According to the present invention, there is provided a multi-function pole device in a road traffic system, comprising: a radio antenna, a beacon, a lighting device, an imaging device, and a notification device. A device, an emergency telephone device, a main control device connected to each of the devices, an uninterruptible power supply connected to each of the devices, and a base unit having the respective devices integrated and having an earthquake-resistant structure. It was made.

[2] The multifunctional pole device in the road traffic system according to the above [1], wherein the beacon and the lighting device are arranged on a combined arm. [3] The multi-function pole device in the road traffic system according to [1], wherein the notification device includes an information display panel and a speaker. [4] The multifunctional pole device for a road traffic system according to [1], wherein the base has an emergency space.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a multifunctional pole device showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a multifunctional pole device showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in these figures, the multi-function pole device 10 is arranged along a road 1 (for example, a broad standard road or a general road). The multi-function pole device 10 includes an antenna 11 for performing wireless communication,
Beacon 12 for providing traffic information such as ICS
A lighting device 13, a display panel 14 as a notification device,
A public information speaker 15, an imaging device (for example, an ITV camera) 16, an emergency telephone device 17, a main control device 18 connected to each of the above-described facilities, and an uninterruptible power supply 19 connected to each of the above-described facilities. It is concentrated in.

Here, the beacon 12 and the illuminating device 13 are arranged on a combined arm 10A. The base portion of the multi-function pole device 10 has an emergency space 20 and an information box 21 provided with a particularly earthquake-resistant structure. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a highly reliable multifunctional pole device with increased device strength, and to be a temporary mini-camp base having basic road information (receiving and transmitting and autonomous) in a specific area. And a single pole device can perform many functions. In other words, it can be used as a mini information base in the event of a disaster.

For example, the display panel 14 can display information about an emergency. In addition, ITV camera 16
Can obtain video information at the time of disasters and accidents, and can obtain video for traffic monitoring during normal times, and can obtain local traffic information such as VICS by transmitting it to an information center (not shown). it can. Furthermore, the emergency telephone device 17
By using both a wireless system connected to the wireless antenna 11 and a wired system (information BOX), it is possible to avoid non-communication on a communication line at the time of disaster or the like.

The uninterruptible power supply 19 normally uses a commercial AC 100 V, and in the event of a disaster, a battery, a small generator (with a prime mover), and a solar cell arranged in the multifunction pole device are used in the event of a disaster. be able to. Further, since the emergency space 20 is provided on the base having the earthquake-resistant structure, a space for a mini mobile station and an emergency vehicle can be secured.

Further, the multifunctional pole device of the present invention can be installed in the vicinity of a refuge area to serve as an activity base in the event of a disaster in that area. Such a multi-function pole device 10 is systematically arranged facing the road 1. In this way, the following effects can be obtained by arranging the integrated multifunctional pole device from the viewpoint of the road traffic system.

(1) It is convenient for the user, and can be used as an information base at the time of disaster, and the cost per facility can be reduced. (2) Public / communication function for road users and residents in normal / emergency situations. (3) By installing an emergency power supply, it can be used as an information base even in the event of a disaster or power outage.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible based on the spirit of the present invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.
