Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of street lamp control systems, and more particularly to an intelligent control system applied to street lamps. Background Art

[0002] Street lamps are commonly used lighting devices on roads, streets, and public squares. The distance between street lamps is usually set at 25 - 50M. The street lamp time controller is used to control the street lamps to turn on and off according to the set time. When the predetermined time is reached, the street lamps are controlled to turn on or off. However, due to seasonal changes, the time of sunrise and sunset will deviate, resulting in the fact that the timing control of street lamps cannot well meet the accurate turning on or off of street lamps. Moreover, current street lamps generally use LED lights for lighting. During lighting, due to the high height of the light source, there is a situation where sufficient lighting cannot be achieved in extreme weather. Especially in some seasons, there is often heavy fog in the early morning, resulting in difficulty in obtaining the road conditions even with the illumination of street lamps when driving a vehicle, and it is easy to cause traffic accidents due to blocked vision. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a street lamp intelligent control system that can switch the illumination mode of street lamps in extreme weather conditions to improve the illumination brightness in extreme weather and provide road condition assistance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent control system applied to street lamps, which has the effect of switching the illumination mode of street lamps in extreme weather and providing road condition assistance for acquisition.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An intelligent control system applied to street lamps includes a mode recognition subsystem, a lamp control subsystem, and a guidance subsystem. It also includes a compensation lamp group and a guidance signboard arranged on the street lamp. The compensation lamp group includes several compensation lamps, and the compensation lamps are used to provide laser beams to improve the visibility of illumination. The guidance signboard is used to form a lane guidance map to guide vehicles to obtain vehicle information in the lane;

[0006] The mode recognition subsystem includes a weather module, a detection module, and a simulated lamp module. The simulated lamp module includes a camera unit and a simulated lamp arranged on the lamp post. The simulated lamp is used to simulate the low beam of a vehicle. The weather module is used to obtain real-time weather information and generate a control instruction when an extreme weather that affects visibility is obtained. The detection module includes a detection lead wire arranged between the lamp posts and a configured detection strategy. Detection marks are arranged at intervals on the detection lead wire. The detection strategy includes controlling the simulated lamp to irradiate along the direction of the detection lead wire when receiving the control instruction, controlling the camera unit to continuously take pictures to obtain the detection marks, and generating visibility data based on the recognition of the detection marks;

[0007] The lamp control subsystem includes an analysis module and a regulation module. The analysis module is used to retrieve visibility data and generate compensation data based on the visibility data. A regulation compensation strategy is configured in the regulation module. The regulation compensation strategy includes controlling the irradiation wattage and irradiation angle of the compensation lamp group according to the compensation data to form compensation irradiation for the lane.

[0008] The guiding subsystem includes guiding lamps and an intelligent guiding module. A plurality of guiding lamps are arranged along the height direction of the lamp post of the street lamp. A guiding strategy is configured in the intelligent guiding module. The guiding strategy includes retrieving visibility data, generating a guiding level according to the visibility data, and controlling guiding signs and / or guiding lamps for guiding indication according to the guiding level.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, a positioning strategy is configured in the weather module. The positioning strategy is specifically as follows:

[0010] Taking any road as a unit, positioning tags are set in the street lamps at both ends of the road. The positioning tags are used to store the longitude and latitude information of the street lamps. A regional distribution network is formed with districts as groups, cities as parent chains, and provinces as main networks. When it is obtained that there is an extreme weather affecting visibility, identify the distribution network where the extreme weather is located, and finally obtain a longitude and latitude data table affected. Send a regulation instruction to the corresponding street lamp for detection and identification according to the longitude and latitude data table.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, a basic image is also configured in the detection module. The basic image represents an image of the clarity of detection marks under normal visibility conditions. The distance between the detection marks is set in units of 5m. The specific method for the detection strategy to generate visibility data includes:

[0012] Set the shooting frequency of the camera unit. The shooting frequency represents the number of consecutive shootings of the same detection mark. Retrieve the visibility value of the weather information to form a reference value. Shoot the detection marks on the detection lead at the shooting frequency in sequence to generate a mark image folder. Obtain the clearest image in the mark image folder as the mark image. Compare the mark images with different distances with the basic image, and set a ratio threshold. The ratio threshold represents the ratio of the clarity between the mark image and the basic image. Identify the position of the detection lead where the detection mark lower than the ratio threshold is located. Take the distance corresponding to the position of this detection mark as the actual value of visibility, and set a visibility weight. After correcting the actual value according to the visibility weight and taking the difference with the reference value, if it is negative, assign the actual value to the visibility data, and if it is positive, assign the reference value to the visibility data.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, a fuzzy correction weight is also configured in the detection module. The detection strategy further includes:

