  The present invention relates to a traffic violation management system and a traffic violation management method for managing information related to traffic violations.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a vehicle recognition device that discriminates a vehicle, a driver, and the like using a captured image of the vehicle captured by an imaging device such as a camera has been proposed. Such a vehicle recognition device is considered to be effective for use in traffic violation control, accident response, criminal investigation (finding of vehicles used in crimes), and the like.
For example, in Patent Document 1, when a speed violation is detected, an image is used to read the license plate of the vehicle or identify the offender by face recognition, and the offense is automatically paid from the offender's prepaid card or credit card. The system which collects in is disclosed.

However, the conventional configuration has the following problems.
That is, in the system disclosed in Patent Document 1, violation detection and driver identification are automatically performed, so even if the traffic violation cannot actually be verified from the image, the violation fee is applicable. May be collected from
In order to prevent such unfair collection, it is currently necessary for police officers to check for violations one by one for each detected violation, and then charge for the violation.

  This work is performed for each violation even if the same person has made multiple violations, so it is not possible to collectively check multiple traffic violations made by the same person. Deteriorate.

The total amount calculation means calculates the total amount of violation charges associated with the person specified by the person specifying means. The display control means controls the display means so as to display the total amount of violation money for each person.

As a result, the police officer can easily grasp the total amount of violation money for each person. Therefore, it is possible to issue a bill with higher priority to a person who has a high violation fee, and the violation fee can be collected efficiently.
A traffic violation management system according to a fifth invention is the traffic violation management system according to the first invention, further comprising a document creating means. The document creation means creates a violation amount billing document for claiming a breach for each violation stored in the storage means. The storage means stores information relating to the violation amount creation document in association with the image of the violating vehicle, the information of the identified person, and the image used for the identification as information regarding the same violation.

Here, the document preparation means for preparing the document for claiming the infringement fee charged to the traffic violation party (driver, vehicle owner, passenger, etc.) detected in the traffic violation management system described above is further provided. I have. And the electronic data etc. of the created document are preserve | saved in the linked | related state with the said violation content, the image for violation specification, etc.
Thereby, it is possible to efficiently carry out the processing of claiming the breach for the subject (driver) corresponding to the violation content determined by the police officer or the like as the traffic violation.

A traffic violation management system according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the traffic violation management system according to the first aspect of the present invention, further comprising a photographing means and a violation detection means. The photographing means photographs the vehicle. The violation detection means detects a vehicle violation.

The traffic violation management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows with reference to FIGS.
<1. Overview of Traffic Violation Management System 100>
The traffic violation management system 100 according to the present embodiment includes traffic violations detected using a violation detection means 9 and a camera (an example of an imaging means) 10 installed at an intersection or a road, violation contents, a driver ( (Person) etc. are managed. For this reason, the traffic violation management system 100 is installed in, for example, a police station that controls traffic violations.

  In the police station, for cases where the traffic violation management system 100 detects the occurrence of a traffic violation, the police officer or the like determines whether the traffic violation is subject to crackdown while checking the image extracted according to the procedure described later. I do. In other words, the traffic violation management system 100 is used as a system for supporting police officers and the like so that they can efficiently control traffic violations. When actually used, police officers etc. use a PC connected to the traffic violation management system 100 to check the PC display screen one by one using a mouse or keyboard, and control is performed. Is called.

Moreover, the camera 10 which supplies an image with respect to the traffic violation management system 100 is installed in the predetermined position in an intersection, as shown to Fig.1 (a).
The camera 10 captures an image including an installed road and a vehicle that travels on the road. And the camera 10 transmits the imaged image with respect to the image acquisition means 112 of the traffic violation management system 100 mentioned later.

  For example, in order to identify traffic violations and persons using the images acquired by the camera 10, the camera 10 is installed at the front of the vehicle moving in an intersection and at a position where a driver, a passenger, etc. can shoot. . As the installation position, for example, as shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, it may be installed on a column (reverse U-shaped, L-shaped) 102 or the like provided exclusively for the camera 10. It may be attached to existing equipment such as traffic lights, street lights, pedestrian bridges, signs, etc.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), one camera 10 is installed in each lane of the three lanes at the intersection. For this reason, each camera 10 images from the front a vehicle traveling in each lane, a vehicle traveling across the lane, and the like. Furthermore, each camera 10 is disposed at a position along the center line of each lane, as shown in FIG. In addition, the image imaged using the camera 10 is not limited to the front image of the vehicle passing through the intersection, and may be an image on the back or side. Moreover, you may image | photograph the vehicle which drive | works a some lane using one camera 10. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, when a traffic violation is detected by the violation detection means 9, an image taken by the camera 10 is transmitted to the traffic violation management system 100 of the present embodiment. One or a plurality of images are transmitted to the traffic violation management system 100 according to the violation content. Note that, when transmitting, for example, an optimal one may be extracted and transmitted based on the object (object, person) included in the image, the clarity of the image, or the like.

