Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of public transportation technology, and more specifically, to a bus stop system and its operation method for use with driverless buses. Background Technology
[0002] As autonomous driving enters its later stages of research, driverless buses are the first mode to be included in commercial operation. Faced with highly intelligent modern transportation, many elderly people will be at a loss and sometimes cannot even take public transportation without guidance. Therefore, the first step in promoting the use of driverless buses is to improve the effective guidance and prompts for people who are not familiar with intelligent equipment, so as to ensure that everyone can take modern public transportation.
[0003] Secondly, public transportation is often overcrowded. If the number of passengers is not controlled, it will not only affect the comfort of passengers, but also increase the safety risk of vehicle overload and increase safety hazards. Public transportation safety is of paramount importance.
[0004] Furthermore, since driverless buses are not subject to driver supervision, corresponding riding regulations must be established to prevent passengers from evading fares and to avoid passengers taking chances. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The smart touchscreen displays bus routes, bus schedules, and real-time bus locations. Below the smart touchscreen are a scanning device and a cash payment device that are electrically connected to both the smart touchscreen and the hollow smart terminal.
[0039] The operation method of the bus stop system for use with driverless buses according to the present invention is implemented as follows:
[0040] The operation method includes the following steps:
[0041] S1: Displays all bus route information, bus schedule information, and real-time bus location information on the operation panel, and displays a platform query window for passengers to query and use;
[0042] S2: Surveillance cameras installed on both sides of the bus stop will collect the facial information of all passengers entering the stop and connect to the cloud system to identify passenger information;
[0043] S3: The voice reminder system broadcasts the information of the bus that is about to arrive at the station in real time, and provides intermittent voice prompts. You can select the station you need to go to in advance on the operation panel, and swipe your card or pay in advance at the scanning device below the operation panel. The card swiping and payment are based on real names.
[0044] S4: Based on the different requirements of different cities for the boarding rules of elderly or special passengers, when an elderly or special passenger who meets the requirements is identified on the platform, the corresponding policy will be announced by voice, and the corresponding person will be prompted and guided by the voice intercom system to board the bus smoothly; (when using cash payment or scanning payment, the second camera will identify the person and record the corresponding real name information, and record the payment information of the passenger at the corresponding station).
[0045] S5: When the surveillance camera identifies elderly or special passengers, it controls the swivel seats on both sides of the bus stop to open and indicates that the seats are prepared for elderly or special passengers. It also determines whether to open one side or both sides based on the number of elderly and special passengers on the platform. Furthermore, it monitors the information of passengers on the swivel seats in real time. If it identifies a person who does not meet the requirements, it will prompt them to give up their seat. If the person refuses to give up their seat, the central intelligent terminal will control the swivel seats to retract. When there are no elderly or special passengers on the platform, the swivel seats will rotate and retract.
[0046] S6: When a bus arrives at a stop, the system identifies passengers based on their card swipe records for the selected bus route. If a passenger is identified who has not swiped their card to pay, a voice announcement will remind them that they have not swiped their card (they can pay by scanning a QR code on the bus). The system will record the violation after one minute. If the passenger still has not paid, a record of dishonesty will be added. After two such violations, the passenger will be blacklisted and restricted from using public transportation.
[0047] S7: The hollow smart terminals at each bus stop are wirelessly connected to each other. Based on the card swipe records at the previous stop and the destination records entered at the previous stop, the system performs statistical analysis based on the actual number of passengers on the bus. If the number of passengers on the bus about to arrive has reached the maximum floating passenger capacity, the bus will not stop at this stop if there are no passengers getting off. The system will also send a signal to the bus dispatching system through the hollow smart terminal to immediately dispatch a new temporary bus. The information of the new temporary bus will also be displayed in real time on the operation panel.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by setting up a rotating seat, special seats can be reserved for special use by special people, preventing the occupation of special seats during travel and disputes over seats. The monitoring system and network system can accurately identify people on the platform. If someone is found to be maliciously occupying a seat, the hollow intelligent terminal controls the rotating seat to rotate and retract.
