Description
本發明係有關於一種交通提醒裝置及方法，且特別有關於一種具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置及方法。 The invention relates to a traffic reminding device and method, and particularly relates to a traffic alerting device and method with object detection and warning.
車輛，如公車、汽車、與機車等係每個人每天都必須使用到的交通工具。根據研究調查，大部分的交通事故發生於交叉路口。特別的是，在無號誌之交叉路口所發生的交通事故普遍會相較嚴重。 Vehicles, such as buses, cars, and locomotives, are vehicles that everyone must use every day. According to research, most traffic accidents occur at intersections. In particular, traffic accidents at intersections without the slogan are generally more serious.
目前來說，在一些交通流量較大的交叉路口會設置至少一交通反射鏡。個別車道的車輛駕駛可以藉由交通反射鏡來觀看其他車道的來車，以進行安全行車。然而，受限於交通反射鏡的尺寸、且駕駛必須主動地額外花費心思來注意反射鏡中的影像，設置交通反射鏡的成效往往有限。 At present, at least one traffic mirror is provided at some intersections with large traffic flows. Vehicle driving in individual lanes can use traffic mirrors to view incoming vehicles in other lanes for safe driving. However, limited by the size of the traffic mirror, and driving must actively pay extra attention to the image in the mirror, the effectiveness of setting up the traffic mirror is often limited.
在另一習知技術中，一車輛可以設置至少一影像擷取單元來偵測迎面駛來之車輛是否突然轉彎。當迎面來車突然轉彎時，可以自動啟動煞車，降低碰撞的風險。然而，由於此習知技術僅能偵測車輛前方的突發狀況，仍然無法解決交叉路口，無法看見其他車道狀況時所發生交通事故的風險。 In another conventional technique, a vehicle may be provided with at least one image capturing unit to detect whether the oncoming vehicle suddenly turns. When the oncoming car suddenly turns, it can automatically start the brakes to reduce the risk of collision. However, since this prior art can only detect sudden situations in front of the vehicle, it is still impossible to solve the intersection and the risk of traffic accidents when other lane conditions cannot be seen.
有鑑於此，本發明提供具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置及方法，其中，透過物件偵測技術可以判斷交叉路口是否出現物件，且依據物件之移動狀況來決定相關警示。 In view of the above, the present invention provides a traffic alerting device and method for object detection and warning, wherein the object detection technology can determine whether an object appears at an intersection, and the relevant warning is determined according to the movement condition of the object.

It should be noted that in some embodiments, the wireless connection unit of the electronic device may have a low energy consumption technology, such as a network connection unit of Bluetooth Smart technology. There are two modes in Bluetooth Smart technology, such as peripheral mode and central mode. Wherein, in the central mode, the network connection unit can receive data from the network connection unit of other electronic devices and has the ability to actively connect to other electronic devices.

When the electronic device does not receive the alert message (NO in step S1302), the determination in step S1302 is continued. When the electronic device wirelessly receives the warning message (Yes in step S1302), in step S1304, the electronic device and/or the vehicle are prompted according to the warning message.
值得注意的是，在一些實施例中，警示訊息中可以包括一特定辨識碼。電子裝置可以判斷接收到警示訊息中之特定辨識碼是否符合一既定辨識碼。當警示訊息中之特定辨識碼符合既定辨識碼時，可以依據警示訊息透過電子裝置/車輛進行提示。在一些實施例中，電子裝置可以依據相應電子裝置/車輛之一行進方向與相應物件之移動方向決定是否產生提示。舉例來說，當相應電子裝置/車輛之行進方向與相應物件之移動方向相同時，車輛可以不對於此警示訊息進行提示。值得注意的是，在一些實施例中，警示訊息可以透過一無線網路傳送至一網路伺服器，並進行統計。在一些實施例中，當一特定具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置產生之警示訊息超過一既定數量時，可以產生一分析報告。藉由此分析報告可以建議相關單位設置一有號誌交通標誌，或加強相關交通管制作業。 It should be noted that in some embodiments, a specific identification code may be included in the alert message. The electronic device can determine whether the specific identification code received in the warning message conforms to a predetermined identification code. When the specific identification code in the warning message conforms to the predetermined identification code, the warning message can be prompted through the electronic device/vehicle. In some embodiments, the electronic device may determine whether to generate a prompt according to a traveling direction of one of the corresponding electronic device/vehicle and a moving direction of the corresponding object. For example, when the traveling direction of the corresponding electronic device/vehicle is the same as the moving direction of the corresponding object, the vehicle may not prompt the warning message. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the alert message can be transmitted to a network server via a wireless network and counted. In some embodiments, an analysis report may be generated when a warning message generated by a particular traffic alerting device with object detection and alerting exceeds a predetermined amount. By means of this analysis report, it is possible to suggest that the relevant units set up a numbered traffic sign or strengthen relevant traffic control operations.
