[0037] An ambient light intensity detection module, connected to the controller module, for detecting the ambient light intensity around the signal light;

[0038] A battery voltage detection module, connected to the controller module, for detecting the voltage state of a battery connected to the signal light;

[0039] The solar panel voltage detection module is connected to the controller module and is used to detect the voltage state of the solar panel connected to the battery.

[0040] Through the above-mentioned settings, the controller module can identify the brightness state of the signal light according to the battery voltage state and the ambient light intensity, and adjust the brightness of the signal light through the signal light drive control module; in addition, it can also identify the fault state of the signal light according to the voltage and current state of the signal light, identify the undervoltage state of the battery according to the battery voltage state, and make the signal light flash yellow through the signal light drive control module.

[0041] It can be understood that the voltage state of the battery is equivalent to the power supply voltage. The voltage of the signal light is output to both ends of the signal light through the MOS switch circuit. The voltage of each signal light is independent, so the voltage of each signal light is detected. There are 24 voltage states and 24 current states for 8 groups of red, yellow and green signal lights.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the controller module includes a main control module, a TTL communication port, an RS232 communication port, an Ethernet module and a 4G module. The main control module is connected to the GPS through the TTL communication port, to the human-computer interaction end through the RS232 communication port, and to the cloud platform through the Ethernet module and the 4G module.

[0043] The main control module adopts the chip STM32F103VCT6.

[0044] The TTL communication port is connected to the GPS and can automatically calibrate the system time.

[0046] In addition, it also includes a base station and a switch, and the cloud platform is connected to the 4G module through the base station and to the Ethernet module through the switch. It can update the operating status, location positioning, timing parameters and other information of the traffic light to the cloud platform regularly, and send it to the cloud platform when a fault alarm or undervoltage warning occurs. An internal private protocol is used during data transmission, and the cloud platform acts as a server.

[0047] Through the above settings, the human-computer interaction terminal and the cloud platform can receive the recognition results of the undervoltage state and fault state of the signal light; through the positioning information and time information obtained by the GPS, automatic time calibration is performed, and the positioning information of the signal light is output to the cloud platform.

A certain bit outputs a "1" level to the drive circuit to light up the corresponding signal light. A certain bit outputs a "0" level to the drive circuit to turn off the corresponding signal light. The controller outputs a 100Hz PWM signal to the OE pin of the 74HC595D, and controls the brightness of the signal light by adjusting the PWM duty cycle.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the signal lamp voltage and current state detection module includes multiple cascaded 8-bit parallel input / serial output shift registers, the model of which is 74HC165D. The controller reads 6 bytes of data serially in a shift manner, and each bit is used as a feedback signal of the detection circuit. If there is voltage or current at a certain signal lamp end, the corresponding data bit is input with a "1" level to the controller. If there is no voltage or current at a certain signal lamp end, the corresponding data bit is input with a "0" level to the controller.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the ambient light intensity monitoring module includes a resistor R8, a photoresistor R11 and a capacitor C1, one end of the photoresistor R11 is connected to one end of the capacitor C1 and then grounded, the other end of the photoresistor R11 is connected to one end of the resistor R8 and the other end of the capacitor C1, the other end of the resistor R8 is connected to a power supply VCC, and the other end of the photoresistor R11, one end of the resistor R8 and the other end of the capacitor C1 are connected to each other and then connected to the ADC pin of the controller module.

[0052] The ambient light intensity is converted into a voltage value through a resistor and a photoresistor voltage divider, and connected to the ADC pin of the main control chip. According to the 3.3V power supply and the upper arm 100k ratio, the average resistance of the photoresistor R11 under 110lx illumination is 37k, and the sampling voltage is 0.9V; the average resistance of the photoresistor R11 under 55lx illumination is 70k, and the sampling voltage is 1.3V. When the main control chip controls the brightness of the signal light according to the obtained ambient light intensity, the relationship between the sampling voltage of the photoresistor R11 and the PWM duty cycle is shown in Table 1.

[0054]

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the battery voltage detection module includes a resistor R9, a resistor R12 and a capacitor C2, one end of the resistor R12 is connected to one end of the capacitor C2 and then grounded, the other end of the resistor R12 is connected to one end of the resistor R9 and the other end of the capacitor C2, the other end of the resistor R9 is connected to the output end BAT of the battery, and the other end of the resistor R12, one end of the resistor R9 and the other end of the capacitor C2 are connected to each other and then connected to the ADC pin of the controller module.

[0056] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4As shown, the solar panel voltage detection module includes a resistor R10, a resistor R13 and a capacitor C3, one end of the resistor R13 is connected to one end of the capacitor C3 and then grounded, the other end of the resistor R13 is connected to one end of the resistor R10 and the other end of the capacitor C3, the other end of the resistor R10 is connected to the output end SOLAR of the solar panel, and the other end of the resistor R13, one end of the resistor R10 and the other end of the capacitor C3 are connected to each other and then connected to the ADC pin of the controller module.

[0057] pass Figure 3 and Figure 4 The circuit divides the battery voltage and the solar panel voltage respectively, limits them to the 3.3V voltage range allowed by the main control chip, and connects them to the ADC pin of the main control chip. When the main control chip controls the brightness of the signal light according to the battery voltage and the solar panel voltage, the relationship between the battery voltage, the solar panel voltage and the PWM duty cycle is shown in Table 2.

[0059]

[0060] In one embodiment, as shown in Table 2, the controller module identifies the battery undervoltage state by analyzing the battery voltage state; when the battery voltage is lower than 10.5V, the controller module identifies the battery undervoltage state, automatically downgrades operation, flashes the yellow light through the signal light drive control module, and sends information to the platform end through the 4G communication module or the Ethernet communication module. After 5 minutes, all signal lights are turned off; the battery voltage state is analyzed, and when the battery voltage is higher than 11.5V, the controller module identifies the battery undervoltage recovery state, and the red, yellow, and green signal lights are normally cycled through the drive control module.

[0061] The controller module identifies fault information by analyzing the output state, voltage state, and current state of the signal light; outputs a "1" level to the red light in the drive circuit module, detects that its voltage state or current state is "0", and identifies the abnormal extinguishing fault of the red light; outputs a "0" level to the yellow light in the drive circuit module, detects that its voltage state or current state is "1", and identifies the abnormal lighting fault of the yellow light; detects that the voltage states of the red and green lights of the same group of signal lights are both "1", and identifies the simultaneous lighting fault of the red and green lights; according to the voltage state of the green lights of the signal lights in each direction, query the traffic flow right-of-way conflict table shown in Table 3 to identify the traffic flow right-of-way conflict fault; the controller identifies the fault state, automatically downgrades operation, flashes the yellow light through the drive control module, and sends information to the platform end through the 4G communication module or the Ethernet communication module. After 3 minutes of continuous yellow flashing, it recovers and re-identifies the fault state. If the fault still exists after returning 3 times, the yellow light flashes through the drive control module all the time, and waits for maintenance personnel to repair and restart.
