Abstract

The present invention relates to an all-illuminated signage system which lights up in different colors according to the traffic communication state. In particular, the all-illuminated signage system of the present invention is designed according to the traffic communication state so that the traffic communication state for each direction of the road is displayed on an existing sign. Equipped with lights that illuminate in different colors, the driver can simultaneously identify the direction of the road and the traffic state indicated on the sign, and can clearly recognize signs even at night or in rainy days when the clock is not clear. Compared to the signs, there is an effect that can be easily and easily installed signs that can increase the driver's use at a lower cost.

Description

Electronic Sign System {An Electric Sign System}

The present invention relates to an all-illuminated signage system, and more particularly, to an all-illuminated signage system for allowing a driver to simultaneously understand the direction and the traffic state of a road.

In general, many roads are equipped with signs indicating the name of the road and the direction of the road according to the name so that the driver can determine the direction of the road. The driver may use the signs to determine the direction of the road leading to the destination he / she wants to go to, and may select the road he wants to go by referring to the plurality of roads indicated on the signs.

However, the sign indicating the road as described above is simply displayed only the direction of the road, there is a problem that the driver can not grasp the traffic state of each road that changes in real time. In addition, although the road on the sign is displayed using a special paint, there is a problem in that the driver cannot recognize the direction of the road shown on the sign because it is not visible to the driver at night or in the rain.

In order to solve the above problems, an electric light sign indicating a traffic communication state for each direction of a road is installed and operated in some regions together with the sign.

However, the electroluminescent signs have a problem that the cost of manufacturing and installation is higher than that of conventional signs, and the use effect is small when compared to the initial investment cost of the electroluminescent signs.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, the purpose is to enable the driver to grasp the direction of the road and the traffic traffic state of the road for each direction to avoid the traffic congested area to drive the sign To provide a system.

According to a feature of the all-illuminated signage system according to the present invention for solving the above problems, the lighting unit is mounted on the display part of the direction of the particular road in the sign and is lit in different colors according to the traffic state of the particular road, And a control unit for controlling the lighting unit according to the traffic communication state.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 1, the all-illuminated sign system according to the present invention includes a lighting unit 4 mounted on the sign 10, and a control unit 20 for controlling the lighting unit 4.

In particular, the all-illuminated signage system is mounted on a plurality of arrows (1, 2, 3) indicating the direction of the road in the sign 10, as shown in FIG. Control unit for controlling the lighting unit 4 and the lighting unit 4 to be lighted in a different color according to the traffic communication state of the road to be different, according to the traffic communication state ( 20), the sign 10 is generally supported by a support 11 installed on the ground so that the sign 10 can be located at an appropriate height.

Here, the lighting unit 4 is composed of a plurality of bulbs or LED elements arranged in accordance with a predetermined form on the arrows (1, 2, 3). In the case of the lighting unit 4 according to the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a plurality of light bulbs or LED elements arranged in a grid form in an area where the arrows 1, 2, and 3 are displayed on the sign 10. It consists of.

In addition, the light bulb or the LED element of the lighting unit 4 is lit green when the traffic state of the road in the direction indicated by the arrow (1, 2, 3) in which the lighting unit 4 is installed is lit, the delay state Lights up in yellow in the case of red, and lights up in the red in congestion.

In addition, the control unit 20 includes a communication unit 21 connected to the lighting unit 4 by wire / wireless so that the plurality of lighting units 4 mounted on the sign 10 can be controlled, and the communication unit And a control signal input means 22 for inputting a control signal according to the traffic communication state to the 21 to light up the lighting unit 4 in a different color.

Here, the communication unit 21 may be configured through an Internet dedicated line or a public telephone network so that the lighting unit 4 and the control signal input unit 22 are connected by wire.

In addition, the all-illuminated sign system according to the present invention can be installed in connection with the current traffic information management system that is currently built or planned to be used in parallel with the current traffic information delivery system consisting of CCTV or driver reports. To this end, the communication unit is composed of a dedicated network of the traffic management system, the control signal is input in accordance with the traffic state information of the traffic management system.

Figure 3 is a side view showing the side of the sign installed in accordance with the illuminated sign system of the present invention.

The all-illuminated signage system of the present invention configured as described above is equipped with a lighting unit which lights up in different colors according to the traffic communication state so that the traffic communication state for each direction of the road is displayed on the existing sign. At the same time, it is possible to understand the direction and communication status at the same time, and it is possible to clearly recognize the signs even at night or in rainy days when the clock is not clear, and to facilitate the signs that the driver's use effect can be increased at a lower cost than the conventional electronic signs. It is effective to install easily.
