[0027] Further, the monitoring host computer and the monitoring backup machine are connected with the mine 10G switch main machine, and the mine 10G switch main machine is connected with the plurality of mine 10G switch extension machines.
[0028] Further, each mine 10G switch extension machine is connected with a card reader, and the card reader is connected with an LED display screen and an antenna.
[0029] Further, the antenna is connected with the UWB tag card and the RFID tag card through a wireless carrier signal, the UWB tag card emits a wireless carrier signal at regular intervals, and the RFID tag card and the antenna perform uninterrupted wireless carrier signal transmission.
[0030] Further, a controller is connected between the card reader and the LED display screen, and the controller is connected with the card reader and the LED display screen through RS485.
[0031] Further, the LED display screen, the controller, the card reader and the antenna are arranged at the intersection under the mine.
[0032] Further, the LED display screen displays red light and green light conditions.
[0033] Further, the physical layer part is composed of the UWB tag card, the RFID tag card, the antenna, the card reader and the LED display screen, and the wireless ranging information is transmitted and received, and the position information of the identification card is calculated by the card reader and displayed on the LED display screen.
[0034] Further, the network layer part is composed of the industrial Ethernet transmission platform composed of the mine 10G switch, and finally the wireless ranging information is uploaded to the application layer center.
[0035] Further, the application layer part is composed of the center computer server composed of the monitoring host and the monitoring backup, and the wireless ranging information is received and processed through the network, and the specific position information of the monitoring target is displayed in real time.
[0036] Further, the UWB tag card is an active radio frequency identification card containing an RFID and a uwb positioning chip. The UWB tag card periodically transmits a wireless carrier signal, and after the card reader receives the signal, it returns a data packet containing the signal flight time slot to the tag card. After the tag card receives the return signal of the card reader, it sends an acknowledgement signal again, and the card reader receives the signal for the second time, that is, a signal flight cycle is completed. The ranging is initiated by the card reader, the pulse signal is calculated and returned by the UWB tag card, and the pulse signal is sent by the card reader, the pulse signal is calculated and returned by the UWB tag card, and the distance measurement value is calculated by the card reader according to the two ranging.
[0037] The RFID tag card detects the distance based on the propagation and reflection of electromagnetic waves. When the card reader transmits a radio wave of a specific frequency, the waves will encounter nearby RFID tags and partially reflect back to the card reader. The card reader can calculate the distance between the RFID tag card by measuring the time delay or the change of signal strength of the reflected signal.
[0038] Regarding UWB ranging;
[0039] Through Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the card reader has three antennas, each pointing in one of the three directions under the mine. The UWB tag card under the mine initiates a pulse signal at time TA, and the card reader reads the pulse signal at time TB. The card reader also reads the same pulse signal at times TC and TD. By subtracting TA from TB, TC and TD, T1, T2 and T3 are obtained, and by judging the time length, the specific direction of the vehicle is obtained. The time length formula is as follows:
[0040] T1 = TB-TA;
[0041] T2 = TC-TA;
[0042] T3 = TD-TA;
[0043] Based on the above results, assuming T3>T2>T1, it can be concluded that the antenna receiving the pulse signal at time TB is facing the direction of the vehicle or person. The card reader sends a pulse signal at time TE. When the signal is received by the tag card at time TF, the time difference between the pulse signal of the tag card and the arrival of the card reader is calculated based on TA, TF, TB, and TE. The formula is:
[0044]
[0045] T is the one-way flight time of the pulse signal in the air;
[0046] Assuming that the speed of the pulse signal flying in the air is the speed of light C, the distance between the tag card and the card reader is recorded as D1, and the calculation formula of the distance D1 is: D1 = T*C.
[0047] About RFID tag distance measurement:
[0048] As shown in the schematic diagram, the card reader has three antennas, each facing three directions in the mine. The RFID tag in the mine moves within the mine tunnel and can only be read by the antenna in the mine tunnel to which it belongs. The corresponding distance Df is calculated based on the signal received by the card reader. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0049]
[0050] Where Gt is the reader antenna gain, Pt is the reader transmit power, RCS is the radar cross section difference of the electronic tag, γ is a fixed value for the test, and Pth is the reader sensitivity.
[0051] The principle of this utility model is as follows: The LED display at an intersection is red and green, forming a traffic light. The traffic light displays green when no vehicles are passing. When multiple vehicles or people approach the intersection, the light switches to green for that vehicle based on the distance and time it took them to reach the intersection. All other lights at the intersection switch to red. After the vehicle or person passes, the next target vehicle is determined based on the distance and time it took other vehicles to reach the intersection, and the traffic light at that direction switches to green. If the card reader detects the highest-priority vehicle or person, the traffic light in that direction switches to green, while the lights in other directions switch to red, ensuring that the vehicle or person has priority to pass through and ensuring right-of-way. If multiple vehicles or people arrive at the intersection simultaneously, the vehicle with the highest priority is prioritized, and the vehicle with the highest priority is given priority until all vehicles and people have passed.
[0052] Embodiment 1 of the present utility model:
[0053] Regarding the priority and safety of the above vehicles and pedestrians: Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown;
[0054] Priority processing: Vehicle and personnel identification and processing. Vehicles and personnel all wear tag cards (UWB tag cards and RFID tag cards), but the tag cards have different priorities. When different people and vehicles wearing tag cards pass through the intersection, the card reader identifies different tag cards and determines the current position of people and vehicles, adjusts the switching of traffic lights, and allows those with higher priorities to pass through the intersection first within a relative time. For example, when the intersection reader detects that vehicle A, vehicle C and person B are about to pass through the intersection at the same time, the reader will read the priority relationship in the tag cards of vehicle A, vehicle C and person B. Vehicle A is read as having the highest priority, and the light is switched to green in the direction of the intersection first, ensuring that vehicle A has priority right of passage at the intersection. When vehicle A is detected leaving the intersection, the reader reads that person B and vehicle C need to pass through the intersection, and determines that person B has a higher priority, so the red light at the intersection is switched to green, ensuring that person B passes through with priority. After person B passes the intersection, the red light facing vehicle C is switched to green, and the lights in other directions are all red, allowing vehicle C to pass.
[0055] Embodiment 2 of the present utility model:
[0056] Safety: Ensuring the safety of vehicles and people passing through, such as constantly tracking intersection conditions. Our tags utilize a fusion of UWB and RFID for positioning. When people and vehicles are far from the intersection, the reader, if able to read the tag's UWB signal, can determine their coordinates and distance based on the UWB signal. When a vehicle or person approaches the intersection within 10-15 meters, the reader also picks up the tag's RFID signal and, by processing the RFID signal, determines their direction and distance. Combined with the UWB signal from the tag, the reader can determine the vehicle's distance, direction, and priority level. This improves vehicle and person recognition, enables real-time monitoring and tracking, and enhances system reliability and responsiveness.
[0057] When the present invention is implemented, UWB tag cards and RFID tag cards are both set on vehicles or people to achieve accurate positioning and distance calculation.
[0058] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to them. Any changes or substitutions that do not require creative work should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection defined in the claims.
