Description

Detection system and method for illegal parking

The present invention relates to a traffic condition detection mechanism, and in particular to a detection system and method for illegal parking.

Illegal parking (including side-by-side parking) has the greatest impact on the locomotives driving in the slow lane. From the analysis of the causes of traffic accidents, it is found that more than 90% are caused by human factors. The most common people are greedy for temporary convenience. In order to get off the car for shopping or do things, they park vehicles on the road or on the side of the road illegally, or even park side by side severely and other violations. Behaviors that seriously affect the traffic on the road section and cause traffic congestion and the danger of other vehicles. These behaviors include: (1) Vehicles illegally occupy the slow lane and stop temporarily: especially parking side by side illegally causes the road width to be reduced, prompting driving on the slow lane Automobiles and locomotives need to shift to the inner fast lane. In addition to causing traffic congestion, the inability to maintain a safe distance or safe distance between vehicles during the lane change poses a great threat to driving safety; (2) Vehicles illegally occupy the bus to park District: As a result, the bus cannot stop next to the bus waiting station, forcing the bus to occupy a slow lane (or fast lane) to allow people to get on and off the bus, increasing the risk of accidents for passengers and other passers-by; (3) The vehicle illegally occupies the 10-meter section of the intersection. Stop: Due to obstructing the view of the intersection and the turning trajectory of vehicles, the incidence of corner accidents at the intersection is increased.

Although the county and city governments have set up fixed devices such as magnetic detectors, identifiable license plates, vehicle types and photographic equipment in key areas such as department stores, bus stops, and taxi scheduling areas, they have replaced police enforcement with technological aids However, there are several major problems with the fixed illegal suspension and suppression system, including the low flexibility of fixing law enforcement locations and the high cost of single-point deployment. With limited funds, it cannot be built in a large amount in a short period of time, and the scope of law enforcement is quite limited.

In view of the continuous occurrence of parking violations due to the above various reasons, the safety of passers-by is still greatly threatened. Therefore, for those skilled in the art, how to design a mechanism that can realize the instant notification of parking violations on a wider range of road sections is practical. Is an important issue.

In an embodiment, the real-time identification unit 201 can obtain the real-time coordinates of the mobile vehicle 110 through the network communication unit 102, determine the location and direction of travel of the mobile vehicle 110, and perform illegal parking according to the traffic management rules of the road. Recognition. Once an illegal parking incident is identified, the real-time identification unit 201 can immediately notify the illegal parking permit collection device 100 to perform evidence collection on the first vehicle associated with the illegal parking incident, and notify the relevant personnel through the instant notification API 205 . In the embodiment of the present invention, the considered parking violation incidents include but are not limited to red line violation, yellow line violation, intersection violation, bus stop within 10 meters, side by side violation, etc.

Generally speaking, the real-time identification unit 201 of the identification management device 200 can control the mobile vehicle 110 to execute various forensic methods on the first vehicle, so as to correspondingly generate multiple forensic results. Accordingly, the quality of evidence collection can be improved, and invalid evidence collection can be reduced, and the obtained evidence collection results can also be used as effective evidence for illegal parking.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time identification unit 201 can control the mobile vehicle 110 to perform three different methods of first, second, and third evidence collection on the above-mentioned first vehicle (for example, a vehicle that parks illegally). Evidence collection methods, but not limited to this. Roughly speaking, the above three methods of collecting evidence are that the mobile vehicle 110 captures images of the first vehicle and/or its surrounding environment at a specified angle, posture, and height, and provides the image to the identification management device 200, but they may not Limited to this.

Specifically, the real-time identification unit 201 can control the mobile vehicle 110 (the data receiving processing unit 101) to execute the first forensic means to obtain the first image of the surrounding environment of the first vehicle, so that the identification management device The real-time recognition unit 201 of 200 can determine whether there is a designated object on a specific side of the first vehicle based on the first image. In different embodiments, the specific side may be determined as the side corresponding to the shoulder of the road according to the traffic laws of the region/country where the first vehicle is located, for example. Taking Taiwan as an example, the aforementioned specific side may be the right side of the first vehicle (ie, the side close to the shoulder of the road). In addition, in different embodiments, the above-mentioned specific objects may also have different aspects, such as red lines, yellow lines, bus parking spaces, stationary locomotives, automobiles, bicycles, and/or effective parking spaces, but not limited to this. .

