Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a sound and light warning system and method for road maintenance operations, and belongs to the technical field of sound and light warning systems for road maintenance operations. Background Art
[0002] After long-term use, roads need to be maintained. When highway tunnels are maintained, the working environment of maintenance personnel is dangerous due to factors such as dim lighting and geographical environment. The traditional way is to place anti-collision piles with reflective markers in front and behind the maintenance work. The reflective markers can remind drivers to drive carefully ahead. However, placing anti-collision piles with reflective markers cannot serve as a reminder for operators. For this reason, China Patent Publication No.: CN115369788A discloses a road maintenance operation sound and light warning system and method. Through this system, vehicles can be reminded not to enter, and when vehicles approach or enter the maintenance area, an alarm can be issued in time, so that the staff can avoid in time and reduce the occurrence of dangerous situations. Another example is China Patent Authorization Announcement No.: CN112942169B discloses an intelligent sound and light warning system and method for road maintenance operations, the system comprising sound and light alarm anti-collision piles and vehicle detectors; when a vehicle is closer to a construction area, the sound and light alarm piles will use high-frequency sound and light alarms to remind personnel in the construction area "be careful when a vehicle is passing by", and when the vehicle gradually moves away, the sound and light alarms will gradually decrease; this can effectively remind maintenance personnel to pay attention to safety and drivers to slow down, but the above-mentioned sound and light warning systems are static and fixed in position. When the driver finds that he is approaching the operation area, the length left for the driver to change lanes is insufficient, and the driver needs to slow down to wait for the right time to change lanes, which is likely to cause traffic congestion, and when the distance is insufficient, it is easy to cause the vehicle to emergency brake or collide with traffic cones.

[0015] A road maintenance operation sound and light warning method, using a road maintenance operation sound and light warning system, the method is specifically as follows:
[0016] S1. Installation of system components: First, set up the operation fence outside the road maintenance area, then sequentially set up the emergency control unit, the second wireless transmission unit and the on-site sound and light alarm unit;
[0017] S2, sound and light warning component setting, initial setting of the sound and light warning component through the control panel;
[0018] S3, the electric trolley is aligned by transporting the electric trolley to the second wireless transmitting unit, or controlling the electric trolley to travel to the second wireless transmitting unit through a remote control device, so that the first sensing array is aligned with the second wireless transmitting unit. When the first sensing array detects the signal transmitted by the second wireless transmitting unit, the electric trolley is initially aligned, and the sound and light warning preparation is completed;
[0019] S4, sound and light warning and vehicle following. When a vehicle approaches the electric car and is detected by the distance measuring unit, the warning controller sends a signal to the automatic driving unit, and the automatic driving unit starts. When the distance measuring unit detects that the vehicle has entered a safe distance, the automatic driving unit controls the electric car to drive synchronously. The distance measuring unit obtains the distance measurement data in real time, calculates the tracking value in real time, and refreshes the tracking value to the text dot matrix indicator screen in real time.
[0020] S5, tracking reset and alarm. When the ranging unit signal is lost during the movement of the electric car, it means that the vehicle in front has merged into other lanes. At this time, the warning controller sends a signal to the automatic driving unit. The automatic driving unit drives the electric car to brake and stop first, and then drives in the opposite direction. The electric car moves at a uniform speed toward the second wireless transmitting unit. When the ranging unit detects the signal again, the step S4 process is executed. When the electric car is moving, the ranging unit does not detect the signal until the first sensing array receives the signal sent by the second wireless transmitting unit. The electric car stops moving and continues to monitor whether there is an oncoming vehicle.
[0021] When the electric car is moving, the ranging unit signal is not lost, and it travels to the second sensing array. The second sensing array receives the signal sent by the first wireless transmitting unit, and the temporary control controller sends an alarm signal to the on-site sound and light alarm unit, which issues an on-site alarm, informing the road maintenance personnel to avoid danger in time. At the same time, the first sensing array receives the signal sent by the low-level transmitting unit, and the first sensing array sends a signal to the corresponding IO port of the warning controller. At this time, the warning controller temporarily controls the text dot matrix indicator screen, and the text dot matrix indicator screen continues to display: Please brake; and controls the electric car to continue to slow down until it brakes and stops within the set time. When the reset button is pressed on the remote control device, the on-site sound and light alarm unit alarm and the text dot matrix indicator screen control are cancelled.
[0022] Furthermore, the sound and light warning component is specifically set up as follows: when setting up, first determine the lane where the road maintenance area is located, then select a lane change button through the control panel, and after the warning controller obtains the lane change instruction, it uses the lane change instruction as an index to retrieve the voice segment, text data segment and arrow indication data segment that match it from the storage unit; then the voice segment is sent to the sound and light alarm for voice playback, the text data segment is sent to the text dot matrix indicator screen for display, and the arrow indication data segment is sent to the lane change dot matrix indicator screen; thereby, the arrow is dynamically displayed; then, the actual distance between the road maintenance area and the guide stop position is calculated, and by triggering the distance lifting and lowering adjustment button, the initial distance of the tracking value is set to the actual distance, and displayed through the text dot matrix indicator screen.
