The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent traffic, and particularly relates to an expressway traffic state judgment method based on vehicle-level
macro and micro evaluation. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring
millimeter-
wave radar data of a target road section in a target time period, and preprocessing the
millimeter-
wave radar data; then, according to
millimeter wave radar data, evaluation indexes are calculated, and the evaluation indexes comprise a microcosmic index and a macroscopic index; the correlation between the indexes is checked, part of indexes with high correlation are removed, and the obtained microcosmic indexes comprise the vehicle
drift angle variance, the lane changing behavior frequency, the
time headway variance, the acceleration variance and the aggressive driving behavior variation index variance; the macroscopic indexes comprise average flow, a speed variation coefficient, a
cart mixing rate and a congestion index; and finally, based on the
macro and micro evaluation indexes, calculating the traffic
state entropy of each road section in the target road section in the target time period, and classifying the traffic state according to the traffic
state entropy. According to the method, the aggressive driving behavior variation index is provided for measuring the vehicle danger degree caused by sudden acceleration, deceleration or too high driving speed, so that the traffic state is reflected more finely from the microcosmic level, and meanwhile, the traffic state is accurately quantified by considering the
mutual influence among the road sections.
