Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of signal device, and particularly relates to a traffic signal control method and system based on vehicle-road cloud multi-modal data fusion. BACKGROUND
[0002] Current urban traffic signal control generally faces three core challenges: traditional schemes rely on single-point detection devices (such as ground coils and fixed cameras) to obtain local traffic data, which can only cover the traffic state within a 200-meter range of the intersection, and the data update frequency is low, which cannot realize real-time sensing of vehicle trajectory, driving intention and other dynamic information. The data obtained by these single-point detection devices has single dimension, which can only reflect the basic information such as the number of vehicles passing through, and cannot obtain the speed change, following distance and other important details of traffic signal control, making it difficult to fully depict the complex traffic operation state. The fixed timing scheme based on historical data (such as four-phase timing control) has a long update cycle (usually ≥1 hour), which is difficult to cope with dynamic scenarios such as tidal traffic and sudden accidents. This fixed timing scheme lacks dynamic adaptability, and when the traffic flow changes, it is easy to cause vehicles in some directions to wait for a long time, while the road resources in another direction are idle, aggravating the congestion at the intersection and reducing the road traffic efficiency. Independent deployment of intelligent traffic systems in small and medium-sized cities requires a large amount of funds for server clusters, storage devices and algorithm platform construction, and the annual operation and maintenance cost accounts for a high proportion. Due to the lack of cloud collaboration capability, cross-regional signal coordination needs to deploy additional special communication equipment, further increasing the cost and leading to insufficient equipment coverage.
[0003] Although the existing vehicle-road cloud scheme realizes data interconnection, it has key technical shortcomings: the multi-modal data fusion efficiency is low. The time and space alignment error of vehicle-end GPS trajectory (latitude and longitude sequence), roadside radar point cloud (polar coordinates) and Internet traffic (grid congestion index) is more than 30 seconds, and the traffic flow prediction accuracy after feature fusion is only 75%. Different modal data has significant differences in feature dimension, data structure and semantic expression, and traditional fusion methods are difficult to effectively mine the potential association between data, leading to insufficient understanding of complex traffic scenarios by the model. At the same time, the data cleaning and noise reduction processing in the fusion process is insufficient, which further affects the accuracy and reliability of traffic flow prediction and signal control decision.
[0004] For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN118785114B provides the following technical solution, a vehicle-road cooperation system and method based on a double-intelligent private network and a storage medium are disclosed. The system includes a vehicle terminal system installed on a vehicle, a roadside subsystem, and a cloud platform subsystem. The roadside subsystem includes a base station applied to the double-intelligent private network. The vehicle terminal system collects real-time driving data of vehicles in the road network and sends it to the cloud platform subsystem through the base station. The roadside subsystem collects real-time road perception information in the road network and sends it to the cloud platform subsystem through the base station. The cloud platform subsystem dynamically identifies the obstacle areas that affect vehicle driving in the road network and the target vehicles passing through the obstacle areas based on the received driving data and road perception information, creates vehicle driving parameters for each target vehicle, and sends the vehicle driving parameters to the vehicle terminal system installed on each target vehicle through the base station. Therefore, the application can apply vehicle-road cooperation to the field of autonomous driving while reducing the risk of vehicle driving. However, the above-mentioned vehicle-road cooperation system and method based on a double-intelligent private network and a storage medium cannot dynamically plan routes, rely on manual preset maps and calibration parameters, cannot automatically identify the import flow direction of vehicles at any intersection, and the system fails when the vehicle deviates from the preset route.

[0052] In another embodiment, the application uses the following specific scheme: The system architecture design includes a vehicle-road cloud coordination layer, which specifically includes: 1. Vehicle-end perception module A global dynamic data acquisition system is constructed to achieve high-precision perception of vehicle state: Multi-source data collection: C-V2X vehicle terminal (compliant with 3GPP Rel-16 standard) integrates U-Blox M8N GPS module (positioning accuracy ≤2.5m) and IMU unit, fuses positioning and inertial data through extended Kalman filtering algorithm, generates millimeter-level precision vehicle space-time trajectory, specifically vehicle trajectory is composed of time stamp t i , corresponding latitude and longitude coordinate sequence (x i , y i ) and contains n data points.

