Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile detection and possible to display the instantaneous speed of the vehicles and their registration number ("plate number"). More specifically, she a system designed for preventive purposes, to encourage users roads and highways to slow down as construction approaches areas in which a temporary speed limit is in effect. Good that this is not its main purpose, such a system may also have repressive function, making it possible to establish infringements of speed.
  • Patent Application JP 6068376 discloses a system including radar speed detector, camera, system automatic reading license plate and a panel to variable message simultaneously displaying speed and number registration of a vehicle. However, it is a fixed system, which is adapted when it is necessary to permanently incite users of the road to limit their speed, such as when approaching a bend dangerous, but which is not suitable for temporary use, such as a job site that can be as short as one or two days.
  • US Patent 5,231,393 shows a cart which can be transported near a construction site and which includes a radar detector speed and a variable message panel to display the speed of a vehicle.
  • This device does not include means of acquisition, reading and displaying the registration number.
  • the fact fixedly combine the speed sensor and the display panel has major disadvantages. Indeed, even if the detectors speed can work effectively up to a distance of several hundreds of meters, such a distance does not allow the acquisition of a image with sufficient definition to allow reading of the plate (in In any case, when the use of a flash is necessary, the image must be acquired at a close distance). It follows that a sign at the same location that the detector can only display the speed of a vehicle when better a few moments before its passage: the driver does not have the time to read the message, let alone recognize his number of plate.
  • Patent Application EP 1,148,457 describes a module compact, transportable and equipped with wheels, comprising a detector of speed and a camera and a flash triggered by the latter.
  • the document does not mention automatic means of reading number plates or variable message sign to display the speed of the vehicles as well as their plate number.
  • a module of this type has the disadvantage that, in order to avoid excessive clutter, the camera is located at a relatively low level relative to the ground and does not can not be oriented freely (it is inside the module, behind a window). This is an important limitation for a application in correspondence of a building site, where many obstacles could stand between the camera and a vehicle: people, tools, heap of earth or gravel.
  • none of the known devices of the prior art does not seem well suited to providing an easily transportable system and positionable to detect and possibly display the speed of a vehicle and its registration number, particularly in the environment of a road or motorway project.
  • the present invention relates to a mobile device of detection of speed and identification of land vehicles consisting of a trolley on which are arranged a camera and a speed detector, also comprising electronic control circuits for acquiring the speed of a vehicle measured by the detector and, if that speed exceeds one predefined threshold, trigger the camera to acquire an image of said vehicle, characterized in that it also comprises means for producing for extract and recognize the registration number of the vehicle of the image acquired by the camera, and in that the camera and the speed detector are mounted on a support extending vertically from a base which ensures the stability of the whole.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a system according to the invention during its use in correspondence of a motorway project.
  • a carriage 1 is arranged on the emergency stop strip of the motorway, preferably in the initial part of the site, oriented in the direction of from the vehicles.
  • a variable message display panel 2 is also arranged on the emergency stop strip, downstream in the direction of the relative to the carriage, and is oriented so as to be easily visible by motorists.
  • the distance between the carriage 1 and the panel 2 is typically between a few tens and a few hundred meters, its exact value being determined by considerations congestion, visibility and security.
  • the panel 2 comprises a fixed "construction" sign, two flashing orange flashes and two or three lines of 10 variable characters, with a height of 200 mm.
  • the panel 2 is mounted on a trailer 20, to be transported to the job site and positioned easily.
  • the trailer 20 integrates power supply batteries of the panel 2 (minimum autonomy of 24 hours) and can accommodate the carriage 1 in position folded (see Figures 3A and 3B).
  • a speed sensor (“radar”) 101 mounted on the carriage 1
  • the latter measures its speed. If the latter exceeds a predetermined threshold, an infrared flash 102 is triggered and a camera 103 takes an image of the vehicle 3. Then the image is processed by means of processing 104 to extract the registration number ("plaque").
  • the registration number and the vehicle speed are transmitted, preferably via a radio link or GSM, at panel 2 which displays them, with an invitation to slow down; the message is maintained for a sufficient time to allow reading, which may be fixed depending on the speed of the vehicle 3.
  • Panel 2 remains off, or it displays a reminder of the speed limit.
  • the means of production 104 generally comprise a universal computer and a program of image processing and character recognition. Such means are known, for example, from US 4,817,166 and US 4,878,248. It is important observe that, in a preventive application, a relatively high error rate high on the recognition of the registration number is permissible, this which is not true in the case of a repressive application. For example, it can be estimated that a plate recognition rate of 90% with a intensity of 100 vehicles / hour and 60% with an intensity of 1500 vehicles / hour would be sufficient for this application.
