Description

The technical field to which the utility model relates.

The utility model relates to video surveillance systems and is designed to detect violators of traffic rules, in particular, to detect and video recording vehicles that violate the rules of parking, stopping and parking.

State of the art

The rules of the road of the Russian Federation define a list of places where stopping vehicles is prohibited, for example: at pedestrian crossings and in front of them; at the intersection of carriageways; in places where the vehicle will block traffic signals, traffic signs from other drivers or make it impossible to drive (enter or exit) other vehicles, or will interfere with the movement of pedestrians, etc.

As a rule, places where stopping or parking is prohibited are marked with road signs or road markings.

Known systems for monitoring compliance with traffic rules by vehicles (patent application GB 2055469, publ. 03/04/1981; patent application US 4987541, publ. 01/22/1991). These systems provide for the installation of additional equipment directly on the vehicle, connected via communication channels with control and information points and the processing of information from equipment installed on the vehicle and control and information points at a single stationary point.

A disadvantage of the known devices is the need to install a control system directly on the vehicle, which does not allow for independent monitoring of compliance by the traffic participant with traffic rules and does not exclude the role of the human factor in assessing the road situation and making decisions on it. As well as the relatively low efficiency of information processing.

A known system for monitoring the observance of traffic rules by vehicles (RF patent for utility model No. 107378, published on 08/10/2011) containing a mobile video monitoring module connected via communication channels to a remote data processing server equipped with software and hardware for automatically qualifying traffic violations , identification of the offending vehicle, making decisions on them and the formation of standardized forms of notification of violation. At the same time, the video monitoring module is equipped with a video clip with a navigation module that provides continuous video recording to the memory unit of the traffic situation of the patrol site.

A disadvantage of the known system is the relatively low accuracy of fixing violations of traffic rules.

Known integrated automated system for monitoring car traffic (certificate of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 76152, publ. 09/10/2008). According to a preferred embodiment, the known automobile traffic control system comprises the following components: a vehicle speed measuring device; license plate recognition complex; a complex of photo and video recording violations of traffic rules; concentrator; processing center;

centralized databases; system of automated printing and distribution of receipts-orders; gateway to the regional payment system;

communicator; mobile workplace of a patrol car.

A disadvantage of the known system is the insufficiently high reliability of detection and identification of vehicles, as well as the relatively small area of the controlled space.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved positive result is a digital system for video recording of parking violations, made, in particular, with a PTZ camera, software and hardware for video processing and a communication unit that provides information transmission (Video surveillance. Information. Using automated systems for video and video recording of violations, 05/16/2012 [on-line], found from the Internet http: //www.ksb-optru/videonabludenie informaciya).

A disadvantage of the known digital system is the insufficiently high reliability of detection and identification of vehicles, as well as the relatively small area of the controlled space, the inability to work in automatic mode.

Utility Model Implementation

The inventive video recording system of parking violations includes: a rotary camera 1, a control controller 2, including a video signal processing unit 2.1, a control computer 2.2, a power supply 2.3, a communication unit 2.4.

The PTZ camera 1 is intended for recording video images of the number of the vehicle moving in the observed area. The camcorder 1 is equipped with infrared lighting to improve recognition conditions at night, and in low light conditions switches from color to black and white. Automatic day / night switching allows you to use the camcorder 1 around the clock. The camcorder lens 1 is an optical zoom. A high-speed rotary device allows you to position the camcorder with high accuracy and scan the controlled area at a given speed. Camcorder 1 has a built-in controller that allows you to control the camera’s PTZ device via an interface (RS485, RS232, Ethernet, RS422 control options are possible). Camcorder 1 can operate in manual control and automatic scanning modes. The protective casing of the camcorder 1 is equipped with a heating device and allows you to install the camera in the open air. For mounting the camcorder 1, mounting elements are used (not shown in FIG.).

PTZ camera 1 is connected to the control controller 2.

The control controller 2 is the main element of the system and performs the functions of processing and exchanging information.

The video processing unit 2.1 provides a functional conversion of the camcorder signal into a digital form. This unit can be implemented as part of a video camera.

The control computer 2.2 is a computer for data processing, made on the basis of well-known models of industrial or laptop computers and containing software and hardware for video processing. The control computer 2.2 is designed to recognize car numbers, remember the coordinates of cars and recognition time. Recognition of the vehicle number is carried out by its conversion into a symbolic form.

The power supply 2.3 is designed to power the system.

The communication unit 2.4 provides information transfer, is based on well-known communication equipment according to Ethernet and GSM standards.

The system operates as follows.

The system of video recording of parking violations is mounted on stationary supports of circular or rectangular cross-section or on flat vertical surfaces.

The video recording system of violations begins to work and register violations after the power supply. The PTZ camera 1 scans the zones of prohibited parking or stopping by sequentially focusing on various sections of the road where parking or stopping is prohibited (the pointing order and the list of sections are customizable by the user), when aiming at each section, forming an overview and detailed image. A high-speed rotary device allows you to position the camcorder 1 with high accuracy and scan the controlled area at a given speed, which increases the reliability of vehicle identification by obtaining an overview image of the traffic situation and a detailed image of the intruder’s car number, and also allows you to control a significant amount of space around the place with one rotary cam installation.

Video Processing Unit 2.1. provides a functional conversion of the camcorder signal into a digital form.

Control computer 2.2. Recognizes car numbers, remembers car coordinates and recognition time. Processing of videos and their accompanying information is carried out in a hardware-software manner on a control computer 2.2.

As soon as a car number is recognized, which was already fixed during previous focusings of the camera in this area for 5 minutes or more, the system automatically generates information for a resolution on traffic violations and sends it to the data center. The maximum duration of the number (vehicle) in the area is configured by the user.

Information, as a rule, contains four frames: two overview and two detailed with a difference at a preset time. This information clearly confirms the violation of the rules of the road. Communication unit 2.4 provides prompt notification of traffic violations.

Thus, the claimed system of video recording of violations provides an increase in the reliability of detection, identification and selection of an offending vehicle, an increase in the accuracy of the results of recording violations of traffic rules, and also allows a significant increase in the area of controlled space.

A comparative analysis of the claimed utility model showed that the set of essential features of the claimed device is not known from the prior art and therefore corresponds to the patentability condition “Novelty”.

The above information confirms the possibility of using the claimed video recording system of parking violations, which can be used to detect violators of traffic rules, and therefore meets the patentability condition “Industrial Applicability”.
