Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent road bollard control scheme design technology, specifically to an intelligent road bollard control method and system, and electronic equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional road bollards, also known as cone-shaped road markers, cone cylinders, red hats, or obelisks, are a type of road traffic isolation and warning facility. They are generally cone-shaped or column-shaped temporary road markings used to remind road users during construction or in the event of an accident, ensuring the personal safety of construction personnel and road users. They can also be used for traffic diversion, separation, or merging of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Existing road bollards can only alert oncoming vehicles by flashing lights and lack vehicle collision detection capabilities. When a collision occurs, they cannot promptly alert relevant personnel, resulting in low safety.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.
[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a smart road bollard control method, the method comprising:
[0041] S100. The absolute values of the acceleration data and rotation angle data of the smart road bollard are obtained by using a six-axis gyroscope installed inside the smart road bollard.
[0042] It should be noted here that step S100 includes the following:
[0043] The preset values are: first preset threshold, second preset threshold, first preset frequency, first preset color, second preset frequency, second preset color, third preset frequency, third preset color, and preset vibration frequency.
[0044] It is understood that the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be set according to actual needs. This invention does not limit the specific values of the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold. Preferably, the first preset threshold is 1 M / S. 2 In this invention, the second preset threshold is preferably 1°. It should be noted that the first preset threshold is preferably 1 M / S. 2 The second preset threshold is preferably 1°, which was determined by the technical personnel of the present invention through a large number of experiments. When a collision occurs with the smart road bollard, it can promptly notify oncoming vehicles and relevant personnel, which greatly improves the safety, intelligence and reliability of the present invention.
[0045] It should be noted that the first preset frequency is lower than the second preset frequency. The first preset frequency, first preset color, second preset frequency, second preset color, third preset frequency, and third preset color can be specifically set according to actual needs. In this invention, the first preset frequency is preferably 30 times per minute, the first preset color is preferably green, the second preset frequency is preferably 120 times per minute, the second preset color is preferably red, and the third preset frequency is preferably 60 times per minute. It can be understood that the above-mentioned preferred settings of this invention were obtained by the technical personnel through a large number of experiments. When a collision occurs with the smart road bollard, it can promptly and clearly notify oncoming vehicles and relevant personnel. When no collision occurs with the smart road bollard, it can display different light colors and lower light frequencies to indicate to oncoming vehicles and relevant personnel that no collision has occurred with the smart road bollard. This reduces the energy consumption of the smart road bollard, extends its battery life, conforms to the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and emission reduction, and greatly improves the intelligence, safety, and reliability of this invention.
[0046] It should be noted that the smart road post of this invention is also equipped with a transport base and a charging control module. The transport base can provide the smart road post with a first preset power supply current and a second preset power supply current. The smart road post is also equipped with a power supply current detection module, which is communicatively connected to the control module. When the power supply current detection module detects that the power supply current is the first preset power supply current, the smart road post activates the charging control module to start charging. When the power supply current detection module detects that the power supply current is the second preset power supply current, the smart road post deactivates the charging control module, stops charging, stops acquiring the absolute values of acceleration data and rotation angle data of the six-axis gyroscope in the three axes, and turns off the first lighting device on the smart road post, entering a low-power transport mode.
[0047] It should be noted that the first preset power supply current is greater than the second preset power supply current. The first preset power supply current and the second preset power supply current can be specifically set according to actual needs. This invention does not require specific values for the first preset power supply current and the second preset power supply current. Preferably, the first preset power supply current is 5V and the second preset power supply current is 3.3V. The preference for the first preset power supply current to 5V and the second preset power supply current to 3.3V is a result obtained by those skilled in the art through numerous experiments. The switching between the first preset power supply current and the second preset power supply current can be achieved using only a microcontroller, further reducing the energy consumption of the smart road bollard of this invention, further extending the battery life of the smart road bollard of this invention, and further improving the intelligence and usability of the smart road bollard of this invention.
[0048] S200: Determine whether a collision has occurred with the smart bollard based on the absolute values of the acceleration data and rotation angle data of the three axes.
