行車指示方法Driving instruction method

本發明係關於一種行車指示方法,尤其是一種評估車輛通過目前路口後,是否能以預定速率通過下游路口的行車指示方法。The present invention relates to a driving indication method, and more particularly to a driving indication method for evaluating whether a vehicle can pass a downstream intersection at a predetermined rate after passing through a current intersection.

按,目前為解決各交通路口車輛壅塞的情形,習知行車指示方法係調整交通號誌之動作時間,以便疏導通過交通路口的車流量,此外,還可藉由顯示交通號誌之不同狀態(例如:綠燈通行或紅燈停止等狀態)的剩餘時間,讓準備通過交通路口的車輛駕駛者得知該剩餘時間,期能減少車輛在路口突然加速或急煞減速的次數,以降低交通事故發生率及車輛耗損。According to the current situation, in order to solve the problem of traffic congestion at various traffic intersections, the conventional driving instruction method adjusts the action time of the traffic sign to divert traffic flow through the traffic intersection. In addition, it can also display different states of the traffic sign ( For example, the remaining time of the state of green light or red light stop, let the driver of the vehicle ready to pass the traffic intersection know the remaining time, which can reduce the number of sudden acceleration or rapid deceleration of the vehicle at the intersection to reduce the traffic accident. Rate and vehicle wear and tear.

惟,當車輛之駕駛者正在趕時間的時候,例如:赴約時間快到達的時候,若車輛加速通過目前路口後,卻在下游路口遇到紅燈而被擋住,則駕駛者會隨著時間流逝而心急如焚,為能及時到達目的地,後續可能出現搶黃燈或闖紅燈等駕駛行為,徒然增添許多交通事故發生風險。此時,駕駛者若能事先得知車輛通過目前路口後,是否能以預定速率及時通過下游路口?則可以在無法及時通過下游路口時,先轉往不同行車方向的路段(例如:左轉或右轉)前進,並利用其他道路繼續行進,以便安全到達目的地。However, when the driver of the vehicle is in a hurry, for example, when the arrival time arrives quickly, if the vehicle accelerates past the current intersection and encounters a red light at the downstream intersection and is blocked, the driver will follow the passage of time. In anxious, in order to arrive at the destination in time, follow-up driving behaviors such as rushing yellow light or red light may increase the risk of many traffic accidents. At this time, if the driver can know in advance that the vehicle passes the current intersection, can he pass the downstream intersection at a predetermined rate in time? If you can't pass the downstream intersection in time, you can first move to the road segment with different driving direction (for example: left turn or right turn) and continue to travel with other roads to reach the destination safely.

綜上所述,有必要改良上述行車指示方法,讓駕駛者在車輛通過目前路口前,即可「預先得知車輛是否能以預 定速度及時通過下游路口」,避免駕駛者因為時間壓力所肇生的交通事故風險,並有效增加道路利用率。In summary, it is necessary to improve the above-mentioned driving instruction method so that the driver can "pre-determine whether the vehicle can be pre-arranged before the vehicle passes the current intersection.

請再參閱第1至3圖所示,該出發時間計算步驟S2,係由該處理單元11依據該號誌間距D及該參考速率V計算一行車時間T,再依據該下游開始時間GS2及該行車時間T計算一出發開始時間GS2’,並依據該下游結束時間GE2及該行車時間T計算一出發結束時間GE2’。詳言之,由於該處理單元11可依據該下游開始時間GS2及該下游結束時間GE2,而得知該下游號誌13b之綠燈時段Gb,若該車輛H係以該參考速率V由該上游號誌13a行駛至該下游號誌13b,因此,若要得知該車輛H到達該下游號誌13b時的通過機會(即是否可遇到該綠燈時段Gb),則該處理單元11可依據距離與速率的關係式,而採用該號誌間距D及該參考速率V計算該車輛H之行車時間T,如下式(1)所示: 其中,t為該行車時間T;d為該號誌間距D;v為該參考速率V。Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 again, the departure time calculation step S2 is performed by the processing unit 11 according to the log spacing D and the reference rate V, and then according to the downstream start time GS2 and the The travel time T calculates a departure start time GS2', and calculates a departure end time GE2' based on the downstream end time GE2 and the travel time T. In detail, since the processing unit 11 can learn the green light period Gb of the downstream number 13b according to the downstream start time GS2 and the downstream end time GE2, if the vehicle H is at the reference rate V by the upstream number The driver 13a travels to the downstream number 13b, so that if the opportunity to pass the vehicle H reaches the downstream number 13b (i.e., whether the green time period Gb can be encountered), the processing unit 11 can depend on the distance and The relationship between the rates, and the time interval D of the vehicle and the reference rate V are used to calculate the travel time T of the vehicle H, as shown in the following formula (1): Where t is the driving time T; d is the number spacing D; v is the reference rate V.

