[0025] The blind spot warning device in this embodiment includes an AI algorithm camera 1 for monitoring the movement direction of a target object and determining whether the target object is in a designated warning area, a roadside warning light 2 and an underground warning light 3 for warning traffic participants and reminding the driver that a moving object is approaching an intersection, and a display screen for reminding traffic participants and displaying text information. The roadside warning light 2, the underground warning light 3 and the display screen are all wirelessly or linearly connected to the AI algorithm camera 1.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the blind spot warning device is applied to zebra crossing warning as follows:
[0027] 1. When a pedestrian enters from area 0: roadside warning light 2A and roadside warning light 2B light up; when the pedestrian leaves area 0 and enters area 1: roadside warning light 2A goes out and roadside warning light 2B continues to light up; when the pedestrian leaves area 1: roadside warning light 2B also goes out.
[0028] 2. When a pedestrian enters area 2: roadside warning light 2A and roadside warning light 2B light up; when the pedestrian leaves area 2 and enters area 3: roadside warning light 2B goes out and roadside warning light 2A continues to light up; when the pedestrian leaves area 3: roadside warning light 2A also goes out.
[0029] 3. When a pedestrian enters from area 4: roadside warning lights 2C and 2D light up. When a pedestrian leaves area 4 and enters area 5: roadside warning lights 2C go out, but roadside warning lights 2D continue to light up.
[0030] When the pedestrian leaves area 5: the roadside warning light 2D also goes out.
[0031] 4. When a pedestrian enters from area 6: roadside warning light 2C and roadside warning light 2D light up; when the pedestrian leaves area 6 and enters area 7: roadside warning light 2D goes out and roadside warning light 2C continues to light up; when the pedestrian leaves area 7: roadside warning light 2C also goes out.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the blind spot warning device is used for intersection warning as follows, and the left and right side markings are based on the direction of travel:
[0033] 1. AI algorithm camera 1 in the X-axis direction: When a moving object in area A approaches the intersection, the roadside warning lights 2 on the left side of area B and the right side of area D are activated. When a moving object in area C approaches the intersection, the roadside warning lights 2 on the right side of area B and the left side of area D are activated, and the underground warning lights 3 are also lit.
[0034] 2. AI algorithm camera 1 in the Y-axis direction: When a moving object in area B approaches the intersection, the roadside warning lights 2 on the right side of area A and the left side of area C are activated. When a moving object in area D approaches the intersection, the roadside warning lights 2 on the left side of area A and the right side of area C are activated, and the underground warning lights 3 are also lit.
[0035] That is to say, by using the AI algorithm camera 1 arranged at the far end of the X and Y axis directions, the moving direction information of moving objects (pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) in the four designated areas A, B, C, and D is monitored, and the AI algorithm is used to determine whether there is a risk of collision; if a moving object appears at an intersection in the X and Y axis directions at the same time, the system will issue a warning signal, and the underground warning light 3 and the roadside warning light 2 will issue a warning signal; if a moving object appears in only one of the areas and moves towards the intersection, the system will not alarm, and if a moving object appears in two areas on the same axis, the system will not alarm.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the blind spot warning device is used in T-junction warning as follows: when a moving object in area A approaches the intersection, the roadside warning lights 2 on the left side of area A and the left side of the branch road are activated; when a moving object in area B approaches the intersection, the roadside warning lights 2 on the right side of area B and the right side of the branch road are activated; when a moving object on the branch road approaches the intersection, all roadside warning lights 2 on both sides of area AB are activated, and the underground warning lights 3 are also activated.
[0037] An AI algorithm camera 1 is installed at the far end of the non-motorized vehicle lane to delineate the area to be monitored and the direction of movement of moving objects (pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) in the set area, and the AI algorithm is used to determine whether there is a collision risk; if a vehicle in the main lane needs to turn into a branch road, or a moving object on the branch road needs to turn into a non-motorized vehicle lane or a main road, and there is a moving object in the non-motorized vehicle lane approaching the intersection, the system sends out a warning signal, and the underground warning light 3 and the roadside warning light 2 send out a warning signal; if there is no moving object in area A and area B, or the moving direction of the moving object is facing away from or away from the intersection, the system does not alarm.