Also, violations detected by the violation detection means 9 shown in FIG. 2 include overspeed, signal ignorance, traffic prohibition violation, traffic classification violation, overtaking prohibition violation, designated place temporary suspension, neglected parking violation, traffic zone violation, etc. Etc.
The violation detection means 9 can have a radar that detects the speed from the frequency of the radio wave reflected by the vehicle by radiating the radio wave to the vehicle, a coil embedded in the ground, or the like in order to detect an excessive speed. The violation detection means 9 compares the speed measured by the radar and the coil with the legal speed, and when the speed is exceeded, information on the violation content (including information on the excess speed and date / time) is transmitted to the traffic violation management system. To 100. Note that when the violation detection means 9 detects an overspeed, the camera 10 takes a picture, and the picture taken by the camera 10 is also transmitted to the traffic violation management system 100.

Alternatively, a speed violation may be detected by continuously shooting with the camera 10 without using a radar or a coil, and determining the speed of the vehicle from the number of frames in which the vehicle is captured. In this case, the violation detection means 9 can determine the speed of the vehicle from the image taken by the camera 10 and detect an overspeed violation in comparison with the legal speed set for each road where the camera 10 is installed.
Further, in the case of a signal ignorance violation, the violation detection means 9 determines whether the red signal is detected based on the traffic signal switching information stored in advance or the display of the red signal detected by the image processing of the image acquired by the camera 10. Detects the vehicle running at the time of the signal.

More specifically, for example, when an oncoming lane has a red signal in one image, an illegal vehicle that ignores the signal can be detected using an image in which the target vehicle is traveling in an intersection. The violation content detected by the violation detection unit 9 and the image captured by the camera 10 are transmitted to the traffic violation management system 100.
The violation detection unit 9 may include a sensor or the like that detects the vehicle according to the signal switching timing without detecting signal ignorance by image processing performed by the camera 10. That is, when a vehicle enters at the timing of a red light, signal neglect is detected, and information on the violation is transmitted to the traffic violation management system 100. Further, when sensing by the sensor, the camera 10 takes a picture and the image is transmitted to the traffic violation management system 100.

  In the case of a traffic prohibition violation, a traffic classification violation, an overtaking prohibition violation, a designated place temporary stop, etc., the violation detection means 9 can detect the violation from the camera image by using a camera capable of continuous shooting. That is, the violation detection means 9 can detect each traffic violation when the vehicle is shown in the image of the camera 10 at a place or time zone where traffic is prohibited, overtaking prohibited, or temporarily stopped.

When continuous shooting is performed with the camera 10, a large amount of images are transmitted from the camera 10 to the violation detection unit 9, so that it is expected that the processing load on the violation detection unit 9 increases. For this reason, for example, a means for extracting only an image including a vehicle and transmitting it to the violation detection means 9 may be provided between the camera 10 and the violation detection means 9.
Accordingly, even when continuous shooting is performed with the camera 10, when the violation is detected, only the image selected in advance by the violation detection unit 9 can be processed, thereby reducing the processing burden. can do.

In addition, a large amount of images transmitted from the camera 10 to the violation detection unit 9 are temporarily stored in the storage unit in the violation detection unit 9, and only the image necessary for specifying the violation content and the person is obtained from the image as the image acquisition unit. 112 may be transmitted. Here, the necessary images are, for example, all images taken within the time of red light. The image is further narrowed down by the verification determination means 12 and the person identification means 13 described later from the image taken within the time of the red signal.
<2. Configuration of the Traffic Violation Management System 100>
The traffic violation management system 100 of this embodiment detects a traffic violation by the camera 10 and the violation detection means 9, and specifies a vehicle and a violation person.