接著,該處理單元11可估算該車輛H必須在何時通過該上游號誌13a(即由該上游號誌13a出發),方能在到達該下游號誌13b時遇到該綠燈時段Gb。首先,該處理單元11可估算該車輛H最早可在何時通過該上游號誌13a,例如:計算該下游開始時間GS2與該行車時間T之差值,作為該車輛H最早可通過該上游號誌13a的出發開始時間GS2’,如下式(2)所示:gs2'=gs2-t (2)其中,gs2’為該出發開始時間GS2’;gs2為該下游開始時間GS2;t為該行車時間T。Next, the processing unit 11 can estimate when the vehicle H must pass the upstream number 13a (ie, start from the upstream number 13a) to encounter the green time period Gb when the downstream number 13b is reached. First, the processing unit 11 can estimate when the vehicle H can pass the upstream number 13a at the earliest time, for example, calculate the difference between the downstream start time GS2 and the driving time T, as the vehicle H can pass the upstream number The departure start time GS2' of 13a is as shown in the following formula (2): gs2'=gs2-t (2) where gs2' is the departure start time GS2'; gs2 is the downstream start time GS2; t is the travel time T.

之後,該處理單元11可估算該車輛H最晚須在何時通過該上游號誌13a,例如:計算該下游結束時間GE2與該行車時間T之差值,作為該車輛H最晚須通過該上游號誌13a的出發結束時間GE2’,如下式(3)所示:ge2'=ge2-t (3)其中,ge2’為該出發結束時間GE2’,即該車輛H最晚可通過該上游號誌13a的時間;gs2為該下游開始時間;t為該行車時間。因此,該車輛H必須在該出發開始時間GS2’與該出發結束時間GE2’之間由該上游號誌13a出發,方能在到達該下游號誌13b時遇到綠燈。Thereafter, the processing unit 11 can estimate when the vehicle H must pass the upstream number 13a at the latest, for example, calculate the difference between the downstream end time GE2 and the driving time T, as the vehicle H must pass the upstream at the latest. The departure end time of the sign 13a is GE2', as shown in the following formula (3): ge2'=ge2-t (3) where ge2' is the departure end time GE2', that is, the vehicle H can pass the upstream number at the latest Time of the 13a; gs2 is the downstream start time; t is the travel time. Therefore, the vehicle H must start from the upstream number 13a between the departure start time GS2' and the departure end time GE2' to encounter a green light when reaching the downstream number 13b.

請再參閱第1至3圖所示,該通過機會判斷步驟S3 ,係由該處理單元11判斷該出發開始時間GS2’是否晚於 該上游結束時間GS1,而且,該出發結束時間GE2’是否早於該上游開始時間GS1,若上述判斷結果皆為「是」,判定該下游號誌13b的通過機會「不存在」;否則,判定該下游號誌13b的通過機會「存在」,並進行該通過時間計算步驟S4。詳言之,當該處理單元11得知「該車輛H須由該上游號誌13a出發的時段」之後,仍需確認「該車輛H必須由該上游號誌13a出發的時段」是否介於「該上游號誌13a的綠燈時段Ga」。Please refer to the first to third figures, the pass opportunity judgment step S3 Is the processing unit 11 determining whether the departure start time GS2' is later than The upstream end time GS1, and whether the departure end time GE2' is earlier than the upstream start time GS1, and if the determination result is "Yes", it is determined that the pass opportunity of the downstream note 13b is "not present"; otherwise, the determination is made. The passage opportunity of the downstream token 13b "exists", and the passage time calculation step S4 is performed. In detail, after the processing unit 11 knows that "the time period in which the vehicle H is to be departed from the upstream number 13a", it is still necessary to confirm whether "the time period during which the vehicle H must be departed from the upstream number 13a" is "between" The green light period Ga" of the upstream number 13a.

