Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of smart highway service areas, and in particular to a system and method for accurately monitoring and warning vehicle and passenger flows in closed highway service areas. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid expansion of the highway network, service areas, as important places on highways that provide services such as parking, refueling, dining and rest, are being used more and more frequently. Especially during holidays or peak traffic periods, the traffic and passenger flow in service areas increases sharply, leading to problems such as tight parking spaces and crowded people. This not only reduces the service level of service areas, but also increases traffic safety risks.

[0003] Traditional highway service area management mainly relies on manual inspections and simple camera monitoring, which makes it difficult to achieve real-time, efficient monitoring and management of vehicle and passenger flows. At the same time, faced with drastic fluctuations in vehicle and passenger flows, service area managers often find it difficult to respond and adjust in a timely manner, which can easily lead to congestion, accidents and other problems, affecting the operating efficiency of the service area and the quality of travel services.

[0004] With the advancement of information technology, especially the widespread application of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data analysis, intelligent management of highway service areas has become possible. Through accurate monitoring and data analysis of vehicle and passenger flows in the service area, real-time monitoring and early warning of the use of parking spaces in the service area can be achieved, thereby improving the operational management capabilities of the service area. However, most monitoring systems on the market currently have a large number of installed equipment and are costly, making it difficult to meet the widespread application needs of highway service areas across the country. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a system that requires less equipment installation, is cost-effective, and has real-time monitoring and early warning functions.
