Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road lighting technology, and in particular to an intelligent lighting guidance system for road toll stations. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, due to the large number of vehicles using toll roads, traffic congestion is common. Traditional toll stations typically only have a simple indicator light in each toll lane, displaying different colors and patterns to indicate whether the corresponding toll lane is passable. However, the aforementioned lighting indicator method is relatively simple and cannot be effectively linked with the lane controller and toll control computer of the toll lane, resulting in poor vehicle guidance. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide an intelligent light guidance system for road toll stations to improve the guidance effect for vehicles.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent light guidance system for road toll stations, comprising:
[0005] Guidance light modules are installed one-to-one with the toll lanes of the road toll station;
[0006] The display mode analysis module is externally connected to the lane controller and toll collection industrial control computer of each toll lane. It has a built-in status code data table reflecting the correspondence between the lane opening / closing status, vehicle payment status, and the corresponding guide light module's light status codes. This table is used to receive lane opening / closing status data from the lane controller and vehicle payment status data from the toll collection industrial control computer in real time, and to determine the corresponding toll lane's light status code based on the lane opening / closing status and vehicle payment status in conjunction with the status code data table.
[0007] The lane light controller is connected to each of the aforementioned guidance light modules and the display mode analysis module. It has a built-in display data table that reflects the correspondence between the light status code of each toll lane and the light display mode of each guidance light module. It is used to determine the light display mode of the guidance light module corresponding to the corresponding toll lane based on the received light status code of the corresponding toll lane and the display data table, and to control the operation of the guidance light module corresponding to the corresponding toll lane based on the light display mode.
[0008] Furthermore, the guidance light module includes an entrance light strip corresponding to the vehicle entry section of the toll lane and an exit light strip corresponding to the vehicle exit section. The lane light controller is connected to the entrance light strip and exit light strip of each guidance light module through a synchronization control module. The synchronization control module controls the entrance light strip and exit light strip of the same guidance light module to display synchronously based on the light display method.
[0009] Furthermore, the intelligent lighting guidance system at the road toll station also includes a remote lighting management device for users to input commands to generate the status code data table and the display data table; the display mode analysis module is also communicatively connected to the remote lighting management device to receive the status code data table and the display data table sent by the remote lighting management device, and forwards the display data table to the lane lighting controller.
[0010] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned entrance light strips and exit light strips is composed of several LED colored lights connected in series.
[0011] Furthermore, the intelligent lighting guidance system at the road toll station also includes a pedestrian detector for detecting whether there are pedestrians in each toll lane and outputting a prohibition command when a pedestrian is detected; the lane lighting controller is also connected to the pedestrian detector to control the guidance light module of the corresponding toll lane to display a prohibition warning light in response to the prohibition command.
[0012] Furthermore, the pedestrian detector is a radar human detection device or an image-based human detection device.
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the present utility model embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: The present utility model embodiment sets up a guidance light module in each toll lane of the road toll station, and receives the lane opening and closing status sent by the lane controller and the vehicle payment status sent by the toll industrial control computer in real time through the display mode analysis module. Then, based on the lane opening and closing status and the vehicle payment status, the light status code of the toll lane is determined. Finally, the lane light controller determines the light display mode of the corresponding guidance light module based on the light status code of the toll lane and controls the operation of the guidance light module of the corresponding toll lane. This realizes the linkage and cooperation between the guidance light module, the lane controller and the toll industrial control computer, which is conducive to improving the guidance effect of vehicles. Attached Figure Description
[0014] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram of an optional embodiment of the intelligent lighting guidance system for road toll stations according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following illustrative embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Moreover, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, an optional embodiment of this utility model provides an intelligent light guidance system for road toll stations, comprising:
[0017] Guidance light modules 1 are installed one-to-one with the toll lanes of the road toll station;
[0018] The display mode analysis module 3 is externally connected to the lane controller A and the toll collection industrial control computer B for each toll lane. It has a built-in status code data table reflecting the correspondence between the lane opening / closing status, vehicle payment status, and the corresponding light status codes of the guidance light module 1 for each toll lane. This table is used to receive the lane opening / closing status from the lane controller A and the vehicle payment status from the toll collection industrial control computer B in real time, and to determine the corresponding light status code for the toll lane based on the lane opening / closing status and vehicle payment status in conjunction with the status code data table.
