Description
The present invention relates to a system including an apparatus for smooth traffic flow in an intersection with many vehicles, and a control method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for controlling a vehicle by adding a camera image processing apparatus, The signal control system actively resolves the traffic congestion as the vehicle progresses smoothly when traffic volume is large by referring to the traffic volume information on the inflow and outflow, and its control method.
In addition, it provides functions such as devices and vehicles utilizing information Internet (IoT), etc. by providing traffic signals and traffic volume at intersections by wireless communication, and accurately receiving intersection signals and traffic volume information using the information
This will enable accurate information to be provided to devices that use traffic information such as navigation systems, automatic driving devices, and driving aids, and can be used as information to be used by future unmanned vehicles (AGV)
In order to utilize traffic volume information through other video devices as information to compensate or replace, the signal control system also includes a method of communicating with a vehicle equipped with Internet (IoT) using wireless communication
This technology can also serve as a black box for cases of illegal parking and tail wagging that cause traffic congestion at an intersection, and it is also possible to transmit information on traffic volume and signal status to a traffic control central server, To be able to provide accurate information.
Generally, the signal control system appearing at an intersection operates a signal system (a straight line, a left turn and a stop at the time of a stop) in a fixed time system in which a signal is converted into a next scheduled signal when a predetermined time elapses, has exist
Therefore, a vehicle waiting at an intersection must wait for a signal change time according to the existing signal system regardless of the traffic volume. Therefore, when there are more vehicles entering the intersection than a traffic volume eliminated by one signal cycle at an intersection, If there is no further advance due to the influence of the preceding intersection, additional traffic will enter the intersection and serious traffic congestion will occur. In other words, there is a tendency to wait for traffic signals at intersections without consideration of traffic volume. Traffic jams in one direction may cause traffic jams in another direction. In this case, when the traffic signal system is above a certain amount of traffic, the effect of the signal interlocking is lost and the situation is repeated. In addition, unnecessary waiting time occurs when there is no vehicle to pass through an intersection or in a situation where there is less vehicle. That is, even when there is no vehicle in the opposite direction or the other direction, there may occur a situation in which a signal is unnecessarily waiting.
In order to compensate for this, recently, there is a case in which the traffic amount is grasped in advance and the straight ahead and the left turn are provided at the same time. In some cases, the detection sensor is embedded at a specific point and only left turn is provided for a certain time Some traffic signaling systems have some changes.
In the case of embedding a sensor on the road, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to perform post-management and additional repair, and adverse effect of causing traffic congestion due to additional maintenance, and a conventional signal In the control system, when the waiting time of the vehicle signal becomes unnecessarily long and traffic jam occurs and even traffic jamming obstructing the smooth lane due to tail water in the intersection occurs, the waiting time of the vehicle is increased. The adverse effect is clear, and it can be a major factor causing air pollution, and the environment will be adversely affected by increasing carbon dioxide emissions.
Real-time image processing and complementary Internet (IoT) communication processing for intersection for straight ahead and left turn By understanding the traffic volume and the amount of traffic after entering the intersection, it is possible to control the traffic volume as quickly and efficiently as possible The mechanism is introduced, and traffic information through communication is provided for a section where traffic congestion occurs, thereby achieving a dispersion effect of traffic volume. In order to accomplish this, in order to compensate for the fact that the traffic signal system is not replaced despite the disadvantage that the signals between the intersections need to be interlocked and the traffic congestion occurs, the signal system newly introduced through the present invention seeks to solve the traffic congestion So that interworking with other intersection signals can be performed automatically and smoothly.
In addition, the system provides wireless electronic signals to be received by public electronic devices to provide information to devices or vehicles using Internet (IoT), so that industries such as unmanned vehicles And to establish a system and a control method that can help to be introduced.
The present invention relates to a control device for a vehicle passing on an intersection using image recognition and an image inputting part for inputting images of a traffic volume and a traffic volume to enter an intersection and an image of a lane pushed after an intersection, (IoT) signal input unit from a vehicle in the vicinity of an intersection and an image input unit for recognizing a vehicle entering the intersection or departing from the intersection or departing from the intersection, The direction indicator information is analyzed to analyze the future driving direction, and the traffic flow departing from the intersection of the traffic volume and the vehicle with reference to the information of the vehicle and the traffic volume waiting in the other lane is smoothly and preferentially controlled And traffic lights to improve the traffic flow considering interlocking signals with other intersections. And a signal control unit for controlling.
Also, a wired or wireless transmitter and an information generating device capable of transmitting the traffic volume, the traffic signal, and the duration of the signal appearing at the intersection of the time, to the vehicle, the pedestrian, the base station, and the like are included.
The present invention relates to a system including an apparatus for smooth traffic flow in an intersection with many vehicles, and a control method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for controlling a vehicle by adding a camera image processing apparatus, Traffic flow information based on the situation recognition based on the situation recognition on the inflow and outflow, the vehicle can smoothly proceed in the case of heavy traffic, and the interlocking signal can be grasped and applied in the signal linkage section, thereby actively resolving the traffic congestion, There is an advantage that time can be reduced.
In addition, by providing traffic signals and traffic volume at intersections by wireless communication, devices and vehicles using the Internet (IoT) can accurately provide intersection signals and traffic volume information using the information, ), There is an advantage of providing accurate information of intersection signal and traffic volume information, and providing accurate information to devices using traffic information such as navigation.
In addition, it is possible to store an image of an incident occurring at an intersection through image storage of a vehicle entering an intersection, thereby performing a black box for a traffic accident. By reducing the vehicle waiting time on the road, There is an advantage that the amount of generated carbon dioxide can be reduced to reduce environmental pollution.

