Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. The cases of "target", "original", etc. are similar and will not be described in detail herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Before the embodiments of the present invention are described, the technical solution for detecting the safety of the articles in the car through the disposable sealing strip explained above is exemplified: for a carriage on a target vehicle carrying articles to be transported, a large number of disposable vehicle sealing strips are adopted to carry out door sealing operation on the carriage at present, and each disposable vehicle sealing strip has a disposable use characteristic. After the target vehicle arrives at the destination, whether the articles in the vehicle are stolen or replaced in the transportation process is detected by determining whether the disposable sealing strip on the carriage is the disposable sealing strip used when the door is initially sealed, whether the articles are damaged or not, and the like, namely, the safety of the articles in the vehicle is detected.

However, each batch of goods transported by the subject vehicle requires the use of a large number of disposable closure strips, which can be costly to use. Moreover, if the object vehicle is stolen or replaced in the transportation process, the object vehicle cannot be found in time at that time, and can only be found after the object vehicle reaches the destination, namely, the technical scheme can only detect that the object in the vehicle is stolen or replaced after the object in the vehicle is stolen or replaced, and cannot detect in the process, so that the safety of the object in the vehicle cannot be effectively ensured.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a configuration of a vehicle control apparatus provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the condition of the security of detecting the interior article of car, especially is applicable to when the security that detects the interior article of car appears unusually, the condition of in time reporting to the police. Referring to fig. 1, a vehicle control apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a positioning device 102, a door detection device 103, and a control device 101;

the positioning device 102 is used for acquiring position information of a target vehicle, sending the position information to the server, and receiving transportation progress information returned by the server aiming at the position information;

the door detection device 103 is used for detecting the opening and closing states of target doors, wherein the target doors comprise doors on a compartment of the target vehicle for loading articles to be transported;

and the control device 101 is used for controlling the alarm device to give an alarm when the vehicle door detection device 103 detects that the target vehicle door is in an open state under the condition that the transportation progress information received by the positioning device 102 confirms that the target vehicle is in the transportation process.

The positioning device 102 may be configured to obtain position information of a target vehicle, where the target vehicle may be understood as a vehicle for transporting an item to be transported, and the item to be transported may be understood as an item to be transported by the target vehicle, and the number of the item to be transported may be one, two, or more, which is related to the actual situation and is not specifically limited herein; the position information may be understood as position-related information generated by the target vehicle during transportation, such as historical position information, current position information, future position information, and the like, which is related to actual settings and is not specifically limited herein. The method and the system can also be used for sending the acquired position information to the server so that the server analyzes the position information to obtain transportation progress information of the target vehicle, and the transportation progress information can be used for representing information of the target vehicle in the transportation progress, such as the target vehicle is at the origin (i.e. the transportation is not started yet), in the transportation process (i.e. the object to be transported is being transported) or at the destination (i.e. the transportation is finished). And the method can also be used for receiving the transportation progress information returned by the server. It should be noted that, in an actual application, the server may be a cloud server, or may be a virtual device located on a target vehicle, which is related to an actual setting, and is not specifically limited herein.

The door detection device 103 may be configured to detect an opening/closing state of a target door, which may be understood as a door on a compartment of the target vehicle for loading an article to be transported, where the opening/closing state may include whether the target door is in an open state or a closed state.

In practical application, optionally, the opening and closing state of the target vehicle door may be acquired by vehicle door opening and closing state acquisition equipment, and then the vehicle door detection device 103 communicates with the vehicle door opening and closing state acquisition equipment to detect and obtain the opening and closing state of the target vehicle door.

On the basis, optionally, the number of the target vehicle doors may include one, two or more, and in the case that at least two target vehicle doors exist, corresponding vehicle door opening and closing state acquisition devices may be respectively provided for each target vehicle door, so as to ensure accurate acquisition of the opening and closing state of each target vehicle door.

