hazards at highway access points.

[0093] (2) Based on the intelligent front-end equipment of vehicle-mounted high-definition camera, optical sensing system (including optical sensing device, differential filter, classifier), GPS measuring instrument, vehicle speed sensor, and altitude measuring instrument, multiple high-definition cameras are deployed on the modified vehicle to collect multi-view high-frequency road image data from different directions such as the left front, front, and right front; the optical sensing system is used to detect the edge of the road; the GPS measuring instrument is used to collect and obtain GPS information during the vehicle's driving process; the vehicle speed sensor is used to measure the vehicle speed information and the altitude measuring instrument is used to measure the altitude during the vehicle's driving process;

[0094] After the above information is collected, it is stored in the corresponding equipment storage center respectively, and time tags are used to match different data features to build standardized collection data, providing a data basis for subsequent highway access identification and safety hazard inspection.

[0095] (3) Map the data based on the GPS information of the image. The collected road image data is likely to be repetitive. To ensure the uniqueness of the road atlas, the sections that need to be specially inspected are manually cleaned from the original data according to the inspection content, and the starting and ending positions of the inspection sections are determined.

[0096] (4) Based on the markings of highway milestones and 100-meter stakes, the electronic stake numbers are marked on the system map, and each image has specific location information;

[0097] Use the images of the main camera and the right camera in the front-end acquisition device, manually find an image with any milestone in the main image, take the right camera image in the acquisition device as the reference, indicate the stake number information, and set a milestone every 1000m on the right side of the road and a 100-meter stake every 100m between each milestone according to the setting rule. The system automatically calculates the electronic stake number information of each image, that is, assigns the electronic stake number shown in the image. Based on the stake number information, the background automatically determines the up and down directions.

[0098] (5) Calibrate the road section according to the task creation information and collected pictures, including: road section name, region, jurisdiction, up and down directions, starting and ending pile numbers, inspection mileage, data collection time, and speed limit;

[0099] (6) Realize intelligent identification of highway access points and clarify the types of access points. Intelligent identification is mainly based on image recognition methods. Highway access points can be divided into two-way two-lane and multi-lane access points according to road conditions. Multi-lane access points can be divided into marked isolation and hard isolation according to the form of central isolation. Hard isolation can be divided into central opening and non-central opening. Finally, all the above types are classified and determined according to the location of the access point as right side and double side. The right side access point identification method and double side access point identification method are identified according to the above method;

[0100] The collected data is cyclically judged through the right-side and double-side access point identification methods, and the type and location information of the highway access point are finally determined to complete the highway access point identification.

[0101] After the location of the access point is determined, the access point that directly connects the unit door to the main road is identified as an opening through image data. Rural roads and roads built by factories and mines are used to solve local traffic problems, and the access points with service functions as the main function are branches.

[0102] Furthermore, the knowledge system for checking road traffic safety hazards at highway access points includes basic information about highway access points and types of hazards existing in traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization, and safe sight distances corresponding to different types of access points. It also includes hazard identification standards, location information of hazard checking points, description of hazard content, and suggestions for treatment.

[0103] Furthermore, the method for checking road traffic safety hazards at highway access points also includes:

[0104] (7) The road traffic safety hazard inspection method for highway access points is based on the constructed knowledge system for safety hazard inspection. The road traffic safety hazard inspection work is carried out at the highway access points from different aspects such as road conditions, traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization and safe sight distance.

[0105] Firstly, the potential road traffic safety hazards caused by unscientific access design are checked through the access angle and slope parameters in the road conditions, and the highway accesses are divided into different types for inspection using the highway access identification method; secondly, the traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities at the highway accesses are related to the type and location of the accesses. After constructing the basic information of the access and clarifying the type of access, the identification standards for the corresponding potential hazards of the above-mentioned inspection contents can be clarified; finally, the road conditions, traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization, and safe sight distance of the highway accesses are visually checked based on the collected pictures.