舉一例子進行說明。一交叉路口1400具有車道A與B，且具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS可以設置於路口，如第14圖所示。具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS之物件偵測單元odu可以朝向車道A，以偵測由車道A開出之物件/車輛V1。具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS之警示單元wa可以朝向車道B，以使得車道B上的電子裝置/車輛 V2可以藉由警示單元wa得知車道A的相關情況。當物件偵測單元odu偵測發現車道A出現物件/車輛V1，且物件/車輛V1以一特定速度朝向具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS前進時，具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS可以致使警示單元wa產生一警示訊息。警示訊息可以用來表示車道A有一車輛駛出。 Give an example to illustrate. An intersection 1400 has lanes A and B, and a traffic alerting device ITS with object detection and alerting can be placed at the intersection, as shown in FIG. The object detecting unit odu of the traffic alerting device ITS with object detection and warning can face the lane A to detect the object/vehicle V1 opened by the lane A. The warning unit wa of the traffic alerting device ITS with object detection and warning can face the lane B so that the electronic device/vehicle on the lane B V2 can know the relevant situation of lane A by the warning unit wa. When the object detecting unit odu detects that the object A/vehicle V1 appears in the lane A, and the object/vehicle V1 advances toward the traffic reminding device ITS with object detection and warning at a specific speed, there is a traffic alert for object detection and warning. The device ITS can cause the alert unit wa to generate an alert message. The warning message can be used to indicate that lane A has a vehicle to exit.
在一例子中，當電子裝置/車輛V2具有無線網路接收能力時，行經交叉路口附近之電子裝置/車輛V2可以無線地接收具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS所廣播之警示訊息，並透過電子裝置/車輛V2進行提示。在一例子中，具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS之警示單元wa的對面側亦可設置另一警示單元，以將車道A的相關情況通知車道B中與電子裝置/車輛V2反向之其他車輛得知。在一例子中，具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS亦可以包括朝向車道B之另一物件偵測單元，用以偵側車道B中車輛V2的出現，並透過警示單元將車道B的相關情況通知車道A中之車輛V1得知。 In an example, when the electronic device/vehicle V2 has wireless network receiving capability, the electronic device/vehicle V2 traveling near the intersection can wirelessly receive the warning message broadcasted by the traffic reminding device ITS with object detection and warning. And prompted by the electronic device / vehicle V2. In an example, another warning unit may be disposed on the opposite side of the warning unit wa of the traffic alerting device ITS with the object detection and warning to notify the lane A of the situation in the lane B to be reversed from the electronic device/vehicle V2. The other vehicles are informed. In an example, the traffic alerting device ITS with object detection and alerting may also include another object detecting unit facing the lane B for detecting the presence of the vehicle V2 in the lane B and passing the lane B through the warning unit. The relevant situation informs the vehicle V1 in the lane A that it is known.
提醒的是，依據不同的需求與應用及交叉路口型態，一個具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置ITS可能具有一個或多個物件偵測單元，及一個或多個警示單元。前述例子僅為本案之例子，本發明並未限定於此。 It is reminded that, according to different needs and applications and intersection types, a traffic reminding device ITS with object detection and warning may have one or more object detecting units and one or more warning units. The foregoing examples are merely examples of the present case, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
因此，透過本案之具有物件偵測與警示之交通提醒裝置及方法，可以利用物件偵測技術來判斷交叉路口是否出現物件且依據物件之移動狀況來決定相關警示，從而主動地進行相關提醒，以減少習知裝置與技術的缺點，進而降低交叉路口發生交通事故的機率。 Therefore, through the traffic alerting device and method for object detection and warning in this case, the object detection technology can be used to determine whether an object appears at the intersection and determine the relevant warning according to the movement condition of the object, thereby actively performing relevant reminders. Reduce the shortcomings of conventional devices and technologies, and thus reduce the chance of traffic accidents at intersections.
