Description

Apparatus and method for controlling means of transportation

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle, and more particularly, measures movement / operation / status information of a vehicle and converts the electronic signal into an electronic signal, and then transmits and processes it to a vehicle and a machine within a control range. The present invention relates to a vehicle control device and a method for controlling the vehicle by means of information from surrounding vehicles and machinery so that the machine and machine, machine and human communication can be more accurately and quickly. .

Everything on earth is in motion. Animals, including humans, consume food and use it to generate energy and exercise under the control of the brain or human body. Plants consume sunlight, carbon dioxide, etc., different from animals, but generate and exercise energy according to similar mechanisms.

The same is true of man-made machines. Some use petroleum, and some use electricity as energy source to generate energy and use power to exercise through human or machine program control.

All of these interact and live on Earth. Communication is a prerequisite for mutual coexistence. Harm to humans is beyond reason for the existence of machines, and humans and machines should lead positive interactions through continuous communication. One way to do this is to make various rules that can be controlled by humans, which makes humans more healthy and comfortable.

On the other hand, the machine can be largely divided into two uses, one for convenience (automotive, airplane, cleaner, air conditioner, etc.) to make human life more comfortable, and the other for manufacturing (other than the robot arm of the factory).

In the machine field as described above, a small number of overall controls, for example, turning off the entire power source, can be done in the control room, but most of the detailed control of these machines must be made in front of each machine and used as an adjustment panel. In the case of a malfunction, it is possible to check all the machines one by one or only monitor a limited number of functions. Therefore, the integrated control of many machines is required.

In addition, it demonstrates below with the typical automobile for convenience use.

First, let's think about driving out of the road. If you don't have traffic laws and drive your own way, you'll probably get a big traffic accident. Therefore, the driver is taught traffic laws, and various laws are made to restrict driving. Under current technology, the car is still unable to exercise on its own and is controlled by the driver. After all, in order to move comfortably in a car, the driver and the car and other cars must interact, and for this purpose, each car and the driver in the car must constantly communicate according to prescribed rules. These roles include brake pedals, accelerator pedals, flashing left and right, rear lights and horns.

To maximize the interaction, accuracy and speed must be premised. They do the same thing and do not send different signals. Also, don't give a signal when it's too late to respond. In essence, we must study how machines and humans can communicate faster and more accurately.

All the machines that humans operate, such as cars, motorcycles, and airplanes, do not know how or how to operate them unless they are the ones who control them. In this state, the traffic system cannot be maintained without knowing the intention of the other party, so it sends a kind of signal such as flashing for us to understand. Of course, when people around you notice the blinking signal, it will be some time after the driver controls the car, and if this signal is too late or not at all, a big accident can happen.

Cars have a number of actions that affect surrounding vehicles, including flashing left and right, brakes, and Excel. We are driving in response to this signal because we don't know how the cars around us are moving on the road.

It is important to maintain a safe distance because cars move at high speeds, but it is almost impossible to maintain a safe distance while driving. In addition, the impact of one accident leads to a long period of congestion, resulting in a large amount of damage from one accident.

The technology disclosed so far has attempted to obtain and eliminate this risk by providing a simple measure of the physical and consistent distance between the two cars and providing this information.

However, it is true that there was a limit to fundamentally reducing accidents of cars. The problem is not in maintaining the distance between cars. If you're traveling at the same speed, it doesn't matter if the distance is between 5 meters or 1 meter. What matters is how much the front vehicle brakes, how slow it is, and how fast it accelerates by pressing the accelerator, ie how fast it perceives and reacts. The braking information of the surrounding vehicles and the required braking distance according to the speed are more important than the mere vehicle distance. In addition, even if a sufficient distance is secured, if the driver's response is slow, proper response is also difficult.

In other words, in a conventional car (hereinafter, referred to as a vehicle), there is a problem that a running car always has a risk of an accident because the driver of the driving car cannot know the information of surrounding vehicles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its object is to quickly transmit information of a moving means while driving by converting an operation signal such as an excel, brake, left and right flashing of a moving means such as a vehicle into an electronic signal, and The vehicle, which is in the place where the operation signal of the vehicle is affected, receives the signal to comprehensively observe / determine the state of the surrounding vehicle, and uses this information to safely control the vehicle without blind spots or to use human.

