[0047] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0048] To facilitate understanding and explanation of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model, the background technology of the embodiments of this utility model will be described first below.
[0049] Traditional vehicle guidance methods are only applicable to bus stops with fixed parking spaces, directing vehicles to those spaces. However, current bus stops often have multiple parking space configurations, each with different layout options. For example, one configuration might include two 24-meter parking spaces, while another might have three 16-meter parking spaces. The parking space at the bus stop may then adapt to these changes. In this scenario, effectively guiding buses to stop is a crucial technical problem that needs to be solved.
[0050] Based on this, this utility model provides a bus stop parking space indication system, which visualizes the dynamic allocation scheme of parking space through parking space guidance and indication equipment, thereby guiding buses entering the station.
[0051] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates a bus stop parking space indication system provided by this utility model.
[0052] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this is a schematic diagram of a bus stop parking space indication system provided by an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the system may include:
[0053] The parking guidance indicator 101, the vehicle information acquisition sensor 102, and the controller 103 are included.
[0054] The parking guidance device 101 is installed in the bus stop area 104, which includes multiple parking spaces. The corresponding position 105 of each parking space is equipped with the parking guidance device 101.
[0055] The vehicle information collection sensor 102 is used to collect vehicle information of buses that are about to enter the bus station.
[0056] The controller 103 is used to determine the target berth of the target bus based on the vehicle information of the bus, and send a first control signal to the berth guidance indicator device corresponding to the target berth; the target bus is any one of the buses, and the target berth is any one of the berths.
[0057] The berth guidance indicator 101 is used to display a prompt for the target berth after receiving the first control signal.
[0058] This utility model embodiment can be applied to any type of multi-berth bus stop, especially bus stops serving multiple vehicle types. To improve the utilization efficiency of bus stops, one or more berth configuration schemes may be set up. In each berth configuration scheme, the bus stop's stopping area includes multiple berths. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, in one parking space arrangement scheme, the bus stop area includes parking space 1 and parking space 2; in another scheme, the bus stop area includes parking space 1', parking space 2', and parking space 3'. For each parking space included in different schemes, a parking guidance indicator is installed at the corresponding location of each parking space; that is, each parking space has a corresponding parking guidance indicator to indicate its location. The corresponding location for each parking space is generally at the front of that parking space.
[0059] Vehicle information collection sensors can be installed at preset locations inside or outside bus stops to collect vehicle information of buses entering the stop. This information may include vehicle type, route information, and vehicle speed. The preset locations outside the bus stop can be upstream of the stop (e.g., a preset distance from the bus stop entrance) or downstream of the stop (e.g., a preset distance from the bus stop exit). It is understood that one or more vehicle information collection sensors can be installed, for example, at both upstream and downstream locations of the bus stop.
[0060] In one possible implementation, the vehicle information acquisition sensor may include a vision sensor. The vision sensor is used to acquire images of buses approaching the bus stop and to identify vehicle information from these images. For example, the vision sensor can be a camera or other visual acquisition device that captures images of buses and obtains relevant vehicle information through image recognition or other methods.
[0061] In one possible implementation, the vehicle information acquisition sensor includes a roadside unit. The roadside unit acquires vehicle information uploaded by the onboard unit carried by the bus approaching the bus stop. In a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system, buses can be equipped with onboard units, which can then upload relevant vehicle information to the roadside unit, enabling the roadside unit to obtain this information.
[0062] After acquiring vehicle information from buses, the vehicle information acquisition sensors can transmit this information to the controller. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the transmission method between the devices and the controller; transmission can be performed via either wired or wireless communication. The controller can determine the target parking space for any target bus based on the bus information; the target parking space is any parking space within the bus stop. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific implementation method of the controller determining the target parking space; the controller can implement this function using existing methods for determining target parking spaces.
[0063] After determining the target berth for the target bus, the controller sends a first control signal to the corresponding berth guidance device. This first control signal triggers the berth guidance device to operate. In some implementations, the first control signal may also carry the route information of the target bus, enabling the berth guidance device to display the route information.
[0064] The berth guidance and indication equipment then displays a prompt for the target berth after receiving the first control signal.
[0065] In practical applications, berth guidance and indication equipment may include suspended berth guidance and indication equipment and / or buried berth guidance and indication equipment.
[0066] In one possible implementation, the berth guidance and indication equipment includes a suspended berth guidance and indication equipment, which is suspended above the front end of each berth.