As shown in FIG. 2, the traffic violation management system 100 includes a violation information acquisition unit 11, a verification determination unit 12, a person identification unit 13, a violation bill request creation unit 14, a storage unit 15, and a display control unit. 16, a display unit 17, a violation amount determination unit 18, a total amount calculation unit 19, and a total amount storage unit 20.
The violation information acquisition unit 11 acquires violation information from the violation detection unit 9 and the camera 10. The violation information includes information regarding the violation content and an image when the violation is made.

  The violation information acquisition unit 11 includes a violation content acquisition unit 111 and an image acquisition unit 112. The violation content acquisition unit 111 acquires information on the violation content detected by the violation detection unit 9. The image acquisition unit 112 acquires an image captured by the camera 10 based on the violation content detected by the violation detection unit 9. Information on the violation content includes information such as the type of violation such as overspeed or neglect of signal, and the date and time of violation.

  Here, the type of violation is information (name of violation) specified from the acquired information (raw data) by various sensors such as radar, coil, etc. provided in the violation detection means 9 to what violation. Information on the content of the violation may not be limited to the type of violation. The violation content acquisition unit 111 may receive raw data obtained by various sensors of the violation detection unit 9 as information on the violation content, for example.

The violation information acquisition unit 11 transmits information regarding the captured image and the violation content to the verification determination unit 12 and the person identification unit 13.
Here, when the verification of traffic violation and the identification of a person are performed using images continuously captured by the camera 10, a large number of images by the camera 10 are not stored in the violation detection means 9 as described above, and all of the images are not stored. An image may be transmitted to the image acquisition unit 112, and all the images may be temporarily stored in the storage unit of the image acquisition unit 112. In this case, based on the violation content acquired by the violation content acquisition unit 111, the image acquisition unit 112 extracts an image necessary for verifying the violation and transmits it to the verification determination unit 12 and the person identification unit 13.

The verification determination unit 12 determines whether or not the violation can be verified from the appearance, content, and clarity of the image in which the violation is captured. The detailed processing contents when the verification determination unit 12 determines whether or not the violation can be verified will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.
The person specifying unit 13 uses the image received from the violation information acquiring unit 11 to extract an image that satisfies a condition necessary for verifying the person related to the traffic violation detected by the violation detecting unit 9.

Specifically, the person specifying means 13 extracts an image that can specify a person such as a driver of the offending vehicle. At the time of extracting an identifiable image, one or a plurality of optimal images are extracted based on the image appearance, contents, and clarity, as in the verification determination unit 12.
Here, in the present embodiment, the person related to the traffic violation includes the driver of the violating vehicle, the passenger, the owner (owner), the employer (company, etc.) of the driver of the violating vehicle, and the like.

Detailed processing contents when the person specifying means 13 specifies a person related to traffic violation will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.
The breach money determination means 18 determines the breach money based on the content of the traffic violation detected by the violation detection means 9. For example, in the case of an overspeed traffic violation in Japan and an overspeed of 20 to 24 km / h, the breach money determining means 18 refers to the Japanese law and determines the breach money (foul money) to be 15000 yen.

The non-compliance bill request creation means 14 includes the content of the traffic violation detected by the violation detection means 9, the personal information (driver, vehicle owner, etc.) specified by the person specifying means 13, and the non-compliance determination means 18. Based on the determined breach, create an invoice for the traffic breach (foul).
That is, the infringement fee bill preparation means 14 specifies the address to which the invoice is to be sent based on the specified person information, and the invoice in which the name of the person, the address, the contents of the infringement and the amount of the infringement money are entered. Create

The storage unit 15 uses the image used for the verification determination of the violation in the verification determination unit 12, the information of the specified person, the image used for specifying the person, the violation fee, and the information on the invoice as information on the same violation. Store it in association.
By this association, the content of traffic violations (ignoring traffic signals, overspeeding, entry crossing violations at the level crossing, mobile phone use, etc.) can be classified and displayed for each person, and traffic violations made by a single person can be displayed together (Figure). 8).

It should be noted that only images necessary for verification of traffic violation are transmitted to the storage unit 15 by the verification determination unit 12 and the person identification unit 13. For this reason, the storage means 15 does not store images that are not related to traffic violations, unclear images that are not suitable for verification of traffic violations, vehicles that violate, images that cannot identify a person, and the like.
The total amount calculation means 19 calculates the total amount of violation charges for a plurality of violations when a plurality of traffic violations are associated with the same person in the storage means 15.

