[0039] As described in the background art, with the acceleration of the urbanization process, urban traffic problems have become increasingly prominent. Especially in special areas such as schools and hospitals, traffic safety and congestion problems during school arrival / departure hours or commuting rush hours are particularly serious. Although the traditional fixed traffic light system can regulate traffic order to a certain extent, its installation and maintenance costs are high, and the construction process is complex, requiring road surface destruction, laying of power and communication lines, etc. It not only takes a long time but also has a greater impact on urban operations.

Especially during the school arrival / departure rush hours, the concentrated travel of students and parents leads to a sharp increase in traffic flow, and it is difficult for traditional mobile traffic lights to effectively respond to such short-term traffic pressure changes.
[0040] To address the above problems, a mobile intelligent traffic light proposed in the present application can quickly respond to traffic flow changes, especially in special areas such as schools and hospitals, to ensure traffic safety during school arrival / departure rush hours. Dynamically adjust signal timing based on real-time traffic data, reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, and improve road safety levels.

The intelligent mobile traffic light system of the present invention not only effectively solves the traffic safety management problems in special areas but also brings improvements to urban traffic management through its high efficiency, flexibility, and low cost.
[0041] Refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, a movable intelligent traffic signal light according to an embodiment of the present application includes:
[0042] A vehicle body, on the bottom of the vehicle body, there are wheels 1 provided, inside the vehicle body, there is an energy component provided, and on the vehicle body, there is also an audio playback module provided;
[0043] A signal lamp assembly, the signal lamp assembly is provided on the top of the vehicle body, and the bottom of the signal lamp assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle body;
[0044] A camera component, the camera component is provided on the top of the signal lamp assembly, and the installation end at the bottom of the camera component is fixedly connected to the top of the signal lamp assembly;
[0045] A control component, the control component is provided inside the vehicle body.
[0046] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle body includes:
[0047] A vehicle frame 2, the axial cross-section at the top of the vehicle frame 2 is a trapezoidal structure, and the axial cross-section at the bottom of the vehicle frame is a rectangular structure;
[0048] A push handle 3, the push handle 3 is provided on one side of the vehicle frame 2, and the installation end of the push handle 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle frame 2.
[0049] In some specific embodiments, an anti-collision beam 4 is provided on the side of the vehicle frame 2 away from the push handle 3, and one side of the anti-collision beam 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle frame 2.
[0050] It should be understood that the anti-collision beam 4, as a part of the vehicle body structure, its main function is to absorb and disperse the impact force from the side. In the traffic environment, vehicles may approach the mobile intelligent traffic light from different directions. Setting the anti-collision beam can effectively reduce the damage to the vehicle body caused by collisions. This design is particularly important because internal components such as energy components and control components are crucial for the normal operation of the system. Once damaged, it may lead to the paralysis of the entire system. During the movement, especially on busy or narrow roads, the anti-collision beam can reduce the risk of accidental collisions and ensure the safety of pedestrians and operators. For example, when a fast-moving object (such as a bicycle or a car) accidentally hits the device, the anti-collision beam can play a buffering role and reduce the harm of the impact force to the operator. By being fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle frame 2, the anti-collision beam 4 increases the overall rigidity of the vehicle body, making the vehicle body more stable and not prone to shaking or tilting during movement. This is crucial for maintaining the stability of the signal light assembly and the camera component, because any slight shaking may cause the monitoring screen to be blurred or the signal indication to be incorrect. The design of the anti-collision beam can reduce the wear and damage of the vehicle body during daily use, thereby extending the service life of the entire intelligent traffic light system. Since the anti-collision beam can absorb most of the impact force, the internal sensitive components are more comprehensively protected, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
[0051] In some specific embodiments, the anti-collision beam 4 includes:
[0052] A U-shaped body 5, the open end of the U-shaped body 5 faces the vehicle body, and the open end of the U-shaped body 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle body;
[0053] A connecting body 6, the connecting body 6 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the U-shaped body 5 with the U-shaped body 5 as the axis of symmetry. One side of the two connecting bodies 6 is respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped body 5, and the ends of the two connecting bodies 6 far from the U-shaped body 5 are both inclined towards one side of the vehicle body.