[0067] In practical applications, the suspended berth guidance device can be hung in a position visible to the driver, such as directly above or to the side of the berth's front end. "Suspended" can be understood as fixed above the front end of the berth in any way. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific hanging position or the specific method of hanging or fixing of the suspended berth guidance device above the front end of the berth.
[0068] A suspended berth guidance and indication device is used to display a prompt for the target berth after receiving a first control signal.
[0069] In one possible implementation, the suspended berth guidance indicator device includes suspended berth guidance indicator lights and / or suspended berth guidance information screens.
[0070] The suspended berth guidance indicator light is used to indicate the target berth by illuminating it or by displaying the target color after receiving the first control signal.
[0071] The suspended parking space guidance information screen is used to indicate the target parking space by lighting it up, displaying the target color, or displaying the route information of the target bus after receiving the first control signal.
[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the suspended berth guidance indicator can be a suspended berth guidance indicator light. The suspended berth guidance indicator light can be an indicator light using an LED (light-emitting diode) as its light source. In one implementation, the suspended berth guidance indicator light can be a single-color indicator light, which indicates the target berth by turning on and off. When the suspended berth guidance indicator light is lit, it indicates that the target bus is being guided to the target berth corresponding to that indicator light. In another implementation, the suspended berth guidance indicator light can be a multi-color indicator light, which indicates the target berth by displaying different colors. For example, when the suspended berth guidance indicator light displays green, it indicates that the target bus is being guided to the target berth corresponding to that indicator light.
[0073] The suspended berth guidance device can be a suspended berth guidance screen. The suspended berth guidance screen can be an LED screen. In one implementation, the suspended berth guidance screen can indicate the target berth by turning on and off. When the suspended berth guidance screen is lit, it indicates that the target bus is being guided to the berth corresponding to that screen. In another implementation, the suspended berth guidance indicator light can indicate the target berth by displaying different colors. For example, when the suspended berth guidance screen displays green, it indicates that the target bus is being guided to the berth corresponding to that screen. In yet another implementation, when the first control signal includes route information, the suspended berth guidance indicator light can indicate the target berth by displaying the route information of the target bus.
[0074] In addition, the suspended parking space guidance system can include both suspended parking space guidance indicator lights and suspended parking space guidance information screens. Thus, one parking space can correspond to both suspended parking space guidance indicator lights and suspended parking space guidance information screens. The suspended parking space guidance indicator lights show which parking space the target bus should enter, while the suspended parking space guidance information screens display the route information of that target bus.
[0075] In one possible implementation, the berth guidance and indication equipment includes an underground berth guidance and indication equipment, with the underground berth guidance and indication equipment embedded in the ground at the front end of each berth.
[0076] The underground berth guidance and indication device is used to indicate the target berth by illuminating light or displaying a target color after receiving a first control signal.
[0077] In this embodiment of the invention, the underground parking guidance device can be a light-emitting device such as a luminous floor tile. In one implementation, the underground parking guidance device can be a single-color indicator light, which illuminates and de-illuminates the target parking space. When the underground parking guidance device is illuminated, it indicates that the target bus is being guided to the parking space corresponding to that device. In another implementation, the underground parking guidance device can be a multi-color indicator light, which displays different colors to indicate the target parking space. For example, when the underground parking guidance device displays green, it indicates that the target bus is being guided to the parking space corresponding to that suspended parking guidance indicator light.
[0078] Understandably, in practical applications, either suspended or buried berth guidance and indication devices can be used, or they can be used simultaneously. When used simultaneously, a suspended berth guidance and indication device is suspended above the front of each berth, while a buried berth guidance and indication device is embedded in the ground in front of each berth. The specific implementation method can be selected according to the actual situation of the bus stop.
[0079] The parking guidance and signage equipment meets the standards and is compatible with the driver's visual characteristics, clearly guiding buses to parking spaces.
[0080] Based on the above embodiments, in one possible implementation, the bus stop parking space indication system provided by this utility model embodiment may further include:
[0081] Passenger guidance and information devices are installed in the passenger waiting area of bus stops.
[0082] Passenger guidance and information display equipment is used to display berth information for the target bus.
