The bus position control unit 106 controls the communication unit 102 to transmit the stop position information, the bus departure time information and the bus information to a rest area server 400 provided at a resting place where the bus stop position is stopped, It is preferable to control the display unit 103 to display the passenger number information transmitted by the display unit 103 and to display the passenger number image processed by the image processing unit 105 on the display unit 103 so that the driver can check it Do.

The passenger check unit 110 detects passengers by using an infrared sensor, counts passenger detection values to automatically check the passengers, or confirms the wearing state of the passenger belt so that the passengers are automatically checked It provides information on boarding personnel identification.

The passenger terminal 300 receives and stores the stop position information, the departure time information, and the bus information transmitted from the vehicle position identifying high-speed bus terminal 100, and based on the stop position information and the current position information, Generates route information to the vehicle and displays it on the screen. The passenger terminal 300 refers to a mobile device carried by a passenger.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the passenger terminal 300 receives the stop position information, the departure time information, and the bus information from the vehicle position identifying high-speed bus terminal 100, the passenger terminal 300 stores it in the internal memory, A bus position processing unit 304 for controlling the information display and the path information generation of the bus; A route information generating unit 306 for generating route information from the stop position information and its own position information to a bus to be loaded on the basis of the bus position processing unit 304; And a display unit 303 for displaying the generated route information on a screen.

In addition, the passenger terminal 300 includes an operation unit 301 for operating a key for a passenger to set a function or input a function; A communication unit 302 for communicating with the high-speed bus terminal 100 for vehicle location identification; A GPS receiving module 305 for acquiring position information through a GPS satellite; And a ticket processing unit 307 for processing ticket information transmitted from the high-speed bus terminal for vehicle location 100 through the network 200. [ The ticket processing unit 307 processes the received ticket information and displays the processed ticket information on the display unit 303.

When the stop place server 400 receives the stop position information, the bus departure time information and the bus information transmitted from the vehicle position identifying high-speed bus terminal 100 through the communication module 410, it displays it on the display board 420 It plays a role. The rest stop server 400 is installed in a rest area and acquires guidance information and the like through communication with the high-speed bus terminal 100 for vehicle location identification installed on a high-speed bus that stops at a rest area.

The operation of the high-speed bus terminal for vehicle location identification and the vehicle location system using the high-speed bus terminal according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail.

First, when the passenger starts to board the high-speed bus, the passenger check unit 110 in the high-speed bus terminal for identifying the vehicle location 100 installed on the high-speed bus confirms the passengers and sends the result to the bus position control unit 106 . Here, the present invention assumes that the information of each passenger (for example, the telephone number of the passenger terminal, etc.) is registered in advance. In recent years, the majority of high-speed bus ticket reservations are pre-booked online, and personal information is required to be input at the time of booking. Therefore, the high-speed bus terminal 100 for identifying the vehicle location and the ticket management server of the terminal can share passenger information through communication. In addition, even when a ticket is released directly from a terminal, passenger information can be obtained simply by receiving personal contact information.

The passenger check unit 110 confirms the passenger by using an infrared sensor or adding a sensor to the seat belt to determine whether or not the seat belt is worn. In this case, when a passenger is detected using a sensor on the seat belt, the actual passenger is seated on the passenger seat, but the passenger can not be detected unless the seat belt is worn. Therefore, in the present invention, the use of an infrared sensor to accurately detect a passenger is described as a preferred embodiment.

Install two infrared sensors near the gate. The two infrared sensors are installed at regular intervals. The first infrared sensor is referred to as a first infrared sensor and the second infrared sensor is referred to as a second infrared sensor. The first infrared sensor is installed close to the door, and the second infrared sensor is disposed closer to the door than the first infrared sensor And is installed inside the bus. If the first infrared sensor and the second infrared sensor are installed as described above, it is possible to distinguish between a ride and a departure. For example, when the passenger is first detected by the first infrared sensor and then detected by the second infrared sensor, the occupant count is incremented by "1 ", while the second infrared sensor detects the passenger first, When the infrared sensor detects the passenger, it is judged that the passenger is getting off and the passenger count is decreased by "1".

Therefore, when passengers boarding at the initial terminal, the passengers are checked using the infrared sensor by the above-described principle. When the boarding passenger is confirmed, the bus position control unit 106 stores the passengers in the internal memory and simultaneously displays them on the display unit 103 so that the driver can confirm the boarding passengers.

After the completion of the boarding, the high-speed bus is operated, and when the bus is stopped at a specific rest area, the passenger is first detected by the second infrared sensor and then by the first infrared sensor as described above. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the number of passengers getting off. When the departing person is confirmed, the number of the person getting off the passenger is subtracted and the result is set as the passenger.

On the other hand, when the passenger stops at the rest stop and the passenger starts to get off, the bus position control unit 106 acquires position information on the stop position through the GPS reception module 108 and transfers the position information to the stop position information generation unit 109.

The stop position information generation unit 109 generates stop position information based on the transmitted position information and transmits the stop position information to the bus position control unit 106. Here, it is preferable to use the same method as the position information generation method used in a system that performs a conventional LBS service.