  The total amount storage means 20 stores information on a person, the number of violations of the person, and the total amount of violations for the person. When a new violation is detected for a person already stored in the storage unit 15 and information on the new violation content is stored in the storage unit 15, the total amount calculation unit 19 Recalculate the total amount of breach for And the information of the total amount memorize | stored in the total amount memory | storage means 20 is updated with respect to the person.

The display control unit 16 controls the display unit 17 to display information on each violation stored in the storage unit 15 as one screen or a continuous screen for each person specified by the person specifying unit 13.
The display means 17 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The display mode on the display screen of the display unit 17 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.
<2-1. Proof determination means 12>
The verification determination unit 12 will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the verification determination unit 12 is based on image conditions that can be used for verification stored in the DB (database) 21 with respect to the image input from the image acquisition unit 112 of the violation information acquisition unit 11. To determine whether the detected violation content can be verified.
Image conditions that can be used for verification are stored in a verification condition storage unit 221 provided in a DB (database) 21.

  The image condition that can be used for verification means a condition that the image content as evidence must satisfy for each traffic violation. For example, a condition that an identifiable violating vehicle and a driver must be included in one image, or a combination of a plurality of images, identifiable violating vehicles and persons are identified in each image. For example, it must be included in a verifiable state. In addition, the conditions regarding this image should just be set based on the law prescribed | regulated in each country, and may differ for every country and every local government.

  The verification determination unit 12 compares the verification conditions stored in the DB 21 with the image received from the violation information acquisition unit 11 and determines whether the violation content detected by the violation detection unit 9 can be verified. If the verification determination unit 12 determines that the traffic violation can be verified, the verification image P1 suitable for verification as a traffic violation from the plurality of images received from the violation information acquisition unit 11 (FIG. 4 and the like). Extraction).

Then, the verification determination unit 12 outputs the verification image P1 and information on the violation content to the storage unit 15. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the verification image P1. FIG. 4 shows a verification image P <b> 1 that is determined to be capable of verifying a traffic violation that ignores the signal. FIG. 4 shows an image in which the vehicle has entered the intersection despite the red light.
Note that the output from the verification determination unit 12 to the storage unit 15 is preferably performed after the person identification unit 13 determines that the person can be identified. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the useless data from being output to the storage unit 15 and stored when the person specifying unit 13 cannot specify the data.
<2-2. Person specifying means 13>
The person specifying means 13 will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the person specifying unit 13 verifies a person related to the offending vehicle from the image received from the violation information acquiring unit 11 with reference to the DB 23.
The DB 23 stores information on conditions (including image conditions that can be used for verification) for verifying a person (driver, owner, user (company, etc.)) related to the violating vehicle that has committed the traffic violation. Yes.

The DB 23 includes a verification condition storage unit 230, a license information storage unit 231, and an automobile registration number storage unit 232.
The verification condition storage unit 230 stores image conditions that can be used for verification. The license information storage unit 231 and the automobile registration number storage unit 232 have person information. Specifically, the license information storage unit 231 stores license information (license number, person photo, license expiration date, person address, and the like). The car registration number storage unit 232 stores information related to the car registration number (number plate number, owner information, car model name, etc.).

  Here, it is conceivable that the conditions for verifying the person related to the violating vehicle match, for example, the face of the driver, passenger, etc. included in the image with the face photograph registered in the license. In addition, the vehicle number detected from the image and the information (vehicle verification etc.) registered in advance at the time of vehicle purchase etc. are collated to identify the owner of the violating vehicle, the user (company), etc. Conceivable. In this case, the DB 23 only needs to store information such as the vehicle number and the owner of the vehicle.

This condition only needs to be set based on a law or the like prescribed in each country or each local government. In other words, if it is a country that controls the driver, it suffices if conditions for specifying the driver are set, and if it is a country that controls the vehicle owner, the owner is specified. It suffices if conditions are set.
The image condition that can be used for specifying a person may be, for example, that the driver's face in the image is clear and can be sufficiently matched with the face photo of the license. In addition, it is conceivable that the vehicle number of the violating vehicle in the image is clear and sufficiently readable. Note that the conditions relating to the image need only be set based on the laws and the like prescribed in each country, and the clarity of the image, the number of images, and the like may be different for each country or local government.

