Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of early warning devices, and in particular to a safety early warning device for a toll station. Background Art

[0002] A toll station is a special facility set up on transportation facilities such as roads, bridges or tunnels, where tolls or usage fees are collected. It is usually composed of lanes, toll collectors, automatic toll machines and monitoring equipment. Its main function is to monitor, collect fees and manage vehicles entering the toll area to ensure smooth traffic and maintain road engineering construction and maintenance. Toll stations are particularly common on highways and urban expressway systems, and their main purpose is to provide financial support for vehicle passage.

[0003] However, in the special traffic scenario of toll stations, vehicles frequently enter and exit, and staff also need to pass through from time to time due to work needs. However, due to the complex movements of vehicles and personnel, safety hazards often arise. When staff pass through the lane, the driver may not notice it due to negligence, which can easily cause a collision accident. When the driver passes through the toll station, he may not be clear about the situation of pedestrians around him, which may also pose a threat to the safety of pedestrians. In addition, the lane itself may also have abnormal conditions. When vehicles cannot pass through the ETC lane normally, if the staff cannot be notified in time for manual intervention, it will cause lane congestion and affect traffic smoothness.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a toll station safety warning device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a toll station safety warning device, which solves the problem of poor safety warning effect.

[0006] (II) Technical solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A toll station safety warning device includes a safety warning module, a dynamic vehicle monitoring module, a pedestrian monitoring module, a lane abnormality detection module, a communication module, a receiving terminal and a central processing module. The safety warning module is mainly used to generate sound and light prompts so that vehicles and pedestrians can clearly identify safe passages; The dynamic vehicle monitoring module is mainly used to monitor vehicles in the toll lane in real time, and transmit data to the central processing module in time when the vehicle approaches the dangerous area; The pedestrian monitoring module is mainly used to monitor pedestrians in the toll station. When a pedestrian is detected entering the vehicle driving area or approaching dangerous lane equipment, the relevant information is transmitted to the central processing module; The lane abnormality detection module is mainly used to monitor the lane vehicle passing situation and determine whether there are vehicles that cannot pass normally. When a lane abnormality is detected, the module will quickly send an abnormal signal to the central processing module; The communication module is mainly responsible for data transmission between various modules within the entire device to ensure fast and accurate exchange of information. When lane abnormalities occur, the communication module can send abnormal information to the receiving terminal so that the staff can obtain notifications in time; The receiving terminal is mainly used as a receiving terminal device equipped for staff to receive various prompt information from the central processing module. When the lane is abnormal, the receiving terminal will remind the staff in the form of sound, vibration, etc., so that they can take corresponding measures in time; The central processing module is mainly used to analyze and process the data detected by various modules, and then transmit the processed data to the receiving terminal for the staff to make judgments, and is also used to control each module.

[0009] Furthermore, the dynamic vehicle monitoring module includes a radar sensor, an infrared sensor, a visual sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The radar sensor is used to measure the position, speed and distance of the vehicle with high precision. The infrared sensor can detect the heat of the vehicle. The visual sensor uses image recognition technology to analyze the type, quantity and movement state of the vehicle to assist in determining whether there is an abnormal situation. The ultrasonic sensor detects the position and distance of the vehicle through sound wave reflection. Through the above technical solutions, radar sensors can capture the dynamic information of vehicles in real time in the toll lanes and effectively identify the behavior of vehicles approaching dangerous areas. Infrared sensors are used to respond quickly when vehicles approach dangerous areas, and can sense and transmit alarm signals in time. Visual sensors are used to determine whether vehicles stay for a long time. Ultrasonic sensors are suitable for close-range monitoring, especially in smaller waiting areas at toll stations, to facilitate judgment on whether vehicles are stagnant.

[0010] Furthermore, the pedestrian monitoring module includes an ambient light sensor, a recognition camera and a human detector, the ambient light sensor monitors the light changes in the surrounding environment, and the recognition camera and the human detector use an image recognition algorithm to monitor the pedestrian situation in the toll station in real time; Through the above technical solution, the ambient light sensor can automatically adjust the sensitivity of other sensors when the light is insufficient, ensuring that the presence of pedestrians can be effectively detected under various lighting conditions. The recognition camera and human detector can effectively identify the appearance, stay or movement of pedestrians and perform behavioral analysis, such as whether they enter a dangerous area.

[0011] Furthermore, the lane anomaly detection module includes a geomagnetic sensor and a photoelectric sensor. The geomagnetic sensor determines the passage of vehicles by monitoring the changes in the magnetic field under the lane. The photoelectric sensor is installed above or on the side of the lane and monitors the passage of vehicles by emitting and receiving light beams. Through the above technical solution, geomagnetic sensor: whenever a vehicle passes by, the magnetic field will change, and the geomagnetic sensor can capture these changes to determine whether the lane is unobstructed. If the geomagnetic sensor does not detect a vehicle for a long time, it can be determined that the vehicle is stagnant. Photoelectric sensor: when the light beam is blocked by a vehicle, the sensor will record the passage of the vehicle. If a vehicle blocks the light beam for a long time, the photoelectric sensor will detect the abnormality and send a signal.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving terminal includes a fixed receiving terminal and a handheld mobile receiving terminal. The fixed receiving terminal is mainly used to be placed at a fixed position to receive abnormal data transmission detected by each module, and the handheld mobile receiving terminal is mainly used for staff to carry and use when going out, so as to receive abnormal data transmission detected by each module; Through the above technical solution, by setting up a fixed receiving terminal and a handheld mobile receiving terminal, abnormal data is sent to different receiving terminals, thereby reducing the possibility that the terminal is damaged and cannot receive the abnormal data in time.
