Description

Lighting control system of multi-lane high-pass gantry linked with lane control system}

The present invention relates to a multi-lane high-pass gantry, and more particularly, to a lighting control device for a multi-lane high-pass gantry interlocking with a lane controller.

In general, a Hipass system is operated as a non-stop toll payment method for toll roads (eg, highways). 1 is an explanatory view showing the situation around the toll gate 120 on the highway 100, FIG. 2 is a partial front view of the toll gate 120 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a notice sign 200 shown in FIG. ) is a front view of As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , a system for paying tolls for multiple lanes (eg, 2 to 20) is built in the toll gate 120 .

In particular, the multi-lane high-pass gantry (Gantry, 140) is installed for a plurality of lanes of two or more lanes. The multi-lane high-pass gantry 140 is composed of a horizontal beam crossing a plurality of lanes at the top and a vertical pillar vertically supporting both ends of the horizontal beam. In the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140, a wireless payment terminal is installed in each lane.

In addition, a variable message sign (VMS) 180 is installed above the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140 to provide traffic information for vehicles 160 passing through the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140. .

In addition, the notice sign 200 is installed 1Km in front of the tollgate 120 to inform in advance that the first and second lanes are high-pass lanes.

However, such a conventional system has the following problems.

First, since there is only one variable information sign board 180 for the multi-car high-pass gantry 140, readability and visibility are low. Therefore, it was insufficient to provide the driver with intuitive lane information about the corresponding lane, and the driver could momentarily be confused as to which lane was passable and which lane was closed or blocked.

Also, since the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140 is gray or dark gray, it is difficult to quickly recognize the lane when entering the high-pass lane, especially at night or during rainy weather.

In addition, the conventional notice sign 200 only fixedly guides the high-pass lane through the first-lane arrow 210 and the second-lane arrow 220, so the traffic conditions in the front lane could not be known. As a result, the driver of the vehicle 160 has a problem in that the vehicle is stopped or a weaving phenomenon occurs between vehicles.

Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1881833 (lane control system of non-stop multi-lane high-pass system).

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the first object to be solved by the present invention is to install LED lights on the high-pass gantry of the multi-car so that the driver can improve visibility and quickly recognize the lane. It is to provide a lighting control device for a multi-lane high-pass gantry that is interlocked with a lane controller.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a multi-lane high-pass gantry lighting control device interlocked with a lane controller that allows the traffic conditions of the high-pass lane to be known in advance before entering the plaza of the toll gate by interlocking the notice sign with the lane controller. .

A third object of the present invention is to provide a lighting control device for a multi-lane high-pass gantry that is interlocked with a lane controller that controls a lane controller, a multi-lane high-pass gantry, a variable information sign and a notice sign to interlock.

A fourth object of the present invention is a multi-lane high-pass gantry interlocking with a lane controller that controls a lane controller, a multi-lane high-pass gantry, a variable information sign and a notice sign to be interlocked just by one-clicking a specific lane with a mouse. It is to provide a lighting control device.

However, the technical problems to be achieved in the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned technical problems, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clear to those skilled in the art from the description below. You will be able to understand.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, in a lighting control device for a multi-lane high-pass gantry, the lane controller 195 receives traffic information of a lane and determines a state of the lane based on the traffic information; a plurality of LEDs 142 and 144 installed on one side of the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140 and capable of independently controlling lighting for each lane; a variable information sign 180 installed on the upper part of the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140 and displaying the state of the lane; A notice board 200 installed in front of the multi-lane high-pass gantry 140 and having signs 230 and 240 variably displaying the state of each lane for each lane of the multi-lane; and a controller 190 that controls display contents of the plurality of LEDs 142 and 144, the variable information sign 180, and the notice sign 200 based on the state of the lane of the lane controller 195. A lighting control device for a multi-lane high-pass gantry that is interlocked with a lane controller to be provided.

In addition, multi-lane ranges from 2 to 6 lanes.

Also, the state of the lane is one of a traffic sign 235 permitting the passage of the vehicle 160 and a closed sign 245 prohibiting the passage of the vehicle 160 .

In addition, the variable information sign 180 displays the traffic sign 235 and the closed sign 245 as icons, and further displays the state of the lane as text.

In addition, the plurality of LEDs (142, 144) is at least a primary LED (142) that emits light from the top of the primary road; and a secondary LED 144 emitting light from an upper portion of the secondary pathway.

In addition, the plurality of LEDs 142 and 144 may emit light by varying one of green, blue, and red.

In addition, the signs 230 and 240 of the notice board 200 display the state of the lane as an icon at the top of the corresponding lane.

In addition, when the state of a specific lane is closed, the controller 190 controls the LED of the corresponding lane to emit red light, and the variable information sign 180 is displayed on the upper part of the corresponding lane with the icon of the closed indication 184 and the closed Control is performed to display the relevant lane guide 186, and the sign of the corresponding lane among the notice signs 200 is controlled to display the icon of the closed sign 184.

In addition, the control unit 190 controls the LED of the corresponding lane to emit red light based on the user's input, and the variable information sign 180 is placed at the top of the corresponding lane with the icon of the closing display 184 and the lane information related to closing. 186 is displayed, and the sign of the corresponding lane among the notice signs 200 is controlled to display the icon of the closed sign 184.

At this time, the user's input is accident information input by one-click for a specific lane.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, by installing LED lighting on the high-pass gantry of multi-lane, it is possible to improve the driver's visibility and quickly recognize the lane. Therefore, even in bad weather or at night, the driver can quickly recognize the high-pass lane.

In addition, the traffic conditions of the high-pass lane can be known in advance before entering the plaza of the toll gate by interlocking the notice sign with the lane controller. Therefore, weaving and traffic accidents can be prevented.

In addition, the lane controller, multi-lane high-pass gantry, variable information sign and notice sign are interlocked with one click of the user. Therefore, there is an advantage in that it is possible to quickly provide traffic information and control traffic in the event of an accident.