請再參閱第3圖所示,其中,由於「該出發開始時間GS2’及出發結束時間GE2’皆未介於該上游號誌13a的任一綠燈時段Ga」,換言之,「該出發開始時間GS2’晚於其中一個上游結束時間GE1」,而且,「該出發結束時間GE2’早於另一個上游開始時間GS1」,將會發生「當該車輛H應該由該上游號誌13a出發時,該上游號誌13a並非介於該綠燈時段Ga,使該車輛H須暫時停留於該上游號誌13a之設置處,等到該車輛H通過該上游號誌13a,並行進到達該下游號誌13b時,該下游號誌13b並非介於該綠燈時段Gb,使得該車輛H無法順利通過該下游號誌13b,而須停留於該下游號誌13b之設置處」。因此,該處理單元11判定該下游號誌13b的通過機會「不存在」,因而產生通知駕駛者的資訊,例如:由該處理單元11送出電性訊號至該上游號誌13a,使該上游號誌13a不顯示任何具有視覺效果的內容,或顯示無法通過該下游號誌13b的光色、圖案等,讓該車輛H的駕駛者在經過該上游號誌13a後,即可 改道而行,避免該車輛H被留置在該下游號誌13b,而影響駕駛者之駕駛行為。反之,若「該出發開始時間GS2’早於該上游結束時間GS1」或「該出發結束時間GE2’晚於該上游開始時間GS1」條件其中一個成立,則該處理單元11判定「該車輛H必須由該上游號誌13a出發的時段」介於「該上游號誌13a的綠燈時段Ga」,分別說明如後。Please refer to FIG. 3 again, in which "the departure start time GS2" and the departure end time GE2' are not in any green time period Ga" of the upstream number 13a, in other words, "the departure start time GS2" 'Before one of the upstream end times GE1', and "the departure end time GE2' is earlier than the other upstream start time GS1", it will occur "When the vehicle H should be started by the upstream number 13a, the upstream The sign 13a is not in the green time period Ga, so that the vehicle H has to temporarily stay at the setting of the upstream sign 13a, and when the vehicle H passes the upstream sign 13a and travels to the downstream sign 13b, the The downstream number 13b is not between the green time period Gb, so that the vehicle H cannot pass through the downstream number 13b smoothly, but must stay at the setting of the downstream number 13b. Therefore, the processing unit 11 determines that the pass opportunity of the downstream tag 13b is "not present", and thus generates information for notifying the driver, for example, the processing unit 11 sends an electrical signal to the upstream tag 13a to make the upstream number. Zhi 13a does not display any visually pleasing content, or displays the light color, pattern, etc. that cannot pass through the downstream number 13b, so that the driver of the vehicle H can pass the upstream number 13a. Diverted to avoid the vehicle H being placed in the downstream sign 13b, which affects the driving behavior of the driver. On the other hand, if "the departure start time GS2" is earlier than the upstream end time GS1" or "the departure end time GE2 is later than the upstream start time GS1", one of the conditions is satisfied, the processing unit 11 determines that "the vehicle H must The time period from the upstream number 13a is "between the green time period Ga of the upstream number 13a", as explained later.

請參閱第4a圖所示,其係本發明之存在該下游號誌13b的通過機會示意圖(一),其中,由於「該出發開始時間GS2’早於該上游結束時間GE1」條件成立,因此,「該車輛H必須由該上游號誌13a出發的時段」介於「該上游號誌13a的綠燈時段Ga」,使得該車輛H可在該出發開始時間GS2’與該上游結束時間GE1之間通過該上游號誌13a,並以該參考速率V行進通過該下游號誌13b。Please refer to FIG. 4a, which is a schematic diagram (1) of the passage of the downstream sign 13b of the present invention, wherein the condition "the departure start time GS2' is earlier than the upstream end time GE1" is established. "The period in which the vehicle H must be departed from the upstream number 13a" is between "the green time period Ga of the upstream number 13a" so that the vehicle H can pass between the departure start time GS2' and the upstream end time GE1. The upstream number 13a travels through the downstream number 13b at the reference rate V.