Alternatively, the door opening/closing state collecting device may include a proximity sensor or a pressure sensor, but of course, other sensors may be used to collect the opening/closing state of the target door, and are not specifically limited herein. Here, taking a proximity sensor as an example, the proximity sensor may be provided on the vehicle compartment, and in the case where the target door is closed, the elastic member on the proximity sensor is depressed, and the proximity sensor is in a closed state; in the case where the target door is opened, the elastic member is sprung up, and the proximity sensor is in an open state. By way of example, fig. 2a and 2b show that the elastic members of both proximity sensors are in a sprung state in the case where both target doors are opened; accordingly, fig. 2c illustrates that in a case where one target door is opened and the other target door is closed, the elastic member of the proximity sensor corresponding to the opened target door (i.e., illustrated in fig. 2 c) is in a sprung state, and the elastic member of the proximity sensor corresponding to the closed target door (which is not illustrated in fig. 2c because it is blocked by the target door) is in a pressed state. On this basis, alternatively, the proximity sensor may be provided on the inner door frame corresponding to the target door, as shown in fig. 2 a-2 c for example; of course, it is also possible to provide the proximity sensor on a target area on the target vehicle door corresponding to the inner door frame; etc., and are not specifically limited herein. The inner door frame and the target door are both part of the vehicle compartment. Still alternatively, the resilient member may be a button on the proximity sensor.

Optionally, the vehicle door opening and closing state acquisition device may continuously or discontinuously send heartbeats to the vehicle door detection device 103 when acquiring that the target vehicle door is in an open state, and then the vehicle door detection device 103 detects that the target vehicle door is opened when receiving the heartbeats sent by the vehicle door opening and closing state acquisition device, otherwise detects that the target vehicle door is closed; the heartbeat can be continuously or discontinuously sent to the vehicle door detection device 103 under the condition that the target vehicle door is in the closed state, so that the vehicle door detection device 103 can detect that the target vehicle door is closed under the condition that the heartbeat sent by the vehicle door opening and closing state acquisition equipment is received, and otherwise, the target vehicle door is opened; etc., and are not specifically limited herein.

The control device 101 is configured to determine whether the target vehicle is in transit through the transportation progress information received by the positioning device 102, and if so, may also be configured to control the alarm device to alarm when the vehicle door detection device 103 detects that the target vehicle door is in an open state, that is, when the target vehicle is in transit, the alarm is given when the target vehicle door is open (the target vehicle door is open).

The alarm device may be used to alarm or stop alarming under the control of the control device 101. In order to ensure the safety of the articles in the vehicle (i.e. articles to be transported), when the target vehicle is in the transportation process, the target vehicle door should be always in a closed state, so that when the control device 101 determines that the target vehicle is in the transportation process and the target vehicle door is opened, this indicates that the articles in the vehicle may be stolen or replaced, that is, the safety of the articles in the vehicle may be abnormal, the alarm device may be controlled to give an alarm, so that the related personnel may pay attention to the abnormal condition in time and perform corresponding processing. Of course, whether the alarm device is controlled to give an alarm or not is not particularly limited in the remaining cases, for example, in the case where the target vehicle is not in transit or the target door is not opened. It should be emphasized that, from the practical application perspective, in the case where the target vehicle is in transit and the target door is opened, there is a possibility that an abnormality occurs in the safety of the articles in the vehicle at this time, and therefore the alarm at this time has a greater warning significance, and the warning significance of the alarm in the remaining cases is more limited.

In practical applications, the warning device may be disposed on the target vehicle, for example, as shown in fig. 2c, which is advantageous in that the safety of the vehicle contents can be timely paid attention to by the staff located on the target vehicle or the surrounding staff located around the target vehicle; in addition, the warning function can be provided for illegal persons who steal or replace the articles in the automobile at present, so that the illegal persons stop the illegal behaviors which are implemented at present, and the safety of the articles in the automobile is effectively guaranteed. Of course, the alarm device may be disposed at a location other than the target vehicle, such as at an office location of a security officer for managing security of items in the vehicle, etc., which is not specifically limited herein. Optionally, the alarm device may include an audible and visual alarm, and of course, other devices capable of playing a role of alarm may also be used, which is not specifically limited herein.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the position information of the target vehicle is obtained through the positioning device, the position information is sent to the server, and then the transportation progress information returned by the server aiming at the position information is received, wherein the transportation progress information can be used for reflecting whether the target vehicle is in the transportation process; detecting the opening and closing state of a target door on a carriage for loading articles to be transported on a target vehicle through a door detection device; on the basis, under the condition that the control device is combined with the transportation progress information received by the positioning device to determine that the target vehicle is in the transportation process, the vehicle door detection device detects that the target vehicle door is in an open state, which indicates that the safety of the articles in the vehicle is abnormal at the moment, the alarm device is controlled to give an alarm (namely, under the condition that the target vehicle is in the transportation process, the door is opened, namely, the alarm is given), so that related personnel can pay attention to the abnormal condition in time and carry out corresponding treatment. According to the technical scheme, the vehicle control equipment is not disposable equipment and can be used repeatedly, so that the use cost is low; in addition, the abnormal condition of the articles to be transported in the aspect of safety can be detected in time during transportation, and an alarm is given in time, namely the abnormal condition can be detected and given in the process, so that the safety of the articles in the vehicle is effectively ensured.