Roadside intelligent module Deploy edge computing nodes (MEC) and multi-modal sensor arrays to achieve accurate monitoring of intersection micro-situations: Edge computing processing: three layers of data processing: ① Space-time calibration: through radar-camera fusion calibration algorithm, unify camera pixel coordinates and radar polar coordinates to UTM projection coordinate system, spatial error ≤5cm, time synchronization error ≤10ms; ② Feature extraction: build 16-dimensional intersection state vector S inter , including flow Q, queue length L, delay index D (based on through time difference calculation of license plate recognition), current phase P, average speed V avg , time period type H (weekday / weekend), weather state W; ③ Data compression: reduce minute-level data to 10-dimensional through Fourier transform, upload to cloud through MQTT protocol (QoS=1), bandwidth occupancy ≤200kbps.
[0055] 3. Cloud platform module Build a three-layer architecture of "data platform - model engine - application service" to realize global data processing and intelligent decision-making: Data Hub: Fusing multi-source data to form a spatio-temporal database, including: ① Static data: Road geometry parameters (number of lanes, intersection spacing, speed limit value), signal control basic configuration (phase sequence, initial timing scheme); ② Dynamic data: Vehicle trajectory (100 million vehicles processed daily), real-time roadside state (thousand-level intersection second-level update), Internet data (Gaode real-time traffic API, update frequency 30 seconds).
[0056] Large model engine: Adopting the "feature fusion - spatio-temporal reasoning - decision generation" architecture: ① Feature fusion layer: Through 8-head self-attention mechanism to fuse vehicle trajectory embedding vector (128 dimensions), roadside state vector (16 dimensions), and Internet congestion index (5 dimensions), output unified feature vector, capturing cross-modal data correlation; ② Spatio-temporal reasoning layer: Improved STGNN model (12-layer graph convolution + 8-layer LSTM), using Chebyshev graph convolution to extract intersection spatial correlation features, processing time series through GRU units, achieving 15-minute traffic flow prediction, with an average absolute error ≤8%; ③ Decision generation layer: Output three types of control instructions: green wave parameters (speed range, phase difference matrix), dynamic timing scheme (cycle length, phase length vector), and cross-domain coordination strategy (adjacent region signal coordination priority), with a decision delay ≤100ms.
[0057] The multi-modal data fusion algorithm specifically includes: 1. Spatio-temporal feature matrix construction method Design a three-layer fusion architecture to realize the standardized processing of heterogeneous data: In the system parameter setting, the time step T is defined as 60, corresponding to an actual time span of 30 minutes, and each time step is 30 seconds, i.e. the system samples and analyzes the road network state at intervals of 30 seconds; N represents the total number of nodes in the road network, which are used as the basic unit to build the traffic network model. The feature vector dimension F=18 collected by the system covers three sources of data: vehicle, roadside, and Internet: Vehicle features: include road segment average speed v seg , which represents the average driving speed of vehicles on a specific road segment; parking frequency density s den is calculated by the formula parking density = total parking frequency S / (road length L seg × statistical time T), where S is the total number of parking times in the statistical period, L seg is the road length, and T is the total statistical time, which reflects the stagnation of road traffic.
[0058] Roadside features: traffic flow q in The number of vehicles entering a specific area per unit of time; the queue length l records the length of the vehicle queue waiting for traffic at an intersection or road segment; the delay index d quantifies the time loss of vehicles during traffic; and the phase state P represents the current working state of the traffic light.
[0059] Internet features: real-time congestion index c web Integrating multi-source data such as Internet maps to intuitively reflect the congestion level of the road network; the historical same-period traffic deviation AQ is calculated by the formula traffic deviation = (current traffic q now - historical same-period traffic q his ) / historical same-period traffic, where q now is the current traffic, q his is the historical same-period traffic, and this parameter is used to capture abnormal fluctuations in traffic.
