Description

The invention relates to the field of traffic regulation.

According to OST 218.1.002-2003 “Bus stops on roads. General technical requirements "bus stops relate to road engineering facilities and are intended to serve the population of adjacent territories or passengers of other modes of transport. When designing bus stops, it is necessary to ensure high transport and operational performance of buses and cars on the roads and traffic safety.

Industry standard 218.1.002-2003 prescribes the need to arrange bus stops in horizontal sections or at slopes of up to 20%, it is forbidden to design bus stops in areas where the calculated safety factor taking into account the influence of stops will be less than 0.7 or the accident rate of more than 20, and when designing bus stops, it is prescribed to provide stopping areas for buses, transition-speed lanes for braking, and acceleration, landing areas, waiting areas (pa Hillion for passengers), sidewalks and transition paths, etc., but all this is not enough to ensure the safety of people waiting for public transport at bus stops. The project of a bus stop according to OST 218.1.002-2003 “Bus stops on roads. General Technical Requirements ”is presented in FIG. one.

Bus stops are “protected” only by a curb (0.2 m), and then in some places it is omitted for the convenience of passengers and located below normal and is practically not an obstacle.

In Russia according to clause 4.8. SDA "... At the stops of route vehicles that are not equipped with elevated landing sites, it is allowed to enter the carriageway to board the vehicle only after it stops ...". Often, passengers, violating traffic rules, expect vehicles on the roadway, thereby endangering themselves.

Bus pavilions, due to buildings, are often located closer than 3 m to the carriageway.

Most bus stops in cities are not equipped with transition-speed lanes and a 20-meter dividing strip, which can be constructed constructively in the form of a wheel chipper and which can take the first blow of an uncontrolled car in case of an accident.

The problem of ensuring the safe location of people at the bus stop when waiting for public transport is not the only one.

Very often, vehicle drivers park private cars, taxi cars at bus stops, preventing buses from approaching the bus stop for boarding and disembarking passengers. Bus drivers, stopping on the roadway, endanger passengers, and also reduce the throughput of the street.

To increase the comfort of people waiting for the arrival of public passenger transport at a bus stop, a number of solutions are known that have patents for a utility model: RU 142349 U1 (2013), IPC E04H 1/12 (2006.01); RU 142348 U1 (2013), IPC E04H 1/12 (2006.01), G07F11 / 00 (2006.01); RU 119005 U1 (2012), IPC E04H 1/12 (2006.01); RU 119004 U1 (2012), IPC E04H 1/12 (2006.01); RU 113765 U1 (2011), IPC 04H 1/00 (2006.01); RU 110794 U1 (2011), IPC E04H 1/12 (2006.01); RU 24693 U1 (2001), IPC ⁷ E04B1 / 342.

All the considered solutions are united by one significant drawback, they do not solve the problem of ensuring the safety of people waiting for the bus at the bus stop, as well as making boarding and disembarking from the bus.

To improve the safety of persons approaching or moving away from a bus stop and moving along an unequipped pedestrian crossing, devices for forcibly stopping a vehicle are known.

For example, a device is known as described in patent DE 2515308 A1, E01F 13/00, 08/01/1976, comprising a flexible tape with piercing elements fixed to it.

A disadvantage of the known device is damage to the vehicle during its forced stop, as well as low efficiency due to the impossibility of hidden placement on the road and unexpected use.

Also known is a device for forcing a vehicle to stop, including a container filled with filler (see RU 2132531 C1, F41H 11/08, F42B 23/00, 06/27/1999).

The disadvantage of this device is damage to the vehicle when it is forced to stop, as well as low efficiency due to the impossibility of hidden placement on the road and unexpected use.

A device is known for forcing a vehicle to stop, including a container filled with filler (RU 2229552 C2, E01F 13/12, 04/13/2001). The container is made of waterproof material, and dispersed material is used as the filler, the level of which coincides with the level of the roadway, and the device includes fluid supply and drainage systems located in the bottom of the tank, creating a liquid flow ascending from the bottom up, translating the dispersed material into a pseudo-liquid state, and a liquid discharge system that creates a downward flowing liquid, transferring the dispersed material into a dense state.

There is also known a device for forcing a vehicle to stop (RU 100091 U1 E01F 13/08, 06/21/2010), comprising a housing mounted in a recess of the roadway, inside of which a drive shaft connected to the barrier, a cover pivotally connected to the shaft, a latch, remote control panel, a signal receiver from the control panel, characterized in that the barrier is made in the form of one or more box-shaped nozzles mounted on the shaft, one or more surfaces of each of which are made with artificial irregularities the rest, the lock is made in the form of a ratchet interacting with an adjustable spring mechanism associated with the shaft and the cover.

