Description

System of providing traffic accident information {SYSTEM OF PROVIDING TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INFORMATION}

The present disclosure relates to a system for providing traffic accident information in order to prevent a secondary traffic accident.

When a vehicle breaks down or a collision occurs while driving, the driver of the accident vehicle must inform the driver of another vehicle of the accident situation in order to prevent a secondary accident. For example, a driver of an accident vehicle may notify the driver of another vehicle of the accident situation by using devices such as an emergency light and a safety tripod installed in the vehicle. However, in the process of installing the safety tripod, there is a tendency that more secondary accidents occur. In particular, in the case of night or rainy weather, the possibility of a secondary accident is very high in the process of installing a safety tripod.

In order to improve these shortcomings, for example, Korean Patent No. 10-1770986 entitled "Wireless electronic system for warning of accidents" filed by Sang Ji-beom and registered on August 18, 2017 It is initiating a wireless electronic system for warning of accidents to minimize secondary damage by disseminating the warning situation by grasping it and by issuing an alarm to drivers and pedestrians approaching from the rear of the accident.

However, in the configuration disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1770986, an accident detection unit including a shock sensor, a noise meter, and a heat sensor must be installed on the road at regular intervals, so the accident is detected and the accident situation is notified to drivers. There is a drawback in that it requires a huge investment in order to inform, and the warning can be issued only at the point where the warning light is installed.

In addition, for example, Korean Patent No. 10-1931298 entitled "Secondary Expressway Accident Prevention Method and Server Performing It" filed by Sunflowers Co., Ltd. and registered as of December 14, 2018 It is launching a secondary accident prevention server on the highway that can recognize accidents in advance and notify drivers.

The configuration disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1770986 has a disadvantage in that it is necessary to modify the AVN system mounted on the vehicle, since it is essential that the configuration is interlocked with the audio video navigation (AVN) system of the vehicle to inform the accident occurrence point.

In addition, for example, Korean Patent No. 10-1782837 entitled "Secondary traffic accident prevention system using mobile terminal and its control method" filed by Kim Young-geun and registered as of September 22, 2017 When installing and detecting an accident while driving, it checks the presence or absence of an accident, and immediately transmits the accident information to all mobile terminals on which the app is installed using the mobile communication network, and the location of the accident is immediately identified, and the GPS value based on the transmitted accident information By calculating the accident location within a preset distance, and notifying the driver that the accident location is approaching through all mobile terminals installed with the corresponding app, so that the vehicle has a structure that can prevent a secondary accident. The second traffic accident prevention system is being launched.

However, the configuration disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1782837 can transmit accident information only to a driver having a mobile terminal with an app installed, and it is difficult for the driver to easily check the accident information while driving. There is a disadvantage that the possibility of a secondary accident may increase because attention is distracted.

Hereinafter, the operation processing unit 150 will be described in more detail.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a process performed by an operation processing unit of a system for providing traffic accident information according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the change in speed obtained from the acceleration sensor 130 satisfies a predetermined condition, the operation processing unit 150 performs a process S110 of determining that a traffic accident has occurred.

For example, when the speed is changed from 100 km/h to a stopped state in a very short time, and when the stopped state is maintained for a predetermined time or longer, the operation processing unit 150 determines that a traffic accident has occurred through the process S110.

According to this embodiment, even without obtaining vehicle information from a sensor (not shown) disposed in the vehicle, if the change in speed obtained from the acceleration sensor 130 satisfies a predetermined condition, it is determined that a traffic accident has occurred. I can. Therefore, it is possible to simply determine whether a traffic accident has occurred without adding a configuration for communication with a sensor disposed in the vehicle.

Meanwhile, in order to more accurately determine whether a traffic accident has occurred, the process S110 may include processing for determining that a traffic accident has occurred only when there is no response to the confirmation message generated based on a change in speed.

That is, even when the stop state is maintained for a predetermined time or longer after the sudden stop, there is a case where no traffic accident has occurred. Therefore, for example, the operation processing unit 150 sends a confirmation message such as "Is there a traffic accident? Please answer with'Yes' or'No'" using a speaker (not shown) of the mobile communication terminal 150 When output, and a response to this, for example, a voice input such as "no" from the driver is received, it is determined that no traffic accident has occurred. On the other hand, if the response is not received within a certain time after outputting the confirmation message, the operation processing unit 150 may determine that a traffic accident has occurred.