In this case, the receiving unit 710 may receive state information from a mechanical device such as a traffic light or a traffic terminal installed within a control range capable of transmitting and receiving data centering on the current position of the moving means. At this time, the peripheral movement means receives the state information including the driving state of the mechanical device.

The detector 720 detects state information of the moving means. That is, the detector 720 detects state information including the moving speed, the current position, the driving direction, and the propulsion information of the moving means in which the moving means control device 700 is installed.

That is, the analysis unit 730 analyzes the state information including the moving speed, the current position, the driving direction, and the propulsion information of the surrounding objects and provides them to the determination unit 740.

The determination unit 740 determines whether a risk of the moving means occurs based on the state information of the moving means and the peripheral moving means. That is, the determination unit 740 determines whether a danger of the moving means occurs based on the state information of the one or more peripheral moving means received by the receiving unit 710 and the state information of the moving means detected by the detecting unit 720. The determination unit 740 may determine whether a risk of the moving means occurs based on the state information of the peripheral object received from the analyzing unit 730 and the state information of the moving means detected by the detecting unit 720.

The alarm unit 760 may be controlled to output information. Here too much information can confuse the display or the user. Therefore, the controller 750 may limit the amount of received information. For example, the control unit 750 controls to output only the status information of the peripheral moving means (or mechanical device) within a distance of approximately 1 km from the moving means, or sets the number of peripheral moving means (or peripheral machine devices) to be displayed. It may be limited.

The transmitter 770 transmits the status information of the means of movement and whether or not a risk occurs to a terminal such as a vehicle control apparatus 700 installed in the peripheral movement means, a mobile communication terminal, an intelligent traffic terminal, a black box, and the like. That is, the transmitting unit 770 transmits the unspecified number of terminals under the control of the control unit 750 so as to receive the status information of the mobile unit and whether or not a risk occurs. Of course, the transmitter 770 may transmit the status information of the moving means and whether or not a risk occurs only to a specific terminal under the control of the controller 750.

The storage unit 780 stores state information of the moving means, the peripheral moving means, and the surrounding object. That is, the storage unit 780 stores the state information received from the movement control device 700 of the peripheral movement means through the receiver 710.

The storage unit 780 stores analysis information based on determining whether a peripheral object is a mechanical device. That is, the storage unit 780 stores the analysis information including the temperature distribution set value, the moving state set value.

The storage unit 780 stores a risk setting value which is a reference for determining whether a risk of a moving means occurs. That is, the storage unit 780 sets a single risk setting value reflecting the movement speed, the current position, the driving direction, and the propulsion information, or sets a plurality of risks respectively reflecting the movement speed, the current position, the driving direction, and the propulsion information. You can also store the value.

Referring to FIG. 5, the apparatus for controlling a vehicle according to the present invention includes a sensor for measuring all objects within a control range, a sensor for determining whether an object within the control range is a mechanical device, an animal, or other type, and an object such as a human. A sensor unit 111 including a sensor for analyzing a moving trajectory of an object in the case of an animal; A receiver 113 capable of receiving a synchro or an electronic signal when the object is a mechanical device; A measurement unit 115 capable of measuring operation information of the traveling vehicle with control information such as speed; A switching unit 116 for converting the measured operation information into an electronic signal; A transmitter 112 for transmitting the converted electronic signal; A determination unit 120 for determining a risk by using, utilizing, or simulating information received from another vehicle; A controller 114 for controlling the vehicle by integrating various kinds of information; A linking unit 119 for expanding, using, and controlling information in association with other machines such as navigation and mobile phones; An external output device 121 such as a monitor and a speaker capable of informing the driver of the received information; Characterized in that it comprises a check unit 118 for checking the operating state of the system.

Reference numeral 117 denotes a storage unit for storing various operation information, and 122 denotes an auxiliary device such as a navigation device.

Referring to FIG. 6, a method of controlling a vehicle by controlling a vehicle through information from a vehicle and other apparatuses according to the present invention first identifies a moving object within a control range and provides status and operation information through a method such as an information synchro. Receive (S2). The control range may be, for example, a range capable of transmitting and receiving wireless signals and sensing through a sensor unit.

