Description

Bus stop boarding waiting display system {BUS RIDING NOTIFICATION SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a bus stop waiting display device, and more specifically, to a device that visually displays to a bus driver that there are passengers waiting for the bus at the stop.

Generally, a bus stop is a place where buses stop for passengers to get on and off the bus. The bus stop has a sign indicating that it is a bus stop or is structured in the form of a booth, and the sign usually has the name of the route or route map that passes through the stop.

At quiet bus stops, such as in rural areas and outskirts of cities, passengers often sit on chairs provided at the bus stop and watch or talk on their cell phones while waiting for the bus due to the long dispatch intervals. In these cases, it often happens that the passenger does not notice the bus or the bus driver does not recognize the passenger and just passes by.

In particular, in the case of quiet bus stops, it is difficult to secure visibility during rainy weather, fog, or at night, so bus drivers often pass by without noticing passengers waiting at the bus stop.

Additionally, passengers waiting for a bus at a stop have the inconvenience of having to constantly check to see if the bus is coming, and they often miss the bus because they are looking at their phones without even knowing that the bus has arrived.

The introduction of the Bus Information System (BIS), which began in 2000, has reached 75 out of 162 local governments nationwide (as of 2015), and although it is contributing to improving the convenience and satisfaction of using public transportation, non-stop passing is still not improved, making it an effective system. A solution is urgently needed.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 , the bus stop boarding waiting display device 1000 according to the present invention includes a waiting passenger confirmation unit 100, a bus detection unit 200, and a waiting passenger notification unit 300.

The waiting passenger confirmation unit 100 detects the number of people waiting to board the bus stop (T).

The bus detection unit 200 detects route buses (B, B1, B2, B3) approaching the bus stop (T).

The waiting passenger notification unit 300 provides information about the presence or absence of waiting passengers on route buses (B, B1, B2, B3) approaching the bus stop (T).

The waiting passenger notification unit 300 is simply implemented in the form of a lamp, and can notify whether there are passengers waiting to board at the corresponding bus stop (T) by whether or not it lights up.

In order to deliver more diverse information, it is preferable that the waiting passenger notification unit 300 be implemented in the form of a display panel.

The waiting passenger confirmation unit 100 includes a direct detection module 110 and a user interface module 120.

The direct detection module 110 is placed at the bus stop (T) and checks the presence or absence of people waiting at the stop using a sensor method.

The direct detection module 110 is installed inside the bus stop and includes a motion detection sensor 111 that detects movement and an image processor ( 112) may include at least one of the following.

Through the direct detection module 110, it is possible to recognize that a passenger waiting to board is located at the bus stop (T) without any operation.

The user interface module 120 is placed at a bus stop, and receives input as to whether or not to board a bus for a specific route through the operation of a person waiting at the stop.

The user interface module 120 is provided with route information (bus number) of the bus operating at the corresponding bus stop (T) and a button for selecting the corresponding route bus.

Passengers waiting to board can input which bus route they are waiting for by operating a button. The user interface module 120 may be implemented in the form of a touch screen or may be implemented in the form of a physical button.

The waiting passenger notification unit 300 is configured so that the driver of the route bus (B, B1, B2, B3) approaching the bus stop (T) can visually check the bus identified by the waiting passenger confirmation unit 100. The display module 310, which displays the presence or absence of people waiting to board the bus at the stop in the form of visual information, and the information provided in the display module 310 are sent to route buses (B, B1, B2, B3) approaching the bus stop (T). It includes an information provision module 320 that provides information directly to the provided information communication terminals 400, 400-1 to 400-3.

In its simplest embodiment, the display module 310 may be implemented in the form of a lighting lamp that can only confirm the “presence/absence” of the passenger, or may be implemented in the form of a display panel to provide more diverse information. Alternatively, it can also be implemented in a way that the identification number of the route bus is displayed in the form of a lamp.

The bus stop waiting-to-board display system (S) according to the present invention is based on the bus stop waiting-to-board display device 1000 in FIG. 1, and is provided on each route bus (B1, B2, B3), and is provided for waiting from the bus stop. It is in the form of a bus terminal 400 that receives information about the presence or absence of passengers and provides it to the bus driver, and a display device provided at the rear of each route bus, and corresponds to another route bus approaching the bus stop along the route bus. It further includes a rear display 500 that provides information regarding the presence or absence of passengers waiting at the bus stop.

If the waiting passenger notification unit 300 provided at the bus stop (T) is not visible from the following bus due to the size of the bus ahead, wait at the corresponding bus stop through the information displayed on the rear display 500 of the bus on the preceding route. You can check the presence or absence of passengers.

As explained in FIG. 3, when multiple route buses arrive at the bus stop (T) in succession, the rear display 500 can be usefully used.

According to the actual embodiment, if the route bus approaching the corresponding stop is adjacent to the set distance by the bus detection unit 200, the information providing module 310 provides information on the number of people waiting for each route to the bus of the nearest route bus. The information is provided to the terminal 400-1, and the bus terminal 400-1 of the bus for the corresponding route can display the remaining information, excluding information on the number of people waiting for the bus for the corresponding route, through the rear display 500.

The embodiments of the present invention disclosed in the specification and drawings are merely provided as specific examples to easily explain the technical content of the present invention and to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein, other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention can be implemented.
