Design Scheme of Lithium Battery for Intelligent Traffic Monitoring Equipment
I. Background of Intelligent Traffic Monitoring Equipment
Intelligent traffic monitoring equipment is a device system that uses multiple advanced technologies to conduct real-time monitoring and management of traffic conditions. The following is a relevant introduction:
Common types
Electronic police: By sensing road pressure through sensor wires and using technologies such as photoelectric imaging, they monitor and capture violations like running red lights, driving against traffic, and speeding around the clock.
▲ Smart cameras: Covering products such as eco-friendly checkpoints, eco-friendly electric alarms, and eco-friendly micro-checkpoints, they adopt multi-spectral fusion technology and deep learning algorithms to clearly capture vehicle information and solve the problem of light pollution.
▲ Geomagnetic sensor: Generally buried underground, it detects the presence and passage of vehicles by sensing the interference of vehicles on the Earth's magnetic field, and can accurately count the volume of traffic.
▲ Microwave radar: It uses microwave signals to detect the speed and distance of vehicles, monitor the driving status of vehicles in real time, and is often used for speeding monitoring and traffic flow analysis.
▲ Illegal parking capture system: It uses an automatic tracking ball camera to automatically detect and capture illegally parked vehicles, identify license plates and take photos for record. If the set time is exceeded, it will be determined as illegal parking.
Function and role
▲ Traffic flow monitoring: Real-time acquisition of information such as vehicle volume, vehicle speed, and lane occupancy rate, providing data support for traffic planning and signal control.
▲ Traffic violation supervision: Automatically identify and capture traffic violations such as running red lights, speeding, and driving in the wrong direction to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of law enforcement.
▲ Traffic accident early warning and handling: Timely detection of traffic accidents, automatic alarm and notification to relevant departments, providing on-site images and data information for accident handling.
▲ Traffic guidance and command: By integrating real-time traffic data, it provides drivers with road condition information and optimal route planning through electronic display screens, mobile apps, and other means.
New energy lithium batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and environmental friendliness, have gradually become the preferred solution for intelligent traffic monitoring systems. This solution is designed to meet the application requirements of lithium batteries in intelligent traffic monitoring system equipment projects, ensuring that lithium batteries can provide safe, efficient and customized power solutions for their equipment in special fields.