After that, the operation information of the vehicle is measured and quantified (S4). This process is a process of measuring and quantifying operation information of another vehicle received within the control range.

Thereafter, the operation information of the vehicle is converted into an electronic signal and transmitted (S6). This process is to transfer the information of one's vehicle to another vehicle.

Thereafter, the electronic signal of the surrounding vehicle is received (S8). This process is a process of continuously receiving electronic signals of other peripheral vehicles.

Thereafter, the received electronic signal is represented by an external output device (S10).

After that, the vehicle is appropriately controlled (S12).

The vehicle 1 transmits and receives signals from the vehicle 2, and the vehicle 1 receives and quantifies the signals from the vehicle 2 and the other vehicles received, and displays them appropriately. This enables proper control.

On the other hand, the vehicle 1 is a signal from the pedestrian and the traffic signal display plate, not from the vehicle (these signals are made through the sensor unit, for example, the infrared signal transmitter can identify the pedestrian or the camera through the camera). In the case of receiving the status information based on the received signal and the driver to control the vehicle through the displayed status information.

Referring to FIG. 7, the vehicle 2 200 converts the propulsion and movement information of the vehicle measured according to the degree that the driver presses the accelerator and the brake into an electronic signal and transmits the converted information to the vehicle 1 100. At this time, the error value of the information is periodically verified to ensure the correct transmission of the information.

The vehicle 1 receives a position value of the surrounding vehicle 2 200 and propulsion and movement information to calculate a risk with the vehicle 2 200. Such calculation is performed by the determination unit.

(In case of general machinery)

A device capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals can be installed on all machines, and it can be controlled using this information, and 100% control is achieved by using a machine designed to convert all states of the machine into electronic signals. It will be possible.

Referring to FIG. 8, the vehicle 1 100 may identify a dangerous substance within a vehicle control range (a range that directly affects a dangerous object approaching). Of course it includes the signal from vehicle 2 200.

Hazardous materials can be both in and out of the vehicle. Hazardous materials include machinery, people, train terrain, etc., which can be identified through various sensors such as movement patterns and heat detection at certain times. That is, the machine includes a traffic light 400 and a road situation guide board 420.

In addition, road conditions are included in consideration while driving.

When the vehicle 1 100 is operated, the driver performs various operation control. Apply your brakes, speed up, turn your steering wheel and turn on flashing when you move into the next lane. It is also a kind of operation to stay still while driving. This is because, depending on inertia and acceleration, the car moves at a certain speed even if you take your hand off both the Excel and the brakes while driving. In addition, the driver's drowsiness can be detected.

All of this affects not only you, but also the surrounding vehicles.

All these operations can be measured. If you step on the engine to some extent, it will consume some oil, and the power will increase to some extent, and the speed will change somewhat at the current speed. The braking distance will be measurable for several kilometers.

In addition, even if the driving information does not affect the outside, the internal matters such as brake oil, engine oil and washer fluid may also be measured.

The information thus measured may be transmitted as electronic information to the surrounding vehicles.

A representative risk factor related to driving is the distance between vehicles. The distance between vehicles is also important, but the physical distance between the two vehicles can be different depending on the braking distance. This braking distance is most important how the preceding vehicle stops at a constant speed, stops suddenly, and how fast the speed depends on how much the driver of the preceding vehicle brakes with Excel. After all, the sooner you know this, the more efficiently you can use your car distance.

Therefore, the information measured above should be transmitted to the surrounding vehicles as signals that can communicate with each other, such as Bluetooth and RF signals.

The signal transmitted from the surrounding vehicles may express the speed, the driving direction, and the influence of the preceding vehicle through the determination unit and the control unit through external output devices such as a speaker, a navigation system, and an automotive dashboard. It can also be connected to mobile phones and intelligent traffic terminals by connecting to the linkage device.

As a result, unlike the conventional method of only checking the physical distance from the vehicle in front of the vehicle, the driving state of all vehicles within a certain range can be freed from being completely dependent on the five senses of the human being without being affected by the situation such as the weather. For example, in order to drive now, there are blind spots, so you have to look in different mirrors and turn your head several times to look around. But now you can judge what's around you without such physical movement.