In the case of an interlocking signal of another intersection or an unexpected traffic lag, the road on which the traffic lag occurs is organically controlled so that the lagging factor can be solved. In order to pass smooth intersection of the traffic coming from the adjacent road, The signal period and the start time are organically adjusted 104 so that the signal interlocking can be performed based on the traffic signal and traffic volume received from the
Therefore, unnecessary stopping on the road can be prevented more than the vehicle guidance system using the existing fixed one-way timer, and it can also be introduced to the intersection signal system of the main road which was not introduced due to the vehicle linkage system.
In addition, when the vehicle recognition through the

Referring to FIG. 2A, an orthogonal intersection includes four main signal lamps 106-1 to 104 and four image input units 100-1 to 100-4.
Referring to FIG. 2B, the traffic volume for each direction of the intersection is calculated based on the recognition of the turn indicator of the left-turn vehicle in the traffic
As shown in FIG. 2A, the amount of traffic moving from the right side to the left side is large (106-1 recognition), thereby increasing traffic volume of the traffic light 100-1. However, when the vehicle is waiting to the area 208-3 of FIG. 2B and the intersection is pushed up to the intersection due to an increase in the traffic volume on the right road as shown in FIG. 2A, the straight line signal from left to right, Signal time is not assigned (100-1 prohibited, 100-3 disabled). Also, if the signal is pushed to the 208-2 area of FIG. 2B, the signal should be changed to a caution (yellow). The reason for this is that the vehicle is pushed in the intersection of Fig. 2A to perform aggressive signal control to prevent the situation where the vehicle can not move in the other direction.
If the system fails or is unrecognizable, the

The scale of the traffic volume is recognized through the direction-specific images determined by the image input unit (S302).
If it is determined in step S304 that there is a vehicle by direction (202 and 204), if the amount of traffic is not zero (S306) when there is no waiting vehicle, the standard general traffic volume 202-2, The amount of traffic corresponding to the reference value is allocated S310 and the amount of traffic is decreased S314 when the traffic is below the reference value 202-1 and 204-1, 3, 204-3, and 206), traffic volume is increased (S316) to transmit traffic information.
The traffic volume for each image reference value advanced in the process is stepwise matched (S318). And then transmits the classified traffic volume and image to the
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a
The driving time is determined by allocating a signal based on the traffic volume information per direction received through the
(S406, S408). If it is determined that the traffic volume is within the standard range, the amount of traffic is allocated to the existing driving time maintenance (S406). If the traffic volume is less than the reference value, the driving time is shortened (S410) The travel time is extended (S414) and the traffic information is transmitted. After confirming the image after advancing the vehicle in the traveling direction, if it is pushed to the intersection area (the vehicle stops in 208-3), the traveling time is set to '0' (S416) to prevent traffic in the intersection.
A signal cycle is completed by integrating the travel time of each signal processed in the process (S418).
If the intersection needs to be interlocked with another intersection (S420), if it is interlocked smoothly with the adjacent intersection signal through the
The integrated final signal cycle controls the signal light.
As described above, according to the present invention, the amount of traffic queued at an intersection at a traffic light position is checked to provide smooth vehicle communication. In other words, by actively controlling the signal according to the amount of traffic, traffic jam is resolved first, and traffic is smoothly provided. Especially, it is considered that it will be effective to increase the road traffic rate and reduce the incidence of car accidents by making it operate flexibly according to the traffic of the vehicle instead of operating at a fixed time of the existing signal processing during traffic congestion such as commute time.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should not be limited by the described embodiments but should be defined by the appended claims.