It is to be noted that, in the embodiment of the vehicle control apparatus described above, the included devices are merely divided according to the functional logic, but are not limited to the above division as long as the corresponding functions can be realized; in addition, the specific names of the devices are only for convenience of distinguishing from each other and are not used for limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

An optional technical solution, the vehicle door control apparatus further includes: a task detection device; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the task detection device is used for detecting the existence information of the loading task corresponding to the target vehicle;

and the control device is specifically used for determining that the goods to be transported are loaded in the carriage through the existence information detected by the task detection device, and controlling the alarm device to give an alarm when the door detection device detects that the target door is in an open state under the condition that the target vehicle is determined to be in the transportation process through the transportation progress information received by the positioning device.

In consideration of the fact that in some special scenes, the target vehicle is in the process of transportation and the goods to be transported are not loaded in the carriage, at the moment, even if the target vehicle door is opened, the problem that the safety of the goods in the vehicle is abnormal does not exist, namely the alarm at the moment is a false alarm. Therefore, in order to improve the alarm accuracy, the task detection device can be used for detecting the existence information of the loading task corresponding to the target vehicle, and the existence information can reflect whether the corresponding loading task exists or not and further reflect whether the goods to be transported are loaded in the carriage or not, because the loading task can be used for loading the goods to be transported in the carriage. For example, in the case where the presence information indicates that there is a corresponding loading task, this indicates that the vehicle compartment is loaded with the article to be transported; otherwise, this indicates that the car is not loaded with the items to be transported. In other words, whether the carriage is loaded with the articles to be transported can be determined by detecting whether the loading task exists.

On this basis, controlling means can be used for through the existence information that task detection device detected, confirms that the carriage is loaded with and needs the transportation article to and through the transportation progress information that positioner received, under the circumstances that the target vehicle is in transit of the transportation of assurance, when detecting that the target door is in the open mode through door detection device, then control alarm device and report to the police to the precision of reporting to the police has further been guaranteed.

In another optional technical solution, the control device may be further configured to: under the condition that the target vehicle is determined to be in the transportation process, if the vehicle door detection device detects that the target vehicle door is in an opening state, the picture acquisition equipment is opened, and pictures inside and/or outside the carriage are acquired through the opened picture acquisition equipment.

The image capturing device may be configured to capture images of the inside and/or outside of the vehicle cabin, and one or more captured images may be independent images or may form one or more videos, which is related to the specific configuration of the image capturing device and is not specifically limited herein. In practical application, optionally, the image capturing device may be a camera, a video camera, a camera, or the like, which may be set according to practical application requirements, and is not specifically limited herein. For example, as shown in fig. 2 a-2 c, it may be a video capture device disposed inside the vehicle cabin and near the target vehicle door, so that videos inside and outside the vehicle cabin (inside and outside the vehicle cabin) can be captured at the same time.

In order to further ensure the safety of the articles in the vehicle, under the condition that the control device determines that the target vehicle is in the transportation process and the vehicle door detection device detects that the target vehicle door is in the opening state, the control device can control the alarm device to give an alarm, and can also open the picture acquisition device to acquire the pictures inside and/or outside the carriage through the opened picture acquisition device, so that the pictures are combined for analysis, the alarm is determined to be a false alarm or an alarm caused by the opening of the target vehicle door, and under the latter condition, the target person causing the safety abnormity of the articles in the vehicle can be further determined, and the aim of recovering the stolen or replaced articles needing to be transported is facilitated.