[0019] The lane light controller 5 is connected to each of the guidance light modules 1 and the display mode analysis module 3. It has a built-in display data table that reflects the correspondence between the light status code of each toll lane and the light display mode of each guidance light module 1. It is used to determine the light display mode of the guidance light module 1 corresponding to the corresponding toll lane based on the received light status code of the corresponding toll lane and the display data table, and to control the operation of the guidance light module 1 corresponding to the corresponding toll lane based on the light display mode.
[0020] This embodiment of the utility model installs a guidance light module 1 in each toll lane of a road toll station. The display mode analysis module 3 receives the lane opening / closing status from the lane controller A and the vehicle payment status from the toll control computer B in real time. Based on the lane opening / closing status and the vehicle payment status, the light status code of the toll lane is determined. Finally, the lane light controller 5 determines the light display mode of the corresponding guidance light module 1 based on the light status code of the toll lane and controls the operation of the guidance light module 1 of the corresponding toll lane. This realizes the linkage and cooperation between the guidance light module 1, the lane controller A, and the toll control computer B, which helps to improve the guidance effect for vehicles.
[0021] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the guidance light module 1 includes an entrance light strip 10 corresponding to the vehicle entry section of the toll lane and an exit light strip 12 corresponding to the vehicle exit section. The lane light controller 5 is connected to the entrance light strip 10 and exit light strip 12 of each guidance light module 1 through a synchronization control module 7. The synchronization control module 7 controls the entrance light strip 10 and exit light strip 12 of the same guidance light module 1 to display synchronously based on the light display method. In this embodiment, the guidance light module 1 includes entrance light strips 10 and exit light strips 12 separately located in the vehicle entry section and the vehicle exit section, which provides better vehicle guidance. Moreover, by setting the synchronization control module 7 to control the entrance light strip 10 and exit light strip 12 of each toll lane to display synchronously, it is ensured that the two guidance light strips 1 of the toll lane can display synchronously.
[0022] In practical implementation, it is understood that the vehicle entry section refers to the section between the entrance of the toll lane and the toll barrier, and the vehicle entry section refers to the section between the toll barrier and the exit of the toll lane. Furthermore, the implementation methods of the status code data table and the display data table can be flexibly set according to different road conditions and guidance methods. Moreover, the toll station can be either the entrance or exit of a road toll station. In one optional scheme, the status code data table is shown in the following table:
[0023]
[0024] The status code data table is shown in the following table:
[0025]
[0026] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent lighting guidance system at the road toll station also includes a remote lighting management device 8 for user input commands to generate the status code data table and the display data table; the display mode analysis module 3 is also communicatively connected to the remote lighting management device 8 to receive the status code data table and the display data table sent by the remote lighting management device 8, and forwards the display data table to the lane lighting controller 5. This embodiment also allows management personnel to flexibly set the corresponding status code data table and the display data table by setting the remote lighting management device 8, thereby setting different display strategies for the guidance light strip 1.
[0027] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, each of the entrance light strips 10 and the exit light strips 12 is composed of several LED colored lights 101 connected in series. In this embodiment, the use of several LED colored lights 101 connected in series to form corresponding light strips not only allows the LED colored lights 101 to display different colors to remind vehicles, but also allows each LED colored light 101 in the light strip to present different display effects (e.g., constant light, flashing light, or flowing light), resulting in a good guiding effect.
[0028] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent lighting guidance system at the road toll station also includes a pedestrian detector 9 for detecting whether there are pedestrians in each toll lane and outputting a prohibition command when a pedestrian is detected; the lane lighting controller 5 is also connected to the pedestrian detector 9 to control the guidance light module 1 of the corresponding toll lane to display a prohibition warning light in response to the prohibition command. In this embodiment, by setting up the pedestrian detector 9, when a pedestrian is crossing the toll lane, the pedestrian detector 9 can quickly detect the pedestrian and then output a prohibition command so that the lighting controller 5 can control the two guidance light modules 1 of the corresponding toll lane to display a prohibition warning light, reminding vehicles that it is currently prohibited to proceed, thereby improving safety.
[0029] In an optional embodiment of this invention, the pedestrian detector 9 is a radar-based human detection device or an image-based human detection device. In this embodiment, both radar-based and video image-based human detection devices can quickly and easily detect pedestrians within the lane, achieving high detection efficiency.
[0030] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
