Abstract

Disclosed is a smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism which may move to be installed in a desired place, identify a vehicle license number and occupants in a vehicle, inspect the bottom surface of the vehicle as well as the inside of the vehicle to check explosives in the vehicle or the number of the occupants in the vehicle, and prevent escape of the vehicle and recognize a vehicle escape route in real time during an emergency.

Claims

1. A smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism comprising:

a base having a vehicle entrance base and a vehicle exit base, connected thereto;

a plurality of bollards installed on the vehicle entrance base and the vehicle exit base so as to be raised and lowered;

vehicle inside inspection units installed at both sides of the base so as to see through the inside of a vehicle entering the base;

an identification unit installed at the right edge of the base so as to identify a driver of the vehicle;

a vehicle escape prevention unit installed on the bottom surface of the base to idle respective wheels of the vehicle to prevent escape of the vehicle;

an image acquisition unit installed on the bottom surface of the base and moving to photograph the lower portion of the vehicle; and

an unevenness unit installed within the vehicle exit base and selectively protruding.

2. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle entrance base and the vehicle exit base are foldable upwards so that the base is movable.

3. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein:

a pair of bollards spaced from each other by a designated interval is installed on each of the vehicle entrance base and the vehicle exit base; and

a laser irradiation unit is combined with one of the pair of bollards installed on the vehicle entrance base to irradiate laser beams recognizable by the vehicle driver between the pair of bollards installed on the vehicle entrance base.

4. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein an elevating lift configured to raise the front portion of the stopped vehicle so as to prevent escape of the vehicle is installed on the base.

5. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein the identification unit includes a housing having an iris recognizer and a fingerprint recognizer installed thereon, a controller installed within the housing, and a speaker installed within the housing and supporting voice.

6. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 5, wherein a license plate recognition unit to recognize the license plate of the vehicle is installed on the upper surface of the housing.

7. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 6, wherein the identification unit further includes a wireless communication unit configured to perform signal transmission/reception with a server having information of wanted vehicles and wanted vehicle drivers stored therein and a control center.

8. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle inside inspection unit includes an X-ray scanner.

9. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle escape prevention unit is configured such that two pairs of rollers corresponding to front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle are exposed from the upper surface of the base and a brake to selectively prevent free rotation of each of the rollers is installed on each of the rollers.

10. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein the image acquisition unit includes a CCTV configured to be automatically transferred on the upper surface of the base and moving to photograph the lower surface of the vehicle.

11. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein:

a plurality of through holes is formed through the vehicle exit base; and

the unevenness unit includes a plate, one side of which is hinged to the inside of the vehicle exit base, a plurality of iron pins protruding from the surface of the plate, and an elevating cylinder to raise the plate so that the iron pins protrude from the through holes.

12. The smart vehicle checking system for counterterrorism according to claim 1, wherein a GPS monitoring unit raised to attach a GPS transmitter to the lower surface of the vehicle is further installed on the base.
