  According to the present invention, safety when an attendant goes on a traveling lane is improved.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a toll gate to which the vehicle blocking apparatus according to the present embodiment is applied. The toll booth is installed to collect toll usage fees using the ETC system. The toll booth includes a traveling lane 4 through which the vehicle 2 (four-wheeled vehicle, two-wheeled vehicle, etc.) passes. Islands 6 are provided on both sides of the traveling lane 4.

  The vehicle cutoff device includes a controller 12, a blocking bar 14, and a display 16. This vehicle shut-off device is a system that can operate independently of the toll gate ETC system. A controller 12 is installed on the island 6 on the entrance side of the traveling lane 4. A blocking rod 14 is attached to the controller 12. The controller 12 drives the blocking rod 14 in the up-down direction by a rotational movement around a central axis that is horizontal and parallel to the flow direction of the traveling lane 4 to take one of the open state and the closed state. To control. In the closed state, the blocking bar 14 is lowered and is arranged at a position that prevents the vehicle 2 from entering the traveling lane 4. In the open state, the blocking bar 14 is raised and arranged at a position where it does not interfere with the vehicle 2 entering the traveling lane 4.

  As the blocking rod 14, for example, the following can be used instead of the above: (A) Either the open state or the closed state by rotating in the horizontal direction about the rotation axis facing the vertical direction. Controlled to one state; or (B) Controlled to either the open state or the closed state by keeping the longitudinal direction of the blocking bar horizontal and translating in the vertical direction. . Depending on the facility of the toll booth, an appropriate configuration is selected. When the type in which the blocking bar moves up and down, that is, the type shown in FIG. 1 and the type (B) is adopted, it is less likely to interfere with the functions of sensors and the like installed near the upstream side and downstream side of the blocking bar. It is preferable in that the degree of freedom of the installation location of the sensor or the like is increased.

  A display 16 is further installed on the island on the entrance side of the traveling lane 4. The display 16 displays character information and the like for vehicles on the road upstream of the toll gate.

  Instead of being provided on the island 6, the controller 12, the blocking bar 14, and the indicator 16 are for protection in front of the island 6 (that is, outside the island 6 and on an extension line in the upstream direction of the island 6). The cushion drum may be installed and provided thereon. By installing the control device 12, the blocking bar 14 and the display device 16 in front of the island 6 with respect to the existing toll booth having a small margin on the island 6, the safety of the staff can be easily improved. .

  A vehicle detector 18 is installed on the downstream side of the controller 12, the blocking bar 14 and the display 16. The vehicle detector 18 detects that the vehicle 2 has entered the travel lane 4. On the downstream side of the vehicle detector 18, a booth 10 in which a toll booth waits is provided. A start controller 22 is installed on the downstream side of the booth 10. The start controller 22 is opened when processing for toll collection of the vehicle 2 is completed normally.

  Further, an ETC roadside antenna 20 is installed at the toll gate. The ETC roadside antenna 20 transmits and receives information used for toll collection with the vehicle-mounted device of the vehicle 2 by wireless communication. The toll gate system including the ETC roadside antenna 20 generates a traffic signal control signal indicating whether or not the vehicle is allowed to pass, independently of the vehicle blocking apparatus in the present embodiment. Includes a red light (indicating that the driving lane is closed) and a green light (indicating that the driving lane is not closed) installed on the driving lane 4 of the toll booth to display toward the upstream side A traffic light (not shown) is turned on in response to a traffic light control signal.

  FIG. 2 is a top view of the toll booth for explaining the configuration of the vehicle shut-off device. On the island 16 of the toll booth, the controller 12 to which the blocking bar 14 is attached and the display 16 are attached. The vehicle cutoff device further includes an operation terminal 24. An operation terminal 24 is arranged on the island 6 near the traveling lane 4. The operation terminal 24 is a portable terminal device that can be easily carried by a tollgate. The operation terminal 24 is connected to a facility fixed to the island 6 with a string or a chain so that the staff cannot carry it to a remote place such as another island. Instead of such a portable operation terminal 24, a fixed operation terminal installed in the booth 10 or in a toll office may be used. A staff member can operate the operation terminal 24 to remotely open and close the blocking bar 14 from a safe place.

  Operation terminals 24 having the same function are installed on both sides of the traveling lane 4. Therefore, the staff can remotely raise and lower the blocking rod of the traveling lane 4 from the island 6 on the right side or the left island 6 of the traveling lane 4.

