Abstract

A road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system is carried in a car or built at a terminal display unit on a road, and data communication and transmission are conducted by a wireless transmission or a local area network to select a current traveling data at a specific road section based on the user'"'"'s location. A plurality of section monitor units are distributed through a transmission control unit and the transmission control unit collects and transmits information to a control center through a communication medium. With the computation and analysis by software, the terminal display unit responds to a command directly from the control center or a command selected by users for a specific road section and delivers the information of the specific road section which includes the current traffic flow such as the density and speed of traveling motor vehicles at a specific road section.

Claims

1. A road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system, comprising:

a plurality of section monitor units, distributed and constructed in each predetermined road section, for promptly motoring time and density of motor vehicles passing through a range of the road section;

a plurality of transmission control units, for collecting a monitoring data of a plurality of monitor units in the predetermined road section, and transmitting control data;

a control center, for collecting the data transmitted from each of the transmission control units through a transmission device, and computing and recording the data by a software program; and

a terminal display unit, for receiving and displaying a sectional traveling data transmitted from the control center.

2. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the section monitor unit includes a plurality of detecting elements arranged with an interval apart and disposed within a range of a sectional set unit road section.

3. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 2, wherein the detecting element includes at least one sensor installed on both sides of a road or at a tall stand.

4. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 2, wherein the data transmission between the detecting element and the transmission control unit is conducted by a transmission cable or a wireless transmission.

5. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the transmission control unit is a controller that collects data in a road section and transmits and controls traveling signals.

6. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the control center is a server which is a large data recording and computing device including a two-way transmission device for responding to a command of requesting target data of the terminal display unit and displaying replied specific target data on the terminal display unit.

7. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the terminal display unit receives an input from a user, and sends a command for displaying target data inputted by the user, and displaying collected data received by the control center.

8. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the terminal display unit is a two-way signal transmission display device or a one-way signal transmission display device.

9. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the terminal display unit is a palmtop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a global positioning system (GPS), a stock machine, or a fixed mount billboard.

10. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 9, wherein the billboard adopts a color light signal, a font display or a graphic billboard (road map and map)

11. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 1, wherein the transmission technology between the transmission control unit and the control center and between the control center and the terminal display unit is a wireless transmission or a cable transmission operated with related devices for remote transmission and operation.

12. A road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system, comprising:

a plurality of access points, arranged and distributed with an interval apart and disposed on a predetermined position of a road for promptly monitoring data including time and density of passing motor vehicles;

a plurality of section data transmission control centers, for receiving the data from the plurality of access points in a specific road section, and sending the data;

a control center, for collecting, computing and recording the data transmitted from each section data transmission control center under a transmission control of a transmission technology, and a software program computing, recording and sending the data; and

a data display device, for receiving and displaying section traveling data transmitted from the control center.

13. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 12, wherein a detecting element is installed separately at positions of the access points, and the plurality of access points are set above the road or on both sides of the road.

14. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 12, wherein transmission between the access points and section data transmission control center is conducted by a transmission cable or wireless.

15. The road transport information monitoring and personalized reporting system of claim 12, wherein the section data transmission control center is a control center for transmitting data signals.
