Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of traffic safety technology, and in particular to a video detection and early warning method, device and storage medium that take into account the braking safety of vehicles on long downhill sections. Background Art

[0002] Vehicles driving on long downhill sections often face the problem of brake performance degradation, especially for heavy-loaded and large vehicles. Overheating caused by long-term use of the brakes is one of the main reasons for brake performance degradation, which is particularly common when driving downhill. When the brake temperature rises to a certain level, the braking effect will be significantly reduced, and in extreme cases, it may even fail completely, leading to serious traffic accidents.

[0003] In response to this problem, there are some solutions in current technology, such as using engine braking and auxiliary braking systems to reduce reliance on traditional friction brakes. However, these technologies still have limitations, especially under extreme or special road and environmental conditions, their effects may not be ideal. In addition, current driver warning systems usually focus on the immediate vehicle status or external environmental changes, and cannot effectively predict the trend of braking performance degradation. When a vehicle fails to brake on a long downhill section, the solution of existing technology is usually to drive the vehicle into an emergency escape lane, but this method is passive, especially on a long downhill section. Since the trend of braking performance degradation cannot be effectively predicted, it is impossible to estimate the time point when the vehicle fails to brake, and it is difficult to ensure that the vehicle will have an emergency escape lane for it to enter when a brake failure occurs.

[0004] Therefore, developing a new technical solution that can monitor and warn of the braking performance degradation of vehicles on long downhill sections in real time is of great significance to improving road traffic safety. This technical solution needs to comprehensively consider factors such as the specific type of vehicle, the state of the braking system, the vehicle load, and the length and slope of the downhill section. By collecting this data and using data analysis technology to predict the changing trend of braking performance, it is possible to issue a warning to the driver in time before the braking system is about to fail, so that the driver has enough time to take measures to avoid or mitigate the occurrence of accidents.

[0049] Specifically, step S5 includes the following contents:

[0050] The road information of the long downhill section also includes the location of each rest area. The location of the i-th rest area is defined as x i (i=1,2,3…); Calculate the distance between the i+1th rest area and the ith rest area as x i+1 -x i ; if x i+1 -x i +3> D i , it is determined that the current target vehicle (located 3 km upstream of the i-th rest area) cannot directly drive to the i+1-th rest area without brake failure, but needs to enter the i-th rest area for brake cooling; at this time, the target vehicle is tracked by real-time location information to determine whether it has entered the i-th rest area entrance. When the target vehicle enters the i-th rest area entrance, the warning is stopped; if x i+1 -x i+3≤D i , no warning processing will be performed.
