Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a traffic division control method for controlling the traffic divisions of traffic including trackless vehicles and pedestrians.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, traffic lanes have been divided for vehicles and pedestrians based on certain rules stipulated in the Road Traffic Act.

Figures 4 and 5 show vehicle traffic divisions on roads. Generally, a road has a center line drawn in the center of the road, as shown in the figures, and there are up and down lanes on either side of the center line.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the vehicle traffic classification is indicated by painting or nailing the road with studs.

In this case, when the road is wide, there are two or more lanes on each side, and when the road is narrow, there is one lane on each side.

In some cases, lane markings may be partially changed depending on the time of day.

By the way, conventional traffic divisions are always fixed by paint or studs displayed on the road, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

As shown in FIG. 6, the road display may prohibit changing the road.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 7, if vehicles flow out from branch fa B+ and merge into main line A, and vehicles flow out from main line A, upbound traffic will become congested in sections A2 and A3 of main line A. However, in section A of %A, the traffic volume is normal, so if the outbound lane is not congested,
Between section A3 of main line A, it would be suitable if there were three up lanes and one down lane.

However, the sensors in each section only detect the traffic jam situation, but do not avoid the traffic jam.

On the other hand, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the traffic divisions for pedestrians are fixedly displayed on the road with paint or tacks, just like the traffic divisions for vehicles, and do not change regardless of the traffic volume or time of day. .

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As explained above, conventional traffic divisions are fixedly displayed by bolts nailed to the road or painted on the road, so it is not possible to easily change the traffic division. , it was not possible to flexibly respond to congestion caused by changes in traffic volume, etc.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a traffic classification control method for alleviating traffic congestion and the like.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the traffic classification control method according to the present invention includes a detection means 1 for detecting traffic volume, a changing means 2 for changing the traffic classification, and a traffic state that is grasped based on the detection by the detection means 1. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a control means 3 for controlling the above-mentioned changing means 2, and changes the traffic classification depending on the traffic volume.

[Effect]

The detection means 1 of this invention detects the traffic volume, and the changing means 2 changes the traffic classification.

Here, the control means 3 controls the changing means 2 based on the detection of traffic volume by the detection means 1, and changes the traffic classification according to the traffic volume.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a detection means for detecting traffic volume, 2 is a changing means for changing the traffic classification, and 3 is a block diagram for detecting traffic based on the detection by the detection means 1. This is a control means that controls the changing means 2 by grasping the state of the change means 2.

Here, the detection means 1 is comprised of a sensor that detects the movement of a vehicle or a person, such as an ultrasonic sensor or an infrared sensor, which is placed appropriately on the road, and the change means 2 is a sign that is placed on the road and whose display changes by rotating. It is made up of light emitting diodes, laser diodes, and other light emitting diodes that notify drivers and pedestrians of traffic divisions by controlling the light emitted from the road surface.

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on FIG.

On a road as shown in Figure 2, if a vehicle flows out from branch line B1, merges into main line A, and then flows out from main line A again to branch line B2, the upward direction in sections A2 and A3 of main line A is Traffic is congested.

At this time, the detection means 1 installed on the road surface of the main line A and the branch lines B, Bt detects the traffic volume of the main line A and the branch lines B+, Bz, and the control means 3 operates based on the detection of the traffic volume by the detection means 1. control the changing means 2 consisting of light emitting sources etc. installed on the road surface to the main line A, and
! , change the A4 traffic classification.

In other words, section A of main line A has three lanes in the up direction and one lane in the down direction.

This traffic classification change will change the center line C+, Cs of sections A, , A, of main line A, the change guidance lines of sections AZ, A4 of main line A, and the lane classification E3 of section A3 of main line A to red. The center line C3 in the section A3 of the main line A is illuminated in white to notify the driver.

In this case, the modified guide line D2 of the sections At and Aa. D.

The emitted light color may be different from the red emitted light color of the center line.

In addition, when the normal state changes to the state after the congestion has been cleared, the lane markings and center line will be flashed and all vehicles in the down lane will move into the lane that will become a one-way lane after the congestion has been cleared in section A3 of the main line A. Take measures such as making adjustments.

On the other hand, when returning to a normal state after dealing with traffic jams, the same emergency measures as above are taken.

In addition, at the same time as changing lanes, the traffic zone, the direction of travel,
When it becomes necessary to change markings or signs related to roads or the like, the control means 3 rotates the signs or changes the characters, etc. on the light-emitting display.

Next, as another embodiment of the present invention, a case will be described in which the pedestrian traffic classification is changed.

As shown in Figure 3, when the traffic classification of a crosswalk is regulated, the sensor serving as the detection means 1 installed at an appropriate location of the crosswalk detects the traffic volume of trackless vehicles. The information is transmitted to the control means 3.

Here, the changing means 2 controls the light emission of light sources provided at appropriate locations on the crosswalk in the same way as explained in the above vehicle embodiment to notify the pedestrian that it is possible to cross diagonally.

In this case, music or audio may be used in addition to traffic lights to notify pedestrians of the change in traffic classification.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, there is a detecting means for detecting traffic volume, a changing means for changing the traffic classification, and controlling the changing means by grasping the traffic state based on the detection by the detecting means. Since the vehicle is equipped with a control means and configured to change the traffic classification depending on the traffic volume, the traffic classification can be changed flexibly in response to changes in the traffic volume, etc., and has the effect of reducing traffic congestion.
