Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of transportation management, in particular to a passenger number digital automatic inspection system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of transportation management, passenger number inspection work plays a crucial role in maintaining the normal operation order of the passenger station, protecting the legal rights and interests of passenger transport enterprises, and regulating the behavior of the passenger transport market. The traditional passenger number inspection method mainly relies on manual operation. The inspection personnel need to go to the target vehicle at the established inspection point or by driving the inspection vehicle, and then use the evidence collection equipment to count the number of passengers one by one, and then compare the counting result with the passenger transport list. In addition, there is also a method of checking the number of passengers by manually checking the video recording through the vehicle video monitoring at double speed.

[0003] These traditional inspection methods have many limitations. On the one hand, for the manual inspection point method, the inspection points are often scattered, which greatly increases the cost of overall management of the inspection personnel, and it is difficult to achieve comprehensive and efficient inspection coverage. On the other hand, the video monitoring manual checking method not only needs to spend a lot of time on the statistics and checking of multi-party data, but also easily leads to the fatigue of the inspection personnel after a long time of watching the video, thereby affecting the accuracy of the checking. More importantly, neither the manual counting on the vehicle nor the video manual checking can effectively deal with the behavior of the driver or the passenger who randomly or voluntarily picks up passengers, and cannot meet the strict requirements of the current passenger market for the inspection work in terms of manpower investment, real-time performance and accuracy.

[0034] An inspection platform is used to store and process image information captured by the inspection camera, online ticket purchase data, and order information input by the driver screen, and is accessed by an inspector through a browser to view the inspection results and perform manual verification; at the same time, the inspection platform can also manage the inspection equipment, divide the inspection range corresponding to the vehicle line and the inspection area of the vehicle inspection camera, perform basic data maintenance, trigger the inspection action, obtain the current image of the inspection camera, perform passenger number statistics after the image is cropped according to the inspection area, and check the passenger number with the current time and the road order of the station, and the inspection picture will be stored and archived according to the format.

[0035] A passenger number digital automatic inspection method applied to the above system, comprising the following steps:

[0036] S1, binding multiple inspection cameras for the vehicle to capture image information of passengers in the vehicle in real time;

[0037] S2, the vehicle is bound with a driver screen, and the driver screen is bound with vehicle line and shift information at the same time;

[0038] S3, the driver screen uploads location information at regular intervals, and the inspection platform receives positioning data;

[0039] S4, when the vehicle is in the line inspection range, trigger the inspection action, get the current picture information of the inspection camera and the inspection area and calculate the number of inspectors, and get the current positioning corresponding to the road information, and compare the number of people;

[0040] If the number of people is normal, the inspection record is saved and the inspection process is ended;

[0041] If the number of people is not matched, trigger the inspection platform abnormal reminding logic, wait for the inspection personnel to manually confirm and handle and correct the data, and notify the driver, if the number of road tickets is more than the actual number of people, notify the driver to tell the passengers to get off, if the number of road tickets is less than the actual number of people, remind the driver to supplement the order;

[0042] Specifically, when manually confirming and handling, if it is found that the inspection platform number statistics problem is found, the data is corrected and the reason is marked; if it is found that the driver's operation is not standardized, the abnormality is marked and a to-do task and the reason are created;

[0043] S5, view all to-do tasks of the inspection platform and handle them in turn.

[0044] In the implementation process, the prerequisite for using the electronic inspection system is that mobile ticket purchase or driver screen order recording purchase function has been used, and the driver screen has been installed for the vehicle and the inspection area has been delineated.

[0045] First, data collection: the inspection camera installed in different positions inside the passenger vehicle continuously collects images of passengers in the vehicle. These cameras have high-definition shooting capability and remote triggering image collection and real-time video viewing function. When the vehicle starts or enters a specific inspection area, the camera automatically starts working, and the captured passenger image information in the vehicle is uploaded to the inspection platform in real time through wired or wireless transmission. The driver operates the driver screen in the cab, enters the order information of this trip before departure, including passenger quantity, ticket purchase voucher and other detailed contents, and also accurately enters the information of passengers with children, and marks the boarding and alighting points. During vehicle operation, the positioning module built-in the driver screen will actively upload the current position information of the vehicle to the inspection platform at a set time interval, providing a position basis for subsequent inspection actions.

[0046] Data processing and comparison: After the inspection platform receives the image information uploaded by the inspection camera, it uses advanced video image recognition technology to process the image. First, the human features in the image are identified and analyzed, and the number of passengers in the image is accurately counted through a specific algorithm. This recognition technology has been trained and optimized with a large amount of data, and can adapt to different lighting conditions, passenger postures and complex environments in the vehicle, ensuring the accuracy of the statistical results. The inspection platform simultaneously receives the actual ticket purchase passenger quantity data transmitted by the online ticket purchase system and the order information entered by the driver screen. The number of passengers counted by image recognition is compared with the actual ticket purchase passenger quantity and the number of passengers entered by the driver. For example, based on the actual ticket purchase passenger quantity, the number of passengers counted by image recognition and the number of passengers entered by the driver are compared to determine whether the actual number of passengers in the vehicle is consistent with the passenger transport order number. If the number of passengers is inconsistent, the inspection platform sends a reminder to the driver screen. If the number of passengers in the order is more than the actual number of passengers counted by the inspection camera, the driver receives the reminder and needs to remind the extra passengers to get off the vehicle. If the number of passengers in the order is less than the actual number of passengers counted by the inspection camera, the inspection platform also sends a reminder to the driver screen, informing the driver to supplement the order. At the same time, the inspection platform sends the inspection results of the inconsistent number of passengers to the access terminal of the inspector. After receiving the inspection results, the inspector verifies the abnormal situation through the inspector access terminal. If the inspector verifies that the situation is correct, the inspection is completed; if the verification fails, the inspector can take further measures, such as requiring the driver to make corrections, recording the abnormal situation in detail and creating a to-do task, and marking the reason for the abnormality for subsequent tracking and processing.

[0047] The inspection platform stores and archives all data generated during the inspection process, including images taken by the inspection camera, the number of passengers counted, comparison results, driver-entered information, inspector processing records, etc. in a specific format. These data will be saved as historical records and can be used for subsequent queries, analysis and statistics, providing data support for the management and decision-making of passenger transport enterprises and the supervision of the transportation department.