[0049] Through the collaborative work of the control panel, monitoring system, central intelligent terminal and human-computer interaction system, the platform system can accurately calculate the number of passengers on each route and each trip, and accurately control the passengers on the driverless bus to avoid overload operation.
[0050] At the same time, the system ensures that passengers swipe their cards immediately and monitors their payment behavior through the corresponding real-name card payment information and monitoring system. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0060] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.
[0061] Example 1:
[0062] Reference Figure 1-8 As shown, a bus stop system for use with driverless buses includes a stop device, a main control system 200, a stop management system 300, and a human-machine interaction system 400.
[0063] The platform installation includes a platform frame, a platform panel, platform seats mounted on the platform frame, and 150 recycling bins categorized on the platform frame.
[0064] The overall control system 200 includes a hollow intelligent terminal 210, a signal transmitting device 220, and a signal receiving device 230; the platform control system 300 includes a monitoring system 310, a voice reminder system 330, and a network system 340; and the human-machine interaction system 400 includes a voice intercom system 410 and an operation panel 420.
[0065] The operation panel 420 is installed on the platform panel and is electrically connected to the main control system 200.
[0066] The main control system 200, the platform control system 300, and the human-machine interaction system 400 are connected electrically and / or wirelessly.
[0067] Preferred, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the platform frame includes six columns 110 and a shield 120 installed on the upper part of the six columns 110. The six columns 110 used on the platform frame can be, but are not limited to, circular columns, square columns, etc.; and the shield 120 can be, but is not limited to, electrically adjustable glass, and the shield 120 is electrically connected to the hollow smart terminal 210.
[0068] In this invention, all columns 110 can adopt a hollow structure, which makes it easy to store various types of wires that need to be installed.
[0069] The platform panel consists of five sub-panels 160, each of which is installed between two columns 110, and the platform frame and the platform panel form a bus stop in the shape of "[".
[0070] One sub-panel 160 is set on each of the left and right sides of the bus stop, and three sub-panels 160 are set in the middle. Among them, there are two operation panels 420, which are installed on the sub-panels 160 on the left and right sides of the bus stop respectively. The operation panels 420 do not occupy the entire sub-panel 160, but only a part of it. The remaining sub-panels 160 can be, but are not limited to, LCD screens, which can be used to display advertisements or other functions. All sub-panels 160 are electrically connected to the hollow intelligent terminal 210.
[0071] The platform seats are installed on the lower half of the platform frame, and the 150-type recycling bins are installed on one side of the platform frame.
[0072] Preferably, the platform seating includes fixed seats 130 installed on the lower ends of the two central columns 110, and rotating seats 140 installed on the lower ends of the two left and right columns 110 respectively.
[0073] The length of the fixed seats is slightly more than half the length of the entire bus stop.
[0074] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating seat 140 includes a rotating rod 141 installed between the columns 110, a seat body 143 fixed on the rotating rod 141, and two connecting slide rods 149 respectively installed between the two ends of the seat body 143 and the two side columns 110.
[0075] Both ends of the seat body 143 near the rotating rod 141 are fixed with a connecting block 148 for fitting and fixing onto the rotating rod 141. The seat body 143 is fixed to the rotating rod 141 by the connecting block 148, so that the seat body 143 can rotate with the rotation of the rotating rod 141.
[0076] Preferably, a rotating motor 1412 is installed on one side of the rotating rod 141, with one end fixed to one side of the column 110 and the other end connected to the rotating rod 141. The other side of the rotating rod 141 is rotatably mounted on the column 110. A connecting shaft 142 is fixed on one side of the column 110. A bearing is installed in the middle of the end of the rotating rod 141 near the connecting shaft 142. One end of the connecting shaft 142 extends into the bearing and is fixedly connected.
[0077] The output end of the rotating motor 1412 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 141, that is, the outer end of the output end of the rotating motor 1412 is fixed at the center of the end of the rotating rod 141 near the rotating motor 1412.
[0078] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a take-up rod 1414 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating rod 141. The end of the take-up rod 1414 near the rotating motor 1412 extends outward from the rotating rod 141.
[0079] A rotating bearing is installed at both ends of the take-up rod 1414. The two rotating bearings are fixed to the left and right ends of the rotating rod 141 respectively, so that the take-up rod 1414 can rotate freely.