[0049] Specifically, determining whether a smart road bollard has collided based on the absolute values of acceleration data and rotation angle data along three axes includes:
[0050] S210. Determine whether the absolute value of acceleration data in any of the three axes is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold.

[0054] If the absolute value of acceleration data in any axis is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, or if the absolute value of rotation angle data in any axis is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold, it is determined that a collision has occurred with the smart road bollard.
[0055] That is, if the absolute value of acceleration data in any axis is greater than or equal to 1 m / s 2 If the absolute value of the rotation angle data along any axis is greater than or equal to 1°, it is determined that a collision has occurred with the smart road bollard.
[0056] If the absolute value of acceleration data in any axis is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, and the absolute value of rotation angle data in any axis is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, it is determined that no collision has occurred with the smart road bollard.
[0057] That is, if there is no absolute value of acceleration data in any axis greater than or equal to 1 m / s 2 If, or, there is no absolute value of the rotation angle data for any axis greater than or equal to 1°, it is determined that no collision has occurred with the smart road bollard.
[0058] Specifically, the method further includes:
[0059] If a collision is detected with a smart bollard, the control module outputs an alarm signal indicating the collision and controls the alarm module to sound an alarm.
[0060] If it is determined that no collision has occurred with the smart road bollard, the control module controls the first lighting device installed on the smart road bollard to flash according to the first preset frequency and the first preset color.

[0062] A second lighting device installed on the mobile device; a vibration module installed on the mobile device; a voice alarm device installed on the mobile device; a display module installed on the mobile device;
[0063] The second lighting device, vibration module, voice alarm device, and display module of the mobile terminal are all communicatively connected to the control module.
[0064] Specifically, the control module controls the alarm module to sound an alarm, including:
[0065] The first light device of the smart road bollard flashes at a second preset frequency and a second preset color, and / or controls the second light device located on the mobile terminal to flash at a third preset frequency and a third preset color, and / or controls the vibration module located on the mobile terminal to vibrate at a preset vibration frequency, and / or controls the voice alarm device located on the mobile terminal to broadcast a voice alarm signal about a collision with the smart road bollard, and / or controls the display module located on the mobile terminal to display an image and / or text signal about a collision with the smart road bollard.
[0066] It should be noted that the first lighting device is a color-changing LED light strip installed on a smart road bollard.
[0067] It should be noted that multiple smart road bollards are configured, and the first lighting devices of the multiple smart road bollards are respectively connected to the control module. The control module controls the first lighting devices of the multiple smart road bollards to flash at the same frequency and the same color through a self-organizing network, which further improves the warning effect of the smart road bollards when a collision occurs, and greatly improves the intelligence, safety and usability of the smart road bollards of the present invention.
[0068] Specifically, the method further includes:
[0069] The smart road bollards are configured in multiple ways, and the six-axis gyroscopes of each smart road bollard are communicatively connected to the control module. The control module sequentially numbers the six-axis gyroscopes of the smart road bollards. When it is determined that a collision has occurred with any smart road bollard based on the absolute values of the acceleration data and rotation angle data of the three axes of the six-axis gyroscope, the control module controls the voice alarm device set on the mobile terminal to broadcast a voice alarm signal about the collision of the smart road bollard and the number of the smart road bollard.
[0070] Specifically, the method further includes:
[0071] The smart road bollard is also equipped with a positioning module for collecting positioning data and sending it to the control module. Multiple positioning modules of the smart road bollards are communicatively connected to the control module. The control module sequentially numbers the positioning modules of the smart road bollards, and the positioning modules and six-axis gyroscopes are correspondingly assigned numbers. When a collision is determined based on the absolute values of the acceleration data and rotation angle data of the three axes of the six-axis gyroscope of any smart road bollard, the control module controls the voice alarm device on the mobile terminal to broadcast a voice alarm signal regarding the collision and / or the smart road bollard's number and / or its positioning data. Alternatively, the control module controls the display module on the mobile terminal to display images and / or text signals related to the collision and / or the smart road bollard's number and / or its positioning data.