When the stop position information is received, the bus position control unit 106 extracts boarding passenger information (passenger terminal telephone number) stored in the information database 120 and transmits the boarding passenger information, the stop position information, Information and bus information to generate a message message in the form of a text message, and transmits the message to the passenger terminal 300 carried by each passenger. Here, the departure time information may be calculated 10 minutes after the stopping time or 15 minutes after the stopping time. It is desirable for the driver to set the stop time input and the stop time setting of 10 minutes or 15 minutes.

The passenger who has got off the high-speed bus receives the guidance message transmitted from the vehicle location identifying high-speed bus terminal 100 using the passenger terminal 300 carried by him / her. When the guidance message is received, the bus position processing unit 304 extracts the departure time information and the bus information (vehicle number, etc.) from the guidance message and displays it through the display unit 303, extracts the position information, ). Therefore, the passenger can recognize the departure time of the vehicle to which the passenger boarding on the basis of the information displayed on the display unit 303, and can recognize the vehicle number. This advantage can solve the inconvenience of the passenger calculating the departure time of the vehicle directly and the inconvenience of memorizing the vehicle number.

Next, when receiving the location information of the vehicle, the route information generation unit 306 generates route information based on the current location information of the passenger and the location information of the vehicle received through the GPS reception module 305. Here, it is preferable to generate the route information in the same manner as the route generation method in general navigation.

The bus position processing unit 304 displays the path information generated by the path information generation unit 306 on the display unit 303. [ This makes it possible for the passenger to easily find the stopped vehicle based on the route information even when the passenger does not know where the vehicle is to be boarded.

Here, it is preferable that the passenger terminal 300 displays the route information by adding a button or a function to the operation unit 301 so that the passenger can select the route information.

Thereafter, the passenger can conveniently search for a vehicle to be boarded and make a boarding on the route information. When the vehicle is boarded, the boarding personnel check unit 110 senses the boarding passengers as known and updates the boarding passengers in real time according to the detection result. The boarding personnel information thus updated is displayed on the display unit 103 in real time, so that the driver can conveniently check the boarding personnel without inconvenience of confirming the boarding personnel directly.

As another feature of the present invention, the resting place server 400 can also display the information of the vehicle through communication between the high-speed bus terminal 100 for vehicle location identification installed on the high-speed bus and the rest area server 400 installed at the resting place .

For example, the bus position control unit 106 of the vehicle position identification high-speed bus terminal 100 generates the vehicle guidance data by mapping the stop position information, the departure time information, and the bus information, and transmits it to the rest area server 400. The communication module 410 of the rest stop server 400 receives the information and the internal control unit displays the information through the electric sign board 420 received through the communication module 410. Therefore, the passengers who have left the rest area can see the information such as the position of the vehicle, the departure time, and the like through the electric signboard 420 installed at the rest area.

Further, as another feature of the present invention, it is possible to instantly issue ticketing to a ticket reserved in the high-speed bus terminal 100 for vehicle location identification. That is, it receives information on the reservation ticket in cooperation with the ticket management server on the network, and stores it in the information database 120. Thereafter, when only the predetermined person identification information necessary for the reservation (passenger) boarding the high-speed bus is provided, the reservation issuing processing unit 107 compares the reservation information stored in the information database 120 with the identification information, do. If it is determined that the boarding passenger is a reserved passenger, the ticket issuing unit 111 transmits the ticket issuing information to the ticket issuance unit 111. Ticketing is issued by the ticket issuance unit 111 in accordance with the ticket issuance information, so that the reservation ticket can be issued by the high-speed bus terminal.

Further, as another feature of the present invention, it is possible to reissue a ticket in the high-speed bus terminal for vehicle location identification (100). For example, a passenger who has lost his / her ticket requests his / her ticket reissue while providing identification information. In response to the request, the ticket issuing unit 111 compares the identification information presented by the passenger with the passenger information stored in the information database 120 to determine whether the same is the same. If it is determined that the boarding passenger is a registered passenger, the ticket issuance unit 111 issues a ticket so that the ticket can be re-issued on the high-speed bus terminal.

Meanwhile, as another feature of the present invention, the high-speed bus terminal for vehicle identification 100 allows the driver to easily check the boarding passenger through the image. For example, the camera 104 installed at a predetermined position on the high-speed bus captures an image of a boarding passenger, and the image processing unit 105 processes the shot image using a normal image processing technique and outputs the processed image to the bus position control unit 106 . The bus position control unit 106 displays the processed photographed image through the display unit 103, thereby allowing the driver to easily check the boarding passenger. Thus, the driver can easily confirm the boarding passenger simply by confirming the display unit 103 instead of visually confirming the boarding passenger on the express bus while checking the boarding passenger.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The present invention is applied to a high-speed bus terminal mounted on a high-speed bus. In particular, it is effectively applied to a technology that is embedded in a high-speed bus to process a reservation ticket that is reserved online, recalls a ticket directly on the spot, and allows a passenger to easily find the vehicle when stopping at a rest area.
