[Introduction]
The route bus plays an important role as a daily means of transportation. The route bus is one of the important public transportation for elderly people who have difficulty driving a car, and plays an important role as a local foot.

  On the other hand, the user of a route bus has the inconvenience that the arrival schedule of a route bus is not known. Route buses operate according to a set schedule, but the operating conditions vary depending on traffic congestion on the road. For this reason, it is difficult for the user to clearly know whether the bus arrives on time.

  In addition, users may use a system that informs operation information using a mobile phone, but in order to refer to operation information, the application must first be launched and the bus system, destination, departure location, etc. It must be specified and is not easy to use.

  For this reason, even if the user arrives at the bus stop at the scheduled arrival time of the bus, if the user waits for a long time due to the delay of the bus, or conversely goes to the bus stop a little later in anticipation of the delay of the bus, I was inconvenienced after encountering the situation after the departure.

  Also, the location of a bus stop may be difficult to understand compared to a railway station. If you are visiting the area for the first time or a place that doesn't have the intuition, you may not know the location of the bus stop, and you may miss the target bus while looking for the bus stop.

  Moreover, when there are a plurality of bus stops as candidates for boarding, it is difficult to determine which bus stop is optimal for boarding. If there are multiple bus stops nearby, you may want to select the bus stop that is most suitable for boarding depending on the destination and operating conditions of the bus, the distance from your location to each bus stop, and so on. In this case, the user currently makes a selection based on his / her own timetable information, distance to the bus stop, estimated arrival time, and the like. Since buses may not operate as scheduled according to road conditions, the result of this judgment must be inaccurate.

  Therefore, in the street light control system according to one embodiment described below, the bus operation status is provided using the street light. Thereby, the user can know the operation status of the bus and the approximate arrival time at the bus stop from the lighting color of the street light. Hereinafter, an example of street lamp and bus operation in which the street lamp control system according to the embodiment is used will be described.

[Example of street light and bus operation]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a street light and bus operation in which a street light control system according to an embodiment is used. In the example of FIG. 1, a plurality of street lamps are arranged along the road. Street lamps 41 to 45 are arranged on the left side of the intersection. Street lamps 51 and 52 are arranged on the road above the intersection. Street lamps 61 and 62 are arranged on the road below the intersection. Street lamps 71 and 72 are arranged on the road on the right side of the intersection. Hereinafter, the plurality of street lamps are collectively referred to as a street lamp L. The street lamp L can change lighting forms, such as illumination intensity, a color, and blinking.

  The bus 20 moves along a predetermined route. The bus 20 has a communication device 20a. Similarly, the street light L has a communication device. In FIG. 1, only the communication device 41 a provided in the street lamp 41 is illustrated, but other street lamps similarly have the communication device.

  For example, when the bus 20 moves within a predetermined distance from the street light 41, the communication device 41a of the street light 41 communicates with the communication device 20a of the bus 20. Communication between the bus 20 and the nearest street light 41 may be started by transmitting a communication request from the street light 41 side to the bus 20 or may be autonomously started from the bus 20 side.

  The street lamp L is assigned with a street lamp ID for identifying the street lamp. The bus 20 is assigned a bus ID for identifying the bus.

The street lamps 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 61 can wirelessly communicate with the server 10 via the network 50.

  Through communication between the bus 20 and the communication device of each street light L, each communication device receives a bus ID. Each communication device transmits passage information including the bus ID and its street lamp ID to the server 10. As a result, the server 10 grasps the passage status of the bus 20 (for example, the current position of the bus, the scheduled passage time, and in which direction the bus 20 is scheduled to travel). The server 10 performs control so as to change the emission color and blinking of the street lamp L on the route through which the bus 20 passes according to the passing situation of the bus 20.

  Thereby, according to the instruction | indication from the server 10, according to the passage condition of the bus | bath 20, the lighting form of the several street lamp L is controlled. As a result, it is possible to notify the user of the bus arrival schedule and the information of the optimum landing point. The bus 20 is an example of a moving body that moves along a specific route. The moving body is not limited to a bus, and may be a tram or a car that moves along a predetermined route.

[Server function configuration]

(Street light lighting control table)
FIG.5 and FIG.6 is a figure which shows an example of the street lamp lighting control table 17 which concerns on one Embodiment. The street lamp lighting control table 17 stores a plurality of street lamp IDs in order according to the bus route. The street lamp lighting control table 17 stores the scheduled passage time and lighting mode (lighting color, blinking) of passing through the section between one street lamp and the next street lamp indicated by the street lamp ID. The street light described as passing at the scheduled passage time indicates that the bus has already passed through the street light, and for example, null may be stored. A street light described as out of route at the scheduled passage time indicates that the bus does not move along the route on which the street light is arranged, and for example, null may be stored.

