Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a traffic system capable of verifying the integrity of traffic enforcement for an object traveling on a road equipped with a variable traffic sign, and a method for providing verification information in the system. Background Technology

[0002] Variable traffic guidance systems are being used on roads to provide variable traffic information suitable for the situation by assessing road traffic conditions, weather conditions, etc., in order to enable drivers to drive safely in dangerous traffic situations or to improve traffic efficiency in congested traffic situations.

[0003] In addition, the display section of a variable traffic guidance system that displays various traffic information is typically implemented as an LED traffic sign.

[0004] For example, when the number of vehicles increases, the shoulder on the highway is operated as a drivable lane, and LED traffic signs display an indication that passage is possible (for example, "↓") to inform drivers that the variable lane is accessible.

[0005] As another example, if it is determined that the speed limit needs to be lowered from the preset speed limit due to weather conditions, the LED traffic sign displays a changed speed limit to inform drivers of the variable speed limit.

[0006] As such, in variable traffic guidance situations, it may become an issue whether the enforcement criteria information displayed on LED traffic signs matches the enforcement criteria information operating in enforcement cameras.

[0007] For example, if the speed limit displayed on the LED traffic sign is 50 km / h but the speed camera is enforcing the speed limit at 30 km / h, it can be a problem.

[0008] In addition, if enforcement criteria information is not displayed on the LED traffic sign, if it is not functioning during certain times, or if there is an error in some modules of the LED traffic sign, damage to the driver may occur.

[0009] In such variable traffic guidance situations, it must be possible to prove that the "enforcement criteria information displayed on LED traffic signs" and the "enforcement criteria information set on enforcement cameras" are enforcing the same standards, and a system capable of resolving this is required. The problem to be solved

[0010] The objective of the present invention is to propose a traffic system capable of verifying whether enforcement standard information displayed on a variable traffic sign matches enforcement standard information set in a traffic information acquisition unit, and a method for providing verification information. means of solving the problem

[0011] A traffic system according to one embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described purpose comprises: a display information acquisition unit that acquires enforcement standard information displayed from a captured image of variable enforcement standard information; a traffic information acquisition unit that acquires an image and traffic information of an object traveling on the road, wherein variable enforcement standard information is set; information on whether the enforcement standard information acquired by the display information acquisition unit matches the enforcement standard information set by the traffic information acquisition unit; and an enforcement verification information providing unit that generates enforcement verification information matching the object image and the traffic information.

[0012] In addition, a method for providing verification information according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described purpose comprises the steps of: obtaining enforcement standard information displayed from a captured image of variable enforcement standard information; obtaining an image of an object traveling on the road and traffic information from a traffic information acquisition unit in which enforcement standard information that varies according to a predetermined condition is set; and generating enforcement verification information that matches the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit with the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit, and matching the object image and the traffic information.

[0013] In addition, a computer-readable recording medium according to one embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described purpose may have a program recorded thereon for executing the above-described verification information providing method.

[0014] In addition, a program stored on a computer-readable recording medium according to one embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above-described purpose may have program code recorded thereon for executing the above-described verification information providing method. Effects of the invention

[0015] According to the present invention, the integrity of the enforcement result can be verified by providing information to an object traveling on a road where a variable traffic sign is installed, to verify whether normal enforcement standard information was displayed at the time of enforcement.

[0016] In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to detect physical errors (faults) in variable traffic signs and respond quickly.

[0017] In addition, according to the present invention, information regarding objects that have violated enforcement criteria information and information regarding objects that have not violated them can be classified and provided.

[0018] In addition, according to the present invention, a traffic system can provide various traffic-related services by collecting traffic information, traffic law violation information, and crime prevention information. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0020] The following description merely illustrates the principles of the invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art may invent various devices that embody the principles of the invention and are included within the concept and scope of the invention, even if they are not explicitly described or illustrated in this specification. Furthermore, all conditional terms and embodiments listed in this specification are, in principle, explicitly intended only for the purpose of enabling an understanding of the concept of the invention and should be understood as not being limited to the embodiments and conditions specifically listed elsewhere.

[0021] The aforementioned objectives, features, and advantages will become clearer through the following detailed description in conjunction with the attached drawings, and accordingly, a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains will be able to easily implement the technical concept of the invention.