請參閱第4b圖所示,其係本發明之存在該下游號誌13b的通過機會示意圖(二),其中,由於「該出發結束時間GE2’晚於該上游開始時間GS1」條件成立,因此,「該車輛H必須由該上游號誌13a出發的時段」介於「該上游號誌13a的綠燈時段Ga」,使得該車輛H可在該上游開始時間GS1與該出發結束時間GE2’之間通過該上游號誌13a,並以該參考速率V行進通過該下游號誌13b。該處理單元11判定該下游號誌13b的通過機會「存在」。接著,進行該通過時間計算步驟S4。Please refer to FIG. 4b, which is a schematic diagram of the pass opportunity of the downstream sign 13b of the present invention. (2), wherein the condition "the departure end time GE2 is later than the upstream start time GS1" is established, therefore, "The period in which the vehicle H must be departed from the upstream number 13a" is between "the green time period Ga of the upstream number 13a" so that the vehicle H can pass between the upstream start time GS1 and the departure end time GE2' The upstream number 13a travels through the downstream number 13b at the reference rate V. The processing unit 11 determines that the passage opportunity "present" of the downstream token 13b. Next, the passage time calculation step S4 is performed.

請再參閱第1至3圖所示,該通過時間計算步驟S4,係由該處理單元11取該上游開始時間GS1及該出發開始時間GS2’兩者之最大值作為一通過開始時間,並取該上 游結束時間GE1及該出發結束時間GE2’兩者之最小值作為一通過結束時間,作為該上游號誌13a指示行車的資訊。其中,該處理單元11還可以將該通過結束時間減去該通過開始時間,而取得一通過持續時段。詳言之,若該下游號誌13b的通過機會「存在」,則該處理單元11進一步比較(comparing)該上游開始時間GS1及該出發開始時間GS2’,並取該上游開始時間GS1及該出發開始時間GS2’兩者之最大值作為該通過開始時間,如下式(4)所示:ps=Max{gs1,gs2'} (4)其中,ps為該通過開始時間;gs1為該上游開始時間GS1;gs2’為該出發開始時間GS2’。Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 again, the pass time calculation step S4 is performed by the processing unit 11 taking the maximum value of the upstream start time GS1 and the departure start time GS2' as a pass start time, and taking The upper The minimum value of both the cruise end time GE1 and the departure end time GE2' is used as the first end time, and the upstream information 13a indicates the information of the driving. The processing unit 11 may further obtain the pass duration by subtracting the pass start time from the end time. In detail, if the pass opportunity of the downstream sign 13b is "present", the processing unit 11 further compares the upstream start time GS1 and the departure start time GS2', and takes the upstream start time GS1 and the departure. The maximum value of the start time GS2' is taken as the start time of the passage, as shown in the following formula (4): ps=Max{gs1, gs2'} (4) where ps is the start time of the pass; gs1 is the start time of the upstream GS1; gs2' is the departure start time GS2'.

接著,該處理單元11可比較該上游結束時間GE1及該出發結束時間GE2’,並取該上游結束時間GE1及該出發結束時間GE2’兩者之最小值作為該通過結束時間,如下式(5)所示:pe=Min{ge1,ge2'} (5)其中,pe為該通過結束時間;ge1為該上游結束時間GE1;ge2’為該出發結束時間GE2’。而且,該處理單元11還可將該通過結束時間減去該通過開始時間,以取得該通過持續時段。如下式(6)所示:pc=pe-ps (6)其中,pc為該通過持續時段;pe為該通過結束時間;ps為該通過開始時間。Then, the processing unit 11 compares the upstream end time GE1 and the departure end time GE2', and takes the minimum value of the upstream end time GE1 and the departure end time GE2' as the end time, as follows: ): pe = Min{ge1, ge2'} (5) where pe is the end time of the passage; ge1 is the upstream end time GE1; ge2' is the departure end time GE2'. Moreover, the processing unit 11 may also subtract the pass start time from the end time to obtain the pass duration. As shown in the following equation (6): pc=pe-ps (6) where pc is the transit duration; pe is the transit end time; ps is the transit start time.

因此,該處理單元11可以在該通過持續時段內產生用以指示駕駛者行車的資訊,例如:由該處理單元11傳送電 性訊號至該上游號誌13a,使該上游號誌13a顯示可以通過該下游號誌13b的光色、圖案、該參考速率V或其組合等用以指示駕駛者行車的資訊,供駕駛者作為行車參考,以便盡快平安到達目的地。Therefore, the processing unit 11 can generate information for indicating driving of the driver during the duration of the passage, for example, the electric power is transmitted by the processing unit 11. a signal to the upstream number 13a, such that the upstream number 13a displays information such as the color of the downstream number 13b, the pattern, the reference rate V, or a combination thereof, for indicating the driver's driving, for the driver to Driving reference so that you can reach your destination as soon as possible.