On the basis, optionally, in the case that the target vehicle is at the origin or the destination and the target door is opened, the picture acquisition device may be turned on, so that each picture after the target door is opened may be acquired; and the picture acquisition equipment does not need to be started, so that the occupation of local storage resources can be reduced when the acquired pictures are locally stored, and the occupation of network bandwidth is reduced when the acquired pictures are uploaded. As for the former, optionally, the control device is further configured to control the image capturing device to sleep when the target vehicle is at the origin or the destination and the target door is determined to be closed, which takes into account that the security of the in-vehicle object is not abnormal when the target door is closed, so that image capturing by the image capturing device is not needed at this time, thereby reducing the occupation of local storage resources and the occupation of network bandwidth while effectively ensuring the security of the in-vehicle object.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the picture acquisition equipment can be started under the condition that the target vehicle door is determined to be abnormally opened, so that the pictures inside and/or outside the carriage are acquired through the picture acquisition equipment, and the pictures are combined for analysis in the following process, and the safety of articles in the vehicle is further ensured.

On this basis, optionally, the vehicle control apparatus further includes: a picture transmission device; the picture sending device is used for obtaining the pictures collected by the picture collecting equipment and sending the pictures to the server. In this way, the server can automatically analyze the acquired pictures, or optionally, the server can send the received pictures to the dispatching system, so that the dispatching personnel can manually analyze the pictures displayed by the dispatching system, which is helpful for accurately determining that the alarm is a false alarm or an alarm caused by opening of a target vehicle door, and under the latter condition, the server can further determine a target person causing abnormal safety of the articles in the vehicle, so as to recover the stolen or replaced articles to be transported.

On the basis, optionally, the image sending device is further configured to store the obtained image in the storage device under the condition that the communication with the server fails;

the screen transmitting device is specifically used for transmitting the screen stored in the storage device to the server when the communication with the server is available.

The storage device can be used for storing the pictures acquired by the picture acquisition device, and in practical application, optionally, the storage device can be arranged on a target vehicle, so that the advantage of the arrangement is that under the condition that communication signals are poor (namely, the communication between the picture sending device and the server fails) caused by the fact that the target vehicle passes through a tunnel and the like, the picture sending device can firstly store the pictures acquired by the picture acquisition device into the storage device, and then under the condition that the communication signals are recovered (namely, the picture sending device can be communicated with the server), the pictures stored in the storage device are sent to the server, and therefore effective storage and transmission of the pictures under extreme conditions are achieved. The picture sending device can receive pictures collected by the picture collecting equipment.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a system for detecting an object in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the condition of the security of detecting the interior article of car, especially is applicable to when the security that detects the interior article of car appears unusually, the condition of in time reporting to the police. Referring to fig. 3, the in-vehicle object detection system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: the vehicle control apparatus 10 and the server 20 set forth in any of the above-described embodiments; the server 20 is configured to receive the position information sent by the positioning device, analyze the position information, generate transportation progress information, and return the transportation progress information to the positioning device. In particular, the method comprises the following steps of,

a positioning device 102 for acquiring position information of the target vehicle and sending the position information to the server 20;

the server 20 is used for analyzing the position information, generating transportation progress information and returning the transportation progress information to the positioning device 102;

The specific implementation process of the above technical solution has been described above, and is not described herein again.

According to an optional technical scheme, the server is further configured to obtain a static routing address of the target vehicle, determine an origin and a destination of an article to be transported passing by the target vehicle according to the static routing address, and determine an origin fence corresponding to the origin and a destination fence corresponding to the destination;

and the server is specifically used for receiving the position information sent by the positioning device, analyzing the position information by combining the starting fence and the target fence, generating transportation progress information and returning the transportation progress information to the positioning device.

The server can determine the origin and the destination according to the static routing address. On the basis, taking the origin as an example, in order to accurately and quickly determine whether the target vehicle is at the origin or leaves the origin, an electronic fence (i.e., an origin fence) corresponding to the origin may be preset. The processing of the destination is similar and will not be described herein.

On the basis, the server can analyze the position information by combining the originating fence and the destination fence, determine that the target vehicle is currently at the originating place, in the transportation process (namely, the target vehicle leaves the originating place and does not reach the destination), or the destination, and accordingly generate the transportation progress information. For example, taking the example of determining whether the target vehicle is at the origin and leaves the origin, the target vehicle is determined to be at the origin after the vehicle location represented by the location information enters the electronic fence over time; and determining that the target vehicle leaves the origin after the vehicle position represented by the position information leaves the electronic fence.