[0022] In addition, in describing the invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of known technology related to the invention may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention, such detailed description will be omitted. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the implementation of the traffic enforcement verification system of the present invention in a child protection zone (or school zone) where a variable speed limit is operated. Referring to FIG. 1(a) and (b), a traffic sign (21) indicating a variable speed limit section and a traffic sign (22) indicating a child protection zone are installed on the road at the entry point of the child protection zone, passing through a road section with a speed limit of 50 km / h.

[0024] In addition, at a point in a child protection zone where a traffic information acquisition unit (130) is installed, a display unit (110) may be installed to display enforcement criteria information in a variable manner (for example, displaying "enforcement speed limit 30 km / h" as in FIG. 1(a) or "enforcement speed limit 50 km / h" as in FIG. 1(b) in a variable manner according to time conditions). Here, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may include a shooting unit (not shown) that photographs a road containing an object and a processor that analyzes the captured image to detect the object and generates an object image and traffic information. One implementation example of such a traffic information acquisition unit (130) may be implemented as a traffic enforcement camera, and the traffic enforcement camera may generate traffic information such as the driving speed of an object from the image captured by the shooting unit.

[0025] At this time, the display unit (110) that displays variable enforcement standard information can be captured by the display information acquisition unit (120) (for example, a traffic sign monitoring camera), and the display information acquisition unit (120) can acquire enforcement standard information by analyzing the captured image of the display unit (110) (i.e., the captured image of the variable enforcement standard information displayed on the display unit (110)).

[0026] And, an object (10), such as a vehicle, can be photographed by a traffic information acquisition unit (130) (e.g., a traffic enforcement camera), and the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can acquire images and traffic information (e.g., speed, whether it is traveling, direction of travel, signal status, driving lane, driving direction, stopping location, whether it is stopped, driving trajectory, etc.) of an object traveling on a road based on the set enforcement standard information, and based on the set enforcement standard information.

[0027] To define the terms used below more clearly, "enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit" refers to enforcement standard information recognized by analyzing a captured image of variable enforcement standard information displayed on the display unit (110) so that the driver, etc., can visually confirm the enforcement standard.

[0028] And, "enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit" means enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130) to detect objects violating enforcement standards.

[0030] Meanwhile, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can determine whether the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) matches the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130). Additionally, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can generate enforcement verification information by matching the information on whether the information matches according to the determination, the captured image of the display unit (110), the object image captured by the traffic information acquisition unit (130), and the traffic information generated according to the analysis of the image.

[0031] Here, enforcement verification information can be used to verify whether normal enforcement standard information was displayed at the time of enforcement to an object traveling on a road where a variable traffic sign is installed.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a traffic system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the traffic system (100) may include all or part of a display unit (110), a display information acquisition unit (120), a traffic information acquisition unit (130), a control verification information provision unit (140), and an operation unit (150).

[0034] The display unit (110) can display enforcement standard information. Here, the display unit (110) may be a variable traffic sign that displays enforcement standard information that varies according to predetermined conditions. For example, the display unit (110) may be implemented as an LED variable traffic sign.

[0035] Here, enforcement refers to enforcing traffic violations by objects such as vehicles and pedestrians traveling on the road, and targets for vehicle enforcement include speeding, signal violations, variable lane violations, parking / stopping violations, stop line violations, helmet wearing violations, seatbelt violations, right turn prohibition violations, one-way traffic violations, left turn prohibition violations, tailgating violations, stopping violations, etc., while targets for pedestrian enforcement may include jaywalking violations, pedestrian signal violations, etc.

[0036] Enforcement criteria information refers to information that serves as the standard for judging traffic violations. For example, if the target of enforcement is a speeding violation, the enforcement criteria information may be the speed limit; if the target is a variable lane violation, the enforcement criteria information may refer to "↓" or "x" information indicating whether driving in the lane is possible.

[0037] Here, the examples of targets for enforcement are not limited to those above, and the targets may vary depending on the types of traffic enforcement targets in each country.

[0038] The method of changing the display information of the display unit (110) can be implemented in various ways.

[0039] For example, enforcement criteria information displayed on the display unit (110) can be changed by manual input by an operator, by detecting enforcement criteria information from a table previously stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the display unit (110), or by receiving enforcement criteria information from a traffic information acquisition unit (130) equipped with a communication function with the operation unit (150).

[0040] For example, if an operator inputs enforcement criteria information through an information input device (not shown) included in the display unit (110), the display unit (110) can change the existing display information to the enforcement criteria information manually input by the operator and display it.

