Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field related to entrance charging systems for roads, and in particular relates to an over-length entrance auxiliary system for roads. Background Art

[0002] At traditional road toll sites, toll collectors have difficulty accurately judging whether a vehicle is overlong due to limited vision. Some vehicles are too long, and coupled with the wide load-bearing columns of the safety island and the obstruction of the booth, toll collectors cannot clearly observe the loading of goods behind the vehicle. Often, the problem of overlong vehicles is only discovered when the vehicle passes the window, which makes subsequent management work passive. In addition, when a vehicle is found to be overlong, it can only be persuaded to return manually.

[0003] The present invention mainly targets the blind spots of toll collectors at toll collection sites. When a vehicle enters the lane and encounters a large vehicle, the toll collector cannot see the length of the cargo behind the vehicle due to the obstruction of vision, and cannot quickly determine whether the vehicle is an overlong vehicle. Therefore, this is used as a breakthrough point. By monitoring the camera points, equipped with two integrated display screens and speakers, it can prevent the front vehicle from colliding with the rear vehicle during the reversing process, and can also well remind the vehicles that are about to pass through the square, reducing the pressure of manual on-site control. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an entrance overlength assistance system for roads to solve the problem in the above-mentioned background technology that toll collectors cannot see the length of the cargo behind the vehicle due to line of sight obstruction, and cannot quickly determine whether the vehicle is an overlength vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an entrance overlength auxiliary system for roads, comprising a monitoring system, a warning system and a control switch;

[0006] The monitoring system includes a monitoring camera installed on a monitoring pole in the toll plaza, and the camera connection line is connected to the front-end switch, the hard disk recorder in sequence, and finally connected to the desktop display at the toll window;

[0007] The warning system includes two LED display screens set up in the toll plaza and 20m apart;

[0008] The LED display screen is installed using a round iron pipe. The upper and lower ends of the LED display screen are connected and fixed to the iron pipe with two U-shaped iron buckles. At the same time, the two iron pipes are welded to the guardrail at the toll site.

[0009] The warning system also includes a loud speaker configured at the lower end of the LED screen;

[0010] The control switch is a switch button arranged on the toll collector's operating table in the toll booth.

[0011] Preferably, the monitoring system monitors vehicles in the toll plaza via monitoring cameras, and transmits image information to a desktop display via a front-end switch and a hard disk recorder in sequence.

[0012] Preferably, the two LED display screens of the warning system respectively display prompts to inform the rear vehicle of the operation of the front vehicle and to remind the driver and passengers that there is a safety hazard in the vehicle and they need to turn around and leave, according to the different states of the truck.

[0013] Preferably, the LED display screen is installed and fixed by a specific installation structure, that is, a round iron pipe, a U-shaped iron buckle, and an iron pipe welded to the guardrail at the toll site.

[0014] Preferably, the control switch is electrically connected to the LED display screen and loud speaker in the warning system, and the warning system is triggered by the toll collector operating the control switch.

[0015] Preferably, the device utilizes the principle of monitoring blind spots, so that toll collectors can discover the cargo loading status of vehicles as early as possible when the vehicles enter the toll plaza, and implement early disposal.

[0016] Preferably, the device combines and links the LED display screen and loudspeaker in the monitoring system and the warning system.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an extra-long entrance auxiliary system for roads, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. With the help of the monitoring system, the blind spots of toll collectors can be filled. When a vehicle enters the toll plaza, the loading status of the vehicle and cargo, especially whether it is overlong, can be discovered in time. This enables toll collectors to intervene in advance, changing the previous passive situation of discovering problems only after the vehicle passes the window, greatly simplifying the subsequent operation process and improving the overall management efficiency.

[0019] 2. Traditionally, the work of judging and persuading vehicles to return to their destinations is mainly done manually, which is not only labor-intensive but also prone to misjudgment. The system reduces the pressure of manual on-site control through automated monitoring and warning functions, allowing toll collectors to devote more energy to other important work links.

[0020] 3. The system links monitoring, LED display and broadcasting speakers. When a vehicle is found to be overlong, the LED display will display clear prompt information and the broadcasting speakers will play voice prompts. This clear visual and auditory warning can make drivers and passengers aware of the potential safety hazards of the vehicle in a timely manner, increase their vigilance, and effectively prevent accidents such as collisions between the front vehicle and the rear vehicle when reversing, thus ensuring traffic safety at the road toll site.

[0021] 4. The two LED display screens in the warning system will display the following vehicle’s running action and the prompt words to remind the driver and passengers that there are potential safety hazards in the vehicle and they need to turn around and leave, depending on the different states of the truck. This helps guide the driver and passengers to make the right decision and avoid traffic chaos and safety accidents caused by over-length vehicles.

[0022] By using the principle of monitoring blind spots, the system realizes comprehensive monitoring of vehicles in the toll plaza, ensuring accurate judgment of vehicle overlength. The application of this technology enables the system to better adapt to the complex environment of road toll sites, improving the reliability and practicality of the system.

