Description

The utility model relates to the field of systems for monitoring the space in front of and / or behind a moving car and its movement parameters and can be applied on a car or other vehicle involved in road traffic.

The following should be noted. In the event of traffic accidents (traffic accidents), such as, for example, a collision resulting from exceeding the permitted speed, an incorrectly selected distance, driving into the oncoming traffic lane, etc., with a low traffic intensity, there may be no witnesses to traffic accidents, as a result, it is often very difficult for traffic police officers (STSI) to identify the causes of the accident and identify the guilty driver. Adverse weather conditions at the scene of an accident (rain, snow, ice) can only exacerbate the difficulties of identifying the causes. In addition, deliberate malicious acts are often encountered on the roads against the participants in the movement (the so-called “set-ups), when the participant in the movement is overtaken, rearranged at a close distance to his lane and braked sharply. As a result, without having time to brake, the participant in the traffic collides with a sharply braked car, and he, in the absence of witnesses, can be charged with an accident. Thus, having no objectively verifiable evidence, an innocent driver can be blamed.

There are known analogues of the proposed technical solution, for example, a video surveillance system for the space in front of the front door (RF patent No. 2149517, IPC 7 H04N 5/33, H04N 7/18, publ. 05/20/2000), containing an indoor surveillance device and a television camera at the same time, a video eye optical nozzle is introduced into it, consisting of N (1 <N <5) optical elements rigidly interconnected by external surfaces, optically coupled and fixed in the optical nozzle body by an external nut of the door eye mounted on the outer sides entrance door, wherein the housing holds the nozzle, at least one seat for at least one optical element of the nozzle, which is optically conjugate with the television camera lens arranged between the outer and inner sides of the front door. The disadvantage of the analogue is that it allows you to observe only the picture of the space in front of the front door without registering other parameters.

Also known is a device and method for automated control of the situation in the auditoriums (RF patent No. 2296434, IPC 7 H04N 7/18, G08B 21/02, G06M 3/00, publ. 03/27/2007). The device comprises at least one video camera installed in the hall for acquiring an image of the hall, and at least one computing device with memory connected via a local area network, and a database is formed in the memory of the computing device reflecting the filling of the hall according to the tickets sold and the computing device is adapted to process the video signal received from the video camera to obtain data on the filling of the hall with the possibility of storing this data in memory for later analysis, as well as with the ability to compare the received data with the data in the database, and with the ability to generate a signal of violation of the established mode in case of mismatch of the compared data by more than a predetermined threshold value.

The method includes the steps of installing a video camera in the room with the possibility of acquiring an image of the room, connecting it using a local area network to a computing device with memory, receiving data on tickets sold in the room and writing this data to a database formed in the computer’s memory , periodically with the help of a video camera receive an image of the hall, process it on a computing device in order to obtain data on the filling of the hall, save these data in the memory of the computing device, compare with data on tickets sold and conclude that there is a violation of the regime in case of discrepancy by more than a predetermined threshold value. These device and method allow you to control the filling of the hall with people, i.e. in a stationary confined space and their functional purpose does not allow you to control the rapidly changing parameters that occur when the car is moving.

As a prototype, as the closest to the claimed technical solution, a multi-zone stationary-mobile system for monitoring the movement of vehicles was selected (RF patent No. 2137203, IPC 7 G08G 1/01, G08G 1/017, publ. 09/10/1999), including a mobile control point, many stationary control zones, each of which is a conditional rectangle covering a certain local section of the road, switching devices installed near the road at a given distance from the specified rectangle . In each control zone, video cameras, lamps, a separator of lanes and directions of movement are installed. The system also contains a hardware-software complex installed at a mobile checkpoint. The complex includes vehicle identification computers, with which video cameras are connected through switching devices for a certain time, a server for controlling and searching vehicles in the database, a local area network, a video surveillance system connected to the video camera through a switching device, a telephone communication system, and a telecommunication system . The system described above is designed to identify vehicles claimed for the search and to carry out statistical accounting of passing cars and cannot be used in the passenger compartment, for example, of a passenger car, as a device for monitoring the space in front of a moving car and its motion parameters.