[0041] As another example, the display unit (110) can detect enforcement standard information that matches a predetermined condition from a table that matches enforcement standard information with a predetermined condition (e.g., a table that matches time and speed limit in the case of a child protection zone) that is stored in a storage unit (not shown) included in the display unit (110), and can automatically change and display the detected enforcement standard information.

[0042] As another example, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may be equipped with a communication module to receive enforcement standard information from the operation unit (150) and may be mutually connected with the display unit (110). In this case, the display unit (110) may receive enforcement standard information from the traffic information acquisition unit (130) in real time and automatically change and display the received enforcement standard information.

[0043] As another example, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may analyze in real time whether a predetermined condition for display change is met (e.g., analyze road environment information such as rain, snow, or fog on the road in real time) to determine whether a change to the enforcement standard information is necessary, and if it is determined that a change is necessary, provide the enforcement standard information to the display unit (110). In this case, the display unit (110) may receive the enforcement standard information in real time from the traffic information acquisition unit (130) and automatically change and display it using the received enforcement standard information.

[0044] As another example, the display unit (110) can receive and display enforcement criteria information in real time from the operation unit (150) using a communication module included in the display unit (110).

[0045] Meanwhile, identification information may be displayed or attached to one area of ​​the display unit (110). At this time, the identification information may include at least one of the identifier of the display unit (110) and the current time.

[0047] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a display unit and a display information acquisition unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3(a), the display unit (110) can display a speed limit, and the display information acquisition unit (120) is implemented as a camera that photographs the display unit (110) and can generate a captured image of the display unit (110).

[0048] The speed limit displayed on the display unit (110) may be selectively changed between the “speed limit of 30 km / h” (31) and the “speed limit of 60 km / h” (32) of FIG. 3(b) according to predetermined conditions. Additionally, the display unit (110) may include an identifier (33) of the display unit (110) such as “A-25”, wherein the identifier (33) may be implemented in a form displayed in the display area of ​​the display unit (110) or attached to the display unit (110).

[0049] Meanwhile, although FIG. 3 describes the display unit (110) as an example of displaying a speed limit, other display units (110) may be implemented to display various enforcement criteria information such as whether passage is permitted and the direction of passage.

[0050] Meanwhile, the display information acquisition unit (120) can acquire enforcement standard information by analyzing the captured image of the variable enforcement standard information displayed on the display unit (110).

[0052] Specifically, the display information acquisition unit (120) can obtain enforcement standard information from the captured image of the display unit (110) by analyzing the captured image of the display unit (110) to detect characters, numbers, symbols, shapes, and colors included in the image and performing an algorithm to recognize them.

[0053] The operation of the display information acquisition unit (120) is explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. First, the display information acquisition unit (120) can acquire a captured image of the display unit (110) (S11).

[0054] In addition, enforcement criteria information can be obtained from a captured image through the recognition of at least one of the characters, numbers, symbols, shapes, and colors included in the captured image of the display unit (S12). For example, if the display unit (110) is a variable traffic guide sign indicating a speed limit, the display information acquisition unit (120) can acquire a "captured image of a traffic sign indicating that the speed limit is 60 km / h" as in FIG. 5(a) or acquire a "captured image (41) including identification information (47) on a traffic sign indicating that the speed limit is 30 km / h" as in FIG. 5(b). In addition, the display information acquisition unit (120) can recognize the speed limit "60" by analyzing the captured image of the traffic sign (42) and recognize the speed limit "30" and "A-25" by analyzing the captured image of the traffic sign (41), and can obtain enforcement criteria information and identification information according to the above recognition.

[0055] Meanwhile, if the display unit (110) is a variable traffic guide sign indicating a variable lane, the display information acquisition unit (120) can acquire a "traffic sign image (43) indicating that it is a drivable lane" as in FIG. 5(c) or acquire a "traffic sign image (44) indicating that it is a non-drivable lane." Additionally, the display information acquisition unit (120) can analyze the traffic sign image (43) to recognize "↓," "allowed," or "green color information (45)" indicating that it is a drivable lane, or analyze the traffic sign image (44) to recognize "X," "impossible," or "red color information (46)" indicating that it is a non-drivable lane, and can acquire enforcement criteria information based on the above recognition.

[0056] Meanwhile, the display information acquisition unit (120) can acquire identification information through recognition from a captured image when identification information is formed in one area of ​​the display unit (110) as in the example of FIG. 5(b) described above (S13:YES), and can generate data that matches the control standard information acquired by the display information acquisition unit (120) with the identification information (S16).