[0014] Before detecting the identification mark, first control the camera unit to debug and photograph the detection mark along the detection lead to form a debug image, and compare the debug image with the base image. If the clarity of the debug image formed by photographing the detection mark is lower than that of the base image, and the number of images with clarity lower than that of the base image reaches 50% of the number of detection marks, then correct the clarity of the base image with a blur correction weight, and use the corrected clarity of the base image as the comparison basis for the identification image.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, an analysis strategy for generating compensation data is configured in the analysis module. The compensation data includes the slitting quantity and the compensation light spot. The analysis strategy includes:

[0016] Fit the diffuse reflection light spot formed by the street lamp under normal illumination, perform edge delineation processing on the diffuse reflection light spot and correct it to form a circular base light spot, divide the visibility data into compensation levels, and generate a dividing line for cutting the base light spot according to the compensation level. Determine the slitting quantity of the equal division cutting of the base light spot by the dividing line according to the compensation level, and fit the light spot area formed by the slitting of the base light spot based on the slitting quantity to form a compensation light spot. The compensation light spot includes the light spot area and the beam intensity. The light spot area is the light spot of the inscribed circle formed by being tangent to the adjacent dividing line and the base light spot respectively. The beam intensity represents the wattage output by the compensation lamp group determined according to the compensation level.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the compensation strategy is specifically:

[0018] Retrieve the beam intensity to control the irradiation wattage of the compensation lamp group to form a compensation light spot corresponding to the compensation level;

[0019] Retrieve the height, light spot area and slitting quantity of the street lamp, determine the number of compensation lamps to be turned on in the compensation lamp group based on the slitting quantity, and form a trigonometric function relationship according to the height of the street lamp and the radius value of the base light spot to determine the irradiation angle of the compensation lamp, so that the compensation lamp irradiates to form a fitted compensation light spot.

[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, the guiding strategy specifically includes:

[0021] Retrieve the compensation level divided for visibility data, and form a guidance level corresponding to the compensation level according to the compensation level. The compensation level includes low visibility, medium visibility, and high visibility. The guidance level includes indicator light guidance, comprehensive guidance, and sign guidance. The indicator light guidance indicates that the visibility corresponds to low visibility, and at this time, the guiding light is controlled to give a guiding indication. The comprehensive guidance indicates that the visibility corresponds to medium visibility, and at this time, the guiding light and the guiding sign are controlled to jointly give a guiding indication. The sign guidance indicates that the visibility corresponds to high visibility, and at this time, the guiding sign is controlled to give a guiding indication.

[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, the guiding light includes a guiding lamp and a guiding lamp strip. The guiding lamp strip is used to connect adjacent guiding lamps. A distance reduction ratio is configured in the intelligent guiding module. The distance reduction ratio represents the distance value formed by reducing the distance between street lamps by the distance reduction ratio for setting the guiding lamp on the lamp post of the street lamp. Determine the length of the guiding lamp strip according to the number of guiding lamps set and the distance reduction ratio, and form a distance guiding mark on one side of the guiding lamp strip. The distance guiding mark represents the actual distance value between adjacent street lamps represented by the guiding lamp strip.

[0023] The guiding strategy specifically further includes:

[0024] When the guiding light gives a guiding indication, if the vehicle passes the position of the street lamp, control the first guiding lamp to display a red flash, and the adjacent guiding lamps to display a yellow flash. At this time, the guiding lamp strip between the two guiding lamps will display the traveled section in red and the un-traveled section in yellow according to the actual position of the vehicle traveling between the street lamps. When the actual distance traveled by the vehicle exceeds the distance represented by the guiding lamp strip, the guiding lamp strip is displayed in green, and the guiding lamps corresponding to the actual positions where the vehicle has passed or not reached are displayed in green.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, the guiding sign includes a lane schematic diagram and a vehicle simulation mark. A distance reduction ratio is also configured in the guiding sign. According to the distance reduction ratio, the actual distance value between street lamps is scaled to form the lane schematic length corresponding to the lane schematic diagram. The guiding strategy specifically further includes:

[0026] Identify the vehicle information entering the distance between adjacent street lamps and form a vehicle simulation mark for display in the lane schematic diagram. An identification threshold is also configured in the intelligent guiding module. The identification threshold represents the distance value for forming a vehicle simulation mark in the same lane. If there are other vehicles within the identification threshold range in the same lane, a new vehicle simulation mark will be formed to remind the driver that there are vehicles in front of or behind the lane where the driver is located.

