DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0019] Example 1: The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying behaviors of rushing through checkpoints at high-speed toll stations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the highway toll station includes a payment lane, a first camera 101 and a first sensor 102 are set at the entrance of the payment lane, a second camera 103, a second sensor 104 and a gate 105 are set at the exit, and a third sensor 106 and a fourth sensor 107 are further set between the entrance and the exit. The third sensor 106 is close to the first sensor 102, and the fourth sensor is close to the second sensor. The distance between the third sensor and the fourth sensor meets the preset distance, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: S201, when a first vehicle triggers a first sensor to enter a toll lane, controlling to turn on a first camera and a second camera to capture a first passing video of the first vehicle; S202, monitoring whether the third sensor is triggered while the fourth sensor is triggered by the first vehicle; S203: If yes, it is determined that there is a first suspicious vehicle following the first vehicle and breaking through the checkpoint; S204, when the first vehicle triggers the first sensor to enter the toll lane, controlling to turn on the first camera and the second camera to capture a second passing video of the second vehicle; S205, monitoring whether the second sensor is triggered within a preset time period when the second camera is turned on; S206, if not, monitoring whether the fourth sensor is continuously triggered; S207: If yes, determine that the second vehicle is a second suspected vehicle waiting to break through the checkpoint.

[0020] In the present invention, the early stage monitoring is mainly carried out for two situations of card-breaking behaviors, one is following the card-breaking and the other is waiting for the card-breaking.

[0021] Among them, following the car to pass the checkpoint specifically means following the car in front closely, and after the car in front pays the toll and passes, following the car in front closely to evade payment.

[0022] Waiting to pass the gate means waiting in front of the gate, and when the vehicle behind pays, passing through the gate smoothly when it opens, thus avoiding payment.

[0023] No matter which one, it needs to be strictly monitored and investigated.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , a timing diagram of the trigger signals of each monitoring device caused by a normal vehicle passing through the toll lane starts with the triggering of the first sensor 102 and ends with the triggering of the second sensor 104.

[0025] It shows that the first sensor 102 is triggered for a period of time. At the same time, the second camera 103 is activated and captures a period of video of normal passing vehicles. Then, the third sensor 106 is triggered, and the triggering duration is the duration of the vehicle's passage. When the third sensor 106 is not released, the fourth sensor 107 is also triggered, and the triggering duration is also the duration of the vehicle's passage. After the payment is successful, the gate 105 is triggered and opened. The first camera 101 is turned on after the normal passing vehicle enters its field of view. Finally, the normal passing vehicle triggers the second sensor 104.

[0026] Among them, S201~S203 is the monitoring of following the card-breaking behavior, and S104~S107 is the monitoring of waiting for the card-breaking behavior. Monitoring of card-breaking behaviors, such as Figure 4 : S101 , when the first vehicle A triggers the first sensor 102 to enter the toll lane, the first camera 101 and the second camera 103 are controlled to be turned on to capture a first passing video of the first vehicle A.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, triggering the first sensor 102 activates the first camera 101 and the second camera 103, thereby capturing the traffic status of the first vehicle A entering the toll lane. This triggering method prevents the cameras from being on for extended periods of time, potentially storing a large amount of useless information, while also effectively capturing the status of the entering vehicle.

[0028] Next, S102 is executed to monitor whether the third sensor 106 is triggered while the fourth sensor 107 is triggered by the first vehicle A. S103: If so, it is determined that there is a first suspicious vehicle following behind the first vehicle A that has passed through the checkpoint.

[0029] The distance between the third sensor 106 and the fourth sensor 107 satisfies a predetermined distance, which may be 2.5 to 3 meters. If the following vehicle A follows the first vehicle A within this distance (approximately 1.5 meters), the following vehicle is suspected of following the first vehicle A. In this case, the following vehicle A can be identified as the first suspected vehicle.

[0030] Monitoring of waiting to break through the card, such as Figure 5 : In step S104 , when the second vehicle B triggers the first sensor 102 to enter the toll lane, the first camera 101 and the second camera 103 are controlled to be turned on to capture a second passing video of the second vehicle B. Similarly, the triggering condition for starting video capture is that the first sensor 102 is triggered.

[0031] Next, execute S105 to monitor whether the second sensor 104 is triggered within the preset time period when the second camera 103 is turned on; S106, if not, detect whether the fourth sensor 107 is continuously triggered; S107, if so, determine that the second vehicle B is the second suspected vehicle waiting to pass the checkpoint.

[0032] By setting a preset time length, it is monitored whether the second vehicle B successfully passes through the gate 105 after the preset time length and triggers the second sensor 104 to leave the toll lane. The preset time length is slightly longer than the time required for a normal vehicle to pass. If after the preset time length, it is detected that the second vehicle B has not passed smoothly, and it is also detected that the second vehicle B is at the first sensor 107, the fourth sensor 107 is triggered for a long time. For example, the time length for which the fourth sensor 107 is triggered is based on the time length when a normal vehicle passes. When the fourth sensor 107 is still triggered after exceeding the time length, it is determined that the fourth sensor is continuously triggered. Therefore, it is determined that the second vehicle B is the second suspected vehicle waiting to break through the checkpoint.