[0072] It should be noted that the mobile terminal includes at least one of the following:
[0073] Smart bracelet; handheld terminal; tablet computer.
[0074] It is understood that, through the above-mentioned technical features, the present invention enables more timely and obvious notification to relevant personnel of the collision number and location data of the smart road bollard when a collision occurs, making it easier for relevant personnel to understand the collision location in a timely manner, and to avoid vehicles or check the collision situation in a timely manner, thereby further improving the intelligence, safety and reliability of the present invention.
[0075] It is understood that this invention utilizes a six-axis gyroscope installed inside the smart road bollard to obtain the absolute values of the acceleration and rotation angle data of the smart road bollard in three axes; based on the absolute values of the acceleration and rotation angle data in the three axes, it determines whether a collision has occurred with the smart road bollard. This enables timely alerts to vehicle owners and relevant personnel when a collision occurs, greatly improving the intelligence, safety, and reliability of the invention, and significantly expanding its application scenarios.
[0076] Please see Figure 2 The present invention provides another embodiment, which provides a smart road bollard control system, the smart road bollard control system comprising:
[0077] The acquisition module 100 includes a six-axis gyroscope installed inside the smart road bollard, used to acquire the absolute values of the acceleration data and rotation angle data of the smart road bollard in three axes;
[0078] The control module 200 is used to determine whether a collision has occurred with the smart bollard based on the absolute values of the acceleration data and the absolute values of the rotation angle data in the three axes.
[0079] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The present invention provides another embodiment, which provides a smart road bollard device, comprising:
[0080] The acquisition module includes a six-axis gyroscope installed inside the smart road bollard;
[0081] The control module is connected to the six-axis gyroscope.
[0082] Specifically, the smart road bollard device includes:
[0083] The cone-shaped barrel 1 has a first placement seat 2 fixedly installed on its top, and the six-axis gyroscope is located inside the first placement seat 2.
[0084] Specifically, the first placement seat 2 includes:
[0085] The first positive electrode conductive sheet 5 and the first negative electrode conductive sheet 6 are disposed on the upper surface of the first placement base 2;
[0086] The second positive conductive sheet 8 and the second negative conductive sheet 3 are disposed on the lower surface of the first placement base 2;
[0087] The first positive electrode conductive sheet 5 and the second positive electrode conductive sheet 8 are electrically connected, and the first negative electrode conductive sheet 6 and the second negative electrode conductive sheet 3 are electrically connected.
[0088] Specifically, spring contact pins 4 are fixedly installed on the lower surfaces of the second positive conductive sheet 8 and the second negative conductive sheet 3. The spring contact pins 4 are used to make the first positive conductive sheet 5 of the lower cone 1 and the second positive conductive sheet 8 of the upper cone 1 electrically connected when the cones 1 are stacked, and to make the first negative conductive sheet 6 of the lower cone 1 and the second negative conductive sheet 3 of the upper cone 1 electrically connected.
[0089] Understandably, at this point, only one cone 1 needs to be charged to charge all cone 1s, and since they are stacked, they occupy little space.
[0090] Specifically, the smart road bollard device also includes:
[0091] A rechargeable power module includes a power input terminal, which is electrically connected to the second positive conductive plate 8 and the second negative conductive plate 3, respectively, for charging via a charging module.
[0092] The transport base has a charging module inside for charging the rechargeable power module.
[0093] Specifically, the transport base is conical, and a second placement seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the transport base. A charging module is provided in the second placement seat. The second placement seat includes a third positive conductive plate and a third negative conductive plate, which are disposed on the upper surface of the second placement seat. The third positive conductive plate is electrically connected to the second positive conductive plate 8 of the upper conical barrel 1 through a spring contact pin 4, and the third negative conductive plate is electrically connected to the second negative conductive plate 3 of the upper conical barrel 1 through a spring contact pin 4. The charging module includes a charging output terminal, which is electrically connected to the third positive conductive plate and the third negative conductive plate respectively.
