Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To fully check the open / closed state of an open / close bar (blocking bar) without checking the sound display of in-vehicle equipment due to the noise in the car, ambient noise and other noises. As a result, many collisions with the open / close bar have occurred. Also, in bad weather and at night, it is difficult to visually check the open / close state of the open / close bar (blocking bar), and many collisions with the open / close bar occur. For this reason, collisions with the open / close bar (blocking bar) of the ETC system, etc. are prevented, and safe passage is ensured.
In order to increase and secure the chance of visually checking the state of the open / close bar (blocking bar) 4 at a toll booth such as an ETC system, the open / close bar (blocking bar) is slightly modified to the existing ETC system. ) And the display system of the optical system that informs that the open / close bar opens.

Description

The present invention relates to a device that assists in passing an ETC system or the like at a safe and appropriate speed by displaying the open / closed state of an open / close bar (blocking bar) at a plurality of locations.

When the information exchange communication between the in-vehicle device and the toll terminal is properly completed, the open / close bar (blocking bar) is then opened to check whether the vehicle is accessible. This is done in two ways: directly or visually confirming the state of the open / close bar.

The acoustic display of the in-vehicle device is not fully heard due to vehicle interior noise, ambient noise, and other noises, and the open / close state of the open / close bar (blocking bar) is not fully visible. As a result, many collisions with the open / close bar have occurred.

In bad weather and at night, it is difficult to visually check the open / close state of the open / close bar (blocking bar), and many collisions with the open / close bar occur.

The confirmation of the open / closed state of the open / close bar (blocking bar) is performed only by the two methods described above.

The present invention is characterized in that a plurality of devices for displaying the open / close state of the open / close bar (blocking bar) are installed on the road surface.

By increasing the chance of visual recognition, there is an advantage that it is possible to prevent a collision accident with the open / close bar (blocking bar), and to secure and promote safety traffic such as an ETC system.

The idea of increasing the chance of visual recognition was possible by adding a small amount of equipment to the existing ETC system and adding it to the existing ETC system.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment 1 in which the present invention is composed of three display devices and two display portions. Reference numerals 1 to 3 denote display devices that display open / closed states. Reference numeral 4 denotes an open / close bar (blocking bar). 5 is a passage. Reference numerals 1 to 3 denote mechanisms that operate in conjunction with 4 when the information exchange communication between the in-vehicle device and the toll terminal device is completed and can be passed.

The display device 1 is installed near the opening / closing bar (blocking bar) device on the driver's seat side, and the display units 1A and 1B are positioned up and down (right and left are also acceptable), and have sufficient brightness so that the visual recognition is easy. It consists of light-emitting members such as LEDs, and has the same red and blue optical systems as traffic signals.

The display devices 2 and 3 are provided in a square or columnar shape at a position that does not obstruct traffic at an easily visible place such as the road surface at the center of the passage, directly under the road surface, or immediately above the road surface. , 3A, and 3B are located on the left and right sides (possible up and down), and the members are the same as those of 1A and 1B.

  When the open / close bar (blocking bar) 4 is in a closed state, the display units 1A, 2A, and 3A of the display devices 1 to 3 are in a lighting state, and display whether or not to pass. At that time, the display units 1B, 2B, and 3B are in a light-off state. When the information exchange communication between the in-vehicle device and the toll terminal device is completed and the vehicle can pass, the display devices 1 to 3 operate in conjunction with the open / close bar (blocking bar) 4 and display units 1A, 2A, And 3A are mechanisms that are turned off, and the display units 1B, 2B, and 3B are turned on to indicate that they can pass.

  FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment in which the present invention is composed of three display devices and one display section. When the open / close bar (blocking bar) 4 is in a closed state, the display unit 6 of the display devices 1 to 3 lights up in red and displays whether or not to pass. When the vehicle is allowed to pass, the display unit 6 changes to a blue light and is a mechanism for displaying that the vehicle can pass. The display unit 6 is provided with a member that alternately emits red and blue light.

  FIG. 2 also shows a third embodiment in which the present invention has three display devices and one display section. When the open / close bar (blocking bar) 4 is in a closed state, the display unit 6 of the display devices 1 to 3 displays a pass / fail indication in the off state. When the vehicle is allowed to pass, the display unit 6 is turned on to indicate that the vehicle can pass. The display unit 6 can also be equipped with a flash-based light emitting member.

It can also be used for doorway applications such as parking lots.

It is explanatory drawing which showed the implementation method. Example 1 It is explanatory drawing which showed the implementation method. (Examples 2 and 3)

Claims (7)

The display devices 1, 2, and 3 are devices that operate in conjunction with the in-vehicle device, the toll terminal device, and the opening / closing bar (blocking bar) 4 and display whether or not traffic is permitted.   The display devices 2 and 3 are installed in a position where the passage is not obstructed at a road surface in the center of the passage, immediately below the road surface, or at a place where it is easily visible.   The display device shall be installed in a square or cylindrical shape.   When the display unit of the display device has two locations (A and B), members that emit red or blue light of the optical system are installed at the left and right or top and bottom positions.   In the case where the display unit of the display device is one place, a member that alternately emits red and blue light of the optical system is installed.   When the display unit of the display device is one place, a member that emits a flash is installed. When the display unit of the display device is one place, a member that emits light is installed.
