Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of traffic safety technology, and in particular to a tunnel guidance system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] In the daytime, when the driver observes the tunnel from a distance outside the tunnel, the tunnel walls, arches, and road surface may appear dark due to the large brightness difference between the inside and outside of the tunnel entrance. The driver can also see the "bright" environment with high brightness outside the tunnel exit. At this time, a "black frame" will appear in the driver's perspective. The "black frame" formed in the shadow will reduce the driver's visual perception performance and increase the difficulty of identifying visual information. This phenomenon is called the "black frame effect."

[0003] The black frame effect not only affects the driver's visual perception, but may also increase the risk of traffic accidents at the tunnel entrance.

[0059] In the data acquisition module, the environmental data detection device and the vehicle information collection device communicate through the data bus, collect the environmental parameters and vehicle information inside and outside the tunnel in real time, and provide accurate input data; the system control module controls the dynamic adjustment of the linear identification module and the lighting module through a feedback mechanism based on the collected data.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of the setting of the data acquisition module involved in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2As shown, the tunnel can be divided into an approach section (e.g., 100 to 500 meters before entering the tunnel), an entrance section (e.g., 100 meters outside the tunnel to 100 meters inside the tunnel), a middle section, an exit section (e.g., 100 meters inside the tunnel to 100 meters outside the tunnel), and a departure end (e.g., 100 to 500 meters after exiting the tunnel) according to the driving direction; multiple environmental data detection devices can be deployed inside and outside the tunnel; and at the tunnel entrance, a vehicle information detection device can be deployed to detect vehicles in the approach section and vehicles in the departure section respectively.

[0061] Further, the environmental data detection device includes: a meteorological detection device, an illumination sensor, a brightness detection device, and a color temperature sensor;

[0062] The meteorological detection device is arranged at the approach section outside the tunnel to detect the meteorological conditions outside the tunnel; the illumination sensor is arranged at the approach section outside the tunnel and the entrance section inside the tunnel to detect the light intensity inside and outside the tunnel; the brightness detection device is arranged at the entrance section, middle section and exit section inside the tunnel to detect the brightness of the inner wall and road surface of the tunnel; the color temperature sensor is arranged at the entrance section inside the tunnel to measure the color temperature change of the entrance section.

Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the longitudinal side wall marking 31 provides clear driving guidance by setting a waistline 311 and a luminous arrow 312 on the walls on both sides of the tunnel. The waistline 311 uses a highly reflective paint, which can reflect the light of the car lights in low light conditions to improve visibility. The luminous arrow 312 is an arrow-shaped or triangular guiding pattern, and uses LED lamp beads as the light source. The LED lamp beads can be set to flash at a frequency of 1-2Hz according to the speed of the traffic flow. The surface is affixed with a reversible orange reflective film.

The vertical light strip 342 is composed of LED lamp beads, which can be set to be always on, or the flashing frequency can be set to 1-2Hz according to the traffic speed, and the color temperature can be adjusted according to the position and external environment. The "∩"-shaped structure can block the light of the LED lamp beads and reflect the light of the LED lamp beads. The vertical luminous ring 34 is provided with a spotlight 343 on the side facing the driving direction and at a height range of 2 to 3m. The spotlight 343 can emit light upward and downward to illuminate the reflective film 341. The spacing of the vertical luminous rings 34 is adjusted according to the design speed: when the design speed is less than 40 km / h, the spacing between the entrance section and the exit section is 30 to 40 m, and the spacing between the middle section is 60 to 80 m; when the design speed is between 40 and 80 km / h, the spacing between the entrance section and the exit section is 40 to 50 m, and the spacing between the middle section is 80 to 100 m; when the design speed is greater than 80 km / h, the spacing between the entrance section and the exit section is 50 to 100 m, and the spacing between the middle section is 100 to 200 m.

The surface of the lower 2 to 4 color blocks is only made of reflective film material, and the surface of the upper 2 to 4 color blocks is made of reflective film material, and there are also lamp beads inside, which can actively emit light. An indication arrow 353 is arranged above the first vertical guide column 35 of the approach section. When on the left side of the road, the arrow direction is the lower right corner, and when on the right side of the road, the arrow direction is the lower left corner, which assists the driver to accurately identify the driving direction.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the system control module is further used to turn off the entrance enhancement lighting fixture 42, the tunnel lighting fixture 43 and each identification device in the linear identification module in the lighting module when there is no vehicle within the decision sight distance of the tunnel entrance and there is no vehicle passing through the tunnel;

[0073] The decision sight distance length DSD = 0.278*v*t, where v is the design speed of the tunnel and t is the preset maneuvering time (and the driver's maneuvering time, which is 12.1 to 12.9 seconds).

