Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明はバス検出装置に係わる。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a bus detection device.
従来バス検知方式としては、ループ結合方式とアンテナ
結合方式力゛用いられてきた。ループ結合方式は路面に
導体ループコイルを埋設し、バスがループ上を通過した
時、そのループ電流によつて検知する方式であるが、ル
ープコイルを路面に埋設する埋設工事が困難であり、又
埋設されたループコイルが通過車輌の荷重、振動で切断
しやすいという問題があつた。Conventionally, the loop coupling method and the antenna coupling method have been used as bus detection methods. The loop coupling method is a method in which a conductor loop coil is buried in the road surface, and when a bus passes over the loop, it is detected by the loop current, but the burying work to bury the loop coil in the road surface is difficult, and There was a problem that the buried loop coil was easily broken by the load and vibration of passing vehicles.
又アンテナ結合方式はバス車輌の側壁に前方にのみ電波
を放射するような指向性をもつ円偏波放射アンテナを取
付け、路傍に円偏波受信アンテナを設置して、バスの車
上アンテナから出た電波を車上アンテナと同一方向回転
円偏波特性をもつ地上アンテナで受信するものであるが
、この方式は車上アンテナから発射された電波を直接地
上アンテナで受信する場合は円偏波の回転が同一方向で
あるため受信され、車上アンテナから他の物体にて反射
されて地上アンテナで受信する場合は円偏波の回転方向
がかわるため受信されにくく、直接受信電波のみを検出
しうるという利点をもつているが、実際には反射体であ
る他の物体の形状が球状でないため、反射波は完全な逆
方向回転の円偏波とはならず同一方向の円偏波成分も含
むため、他の物体にて反射された電波も受信点において
幾分受信されることになり問題はあつた。In addition, the antenna coupling method involves attaching a circularly polarized wave radiation antenna with a directivity that radiates radio waves only in the forward direction to the side wall of the bus, and installing a circularly polarized wave receiving antenna on the roadside. This method uses a ground antenna that rotates in the same direction as the on-board antenna and receives circularly polarized waves. The rotation of the circularly polarized wave is in the same direction, so it is received, but when it is reflected from the on-board antenna by another object and received by the ground antenna, it is difficult to receive it because the rotation direction of the circularly polarized wave changes, and only directly received radio waves are detected. However, since the shape of the other object that is the reflector is not spherical, the reflected wave is not a completely circularly polarized wave with opposite rotation, but also contains circularly polarized wave components in the same direction. Therefore, some radio waves reflected from other objects are also received at the receiving point, which poses a problem.

である。The present invention improves the function of an antenna detection type bus detection device using a ground antenna and an on-vehicle antenna by specifying the position and directivity of the antenna.

け低い位置に設置し、地上アンテナから車上アンテナ側

その他の仰角範囲では受信信号強度がoに近くなるよう
にアンテナの指向性を選択する。In the present invention, the on-board antenna is installed as high as possible on the side wall of a vehicle such as a bus, and the ground antenna is installed as low as possible on the roadside, and the received signal strength is limited to a certain elevation angle range when looking from the ground antenna to the on-board antenna. is large,
In other elevation angle ranges, the directivity of the antenna is selected so that the received signal strength is close to o.
本発明の実施例を第1図によつて説明する。An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

示す。In Figure 1, 1 is the road surface, 2 and 5 are vehicles such as buses, of which 2 is running on the lane that goes from the front to the back in the figure, and 5 is running on the opposite lane that goes from the back to the front. . 3 and 6 are on-board antennas attached to the upper side walls of vehicles such as buses, 4 is a ground antenna installed on the roadside, and r is another vehicle traveling in the same direction in the adjacent lane as vehicle 5 such as a bus. .

?して設置される。Further, C indicates the center separation line, H indicates the height of the on-board antenna, and h indicates the height of the ground antenna. In this embodiment, the on-board antenna is installed as high as possible on the side wall of a vehicle such as a bus, that is, close to the roof, and the ground antenna is installed as low as possible, that is, as close to the ground as possible and at least lower than the on-board antenna. will be installed.

