Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control and assistance system for managing vehicle traffic, particularly road traffic.
  • the invention concerns a system permitting detecting and processing extra-urban and highway traffic data suitable to be installed along articulated paths and also able supporting wireless data communications.
  • Said systems are for example based on positioning of cameras in correspondence of various detection points, such as fly-over and like or on suitable support beams. Information detected is transmitted to data processing units.
  • a further problem of the road network is that often SOS systems are inadequate. Particularly, they are too far each other or they can be difficulty obtained.
  • a second object of the present invention is that of permitting managing traffic data by systems provided along the road network.
  • a third object of the invention is that of permitting control and integration of safety systems.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of permitting interfacing with known detection systems.
  • a control and assistance system for managing vehicle traffic, particularly road traffic comprising a signal transmission communication network, connected with a data control and processing unit, said system being characterised in that it comprises a plurality of multifunctional units, installed in series along at least a course stretch of said vehicles, said multifunctional units comprising detection means for vehicle traffic and data transceiving means, each multifunctional unit receiving, by said transceiving means, said data from the precedent multifunctional unit and transmitting said data detected by said detection means to the next multifunctional unit and vice versa; said system further comprising at least an inlet unit connected with said fixed communication network and with at least one of said multifunctional units by further transceiving means, by said further transceiving means collecting said data and sending them to said data control and processing unit.
  • said multifunctional units can be installed in a plurality of stretches.
  • said system can comprise two access units placed at the ends of each stretch.
  • said data control and processing unit can comprise one or more units for controlling said multifunctional units.
  • said data can include vehicle average speed and/or vehicle density.
  • said transceiving means comprise radio or cable transceiving means.
  • said multifunctional units can be interfaced with data movable terminals or with voice terminal.
  • said multifunctional units can comprise a data pre-processing unit.
  • said multifunctional units can comprise a pole provided in a basement plinth.
  • said multifunctional units can comprise electric supply means, said electric supply means comprising at least a solar panel, energy accumulators and/or a wind system.
  • said data detection means can comprise at least a camera and/or a traffic sensor.
  • said data transceiving means of said multifunctional units could comprise at least a radio module connected with a directional antenna.
  • said system can comprise radio repeater for connecting said multifunctional units.
  • each one of said multifunctional units can be connected by connection means to a SOS peripheral unit and to a signalling unit.
  • connection means can include cables and/or further transceiving means.
  • said signalling unit can be activated/deactivated by said multifunctional unit following a control signal from said data control and processing centre.
  • Said system provides a plurality of multifunctional units 2, installed in series along a road network 3.
  • Said multifunctional units 2 can communicate each other, sending detected data by transceiving means 4.
  • Each multifunctional unit 2 is connected with the adjacent one, thus creating a chain. Therefore, each unit 2 can be terminal for the following one and inlet point for the previous one.
  • Said plurality of multifunctional units 2 provides inlet units 5 or concentrators at their ends, said units 5 being connected with fixed communication network 6 of Highway Authority, said network 6 being connected with a data control and processing unit 7.
  • Said inlet units 5 are connected with the first multifunctional unit 2 of the chain. They further provide a protected supply main.
  • Each multifunctional unit 2 comprises traffic data detection means, said data being transmitted along the chain and by said inlet units 5 and said fixed network to said data control and processing unit 5.
  • Routing algorithm is of the dynamic and self-adaptive type. Therefore, changing of the connection state (e.g. failures) and of network topology (addition or removal of whole network parts) is automatically learnt by software without requiring manual configuration intervention.
  • each multifunctional unit 2 provides cameras 8 and traffic sensors 9, connected to an interface data pre-processing and control unit 10. Said unit 10 is connected with said transceiving means 4, always on. Said multifunctional units 2 are supplied by supply means 11.
  • Multifunctional units 2 are preferably installed along a highway stretch (aside the roadway and, for safety reasons, at about 1.4 m from protection (guard rail)) at a distance each other of 2 Km, in the most suitable position (left or right) for ensuring wireless connection (when making inspection, installation sites are chosen so that antennas of each multifunctional unit 2 are in an electromagnetic visibility condition).
  • Data control and processing unit 7 is connected with control units 14 of said multifunctional units 2, placed in one or more stretches.
  • Each multifunctional units 2 is provided, in each running direction, with signalling and SOS peripheral units, respectively indicated by reference numbers 12 and 13, placed in the most suitable positions for ensuring visibility if signalling devices and/or safe access to SOS peripheral unit 11.
  • Said peripheral units 12 and 13 are connected with multifunctional unit 2 communicating by a wireless or by a wire communication subsystem.
  • FIG. 3 shows in greater detail system 1 according to the invention.
  • Inlet units 5 are placed at the two ends of stretch (e.g. placed close to highway control - houses), communicating with Highway Authority network.
  • Data control and processing unit 7 is reached by said network 6, said unit 7 comprising one or more control units 14.
  • network inlet points In case the system is installed along roads without control - houses, such as state roads, network inlet points must be individuated on public network or realised by optical fibre connection or by radio link. Typical distance between access points is 20 Km, in order to ensure operation and sufficient quality of all the cameras 8 on the stretch at the same time.
  • Multifunctional units 2 are placed at a sufficient distance for ensuring electromagnetic visibility. They provide a cabinet 15 for housing pre-processing circuits. cameras 8 and supply means for their power autonomy are provided on the top of said units 2.
  • repeater 2' permits communication of two multifunctional units 2 that, due to territory orography and to road path, are not in an electromagnetic visibility condition.
  • repeater 2' is not provided with cameras 8, sensors 9 and peripheral units 12 and 13.
  • Control units 14 are comprised of a suitably sized server for supporting, among others, the following specific applications:
  • Unit 14 is interface with data control and processing unit actuating all upper level functions and that, particularly, manages and supervises video information, signalling units 13 and SOS units 12, processing traffic data.
  • System 1 mainly permits:
  • Figure 4 shows block diagram of an embodiment of a multifunctional unit 2, which is power self-sufficient.
  • said supply means 11 comprise a stabilisation and control module 11', a photovoltaic panel 11" provided with batteries 11'''.
  • supply could be obtained from electric main, with a buffer battery system.