The problem solved by the claimed technical solution is to create a simple and small-sized system installed in the passenger compartment (cabin) of a car or other vehicle to control the space in front and / or behind the car during its movement and its movement parameters with the possibility of their storage in a given period of time h repeated playback on the display panel.

This is achieved by the fact that in the system for monitoring the space and vehicle motion parameters, including at least one video camera and a memory unit electrically connected to the video camera, according to the utility model, the video camera is installed in the vehicle interior and provides an overview of the space in front and / or behind by a car, in addition, a conversion device electrically connected to the vehicle’s speedometer and memory block, a device for reproducing information stored in the memory block, and an electric connected to it and the display panel of information in the memory unit, electrically connected to the playback device, while the image of the space in front of and / or behind the vehicle, the current time, date and speed of the vehicle in a given period of time with the possibility of their multiple synchronous playback on the display panel.

In addition, information on the fact of the operation of the light direction indicators, the brake system and the sound signal is recorded in the memory unit.

In addition, the system for monitoring the space and vehicle motion parameters is turned on from the moment the engine starts and turns off from the moment it is stopped

In addition, the amount of memory in the memory unit can be divided into several zones

In addition, information recorded in the memory unit in a predetermined period of time can be transferred in the memory unit to a separate area for long-term storage.

In addition, when the car is stopped, the recording of the parameters of the previous period is interrupted, its data becomes long-term storage data, and the recording of the parameters of the next period begins in another area of the memory block.

In addition, in the memory unit, several zones can be allocated for recording and overwriting motion parameters

In addition, the memory unit may include a port for outputting recorded information to an external device

In addition, the elements included in the system can be made in shockproof design.

In addition, the memory unit, the converting device, the playback device and the display panel can be made in a single housing.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated in figure 1, which shows a block diagram of a system for monitoring space and vehicle motion parameters.

The system includes at least one video camera 1 (two video cameras are shown in FIG. 1) and a memory unit 2, electrically connected, for example, by cable 3 to video camera 1. Video camera 1 is installed inside the car (cabin) and provides an overview of the space (roads) in front of and / or behind the car. Video cameras 1 can be installed, for example, on the front and rear windows of the passenger compartment, on the front and rear pillars and should not impede the driver's view of the road. With the size of modern video cameras (about 3-4 cm), this is easy to provide. The system also includes a conversion device 4, electrically connected by a cable 3 with a speedometer (onboard) 5 of the vehicle and a memory unit 2, which converts the electrical signal from the speedometer 5 into digital information about the speed of the vehicle, stored in the memory unit 2. In addition, the system includes a playback device 6, electrically connected by a cable 3 to a memory unit 2, reproducing the information stored in the unit 2, and an information display panel 7, electrically connected to the playback device 6. As In the display panel 7, a miniature liquid crystal display can be selected, which is placed in a convenient place for viewing on the vehicle dashboard. At the same time, the image of the space (road) in front of and / or behind the car, obtained from video cameras 1, the current time, date and speed of the car in a given period of time, for example, within one minute preceding the stop of the car (for example , as a result of an accident or for other reasons) with the possibility of their multiple synchronous playback on the display panel 7. The memory unit 2 can be divided into several zones, at least one of which is intended for long-term storage recording recorded information. The system can be implemented in such a way that the video information from cameras 1, the current time, date and speed of the vehicle are synchronously recorded in the memory unit 2 during the movement of the vehicle for, for example, one minute before the vehicle stops (until the wheels stop completely), and earlier information from the memory block is deleted. In addition, the system can record information in the mode without moving the car (with the engine running), for example, when parking at a traffic light for a given period of time. For this, the system can automatically turn on from the moment the car engine is started and turn off when it stops. In addition, information on the fact of the operation of the light direction indicators of the car, the brake system and the supply of an audio signal can be recorded in the memory unit 2. Additionally, information recorded in the memory unit 2 in a given period of time can be transferred in the memory unit 2 to a separate area for long-term storage with the possibility of subsequent playback. Footnote 8 in figure 1 conventionally shows a single housing, system elements can be made in shockproof design. Additionally, the system may include a port 9 electrically connected to the memory unit 2 for outputting recorded information to an external device, for example, to a laptop computer for analysis by law enforcement agencies

The claimed system operates as follows.