[0083] Passenger guidance and information devices can also be installed in the passenger waiting area of bus stops to indicate the target parking space for the bus that is about to arrive at the station. For example, the passenger guidance and information device may show that bus route 1 is stopped at parking space 1, so that passengers can wait in the waiting area corresponding to the target parking space and board the bus in an orderly manner.
[0084] In one possible implementation, the bus stop parking space indication system provided in this embodiment of the present invention may further include:
[0085] Light sensor; the light sensor is installed inside the bus stop.
[0086] A light sensor is used to collect light information.
[0087] The controller is also used to adjust the display brightness of the berth guidance indicator when displaying prompts for the target berth, based on light information.
[0088] In this embodiment of the invention, a light sensor detects the ambient light information of the station environment, and a controller adjusts the display brightness of the berth guidance indicator based on this information. For example, when the light is strong, the controller can increase the display brightness of the berth guidance indicator; when the light is weak, the controller can decrease the display brightness. This allows the berth guidance indicator to adapt to different lighting environments, enabling drivers to see the guidance more clearly.
[0089] In one possible implementation, the bus stop parking space indication system provided in this embodiment of the present invention may further include:
[0090] Temperature and humidity sensor; the temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the bus station.
[0091] Temperature and humidity sensors are used to collect temperature and humidity information.
[0092] The controller is also used to generate environmental alarm information based on temperature and humidity data.
[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, a temperature and humidity sensor can detect the temperature and humidity information of the station environment, and the controller can generate an environmental alarm when the temperature and humidity exceed a threshold. This alerts relevant staff to check if the bus stop berth indicator system is malfunctioning when abnormal temperature and humidity conditions occur.
[0094] In addition, the parking guidance indicator can update the display status in a timely manner when the bus leaves the station or enters the parking space.
[0095] In one possible implementation, the vehicle information acquisition sensor is also used to collect departure information of the target bus.
[0096] The controller is used to send a second control signal to the berth guidance indicator equipment corresponding to the target berth based on the departure information of the target bus.
[0097] The berth guidance indicator is used to stop displaying prompts for the target berth after receiving a second control signal.
[0098] The vehicle information acquisition sensor can also collect departure information of the target bus and send it to the controller. Upon receiving this departure information, the controller sends a second control signal to the berth guidance indicator corresponding to the target berth of the target bus. This second control signal can trigger the berth guidance indicator to stop operating. Therefore, the berth guidance indicator stops operating after receiving the second control signal, thus ceasing the display of information about the target berth.
[0099] In addition, the vehicle information acquisition sensor can also collect the stopping information of the target bus entering the target parking space and send it to the controller. After receiving the stopping information, the controller sends a third control signal to the parking guidance indicator device corresponding to the target parking space of the target bus. The third control signal can trigger the parking guidance indicator device to change its display mode. Then, after the third control signal, the parking guidance indicator device will display the target parking space in another display mode. For example, when the suspended parking guidance indicator device and / or the underground parking guidance indicator device displays red, it means that the target bus has entered the target parking space corresponding to the parking guidance indicator device.
[0100] The bus stop parking space indication system provided in this embodiment includes a parking space guidance indicator, a vehicle information acquisition sensor, and a controller. The bus stop area includes multiple parking spaces, and a parking space guidance indicator is installed at the corresponding location of each parking space. The vehicle information acquisition sensor collects vehicle information of buses entering the bus stop. The controller determines the target parking space for any bus based on its vehicle information and sends a first control signal to the parking space guidance indicator corresponding to the target parking space. The parking space guidance indicator then displays a prompt for the target parking space. Therefore, when a bus enters the stop, the desired parking space can be visually indicated in real time, guiding the bus to more efficiently enter the appropriate parking space and improving the utilization efficiency of the bus stop.
[0101] The following examples illustrate different implementations of the bus stop parking space indication system provided in this utility model embodiment.
[0102] In the first implementation, see Figure 2 The diagram shows a suspended berth indication system. This system includes: a vision sensor, a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a controller, suspended berth guidance indicator lights, a suspended berth guidance information screen, and passenger guidance and indication equipment. Descriptions of each device can be found in the descriptions of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0103] In addition, the suspended parking space indication system may also include a cloud management platform, where the controller uploads relevant vehicle information and control information to the cloud management platform for storage and management.
[0104] In practical applications, bus stations can also display route information screens to show relevant route information for buses that stop at that station.
