Description

The utility model relates to systems for monitoring compliance with traffic rules and is intended for photo and video recording, including automatic, administrative offenses committed by road users - vehicles, by determining the geographic coordinates of the vehicle’s location with reference to the restrictions for operating vehicles established in the relevant area and the time scale based on signals from navigation systems, followed by sending information to a remote server (processing center information) and data transfer to an authorized body of state power or other external system. The portable complex of photo and video recording of offenses committed by road users can be used in any area where vehicles are operated, in particular, in urban conditions in the work of inspectors conducting patrols, including on foot, vehicle routes in order to identify violations of traffic rules. A particularly useful utility model can be used to monitor compliance with the rules of parking and parking of vehicles. The portable complex can also be used to record other offenses, including with the participation of moving vehicles.

The following prior art analogues are known from the prior art.

A known system for automatically recording violations of the rules of parking and parking of vehicles (Patent RU 133339 U1, G08G 1/01 (2006.01), publication date 10/10/2013, Bull. No. 28), including a hardware-software complex for video monitoring, made with digital capability video recording of parking lots, preliminary processing of digital video recording and transmitting the results of this processing to a remote data processing server, and containing a data processing computer connected to a video camera, the image of which is transmitted to it in A live view in real time, as well as with a navigation module, configured to determine the current coordinates of a patrol vehicle; the hardware-software complex of video monitoring is connected via a wireless communication channel with a remote data center to make decisions on violations.

The disadvantage of this utility model is that its use is effective only when installed on a patrol vehicle, which does not provide the ability to detect violations in areas where access to vehicles is restricted, or to fix vehicles with an unreadable or hidden state registration mark. In addition, the system is aimed solely at fixing violations of parking and parking rules, which limits the scope of the utility model, and the automatic qualification of offenses can lead to the formation of erroneous decisions, due to the impossibility of manually changing the restriction mode on the patrol site, which can affect the qualification.

A mobile device is known for controlling the payment of parking of vehicles in paid parking areas (Patent RU 135827 U1, G08G 1/01 (2006.01), publication date 12/20/2013, Bull. No. 35), containing a GLONASS / GPS signal receiver, information processing unit and a data storage unit, at least one video camera configured to detect and fix the state registration plate of a controlled vehicle, a control and visualization unit made in the form of a monitor with the ability to touch-control device functions and, at the same time, the information processing unit is connected with the bidirectional communication control and visualization unit and contains a module for identifying the state registration plate of a fixed vehicle that provides processing of the signal coming from the video block, a module for identifying a paid parking zone, configured to process GLONASS / GPS signals to establish coordinates devices tied to a specific paid parking zone, as well as a module for fixing parking payment violations, made with the possibility of Strongly information exchange, in particular concerning the paid parking time fixed by the vehicle to a remote server containing a database of places paid for controlled paid parking zone.

The disadvantages of a mobile device are: a limited range of fixed violations - only violations of the procedure for paying for parking lots by vehicles when they are placed in a paid parking zone, as well as the lack of protection of the device from damage caused by falling, dust, moisture or other adverse conditions, which can significantly reduce the life of the mobile device and incur additional costs for its restoration in case of damage.

The closest analogue of the claimed utility model is a multi-purpose system for fixing violations involving vehicles (Patent RU 161004 U1, G08G 1/01 (2006.01), publication date 04/10/2016, Bull. No. 10), including at least one portable individual a photofixation device equipped with a navigation module, a control and visualization unit in the form of a touch liquid crystal screen, a data storage unit, an autonomous power supply and a wireless communication module, and configured to wirelessly data transmission to a remote server, characterized in that the portable individual device contains at least one camera, while the system includes an information processing unit, which includes a module configured to recognize the state registration mark fixed at the place of violation and identify the offender’s vehicle , a module configured to determine the type of traffic violation based on information about restrictions in a given zone, and the mod ul, made with the possibility of determining the address of the location of a recorded violation on the basis of navigation data and data obtained during the analysis of survey frames.

The specified analogue is capable of fixing only stationary vehicles, which reduces the range of offenses for the fixation of which it can be used. The disadvantage of the system is the lack of the ability to manually adjust the restrictions on the patrol area when the traffic situation changes (repair work, transfer of markings, installation of new signs, etc.). In addition, the outer shell of the system device does not have the necessary level of security, providing the device with the ability to withstand damage and the effects of adverse environmental conditions, and the user's free access to the battery compartment to replace the battery can reduce its life and violate the integrity and security of the device.

The technical task of the utility model is to create a universal and secure portable complex that has all the necessary functionality of an employee’s automated mobile workstation, which monitors the observance of traffic rules by vehicle owners.

The technical result, which provides a solution to the problem, consists in expanding the arsenal of portable technical devices and systems that ensure smooth operation and are able to carry out both photo and video recording of offenses committed by road users, including in adverse environmental conditions, as well as in lack of continuous communication with the data network.

The essence of the utility model is that it is a hardware-software complex and contains: a remote stationary server (information processing and transmission center), equipped with a local database and hardware-software means for identifying vehicles, their owners and qualification of offenses, and protected a tablet device consisting of the following interconnected functional blocks: a communication unit, an information fixation unit (video and video unit), a computing unit (data processing unit ), The navigation unit, the control and display unit, a memory unit and storing data, a power supply unit.