In addition, if the mobile communication terminal 100 is already configured to obtain vehicle information from the sensor through IoT communication with a sensor (not shown) installed in the vehicle, in order to more accurately determine whether a traffic accident has occurred, the process S110 is The processing of determining that a traffic accident has occurred may be included only when the vehicle information obtained from the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition.

For example, if the stop state is maintained for more than a predetermined time after the sudden stop and the vehicle information indicates a state such as damage to the vehicle, the calculation processing unit 150 may determine that a traffic accident has occurred.

Referring back to FIG. 2, when it is determined that a traffic accident has occurred in the processing S110, the operation processing unit 150 obtains a traffic accident message and transmits the traffic accident message to the output device 200 using the terminal communication unit 110. The processing S120 is performed.

More specifically, processing S120 may include processing of obtaining the traffic accident message based on a user input. The driver, that is, the user of the mobile communication terminal 100, inputs a message such as "danger-traffic accident occurrence" through the mobile communication terminal 100, and the operation processing unit 150 obtains a traffic accident message through the user input. I can.

In addition, processing S120 may include processing of designating a previously stored message as a traffic accident message. That is, when the driver is injured and cannot input a message, the operation processing unit 150 designates a message stored in the mobile communication terminal 100 in advance, such as "traffic accident occurrence-access prohibited" as a traffic accident message, Traffic accident messages can be acquired.

Hereinafter, processing that can be additionally performed by the operation processing unit will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary process performed by an operation processing unit of a system for providing traffic accident information according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, when it is determined that a traffic accident has occurred in the processing S110, the operation processing unit 150 includes current location information obtained by the position sensor 170 and identification information of the mobile communication terminal 100 or identification information of the vehicle. Process S130 of transmitting to a predetermined server by using the terminal communication unit 110 may be further performed. For example, if the identification information of the vehicle can be checked based on the identification information of the mobile communication terminal 100, the identification information of the vehicle may not be transmitted to the server, and the identification of the mobile communication terminal 100 based on the identification information of the vehicle If the information can be confirmed, the identification information of the mobile communication terminal 100 may not be transmitted. The predetermined server is, for example, a server operated by an agency such as a road construction, a police station, or an insurance company, and is a device configured to perform a function of receiving a traffic accident or receiving insurance processing.

When a traffic accident occurs, according to the present embodiment, information such as the location of the traffic accident and identification information of the vehicle may be automatically transmitted to the related organization through the processing S130.

Referring back to FIG. 3, the operation processing unit 150 outputs a process S140 of receiving a guide message through the terminal communication unit 110 from a predetermined guide message providing server (not shown) and a guide message through the terminal communication unit 110. The process S150 transmitted to the device 200 may be further performed.

That is, even if a traffic accident has not occurred in a vehicle driven by the user of the mobile communication terminal 100, an important guidance message, for example, a guidance message indicating that a traffic accident has occurred may be output.

The guide message providing server is operated by an agency such as road construction or police, for example, and is a device configured to transmit a guide message to be output through the output device 200 to the mobile communication terminal 100.

The controller 250 may control the device communication unit 210 and the display unit 230 to receive a guide message through the device communication unit 210 and output a guide message through the display unit 230.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the operation processing unit 150 may further perform processing S160 of displaying traffic accident processing information on the terminal display unit 190.

Accordingly, even when the driver has a traffic accident, the operation processing unit 150 may display traffic accident processing information on the terminal display unit 190 to assist the driver in calmly handling the traffic accident.

As described above, the output device 200 may further include an audio output unit 270. The control unit 250 may preferably control the sound output unit 270 to output a warning sound when receiving a traffic accident message.

5 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary configuration of a display unit of a system for providing traffic accident information according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the display unit 230 may include a fixed information display unit 233 configured in a tripod shape and a message information display unit 236 configured to display traffic accident messages in a scroll manner.

That is, in order to more reliably display the occurrence of a traffic accident to other drivers, the display unit 230 may include a fixed information display unit 233 configured in the shape of a safety tripod. For example, the fixed information display unit 233 may be implemented using a red LED, and may display a tripod shape in a flashing manner.

Meanwhile, in order to display a traffic accident message, the display unit 230 may include a message information display unit 236. The message information display unit 236 may display, for example, a message such as "a traffic accident occurred-no access". The message information display unit 236 may display a traffic accident message in a flashing manner.