舉例而言,如第5圖所示,其係本發明行車指示方法較佳實施例之使用情形的時間-空間關聯圖,其中,該上游號誌13a與該下游號誌13b之群組週期C為100秒;該號誌間距D為250公尺,該參考速率V為12.5公尺/秒;該上游號誌13a之綠燈時段Ga的上游開始時間GS1及上游結束時間GE1分別為第0秒及60秒;該下游號誌13b之綠燈時段Gb的下游開始時間GS1及下游結束時間GE2分別為第40秒及90秒;因此,依據上式(1),該處理單元11可由該號誌間距D及該參考速率V計算該行車時間T為20秒,若下式(7a)所示: 之後,依據上式(2)及(3),該處理單元11可計算該出發開始時間GS2’及該出發結束時間GE2’分別為第20秒及第60秒,分別如下式(7b)及(7c)所示:rs2=gs2-t=40-20=20 (7b) re2=ge2-t=90-20=70 (7c)其中,由於該出發開始時間GS2’發生於第20秒,該上游結束時間GE1發生於第60秒,故該出發開始時間GS2’早於該上游結束時間GE1;而且,該出發結束時間GE2’發生於第70秒,該上游開始時間GS1發生於第0秒,故該出 發結束時間GE2’晚於該上游開始時間GS1。因此,「該出發開始時間GS2’晚於該上游結束時間GE1」條件不成立,且「該出發結束時間GE2’早於該上游開始時間GS1」條件不成立,該處理單元11判定「存在」該下游號誌13b的通過機會,亦即「該車輛H有機會及時通過該下游號誌13b」。For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is a time-space correlation diagram of the use case of the preferred embodiment of the driving indication method of the present invention, wherein the group period C of the upstream number 13a and the downstream number 13b is 100 seconds; the symbol spacing D is 250 meters, the reference rate V is 12.5 meters / sec; the upstream start time GS1 and the upstream end time GE1 of the green time period Ga of the upstream number 13a are 0th second and 60 seconds; the downstream start time GS1 and the downstream end time GE2 of the green light period Gb of the downstream number 13b are 40 seconds and 90 seconds respectively; therefore, according to the above formula (1), the processing unit 11 can be separated by the number D And the reference rate V calculates the driving time T as 20 seconds, as shown in the following formula (7a): Then, according to the above formulas (2) and (3), the processing unit 11 can calculate the departure start time GS2' and the departure end time GE2' as the 20th second and the 60th second, respectively, as follows (7b) and ( 7c): rs2=gs2-t=40-20=20 (7b) re2=ge2-t=90-20=70 (7c) wherein, since the departure start time GS2' occurs at the 20th second, the upstream The end time GE1 occurs in the 60th second, so the departure start time GS2' is earlier than the upstream end time GE1; moreover, the departure end time GE2' occurs in the 70th second, and the upstream start time GS1 occurs in the 0th second. The departure end time GE2' is later than the upstream start time GS1. Therefore, the condition that the departure start time GS2 is later than the upstream end time GE1 is not satisfied, and the condition that the departure end time GE2 is earlier than the upstream start time GS1 is not satisfied, the processing unit 11 determines that "there is a presence" of the downstream number. The opportunity for the passage of Zhi 13b, that is, "the vehicle H has the opportunity to pass the downstream sign 13b in time."

之後,依據上式(4)及(5),該處理單元11可計算該通過開始時間、通過結束時間及通過持續時段分別為第20秒、第60秒及40秒,如下式(7d)、(7e)及(7f)所示:ps=Max{gs1,gs2'}=Max{0,20}=20 (7d) pe=Min{ge1,ge2'}=Min{60,70}=60 (7e) pc=pe-ps=60-20=40 (7f)其中,由於該車輛H有機會遇到該下游號誌13b之綠燈的時間,將在該上游號誌13a的綠燈始亮後20秒開始,且持續40秒後結束。因此,若該車輛H以12.5公尺/秒的速率行進,並在該上游號誌13a的綠燈始亮後20秒開始後的40秒間經過該上游號誌13a,將可順利通過該下游號誌13b。Then, according to the above formulas (4) and (5), the processing unit 11 can calculate the pass start time, the pass end time, and the pass duration are 20th, 60th, and 40th, respectively, as shown in the following formula (7d), (7e) and (7f): ps=Max{gs1, gs2'}=Max{0,20}=20 (7d) pe=Min{ge1,ge2'}=Min{60,70}=60 ( 7e) pc=pe-ps=60-20=40 (7f) wherein, since the vehicle H has a chance to encounter the green light of the downstream sign 13b, it will be 20 seconds after the green light of the upstream note 13a is turned on. Start and end after 40 seconds. Therefore, if the vehicle H travels at a rate of 12.5 meters per second and passes the upstream number 13a within 40 seconds after the start of the green light of the upstream symbol 13a, the downstream number 13a will pass through the downstream number. 13b.