[0023] Furthermore, the automatic driving unit controls the synchronous driving process of the electric car as follows: a distance and speed association table is built into the warning controller, and the distance measuring unit obtains the distance between the vehicle and the electric car in real time. After the warning controller obtains the distance, it uses the distance as an index to retrieve the speed association table to obtain the speed of the electric car, and sends the speed to the automatic driving unit, and the automatic driving unit controls the electric car to respond; the real-time calculation and tracking value process is as follows: first determine the direction of vehicle movement, when the electric car moves to the side of the road maintenance area, obtain the driving speed and driving time of the electric car, and subtract the product of the driving speed and driving time from the tracking value of the initial distance to obtain the real-time tracking value; when the electric car stops, record the tracking value of the current stop point; when the electric car moves to the side away from the road maintenance area, obtain the driving speed and driving time of the electric car, and add the product of the driving speed and driving time to the tracking value of the current stop point to obtain the real-time tracking value; when the electric car drives to the first sensing array and the second wireless transmitting unit are aligned, the tracking value is reset to the initial distance to complete the distance correction.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the road maintenance operation sound and light warning system and method of the present invention adopts dynamic following sound and light warning for vehicles coming from the lane corresponding to the road maintenance operation area to prompt lane change, thereby providing drivers with sufficient lane change time and avoiding problems such as slowing down to wait for lane change, emergency braking and collision with traffic cones, thereby improving traffic smoothness and the operating safety of road maintenance personnel.

The electric car moves at a uniform speed toward the second wireless transmitting unit. When the ranging unit detects the signal again, the step S4 process is executed. When the electric car is moving, the ranging unit does not detect the signal until the first sensing array receives the signal sent by the second wireless transmitting unit. The electric car stops moving and continues to monitor whether there is an oncoming vehicle. When the electric car is moving, the ranging unit signal is not lost, and it travels to the second sensing array. The second sensing array receives the signal sent by the first wireless transmitting unit, and the temporary control controller sends an alarm signal to the on-site sound and light alarm unit, which issues an on-site alarm, informing the road maintenance personnel to avoid danger in time. At the same time, the first sensing array receives the signal sent by the low-level transmitting unit, and the first sensing array sends a signal to the corresponding IO port of the warning controller. At this time, the warning controller temporarily controls the text dot matrix indicator screen, and the text dot matrix indicator screen continues to display: Please brake; And control the electric car to continue to slow down until it brakes to a stop within the set time; when the reset button is pressed on the remote control device, the on-site sound and light alarm unit alarm and the text dot matrix indicator screen control are cancelled.
7. The road maintenance operation sound and light warning method according to claim 6, characterized in that: The sound and light warning component is specifically set up as follows: when setting up, first determine the lane where the road maintenance area is located, then select a lane change button through the control panel, and after the warning controller obtains the lane change instruction, it uses the lane change instruction as an index to retrieve the voice segment, text data segment and arrow indication data segment that match it from the storage unit; then send the voice segment to the sound and light alarm for voice playback, send the text data segment to the text dot matrix indicator screen for display, and send the arrow indication data segment to the lane change dot matrix indicator screen; thereby dynamically displaying the arrow; then, calculate the actual distance between the road maintenance area and the guide stop position, and by triggering the distance lifting and lowering adjustment button, set the initial distance of the tracking value to the actual distance, and display it through the text dot matrix indicator screen.
8. The road maintenance operation sound and light warning method according to claim 6, characterized in that: The process of the automatic driving unit controlling the synchronous driving of the electric car is as follows: a distance and speed association table is built into the warning controller, and the distance measuring unit obtains the distance between the vehicle and the electric car in real time. After the warning controller obtains the distance, it uses the distance as an index to retrieve the speed association table to obtain the speed of the electric car, and sends the speed to the automatic driving unit, and the automatic driving unit controls the electric car to respond; the process of real-time calculation of the tracking value is as follows: first determine the direction of vehicle movement, when the electric car moves to the side of the road maintenance area, obtain the driving speed and driving time of the electric car, and subtract the product of the driving speed and driving time from the tracking value of the initial distance to obtain the real-time tracking value; when the electric car stops, record the tracking value of the current stop point; when the electric car moves to the side away from the road maintenance area, obtain the driving speed and driving time of the electric car, and add the product of the driving speed and driving time to the tracking value of the current stop point to obtain the real-time tracking value; when the electric car drives to the first sensing array and the second wireless transmitting unit are aligned, the tracking value is reset to the initial distance to complete the distance correction.