[0057] However, if the display information acquisition unit (120) does not form identification information in one area of ​​the display unit (110) (S13: NO), it detects identification information already assigned to the display unit (110) (S15), and can generate data by matching the control standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) with the identification information already assigned to the display unit (110) (S16). Here, the identification information already assigned may utilize a unique number assigned to the display information acquisition unit (120), a location value of the display unit (110), etc.

[0058] In this way, the display information acquisition unit (120) can classify the control standard information obtained from the captured images of numerous display units (110) using the identification information of the display units (110).

[0060] Meanwhile, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can acquire images and traffic information of an object traveling on the road, and set control criteria information that varies according to predetermined conditions for the object traveling on the road.

[0061] Specifically, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can analyze an image to acquire traffic information including at least one of the object's speed, signal status, driving lane, driving direction, stopping position, whether it is stopped, and the vehicle's driving trajectory.

[0062] The operation of the traffic information acquisition unit (130) will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

[0063] First, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can set enforcement standard information (S21). Here, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can receive enforcement standard information from the operation unit (150), or acquire it from a pre-stored table that matches the enforcement standard information with a predetermined condition, or determine the enforcement standard information in real time by self-analyzing in real time whether it corresponds to a predetermined condition at the traffic information acquisition unit.

[0064] And, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can detect objects traveling on the road according to the set enforcement criteria information (S22).

[0065] And, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can generate an image of the detected object and traffic information (S23).

[0066] For example, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) generates object images and traffic information of all passing objects, and the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can classify object images and traffic information for objects that violate the set enforcement criteria information and object images and traffic information for objects that do not violate the set enforcement criteria information, respectively.

[0067] According to another implementation example, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may generate object images and traffic information only for objects that violate the set enforcement criteria information among the objects traveling on the road.

[0068] And, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) determines whether the enforcement standard information acquired from the display information acquisition unit (120) is changed (S24), and if it is not changed (S24: NO), it can continuously detect objects passing in violation of the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130).

[0069] However, if the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) changes (S24:YES), the detection of an object passing in violation of the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may be suspended for a predetermined period from the time when the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) changes (S25). Here, the predetermined period may be implemented as a range of a predetermined time before and a predetermined time after the time when the enforcement standard information changes.

[0070] According to the present invention, at the moment when enforcement criteria information displayed through the display unit (110) changes, enforcement errors caused by synchronization errors between enforcement criteria information guided to the driver of a vehicle in motion and a traffic information acquisition unit (130) that performs the role of an enforcement device can be resolved.

[0071] Meanwhile, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can generate a road image and can generate traffic information including at least one of a vehicle image generated by analyzing the road image, the number of vehicles, the driving speed of the vehicles, the driving direction of the vehicles, the driving lane of the vehicles, the distance traveled by the vehicles, the traffic volume of the vehicles, the waiting length of the vehicles, the occupancy rate of the vehicles, a pedestrian image, the number of pedestrians, the walking speed, or the walking direction.

[0072] Additionally, traffic information may include object identification information including at least one of the type of vehicle, number of the vehicle, color of the vehicle, size of the vehicle, or appearance of the pedestrian.

[0073] Additionally, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can acquire crime prevention information, and the crime prevention information may include at least one of living crime prevention information or traffic crime prevention information.

[0074] Additionally, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can detect objects and / or events using object images and / or traffic information. Objects may include vehicles, people (e.g., vehicle occupants, pedestrians, etc.) and animals. An 'event' may refer to a dangerous situation occurring on the road that needs to be notified to vehicles or pedestrians. For example, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can detect the type of event, such as a vehicle stopping, a vehicle accident, driving in the wrong direction, the appearance of pedestrians / wild animals, falling objects, roadkill, a landslide, fog, or a pothole, and the location where the event occurred. Information indicating the type of event or the location of the event may be referred to as 'event information'.

[0075] Additionally, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can detect events through data acquired from at least one sensor in addition to traffic information. For example, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can acquire event information based on data received from at least one of an acceleration sensor for detecting impact on the road, a positioning sensor for detecting landslides on a slope adjacent to the road, a temperature / humidity sensor for detecting weather changes such as temperature / humidity, a motion detection sensor for detecting roadkill, or an acoustic sensor.