Finally, the invention patent RU 2541589 C1 (2014), IPC G08G 1/005 (2006.01), E01F 13/00 (2006.01), G08G 1/052 (2006.01), G08G 1/04 (2006.01) "pedestrian crossing", which consists of a pedestrian path on the carriageway of the road, indicated by road signs along the edges on the sidewalks. On their supports video cameras are installed, combined with a device for measuring vehicle speed, directed towards oncoming vehicles. Video cameras monitor the presence of vehicles on the road, and a device for measuring vehicle speed captures their speed at a distance of 100 and 50 meters from the nearest edge of the pedestrian crossing. At these distances additional marking lines are applied and additional information signs are set. When fixing violations of the Rules of the road on the part of vehicle drivers, a device for forcibly stopping the vehicle is activated, located 5 meters from the nearest edge of the pedestrian crossing. This decision was made as a prototype.

To solve the above problems, we propose a project of an automated bus stop, made in accordance with OST 218.1.002-2003 "Bus stops on highways", as well as with proposals for its improvement (Fig. 2).

The objective of the invention is to ensure the safety of people waiting for a bus at a bus stop, and carrying out boarding, disembarking from the bus, as well as the problem of ensuring the throughput of the city road network.

The problem is solved due to the fact that when the bus approaches the bus stop, the camcorder fixes the state registration mark, after which the signal enters the control unit, where it is recognized and compared with the registration marks in its database. If the alphanumeric combination matches, the control unit supplies power to the electric motor. A pulley is mounted on the shaft of the electric motor to which the cable is fixed. When the motor shaft rotates, the cable is screwed onto the pulley and, through the blocks, the cable guides, overcoming the resistance of the springs, retracts the movable block. The movement of the unit stops when you click the checkbox on the end switch. At the same time, the power from the electric motor is turned off and fed to the electromagnets that hold the unit for the bus to pass. After the camcorder fixes the bus entrance to the stop pavilion, a signal is sent to the control unit and the power supply from the electromagnets is turned off. Under the action of expanding springs, the movable block is pushed to a height of 0.2 m and is locked by metal plates attached to the bottom of the movable block. The surface of the protruding part of the plastic block has a reflective marking and the inscription "STOP". Thus, the block prevents vehicles from entering the bus stop, the state registration marks of which are absent in the control unit database.

The proposed device of an automated bus stop with automatic check-in is shown in FIG. 3, 4.

It is proposed to install cable chippers with a height of 0.6 m in accordance with GOST 52289-2004 (Fig. 3), a video camera on the dividing twenty-meter strip separating the stopping area from the main lane, and install a device for automatically controlling the entrance to the bus at the entrance to the transitional-speed strip a stop, which consists of a housing 1, a hatch 2, an electric motor 3, a cable 4, a cable guide 5, a guide block 6, a spring 7, an end switch 8, a flag 9, a moving block 10, a control unit 11, electromagnets 12, a crown Thain 13.

A diagram of an automated bus stop device with automatic check-in at the time the drawer is located above the road is shown in FIG. 3.

A diagram of an automated bus stop device with automatic check-in at the time the drawer is inside the road is shown in FIG. four.

The principle of operation of the proposed device automated bus stop is as follows.

When the bus approaches the bus stop, the video camera 14 (Fig. 2) fixes the state registration mark, after which the signal enters the control unit 11, where it is recognized and compared with the registration marks in its database. If the alphanumeric combination coincides, the control unit supplies power to the electric motor 3. A pulley is mounted on the motor shaft to which the cable is fixed 4. When the electric motor shaft rotates, the cable is screwed onto the pulley and through the cable guides 5, overcoming the resistance of the springs 7, retracts the movable block 10. The movement of the block is stopped when flag 9 is pressed on the end switch 8. In this case, the power from the electric motor is turned off and fed to the electromagnets 12, which hold the block for the bus to pass through. After the camcorder fixes the bus entrance to the stop pavilion, a signal is sent to the control unit and the power supply from the electromagnets is turned off. Under the action of expanding springs, the movable block is pushed to a height of 0.2 m and is locked by metal plates attached to the bottom of the movable block. The surface of the protruding part of the plastic block has a reflective marking and the inscription "STOP". Thus, the block prevents vehicles from entering the bus stop, the state registration marks of which are absent in the control unit database.

The proposed project of an automated bus stop with automatic check-in will help to solve: the problem of ensuring the safety of people waiting for the bus at the bus stop, as well as - getting on and off the bus; the bandwidth problem of the city's road network.
