The safety cone "robot" of Ningbo expressway automatically closes the road after an accident.
CTOnews.com, February 6 (Xinhua) recently, safety cone "robots" have appeared on the highway in Ningbo, according to the Ningbo Evening News. After a car accident, these intelligent safety cone robots can automatically hit the road and close the emergency lane. At the same time, the rear horn began to broadcast to remind the rear vehicles to avoid concessions, and after the accident was dealt with, these safety cones automatically left the scene and returned to the field to recharge.
It is reported that this intelligent safety cone robot, led by the Ningbo traffic police detachment, is an out-and-out "Ningbo smart" jointly developed by Ningbo Datong Development Co., Ltd. and Huashu Digital Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. The intelligent safety cone robot is equipped with top lights at the top of the cone and four driving wheels at the bottom, which can achieve smooth movement in the vertical direction of the road, groups of robots, and can also move in formation like drones, according to the actual road conditions. form different arrays to adapt to the field environment and road conditions.
According to reports, at present, the south connection of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge is undergoing intelligent transformation. With the help of digital technology, millimeter wave radar and visual image sensing equipment have been installed on the road surface and in the tunnel, and the linkage with the intelligent safety cone has been realized. Once these sensing devices detect unexpected conditions on the road, they send instructions to the safety cone through the "brain" of the command center, and the rear personnel can complete the deployment with the click of a button.
CTOnews.com learned that high-speed driving is different from ordinary roads, because of the faster speed, in the event of accident failure or maintenance construction, it is necessary to close the lane as soon as possible to ensure the safety of passing vehicles. The traditional treatment, from the discovery of road conditions to the completion of the road closure, as soon as 20 minutes, such as traffic jams and other conditions as much as 30 minutes. With the intelligent safety cone robot "on duty" day and night, there is a sudden "second" to the accident scene, which greatly improves the emergency response efficiency.