The person specifying means 13 collates information for specifying the person stored in the DB 23 with the image received from the image acquisition means 112, and names of the driver, owner, etc. of the violating vehicle included in the image. Identify. If it is determined that the person can be specified, the person specifying images P2 and P3 most suitable for the verification as the traffic violation are extracted.
Then, the person specifying means 13 outputs the person specifying image P2 and the like and information (name, company name, etc.) specifying the person to the storage means 15. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the person specifying image P2 and the person specifying image P3. These P2 and P3 are images for specifying a person at the time of traffic violation of ignoring signals shown in FIG. In the person specifying image P2, the number of the license plate can be recognized, and the owner of the vehicle can be specified. Further, in the person specifying image P3, the driver's face can be recognized, so that the driver can be specified by collating with the face photo of the driver's license.

The output from the person specifying unit 13 to the storage unit 15 is preferably performed after the verification determining unit 12 determines that the traffic violation can be verified. Alternatively, the processing in the person identification unit 13 may be started after it is determined that the traffic violation can be verified in the verification determination unit 12 so that the processing in the person identification unit 13 is not wasted.
<2-3. Information stored in storage means 15>
The storage means 15 includes information on the same violation, such as the image used for the verification determination of violation in the verification determination means 12, the information on the specified person, the image used for specifying the person, the violation fee, and the invoice. Are stored in association with each other.

  Here, the traffic violation control target is the control target only when both the content of the traffic violation and the target person can be verified. Therefore, even when the violation determination unit 12 can identify the violation content, if the person identification unit 13 cannot identify the driver or the owner of the violating vehicle, the verification image output from the verification determination unit 12 P1 (see FIG. 4 and the like) and the like are deleted from the storage means 15.

  In this case, in addition to deleting the image data output from the verification determination unit 12 from the storage unit 15, the verification image P1 or the like may not be output from the verification determination unit 12. That is, the image data and the like are output from the verification determination unit 12 and the person specification unit 13 to the storage unit 15 only when the violation contents can be verified and the person specified by both the verification determination unit 12 and the person specification unit 13. That's fine.

As a result, only information and images that can be used for verification of traffic violation control are extracted, and the necessary minimum data is stored in the storage means 15. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the capacity of the storage unit 15 from increasing more than necessary, and it is possible to avoid seeing useless images or the like that cannot be used by a police officer for verification at a police station or the like.
In addition, when a police officer controls a traffic violation at a police station, etc., if there is any doubt about the verification using the violation content or images extracted by this system, it shall be determined as a traffic violation. Rather, the image or information associated with the violation is moved to a specific storage location. Alternatively, as images that cannot be verified, such images and information may be deleted from the storage means 15 by an operation of a police officer or the like.
<3. Operation of traffic violation management system>
<3-1. Operations from detection of violation to memory>
The operation of the traffic violation management system of this embodiment (an example of a traffic violation management method) will be described below. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the traffic violation management system of this embodiment. In step S <b> 11, when a violation of vehicle traffic is detected by the violation detection unit 9, an image of the violating vehicle photographed by the camera 10 is acquired by the image acquisition unit 112 in step S <b> 12 (an example of an image acquisition step). At this time, information on the detected violation content is also acquired by the violation content acquisition unit 111.

Next, in step S13 (an example of a determination step), it is determined whether the violation detected by the violation detection unit 9 can be proved from the image acquired by the verification determination unit 12. If it is determined that the verification is impossible, the operation ends. An example in which it is determined that the verification is impossible is a case where no traffic light is shown in the image shown in FIG.
If it is determined that the violation can be verified, then the driver or the owner (also referred to as the owner) from the image acquired by the person specifying means 13 in step S14 (an example of the person specifying step) It is determined whether identification is possible. If it is determined that the person cannot be identified, the operation ends. The case where the person cannot be specified includes a case where the face of the person is hidden or a case where the face is unclear.

If it is determined that the person can be specified and the driver or the owner is specified, in step S15, the breach money determination means 18 determines the price of the breach money from the contents of the violation. The breach money determination means 18 determines the price of the breach money based on the rules of each country.
Next, in step S16, the invoice is created by the infringement money bill preparation means 14 using the price of the infringement money, the violation content detected by the violation detection means 9, and the information of the specified person.

Next, in step S17 (an example of a storage step), the storage unit 15 relates to the image used for the violation determination in the verification determination unit 12, the personal information, the image used for specifying the person, the price of the violation money, and the violation claim document. Information (text file data, etc.) is stored in association with information on the same violation.
In the example described above, the verification image P1, the person specifying images P2 and P3 shown in FIG. 4, the personal information such as the address of the specified person, the license number, and the price of the breach of money are ignored, including the date. Information related to violations is stored in association.
