[0007] Encryption traffic instruction generation, check and push: encrypted traffic instructions are generated by license plate number + command + current coordinates + command rod hardware signature, and are displayed using a two-dimensional code, displayed on the display screen of the traffic rod, and uploaded to the traffic management center for communication for checking and feedback to the operation department, and pushed by short-range network wireless communication LAN. The sending and verification of traffic command instructions are divided into the following three ways:

[0008] Vehicle automatic checking: the vehicle can check with the traffic management center after scanning the corresponding two-dimensional code, and convert the traffic signal into the traffic management center communication regulation. At the same time, the vehicle and infrastructure communication signal (V2I) is adopted to transmit the signal to the corresponding vehicle through the wireless LAN communication module, and these information is displayed to the driver through the instrument panel, helping the driver and the unmanned driving system to make more accurate driving decisions and improve driving safety and traffic efficiency.

[0009] Traffic management center push: the traffic management center can actively push the traffic signal to the corresponding vehicle according to the situation to avoid using in bad environments such as heavy fog and rain.