[0080] The inner cavity of the rotating rod 141 is hollow, and the take-up rod 1414 is located between the inner axis and the outer edge of the rotating rod 141. Therefore, the position of the take-up rod 1414 will not affect the output end of the rotating motor 1412.
[0081] An output gear 1413 is fixed to the output end of the rotating motor 1412. A driven gear 1415 that meshes with the output gear 1413 is fixedly installed at the end of the take-up rod 1414 that extends outward from the rotating rod 141. The diameter of the driven gear 1415 is much smaller than the diameter of the output gear 1413, so when the output gear 1413 rotates a little, the driven gear 1415 can rotate several times.
[0082] A first take-up reel 1416 is installed at the extended end of the take-up rod 1414, and a second take-up reel 1417 is installed at the other end of the take-up rod 1414 located in the inner cavity of the rotating rod 141.
[0083] The rotating motor 1412 is fitted with a housing 1418. The housing 1418 extends to one side of the rotating rod 141 and is partially fitted onto the rotating rod 141. The housing 1418 and the rotating motor 1412 are fixedly connected by a reinforcing rib 1419.
[0084] Preferred, refer to Figure 4 As shown, a first limiting groove 145 parallel to the wide side of the seat body 143 is provided on both the left and right end faces of the seat body 143.
[0085] A second limiting groove 111 is provided in the vertical direction on the lower end of the two opposing pillars 110 of the seat body 143.
[0086] A roller 1411 is hinged to both ends of the connecting slide rod 149, and the rollers 1411 at both ends of the connecting slide rod 149 are respectively placed in the first limiting groove 145 and the second limiting groove 111.
[0087] Optionally, the connecting slide rod 149 and the roller 1411 may employ, but are not limited to, a universal ball joint structure. The connecting slide rod 149 and the roller 1411 can rotate at various angles.
[0088] A storage slot 146 is provided inside the seat body 143 at the side end of the first limiting slot 145. A telescopic limiter 147 is installed in the storage slot 146. One side of the first limiting slot 145 is connected to the storage slot 146, that is, the telescopic limiter 147 can extend into the first limiting slot 145.
[0089] The telescopic limiter 147 can be, but is not limited to, an electric telescopic device. An electric telescopic device is fixedly installed inside the storage slot 146, and the extended end of the electric telescopic device can extend into the first limiting slot 145. After the seat 140 is rotated and unfolded, the telescopic limiter 147 is opened, restricting the position of the roller 1411 in the first limiting slot 145 to ensure that the roller 1411 does not move, thus fixing the position of the connecting slide rod 149 and supporting the seat body 143. Therefore, the telescopic limiter 147 is set in a way that...
[0090] Preferably, a lifting rope 1420 is wound on both the first take-up reel 1416 and the second take-up reel 1417; a through hole 1410 is opened on the side of the connecting slide rod 149 near the second limiting groove 111; the other end of the lifting rope 1420 passes through the through hole 1410 of the connecting slide rod 149 and is fixed.
[0091] The outer casing 1418 of the rotating motor 1412 encloses the take-up rod 1414, as well as the first take-up reel 1416 and the driven gear 1415 on the take-up rod 1414. The outer casing 1418 has an opening below the first take-up reel 1416 for the pull rope 1420 to pass through. The inner cavity of the rotating rod 141 also has an opening below the second take-up reel 1417 for the pull rope 1420 to pass through. All openings are provided with anti-wear sleeves to protect the pull rope 1420 and reduce wear during use.
[0092] The reinforcing ribs 1419 inside the housing 1418 do not affect the output gear 1413, the driven gear 1415, and the first take-up reel 1416. That is, the reinforcing ribs 1419 are only provided on a part of the upper and lower ends of the rotating motor 1412 and do not fill the entire inner cavity of the housing 1418.