  The toll booth includes a plurality of traveling lanes 4. Corresponding to each of the plurality of traveling lanes 4, a controller 12 and an operation terminal 24 are arranged. Wireless communication performed between the controller 12 corresponding to a certain travel lane and the operation terminal 24 is performed so as not to interfere with the controller 12 or the operation terminal 24 in the adjacent travel lane 4. For this purpose, different radio communication frequencies are assigned to each of the plurality of traveling lanes 4. Alternatively, the signal is encrypted so that wireless communication is individually performed for each of the plurality of traveling lanes 4.

  FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the controller 12. The controller 12 includes a control unit 26, a blocking rod drive unit 28, an obstacle sensor 30, an approach sensor 32, a rotating lamp 36, and a communication unit 36. The control unit 26 includes a computer and controls the blocking rod drive unit 28 to the communication unit 36. The blocking rod drive unit 28 is an actuator that realizes an opening / closing operation by moving the blocking rod 14 up and down based on a signal from the control unit 26.

  The obstacle sensor 30 and the proximity sensor 32 are sensors that detect the vehicle 2 and transmit a detection signal to the control unit 26. The rotating lamp 34 is an output device that urges the passenger of the vehicle 2 with sound and light based on a signal from the control unit 26. The communication unit 36 performs wireless communication with the operation terminal 24.

  The controller 12 further includes a communication interface (not shown) for connecting to the information network of the toll gate ETC system. When connected to the ETC system at the toll gate, the controller 12 performs an operation in response to the traffic signal control signal received from the ETC system. The control unit 26 controls the blocking rod driving unit 28 to raise the blocking rod 14 while the ETC system displays a green signal indicating that the lane is allowed to pass. While the ETC system displays a red signal indicating that the lane cannot pass, the control unit 26 controls the blocking bar driving unit 28 to lower the blocking bar 14.

  FIG. 4 is a view of the controller 12 and the blocking bar 14 as seen from the upstream side of the flow of the vehicle 2 at the toll gate. The controller 12 includes a housing 13 installed on the island 6. An proximity sensor 32 and a rotating lamp 34 are attached to the top of the housing 13. In the closed state, the blocking bar 14 is horizontally disposed above the traveling lane 4. The blocking bar 14 is flipped up in the open state. An LED (Light Emitting Diode) 15 is attached to the upstream side surface of the blocking rod 14.

  FIG. 5 is a top view of the controller 12 for explaining the obstacle sensor 30 and the proximity sensor 32. The obstacle sensor 30 periodically detects the presence or absence of an obstacle (an object having a high possibility of being a vehicle) in the detection area 31, generates an obstacle detection signal indicating the detection result, and controls the control unit 26. Send to. The detection area 31 is an area that covers an area where the blocking bar 14 exists on the upper side in the vertical direction of the traveling lane 4. The obstacle sensor 30 can distinguish between the obstacle and the blocking bar 14.

  As the obstacle sensor 30, for example, a sensor of a type that detects a target by projecting light onto the target and detecting an angle of reflected light from the target of the projected light is used.

  The proximity sensor 32 detects that an obstacle has entered from the outside of the detection area 33, generates an proximity detection signal indicating the detection result, and transmits it to the control unit 26. The detection area 33 is set upstream of the entrance of the travel lane 4 in order to detect the presence of the vehicle 2 approaching toward the travel lane 4.

  The proximity sensor 32 can be realized by, for example, a sensor similar to a crime prevention facility that detects the presence of an object approaching a building and turns on the illumination. Such a sensor detects that an object has entered a predetermined detection area by detecting infrared rays, sound waves, or ultrasonic waves emitted from the object. As the proximity sensor 32, a sensor having a large adjustment range of detection conditions such as the size, angle, and orientation of the detection area 33 is preferably used. When the controller 12 is installed at a toll booth, the proximity sensor 32 is set to an appropriate detection condition according to the situation of each toll booth.

  FIG. 6 shows a flag table FT stored in a storage device included in the control unit 26. The flag table FT includes a status flag part FS and a detection flag part FD.

  The state flag part FS is a data area including a flag indicating the control state of the blocking bar 14. The state flag unit FD includes an open flag F1, a warning flag F2, a closing operation flag F3, a closing flag F4, and an opening operation flag F5. Each flag included in the status flag portion FD takes one of 0 and 1 values. Of all the flags included in the status flag part FD, only one selected is set to 1 and all the others are set to 0.