In one embodiment, if the real-time identification unit 201 determines that there is a designated object on a specific side of the first vehicle, it means that the first vehicle may have parked in violation of regulations. Therefore, the first vehicle may be provided indicating that the first vehicle has violated regulations. Otherwise, it can provide the first collection result indicating that the first vehicle has violated the regulations; otherwise, it can provide the first collection result indicating that the first vehicle has not violated the regulations.

In response to the first evidence collection result indicating that the first vehicle has violated regulations, the real-time identification unit 201 of the identification management device 200 can control the mobile vehicle 110 to execute the second evidence collection method to take a second image of the driver’s seat of the first vehicle. Based on the second image, it is determined whether the driver's seat is driving. In different embodiments, the 3D vision vehicle control unit 103 controls the mobile vehicle 110 to adjust the shooting angle to the position of the driver's seat of the first vehicle, so as to perform a composite operation on the results of infrared detection and ultrasonic detection, and Combine face detection to double confirm whether there is driving in the driver's seat, but it is not limited to this.

In one embodiment, if the real-time identification unit 201 determines that there is no driving in the driver's seat, it means that the driver of the first vehicle may have left the seat, so the second evidence result indicating that the first vehicle has violated the rules can be provided. Otherwise, a second evidence collection result indicating that the first vehicle did not violate the regulations can be provided.

In one embodiment, if the second forensics result indicates that the first vehicle has violated regulations, the real-time identification unit 201 of the identification management device 200 may control the mobile vehicle to execute the third forensic means to wait for a preset time (for example, 3 Minutes), and take a third image of the environment in front of the first vehicle. After that, the real-time identification unit 201 can determine whether there is a stranded vehicle in the environment ahead of the first vehicle based on the third image. If so, it means that the first vehicle may have parked illegally due to traffic jams or accidents, and so the instant identification unit 201 provides a third evidence collection result indicating that the first vehicle is not in violation. On the other hand, if there is no stranded vehicle in the environment in front of the first vehicle, it means that the first vehicle did not stay involuntarily due to traffic jams or accidents, but parked illegally. Therefore, the real-time identification unit 201 can provide a third evidence collection result indicating that the first vehicle has violated regulations.

In one embodiment, if the first, second, and third evidence collection results all indicate that the first vehicle has violated the regulations, the real-time identification unit 201 may determine that the first vehicle has violated the regulations. After that, the identification management device 200 may take corresponding measures accordingly, such as notifying relevant units to ban, notifying the owner of the vehicle to move, etc., but it is not limited to this.

The data storage unit 202 can store data from the illegal evidence collection device 100 and the analysis result of the historical data analysis unit 203.

The historical data analysis unit 203 can analyze the records of illegal parking permits and generate reports. Through statistics, the types, time periods, and road sections of illegal parking hotspots can be found to strengthen publicity and law enforcement, and can also be used as a reference for law enforcement effectiveness and traffic management.

The monitoring and management unit 204 can provide a management platform to manage the types and parameters of the real-time identification unit 201, display the reports of the historical data analysis unit 203, and have an intuitive map interface to monitor the location of the mobile vehicle and the detected violations in real time The type and quantity are marked with different colors and shades to enhance identification, and the voice can be transmitted to the data receiving and processing unit 102 for broadcasting through the network communication unit 102.

It can provide illegal evidence collection items, illegal collection time, illegal collection location, and illegal collection static images to police vehicles. It can provide a large number of illegal collection items, a large number of illegal time intervals, illegal sections, and real-time images of surrounding roads to traffic management units.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a method for detecting illegal parking according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of this embodiment can be executed by the system 10 in FIG. 1. The steps in FIG. 2 will be described below with the content of FIG. 1.

First, in step S210, the identification management device 200 can control the mobile vehicle 110 to move in a specific field to obtain real-time images. In step S220, in response to determining that a parking violation event occurs in a specific field by recognizing real-time images, the identification management device 200 can control the mobile vehicle 110 (the parking permit collection device 100) to respond to the first parking violation event. The vehicle implements multiple collection methods to produce multiple collection results. In step S230, in response to the results of each evidence collection indicating that the first vehicle has violated the regulations, the identification management device 200 may determine that the first vehicle has violated the regulations. The details of each step in FIG. 2 can be referred to the description in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

To make the concept of the present invention clearer, a specific application scenario is provided below for further description, but it is not intended to limit the possible implementations of the present invention.