[0094] It should be noted that the charging module refers to a power supply that can be directly mounted on a printed circuit board. Its characteristic is that it can provide power to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), microprocessors, memory, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and other digital or analog loads.
[0095] Specifically, the first positive conductive sheet 5, the second positive conductive sheet 8, and the third positive conductive sheet are annular conductive sheets. Multiple spring-loaded contacts 4 are arranged on each of the three positive conductive sheets. These multiple spring-loaded contacts 4 are evenly distributed in a ring on the first positive conductive sheet 5, the second positive conductive sheet 8, and the third positive conductive sheet. Preferably, the spring-loaded contacts 4 on the first positive conductive sheet 5, the second positive conductive sheet 8, and the third positive conductive sheet are all... Four cones are configured to increase the stability of the cones 1 when they are stacked, further improving the usability and safety of this application. The first positive conductive sheet 5 and the first negative conductive sheet 6 are sleeved together, the second positive conductive sheet 8 and the second negative conductive sheet 3 are sleeved together, and the third positive conductive sheet and the third negative conductive sheet are sleeved together. An insulating material is provided between the first positive conductive sheet 5 and the first negative conductive sheet 6, between the second positive conductive sheet 8 and the second negative conductive sheet 3, and between the third positive conductive sheet and the third negative conductive sheet.
[0096] It should be noted that the transport base is used to charge the cone 1 during transportation. The transport base can provide 5V or 3.3V power to the cone 1. When the cone 1 is charged with 5V using the transport base, the cone 1 enters charging mode; when the cone 1 is charged with 3.3V using the transport base, the cone 1 enters low-power transportation mode; when not charging, the cone 1 automatically enters working state or shutdown state. This invention can switch between the first preset power supply current and the second preset power supply current using only a microcontroller, further reducing the energy consumption of the smart road post, further extending the battery life of the smart road post, and further improving the usability of the smart road post.
[0097] Specifically, the smart road bollard device also includes:
[0098] The device includes a mobile terminal, a first lighting device 7, and a second lighting device. The control module is connected to the first lighting device 7 and the second lighting device respectively. The first lighting device 7 and the second lighting device are used to provide lighting indication under the control of the control module. The first lighting device 7 is mounted on the cone 1, and the second lighting device is mounted on the mobile terminal.
[0099] Understandably, the control module has a control program that controls the first lighting device 7 and the second lighting device to flash according to a preset pattern; for example, changing the flashing frequency of the light-emitting elements at night or in construction environments with poor visibility to improve visual cues for drivers or relevant personnel.
[0100] Specifically, the first placement seat 2 is also equipped with a positioning module. The positioning module is communicatively connected to the control module and is used to collect the positioning data of the cone 1 and send it to the control module.
[0101] Specifically, the first lighting device 7 is at least one of a light strip or a light bead; the light strip or light bead is linearly and evenly distributed or spirally arranged around the cone 1 along the axial direction; the light strip or light bead is evenly distributed circumferentially on the first placement seat 2.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first placement seat 2 is further provided with an acquisition module; the acquisition module is connected to the control module; the acquisition module includes at least one six-axis gyroscope, and the acquisition module determines whether the cone has been hit or knocked down by the detection signal of the six-axis gyroscope;
[0103] The six-axis gyroscope is mainly used to detect and measure acceleration, tilt, impact, vibration, rotation, and multi-degree-of-freedom (DoF) motion. It is an important component for navigation, orientation, and control of moving vehicles. The inertial sensor can detect motion data such as acceleration, tilt, impact, vibration, and rotation to determine whether a collision has occurred. It can then notify the mobile device of the collision information in less than 0.01 seconds. The mobile device can then issue an alarm to the construction workers in the cone 1 protection zone through sound, flashing lights, vibration, etc.
[0104] In some embodiments, a wireless module is further provided in the first placement base 2; the wireless module is communicatively connected to the control module;
[0105] The wireless module is used to receive external signals and transmit signals to the control module, and to receive signals from the control module and transmit them to the external signal receiver. For example, it can send external control signals to the control module, which then controls the actions of each module. It can also send internal collision signals to mobile devices such as mobile phones and computers of external personnel for warning purposes. The wireless module is also used for wireless networking, lighting synchronization, and traffic event transmission.
