[0020] The following is an illustration of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the attached drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] In the embodiment of the present application of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 2 , a diamond interchange exit warning system described in the present utility model includes 3 groups of guiding markings for continuously guiding drivers to the outermost lane, a warning system for prompting drivers of road information ahead and warning drivers to pay attention to vehicle speed, and a road intersection information warning and confirmation system, thus forming a three - level sign system of "guidance, warning, and confirmation".

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 3 , the guiding markings described in the present utility model include 270m ramp exit guiding marking 10, 180m ramp exit guiding marking 11, and 90m ramp exit guiding marking 12. That is, a ground marking induction group composed of the guiding arrows of the exit road ahead 270m before the ramp exit diversion point, the guiding arrows of the exit road ahead 180m, the guiding arrows of the exit road ahead 90m, and the ground text markings corresponding to the guiding arrows. The ground marking induction group can extremely prominently remind drivers of road diversion information and timely and effectively guide drivers to perform lane - changing actions in sequence, effectively avoiding the occurrence of dangerous driving behaviors.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 1, the vehicle speed warning and intersection warning system of the present utility model includes a radar speed detector 1, a first wireless communication module 2, a single-chip microcomputer 3, a second wireless communication module 4, a variable message sign 5, a first power supply 6, a third wireless communication module 7, an infrared laser detection device 8, a second power supply 9, and a warning line 14. Among them, the infrared laser detection device 8 obtains whether the vehicle crosses the warning line 14, and uses the third wireless communication module 7 to transmit the vehicle queuing data on the ramp to the single-chip microcomputer 3. After processing the information, the single-chip microcomputer 3 stores it as V0. The radar speed detector 1 obtains the driving speed V1 of the vehicle entering the ramp and connects to the single-chip microcomputer 3 using the first wireless communication module 2. The single-chip microcomputer 3 compares the theoretical safe speed V0 with the vehicle speed V1. If V0 > V1, it outputs the current vehicle speed and the section speed limit; if V0 < V1, it outputs the safe vehicle speed, the current vehicle speed, and the words "overspeed and rear-end collision, pay attention to vehicle speed". The single-chip microcomputer 3 connects to the variable message sign 5 using the third wireless communication module. In the present utility model, the first power supply provides energy for the radar speed detector, the first wireless communication module, the single-chip microcomputer, the second wireless communication module 4, and the variable message sign 5, and the second power supply 9 provides energy for the third wireless communication module 7 and the infrared laser detection device 8.

[0025] More specifically, the technical solutions adopted for the technical problems of the present utility model include the following steps:

[0026] Step 1: Obtain the queuing situation of ramp vehicles in real time through the infrared laser detection device 8;

[0027] Step 2: Calculate the theoretical safe speed according to parameters such as the ramp stopping distance margin, ramp slope, and longitudinal friction coefficient;

[0028] Step 3: Obtain the driving speed of the vehicle entering the ramp through the radar speed detector;

[0029] Step 4: Determine whether the vehicle driving speed is greater than the theoretical safe passing speed. If so, the variable message sign 5 displays the safe vehicle speed, the current vehicle speed, and the red words "overspeed and rear-end collision, pay attention to vehicle speed"; otherwise, it only displays the current vehicle speed and the section speed limit.

[0030] Further, the present utility model assumes that the asphalt concrete pavement is in a dry state daily, and the longitudinal friction coefficient is 0.6. If it is detected that the road surface friction coefficient changes due to weather reasons, the corresponding road surface states of wet, rain, snow, and ice slip are multiplied by reduction coefficients of 0.7, 0.45, and 0.3 respectively.

[0031] Further, the information stored in the signal processing module of the present utility model includes the ramp slope and the length from the ramp top to the ramp bottom.

[0032] Further, the formula for the signal processing module of the present utility model to calculate the theoretical safe speed by synthesizing each stored data is as follows:

[0033]

[0034]

[0035] Among them, V0 is the theoretical safe speed of the vehicle when entering the ramp; S is the length from the top to the bottom of the ramp; n is the number of vehicles crossing the warning line; is the length occupied by the waiting vehicles on the ramp. Generally, it is taken as 6 - 12 m. When the vehicle type is not clear, it is generally taken as 9 m; t0 is the reaction time of the driver, generally 0.4 - 1 s; is the longitudinal friction coefficient between the vehicle tire and the road surface, i is the longitudinal slope of the ramp, and g is taken as 9.8 m / s².

[0036] Furthermore, the present utility model obtains the vehicle speed V1 of the exiting vehicle through a radar speed measurement device.

[0037] Furthermore, the signal processing module of the present utility model compares the theoretical safe speed V0 with the vehicle speed V1. If V0 > V1, it outputs the current vehicle speed and the speed limit of the section; if V0 < V1, it outputs the safe vehicle speed, the current vehicle speed, and the words "overspeed and rear-end collision, pay attention to vehicle speed".

[0038] Furthermore, the signal sending module is used to feedback the processing result of the signal processing module to the variable message sign 5 to prompt the driver whether they can pass safely.

[0039] More specifically, the intersection information confirmation sign of the present utility model is the lane information signboard 13 of the intersection stop line. It adopts a double cantilever support structure and is provided with an engineering grade reflective film strip on the outer surface. The content of the information board is the lane information of the intersection ahead. By setting the intersection information confirmation sign before the ramp landing section, it guides the driver to complete lane change before reaching the intersection ahead, reduces the influence degree when merging into the ground main line, and effectively ensures the stability of the traffic flow in this area.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By setting up a three - level sign system of "guidance, warning, and confirmation" at the front exit, namely "ground marking induction group, vehicle speed warning system, intersection information warning and confirmation system", it realizes more accurate and safe driving guidance, thus meeting the driving needs of drivers to pass safely and drive out smoothly, and ensuring the traffic safety of the exit section of the diamond interchange.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