The communication unit is represented by built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC-modules, a built-in antenna and a wireless telecommunication device, including GSM mobile communications operating in 3G / 4G LTE networks by means of a subscriber’s identification module (SIM card), which provides communication and exchange of information from a tablet device with a remote server (information processing and transmission center), other services and devices, as well as the presence of external data input-output connections (interfaces) with the possibility of attaching additional functional modules protected by dust and water tight rubber plugs. For normal operation, the portable complex does not require a high-speed channel for transmitting information, and if the quality of the wireless signal is insufficient or lacks, the device is able to record and collect information about violations without transmitting it to the server until the connection quality is restored. The accuracy of the information collected during the period of lack of communication does not decrease. The NFC-module allows the device to read contactless smart cards and, as an example, identify the user of the portable complex using his individual card, which can become an obstacle to unauthorized access to the device in case of loss or theft.

The information fixation unit includes two photo and video cameras located on the front and rear parts of the utility model housing. The main rear video camera is equipped with a flash, autofocus and an integrated additional light source. Since the vehicle’s state registration plate has a special retroreflective ability, fixing in conditions of limited visibility can be difficult. A feature of the photovideo unit of the utility model is that the flash has a special matte coating that reduces the amount of light reflected from the surface of the registration sign and improves the recognition quality both when there is a lack of ambient lighting and when there is an excess of it, which ensures the fastest and most clear image capture and fixation at any time of the day, even when shooting in motion.

The computing unit includes a measuring information processing processor running the Android operating system that synthesizes, compresses and processes incoming information, a vehicle license plate recognition module that can identify even a heavily soiled registration plate, a vehicle restriction mode module that can determine the type of offense in accordance with the parameters set by the inspector or the loaded cash information PIR limitations in the inspected zone or area. In addition, the device is able to automatically recognize the state registration plate of a vehicle, regardless of its location in the picture or recording recorded by the camera, which allows shooting from considerable distances and without requirements for the angle of the camera relative to the registration plate when shooting. In the context of the frequently changing system of organizing traffic and introducing additional restrictions and prohibitions, a very important factor in qualifying an offense is the relevance of information about existing restrictions in a specific patrol area, which is ensured by the ability to manually enter / select a controlled restriction and adjust it depending on the circumstances that exist in a controlled area precisely at the time of fixing the violation. The computing unit automatically generates a packet of data on each photo and video recording made in the form of a video or images of the state registration mark and a vehicle’s overview image indicating the exact date, time and place of fixation.

The navigation unit is represented by modules for receiving signals from navigation devices of space navigation systems operating in GPS / GLONASS / BEIDOU systems. A magnetometer, gyroscope, and accelerometer built into the utility model’s housing allow adapting the device’s operation to external factors, automatically adjusting image quality and orientation, as well as improving device control accuracy and improving the quality and speed of orientation in space, which helps to avoid time-related errors fixation and location coordinates of the vehicle.

The control and display unit consists of a liquid crystal display with a capacitive touch screen of increased sensitivity, equipped with a backlight, temperature, pressure, proximity sensors and a light sensor, which allows you to set the optimal display brightness values corresponding to the level of ambient lighting, which allows to increase battery life and increases comfort use of the device, automatically adjusting the brightness of the screen to the surrounding conditions. In addition, control of the portable device is ensured by functional quick access and manual input buttons located on the front panel and sides of the utility model housing and protected by dust and water tight rubber pads.

The degree of protection of the device shell from external influences is IP68.

The principle of operation of the utility model can be described in the following example (see the functional diagram of the portable complex (Fig. 7.).

After supplying power from the power supply unit 33, the portable tablet device 27 immediately enters the operating mode, activating the photo-fixing mode due to the loading of special software. The user can choose the mode and sequence of fixing the situation. In automatic mode, data on the types of restrictions is downloaded through the communication unit 30 from the remote server 35, in manual mode, the user, using the control and indication unit 31, chooses the circumstances of the offense on his own.

Depending on the selected type of restriction, the violation of which is planned to be recorded, the computing unit 34 of the device sends a signal to the information fixing unit 29 and automatically produces the number of images that is necessary for qualifying the offense.

After fixing, the received data is saved in the memory and data storage unit 32, and the state registration mark is recognized by the computing unit, which can be carried out in two ways: automatic recognition and interval fixing, in which further character identification takes place on the remote server. Simultaneously with a photograph of the state registration plate, the complex using the navigation unit 28 receives the current coordinates and time, and the communication unit sends them to a remote server. Based on the obtained geographical coordinates, the server determines the exact location of the fixed vehicle and / or the number of the parking zone, if the complex is used to control payment for parking lots, and reports them to the portable device.

After recognition of the state registration plate of the vehicle, the portable system places all the information about the fixation (overview pictures, a snapshot of the recognized sign and information about the geographical coordinates and time) in a temporary data storage buffer of the memory unit and data storage. A packet of information about the alleged offense from the buffer in the background is sent to the remote server. If there is no connection with the server, data on the committed commit is stored in a temporary storage buffer until the connection is restored and the data is subsequently sent to the server.

Without waiting for the data packet to be sent from the buffer, the user can proceed to photo-capture the next vehicle.

The remote server, having received the vehicle fixation data, identifies the state sign of the car, checks its correctness, determines the address of the vehicle. Next, the server places this information in its own local database 36, and then, depending on the type of violation, sends it to one or another external system 37-38, which identifies the owner of the vehicle and generates a draft resolution on violation, if necessary.

Information stored in a local database can be viewed through a web interface, including using a portable tablet device of the complex.

Similarly, a utility model can be used to record violations when patrolling the terrain on a car.

The proposed utility model was manufactured, tested with a positive effect on the applicant’s production base and approved by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology as a type of measuring instrument.