In practical application, optionally, in order to improve the accuracy of the transportation progress information, besides the reference position information, the shooting result of the intelligent barrier gate may also be referred to. For example, by taking the example of determining whether the target vehicle is at the origin and leaves the origin, when the intelligent barrier shoots the license plate of the target vehicle entering the origin, the target vehicle is determined to be at the origin; and when the intelligent barrier gate shoots the license plate of the target vehicle leaving the origin, determining that the target vehicle leaves the origin. The electronic fence and the intelligent barrier are matched with each other, so that accurate determination of the transportation progress information is guaranteed.

In another optional technical scheme, the control device is further configured to detect that the target vehicle door is in an open state through the vehicle door detection device and send abnormal information to the server under the condition that the target vehicle is determined to be in the transportation process, wherein the abnormal information is used for indicating that the target vehicle door is opened abnormally;

the server is also used for processing the abnormal information and sending a stop alarm instruction to the control device under the condition that the target vehicle door is determined to be normally opened according to the obtained processing result;

and the control device is also used for controlling the alarm equipment to stop alarming under the condition of receiving the alarm stopping instruction.

When the safety of the articles in the vehicle is abnormal, the control device can control the alarm device to give an alarm and can also send abnormal information for indicating that the target vehicle door is opened abnormally to the server. Furthermore, the server can process the received abnormal information, for example, directly analyze the abnormal information, or send the abnormal information to a scheduling system, so that a scheduling person can analyze the abnormal information, and the like, thereby determining the next operation according to the obtained processing result.

When the target vehicle is in transit, the opening operation of the target door is abnormal opening. Further, in consideration of the fact that the alarm is given when the object in the vehicle is in a safe state due to the false detection of the door detection device or the like, the server may transmit a stop alarm command to the control device so that the control device controls the alarm device to stop the alarm according to the stop alarm command when it is determined that the target door is not abnormally opened according to the processing result of the abnormal information. The advantage of remotely controlling the alarm device by the server instead of locally (for example, the staff on the target vehicle) to stop the alarm is that the situation that the safety of the articles in the vehicle cannot be guaranteed due to the violation of the staff can be avoided.

On the basis, optionally, the server can detect the heartbeat of the vehicle control device in real time, so that the vehicle control device is ensured not to be damaged. When the heartbeat disconnection of the vehicle control equipment occurs, the server can send abnormal information used for representing the heartbeat disconnection of the vehicle control equipment to the dispatching system so as to be confirmed by dispatching personnel, and therefore the safety of articles in the vehicle can be guaranteed from multiple aspects.

On this basis, optionally, the server is specifically configured to: and sending the abnormal information to a dispatching system, receiving an analysis result returned by the dispatching system aiming at the abnormal information, and sending a stop alarm instruction to the control device under the condition that the target vehicle door is determined to be normally opened according to the analysis result. This is suitable for the situation that the server cannot autonomously process the abnormal information and needs the assistance of the operator (i.e. the dispatcher) of the dispatching system.

In another optional technical solution, the server is further configured to: under the condition of receiving the pictures sent by the vehicle control equipment, the pictures are sent to the dispatching system, wherein the pictures are obtained by the opened picture acquisition equipment through acquiring the inside and/or the outside of the carriage, so that the dispatching personnel can accurately judge whether the target vehicle door is abnormally opened by combining various information, and the safety of articles in the vehicle is further ensured.

In another optional technical solution, the control device is further configured to send a first opening signal to the server when the vehicle door detection device detects that the target vehicle door is in an open state when the transportation progress information received by the positioning device determines that the target vehicle is at the origin, where the first opening signal is used to indicate that the target vehicle door is opened at the origin;

the server is used for acquiring a binding relationship corresponding to the first opening signal, wherein the binding relationship is used for representing the binding relationship between the vehicle logo information and the article information of the article to be transported, and the vehicle logo information is used for representing the transportation process of the target vehicle for the article to be transported;

the control device is further used for sending a second opening signal to the server when the vehicle door detection device detects that the target vehicle door is in an open state under the condition that the transportation progress information received by the positioning device determines that the target vehicle is at the destination, wherein the second opening signal is used for indicating that the target vehicle door is opened at the destination;

and the server is also used for acquiring the binding relationship corresponding to the second opening signal and unbinding the vehicle logo information and the article information represented by the binding relationship.

