Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and method counting, as well as detection, of passengers for bus, coach or any group transport vehicle.
  • Knowledge of instantaneous vehicle weight can be used to brake and steering control.
  • any passenger vehicle like coaches, buses, school buses by example, it is necessary to detect obstacles presenting at the doors and likely to interfere with the operation of the closing mechanisms doors.
  • the first belt counting mode uses five electrical contacts, distributed under the surface of the carpets, which react according to the weight of the person walking on the carpet. This solution is unreliable because some children may not be taken because of their low weight.
  • the second infrared barrier counting mode typically uses 2 to 4 infrared cells, which are attached to the edge of the doors and at the top of the doors. This mode is also unreliable because, depending on the albedo of people, cells may not detect people who do not reflect any signal back. Failure to detect people is due to the absorption of infrared by the tissues of their clothes. In the case of counting by ultrasonic barriers, the emitted beam can be dispersed for the physical fitness of people because ultrasound is specular.
  • the infrared pyrometry counting mode is used more particularly in banks. It is based on the same principle as barrier counting infrared but the wavelengths used in pyrometry are 3 to 5 microns and 8 to 12 microns, while the wavelengths used in the infrared barriers are 0.7 to 0.9 microns.
  • the fourth counting mode uses a camera which aims vertically at a checkerboard mark placed on the ground.
  • the counting is carried out using an integrated circuit which includes image processing with neural networks.
  • This fourth mode described in particular in the patent French FR 2 739 208 from FAIVELY TRANSPORT, allows distinguish the direction of movement of people.
  • the passenger detection function at bus door level it can be provided by example by pneumatic pressure sensors or by piezoelectric sensors fitted to the edges of the doors associated with means for measuring the current of electric motors for closing the doors.
  • An electrical signal is sent to the dashboard of the vehicle to authorize the driver to start.
  • a obstacle like a passenger's arm or foot remaining in the door may not be detected and get stuck while the driver starts his vehicle.
  • the invention aims to solve these two problems by offering a counting and detection system by camera coupled to presence detection means to confirm and remove the doubt.
  • the counting system comprises a device for acquiring images from one or more several digital matrix cameras, CCD type - Charge Coupled Device -, or CMOS - Complementary Oxide Semiconductor -, or APS-CMOS - Active Pixel Sensor CMOS -, miniature format, located in the mechanical structure of the bus type vehicle, at the level from each passenger access door either front of vehicle for passenger entry flow and back for the output stream. Means adequate lighting can be combined with cameras, in order to illuminate the scene happening in the vicinity of each door.
  • the images from the cameras are processed by a on-board electronic computer, with microprocessor all-or-nothing input / output circuit for alert the driver of the vehicle.
  • This calculator is intended to detect moving regions such as of travelers walking past the camera.
  • This detection is improved and confirmed by at least a presence detector, thermal infrared type or radar (wavelength between three and five microns, or eight and twelve microns).
  • the schematic section of the vehicle 1 in FIG. 1 is a cross section at a door 2.
  • a CCD camera 3 is placed inside the bus, under the ceiling light 4 above the opening area of the door.
  • a second camera 30 can be placed outside the bus 1 so that their two fields of vision 5 and 50 are complementary and cover the entire area opening door 2 allowing access to passengers.
  • vision providing image processing for the purpose to detect moving regions.
  • the regions are segmented with respect to the fixed background represented by the bus steps seen from above, or the doors side views.
  • a presence detector 8 of the type thermal infrared or radio frequency (radar or laser), is associated with the cameras and placed next to one of the two cameras. Its detection field 9 is narrow, with a diameter on the ground close to 20 cm for example, and headed towards the border between the interior and outside the bus at the access door to passengers.
  • Detection thermal confirms a segmentation detection before the actual count.
  • the system according to the invention therefore comprises two devices as described above, a first installed at the entrance door 2 of the passengers and a second at exit 20, the calculator carrying out instant counting of the number passengers inside the vehicle. Of more, the calculator can estimate the total weight of the vehicle payload at all times.
  • the method of counting the passengers actually present in the vehicle comprises, as shown in the functional diagram of FIG. 3, a first step e 1 of image acquisition at each door d 'access.
  • the processing of these digital video signals consists of a second step e 2 of segmenting the regions of each image, followed by a third step e 3 of detecting image segments qualified as "candidates", by a known morphological method for example .
  • a fourth processing step e 4 compares each candidate segment with a probable size criterion C T to determine the segments qualified as "candidates for human presence" during a fifth step e 5 . If the presence detector confirms the presence of “hot body” in some of these latter segments, during a step e 6 , a seventh step e 7 delivers a selection of image segments qualified as “candidates for human presence , suitable for counting ".
  • the computer can count the passengers present on the bus, by subtracting from the number of incoming passengers, estimated from a device placed above the front door, the number of outgoing passengers, estimated from another device placed above the exit door.
  • the computer can also estimate the total weight of the vehicle's payload.
  • the vision computer 7 is connected by a link series to the central electronic control unit 12 of the vehicle, to which it communicates the number of passengers as well as the estimate of the total instantaneous load of the vehicle in order to optimize the parameters of braking and / or gearbox by piloting actuators 13.
  • the detection of a passenger trapped in an access door is also carried out by the electronic computer 7 which compares, during a step e 9 , the image I f originating from the interior camera, or interior and exterior cameras when the device has two, after closing the door with a reference image I r taken just before closing. The method then determines an image qualified as "candidate", in step e 10 . Then, the computer performs a step e 11 of confirming the presence of a "hot body” in some of these "candidate” images by the infrared presence detector.
  • the vision computer 7 sends a signal, during a step e 12 of triggering an alert to an interface, for example an indicator light 10 placed in the driver's field of vision. It also sends, during an additional step e 13 , the image of the access door after closing on a display screen 11 placed in the driver's field of vision, on the dashboard for example. The driver can thus verify for himself the presence of an obstacle trapped in the door. Finally, it sends its confirmation signal to the central computer 12 of the vehicle which then controls the opening of the door where a person is detected trapped, by controlling the door motor 14, during a step e 14 .
  • the interest of the system lies in particular in multiple use of surveillance cameras passive access areas of the vehicle, especially for counting, detecting passengers or objects stuck in the doors, or even for the direct monitoring of entry and exit doors.
  • This system will reduce the cost of purchasing components, improve the mounting process and increase the intrinsic performance of vehicles public transport thanks to excellent accuracy passenger counting.