  In the street lamp lighting control table 17a1 of FIG. 5A, when the scheduled passage time of the street lamp 41 of the street lamp ID 41 is set to 0, the scheduled passage time of each other street lamp indicated by each street lamp ID and each The lighting color and flashing of the street lamp are stored. Here, when the scheduled passage time of the street lamp 41 of the street lamp ID 41 is 0, the bus 20 with the bus ID “123” is passing the street lamp ID 41.

  In the street lamp lighting control table 17a2 of FIG. 5 (b), the bus 20 passes through the street lamp 41 of the street lamp ID 41 and then passes through the street lamp 42 of the street lamp ID 42. The scheduled passage time of other street lamps and the lighting color and flashing of each street lamp are stored. The time when passing the street light 42 of the street light ID 42 means when the scheduled passage time is zero.

  In the street lamp lighting control table 17a3 of FIG. 5C, the bus 20 passes through the street lamp 42 with the street lamp ID 42 and then passes through the street lamp 43 with the street lamp ID 43.

(Threshold table)
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the threshold table 18 according to an embodiment. In the threshold value table 18, the lighting color of the street lamp corresponding to the time in the range set as the scheduled passage time is set. For example, the threshold value table 18 sets the lighting color to red when the scheduled passage time is 0 to 1000 (s). That is, when the street light L is lit red, it indicates that there is a bus nearby and the bus 20 passes through the street light L within a range of about several minutes to about 15 minutes.

  The threshold value table 18 sets the lighting color to yellow when the scheduled passage time is 1000 to 2000 (s). That is, when the street light L is lit in yellow, it indicates that the bus 20 passes through the street light L within a range of about 15 minutes to about 30 minutes. If the user of the street light control system 1 according to the present embodiment arrives at the bus stop in the direction in which the street light L is lit in yellow within 15 minutes, the user will be in time for the bus 20 to arrive at the bus stop. This indicates that it is expected that the user can get on the bus 20.

  The threshold value table 18 sets the lighting color to white when the estimated passage time is 2000 (s). That is, when the street light L is lit in white, it indicates that it takes about 30 minutes or more for the bus 20 to pass through the street light L. When the street light L is lit in white, it takes about 30 minutes or more for the bus 20 to arrive, after the bus 20 passes, or a street light that is not on the route of the bus 20 is normally lit. It means that it is lit in the form. However, the lighting color indicating that the bus 20 has passed may be a color other than white. Similarly, the normal lighting form of the street lamp that is not on the route of the bus 20 may be a color other than white.

  Although not set in the threshold table 18, the blinking red in FIGS. 5 and 6 indicates the street light L that the bus 20 passes within 15 minutes and the bus in the vicinity of the street light L. Indicates that there is a stop. Therefore, if the user goes to the corresponding street light L within a few minutes, the user can know that there is a high possibility that the user can get on the bus 20 at a nearby bus stop. can do. Further, blinking yellow indicates that the street light L passes by the bus 20 within a range of about 15 minutes to about 30 minutes and that there is a bus stop in the vicinity of the street light L.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the communication unit 12 receives the passage information including the bus ID and its own street lamp ID from the street lamp L. The specifying unit 13 specifies the bus 20 identified by the bus ID included in the passage information.

  The determination unit 14 refers to the storage unit 11 that stores the bus operation information table 16 that identifies a plurality of street lamps L on the moving route for each bus 20, and refers to the plurality of street lamps on the identified bus 20 route. The passing situation in each of L is determined. The control part 15 controls the lighting form of the several street lamp L on a path | route according to a passage condition.

[Functional structure of street light]
Next, an example of a functional configuration of the street lamp L according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the street lamp L according to an embodiment. All the street lights L have the same functional configuration. Therefore, here, the function of one street lamp L will be described.

  The street lamp L includes a storage unit 31, a communication unit 32, a lighting control unit 33, and a lighting unit 34. The memory | storage part 31 memorize | stores the street light ID35 and the illumination control program 36 which are identification information of an own streetlight. The illumination control program 36 is a program for executing an illumination control process.

