Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent transportation, and in particular to a ride-hailing vehicle passenger pick-up guidance device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of ride-hailing services in large integrated transportation hubs, ride-hailing pick-up areas have become densely populated areas for vehicles and passengers. During peak hours, the shortage of ride-hailing pick-up spaces, coupled with a lack of effective information guidance and management, leads to inefficiencies such as repeated communication and mutual waiting between ride-hailing drivers and passengers, which in turn causes traffic congestion, driver-passenger conflicts, and even traffic accidents.

[0003] While some existing technologies have achieved macro-level dispatching of ride-hailing vehicles through intelligent means, their focus is concentrated on vehicle dispatching, with insufficient real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and information guidance for specific passenger pick-up spaces. Some management methods, lacking clear parking space information guidance and status management, are prone to problems such as disorderly parking and order conflicts. Against this backdrop, developing an efficient ride-hailing passenger pick-up space guidance device is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a ride-hailing vehicle passenger pick-up guidance device, which aims to solve the problem of difficulty in guiding drivers and passengers based on the monitoring information of passenger pick-up spaces, resulting in poor passenger pick-up efficiency and thus affecting traffic.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a ride-hailing vehicle passenger pick-up parking space guidance device, installed in the ride-hailing pick-up area for monitoring a selected parking space. Its features include: a device body, a base, a parking space identification sign, an edge AI processor, an internal network switch, a license plate recognition camera, a parking space monitoring camera, a geomagnetic vehicle sensor, a millimeter-wave vehicle sensor, a driver information display screen, and a passenger information display screen. The device body is fixed to the ground by the base; the parking space identification sign is located on the top of the device body to identify the parking space; the edge AI processor is located inside the device body; the license plate recognition camera is located on the first side of the device body facing the parking space, at a first position below the driver information display screen, for capturing the license plate number of vehicles entering or leaving the current parking space and sending the captured license plate number to the edge AI processor for recognition; the parking space monitoring camera is located on the device body... The device is positioned on the first side of the main body, at a second position above the driver information display screen, for capturing a panoramic image of the parking space and sending the panoramic image to the edge AI processor. A geomagnetic vehicle sensor is positioned at a predetermined location on the parking space floor to notify the edge AI processor when a vehicle enters or leaves the current parking space. A millimeter-wave vehicle sensor is positioned below the parking space monitoring camera to notify the edge AI processor when a vehicle enters or leaves the current parking space. The driver information display screen is positioned on the first side of the main body to display the order information for the current parking space to the driver. A passenger information display screen is positioned on the second side of the main body facing the passenger to display the order information for the current parking space to the passenger. The edge AI processor, license plate recognition camera, parking space monitoring camera, geomagnetic vehicle sensor, millimeter-wave vehicle sensor, driver information display screen, and passenger information display screen establish a network communication connection through an internal network switch.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes: an alarm button and intercom device, a wireless communication module and a power module; the alarm button and intercom device are located on the side of the main body of the device; the wireless communication module is located on the top outer side of the main body of the device; and the power module is located inside the main body of the device.

[0007] Furthermore, the alarm button, intercom device, wireless communication module, and power module establish a network communication connection with the internal network switch.

[0008] Furthermore, the base includes: a flange mounted on the base for connection to the main body of the device; and a flange mounted on the bottom of the base for fixing to a prefabricated foundation on the ground by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower part of the base is provided with a wire threading hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the parking space sign adopts a lightbox structure, with parking space numbers set on both the first side facing the parking space and the second side facing the passenger.

[0011] Furthermore, the internal network switch is equipped with eight network switches.

[0012] Furthermore, the current parking space order information includes one or more of the following: parking space order number, license plate number, passenger identification information, and waiting time.

[0014] This invention provides a ride-hailing vehicle passenger pick-up guidance device, comprising a main body, a base, a parking space sign, an edge AI processor, an internal network switch, a license plate recognition camera, a parking space monitoring camera, a geomagnetic vehicle sensor, a millimeter-wave vehicle sensor, a driver information display screen, and a passenger information display screen. All components are connected via network communication. This invention guides drivers and passengers by displaying parking space order information on the driver and passenger information display screens, respectively facing the parking space and passenger directions. This solves the problem of existing devices being unable to display guidance information on both the driver's and passenger's ends, leading to communication difficulties and poor passenger pick-up efficiency.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the top parking space sign visually displays information such as the parking space number, helping drivers and passengers quickly locate the target parking space. Image data collected by the license plate recognition camera and parking space monitoring camera, as well as vehicle entry and exit information sensed by the geomagnetic and millimeter-wave vehicle sensors, are all transmitted to the edge AI processor. The edge AI processor uses existing mature algorithms to quickly process and analyze the data, ensuring that the parking space status is updated in real time and avoiding incorrect parking or wrong pick-up due to information lag. The edge AI processor establishes connections with various components through an internal network switch, enabling efficient collaboration between hardware and providing accurate and timely guidance information for both drivers and passengers, significantly improving the matching efficiency and convenience of ride-hailing during passenger pick-up.