When the server receives the first opening signal, which indicates that the object to be transported is currently loaded into the carriage, the server may obtain the binding relationship between the car logo information and the object information of the object to be transported, and combine the binding relationship with an application scenario that may be related to the embodiment of the present invention, and optionally, the object information may be a waybill number; optionally, in an automatic sorting scenario, the article information may be obtained automatically through sorting records, and in a manual sorting scenario, the article information may be obtained through manually scanning articles to be transported. It should be noted that, in the case that the target vehicle transports different articles to be transported (or performs different transportation tasks), the corresponding vehicle logo information is different, that is, the vehicle logo information is unique in a single transportation, so that the transportation process of the target vehicle for the articles to be transported loaded into the compartment can be uniquely identified by the vehicle logo information. The advantage of setting the binding relationship is that because the vehicle logo information and the current transportation process of the target vehicle have a corresponding relationship, under the condition that part of the articles to be transported in the target vehicle are found to be lost, the vehicle logo information of the target vehicle in the current transportation process can be determined firstly, and then the article information bound with the vehicle logo information is determined by combining the binding relationship, so that the articles to be transported which are lost in all the articles to be transported are determined based on the article information.

Further, when the server receives the second opening signal, which indicates that the object to be transported in the compartment is currently being unloaded from the compartment, and the target vehicle has completed the transportation task of transporting the object to be transported, the server may obtain the binding relationship corresponding to the second opening signal, where the binding relationship is the above binding relationship corresponding to the first opening signal. Considering that the target vehicle may also transport other objects to be transported (i.e., execute other transportation tasks), and that the object to be transported by the target vehicle may also be transported by other target vehicles, the vehicle logo information and the object information represented by the binding relationship may be unbound, so that the object to be transported is bound with the vehicle logo information of the corresponding target vehicle in the next transportation process, and the target vehicle is bound with the object information of the corresponding object to be transported when executing the next transportation task.

In order to better understand the optional setting positions of the devices in the in-vehicle article detection system and the workflow of the in-vehicle article detection system as a whole, the following description is made by way of example with reference to specific examples. For example, referring to fig. 4a and 4b, two sets of target doors are arranged on the carriage, each set of target doors comprises two target doors, and for each of the four target doors, a proximity sensor is arranged on an inner side door frame corresponding to the target door; video acquisition equipment is arranged in the carriage and close to the target vehicle door, and each group of target vehicle doors can respectively correspond to one video acquisition equipment; the alarming device is arranged outside the carriage, so that more people can pay attention to the alarming device when alarming.

Referring to fig. 5, the target vehicle receives a loading task and arrives at the beginning, the related personnel open the target door to load the goods to be transported into the carriage, the opening of the target door triggers the opening of the proximity sensor, and the opened proximity sensor continuously uploads a first opening signal to the server through the vehicle control equipment. On the basis, the license plate information of the target vehicle is correlated, so that the vehicle logo information corresponding to the event that the object to be transported is transported and loaded into the carriage through the target vehicle can be generated according to the license plate information, then the related personnel bind the vehicle logo information and the object information of the object to be transported loaded into the carriage through a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and close a secret door after the vehicle is loaded, close the proximity sensor and enter the transportation process.

When the target vehicle is in the transportation process, if the transportation is abnormal, namely the target vehicle door is opened, the proximity sensor is triggered to be opened, and then the remote alarm, the video acquisition equipment and the alarm equipment arranged on the target vehicle are linked to be started synchronously, wherein the remote alarm can be an alarm on a server. And further, uploading the abnormal information, the alarm information and all videos to a dispatching system in real time, and remotely closing the alarm equipment after the dispatching personnel processes the abnormal information. If the transportation is normal, the target vehicle comes to the destination, and the following steps are performed.

After the target vehicle reaches the destination, the related personnel open the target vehicle door, trigger the proximity sensor to open, and the opened proximity sensor continuously uploads a second opening signal to the server through the vehicle control equipment. Besides, related personnel input the license plate information through the PDA and call out the vehicle logo information. The server unbundles the vehicle logo information and the object information of the object to be transported loaded in the carriage (namely, unseals the object in the vehicle). And (3) unloading the vehicle (namely unloading the articles to be transported from the carriage), closing the target vehicle door after the unloading is finished, triggering the proximity sensor to close, and destroying the vehicle logo by the server until the next loading task is received.

Above-mentioned technical scheme can high-efficient accurate security of guaranteeing article in the car on the way of the transportation to when safe unusual appearing, can in time accurate high-efficient report to the police and gather relevant evidence and file and put on a record.