  • the speed sensor 101, the flash 102 and the camera 103 are positioned in height to have an unobstructed view of the road, despite the presence of beacons and signs. there a preferred element of implementation of the present invention.
  • the mobile carriage 1 is now described in detail in FIG. 2. It comprises a mast 100 made of metal profile, of a height of 2 to 3 m and preferably about 2.50 m, which is fixed on a front side 131 of a base 130.
  • the mast 100 is composed of a part lower part 100a and an upper part 100b, preferably connected by a hinge 120, located on the rear side of the mast 100, and by a system of 121, located on its front side.
  • the upper part 100b of the mast 100 is shorter from the bottom 100a, and the difference in length is greater than the height of the base 120: this allows the folding of the mast, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B.
  • a camera 103 integrated in a waterproof and dustproof case according to IP66 and equipped with a sun visor, is fixed by ball joint, rotatable in site and in azimuth.
  • an antenna 105 Near the top of the mast, on its back side to not be an obstacle to the orientation of the camera, is also arranged an antenna 105, to provide a radio or GSM link with the variable message sign 2.
  • a flash, especially infrared, 102 that can be triggered at the same time as the camera to acquire an image of a vehicle in speeding.
  • the speed detector 101 including a Doppler radar. Both the radar 101 and the flash 102 are integrated into IP66 sealed boxes and are preferably less partially orientable.
  • the radar 101, the flash 102, the camera 103 and the antenna 105 arranged in height to function properly, particularly because of obstacles that could be between the truck and the section of road to control, regulate ; for this reason they are attached to the upper part 100b of the mast.
  • the antenna 105 can be fixed to the technical box, instead to be positioned at the top of the mast.
  • the on-board computer can be integrated into the camera.
  • All devices and electronic devices mounted on the must be able to operate within a temperature range at least between -20 ° C and + 60 ° C, with a humidity level of up to 100%. Devices meeting these specifications are available in the trade.
  • the technical box 106 is preferably provided with a plug 107 allowing the connection of a display console provided with a keyboard 108 (for example a laptop), in order to be able to program the on-board computer, for example by adjusting the speed of threshold, the message to display, flash and camera delay, etc.
  • the box 106 also includes a radio receiver, it is also possible to perform remote programming, via the antenna 105.
  • the base 130 is essentially constituted by a box waterproof 132 fitted on its right and left sides of two handles of 133, on its front side 131, two wheels 134 and on its side back of two feet 135. Inside the box 132 are placed batteries that power the electrical devices mounted on the cart; he is preferably two 12 V, 100 Ah batteries, disconnectable and rechargeable. Such batteries ensure, under normal conditions of operation, a range greater than 24 hours.
  • the base 130 also has the function of making the carriage 1 Stable enough, even in the presence of wind and air movement induced by the passage of vehicles, despite the height of the mast 100. For this because its dimensions may exceed the minimum necessary for contain the batteries. If the weight of the batteries proves to be insufficient for to ensure the stability of the assembly, a ballast could be integrated into the base 130, in the form of a metal mass or the like.
  • Power supply and signal cables that connect the different components of the carriage 1 preferably pass inside the mast 100. They must not be too tight, so as not to prevent folding said mast, and not to be torn off.
  • FIG. 3A shows the folding operation of the mast 100 for put the carriage 1 in the transport position.
  • the fastening system 121 which prevents the mast 100 from retreating when the system is in use and which can, for example, be constituted by a hook connected to the lower part 100a which is introduced into a integrated ring at the top 100b.
  • the upper part 100b of the mast pivots 180 ° around a horizontal axis passing through the hinge 120, until its rear side comes into contact with the rear side of the lower part 100a.
  • the length of the top 100b, including the camera 103 mounted on its end must be at most equal to the length of the portion of the lower part 100a which protrudes from the base 130.
  • the antenna 105 can be pivoting, as shown in the figure, or telescopic.
  • additional fixing means may be provided for block the upper part 100b in its folded position.
  • FIG. 3B shows the same carriage 1 in the folded position, seen by its back side.
  • the mast 100 pivoting about 90 ° around an axis horizontal relative to the base 130, so as to position it horizontally to further reduce the size of the trolley 1 during of its storage.
  • Figure 4 shows how a single operator can move the carriage 1, by grasping it by the rolling handle 109, by tilting so as to lift the feet 135 from the ground and by doing so roll with the wheels 134.
  • the base 130 has a counterweight effect which balance the carriage 1 and make transport easier.
  • the carriage 1 is preferably transported in the trailer 20 which supports the panel 2 or in the vehicle that draws said trailer.