[0074] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the system control module can also adjust the working status of the basic lighting fixtures at the tunnel entrance, the enhanced lighting fixtures at the tunnel entrance, the lighting fixtures inside the tunnel, the longitudinal side wall markings, the longitudinal roadside light strips, the vertical light rings and the vertical guide columns according to the difference in illumination or brightness inside and outside the tunnel.

[0075] Specifically, when a vehicle is detected passing through, the system will automatically start the control program, dynamically adjust the opening of the basic lighting fixtures 41 at the tunnel entrance, the enhanced lighting fixtures 42 at the tunnel entrance, the lighting fixtures 43 inside the tunnel, the longitudinal side wall signs 31, the longitudinal roadside light strips 33, the vertical light rings 34 and the vertical guide columns 35, to change the brightness and color temperature inside the tunnel. When the difference in illumination or brightness between the inside and outside of the tunnel is greater, the lighting module 4 and the linear sign module 3 enable more lamps and luminous signs, and the color temperature of the luminous signs gradually decreases, realizing a transition from cold tones to warm tones, so as to provide a safer and more comfortable light environment. In addition, when the system detects that the vehicle speed is high, the flashing frequency of the signs will increase to enhance the driver's reaction time to the signs. The details are as follows:

[0076] 1) When the difference in illumination or brightness inside and outside the tunnel does not exceed 25%, the lighting module 4 only activates the basic lighting fixture 41 at the entrance, and the linear sign module 3 activates the light strips or lamp beads of the longitudinal side wall sign 31, the longitudinal roadside light strip 33 and the vertical light ring 34; the color temperature of the linear sign module 3 at the entrance and exit section is 3000~3500K, and the color temperature in the middle section is 6000~7000K.

[0077] 2) When the illumination or brightness difference is between 25% and 50%, the lighting module 4 activates the basic lighting fixtures 41 at the entrance and the lighting fixtures 43 inside the cave, and the linear identification module 3 activates the light strips or lamp beads of the longitudinal side wall identification 31, the longitudinal roadside light strip 33, the vertical light ring 34 and the vertical guide column 35; the color temperature of the linear identification module 3 in the entrance and exit section is 2500-3000K, and the color temperature in the middle section is 5000-6000K.

[0078] 3) When the illumination or brightness difference exceeds 50%, the lighting module 4 activates the basic lighting fixtures 41 at the entrance, the enhanced lighting fixtures 42 at the entrance and the lighting fixtures 43 inside the cave, and the linear identification module 3 activates the light strips or lamp beads of the longitudinal side wall identification 31, the longitudinal roadside light strip 33, the vertical light ring 34, and the vertical guide column 35, and turns on the spotlights 343 in the vertical light ring 34 to further enhance the brightness inside the cave; the color temperature of the linear identification module 3 in the entrance and exit section is 2000~2500K, and the color temperature in the middle section is 4000~5000K.

[0079] Furthermore, the lamps and marking devices in the lighting module and line marking module are not adjusted uniformly, but a suitable adjustment range is determined according to the driving position of the vehicle. In other words, the system control module can determine the control range inside the tunnel according to the position of the vehicle from the tunnel entrance portal and the decision sight distance length, so as to adjust the working states of the basic lighting lamps at the tunnel entrance, the enhanced lighting lamps at the tunnel entrance, the lighting lamps inside the tunnel, the longitudinal sidewall markings, the longitudinal roadside luminous strips, the vertical luminous rings and the vertical guide columns within the control range.

[0080] Specifically, the control range is dynamically adjusted according to the position of the vehicle from the tunnel entrance. Assuming that the straight-line distance between the vehicle and the tunnel entrance is d, if the tunnel exit is always visible, when the vehicle is outside the tunnel, the control range inside the tunnel is S = DSD-d; if the vehicle is not visible at a long distance from the exit, the control range of the guidance system inside the tunnel is S = DSD-d from the time the first vehicle enters the decision-making sight distance from the tunnel entrance. Where R is the radius of the tunnel, W is the width of the tunnel interface, and a is the distance between the driver and the center line of the lane.

[0081] In summary, the tunnel guidance system shown in the present application is provided with a data acquisition module, a system control module, a linear identification module and a lighting module, and the data acquisition module includes an environmental data detection device and a vehicle information collection device in the tunnel area; the lighting module includes lighting fixtures located inside the tunnel and lighting fixtures at the tunnel entrance; the lighting fixtures at the tunnel entrance include at least two brightness levels; the linear identification module includes a number of identification devices arranged at the tunnel entrance and inside the tunnel. At this time, the system control module can adjust the luminous brightness of each identification device in the linear identification module and each lighting fixture in the lighting module according to the collected data of the data acquisition module, that is, the environmental data of the tunnel area and the vehicle information approaching the tunnel or traveling in the tunnel, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the lighting and identification modules of the tunnel according to real-time information such as ambient light, meteorological conditions, and traffic conditions inside and outside the tunnel, alleviating the black frame effect, thereby improving the driver's visual adaptation experience and enhancing driving safety.