  When any of the during-notification flag F2, the closing operation flag F3, the closing flag F4, and the opening operation flag F5 is 1, the control unit 26 controls the controller 12 to the warning mode so that the upstream vehicle 2 A warning is issued to stand out. In the warning mode, the LED 15 is lit and the rotating lamp 34 is lit. At the same time, the display device 16 displays character information and video information for notifying the passenger of the upstream vehicle 2 that it cannot be used, such as “closed”. When the advance notice flag F2 or the closing operation flag F3 is 1, the speaker included in the rotating lamp 34 further emits a warning sound.

  The detection flag unit FD includes an obstacle detection flag F6 and an approach detection flag F7. The obstacle detection flag F6 is set to 1 when an obstacle detection signal indicating that an obstacle is present is received from the obstacle sensor 30, and is set to 0 otherwise. The approach detection flag F7 is set to 1 for a predetermined time after receiving the approach detection signal from the proximity sensor 32, and is set to 0 when the time during which the approach detection signal is not received exceeds the predetermined time.

  FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the operation terminal 24. The operation terminal 24 is a computer including a calculation control unit 37, a storage unit 38, an input unit 40, an output unit 48, and a communication unit 50 inside a drip-proof case, and a dry battery stored in the case. It is driven by an independent power source 51 such as.

  The input unit 40 includes a notice button 42, a close button 44, and an open button 46 that are input by a tollgate. The close button 44 is used to lower the blocking bar (that is, to close the blocking bar 14 in the open state). The open button 46 is used to raise the blocking bar (ie, open the blocking bar 14 in the closed state). The notice button 42 is used to warn the vehicle 2 on the upstream side of the toll booth in advance that the blocking bar 14 will be lowered. The open button 46 is also used to cancel the warning operation started by pressing the notice button 42.

  The output unit 48 includes an LED and a speaker. The communication unit 50 performs wireless communication with the communication unit 36 of the controller 12.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the variation of the operation | movement which the controller 12 takes is demonstrated. In response to the operation signal received from the operation terminal 24, the obstacle detection signal received from the obstacle sensor 30, and the approach detection signal received from the proximity sensor 32, the controller 12 has a plurality of control states (each of which is a state flag unit). (Corresponding to each flag of FS). Based on the control state, the blocking bar drive unit 28, the display 16 and the rotating lamp 34 are controlled. FIG. 8 is a state transition diagram showing a transition relationship between control states that the controller 12 can take.

The controller 12 can perform the following state transitions:
Transition TR1: from the open state F1 = 1 to the pre-notification state F2 = 1;
Transition TR3: From the advance notice state F2 = 1 to the closing operation state F3 = 1;
Transition TR6: From the closed operation state F3 = 1 to the closed state F4 = 1;
Transition TR7: From the closed state F4 = 1 to the open operation state F5 = 1; and Transition TR8: From the open operation state F5 = 1 to the open state F1 = 1.
The above is the normal operation of lowering the rising blocking rod 14 and raising it again.
The transition TR8 is a transition that can be taken only when the open operation state F5 = 1 is reached by the transition TR7.

The controller 12 can also make the following state transitions to interrupt the operation of closing the lane 4:
Transition TR4: From the closing operation state F3 = 1 to the opening operation state F5 = 1;
Transition TR5: From open operation state F5 = 1 to advance notice state F2 = 1; and Transition TR2: Advance notice state F2 = 1 to open state F1 = 1.
The transition TR5 is a transition that can be taken only when the open operation state F5 = 1 is reached by the transition TR4.

  With reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the operation of the vehicle breaker in the present embodiment will be described.

  Step S1: When a normal toll collection service is performed in the travel lane 4 of the toll booth, the controller 12 is set to the open flag F1 = 1. At this time, the blocking bar 14 is raised.

  Step S2: When it is necessary to cross the driving lane 4 for some reason, the toll gate staff lowers the blocking bar 14 to ensure safety and then crosses. For this purpose, first, the user picks up the operation terminal 24 provided on the island 6 where he / she is staying at that time, and presses the notice button 42. The operation terminal 24 performs time waiting processing until the advance notice button 42 is pressed (step S2 NO).

