(Prior Art) Generally, processing of a sensing signal is performed in a short cycle of 50 milliseconds or less, so that the processing load becomes extremely large as the number of connection lines increases. Therefore, in order to reduce the processing load, the number of vehicle sensors mounted on one line is often smaller than the sensing signal transmission capacity. The time length of the sensing pulse for each sensing signal of the mounted vehicle sensor is measured for each processing cycle, and whether the sensing signal is normal or abnormal is determined from the length, and from this determination result and the measured sensing pulse length It measures the occupancy time and traffic volume with a vehicle.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a block for measuring the traffic volume and occupancy time of a traffic information collecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle sensor for transmitting a detection signal indicating that a vehicle is present while the vehicle is passing, and an ultrasonic vehicle sensor or a road mounted on the tip of an inverted L-shaped iron pole on the road side. This is a loop-type vehicle sensor that is embedded in a vehicle and detects the amount of impedance change when the vehicle passes. Reference numeral 2 denotes a sensing signal sampling means for receiving and extracting a sensing signal sent from a vehicle sensor through a line at a period of several tens of milliseconds, and outputting an extracted sensing signal as a pulse signal indicating the presence or absence of a vehicle;
Is a vehicle sensor mounting determining means for outputting a mounting signal of the vehicle sensor when the extracted sensing signal changes from the absence of the vehicle to the presence of the vehicle, and 4 detects the detection pulse length of the vehicle with and without the vehicle from the mounting signal and the extracted sensing signal. The sensing pulse length measuring means 5, which measures time in the same cycle as the sensing signal sampling means 2, detects the abnormally short noise pulse sensing signal generated when the vehicle stops near the boundary of the sensing area of the vehicle sensor. In the same period as the sensing signal sampling means 2, the sensing pulse length is compared with a predetermined test value to determine whether the sensing signal is normal, and a sensing pulse testing means for outputting a normal sensing signal. Therefore, when the measured sensing pulse length is longer than the verification value, it is determined to be normal and there is a vehicle if there is a vehicle according to the extracted sensing signal, and if there is no vehicle, there is no vehicle. And outputs a normal detection signal. Further, when the measurement sensing pulse length is less than the test value, it is determined that determination is impossible and a normal signal is not output. When the measured sensing pulse length of the previous sensing signal is less than the test value, the previous sensing signal is determined to be abnormal, and the same vehicle presence or absence normal vehicle sensing signal as before until the current sensing signal changes. Is output again. 6, when a new normal detection signal indicating the presence of a vehicle is output, the measured detection pulse length at that time is added to the occupation time, and thereafter, while the normal detection signal is being output, at the same cycle as the detection signal sampling means 2 An occupancy time measuring means 7 for adding 1 to the occupancy time to measure the occupancy time with the vehicle. When a new normal detection signal without the vehicle is output, the traffic volume is calculated if the previous normal detection signal is present. 1
It is a traffic volume measuring means for adding vehicles.