[0060] 2. Spatio-temporal graph neural network optimization model (M-STGCN) An improved spatio-temporal graph convolutional network is proposed to enhance the modeling capability of spatio-temporal correlation: Spatial graph convolutional layer: To accurately depict the relationship between road network topology and traffic propagation, a directed and weighted road network association graph G = (V, E, A) is constructed, where the node set V corresponds to each intersection in the traffic road network, and the edge set E represents the physical connection relationship between intersections. The historical traffic mutual information is used to calculate the edge weight a ij , and the formula for the edge weight between intersections i and j is = historical traffic mutual information I(qi, qj) / maximum mutual information value of the entire road network. In this calculation, I(qi, qj) represents the mutual information of the historical traffic sequence of intersections i and j, which quantifies the dependence between nodes and highlights key correlation paths. Meanwhile, a 3rd-order Chebyshev graph convolution operation is introduced, which realizes spatial feature extraction through the formula: kth layer spatial feature = activation function σ acting on the weighted sum of the standardized Laplacian matrix (Chebyshev polynomial T m × Laplacian matrix × input feature X s (k-1) ). This effectively reduces the impact of data heterogeneity; T m is the Chebyshev polynomial, which optimizes the complexity of graph convolution through recursive calculation; X s (k-1) is the input feature of the previous layer, which can efficiently capture the traffic propagation rules across regions in the road network, and has improved adaptability to complex road network structures by 23% compared to the traditional adjacency matrix method.
[0061] Temporal sequence layer: To address the dynamic time-varying characteristics of traffic flow, a time sequence processing module based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) and attention mechanism is designed. The GRU unit effectively handles the long-term dependence problem of traffic flow through the synergistic effect of reset gate and update gate. The self-attention mechanism is introduced to adaptively allocate weights according to the importance of traffic characteristics at different times, focusing on key scenarios such as peak hours and sudden accidents. Through actual measurement verification, the response delay of this module to sudden congestion can be controlled within 200ms. Compared with the traditional STGCN model, the average absolute error is reduced by 15% and the prediction accuracy is improved by 12% in the short-term traffic prediction task, significantly enhancing the system's perception and response ability to real-time traffic state changes. In the spatio-temporal graph neural network optimization model, to further improve the model's generalization ability and training efficiency, the multi-modal data collected at the vehicle end and roadside are normalized and used as the input of the model.
[0062] By constructing a large-scale road network simulation dataset, M-STGCN is pre-trained, and in actual scenarios, a transfer learning strategy is adopted to quickly adapt to different regional traffic characteristics using a small amount of real-time data, reducing the training time of the model in new scenarios and enhancing the model's adaptability to complex and variable traffic environments.
[0063] 3. Federated learning enhancement mechanism A hierarchical federated learning framework is designed to balance data privacy and model generalization: Edge training: Each regional mobile edge computing (MEC) node serves as the core of distributed training, using a spatio-temporal graph neural network (STGNN) model to process local traffic flow data. In the gradient calculation stage, Laplace noise that meets differential privacy (privacy budget ε=0.5) is injected to effectively prevent the leakage of original data. The training process uses a dynamic batch size strategy, adjusting the batch size to 16-64 according to real-time data traffic, ensuring that regional traffic dynamic characteristics are quickly captured under limited local computing resources.
[0064] Cloud aggregation: The central server serves as the global model hub, innovatively adopting a dynamic intersection weight distribution mechanism. In the model aggregation stage, the actual number of intersections n i is used as a weighted factor to calculate the global model parameters θ i = weighted average of regional model parameters θ i .
[0065] The global model parameters θ global are calculated. This strategy makes the model updates of traffic flow dense areas more significantly influence the global model, improving the model's adaptability to complex road networks. A parameter verification mechanism is also introduced to filter abnormal parameters in the aggregation process according to the 3σ principle, ensuring the stability of the model.
