OBU system capable of being externally powered and charged
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of intelligent transportation, in particular to an OBU system capable of being externally powered and charged.
Background
ETC is short for electronic toll collection system, and the main function of ETC is to carry out background settlement processing with banks through special short-range communication DSRC between a vehicle-mounted electronic tag OBU installed on a vehicle windshield and an RSU antenna on an ETC lane of a toll station by utilizing a computer networking technology, so that the purpose that vehicles can pay road and bridge fees without parking through a road and bridge toll station is achieved.
Along with the continuous promotion of OBU's loading rate, the frequency of use of OBU on the freight train is obviously higher than normal vehicle, and from 2020, the freight train needs weigh earlier before getting into the highway, and in the in-process of weighing, the OBU is in RSU antenna below all the time, and the OBU is in long-time not dormant state. The power consumption of single transaction of the OBU is 45mAs, the dormant current is 15uA, the Bluetooth inventory current is 11mA (10 s of single inventory is completed, two times of inventory are carried out every month), the daily transaction of the truck is about 50 times, 5-10 km/h passes through an RSU antenna area with the length of about 10m in the weighing process, then the weighing is about 7.2s in the RSU antenna area, the single transaction is 250ms per month, the transaction is 28 times in the RSU antenna area, and the total number of the whole-day transaction is about 80 times. The monthly power consumption of the truck is as follows: 30 {24 × 3600 × 0.015 (sleep power consumption) +80 × 45mAs (transaction power consumption) +24 × 3600 × 0.001 (rechargeable battery self-discharge) } +2 × 10 × 11mAs (bluetooth battery charge consumption) ═ 41.6 mAh. If the rechargeable battery has a capacity of 1200mAh, the service life of the rechargeable battery cannot be maintained for 5 years even if the rechargeable battery is charged by solar energy, and the service life of the rechargeable battery is 1200 x 80%/41.6 month to 23 months according to 80% of available electricity. Based on the above, the use of the OBU on the truck has higher demand for battery capacity, and under the trend that the OBU is gradually miniaturized in size, the power supply mode of the solar energy and the rechargeable battery is difficult to meet the scene of high-frequency use. And when the OBU appears the low-voltage condition, can't normally pass through high-speed access & exit again, must arrive appointed maintenance point and change the OBU, bring very big inconvenience for the vehicle.
In view of the above problems, the prior art provides a technical solution to increase the capacity of the rechargeable battery, but the technical solution is limited by the current technology of the rechargeable battery, and the increase of the capacity inevitably leads to the increase of the size of the rechargeable battery and the increase of the cost on the premise of ensuring the safety. The OBU which is miniaturized and low in cost is difficult to use a large-capacity battery as a method for solving the problem of prolonging the service life of the battery.
The prior art still provides a technical scheme, charging capacitor + lithium cell + solar panel promptly, but, this scheme can solve the problem that long-time electric quantity power supply is not enough really, but has the drawback, mainly, when OBU equipment is long-term storage in the warehouse, equipment can only return the producer and carry out the battery change. Moreover, if the equipment installed on the client vehicle is parked in a light-resistant environment for a long time or used in a cold northern area, the illumination is insufficient, and the aim of timely replenishing the electric quantity due to the electric quantity exhaustion of the battery cannot be fulfilled.