  When the communication unit 32 receives a bus ID transmitted by the bus 20 traveling on a specific route, the communication unit 32 transmits passage information including the received bus ID and its own street lamp ID to the server 10. The lighting control unit 33 controls the lighting of its own street lamp L based on the control signal received from the server 10. The illumination unit 34 emits light and blinks according to the control of the lighting control unit 33.

[Hardware configuration of street light]
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the street lamp L according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the street lamp L according to the embodiment. All the street lights L have the same hardware configuration. Therefore, here, the hardware configuration of one street lamp L will be described.

  The street light L according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 24, a memory 21, a communication I / F 22, and a light 23. The CPU 24 controls the lighting of the street lamp L based on the control signal received from the server 10.

Moreover, the function of the communication part 32 is realizable by communication I / F22, for example. Moreover, the function of the memory | storage part 31 is realizable with the memory 21, for example.

[Lighting control processing by street light]
Next, an example of the illumination control process by the street lamp according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of lighting control processing by a street lamp according to an embodiment. The lighting control process is executed by each of the plurality of street lamps. All street lamps L perform the same lighting control process. Therefore, here, the lighting control process performed by one street lamp L will be described.

  The lighting control process is started when each of the plurality of street lamps L receives a lighting control request that the bus 20 requests to start autonomously. For example, when the bus 20 and the street light L communicate in the area, this communication may be started by transmitting a communication request from the street light L side, or by broadcasting a bus ID from the bus 20 side. The communication with the street lamp L side that received the bus ID may be started.

  When the lighting control process is started, the communication unit 32 of the street lamp L receives the bus ID (step S10). As a communication format transmitted from the bus 20 to the street lamp L, an example shown in FIG. Thereby, the bus ID for identifying the bus 20 is sent to the street lamp L.

  Next, the communication unit 32 transmits the street lamp ID 35 and the bus ID stored in the storage unit 31 to the server 10 via the network 50 (step S12). As a communication format transmitted from the street light L to the server 10, an example shown in FIG. As a result, the bus ID and its own street lamp ID 35 are sent from the street lamp L to the server 10.

  Next, the lighting control unit 33 determines whether a control signal is received from the server 10 (step S14). When the lighting control unit 33 has not received a control signal from the server 10, the lighting control unit 33 repeats the process of step S14. If it is determined that the control signal has been received from the server 10, the lighting control unit 33 acquires control information included in the control signal (step S16). The control signal is broadcast from the server 10 to a plurality of street lamps L.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of control information transmitted from the server 10 to the street lamp L according to an embodiment. In the control information, a lighting color and blinking are set for each street lamp ID.

  Returning to FIG. 11, next, the lighting control unit 33 extracts control information corresponding to its own street lamp ID from the control information, and controls the lighting color and blinking as the lighting mode corresponding to the extracted control information (step S18) This process is terminated.

  As a result, in the example of FIG. 13, when the street light ID is 41, 42, or 44, the illumination unit 34 changes the lighting color of the light 23 to red. If the street light ID is 43, the light 23 is red and blinks.

  When the bus 20 moves and communicates with a new street light L, the lighting control process of the above procedure is executed again as a trigger, and the street light L is based on the control information newly transmitted from the server 10. Lighting is controlled.

[Street light control processing by server]
Next, an example of street light control processing by the server according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a street lamp control process according to an embodiment, and is executed by the server 10.

  When this process is started, the communication unit 12 receives passage information including the street lamp ID 35 and the bus ID from each street lamp L (step S30). Next, the specifying unit 13 specifies the current position of the bus 20 with the received bus ID from the street lamp ID 35 included in the received passage information (step S32). However, the current position is an example of a passing situation in each of the plurality of street lamps L on the identified bus 20 route. The specifying unit 13 obtains a passing point or a passing state of the bus from the bus operation information table 16 and the street lamp ID.

  Next, the determination unit 14 refers to the bus operation information table 16, determines the scheduled passage time in another street light L from the information on the current position of the bus 20 with the bus ID, and stores the street light lighting control table 17. The scheduled passage time is updated (step S34). The determination unit 14 may refer to the bus operation information table 16 and determine the scheduled passage time in another street light L according to the passage point or passage state of the bus 20 with the bus ID. The scheduled passage time is an example of a passing situation in each of the plurality of street lamps L on the identified route of the bus 20.

  Next, the determination unit 14 determines the emission color and blinking of each street light L on the route of the bus 20 with reference to the scheduled passage time and threshold value table 18 and the bus stop nearest flag in the bus operation information table 16. Based on the determined result, the determination unit 14 updates the lighting color and blinking control information for each street lamp ID in the street lamp lighting control table 17 (step S36).