[0054] In some specific embodiments, the energy component is a battery, and the installation end of the battery is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vehicle frame.
[0055] In some specific embodiments, the audio playback module is arranged on one side of the top of the vehicle frame 2 close to the anti-collision beam 4. The audio playback module is a speaker 7, and the speaker 7 is used to remind pedestrians to pay attention to safety through voice broadcast.
[0056] In some specific embodiments, the signal light assembly includes:
[0057] A support body 8, the support body 8 is arranged on the top of the vehicle frame 2, and the bottom of the support body 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle frame 2;
[0058] A traffic light 9, the traffic light 9 is arranged on the top of the support body 8, the installation end at the bottom of the traffic light 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the support body 8, and the traffic light 9 is arranged vertically.
[0059] In some specific embodiments, the imaging component is a wide-angle camera 10. There are two wide-angle cameras 10 symmetrically arranged with the axis line of the traffic light 9 as the axis of symmetry. The mounting ends at the bottoms of the two wide-angle cameras 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the traffic light 9. The imaging ends of the two wide-angle cameras 10 are respectively oriented towards both sides of the traffic light 9. The signal lamp board of the traffic light 9 includes a motor vehicle lamp, a motor vehicle countdown lamp, a pedestrian lamp, and a pedestrian countdown lamp.
[0060] In some specific embodiments, the control component includes:
[0061] An SD memory card, which is arranged inside the vehicle frame 2;
[0062] A signal control board, which is arranged inside the vehicle frame 2 and is electrically connected to the battery, the speaker 7, the wide-angle camera 10, the traffic light 9, and the SD memory card;
[0063] The signal control board performs data transmission with the control platform through 5G networking.
[0064] In some specific embodiments, the signal control board controls the traffic light to work according to the signal timing scheme corresponding to the campus transmitted by the control platform.
[0065] It should be understood that the voice playback module uses voice announcements to remind pedestrians to pay attention to safety, especially during school arrival and dismissal times, to ensure the safety of students crossing the street. When the traffic light status changes, it informs pedestrians and vehicles of the current right of way and provides a voice countdown reminder when the pedestrian green light is about to turn red. This real-time voice prompt can effectively reduce traffic accidents caused by inattentiveness and enhance pedestrians' safety awareness. The signal lamp board includes motor vehicle lights, motor vehicle countdown lights, pedestrian lights, and pedestrian countdown lights. These diverse signal display methods can better guide different types of traffic participants and ensure orderly traffic. The signal control board in the control component can control the traffic lights to work according to the signal timing plan corresponding to the campus transmitted by the control platform. Integrating the "one school, one policy" signal timing plan can automatically adjust the switching duration of the traffic lights according to the specific application scenarios identified by the wide-angle camera for different pedestrian and vehicle flows, ensuring pedestrian safety and smooth traffic. This flexible signal timing function can adapt to the needs of different time periods and different traffic flows, improving the efficiency of traffic management. The 5G network connection control function enables the system to transmit data to the background control platform in real time, respond promptly to changes in traffic conditions, and dynamically adjust the signal timing plan, further enhancing the flexibility of traffic management. The product is equipped with a wide-angle camera to monitor the roads around the school, and the monitoring can be viewed in real time and local videos can be retrieved. The installation of the wide-angle camera not only increases the monitoring range but also improves the quality of the monitoring images, helping to detect and handle traffic violations or emergencies in a timely manner. The application of the binocular camera further enhances the video monitoring ability. By taking pictures from multiple angles, it can record traffic conditions more comprehensively and provide more accurate data support for subsequent analysis and decision-making. The SD memory card is used for data storage and can save a large amount of monitoring videos and traffic data. These data can not only be used for accident investigation and liability determination but also serve as an important basis for optimizing the signal timing plan. By analyzing historical data, the changing patterns of traffic flow can be discovered, and thus a more scientific and reasonable signal timing plan can be formulated. The security of data storage is also guaranteed. The national secret dynamic software password technology is used to ensure the security of device access to the background control platform and data transmission security, preventing data leakage and unauthorized access. The low deployment cost and convenient operation and maintenance make the system highly cost-effective and suitable for large-scale promotion and application. The simplified maintenance process reduces the long-term operation cost and improves the reliability and stability of the system.
[0066] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these changes and modifications.
