Description

Hazardous Materials Transport Vehicle Control System

[0001] This application relates to a control system for a vehicle transporting hazardous materials.

[0002] In Korea, there are approximately 70 accidents annually involving vehicles such as trailers and tank trucks transporting hazardous materials such as hydrogen gas and ammonia. These accidents are mainly caused by a lack of sufficient information about hazardous materials and response information, and when an accident occurs, there is a problem of secondary damage spreading.

[0003] To prevent accidents involving hazardous materials transport vehicles and enable rapid response, control systems have traditionally been operated primarily through GPS integration with the control room, transmitting information such as vehicle location, arrival and departure times, and driving speed. However, this existing approach carries the risk that GPS communication modules can become ignition sources due to impact or malfunction. Furthermore, simply tracking the location of a transport vehicle is insufficient for accident prevention.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need to establish a real-time control system that can overcome existing shortcomings and improve the safety of hazardous material transport vehicles.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control system for a hazardous material transport vehicle.

[0011] In addition, the IoT module unit further includes a vibration detection unit that detects vibration according to the road surface condition on which the vehicle is driving and generates vibration information, and the control server can provide a transport accident risk notification when it is determined that the hazardous material transport vehicle that has been put into transport has stopped for a predetermined standard time or longer based on the vehicle's driving schedule information, the location information, and the vibration information.

[0012] In addition, the IoT module unit further includes a removal detection unit that detects whether the hazardous material storage container or the trailer supporting the hazardous material storage container has been removed from the vehicle, and the control server can provide a transportation accident risk notification if it is determined that the hazardous material storage container or the trailer has been removed at a location other than a predetermined designated location based on the location information and the detection result of the removal detection unit.

[0013] In addition, each of the communication unit, the position measurement unit, the vibration detection unit, the removal detection unit, and the battery unit may be designed to have an explosion-proof, dust-proof, and waterproof safety design suitable for a Class 1 explosion-hazardous location and hydrogen gas.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present application, by collecting and monitoring various information such as location information, pressure information, temperature information, vibration information, and information on whether or not a hazardous material transport vehicle is removed, it is possible to check the status of the transport vehicle, determine and predict risk, and take rapid measures against hazardous accidents.

[0017] In addition, according to the embodiment of the present application, by applying explosion-proof, dust-proof and waterproof safety design suitable for transporting hazardous materials to the IoT module unit, pressure sensor unit and temperature sensor unit, the control function can be performed without being damaged by accidents or dangerous situations of the hazardous material transport vehicle.

In addition, the IoT module (110) can generate vibration information of the hazardous material transport vehicle and information on whether a hazardous material storage container and / or trailer has been removed from the hazardous material transport vehicle and transmit the same to the control server (200).

[0052] In an embodiment, the communication unit (111) can transmit pressure information and temperature information received from the pressure sensing unit (120) and / or the temperature sensing unit (130) to the control server (200).

[0053] The position measurement unit (112) can calculate the position of the hazardous material transport vehicle based on the GPS signal received from the communication unit (111) and generate position information of the hazardous material transport vehicle based on the calculation result. To this end, the position measurement unit (112) can include at least one processor (or MCU (Micro Controller Unit)) and / or memory. The position calculation process based on the GPS signal can be applied with a conventional method known in the art.

[0055] The removal detection unit (114) can detect whether a hazardous material storage container is removed from a trailer or whether a trailer supporting a hazardous material storage container is removed from a tractor, and generate detection information. For example, the removal detection unit (114) can be implemented using various sensors known in the art, such as a recognition sensor (infrared sensor, light sensor, etc.) that recognizes proximity or contact with a hazardous material storage container or trailer, a magnetic field sensor that can detect whether or not to be removed based on a change in a magnetic field, and an illuminance sensor that can detect whether or not to be removed based on light blocking or brightness.

[0059] At least one of the pressure sensing unit (120) and the temperature sensing unit (130) is connected to the IoT module unit (110) via wire or wirelessly, and when the pressure sensing unit (120) and / or the temperature sensing unit (130) transmit the generated pressure information and temperature information to the IoT module unit (110), the IoT module unit (110) can transmit this together with the location information to the control server (200).

[0060] Meanwhile, depending on the embodiment, the pressure sensing unit (120) and / or the temperature sensing unit (130) may be configured to transmit the generated pressure information directly to the control server (200) without going through the IoT module unit (110). To this end, the pressure sensing unit (120) and / or the temperature sensing unit (130) may further be equipped with a transmitter for transmitting data.

[0061] The control server (200) can monitor the location of a hazardous material transport vehicle and / or the hazardous state of a hazardous material storage container based on the location information, vibration information, information on whether or not to remove the vehicle, pressure information, and temperature information received from the control information transmission unit (100).

[0062] The control server (200) may include a communication unit (210), an input unit (220), a memory (230), and a processor (240).

[0063] The communication unit (210) can transmit and receive data (e.g., location information of the hazardous material transport vehicle, vibration information, information on whether or not to remove, pressure information, temperature information, etc.) for providing a control service of the hazardous material transport vehicle. The communication unit (210) may include a wired or wireless communication unit. When the communication unit (210) includes a wired communication unit, the communication unit (210) may include one or more components that enable communication through a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Value Added Network (VAN), a Mobile Radio Communication Network, a satellite communication network, and a combination thereof.

The processor (240) may refer to a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or a dedicated processor on which methods according to the technical concepts of the present disclosure are performed.

[0068] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may receive location information, pressure information, and temperature information through at least one of an IoT module unit, a pressure sensing unit, and a temperature sensing unit to monitor the location of the vehicle and the dangerous state of the hazardous material storage container.

[0069] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may provide a notification related to the location of the vehicle and the dangerous state of the hazardous material storage container to a terminal of a hazardous material transport vehicle operator or a terminal of a manager (monitor, safety manager) based on the location information of the hazardous material transport vehicle and the dangerous state of the hazardous material storage container.

[0070] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may provide a transport accident risk notification when it is determined that a transport vehicle for transporting hazardous materials has been stopped for a predetermined reference time or longer based on the vehicle's driving schedule information, location information, and vibration information.

[0071] That is, if a hazardous material transport vehicle does not move on a road surface such as a highway for a certain period of time based on GPS location information and also does not detect vibration, the processor (240) determines that a transport accident has occurred in the hazardous material transport vehicle, and displays a notification regarding this on a separate display device or transmits it to an administrator terminal, thereby allowing an administrator or the like to quickly take action on the accident or prevent the accident from occurring.

[0072] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may provide a transport accident risk notification if it is determined that a hazardous material storage container or trailer has been removed from a location other than a predetermined designated location based on location information and detection results of a removal detection unit.

[0073] That is, since there is a risk of a major accident occurring if a hazardous material storage container or trailer is removed from a location other than a designated location (such as a highway), such as a hazardous material charging location (such as a hydrogen charging station), by providing a notification of this, it is possible to enable managers to take action and prevent accidents.

[0074] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may determine whether there is an emergency eruption of a hazardous material based on location information, pressure information, and / or temperature information, and may provide a transportation accident risk alarm if an eruption occurs at a point other than a designated location.

[0075] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may provide information on the periodic operational status of the hazardous material transport vehicle based on the location information of the hazardous material transport vehicle.

[0076] In an embodiment, the processor (240) may map and display the location of at least one hazardous material transport vehicle on an electronic map based on location information of the hazardous material transport vehicle.