[0066] Adaptive adjustment: To enhance the model's adaptability to special scenarios such as scenic spots and industrial parks, a parameter difference evaluation system based on Euclidean distance is constructed. By calculating the regional model difference = regional parameter θ i The Euclidean distance of the global parameter θ global . Quantify the parameter difference between regional model and global model, set dynamic threshold (initial value 0.8) as adjustment trigger condition. When D i >τ, automatically increase the training round of the corresponding region by 20%, and simultaneously enable the transfer learning strategy, use the historical training parameters of similar scenarios as the initialization weight, accelerate the model convergence speed in special scenarios, and finally realize the dynamic optimization of global traffic signal control strategy.
[0067] The core algorithm of traffic signal control includes: 1. Green wave line dynamic generation algorithm Based on spatio-temporal correlation mining to realize intelligent construction and optimization of green wave corridor: High delay section identification: Road delay index is the core index of traffic congestion quantification, its calculation formula is delay index = (actual travel time average t actual - free flow time t free ) / free flow time × 100%. The difference between actual travel efficiency and theoretical free flow state is considered. Among them, t actual Take the past 1 hour rolling average passing time, which is updated dynamically through real-time traffic flow data; t free =L seg / v speed_limit Calculate the theoretical free flow time based on the legal speed limit and length of the road section. L seg : represents the length of the road section (unit: meter or kilometer, determined according to the actual scene unit conversion); V speed_limit : represents the speed limit of the road section (unit: km / h or m / s, need to match the length unit); t free : refers to the theoretical travel time of a vehicle traveling at the legal speed limit on the road section, which is used to compare and calculate the delay index. When the road delay index exceeds 30% threshold for 15 minutes in a row, the system automatically triggers the green wave corridor creation process, and combines with the real-time traffic data of Gaode / Baidu map for secondary verification to ensure the accuracy of the identification result.
[0068] Multi-objective optimization model: To achieve the global optimization of traffic efficiency, a multi-dimensional objective function is constructed, with the first term being the total delay time equal to the sum of (the actual travel time of all vehicles in the green wave zone minus the free flow travel time), where the free flow travel time = the length of the road segment divided by the legal speed limit value; the second term being the average number of stops equal to the total number of stops of all vehicles in the green wave zone divided by the total number of vehicles, with a stop event defined as a speed less than or equal to 5 km / h and a duration greater than or equal to 3 seconds; the third term being the speed consistency deviation equal to the absolute value of the actual average speed of each road segment in the green wave zone minus the target green wave speed; the final optimization objective being to minimize (the first term multiplied by the delay weight coefficient + the second term multiplied by the stop weight coefficient + the third term multiplied by the speed weight coefficient), with the weight coefficients dynamically adjusted according to the traffic state (the delay weight is increased to 0.6 during the morning peak).
[0069] The model includes three core optimization dimensions: Total delay minimization: D total The cumulative delay time of all vehicles in the aggregated road segment group directly reflects the improvement effect of the green wave scheme on travel efficiency; Stop number control: S stop The average number of stops of vehicles in the green wave zone is counted, effectively reducing idling emissions and fuel consumption; Speed consistency optimization: ∑ N i=1 |V-v i | measures the deviation of the actual speed of each road segment from the green wave speed, ensuring smooth traffic flow; N represents the total number of road segments included in the green wave corridor; V represents the target green wave speed (i.e., the ideal vehicle travel speed designed, unit: km / h); vi represents the actual average speed of the ith road segment (unit: km / h); The model constraint condition adopts a phase difference coordination mechanism: the phase difference between adjacent intersections is calculated according to the following rules: the reference value is calculated as (the physical distance from the upstream intersection to the downstream intersection divided by the target green wave speed) multiplied by 3600; the period constraint is handled when the reference value is greater than the signal period: the final phase difference = the reference value minus the signal period multiplied by N, where N is the maximum integer that satisfies (the final phase difference is less than the signal period); a positive or negative three-second floating compensation amount is added based on real-time traffic data. By accurately calculating the mathematical relationship between intersection spacing, green wave speed, and signal period, seamless connection of green light phases is ensured.