によつてもかわるが、車線の巾、車上アンテナ及び地上
アンテナの高さがきまればθはある範囲即ちθ1くθく
θ2の範囲に特定される。In this way, when a vehicle such as a bus passes by the ground antenna, the ground antenna will look up at the on-board antenna.If the elevation angle when looking at the on-board antenna from this ground antenna is θ, then θ is Depending on how far a vehicle passes from the roadside ground antenna, the height difference between the on-board antenna and the ground antenna, that is, H-h.
Although it depends on the vehicle, if the width of the lane and the height of the on-board antenna and the ground antenna are determined, θ can be specified within a certain range, that is, θ1, θ, and θ2.
この場合θ,はバス等の車輌が路傍から最もはなれた位
置を通過した場合の仰角、θ2はバス等の車輌が路傍の
ごく近くを通過した場合の仰角である。In this case, θ is the angle of elevation when the vehicle such as a bus passes the farthest position from the roadside, and θ2 is the angle of elevation when the vehicle such as the bus passes very close to the roadside.
片道2車線の往復路線の場合で考える。Consider the case of a round-trip route with two lanes each way.

は巾がそれぞれ3.5mで片側に2車線あるものとする
。このような場合バス等の車輌が最も地上アンテナから
はなれた位置を通過するとして地上アンテナから車上ア
ンテナを見た仰角θlを計算すると、となる。The ground antenna is retracted 0.5m from the edge of the wharf to the sidewalk side, and the height h is 1.5m. Alternatively, the width of a vehicle such as a bus is 3.0 m, and the height H of the on-board antenna is 3 m. The lanes are each 3.5 m wide and there are two lanes on each side. In such a case, assuming that the vehicle such as a bus passes through a position farthest from the ground antenna, the elevation angle θl when looking at the on-board antenna from the ground antenna is calculated as follows.
又バス等の車輌が地上アンテナに最も近いところを通過
するときの仰角θ2は、:0?.なる。Also, the elevation angle θ2 when a vehicle such as a bus passes closest to the ground antenna is: 0? .. Become.
従つてこのような実施例では地上アンテナから車上アン
テナを見た仰角は常K2O.6ナくθく71.6.の範
囲にあることになる。Therefore, in such an embodiment, the elevation angle when looking at the on-vehicle antenna from the ground antenna is always K2O. This means that it is in the range of 6 × θ × 71.6.

。Next, consider what route the radio waves emitted from the on-board antenna take to be received by the ground antenna. In Fig. 1, the radio wave paths are shown as Tl, t2, and t3. Route tl represents the case where the radio waves emitted from the on-board antenna are directly received by the ground antenna, and route T2 represents the case where the radio waves emitted from the on-board antenna are received directly. is reflected on the road surface 1 and received, route T3 is the radio wave emitted from the on-board antenna 6 of a vehicle 5 such as a bus traveling in the opposite direction in the opposite lane and reflected by another vehicle traveling in the opposite lane. This shows the case where the signal is received by a ground antenna.

で与えられる。In this case, signal reception on path T3 is undesirable because it is unnecessary signal reception and may lead to malfunction. Further, reception of the signal on the path T2 does not directly lead to malfunction, but is unnecessary, and it is sufficient to receive only the signal on the path t1. Considering the above-mentioned elevation angle as seen from the on-board antenna from the ground antenna and this radio wave path, the received signal strength becomes large in the elevation angle range of θ1 to θ2, and in other elevation angle ranges, especially in the range of θ to θ. It can be seen that by selecting the directivity of the ground antenna so that the received signal strength is close to 0, it is possible to block the signal on the radio wave path T2 or T3. Next, specific means for making the reception strength large in a certain elevation angle range and close to 0 in other elevation angle ranges will be described. The ideal directivity D(θ) of such an antenna is given by the following equation (1).

This is the graph shown in FIG.

用的に十分な受信がなjされる。According to this example, the range of elevation angles indicated as [D] is 20.6D to N. 6, this is the range of the elevation angle of the on-board antenna attached to a vehicle such as a bus traveling in the forward direction when viewed from the ground antenna, and in this range, the degree of coupling is , -10 db or more, and sufficient reception is achieved for practical purposes.

The degree of coupling is -17 db or less within the range, and because the degree of coupling is low, it will not be received as an erroneous signal.

然である。Also, as can be seen from Figure 3, if the difference in height between the on-board antenna and the ground antenna is increased and θ is increased, the difference in coupling level between the range 1) and the range 2) will increase, so the on-board antenna should be adjusted as much as possible. The lower the ground antenna, the better. Further, when the present invention is put into practice, it is natural that if circularly polarized radio waves are used, the influence of reflected waves will be reduced and the characteristics will be further improved.

The received signal strength is selected so that the received signal strength is large in the range where the angle exists, and the received signal strength is close to 0 in other elevation angle ranges, so that the radio waves from the on-board antenna of a vehicle such as a bus traveling in the opposite lane are Excellent bus detection can be performed without being affected.