[0093] The direct current of the first take-up reel 1416 and the second take-up reel 1417 is greater than that of the driven gear 1415, but it will not affect the rotation of the motor 1412. The first take-up reel 1416 and the second take-up reel 1417 take up the lifting rope 1420, but it is not necessary to fully tighten the lifting rope 1420. During the rotation of the seat body 143, it is only necessary to lift the roller 1411 to a certain height. The subsequent reset of the connecting slide rod 149 can be achieved by the rotation of the seat body 143 driving the connecting slide rod 149 to continue moving, thereby realizing the take-up of the seat body 143 and the connecting slide rod 149.
[0094] The rotating motor 1412 and the telescopic limiter 147 are both electrically connected to the hollow intelligent terminal.
[0095] The working process of rotating seat 140 is as follows:
[0096] When the seat 140 needs to be rotated, the rotating motor 1412 rotates, driving the rotating shaft to rotate. Since the seat body 143 is fixed to the rotating shaft, the seat body 143 is rotated. In the initial state of rotating the seat 140, the seat body 143 is folded up, that is, the seat body 143 is folded down between the two uprights 110, and the width of the seat body 143 is less than the distance between the two uprights 110.
[0097] When the seat 140 needs to be unfolded, the rotating motor 1412 starts, rotating the rotating rod 141 to lift the seat upwards. This, in turn, drives the driven gear 1415 via the output gear 1413, causing the take-up rod 1414 to rotate. The lifting rope 1420 on the take-up reel is then lowered, causing the connecting slide rod 149 to lose the tension of the lifting rope 1420. The roller 1411 in the second limiting groove 111 can then slide downwards, driving the connecting slide rod 149 downwards. The roller 1411 in the first limiting groove 145 follows the movement of the connecting slide rod 149. It also slides in the first limiting groove 145 toward the side of the rotating rod 141. When the seat body 143 is rotated to the sitting position, the telescopic limiter 147 in the side storage groove 146 of the first limiting groove 145 extends out, and the extension position of the telescopic limiter 147 is on the side of the roller 1411 away from the rotating rod 141, so as to limit the displacement of the roller 1411 in the first limiting groove 145. This ensures that after the rotating seat 140 is unfolded, the roller 1411 in the first limiting groove 145 cannot move. Therefore, the connecting slide rod 149 can support the seat body 143.
[0098] When the seat 140 is rotated to fold up, the rotating motor 1412 rotates in the reverse direction, and at the same time the telescopic limiter 147 retracts. The output gear 1413 drives the driven gear 1415 to rotate, causing the take-up reel to rotate counterclockwise. The pull rope 1420 retracts, causing the connecting slide rod 149 to move upward. This causes the roller 1411 in the second limiting groove 111 connected to the connecting slide rod 149 to move upward. The roller 1411 in the first limiting groove 145 follows and moves away from the rotating rod 141. The connecting slide rod 149 and the seat body 143 reset simultaneously, returning to the folded state.
[0099] Preferred, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the monitoring system 310 also includes a first camera 311 installed on the left and right sides of the bus stop, a second camera 312 installed on the top of the operation panel 420, and a microphone 320 installed at the top center of the bus stop.
[0100] The surveillance camera extracts and identifies each person entering the platform, and transmits the identified images to the hollow intelligent terminal 210; the hollow intelligent terminal 210 is connected to the network system 340, and the images are transmitted to the recognition system for identification;
[0101] The receiver 320 receives the audio and sends it to the hollow smart terminal 210 for identification and storage.
[0102] Preferably, the voice intercom system 410 is electrically connected to the hollow intelligent terminal 210, and the voice intercom system 410 is electrically connected to a speaker installed on both sides of the platform panel.
[0103] The voice reminder system 330 is electrically connected to the hollow smart terminal 210, and the voice reminder system 330 is electrically connected to the speaker.
[0104] The voice intercom system can be used when elderly passengers are on board or when passengers have a need for it. The voice prompt system will use a loudspeaker to tell the person in need how to activate the voice intercom system. After the monitoring system 310 identifies an elderly person, it will automatically activate the voice intercom system. In addition, the voice intercom system can not only conduct artificial intelligence dialogue, but can also be directly transferred to the cloud system or the public transport manual service system.
[0105] Preferably, the operation panel 420 is a smart touch screen, and the operation panel 420 is installed on the sub-panels 160 on the left and right sides of the bus stop.