[0070] The weight coefficients a, b, and g are dynamically adjusted based on the entropy weight method. This algorithm analyzes the information entropy of historical traffic data and adaptively allocates the optimization focus of different time periods: the morning peak focuses on reducing delay (a weight increases), the flat peak focuses on speed stability (g weight increases), and a fine-grained control strategy is formed for different time periods. The model solution uses the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to decompose the complex multi-objective optimization problem into sub-problems for iterative solution. In the solving process, auxiliary variables and augmented Lagrange functions are introduced to achieve coordination and balance between different optimization objectives. At the same time, distributed computing architecture is used to accelerate the solving process, so that the algorithm can still converge quickly in large-scale road network scenarios, meeting the real-time control requirements of traffic signals.
[0071] Dynamic iteration mechanism: The system builds a three-level data-driven adaptive optimization system. First, based on the historical traffic flow data of the past half year, the non-parametric kernel density estimation method is used to establish the prior probability distribution model of green wave speed, and the statistical characteristics of the mean value of 45 km / h and the standard deviation of 5 km / h are determined to provide a basic parameter framework for the control strategy. In the real-time running phase, the system continuously collects multi-source data from the signal cycle, including the cross-section flow of roadside sensing devices, the driving trajectory of vehicle terminals, and the cloud traffic situation prediction information. Through the Bayesian optimization algorithm, the real-time data and the prior distribution are dynamically fused, and the phase difference parameters of each intersection are iteratively updated.
[0072] 2. Reinforcement learning dynamic timing algorithm Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) is used to realize continuous optimization of multi-dimensional timing parameters: a deep neural network architecture containing policy network and value network is constructed to fuse real-time traffic flow data perceived by vehicles, road state information collected by roadside devices, and historical traffic rule data stored in the cloud. The data is input into the DDPG algorithm framework. The policy network generates a multi-dimensional timing parameter action sequence in continuous space based on the fused data, such as green light duration and phase switching sequence. The value network evaluates the actions output by the policy network, taking the cumulative discounted reward as the optimization objective, and updates the network parameters using the temporal difference error backpropagation. In the training process, the experience replay mechanism and target network are introduced to effectively alleviate the data correlation and value estimation bias problems in the training process. Through multiple rounds of iterative learning, the system can adaptively output the optimal multi-dimensional timing parameter combination according to the dynamically changing traffic scene, achieving fine-grained and intelligent adjustment of traffic signal control strategies.
[0073] State space (20 dimensions): The state vector s comprehensively represents the intersection traffic state, which is composed of 7 key features, including: P uses One-Hot Encoding to describe 4 basic phase combinations, and realizes the digitalization of discrete state selection through binary vectors [1, 0, 0, 0] to [0, 0, 0, 1]; Q is the real-time flow of 4 import channels (unit: vehicle / minute), and the sliding window algorithm is used to take the average of the past 5 minutes of data to smooth fluctuations; L records the queuing length of each import channel (unit: meters), which is dynamically updated based on vehicle contour recognition technology of video detection equipment; D is the comprehensive delay index, which integrates vehicle stop time, start-stop times and other parameters to construct a composite evaluation index; V avg is the average speed of the road section (unit: km / h), which is collected through the interaction between the OBU device and the roadside unit; H distinguishes between peak and flat peak periods, and dynamically divides them in combination with historical flow data and real-time congestion index; W covers three weather states: sunny, rainy and snowy, and accesses the real-time weather information from the meteorological department API.
[0074] Action space: The continuous action vector a output by the system contains 3 adjustable parameters: a=[△C, △Φ, δ p ], where: △C is the period adjustment amount, with a value range of [-10, 10] seconds, which optimizes the overall traffic efficiency by changing the signal light cycle; △Φ is used to adjust the east-west / north-south direction phase difference, allowing dynamic compensation for the time difference of vehicle flow arrival within the interval [-5, 5] seconds; p is the phase priority coefficient, 0 means straight priority, 1 means left turn priority, and intermediate values support mixed priority strategies for smooth transition.
