The traffic signal controller (hereinafter referred to as signal machine) is used as an important device for controlling traffic signals at the intersection, and the product type is evolved in a fixed timing mode, a multi-period timing mode, an induction mode and a centralized coordination mode.
In order to further standardize the problems of setting, using and managing the road traffic signal lamps, the state at present develops standards and technical specifications such as 'road traffic signal lamp setting and installation specifications' (GB 14886-2016) and 'road traffic signal control machine' (GB 25280-2016). The standards and technical specifications mainly focus on the functional design of road traffic signal equipment, and specific requirements are not explicitly given on the aspect of electrical safety design, so that the installation requirements of equipment cases are continuously used in construction and maintenance, and the safety factor of design protection requirements is low. And the power utilization safety coefficient is continuously reduced due to the problems of cable aging and the like. In addition, the outfield system lacks reliable and effective power utilization protection equipment, and the power utilization safety is continuously and seriously threatened.
Specifically, for example, the document with publication number CN104167104A proposes a self-adaptive traffic adaptive countdown display and a control method thereof, in which a countdown module is respectively connected to a wireless module, a network module, power carrier communication, and RS485 communication, and this mode seems to be powerful and is really unreasonable, if equipped with wireless devices requiring purchasing, the cost is high, and there is a wireless interference problem; a special communication line needs to be laid for the network module and the RS485, so that the cost and the complexity of construction and maintenance are increased; the power carrier communication also needs to adopt a special chip, the transmission signal quality is poor, the single width is narrow, and data cannot be transmitted when the line is stopped and maintained. Therefore, the countdown display cannot integrate multiple communication modes from the aspect of cost, and unnecessary high cost is caused.
Generally, a TST319023 cable is adopted in an existing fixed traffic signal lamp, a transmission cable needs to be separately provided for signal transmission, and a signal cable and a power supply cable are separately arranged, so that the cost is high in general terms, which is divided into a construction cost and a maintenance cost.
