Content 1, which is a solution to the problem of redundancy control of dual link communication and dual control cores, a signal lamp controller is composed of a controller a and a controller B. The controller A carries a wireless communication module A, and carries out remote wireless communication by taking a communication link A as a main communication mode; the controller B carries a wireless communication module B and performs local area wireless communication using the communication link B as a backup wireless communication method. Under normal conditions, the controller A is used as a main route for receiving instructions of the signal lamp controller through the wireless communication module A, the controller B receives the instructions from the communication link B through the wireless communication module B to be used as a backup route for receiving the instructions of the signal lamp controller, but the controller B and the controller A carry out real-time wired communication and monitor each other; under normal conditions, the controller B only receives the instruction and does not control the signal lamp through the execution module; when communication interruption occurs to the communication link A and no signal exists, the controller A acquires the instruction received by the controller B until the wireless communication module A recovers to be normal; when the control module A has a fault, the controller B receives the instruction through the wireless communication module B and controls the signal lamp through the execution module A or the execution module B until the control module A is recovered to be normal.

Content 2, a solution to the problem of redundant control of the dual-link communication and two groups of beacon execution modules A, B, where controller a and controller B are both connected to beacon execution module a and execution module B; the execution module B is a spare of the execution module A. Under normal conditions, the signal lamp controller receives an instruction from a command center through the controller A through the wireless communication module A, and the signal lamp is turned on and flickers through the execution module A; under the condition that the execution module A has a fault, the controller A receives an instruction through the wireless communication module A, and the signal lamp is turned on and flickers by switching the execution module B; similarly, when the communication of the wireless communication module A is interrupted, the controller A acquires the instruction received by the controller B, and then controls the signal lamp through the execution module A or the execution module B; when the control module A has a fault, the controller B receives the instruction through the wireless communication module B, and then the execution module A or the execution module B controls the signal lamp. Whether the execution module is normal or not is detected by a sensor of the controller A or the controller B, wherein the execution module is considered to be abnormal due to insufficient battery power supply, damage of the lamp and damage of the execution module.

And content 3, which is a solution to the problem of dual-link communication and overall redundancy control, wherein the overall redundancy control is to process the control relationship of dual-core and two groups of signal lamp execution modules by dual-link communication, and actually, the content 1 is fused with the content 2.

In this embodiment, a certain control river reach is taken as an example to explain an implementation method, wherein 3 signal lamp placement points are set in the control river reach, a controller a establishes a network with a signal lamp remote control command center through a 4G/5G network, and performs instruction transmission through an Mqtt network protocol, a controller B receives an LoRa terminal covering the vicinity of three signal lamp arrangement points through an LoRa, and the LoRa instruction is from a terminal to receive an instruction of the signal lamp remote control command center through a wired network of an internet/local area network. Due to the complexity and importance of the channel, the requirement on control reliability is extremely high, the signal lamp arrangement place is far away and is not easy to be approached by people, the requirement on control stability is extremely high, the control command can be accurately executed, and quite long stability can be maintained, so that high redundancy between Mqtt and LoRa communication and the signal lamp controller is required. The redundancy implementation includes the following main scenarios:

scenario 1, device is not abnormal. Under normal conditions, the controller A directly receives the instruction on the Mqtt, the execution module A on the controller A is controlled, the signal lamp control is realized, and the controller B is only in the state of receiving the instruction.

Scenario 2, LoRa failure. At the moment, the controller A is not affected, the Mqtt can be normally used for communication and control, and the fault information of the controller B is issued through the Mqtt.

Scenario 3, execution module a fails. At this time, although the controller a can normally communicate, the signal lamp cannot be normally controlled, so that the execution module B on the controller B needs to be called for control, and at this time, Mqtt is still used for communication.

Scenario 4, Mqtt failure. At this time, communication using the controller a is not possible, but data communication is possible via the LoRa of the controller B, and the traffic light control is performed via the execution module a of the controller a.

Scenario 5, communication failure between controller a and controller B. At the moment, the controller A and the controller B do not monitor each other any more, the controller B defaults that the controller A is abnormal, the connection between the controller A and the execution module A/B is cut off, communication is carried out through LoRa, and the execution module A/B is called to control the lamp.

Scenario 6, other non-singles faults. In practical situations, there may be some non-single faults, and there are corresponding communication means and control methods, and the specific situations are shown in table 1.

Note: forced light turn off is a direct hardware turn off. In the table, "0" is normal; a "1" is an anomaly.

Finally, the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit the present invention, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions, and all of them should be covered by the claims of the present invention.