[0075] Reward function: Based on multi-objective optimization, a weighted reward function is constructed: weighted comprehensive reward = delay reward R D + parking reward R S + efficiency reward R E + stability reward R C , the weights ω i are dynamically adjusted, and the meanings of each sub-item are as follows: The delay reward encourages the system to reduce vehicle stop time by calculating the ratio of the current period to the maximum delay; Parking rewards are based on the ratio of the increase in parking times to the historical peak, reducing unnecessary vehicle starts and stops; Efficiency rewards are based on the ratio of lane throughput change rate to the historical maximum value, improving overall traffic capacity; The stability reward adjusts the amplitude by constraining the period to avoid drastic fluctuations in the control strategy.
[0076] The weight parameters are dynamically adjusted using a fuzzy logic controller. For example, in a congested state (average vehicle speed < 15 km / h), 0.4 and 0.3 are automatically allocated to prioritize alleviating delays and parking problems.
[0077] Network architecture and training results: Using the classic Actor-Critic architecture, both networks consist of three fully connected layers, each containing 256 neurons and using the ReLU activation function. The experience replay pool capacity is set to 100,000 samples, and random sampling is used to alleviate data correlation. A soft target update mechanism is introduced to The algorithm gradually synchronizes the target network parameters with the coefficients of the roadside units (RSUs) and on-board units (OBUs). After training with real-world traffic data collected by actual roadside units (RSUs) and on-board units (OBUs), the average delay at typical intersections was reduced by 42%, and traffic efficiency increased by 35%, effectively verifying the algorithm's engineering practicality.
[0078] 3. Phase sequence intelligent matching algorithm Construct a fusion model of fuzzy rules and neural networks to achieve dynamic optimization of phase solutions: Multi-scenario phase library: Based on traffic flow characteristics and road topology, 8 standard phase combinations are predefined to cover common and complex scenarios in urban traffic: Four-phase solution: Suitable for traffic balancing scenarios. It adopts the classic phase sequence (east-west straight → east-west left turn → north-south straight → north-south left turn) and ensures traffic efficiency in all directions through fixed-cycle allocation. It is often used at intersections on main roads.
[0079] Three-phase solution: When the proportion of east-west left-turn traffic is ≤30%, the east-west straight-through and left-turn phases are dynamically merged to reduce phase switching losses and improve the overall green-to-signal ratio utilization rate. This solution is typically used on sections with tidal traffic characteristics.
[0080] Variable phase solution: For high-frequency pedestrian crossing scenarios (such as around schools and shopping districts), the system can insert 1-2 independent pedestrian phases in real time to form a dynamic combination of 5-6 phases, triggered by pedestrian detection sensors, to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and vehicles.
[0081] Emergency priority phase: Reserve special phase channel, when emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines trigger RFID / video identification signals, give priority to release and dynamically adjust the surrounding intersection phase to build an emergency green wave zone.
[0082] Bus priority phase: Combined with bus lane and vehicle positioning system, extend the green light duration or release early before the arrival of the bus, reduce the bus delay rate.
[0083] Ramp coordination phase: For the expressway entrance and exit, dynamically adjust the phase of the merging area according to the main road and ramp traffic data to relieve the interlaced conflict.
[0084] Tidal lane phase: Cooperate with lane indicators, switch the corresponding phase of the tidal lane according to the change of peak traffic direction.
[0085] Adaptive expansion phase: Support custom phase combination to meet the temporary control needs of special scenes such as construction sections and large events.
[0086] Fuzzy adaptation degree calculation: Real-time collection of traffic flow feature vectors f through multi-source sensing devices (magnetic, radar, video), including left turn, straight, right turn traffic density, and pedestrian crossing flow. Adopt Gaussian membership function to build fuzzy matching model: the adaptation degree of scheme i = the product of the Gaussian probability of each flow feature and its ideal value. i f k c i,k . In the formula, c i,k is the ideal adaptation center value of phase scheme i to flow type k, obtained by historical data clustering analysis; the variance parameter reflects the tolerance range of different schemes to traffic fluctuations. This model deeply integrates expert experience (predefined phase rules) and real-time sensing data, quantifying the adaptation degree of each scheme under the current traffic state.