  Step S4: When the notice button 42 is pressed, the operation terminal 24 transmits a notice signal to the controller 12. When the controller 12 receives the notice signal, the control unit 26 sets the notice flag F2 = 1 and starts the notice operation (the operation of the control unit is the transition TR1 shown in FIG. 8). The controller 12 is set to the warning mode, a warning is issued to the upstream vehicle by the LED 15 and the rotating lamp 34, and the display 16 displays “closed”. Thereafter, this warning mode is continued until the open flag F1 = 1 is set.

  Step S6: If the attendant does not need to lower the blocking rod 14 during the operation, the attendant presses the open button 46 to stop the advance notice operation. When the open button 46 is pressed, the operation terminal 24 transmits an open signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 monitors whether an open signal has been received.

  Step S8: When the controller 12 receives the open signal, the control unit 26 proceeds to a notice canceling operation and returns the process to step S1 (transition TR2).

  Step S10: The attendant presses the close button 44 after pressing the notice button 42 in order to lower the blocking bar 14. When the close button 44 is pressed, the operation terminal 24 transmits a close signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 performs a time waiting process until a close signal is received (step S10 NO).

  In order to ensure safety, it is desirable that the advance notice operation continues for a predetermined time. Therefore, the closing operation is not started even if the closing button 44 is pressed for a predetermined time after the notice button 42 is pressed.

  Step S12: When the obstacle sensor 30 detects that the vehicle 2 exists in the detection area 31, the control unit 26 sets the obstacle detection flag F6 = 1. When the approach sensor 32 detects a vehicle approaching the travel lane 4, the control unit 26 sets the approach detection flag F7 = 1. When the closing operation is performed, the control unit 26 determines the next operation with reference to F6 and F7. If at least one of F6 and F7 is 1, the closing operation is prohibited, and the process returns to step S10 (NO in step S12). If both F6 and F7 are 0, the process proceeds to step S14.

  If at least one of F6 and F7 is 1, the controller 12 transmits a vehicle detection signal indicating that the vehicle has been detected to the operation terminal 24. When receiving the vehicle detection signal, the operation terminal 24 controls the output unit 48 to turn on the LED, generate a warning sound from the speaker, and warn the staff.

  Step S14: The control unit 26 sets the closing operation flag F3 = 1 and starts the closing operation. The blocking rod drive unit 28 starts to lower the blocking rod 14 from the open state (transition TR3).

  Step S16: The attendant presses the open button 46 to raise the blocking bar 14 when the blocking bar 14 is being lowered. When the open button 46 is pressed, the operation terminal 24 transmits an open signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 monitors whether an open signal has been received. If the controller 12 does not receive the open signal, the process proceeds to step S18. When the controller 12 receives the open signal, the process proceeds to step S20.

  Step S18: The control unit 26 monitors the detection flag unit FD. When at least one of F6 and F7 becomes 1, the process proceeds to step S20. When both F6 and F7 maintain 0, the control unit 26 shifts the process to step S22.

Step S20: The control unit 26 sets the opening operation flag F5 = 1, and shifts the operation of the blocking rod drive unit 28 during the closing operation to the opening operation (transition TR4).
Step S21: When the opening operation is completed, the control unit 26 sets the warning flag F2 = 1 (transition TR5), and returns the process to step S10.

Step S22: While the closing operation flag F3 = 0 is set, a time waiting process is performed until the closing operation is completed.
Step S23: When the closing operation is completed, the control unit 26 sets the closing flag F4 = 1 (transition TR = 6).

  With the blocking bar 14 lowered and the LED 15, the rotating lamp 34 and the display 16 warning the upstream side that the lane 4 is closed, the staff safely crosses the lane 4, and others Move to Island 6. Alternatively, after exiting the driving lane 4, the vehicle moves to another place on the same island.

  Step S26: The clerk presses the open button 46 to raise the blocking bar 14 in the closed state. When the open button 46 is pressed, the operation terminal 24 transmits an open signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 monitors whether an open signal has been received. When the controller 12 receives the open signal, the process proceeds to step S28. The controller 12 waits for a time in the closed state until it receives an open signal.

Step S28: The control unit 26 sets the opening operation flag F5 = 1, and controls the blocking rod drive unit 28 to start the opening operation of raising the control rod 14 (transition TR7).
Step S30: When the opening operation is completed, the control unit 26 returns the process to step S1 (transition TR8).