[0077] Meanwhile, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can determine whether the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) matches the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130), and generate enforcement verification information by matching the information on whether the judgment result matches, the captured image of the display unit (110), the object image of the traffic information acquisition unit (130), and the traffic information. The operation of the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 7.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 7, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can detect a preset allowable range according to the type of enforcement (S31).

[0079] For example, to prepare for the possibility of errors in measuring vehicle speed, the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can set 77 km / h as the enforcement standard information by setting a margin value of +7 km / h, which is a predetermined allowable range, even if the speed limit for the road is 70 km / h.

[0080] As another example, enforcement of variable lanes and bus-only lanes can be determined by the degree of lane encroachment by a vehicle, and the traffic information acquisition unit (130) can set enforcement standard information by setting a predetermined allowable range of lane encroachment information as a margin value.

[0081] Here, the margin value may be implemented to be automatically set according to a predetermined standard or to be set according to manual input by an operator.

[0083] Accordingly, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can determine whether there is a match by comparing the value obtained from the enforcement standard information (120) with the value obtained from the enforcement standard information obtained from the enforcement standard information obtained from the traffic information acquisition unit (130) after removing the detected allowable range (S32).

[0084] However, if a pre-set allowable range is not set according to the type of enforcement, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) may be implemented to perform the next step without steps S31 and S32.

[0085] And, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can detect the captured image of the display unit and the object image and the traffic information of the traffic information acquisition unit (130) at a time close to each other or at the same time within a predetermined time (S33).

[0086] Specifically, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can classify the data as inaccurate if the interval between the time captured by the traffic information acquisition unit (130) as a vehicle passes the enforcement point and the time captured by the video of the display unit (110) is longer than a predetermined time. Additionally, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can use the video of the video of the display unit (110) captured at a predetermined interval that is close to the time of traffic information acquisition by the traffic information acquisition unit (130) as verification data.

[0087] In addition, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can determine whether the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) matches the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130), and generate enforcement verification information that matches the determined matching information, the object image of the traffic information acquisition unit (130), and the traffic information (S34). According to one embodiment, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can generate enforcement verification information that further includes the captured image of the display unit (110).

[0088] In this case, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can generate enforcement verification information only for objects that pass in violation of the enforcement criteria information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130).

[0090] The enforcement verification information providing unit (140) may detect physical failures of the display unit (110) (e.g., electronic display module failure, electronic display malfunction, electronic display non-operation, etc.) or communication failures of the display unit (110), the operation unit (150), and the traffic information acquisition unit (130) by analyzing the captured video of the display unit (110) or the video.

[0092] Meanwhile, the operation unit (150) receives various information (e.g., traffic information, security information, event information, etc.) generated according to the data processing of the traffic information acquisition unit (130), and can generate meaningful data by analyzing the received information.

[0093] More specifically, the operation unit (150) can analyze at least one of the traffic information, security information, and event information generated by the traffic information acquisition unit (130).

[0094] Meanwhile, the operation unit (150) can perform control functions based on the analysis results. Specifically, the operation unit (150) can provide a control interface that displays the analysis results described above.

[0095] Here, the operation unit (150) can be implemented as an operation server device.

[0097] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of enforcement verification information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can generate enforcement verification information including a captured image (51) of the display unit (110), an object image (52) obtained from the traffic information acquisition unit (130), enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120), information on whether the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130) matches (53), and traffic information (54).

[0098] Here, with respect to the object image (52), the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can generate an image by overlaying the enforcement reference information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130) at the time of acquiring traffic information such as “Restriction: 60” and the traffic information at the time of acquiring traffic information such as “Driving: 70” onto the object image (52).

[0099] Additionally, the information (53) regarding whether the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) matches the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may include enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120), such as “Display speed limit: 60,” and enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130), such as “Enforcement speed limit: 60.” Additionally, the information (53) regarding whether the enforcement standard information obtained from the display information acquisition unit (120) matches the enforcement standard information set in the traffic information acquisition unit (130) may include information indicating whether they match, such as “match” or “mismatch.”

[0100] In addition, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) can generate traffic information (54) such as “vehicle driving speed: 70” on the object image (52) separately from the overlay image.

[0101] Additionally, although not illustrated in FIG. 8, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) may generate enforcement verification information that further includes identification information. Here, the identification information may be implemented in a form that is included in the captured image (51), or in a form that provides the identification information as separate characters, numbers, symbols, shapes, colors, etc.

[0102] Meanwhile, the enforcement verification information providing unit (140) may provide a user interface for displaying enforcement verification information.
