Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic road management, and more specifically, to a safe passage control system for road width-restricted areas. Background Technology

[0002] Urban roads are classified into three levels: expressways, arterial roads, and secondary arterial roads—local roads. The width of the right-of-way (right-of-way) for each level is controlled as follows: expressways no less than 40 meters, arterial roads 30 to 40 meters, secondary arterial roads 20 to 24 meters, and local roads 14 to 18 meters. In urban planning, road width refers only to the width of the carriageway and sidewalks, excluding the width of urban green spaces along the street outside the sidewalks, and is primarily determined by traffic volume. It does not include the width of the curb. Furthermore, speed limits are considered in the design of each type of road.

[0003] In practical scenarios, width-limiting bollards are typically installed. For example, a rural road speed reduction and width-limiting bollard (application publication number: CN112030815A) includes a trapezoidal plate. The trapezoidal plate contains a width detection device, which includes two symmetrical, upward-opening right lifting slots. A measuring plate extending upward to the upper side of the trapezoidal plate is slidably connected within the right lifting slot. Depending on actual needs, the device is clamped to a certain position to limit the width of vehicles and remind drivers to slow down. Unlike existing fixed bollards, both bollards have limiting sliders. When the width of a vehicle does not meet the requirements, the two limiting sliders move towards each other, prohibiting vehicle passage. When the width of a vehicle meets the requirements, the two limiting sliders move away from each other.

[0004] However, in the actual management of roads, there is no identification of the vehicle width of vehicles about to enter the width-restricted road area, and no safety control mechanism based on the identification of the vehicle width and comparison with the maximum passage width corresponding to the width-restricted road area, and the warning based on the comparison result, which can easily lead to vehicles being caught in a dilemma. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems in related fields, this invention provides a safe passage control system for road width-restricted areas. According to this invention, the system includes:

[0006] A signal capture mechanism is installed in the road width restriction area to perform on-site image signal capture operation on vehicles about to pass through the road width restriction area, so as to obtain and output the corresponding road capture image;

[0007] The content optimization mechanism, connected to the signal acquisition mechanism, includes a data enhancement device, a grayscale correction device, and a combined filtering device. The grayscale correction device is connected to both the data enhancement device and the combined filtering device. The data enhancement device performs histogram equalization processing based on a distribution function on the received road acquisition image to obtain and output a corresponding current enhanced image. The grayscale correction device performs grayscale non-uniformity correction processing on the received current enhanced image to obtain and output a corresponding grayscale corrected image. The combined filtering device performs combined filtering processing on the received grayscale corrected image to obtain and output a corresponding combined filtered image.

[0008] A signal detection mechanism, connected to the content optimization mechanism, is used to input the position data corresponding to each pixel occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image, the number of pixels in the combined filtered image, and the total number of pixels occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image into a feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations. The feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations is then executed to obtain the vehicle's entity width value output by the feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations. The preset number is proportional to the total number of pixels occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image, and the position data corresponding to each pixel is the coordinate value of the horizontal coordinate system in the combined filtered image.

[0009] A status identification mechanism, connected to the signal detection mechanism, is used to issue a width restriction reminder command when the received entity width value is greater than the maximum passage width corresponding to the road width restriction area;

[0010] The state identification mechanism is also used to issue a width restriction safety command when the received entity width value is less than or equal to the maximum passage width corresponding to the road width restriction area.

[0011] The road width-restricted area safe passage control system of the present invention is compact, safe and reliable. Based on customized visual data intelligent analysis, it can issue a width restriction warning command when the actual width of a vehicle about to enter the width-restricted road area exceeds the maximum passage width corresponding to the road width restriction area, thereby reducing the number of traffic accidents.

[0021] The content optimization mechanism, connected to the signal acquisition mechanism, includes a data enhancement device, a grayscale correction device, and a combined filtering device. The grayscale correction device is connected to both the data enhancement device and the combined filtering device. The data enhancement device performs histogram equalization processing based on a distribution function on the received road acquisition image to obtain and output a corresponding current enhanced image. The grayscale correction device performs grayscale non-uniformity correction processing on the received current enhanced image to obtain and output a corresponding grayscale corrected image. The combined filtering device performs combined filtering processing on the received grayscale corrected image to obtain and output a corresponding combined filtered image.

[0022] A signal detection mechanism, connected to the content optimization mechanism, is used to input the position data corresponding to each pixel occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image, the number of pixels in the combined filtered image, and the total number of pixels occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image into a feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations. The feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations is then executed to obtain the vehicle's entity width value output by the feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations. The preset number is proportional to the total number of pixels occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image, and the position data corresponding to each pixel is the coordinate value of the horizontal coordinate system in the combined filtered image.

[0024] The state identification mechanism is also used to issue a width restriction safety command when the received entity width value is less than or equal to the maximum passage width corresponding to the road width restriction area.

The feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations is used to obtain the vehicle entity width value output by the feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations. This involves performing numerical normalization processing on the location data corresponding to each pixel occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image, the number of pixels in the combined filtered image, and the total number of pixels occupied by the vehicle in the combined filtered image, and then inputting them in parallel into the feedforward neural network that has completed a preset number of learning operations.
