[0002] With the rapid development of traffic infrastructure construction and the continuous increase in the vehicle ownership, highway traffic safety issues have become increasingly prominent, especially in key areas such as highway construction sections, ice-prone sections, bridgeheads, and emergency lanes. Due to the complex and changeable traffic organization and restricted driving conditions, accidents such as vehicles accidentally entering or getting congested occur frequently, posing a serious threat to the lives and property safety of the people. Traditional highway safety warning methods mainly rely on physical means such as setting up temporary signs, voice prompt facilities, and warning strobe lights. However, these means have poor effects under conditions with low visibility such as at night, in rainy and foggy weather, and cannot monitor the traffic flow in real time and provide accurate safety warnings. At the same time, traditional warning methods often require manual operation and maintenance, which are not only inefficient but also unable to adapt to the complex and changeable traffic environment.

[0042] Specifically, when the intelligent flag-waving warning robot for roads is hit, it reads its own tilt angle and uploads the collision information and tilt angle data to the server in real time. The server sends an abnormal message to the manager's mobile phone, and the manager can correct the abnormal situation of the intelligent flag-waving warning robot for roads in a timely manner.

[0043] The working method of the intelligent flag-waving warning robot for roads of the present utility model is as follows:

[0044] Step 1: Charge the robot before deploying it on the road.

[0045] Step 2: Deploy the robot on the road so that the robot is at a specific position in front of the expected prohibited intrusion area, orient the LED screen 306 towards the oncoming vehicle direction, and start working after pressing the power switch of the robot. The LED screen 306 displays traffic flow guidance or speed limit information.

[0046] Specifically, the robot can be deployed on the road so that the robot is 150 m in front of the expected prohibited intrusion area.

[0047] Step 3: When a vehicle approaches, the robot starts. The microwave radar 303 is a multi-target speed measurement and ranging millimeter-wave radar, which divides the lanes in the oncoming vehicle direction, detects the oncoming vehicle through electromagnetic wave scanning and signal processing, and returns the speed and position of the oncoming vehicle in the electromagnetic wave coverage area. The embedded control board 403 reads and analyzes the data of the microwave radar 303, and controls the horn 302, the strobe light 305, and the LED screen 306 to work according to the data situation.

[0048] Step 4: The administrator remotely rotates the camera 304 so that the camera 304 faces the expected prohibited intrusion area. When the camera 304 faces the oncoming vehicle direction, it is used to remotely view the road conditions, and identifies highway passenger transport, tourist passenger transport, and hazardous chemical transport vehicles through algorithms, identifies the license plate and uploads it to the management platform through the router 402. When the camera 304 faces the rear of the warning robot, it is used to remotely view the safety management situation of the construction area, and identifies whether the construction personnel wear safety helmets and reflective vests through algorithms, and whether the safety cones are properly arranged, and reports the violation information in a timely manner.

[0049] Step 5: The horn 302 is an outdoor waterproof high-power horn. When the oncoming vehicle speed is normal and there is no risk of intruding into the rear protection area, the horn 302 does not work. When the oncoming vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit value preset by the system, the horn 302 emits a beeping warning sound. When the oncoming vehicle is less than a specific set distance from the intelligent flag-waving warning robot for roads, the horn 302 emits a more rapid beeping warning sound according to the distance between the vehicle and the intelligent flag-waving warning robot for roads.
