This invention is for an inexpensive way to patrol and prevent un-authorized personnel from entering or crossing a one-way roadway.
By having continuous surveillance, with patrol-vehicles doing the surveillance, and with the vehicle having photo equipment, infra-red equipment, radio equipment for contacting proper authority and a siren equipped vehicle, it is unlikely for un-authorized personnel from entering or crossing this one-way roadway.
The preferred patrol is with a vehicle that is electric and driverless.
The preferred charging of the electric patrol vehicle is for a patrol vehicle to have the capability for electrical charging automatically during its automatic driving along the one-way road, without human inter action.
The preferred system is to have the patrol vehicles spaced at a correct interval, with all the patrol vehicles first run forward, and then the patrol vehicles all backing up. This would prevent the necessity of human inter action at the end of the road way.
It is likely that patrol vehicles would drive at a low to medium speed, making for low wear and tear on the vehicles. An electric vehicle is, because of its direct drive, much easier to drive in reverse.
In addition, the low to medium speed is not using much battery power.
To further prevent un-authorized personnel from entering or crossing the one-way roadway, an electrified wire similar to “animal-prevention-fence” can be assembled on top of the fence.
This “without human inter action” type of patrolling, using a vehicle that is electric and driverless,
with the availability for charging the vehicle automatically, is the least costly type of patrolling any industrial installation, or other installations.
in between a left wall 14 and a right wall 16. A service road 18 on the far left. A corrugated transparent left 14 and right fence wall 16, is secured in the road bed 20, Electrical pulses from a pulsed electrified wire 22 similar to “animal-prevention-fence”, is assembled on top of the fence 14 and 16, with appropriate markings.
Shown is also the electric vehicle 10 having an attached receiving contact 24 for charging the electric vehicle, during its running.
The two corrugated fence walls 14 and 16, mounted in the road bed, are secured in concrete 20.
The electric vehicle has several GPS, optical and magnetic sensors and light and siren devises 26, mounted on the vehicle.
A power cable 28 with plus and minus markings, is running along the fence 14. The power to the cable 28 comes from either a power line 30 with bridge rectifiers 32, or from mounted solar panels 34 not needing any rectifiers. Wireless USB adaptors 36 inside the vehicle provide for a multitude of communications.
It is showing the primary two spring-loaded charging contacts 50 on the right, securely attached to a fence 14 along the roadway 12. The two charging contacts 50 are enclosed in a non-conducting material 52, and has a thin sections 54 for greater flexibility. The two receiving contacts 60, also spring-loaded, are shown on the left, and are attached to a non-conducting tubular part 62, having a spherical end 64, which is having a spheroidal mount 66 in the vehicle. This mounting gives the part 62 the maximum flexibility and automatic adjustment up and down.
It also gives the part 62 the ability to be folded into the vehicles body 10.
A spring-loaded non-conducting part 68 is preventing touching of other parts, but can also have an attachment to a sensor 70 measuring the location of part 50 in relation to part 60.
The part 62 is located in about center of part 52 during operation.
It is also showing an entering point 72 having a gate 74. and an exit point 76 from the one-way roadway 12, also having a gate 78.
