Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of expressway monitoring, and in particular to an expressway isolation fence early warning inspection system. Background Art

[0002] The expressway is a high-grade, fully enclosed highway. Apart from interchanges, toll stations, parking areas and service areas, there will be no other level intersections. In other words, except for the entrances and exits designed for the expressway, such as toll stations, interchanges and service areas, no vehicles other than the roads will enter the expressway. This effectively ensures the driving safety of vehicles at high speeds.

[0003] Pedestrians and non-motor vehicles are strictly prohibited from passing through the expressway, but some villagers still enter and exit the expressway by destroying the isolation fences for convenience, which not only affects the normal traffic order of the expressway, but also poses a serious threat to their own safety. At the same time, the supervision and maintenance departments will also bear the responsibility for untimely maintenance. How to promptly detect the damage of the isolation fences along the expressway is the focus and difficulty of daily management of the relevant management departments.

[0004] The daily maintenance of fences is mainly to prevent rust and to detect and repair damaged fences in time. Since the detection of fence problems requires manual inspection, many fence loopholes are difficult to be discovered in time, threatening the safety of road traffic. Long-term use of manual inspections requires the arrangement of vehicles, personnel and other departments to coordinate regular inspections, and the inspection time is relatively long, resulting in a large waste of manpower, material and financial resources.

[0005] The current status of the use of isolation fences is that they are often damaged by humans and cannot be discovered and repaired in time, resulting in people or animals crossing the highway, which in turn causes traffic accidents and poses a great hidden danger to the driving safety of the highway.

When someone invades or damages the isolation fence near the isolation fence, the staff can operate the monitoring terminal to make the warning device sound an alarm, and then drive away the intruder. At the same time, the highway staff can also regularly check the on-site video captured by the camera to promptly discover the damaged isolation fence and repair it, thereby ensuring driving safety on the highway.

[0011] Preferably, the camera is also provided with an infrared detection module, a GPS module and a storage module, and the infrared detection module, the GPS module and the storage module are electrically connected to the first communication module respectively. With the help of the infrared detection module, the camera can realize functions such as thermal imaging and distance detection, the GPS module can provide the geographical location of each camera, and the storage module can directly store the live video captured by the camera.

[0012] Further preferably, the infrared detection module includes an infrared temperature sensor and an infrared photoelectric sensor, which are integrated in the lens of the camera, wherein the infrared temperature sensor includes a PIR sensor and a TIR sensor. The PIR sensor can detect whether there is a dynamic heat source moving in the area, the TIR sensor can measure the temperature of the target surface, and the infrared photoelectric sensor can detect the distance between the target in the area and the camera.