[0106] See also Figure 5 , the visual troubleshooting step includes:

[0107] 1) Determine the access point location by using the access point identification method, and point the access point identified in the method to the Ri+m (x i+m ,y i+m ) is set as the reference point O (0,0) ;

[0108] 2) Based on the content of the basic information database of the access point, (0,0) The best point O b(x,y) , where x = 0, y = 0, check whether the road conditions (including the slope of the access point and the access angle) pose any safety hazard;

[0109] 3) According to different access types, determine the best points for checking traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities, traffic organization, and traffic safety sight distance. b(x,y) , where x = 0, y = ± l g ,l g The distance or range between the inspection point and the reference point of the traffic sign specified in the relevant standards;

[0110] For example, the intersection warning sign has different positions according to different speed limits. Assuming the speed limit is 80 kilometers per hour, the warning sign is 80 meters ahead and the best point needs to be checked back 80 meters, then y = -80, that is, O b(0,-80) .

[0111] 4) Determine the best point Ob(x,y) The collected pictures below are the best viewing angles for checking road traffic safety hazards;

[0112] 5) Based on the image, confirm whether traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities are missing from the best viewing angle, and whether there are safety hazards in traffic organization and safe sight distance from the best viewing angle:

[0113] If there are no safety hazards at the best viewing angle, the hidden danger inspection for this point is completed;

[0114] If there are safety risks in traffic organization and safe sight distance under the best viewing angle, proceed to 8);

[0115] If traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities are missing from the best viewing angle, you need to enter 8) to confirm the details of traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities for hidden dangers;

[0116] 6) Increase or decrease the adjustment l through manual assistance g Values ​​are used to confirm whether traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities are missing before and after the best inspection points:

[0117] If you adjust l g If no traffic signs, traffic markings or safety facilities are found after the value is reached, they are deemed to be missing and the process goes to 8);

[0118] If you adjust l g If you find traffic signs, traffic markings, or safety facilities after the shift, you need to enter 7) to determine the specific hidden dangers;

[0119] 7) Determine whether traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities are intact (blocking, wear, or damage):

[0120] If complete, it is determined that the traffic signs, traffic markings, and safety facilities do not meet the standards, and proceed to 8);

[0121] If it is incomplete, combine the hidden danger identification results given in 6) and proceed to 8);

[0122] 8) Mark potential safety hazards at locations where they exist;

[0123] 9) Output the hidden danger identification results in the form of picture annotations and text summaries to complete the investigation.

[0124] The intelligent inspection of road traffic safety hazards at highway access points combines intelligent algorithms with manual assistance to determine the best viewing angle for hazard inspection at highway access points, selects image-related data of target points for hazard inspection, first identifies hazards using deep image recognition technology, and assists with manual judgment to ensure a comprehensive inspection of road traffic safety hazards at highway access points, and annotates hazards discovered during the inspection in the form of picture tags, making it easier to attach hazard-annotated pictures to the inspection report and display the inspection results in a visual form.

[0125] (8) Forming conclusions on the road traffic safety hazard inspection at highway access points, the inspection conclusions including a road traffic safety hazard inspection process report at highway access points, a list of road traffic safety hazard inspections at highway access points, and an overall report based on the hazard inspection.

[0126] In order to achieve hidden danger investigation conclusions for different users, the present invention defines a hierarchical investigation report: including a road traffic safety hidden danger investigation process report for highway access points, a safety hidden danger list for highway access points, and an overall report based on hidden danger investigation. The road traffic safety hidden danger investigation process report for highway access points can summarize the results of the inspection of road conditions, traffic signs, traffic markings, safety facilities and safe sight distance, and traffic organization at highway access points. Its function is to ensure the integrity and correctness of the investigation process; the safety hidden danger list for highway access points and the overall report based on hidden danger investigation analyze the existing hidden danger contents from part to whole.
