Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a patent application entitled "A Smart Operation and Management Platform for Safety and Energy Saving in Highway Tunnels". The original application was filed on November 27, 2020, with application number 202011367108.6. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the fields of the Internet of Things and the Internet, specifically to a smart operation and management platform for the safety and energy conservation of highway tunnels. Background Technology

[0003] With the development of highways, a large number of highway tunnels have been built. Currently, highway tunnels mainly have the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Poor lighting effect: The main reasons for poor tunnel lighting effect are poor lighting effect and poor reflectivity of wall and floor materials, which leads to poor driver vision and thus frequent traffic accidents.

[0005] 2. The black hole and white hole effects are significant: a black hole effect occurs when entering a tunnel, and a white hole effect occurs when exiting a tunnel. These two effects have a great impact on the driver's vision and are also the main causes of traffic accidents.

[0006] 3. Significant waste of resources: Currently, tunnel lighting is either fully on or only partially on. For tunnels with low traffic efficiency, it is impossible to turn on the lights as needed. This situation greatly wastes electricity and reduces the lifespan of the lighting. At the same time, the ventilation fans in the tunnel are also in the same situation, and they are usually on for a long time, so they cannot be turned on as needed.

[0007] 4. Low fire emergency response efficiency: If a fire or other incident occurs in the tunnel, it is difficult for the fire emergency response team to arrive in time. Since the tunnel is a semi-enclosed environment, if a fire accident cannot be controlled in time, the consequences will be very serious, and the loss of people, property and assets will be enormous. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the above issues, this invention provides a smart operation and management platform for safe and energy-saving highway tunnels. By combining the Internet of Things and the Internet, it enables intelligent control and data collection of various devices and sensors within the highway tunnels, and sends corresponding instructions, thereby reducing resource waste and improving safety.

[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0037] The IoT server receives signals collected by the sensor unit, preprocesses them, combines them into data according to the requirements of the custom communication protocol, and then encrypts them using the DES and RSA algorithms before sending them to the Internet module.