藉由前揭之技術手段,本發明所揭示之行車指示方法的主要特點列舉如下:先由該處理單元11向該資料庫12取得該號誌間距D及該參考速率V,並向該上游號誌13a取得該上游開始時間GS1及該上游結束時間GE1,再向該下游號誌13b取得該下游開始時間GS2及該下游結束時間GE2;接著,再由該處理單元11依據該號誌間距D及該參 考速率V計算該行車時間T,再依據該下游開始時間GS2及該行車時間T計算該出發開始時間GS2’,並依據該下游結束時間GE2及該行車時間T計算該出發結束時間GE2’;之後,再由該處理單元11判斷該出發開始時間GS2’是否晚於該上游結束時間GS1,而且,該出發結束時間GE2’是否早於該上游開始時間GS1,若上述判斷結果皆為「是」,則判定該下游號誌13b的通過機會「不存在」;否則,則判定該下游號誌13b的通過機會「存在」,並取該上游開始時間GS1及該出發開始時間GS2’兩者之最大值作為一通過開始時間,並取該上游結束時間GE1及該出發結束時間GE2’兩者之最小值作為一通過結束時間。而且,還可以將該通過結束時間減去該通過開始時間,而取得該通過持續時段。The main features of the driving indication method disclosed by the present invention are as follows: the processing unit 11 first obtains the number of the dial spacing D and the reference rate V from the database 12, and to the upstream number. The upstream start time GS1 and the upstream end time GE1 are obtained, and the downstream start time GS2 and the downstream end time GE2 are obtained from the downstream note 13b. Then, the processing unit 11 according to the mark interval D and The reference The test time V calculates the travel time T, and then calculates the departure start time GS2' according to the downstream start time GS2 and the travel time T, and calculates the departure end time GE2' according to the downstream end time GE2 and the travel time T; And determining, by the processing unit 11, whether the departure start time GS2' is later than the upstream end time GS1, and whether the departure end time GE2' is earlier than the upstream start time GS1, and if the determination result is "Yes", Then, it is determined that the pass opportunity of the downstream message 13b is "not present"; otherwise, the pass opportunity of the downstream note 13b is determined to be "present", and the maximum value of the upstream start time GS1 and the departure start time GS2' is taken. As a pass start time, the minimum value of both the upstream end time GE1 and the departure end time GE2' is taken as a pass end time. Moreover, it is also possible to subtract the pass start time from the end time to obtain the pass duration.

因此,該車輛H在行經該上游號誌13a之前,該處理單元11即可估算該通過開始時間、通過結束時間及通過持續時段,在該通過持續時段內,該處理單元11可發送訊號至該上游號誌13a或該車輛H內的行車導航裝置等可提醒駕駛者的器材,供駕駛者作為行車參考。換言之,駕駛者可得知該車輛H繼續行進時,是否能以該預定速率V通過該下游號誌13b所在的路口,倘若無法及時通過該下游路口13b,則可提前改道,避免被擋在該下游號誌13b所在的路口,進而出現搶快等駕駛行為,以降低交通事故發生風險,並能有效增加道路利用率,此乃本發明之功效。Therefore, before the vehicle H passes the upstream number 13a, the processing unit 11 can estimate the pass start time, the pass end time, and the pass duration, during which the processing unit 11 can send a signal to the The upstream number 13a or the driving navigation device in the vehicle H can remind the driver of the equipment for the driver to use as a driving reference. In other words, the driver can know whether the vehicle H can pass the intersection where the downstream number 13b is located at the predetermined rate V when the vehicle H continues to travel. If the downstream intersection 13b cannot be passed in time, the driver can be redirected in advance to avoid being blocked. At the intersection where the downstream number 13b is located, there are driving behaviors such as rushing to reduce the risk of traffic accidents and effectively increasing the road utilization rate, which is the effect of the present invention.

雖然本發明已利用上述較佳實施例揭示,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者在不脫離本發明之精神 和範圍之內,相對上述實施例進行各種更動與修改仍屬本發明所保護之技術範疇,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and those skilled in the art can The scope of the present invention is to be construed as being limited by the scope of the appended claims.
