[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Parts not described or disclosed in detail in the following embodiments of this utility model should be understood as prior art known or should be known by those skilled in the art, such as how the host computer controls and connects the vehicle detection subsystem, the direction guidance subsystem and the vehicle passage control subsystem, etc.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A freight yard vehicle guidance system, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a host computer that controls and connects to a vehicle detection subsystem, a direction guidance subsystem, and a vehicle passage control subsystem. The vehicle detection subsystem includes multiple cameras 6 positioned on the side of road 1, which capture images of vehicles 3. The cameras 6 transmit the captured images of vehicles 3 to the host computer, which then identifies the license plate information of the vehicle 3, determines the adequacy of the cargo loaded on the vehicle 3, and analyzes the vehicle 3's driving route based on these images. How the cameras 6 transmit the captured images to the host computer and how the host computer analyzes the images to obtain the necessary information are conventional technologies in the art and will not be elaborated upon here. The host computer transmits the obtained license plate information and the vehicle 3's driving route to the direction guidance subsystem. Based on the determination of the adequacy of the cargo loaded on the vehicle 3, the host computer controls the vehicle passage control subsystem. How the host computer determines the adequacy of the cargo loaded on the vehicle 3 is also conventional technology in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0032] The directional guidance subsystem includes multiple guidance components embedded at the intersections of Road 1. Each guidance component includes multiple directional display screens 7. The host computer illuminates one of the corresponding directional display screens 7 based on the license plate information and the vehicle 3's driving route. When the directional display screen 7 is illuminated, it displays a guide arrow 8 corresponding to Road 1. The vehicle 3 travels according to the direction indicated by the guide arrow 8, improving the flexibility of vehicle guidance. Since the directional display screen 7 is embedded at the intersections of Road 1, a transparent protective shell is fixedly installed on top of each directional display screen 7 to protect it from damage. The transparent protective shell does not obstruct the driver's view of the directional display screen 7. The transparent protective shell includes a top plate 15 and a frame 1501 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate 15. The inner side of the frame 1501 forms a receiving space 16 for accommodating the directional display screen 7. In order to fix the transparent protective shell to the road 1, the frame 1501 is fixedly connected to the road 1 by a plurality of connecting bolts 17, and a plurality of second countersunk holes 18 are provided on the frame 1501 for accommodating the heads of the connecting bolts 17, so as to prevent the wheels of the vehicle 3 from contacting the heads of the connecting bolts 17 when the vehicle 3 drives over.

[0033] The vehicle 3 passage control subsystem includes multiple barrier gates 2 installed on road 1. The barrier gates 2 are used to intercept or allow vehicles 3 to pass. If the cargo loaded on vehicle 3 is qualified, the host computer controls the barrier gates 2 to allow vehicle 3 to pass; if the cargo loaded on vehicle 3 is unqualified, the host computer controls the barrier gates 2 to intercept vehicle 3 and issue an alarm. How the host computer issues the alarm is conventional prior art in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The above are the basic embodiments of this utility model. Further improvements, optimizations, and limitations can be made based on the above to obtain the following embodiments:

[0035] Example 2

[0036] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in: [The following is a more detailed description of the improvement.] Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, to prevent rainwater from entering the receiving space 16 and damaging the directional display screen 7, receiving grooves adapted to the shapes of the top plate 15 and the frame 1501 are opened in the road 1. A distance is left between the edge of the top plate 15 and the frame 1501, so that a stepped waterproof protrusion can be formed between the top plate 15 and the frame 1501. To further enhance the waterproof effect, sealing rings 10 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both the top plate 15 and the frame 1501.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in: [The following is a more detailed description of the improvement.] Figures 6-8 As shown, the directional guidance subsystem includes multiple speed bumps 4, which are fixedly installed on the road 1. When a vehicle 3 drives over a speed bump 4, it slows down and simultaneously alerts the driver. A groove 19 is formed in the speed bump 4, and an information display screen 5 is fixedly installed in the groove 19. The driver can see the license plate information displayed on the information display screen 5 to determine the route indicated by the illuminated directional display screen 7 located at the intersection. When the driver feels the speed bump 4, they can be prompted to look at the directional display screen 7. Simultaneously, to prevent the wheels of the vehicle 3 from always running over the information display screen 5, the groove 19 can be positioned in the middle of the speed bump 4, avoiding the wheels. How to power the information display screen 5 is conventional prior art in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Since the information display screen 5 is located outdoors, a transparent protective cover 11 is fixedly installed at the opening of the recess 19 to protect it. The transparent protective cover 11 includes a protective panel 1101 and a support frame 1102 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protective panel 1101. The support frame 1102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the recess 19. The protective panel 1101 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the recess 19 by multiple mounting bolts 12, and the protective panel 1101 has multiple first countersunk holes 14 for accommodating the heads of the mounting bolts 12, preventing the wheels of the vehicle 3 from contacting the heads of the mounting bolts 12 when the vehicle 3 passes by.

[0040] Example 4

[0041] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 3. Its main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in: [The following is a more detailed description of the improvement.] Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in order to prevent rainwater from entering the information display screen 5, a sealing layer 13 is fixedly provided on the part of the support frame 1102 that contacts the inner wall of the groove 19 or the part that contacts the bottom of the groove 19.

[0042] Example 5

[0043] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as that of embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in: [The following is a more detailed description of the improvement.] Figure 4 As shown, the guiding component includes a photovoltaic module 9 for supplying power to the directional display screen 7, and the photovoltaic module 9 is fixedly disposed within the receiving space 16. How the photovoltaic module 9 supplies power to the directional display screen 7 is conventional prior art in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
