Patent ID: 8525700

Claim:
A system for managing information display for vehicles on cross roads, the system comprising: at least one panel to display at least one of a traffic regulatory information and advertisements, and wherein the at least one panel is a fabric panel or a LED panel; a central server; a programmable logic controller (PLC) connected to the central server to manage an information displayed on the at least one panel based on a traffic light information; a plurality of sensors arranged at a defined elevation to detect a position of the at least one panel and to detect any moving foreign object; a display unit managed online from a traffic control centre to display a real-time traffic information; and a plurality of timers for calculating a time schedule information of a plurality of traffic lights based on a traffic condition; a movement control mechanism for a vertical movement of the at least one panel on the cross road, and wherein the movement control mechanism comprises at least two telescopic arms, an electric motor, a gear box, a chain type transmission arrangement, a magnetic coupler and an AC drive, and wherein the at least two telescopic arms is provided for a vertical movement of the at least one panel, and wherein the magnetic coupler is placed between the electric motor and the chain type transmission arrangement, and wherein the AC drive is adapted to control a speed of the electric motor and to prevent a shock during a start condition and a stop condition of the movement control mechanism; an encoder adapted to control the vertical movement of the at least one panel and an actual position estimation of the at least one panel to the PLC; wherein the plurality of sensors control the time schedule information and transmits the time schedule information to the PLC which further transmits the time schedule information and traffic algorithms to a central control system residing in the central server in an online mode for processing and displaying the information on the panel to avoid a probable traffic jam on adjacent cross roads, and wherein the plurality of sensors are adapted to retract the at least one panel from a downward position during a power interruption or network impairment, and wherein the fabric panel along with the two telescopic arms moves downwards upon reception of a yellow light from at least one traffic signal mounted at an opposite side of the cross road and wherein the fabric panel along with the two telescopic arms moves upwards upon reception of succeeding yellow light from at least one traffic signal mounted from the other side of the cross road.