[0105] See Figure 3 The diagram illustrates an application scenario for this suspended parking space guidance system. In this scenario, visual sensors (cameras) are installed at the entrance and exit of the bus stop to collect vehicle information and departure information of buses. The controller generates a dynamic parking space allocation scheme, determining the target parking space for the desired bus. The dynamic parking space allocation scheme is visualized through a suspended parking space guidance information screen (LED parking space guidance screen), guiding buses entering the station. When a target bus is assigned a parking space but has not yet stopped, the corresponding parking space guidance information screen displays green; when the target bus has stopped, the corresponding parking space guidance information screen displays red; when the target bus leaves the parking space, the corresponding parking space guidance information screen turns off.
[0106] In the second implementation, see Figure 4 The diagram illustrates another suspended parking space indication system. This system includes: a vision sensor, a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a roadside unit, a controller, suspended parking space guidance indicator lights, a suspended parking space guidance information screen, and passenger guidance and indication equipment. The roadside unit communicates with the onboard unit. Descriptions of each device can be found in the descriptions of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0107] In addition, the suspended parking space indication system may also include a cloud management platform, where the controller uploads relevant vehicle information and control information to the cloud management platform for storage and management.
[0108] In practical applications, bus stations can also display route information screens to show relevant route information for buses that stop at that station.
[0109] See Figure 5 The diagram illustrates an application scenario for this suspended parking space guidance system. In this scenario, a roadside unit is installed at the entrance of the bus stop to communicate with the onboard unit and collect information such as bus departure information; a visual sensor (camera) is installed at the exit to collect vehicle information such as bus details. The controller generates a dynamic parking space allocation scheme, determining the target parking space for the desired bus. The dynamic allocation scheme is visualized through a suspended parking space guidance information screen (LED parking space guidance screen), guiding incoming buses. When a target bus is assigned a parking space but has not yet stopped, the corresponding parking space guidance information screen displays green; when the target bus has stopped, the screen displays red; and when the target bus leaves the parking space, the screen turns off.
[0110] In the third implementation, see Figure 6 The diagram shows a schematic of an underground berth indication system. This system includes: a visual sensor, a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a controller, an underground berth guidance indicator, and a passenger guidance indicator. Descriptions of each device can be found in the descriptions of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0111] In addition, the suspended parking space indication system may also include a cloud management platform, where the controller uploads relevant vehicle information and control information to the cloud management platform for storage and management.
[0112] In practical applications, bus stations can also display route information screens to show relevant route information for buses that stop at that station.
[0113] See Figure 7The diagram illustrates an application scenario for this underground parking space guidance system. In this scenario, visual sensors (cameras) are installed at the entrance and exit of the bus stop to collect vehicle information and departure information of buses. The controller generates a dynamic parking space allocation scheme, determining the target parking space for the desired bus. The dynamic allocation scheme is visualized through underground parking space guidance indicators (parking space guide lights), guiding buses entering the station. When a target bus is assigned a parking space but has not yet stopped, the corresponding parking space guide light displays green; when the target bus has stopped, the corresponding parking space guide light displays red; when the target bus leaves the parking space, the corresponding parking space guide light turns off.
[0114] In the fourth implementation, see Figure 8 The diagram illustrates another type of underground parking space indication system. This system includes: a visual sensor, a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a roadside unit, a controller, an underground parking space guidance indicator, and a passenger guidance indicator. The roadside unit communicates with the onboard unit. Descriptions of each device can be found in the descriptions of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0115] In addition, the suspended parking space indication system may also include a cloud management platform, where the controller uploads relevant vehicle information and control information to the cloud management platform for storage and management.
[0116] In practical applications, bus stations can also display route information screens to show relevant route information for buses that stop at that station.
[0117] See Figure 9 The diagram illustrates an application scenario for this underground parking space guidance system. In this scenario, a roadside unit is installed at the entrance of the bus stop to communicate with the onboard unit and collect information such as bus departure information; a visual sensor (camera) is installed at the exit to collect vehicle information such as bus details. The controller generates a dynamic parking space allocation scheme, determining the target parking space for the desired bus. The dynamic allocation scheme is visualized through underground parking space guidance indicators (parking guide lights), guiding incoming buses. When a target bus is assigned a parking space but has not yet stopped, the corresponding parking guide light displays green; when the target bus has stopped, the corresponding parking guide light displays red; when the target bus leaves the parking space, the corresponding parking guide light turns off.
