Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] A real-time path planning system for UAVs based on digital twins, such as Figure 1 As shown, specifically including the following: The terminals (modules) in this system mainly include the following: The traffic flow monitoring terminal and this terminal are mainly used to collect basic data, including campus traffic flow and three-dimensional map of campus traffic road network; the implementation method is to segment the roads in the campus and equip each section of the road with a millimeter-wave radar to achieve full coverage of the roads in the university campus. The millimeter-wave radar can monitor the campus traffic flow in the corresponding section of the road in real time, and can map the three-dimensional map of the corresponding section of the road. Then, by summarizing the three-dimensional maps mapped by all millimeter-wave radars and performing fitting processing, the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network can be obtained. The traffic flow monitoring terminal interacts with the data analysis and processing terminal in real time through the bus, and transmits the monitored campus traffic flow and the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network to the data analysis and processing terminal through the bus.

[0019] The data analysis and processing end and this end receive the campus traffic flow and the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network transmitted from the traffic flow monitoring end through the bus, process the campus traffic flow through a fixed monitoring period, and combine the processed campus traffic flow with the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network to convert it into a spatiotemporal aligned campus traffic flow spatiotemporal dataset, making it more organized and relevant in the time and space dimensions, which is convenient for subsequent digital twin model modeling and analysis. At the same time, the data analysis and processing end transmits the processed campus traffic flow spatiotemporal dataset and the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network to the digital twin model construction end through the bus.

[0020] The digital twin model construction end and the receiving data analysis and processing end transmit the spatiotemporal data set of campus traffic flow and the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network; First, a corresponding digital twin model is constructed in virtual space based on the three-dimensional map of the campus traffic road network, and recorded as the campus traffic digital twin model. The campus traffic digital twin model is trained and corrected using the spatiotemporal dataset of campus traffic flow. The campus traffic digital twin model predicts the campus traffic flow in the next monitoring cycle in real time, and transmits the predicted campus traffic flow to the drone control end through the bus.

[0021] The drone control end and the local end include a computing unit for real-time processing of campus traffic flow within a future monitoring cycle predicted by the campus traffic digital twin model; and also include several drones to be dispatched; Drones are planned and dispatched by analyzing campus traffic flow predicted by the digital twin model.

[0022] Cloud storage, including several databases; This terminal interacts with each terminal in the system in real time and stores any data and any operation steps involved in each terminal.

[0023] This system aims to achieve real-time monitoring, analysis, and prediction of campus traffic flow through the coordinated cooperation of various terminals, as well as intelligent control of drones based on the prediction results. With the help of technologies such as digital twins, a more intelligent and efficient system framework for campus traffic management and related drone applications is built, which helps to improve the operational efficiency of campus traffic, optimize resource allocation (that is, the rational use of drones), and provide strong support for traffic management on campus.

[0027] Then determine the time of one day (i.e., 0:00 to 24:00 every day) as a statistical period, and determine the total number of monitoring periods T within a statistical period based on the length of the monitoring period T set according to the operation combined with the actual situation and needs, and record it as q. The q is not a fixed value. If the time of the monitoring period T changes during the implementation of this system, then q must also change accordingly.

[0028] Repeated monitoring of campus traffic roads Campus traffic flow during the first monitoring period T Methods for campus traffic roads The campus traffic flow associated with q monitoring periods T within a statistical period is obtained and recorded as a campus traffic flow sequence in the order of acquisition, which is expressed as ; The above steps are based on campus traffic roads As an example, we get the campus traffic road In a statistical cycle, that is, the campus traffic flow sequence associated with q monitoring cycles T, similarly, the campus traffic road sequence is calculated according to this method.

[0031] Determine a statistical period and the q monitoring periods T associated with the statistical period, further obtain the start timestamp and end timestamp corresponding to each of the q monitoring periods T, and sort the start timestamps and end timestamps corresponding to each of the q monitoring periods T in chronological order, where the end timestamp of one monitoring period T is also the start timestamp of the next adjacent monitoring period T; The sorted results are recorded as a timestamp sequence: , where the first timestamp and the second timestamp constitute the timestamp interval: , the timestamp interval represents the duration, start timestamp, and end timestamp of the first monitoring period T within the statistical period, and the start timestamp and end timestamp of subsequent monitoring periods T correspond to the timestamps in the timestamp sequence in sequence; Road sequence for campus traffic Any section of campus traffic road , further build campus traffic roads Associated monitoring period T - campus traffic flow matrix , the monitoring period T——campus traffic flow matrix Expressed as: , the matrix records the campus traffic roads corresponding to different monitoring periods T within a statistical period By analyzing the data in the matrix, we can observe the changing trend of campus traffic flow and identify peak and off-peak periods.

[0032] Based on campus traffic roads The processing steps are then used to process the campus traffic road sequence The same process is performed on each section of campus traffic road in the statistical cycle, and finally the monitoring cycle T of each section of campus traffic road in a statistical cycle can be obtained - the campus traffic flow matrix, and recorded as a matrix sequence according to the order of the campus traffic road sequence, which is expressed as ; Subsequent statistical periods that are different from the current statistical period are processed according to the above steps to obtain the matrix sequence corresponding to the campus traffic road sequence associated with any statistical period.

[0036] The above steps are all completed in the data analysis and processing end, which then transmits the campus traffic flow spatiotemporal dataset to the data analysis and processing end through the bus. The three-dimensional graph G of the campus traffic road network is transmitted to the digital twin model construction end for constructing a corresponding campus traffic digital twin model (digital twin technology is a well-known existing technology and will not be described in detail here); The campus traffic digital twin model simulates and predicts campus traffic road sequences in real time The campus traffic flow in a future monitoring period T is recorded as the predicted traffic flow sequence and expressed as: The predicted time range is preset by the operator based on the actual situation, and the minimum limit (the shortest prediction time) is the time of one monitoring cycle T; The digital twin model construction end then predicts the traffic flow sequence through the bus Transmitted to the drone control end.
