The highest incidence of accidents at intersections is one of the causes of this. The driver visually obtains the color information of the traffic light while driving and proceeds with the decision to stop. Therefore, when the sun's light is dazzling, or when visibility is poor due to rain or fog at night, it can be overlooked that the red light is on. The current light cycle of the traffic light is set by the traffic signal controller, and the light of the traffic light is switched in this light cycle, and the driver visually checks the traffic light information in the light cycle regardless of the field of view.

Emergency vehicles have the privilege of ignoring traffic lights while traveling while notifying that an emergency vehicle is passing by sounding a siren or the like, but they cannot cross quickly on a route with a large traffic volume. There is. Also,
A general vehicle has a problem that a traffic accident occurs when the sound of a siren cannot be heard, or when an emergency vehicle is found late at an intersection with poor visibility. In addition, since a general vehicle is provided with a means for knowing the time information at which each traffic light switches to blue, yellow, and red, the offset information between traffic lights, and the like, the driver has the time to change from a red signal to a green signal. There is a problem of not knowing that the traffic light has changed from red to blue. As described above, conventionally, it is not possible to automatically make all red or all red flashing dynamically and in real time, so that there is a problem that it is difficult for emergency vehicles to quickly arrive at the site. Also, JP-A-11-120494

Based on the emergency vehicle information received via the public network, step 156 in FIG. 3 and step 570 in FIG.
As shown at 571, the emergency vehicle ID authentication means 520 performs the approval of the emergency vehicle ID, and the approval is established, that is, the emergency vehicle ID received by the traffic control communication center means 340,
When the traffic control center 500 agrees with the emergency vehicle ID for which traffic signal control has been previously performed, a control signal is transmitted to the destination route setting means 530. Upon receiving the control signal, the destination route setting unit 530 creates destination route information based on the destination information and the vehicle traveling direction information.
If the destination information has already been created, as shown in step 572 in FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not the route is different from the set route. If it is determined that the route is not different, the destination route information is not re-created. Not performed. If the route is different from the set route, the destination route information stored in the traffic support processor 300 is reset, and the destination route setting unit 530 recreates the destination route information. As shown in step 575 in FIG. 8, the interrupt signal selecting means 540 performs a signal interrupt process on the signal 400 on the route through which the emergency vehicle passes based on the destination route information set by the destination route setting means 530. A control signal for execution is created, and data is transmitted to the selected traffic support processor 300 via the traffic support processor communication means 510. That is, the traffic control center 500 that has received the emergency vehicle ID performs authentication of the emergency vehicle ID, and if it is a legitimate ID, selects a traffic signal that performs an interrupt process from the destination information, and estimates the estimated arrival time of each intersection of the emergency vehicle. And the calculation of the offset giving priority to the emergency vehicle. The calculation result information and the emergency vehicle ID are transmitted to the traffic support processor 300 at each intersection to be interrupted. The operation support processor 300 is provided with a determination circuit for determining whether or not communication with the traffic control center 500 is performed normally. The operation support processor 300 and the traffic control center 50

In the above description, the traffic signal control for giving priority to the emergency vehicle at the intersection has been described. However, the control of the traffic signal provided on a straight road can be similarly performed. If an emergency vehicle passing through a general road receives information on a traffic signal before entering the intersection with the on-board device, even if a problem occurs in the traffic control center, the emergency vehicle can be checked and the emergency vehicle can be passed even if a trouble occurs. Since it is possible to control the traffic signal with priority, it is possible to know in advance the speed at which the green light of the next intersection passes through the green light, and it is possible to drive the vehicle efficiently. In an emergency vehicle, the entry of a general vehicle can be regulated in advance when passing through an intersection, so that the vehicle can safely pass through an intersection. Further, by setting an offset giving priority to an emergency vehicle from the traffic control center in real time, safety can be improved. or,
Even if there is no traffic control center, a traffic support signal can be controlled by the traffic support processor alone, and a local system can be constructed, supporting priority traveling of emergency vehicles and smooth passage of general vehicles at intersections. be able to.
In addition, by running a general vehicle smoothly, unnecessary acceleration to the next intersection can be suppressed, and emission of exhaust gas during signal waiting and traffic congestion can be suppressed.