[0087] Dynamic decision mechanism: Use Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to extract features from the past 30 minutes of traffic time series data, capture the periodicity and sudden change trend of traffic flow, and output the switching probability vector p of each phase scheme. Use the fusion decision formula to select the phase scheme with the maximum switching probability p i and fuzzy adaptation degree μ i weighted sum (weight 0.6). Comprehensive evaluation of scheme priority, where 0.6 is the experience weight coefficient, balancing the timing prediction and real-time adaptation degree. The system decision delay is controlled within 50ms, and the phase matching accuracy rate of the system in complex intersections (including tidal flow, pedestrian-intensive, emergency response, etc.) reaches 92.7%, which is more than 25% more efficient than traditional schemes.
[0088] The functional module design is specifically: 1. Green wave line diagnosis module Realize full-dimensional monitoring and intelligent diagnosis of green wave band operation state: Real-time visualization: dynamically draw the time-distance graph, the horizontal axis is distance (meters), the vertical axis is time (seconds), mark the green light period with green color, superimpose vehicle passing time scatter points, and display the green wave passing rate (target ≥ 85%) in real time; Deviation analysis: calculate the speed deviation = (actual vehicle speed V actual - Target green wave vehicle speed V target ) / target green wave vehicle speed, phase difference deviation = the absolute error sum of actual phase difference of each intersection and planned value, delay deviation ΔD = D real -D pred , the threshold values are ±10%, 5 seconds, and 15% respectively; D real : represents the actual delay time (unit: seconds) of a road section or intersection, which is collected in real time through multi-source data such as vehicle end track and roadside perception; D pred : represents the delay time (unit: seconds) predicted based on the traffic signal control large model; ΔD: the difference between actual delay and predicted delay, used to measure the prediction accuracy of the model and the effectiveness of the control strategy. Intelligent diagnosis: based on Bayesian network to locate faults (such as radar fault of a certain intersection leading to abnormal phase difference), generate a structured report containing problem causes, impact range, and optimization suggestions, support PDF export and email push, and the fault location accuracy is ≥95%.
[0089] Several traffic intersections in Binjiang District of Hangzhou City are selected as pilots, and the lane vehicle flow per hour reaches 2000 during morning and evening peak hours, and the traffic congestion problem is prominent. This pilot aims to realize significant improvement of regional traffic conditions by using the traffic signal control large model SaaS system and method based on vehicle-road cloud multi-modal data fusion proposed in the invention, and the specific goals are to reduce the regional average delay by more than 30%, and to increase the green wave band coverage rate to 70%, effectively alleviate traffic congestion, and improve regional traffic efficiency. The measured data shows that compared with the traditional genetic algorithm, the parameter convergence speed of this mechanism is improved by 40%, and in the typical two-way green wave scenario, the average number of vehicle stops in the green wave band is reduced from 2.3 to 1.5, with a reduction of 35%, which significantly improves the main line traffic efficiency.
[0090] At the data collection level, 2000 connected vehicles were successfully accessed, accounting for 70% of the total number of vehicles in the area. These connected vehicles upload real-time and stable key data such as vehicle trajectory, speed, and parking data to the system through 5G slice networks with a latency of ≤50ms. Meanwhile, 12 mobile edge computing (MEC) devices were deployed in the area, which can accurately and real-time output intersection flow data through advanced radar and camera fusion technology, with an accuracy of 95% and an error control of ≤3 meters in queue length, achieving precise monitoring of the micro traffic situation at the intersection.
[0091] At the cloud processing level, the system integrates real-time traffic data from Gaode, which updates the congestion index every 10 seconds. By deeply integrating this internet traffic data with data collected from vehicles and roadside, a comprehensive three-dimensional traffic situation map is constructed, providing strong data support for the cloud-deployed traffic signal control large model and enabling it to make fast and accurate real-time decisions.
[0092] The control strategy implementation includes: Green wave corridor construction: The system automatically identifies 3 high-delay road segments (delay index 40%-50%), generates an initial green wave speed of 45km / h based on historical commuting data, and adjusts the phase difference through Bayesian optimization to reduce the number of stops from an average of 5 times per kilometer to 3.2 times per kilometer, and the green wave pass rate is increased to 88%.