During the movement of the car (or from the moment its engine starts), information from the cameras 1 about the space in front of and / or behind the car is recorded in the memory unit 2. Synchronously, the current time (for example, from video camera 1), the date and speed of movement are recorded in the memory unit 2 vehicle, formed by the Converter 4 from the signal coming from the onboard speedometer 5 of the car, as well as information about the operation of turn signals, brake system and the sound signal. In this case, information is stored in the memory unit 2 in a predetermined period of time preceding the current time value, for example, for one minute (or any other selected value). The information recorded in the memory unit 2 of a predetermined period of time is deleted. Suppose that an accident occurs with a car, or some other unexpected stop of the car. At the same time, in memory block 2, during the last minute of movement until the vehicle stops:

- a review of the space (picture of the road with participants moving along it, overtaking, maneuvers, etc.) in front of and / or behind the car;

- vehicle speed values during the last minute and its changes (it is sufficient to have speed values with a sampling frequency of 2 Hz, i.e. two values per second);

- date and current time during the last minute.

- information about the fact of the operation of direction indicators, brake system and the sound signal.

Using the playback device 6 of the information accumulated in the memory unit 2, on the display panel 7, for example, a miniature display above, the agreed vehicle motion parameters can be synchronously reproduced and viewed, for example, by the traffic police. At the same time, the display can simultaneously show the picture of space, date, current time, speed and the facts of the direction indicators, brake system and the sound signal. This information (and its changes) with a high degree of reliability will help to significantly simplify the identification of the causes of accidents and determine the guilt (or innocence) of the driver, i.e. is objectively verifiable evidence of compliance or non-compliance with traffic rules by road users. The specified period of time equal to one minute is selected from the condition that, at a vehicle speed of 60 km / h, the length of the path traveled by it in one minute is 1 km, which is quite enough, because most accidents occur on a site with a length of not more than 50 m. However, the choice of time period can be arbitrary, for example 20 minutes, 1 hour, etc. and is determined mainly by the memory capacity of block 2.

In the event of an accident, the driver may not have to worry about storing information about the period preceding the accident due to a stressful situation or physical impossibility. In this case, after a specified period of time, the information will be deleted and replaced by a later one. To prevent such a situation, the algorithm of the system operation can be built in such a way that at any stop of the car information about the previous period becomes protected from deletion, and recording continues into another area of the memory block. The write protection is removed (depending on the system settings) either at the resumption of movement, or at the next stop of the car. If necessary, information located in the protected area can be transferred to the long-term storage area, or receive a higher protection status, which cannot be removed automatically. The system can also be configured so that recording continues for some time after the engine is stopped, because during an accident, the engine often interrupts against the will of the driver. In this case, recording can continue either for some time specified by the system settings, or continuously until the memory capacity is exhausted. This allows you to document the behavior of both the persons involved in the incident and the employees of traffic police services. In order to be able to provide information to competent authorities and persons, a port 9 has been introduced into the system, which allows transmitting the information recorded in the memory unit 2 to an external device, for example, to a laptop computer.

Thus, the claimed system can significantly facilitate the work of the inspectors of the traffic police in terms of proving the guilt or innocence of the driver. The applicant creates a prototype system for its installation on the car. The dimensions of the system are 70 × 100 × 25 mm when it is executed in a single case (with the exception of video cameras), an estimated cost of 10-12 thousand rubles.

According to the applicant, the claimed system having novelty and industrial applicability can be protected by a patent for a utility model.