[0106] The smart touchscreen displays bus routes, bus schedules, and real-time bus locations. Below the touchscreen are a scanning device electrically connected to both the touchscreen and the hollow smart terminal 210, as well as a cash payment device. The second camera 312 on the control panel 420 can identify and match the person making payment via the touchscreen. Therefore, whether paying in cash or by scanning, identification can be performed without showing an ID card. Passengers paying in cash will be immediately recognized as ticket holders upon boarding the driverless bus.
[0107] Passengers who pay via mobile phone will also have their information recorded and their identities verified.
[0108] This bus stop is also equipped with a power module, which supplies power through pre-laid cables and also supplies power to the other power modules on the bus stop.
[0109] The first camera 311 and the second camera 312 installed on the bus stop are both 360° panoramic cameras, which will accurately recognize the faces of every passenger entering the bus stop. If the face information is obscured, the passenger will be prompted by voice that the bus stop uses accurate facial recognition and passengers are requested to cooperate.
[0110] Furthermore, the driverless bus is equipped with the same monitoring system 310, which performs facial recognition and identity verification on passengers, and records their identity along with their ticket purchase.
[0111] The monitoring system 310 is electrically connected to the central intelligent terminal 210. The central intelligent terminal 210 connects the monitored personnel identity information through the network system 340, which can accurately identify each passenger and can also screen dangerous personnel and issue alarm notifications based on the network system 340 to protect passenger safety.

[0113] The operation method of the bus stop system for use with driverless buses according to the present invention includes the following operation steps:
[0114] S1: Displays all bus route information, bus schedule information, and real-time bus location information on the operation panel 420, and displays a platform query window for passengers to query and use;
[0115] S2: Surveillance cameras installed on both sides of the bus stop will collect the facial information of all passengers entering the stop and connect to the cloud system to identify passenger information;
[0116] S3: The voice reminder system 330 broadcasts the information of the bus that is about to arrive at the station in real time, and provides intermittent voice prompts. You can select the station you need to go to on the operation panel 420 in advance, and swipe your card or pay in advance at the scanning device below the operation panel 420. The card swiping and payment are done with real names.
[0117] S4: Based on the requirements of different cities for the boarding rules of elderly or special passengers, when an elderly or special passenger who meets the requirements is identified on the platform, the corresponding policy is announced by voice, and the voice intercom system 410 prompts and guides the corresponding person to board the bus smoothly; (when using cash payment or scanning payment, the second camera 312 will record the real name information of the identified person and record the payment information of the passenger at the corresponding station).
[0118] S5: When the monitoring camera identifies elderly or special passengers, it controls the rotating seats 140 on both sides of the bus stop to open and indicates that the seats are prepared for elderly or special passengers. It also determines whether to open one side or both sides based on the number of elderly and special passengers on the platform. It also monitors the information of passengers on the rotating seats 140 in real time. If it identifies a person who does not meet the requirements, it will prompt them to give up their seat. If the person refuses to give up their seat, the central intelligent terminal 210 will control the rotating seats 140 to retract. When there are no elderly or special passengers on the platform, the rotating seats 140 will rotate and retract.
[0119] S6: When a bus arrives at a stop, the system identifies passengers based on their card swipe records for the selected bus route. If a passenger is identified who has not swiped their card to pay, a voice announcement will remind them that they have not swiped their card (they can pay by scanning a QR code on the bus). The system will record the violation after one minute. If the passenger still has not paid, a record of dishonesty will be added. After two such violations, the passenger will be blacklisted and restricted from using public transportation.
[0120] S7: The hollow smart terminals 210 at each bus stop are wirelessly connected to each other. Based on the card swipe records at the previous station and the destination station records entered at the previous station, the system performs statistical analysis based on the actual number of passengers on the bus. If the number of passengers on the bus about to arrive has reached the maximum floating passenger capacity, the bus will not stop at this station if there are no passengers getting off. The system also sends a signal to the bus dispatching system through the hollow smart terminal 210 to immediately dispatch a new temporary bus. The information of the new temporary bus will also be displayed in real time on the operation panel 420.