In one scenario, a riverside park attracted many tourists because of the large water amusement facilities during the summer vacation. However, due to insufficient parking spaces in the surrounding area, the entire row of cars in the nearby riverside park lanes are all red lines. This leaves only a single lane in the two lane lanes. Most of the time, driving is forced to drive on the double yellow line, and even appears side by side. Almost the entire lane was occupied by the door, and vehicles behind it had to pass in reverse. Serious violations stretched for more than one kilometer. Because there is no fixed stop-breaking device on this road section, if there is no police force to strengthen the promotion and stop, the illegal stop-breaking chaos will continue, which will affect the safety and rights of passers-by.

The length of the riverside park lane is more than one kilometer, and it will cost a lot of money to install a fixed parking and prohibition device along the lane, and only during the summer vacation when the water amusement facility is open, it can be more effective, because the cost performance is too low to install.

However, by using the system 10 proposed in the present invention, even if the police station of the neighboring jurisdiction is insufficient to make public announcements, the police can still use the drone as a mobile vehicle 110 along the riverside park lane during the opening of the water amusement facility (ie, Specific field) flight patrol to obtain relevant real-time images. In one embodiment, if the parking violation collecting device 100 and the real-time identification unit 201 recognize the occurrence of a parking violation in real time, various forensic results can be obtained based on the mechanism taught in the previous embodiment and sent back to the identification management device 200. After that, the identification management device 200 can immediately call the instant notification API 205 to notify the relevant personnel unit.

In one embodiment, after the relevant supervision unit obtains the vehicle owner's contact number through the system 10 of the present invention, the parking permit (such as the first, second and third images mentioned earlier) can be sent to The owner, remind the owner to move the car as soon as possible to correct the violation.

In addition, the system 10 of the present invention can exchange the latitude and longitude coordinates of the evidence collection data with the police service system, and then find the patrol police near the illegal stop location, and transmit the illegal stop certificate to the police service of the nearby patrol police. On the vehicle. In this way, the patrol officers can make arrangements for support according to the situation.

In addition, the system 10 of the present invention can also automatically notify the traffic management unit of the illegal road section, real-time images of surrounding roads and other information when it is determined that the number of violations on a certain road section exceeds the set threshold.

If the system automatically obtains evidence collection data and determines that it is a violation of regulations, if the banned person raises a challenge after receiving a fine, the system stores evidence image data in the data storage unit 202 for viewing. The road management unit can view various analysis reports through the monitoring management unit 204 as a reference for future traffic management.

In summary, the system and method proposed by the present invention have at least the following characteristics: (1) Applicable to non-fixed mobile vehicles such as patrol cars, buses, drones, etc. to set up evidence collection equipment; (2) High mobility of mobile vehicles To overcome the illegal parking sections without fixed banning equipment, road patrols and bans can be carried out regularly or irregularly, and patrols and bans can be strengthened for illegal parking hot areas and time periods to improve road traffic order; (3) Use non-stationary mobile vehicles With flexible movement characteristics, it can obtain better proof images for illegally parked vehicles, and improve the limited viewing angle range of fixed cameras caused by vehicle illegally parked positions, parking angles, changes in light and shadow environment, etc., resulting in fixed cameras that cannot be automatically banned (4) It is suitable for short-term activities, disaster prevention and other occasions. For example, some road sections open to parking during typhoons, or because of New Year’s Eve activities, some road sections are prohibited from parking, etc., just follow the traffic control section range and time Adjust the parameter settings, and use the drone as a non-fixed mobile vehicle to perform duties according to the task schedule; (5) It has the characteristics of low construction cost, because there is no need to dig roads to bury power lines, network lines, sensors, and set up cameras, etc. The installation of prohibition points and the introduction of technology for law enforcement are cheap and fast, especially suitable for the management and use of large-scale prohibited areas, such as the surrounding commercial districts. Or it is suitable for road sections where there are no parking periods. The fixed equipment that is banned for 24 hours is expensive to build, and the road sections set up in the no parking period are too cost-effective to maintain police enforcement. Through the present invention, technological equipment can be used to replace investment A lot of police force.

The invention uses scientific and technological equipment to replace the current law enforcement method that requires a large amount of police force, does not need to build a large number of fixed equipment, greatly reduces the cost of system construction, and can be used in a wider range of road sections to take out evidence and has high mobility In occasions such as temporary activities, scientific and technological law enforcement can be carried out on a larger area of road sections at a relatively low cost within a short period of time to correct and reduce speculative violations, so as to improve the efficiency of law enforcement, correct and reduce speculative violations, and effectively improve the problem of illegal parking on roads. Improve the safety of passers-by.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
