Description

On major roads, there are bus routes that run without exception as regular or tour buses, and there are always bus stops for passengers and bus stop signs. In other words, the bus stop sign that is installed at a certain distance and the bus stop sign that displays its position, and equipped with a special function on this bus stop sign, the bus stop sign is just a display function. Not only that, it changes to a highly convenient functional sign equipped with various information display functions, and the bus stop sign makes use of these characteristics that combine people's collective function and landmark function. As a symbol zone of the city, it is related to bus stop signs equipped with versatile functions as familiar information transmission and display devices from attracting customers to transmitting information, especially in downtown.

Conventionally, public telephones have been installed on public buildings, most street corners, and main streets, and this has been very useful for emergency communications in the event of an emergency as well as for the convenience of the public. Due to the recent privatization of mobile phones, including the privatization policy of the public corporation, the removal of public phones that have turned into a deficit has begun, and the number of installed phones is rapidly decreasing. Moreover, in recent years, detailed information on daily life is necessary for housewives to spend efficient living time such as shopping time due to an increase in couples working together. On the other hand, there are always bus stops on the bus route, and for the residents in the vicinity, the location of the nearby bus stop is always in the brain unconsciously. It is one of the landmark mini-landmarks, just telling the bus stop name, the approximate location can be found, and the bus stop is always in a highly convenient location, and it is useful for group activities and emergencies. Convenient as a meeting place, and in case of evacuation, it is ideal as a place that allows a large amount of evacuation at once by bus, and there is also a dedicated bus route on the recent main street. We have secured a convenient location for information transmission. However, the conventional bus stop sign belongs to a high-class category even if it has a lighting function, and it is still a poor bus stop sign when one step is taken on the country road. Also in the patent field, for example, Design Registration No. 1071925 has only a display function, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-49602 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-288968 relate to a power saving method for a bulletin board or the like. The present invention is different in idea from these inventions. The emergency stop information and disaster information by the bus stop sign with the self-power generation function by the solar cell that is not influenced by the power stoppage that frequently occurs at the time of the disaster from the mere place of customer at the bus stop sign As a base for information not only for collecting passengers on the bus, but also for customers in the surrounding business world as well as for emergency use such as displaying signs, technology related to super bus stop signs that change to street corners and information terminals in the city It is to provide.

There is a risk that it is unstable and may even cause a traffic accident. In addition, in the case of a rival railway for buses, the railroad tracks are owned by JR and the electric railway company, so the passenger cars run exclusively by the electric railway companies, but in the case of the road as the bus runs , The property is owned by public road managers, and anyone can use it. In the case of national roads, it is the MLIT, and prefectural and municipal roads are under the jurisdiction of their respective civil engineering offices. And if the bus company that runs on the road is a national road, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and many bus companies that use the road compete and run freely. Therefore, many bus companies compete on the bus route with many bus users and run on the same route, and the operating times of each bus company differ, so each bus company installs a bus stop sign at the same location. There are many bus stop signs in one place. However, all of these have high functionality to attract customers. Therefore, the present invention uses all these bus stops, regional bus stops in a certain area, or main bus stops with many passengers as daily information dispatch bases and transfer bases, for example, so-called directly connected to a car rental shop or rental bicycle at the bus stop.

For example, an arrow and a region name can be used to provide an excellent road guide version. In order to provide an excellent alarm device in an emergency, it is preferable to attach it to the upper part where the line of sight is good as far as possible. Equipped with a self-power generation function using solar cells 18 and equipped with a battery 19 that can cope with power outages that occur frequently in the event of a disaster, a transmitter / receiver 17 at the top of the bus stop sign is installed in the main body box, and the display panel of the bus stop main body 2 There are bus direction guidance 3, station name column 4, English display column or subtitle station name column 5, previous bus stop station name column 6, next station name column 7, scroll type disaster information / local information / general news / bus operation guidance information column 9. There are display columns such as various scroll type group event guide / company advertisement column 10, convenient information terminal switch column 11, timetable column 12, neighboring town guide column 13, advertisement column 14.