[0106] In some embodiments, the smart road bollard device further includes a voice alarm module; the voice alarm module is fixedly installed in the first placement base 2; the voice alarm module is connected to the control module; the control module controls the voice alarm module to provide sound reminders or alarms by sending control signals.
[0107] Understandably, the smart road bollard device provided by this invention uses stacked cones to create a circuit between the positive and negative poles of adjacent cones, allowing for stacked charging of the cones while occupying minimal space. Simultaneously, the first light device on each cone can self-organize via a control module, achieving automatic synchronized flashing. This synchronized flashing creates an effect similar to a light fence, effectively alerting drivers approaching from the opposite direction. If a cone is knocked over or tripped due to driver inattention or other reasons, the cone's six-axis gyroscope is triggered. After processing by the MCU, the cone's alarm information is sent to a mobile device via the control module, alerting construction personnel to an emergency and urging them to avoid the cone. This significantly improves the safety, reliability, and usability of the smart road bollards.
[0108] In other preferred embodiments, the present invention also provides another intelligent road bollard control method, comprising the following steps:
[0109] (1) Collision detection needs to consider several scenarios such as transportation, installation, inspection, reset, and removal;
[0110] (2) First, during transportation, the cone must be placed on the transport base. The transport base will output a voltage of 3.3V to 5V. When the cone detects this voltage, it enters sleep mode, and no vibration will trigger the collision detection.
[0111] (3) Next is the installation process. Cone installation is generally done by placing automated equipment on the road. During placement, the charging state will be canceled. After 10 seconds of charging being canceled, the cone will automatically calibrate and then enter the detection state. If it is a manual installation, there are two ways to reset it. The first way is for the installer to hold a charging device, charge it briefly, and then leave, which will trigger the installation function. The second way is for the installer to manually tap the cone sensor twice, and the cone will automatically calibrate and reset after 5 seconds.
[0112] (4) Then comes the detection process. During the detection process, the motion detection threshold of the IMU is first set (this threshold is configurable). The collision detection algorithm is only started when the threshold is reached. Otherwise, to save power, the IMU enters a sleep state. When a collision occurs and the threshold is reached, the acceleration value is first checked for changes. When the Z-axis of the sensor changes significantly, it indicates that the cone has tipped over, and a collision state is immediately triggered. If the Z-axis change is not significant, but the XY-axis changes significantly, the variance of the maximum and minimum values of acceleration in each direction during the time window from the start of the collision to when the acceleration stabilizes is calculated and fused. Then it is compared with the set threshold. If it is greater than the threshold, a collision is considered. Otherwise, the IMU is calibrated and reset. In the case where it is not greater than the threshold, there is another situation. Before the collision, an initial ternary number is stored to represent the initial state. When a significant change occurs in the IMU, but the acceleration fusion calculation does not reach the threshold, attitude fusion calculation is performed. When the end position differs from the initial position by 150 to 210 degrees, it is considered a manual removal operation, and a collision is not triggered.
[0113] (5) Then comes the reset procedure. The reset procedure can be executed at any time. There are two ways to perform the reset procedure: one is charging, and the other is double-clicking the cone sensor. At this time, the IMU will perform a reset.
[0114] (6) Then comes the removal process. See the end of (4) for details. When the removal process occurs, no collision occurs, and the device enters a sleep state. To wake it up, it needs to be charged or the cone sensor needs to be double-clicked.
[0115] It should be noted that this invention utilizes a six-axis gyroscope installed inside the smart road bollard to obtain the absolute values of the road bollard's acceleration and rotation angles along three axes. Based on these absolute values, it determines whether a collision has occurred. This enables timely alerts to vehicle owners and relevant personnel upon collision, significantly improving the invention's intelligence, safety, and reliability, and greatly expanding its application scenarios.