[0027] As a further improvement of the present invention, a start strategy is also configured in the detection module. The start strategy includes:

[0028] When no regulation instruction is received, control the street lamp to irradiate normally and turn off the compensation lamp group;

[0029] After receiving the regulation instruction, also control the street lamps at the beginning or end of the road to detect the intersection. If a vehicle is detected entering, generate a start instruction, and control the street lamps that receive the regulation instruction to start the intelligent regulation system according to the start instruction.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By setting a compensation lamp group and a guiding sign on the street lamp, control the compensation irradiation and guiding indication when the visibility is low due to weather influence. After obtaining the weather information by the weather module, form a regulation instruction to intelligently regulate the street lamp. Under the action of the detection module, generate visibility data, and analyze based on the visibility data to form compensation data for controlling the compensation lamp group to perform compensation irradiation, so as to adjust the compensation lamp group for compensation irradiation according to different visibility data, so as to provide sufficient lighting to improve visibility. And under the action of the intelligent guiding module, further control the guiding lamp and / or guiding sign according to the visibility data to intelligently guide the vehicle information in the lane, so as to remind the vehicle owners in the lane and improve driving safety, achieving the effect of switching the irradiation mode of the street lamp in extreme weather and providing assistance for obtaining road conditions.

The guiding lamp strip is used to connect adjacent guiding lamps. A distance reduction ratio is configured in the intelligent guiding module (32). The distance reduction ratio represents forming the distance value set by the guiding light (31) on the lamp post of the street lamp by reducing the distance between street lamps according to the distance reduction ratio. Determine the length of the guiding lamp strip according to the number of guiding lamps set and the distance reduction ratio, and form a distance guiding mark on one side of the guiding lamp strip. The distance guiding mark represents the actual distance value between adjacent street lamps indicated by the guiding lamp strip; The guiding strategy specifically further includes: When the guiding light (31) gives a guiding indication, if the vehicle passes through the position of the street lamp, control the first guiding lamp to display a red flash, and the adjacent guiding lamps to display a yellow flash. At this time, the guiding lamp strip between the two guiding lamps displays the traveled section in red and the non-traveled section in yellow according to the actual position of the vehicle traveling between the street lamps. When the actual distance traveled by the vehicle exceeds the distance indicated by the guiding lamp strip, the guiding lamp strip is displayed in green, and the guiding lamp (31) corresponding to the actual position where the vehicle has passed or not reached is displayed in green.

9. The intelligent regulation system applied to street lamps according to claim 8, characterized in that: The guiding sign (4) includes a lane schematic diagram and a vehicle simulation mark. A distance reduction ratio is also configured in the guiding sign (4). Scale the actual distance value between street lamps according to the distance reduction ratio to form the lane schematic length corresponding to the lane schematic diagram. The guiding strategy specifically further includes: Identify the vehicle information entering the distance between adjacent street lamps and form a vehicle simulation mark to be displayed in the lane schematic diagram. An identification threshold is also configured in the intelligent guiding module (32). The identification threshold represents the distance value for forming a vehicle simulation mark in the same lane. If there is another vehicle within the identification threshold range in the same lane, a new vehicle simulation mark will be formed to remind the driver that there is a vehicle in front of or behind the lane where the driver is located.

10. The intelligent control system applied to street lamps according to claim 9, characterized in that: An activation strategy is also configured in the detection module (12). The activation strategy includes: If no regulation instruction is received, control the street lamp to irradiate normally and turn off the compensation lamp group; If a regulation instruction is received, also control the street lamp at the beginning or end of the road to detect the intersection. If a vehicle is detected entering, generate an activation instruction, and control the street lamp receiving the regulation instruction to activate the intelligent regulation system according to the activation instruction.