[0023] In addition, the monitoring system, warning system and control switch are closely linked. By operating the control switch, the toll collector can quickly trigger the warning system to work, so that the LED display and loudspeaker can send out warning information in time. This efficient linkage mechanism improves the system's response speed and processing capacity, ensuring that timely measures can be taken when the problem of over-length vehicles is found.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The present invention provides Figure 1-6 The road entrance overlength assistance system shown in the figure is mainly composed of three parts: a monitoring system 1, a warning system 2 and a control switch 3. It aims to solve the problems of difficulty in judging the overlength of vehicles at the road toll site and the high pressure of manual persuasion. Through the coordinated work of various systems, the overlength of vehicles can be monitored and warned.

[0033] In the monitoring system 1, the monitoring camera 5 is installed on the monitoring pole 4 of the toll plaza. The height of the monitoring pole 4 needs to be reasonably set according to the actual monitoring range and viewing angle to ensure that the monitoring camera 5 can fully cover the vehicle passage area of ​​the toll plaza without any monitoring blind spots.

[0034] The monitoring camera 5 is connected to the front-end switch 6 via a line. The front-end switch 6 may be of a specification and model suitable for data transmission and processing, and its installation position should be convenient for line connection and maintenance.

[0035] The front-end switch 6 is then connected to the hard disk video recorder 7 through a line. The hard disk video recorder 7 has sufficient storage capacity, such as 4 TB or more, to meet the long-term image data storage requirements.

[0036] Finally, the hard disk video recorder 7 is connected to the desktop display 8 at the toll window through a line, and the desktop display 8 is placed in a position that is convenient for the toll collector to observe.

[0037] In actual operation, when a vehicle enters the monitoring range of the toll plaza, the monitoring camera 5 starts to collect image information of the vehicle.

[0038] The collected image information is transmitted to the front-end switch 6 through the line in the form of electrical signals or digital signals. The front-end switch 6 performs preliminary processing and exchange on the signals, such as signal amplification and distribution, to ensure that the signals can be transmitted to the hard disk recorder 7 stably and accurately.

[0039] The hard disk recorder 7 receives the image signal from the front-end switch 6 and stores it in the hard disk, and transmits the image information to the desktop display 8 for real-time display.

[0040] The toll collector can judge the loading condition of the vehicle cargo, especially whether there is any over-length phenomenon, by observing the image on the desktop display 8 .

[0041] In the warning system 2, the user first selects a circular iron pipe of suitable length and diameter as the supporting structure of the LED display screen 9. The length and diameter of the iron pipe should be selected according to the size and weight of the LED display screen 9 to ensure the stability of the support.

[0042] Then, the upper and lower ends of the LED display screen 9 are firmly connected to the round iron pipe with two U-shaped iron buckles. The specifications of the U-shaped iron buckles should be compatible with the iron pipe and the LED display screen 9 to ensure a tight connection.

[0043] Two iron pipes are welded to the guardrail at the toll site to further fix the installation position of the LED display screen 9 and enhance its stability and wind resistance. Two LED display screens 9 are set up in the toll plaza and are 20 meters apart, one is close to the lane safety island, and the other is far from the island head.

[0044] Then, a loudspeaker 10 is disposed at the lower end of each LED display screen 9. The installation position of the loudspeaker 10 should ensure that the sound can be effectively propagated to cover the area where the vehicle driver and passengers are located.

[0045] When the toll collector determines that the vehicle is overlong through the monitoring system 1, the LED display screen 9 displays corresponding prompt information according to the different states of the vehicle. The LED display screen 9 near the lane safety island displays prompt words to inform the rear vehicle of the operation of the front vehicle, such as "the vehicle ahead is reversing, please pay attention"; the LED display screen 9 far from the island head displays prompt words to remind the driver and passengers that the vehicle has a safety hazard and needs to turn around and leave, such as "the vehicle is overlong, please turn around and leave".

[0046] At the same time, the loudspeaker 10 plays the corresponding voice prompt, which cooperates with the text information on the LED display screen 9 to enhance the warning effect.

[0047] In the control switch 3, the switch button 11 is arranged on the toll collector's operating table in the toll booth, and its position should be convenient for the toll collector to operate so that the switch button 11 can be quickly pressed after observing that the vehicle is overlength.

[0048] The switch button 11 is electrically connected to the LED display screen 9 and the loudspeaker 10 in the warning system 2. When the toll collector presses the switch button 11, an electrical signal is generated, which is transmitted to the LED display screen 9 and the loudspeaker 10 through the line, triggering them to start working, displaying corresponding prompt information and playing voice prompts.

[0049] Preferably, the system utilizes the monitoring camera 5 of the monitoring system 1 to conduct comprehensive monitoring of the toll plaza, thereby filling in the blind spots of the toll collectors' vision and enabling the toll collectors to discover the cargo loading status of the vehicles as early as possible when the vehicles enter the toll plaza, thereby achieving early disposal of overlength vehicles, early intervention, and simplifying subsequent operation procedures.

[0050] The LED display screen 9 and loudspeaker 10 in the monitoring system 1 and the warning system 2 are combined and linked. When the toll collector finds that the vehicle is overlong, the warning system 2 is triggered by the control switch 3. The bright fonts of the LED display screen 9 and the looping voice broadcast of the loudspeaker 10 can enable the driver and passengers to find the problems of the vehicle in time, reduce the command pressure of the on-site personnel, improve the vigilance of the driver and passengers, and effectively prevent the occurrence of reversing accidents.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