[0038] Another blind spot warning device includes a monitoring mechanism, a roadside warning light 2 and an underground warning light 3 for warning traffic participants and reminding the driver that a moving object is approaching an intersection, and a display screen for reminding traffic participants and displaying text information. The roadside warning light 2, the buried warning light 3 and the display screen are all wirelessly or linearly connected to the monitoring mechanism, and the monitoring mechanism is a millimeter wave radar or a lidar.
[0039] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the vehicle right turn blind spot warning scheme is as follows:
[0040] An AI algorithm camera 1 is installed at one end of the turning lane in the direction of vehicle front travel. The turning path is demarcated into area 1 for determining whether the vehicle has turning behavior. At the same time, area 2 is set in front of the turning area in the direction of vehicle front in area 1, which partially overlaps with area 1. Areas 3 and 4 are set to the left and right of area 1. The AI algorithm camera 1 determines the travel direction of areas 3 and 4. The AI algorithm camera 1, display screen, flashing light, directional speaker, directional antenna and other devices are installed on the cross frame 5.
[0041] The vehicle right turn blind spot warning logic is as follows:
[0042] If it is determined that a vehicle is turning in area 1, and there is a target object in area 2, and there are behaviors approaching area 1 in areas 3 and 4, as long as one of the thresholds in areas 2, 3, and 4 meets the alarm condition, the system will determine that there is a cross risk and issue an early warning through the alarm device. If only the threshold in area 1 is met, and none of the thresholds in areas 2, 3, and 4 meet the early warning condition individually or in any combination, the system will not issue an early warning. If only areas 2, 3, and 4, or any combination of these three areas, exist, and there is no alarm threshold in area 1, the system will not issue an alarm.
[0043] The components of the vehicle right turn blind spot warning alarm device are as follows:
[0044] 1. A horizontal frame is provided at a high position at the front end of the vehicle in the turning lane and is equipped with an AI device, such as an AI algorithm camera 1;
[0045] a. Installing large LED display screens is mainly used to display text information, such as danger, parking and other text information;
[0046] b. Install high-brightness flashing lights;
[0047] c. Install ultrasonic directional speakers for voice reminders. Ultrasonic directional radars arrange ultrasonic sound-emitting units according to the area where the sound needs to be transmitted, such as an angle of 25 degrees;
[0048] d. It is equipped with a directional image transmission antenna and uses hotspot transmission. When the vehicle passes through area 1 and the system determines that there is a turning behavior, the hotspot signal automatically connects to the display in the vehicle, and can wirelessly transmit the real-time image of the monitored area to the display installed in the vehicle, providing traffic participants with real-time images of the vehicle's surroundings. The display will be automatically turned off when the hotspot signal is lost after leaving area 1.
[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the traffic light mode at the intersection has the following logic:
[0050] An AI algorithm camera 1 is installed in each of the XY axis directions. The far end of the AI algorithm camera 1 in the X axis direction is zone 1, which is set to approach, and the near end is zone 2, which is set to stay away. The far end of the AI algorithm camera 1 in the Y axis direction is zone 3, which is set to approach, and the near end is zone 4, which is set to stay away. Four traffic lights 4 are set at the XY axis intersection in a conventional mode.
[0051] When the XY axes trigger one or two thresholds respectively, all yellow lights or red lights will flash to remind traffic participants that there may be cross-risks and to take measures to avoid them in advance; if there is only one axis of the XY axes and this axis triggers both the approach and distance thresholds at the same time, all green lights will flash to remind traffic participants in the two directions relative to this axis to pay attention to the situation in the opposite direction; if there is only one axis of the XY axes and this axis only triggers one of the approach and distance thresholds, all green lights will be on; when no thresholds are triggered in either the XY axes, all green lights will be on.
[0052] In addition, it should be noted that the shapes and names of the parts and components of the specific embodiments described in this specification may be different, and the above content described in this specification is only an example of the structure of the utility model. All equivalent changes or simple changes made based on the structure, features and principles described in the patent concept of the utility model are included in the protection scope of the utility model patent. Technicians in the technical field of the utility model can make various modifications or supplements to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined by the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