[0093] Reinforcement learning timing: During the morning peak, the algorithm detects a 150% surge in left-turn traffic on the main road and dynamically extends the left-turn phase by 15 seconds and shortens the straight-ahead phase on the branch road by 10 seconds, reducing the average delay at the intersection from 80 seconds to 55 seconds and improving traffic efficiency by 35%; during the mid-peak period, the system automatically switches to a variable phase scheme based on pedestrian crossing requests (≥10 times per minute), reducing pedestrian waiting time by 25%.
[0094] In terms of quantitative indicators, this pilot has achieved remarkable results. The overall delay in the area has decreased by 42%, the number of vehicle stops has decreased by 38%, the vehicle speed during peak hours has increased from 20km / h to 25km / h, with an increase of 25%, and the green wave coverage rate has reached 75%, far exceeding the expected target.
[0095] In terms of qualitative effects, through the SaaS platform of the application, efficient human-computer collaborative operation is realized. Users can conveniently perform drag-and-drop time-distance diagram editing, and the phase difference adjustment accuracy can reach 1 second, greatly improving the flexibility and accuracy of traffic signal control. In the deployment of temporary plans for major activities, the time is greatly shortened from 2 hours in the traditional way to 15 minutes, significantly improving the efficiency of emergency response. At the same time, the operation and maintenance cost is reduced by 60% compared with the traditional scheme, effectively reducing the economic burden of urban traffic management, fully demonstrating the great advantages and value of the application in practical application.
[0096] The application breaks the data isolation in the traditional traffic system and constructs a deeply collaborative vehicle-road cloud architecture. Under this architecture, vehicles can collect high-precision trajectories with an accuracy of 2.5m; road-side sensing devices can update data at a level of seconds and real-time feedback the traffic state at intersections; the time delay of the cloud decision system is controlled within 100ms, truly realizing the real-time closed loop of vehicle trajectory, road-side state and cloud decision. Compared with the traditional system, the data utilization rate is improved by 300%, the decision response speed is greatly shortened from minutes to seconds, and an efficient control chain of "perception - decision - execution" is successfully constructed, laying a solid foundation for precise and real-time control of traffic signals.
[0097] For the problem of heterogeneous data fusion, the application proposes a hybrid model based on spatio-temporal graph neural network (STGNN) and federated learning. This model effectively solves the spatio-temporal alignment problem of multi-modal data, controls the spatio-temporal alignment error within 10 seconds, and significantly improves the cross-domain generalization ability of the model, with a performance decline of ≤5% in off-site deployment. According to actual verification, the prediction accuracy of the model is as high as 92%, which is improved by 25% compared with the single data source scheme, and can effectively deal with complex and variable road network scenarios, providing more accurate and reliable decision basis for traffic signal control.
[0098] The application constructs a three-level optimization model including green wave generation, reinforcement learning timing, and phase matching, forming a perfect dynamic intelligent decision system. Among them, the response time of the green wave generation model is only 5 minutes, which can quickly identify high delay sections and generate optimized green wave schemes; the iteration period of the reinforcement learning timing model is 20 seconds, which can dynamically adjust the signal timing parameters according to the real-time traffic state; the decision delay of the phase matching model is controlled within 50ms, which can quickly and accurately select the optimal phase scheme. This decision system realizes multi-scale control from macroscopic green wave corridor planning to microscopic phase fine adjustment, and the response speed to complex traffic scenarios such as tidal flow and sudden congestion is improved by 5 times, effectively reducing the average delay at intersections by more than 40%, significantly improving the traffic efficiency.
[0099] Through the combination of centralized deployment of cloud large models and lightweight inference of edge nodes, "zero localization deployment" is realized, the initial deployment cost of small and medium-sized cities is reduced to 40% of that of the traditional scheme, and the rapid popularization of intelligent traffic technology is promoted.
[0100] The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any changes in shape or material composition are allowed, as long as the structure design provided by the present application is adopted.
