Vehicle diversion system

Abstract

This invention discloses a vehicle diversion system for detecting congested lanes and guiding following vehicles to uncongested lanes. The system is installed on a multi-lane road and includes a control module, multiple detection modules, and multiple directional modules. Through the hardware design of the detection and directional modules corresponding to the multiple lanes, when light emitted by a transmitter at a specific location crosses the lane and is successfully received by the receiver, it indicates that the traffic flow has not reached the predetermined length. Conversely, if the light is blocked by a vehicle and cannot be received by the receiver, it indicates that there is more traffic than expected in the lane. In this case, the control module will activate the directional module of another lane to guide subsequent vehicles to divert to other, less congested lanes.

Claims

1. A vehicle diversion system, disposed on a passage having a plurality of lanes (2), the vehicle diversion system (1) comprising at least: a control module (11) disposed beside the lane (2); A plurality of detection modules (12) are respectively disposed on the lanes (2) and electrically connected to the control module (11). Each detection module (12) includes a transmitter (121) and a receiver (122), wherein the transmitter (121) transmits a first signal toward the receiver (122), and the receiver (122) transmits a second signal to the control module (11) after receiving the first signal; and a plurality of pointing modules (13) are respectively disposed on the lanes (2) and electrically connected to the control module (11), wherein when the receiver (122) on one lane (2) does not transmit the second signal to the control module (11), the control module (11) transmits a third signal to the pointing module (13) on another lane (2) to drive the pointing module (13) to emit a signal.

2. The vehicle diversion system as described in claim 1, wherein the control module (11) is either a microprocessor or a central processing unit.

3. The vehicle diversion system as described in claim 1, wherein the transmitter (121) and the receiver (122) are respectively a light transmitter and a light receiver, and the first signal is a light beam, which is emitted by the transmitter (121) and received by the receiver (122).

4. The vehicle diversion system as described in claim 3, wherein the receiver (122) is connected to the control module (11) via a wireless communication protocol.

5. The vehicle diversion system as described in claim 4, wherein the wireless communication protocol is one of Bluetooth wireless communication module, Wi-Fi wireless communication module, WiMAX wireless communication module, Zigbee wireless communication module, fourth-generation mobile communication technology or fifth-generation mobile communication technology.

6. The vehicle diversion system as described in claim 4, wherein the control module (11) is communicatively connected to the pointing module (13) via the wireless communication protocol.

7. The vehicle diversion system as described in claim 1, wherein the pointing module (13) is further mounted above the lane (2) by a support frame (14).

8. The vehicle diversion system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pointing module (13) further includes a light emitter (131), which, upon receiving a third signal from the control module (11), drives the light emitter (131) to emit a light.

9. The vehicle diversion system as claimed in claim 8, wherein a light-transmitting indicator panel (1311) is further provided outside the emitter (131), and the light emitted by the emitter (131) passes only through the light-transmitting portion of the indicator panel (1311).