[0033] The above two confirmation methods are both ways to identify suspicious vehicles. As to whether there is a real checkpoint-breaking behavior, further judgment is needed. The present invention focuses on screening suspicious vehicles so as to focus on them.

[0034] In addition to the above confirmation methods, it is also possible to monitor whether the license plate numbers of vehicles arriving at the same time period captured by the first camera 101 and the second camera 102 are consistent. If not, it is determined that there is a third suspected vehicle that has broken through the checkpoint.

[0035] This monitoring method is used to assist in determining whether the two aforementioned checkpoint-breaking behaviors exist. Since the aforementioned waiting checkpoint-breaking and following checkpoint-breaking behaviors may result in missed detections, the first camera 101 and the second camera 103 simultaneously capture inconsistent license plate numbers, thereby determining that the distance between the front and rear vehicles is relatively close, and there is suspicion of checkpoint-breaking.

[0036] Specifically, when the distance between the front and rear vehicles is relatively large, the license plate numbers captured by the first camera 101 and the second camera 103 at the same time are identical, i.e., the front and rear license plate numbers of the same vehicle. When the distance between the front and rear vehicles is relatively close, the license plate numbers captured by the first camera 101 and the second camera 103 at the same time include the front license plate number of the front vehicle and the rear license plate number of the rear vehicle, which are obviously inconsistent license plate numbers.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, a third camera is provided on the top of the toll lane, and the method further includes: The top features of the vehicle in the toll lane are captured by a third camera to facilitate subsequent vehicle tracking.

[0038] In addition, the third camera collects information about the vehicle on top and can also determine the distance between the front and rear vehicles to make up for the missed detection of the sensor.

[0039] Among them, the field of view (FOV) of the third camera can be as wide as possible in the direction of the toll lane, so that it can capture the panoramic view from the entrance to the exit of the toll lane, and can extend as far as possible to capture the scene after the vehicle drives out of the lane.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, a fourth camera is further provided on the side of the toll lane, and the fourth camera is arranged near the exit so that the features of the side of the vehicle can be clearly captured when the vehicle stops in front of the gate 105.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the fourth camera is tilted toward the entrance of the toll lane so as to capture the license plate number of the vehicle as much as possible.

[0042] The method of setting up cameras in front and behind the toll lane avoids the problem of one of the cameras failing due to the vehicle's high beam. In addition, the vehicle traffic videos collected by the front and rear cameras can be used for multi-angle behavioral analysis.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: adding the first suspected vehicle and the second suspected vehicle to a gray list to facilitate subsequent further judgment and identification.

[0044] By adding those identified as the first suspect vehicle or the second suspect vehicle to the gray list, we focus on it and determine whether there is any real checkpoint-breaking behavior, so as to facilitate subsequent tracking.

[0045] When it is determined through analysis that the first suspect vehicle or the second suspect vehicle is the one that actually broke through the checkpoint, it will be added to the blacklist and the video of the moment when the vehicle broke through the checkpoint will be used as proof.

[0046] For vehicles that directly break through the checkpoint, effective judgment can be made through the collected traffic video.

[0047] One or more technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages: The present invention provides a method for identifying behaviors of rushing through checkpoints at a high-speed toll station. The high-speed toll station includes a toll lane, a first camera and a first sensor are arranged at the entrance of the toll lane, a second camera, a second sensor and a gate are arranged at the exit, and a third sensor and a fourth sensor are further arranged between the entrance and the exit, the third sensor is close to the first sensor, the fourth sensor is close to the second sensor, and the distance between the third sensor and the fourth sensor meets a preset distance. The method includes: when a first vehicle triggers the first sensor to enter the toll lane, controlling the first camera and the second camera to be turned on to collect a first passing video of the first vehicle; when the fourth sensor is triggered by the first vehicle , monitor whether the third sensor is triggered; if so, determine that there is a first suspected vehicle following the first vehicle to break through the checkpoint; when the second vehicle triggers the first sensor to enter the toll lane, control the opening of the first camera and the second camera to collect the second passing video of the second vehicle; within the preset time of the second camera being turned on, monitor whether the second sensor is triggered; if not, monitor whether the fourth sensor is continuously triggered; if so, determine that the second vehicle is the second suspected vehicle waiting to break through the checkpoint, with the help of the monitoring device in the highway toll station, effectively identify the abnormal behavior of the vehicle and determine it as a suspected vehicle, so as to facilitate further identification and tracking in the future, thereby improving the accuracy of the early judgment of the behavior of breaking through the checkpoint.
