Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fastening equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a dispatching and control system and method for a transport fleet. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional transport fleets consist of manned vehicles, each typically equipped with one or two drivers. This wastes significant human resources and manpower, and lacks a unified and efficient dispatch system, resulting in low transport efficiency. In recent years, the development of autonomous driving technology has led to the emergence of some driverless transport fleets. However, precisely because there are no drivers, unexpected situations encountered during transport operations cannot be detected and responded to in a timely manner, often resulting in traffic accidents and causing loss of life and property.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a scheduling and control system and method for manned and unmanned collaborative transportation fleets. On the one hand, this will reduce labor costs and improve transportation efficiency, and on the other hand, it will enable timely detection and handling of emergencies encountered by the transportation fleet during operation, thus ensuring the safety of life and property.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, patent CN 112447059 A discloses a system and method for managing a fleet of transport vehicles using remote control operation. Remote control operation can be beneficial for performing fleet management tasks such as rebalancing, repositioning vehicles to charging stations, and / or assisting autonomous operation of vehicles encountering obstacles and unable to move forward independently. However, it only applies to remote control of electric vehicles and does not consider handling unexpected situations during vehicle operation, posing risks to traffic safety and cargo transport delays. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a dispatching and control system for a transportation fleet, comprising:
[0032] The system includes an unmanned transport unit, a portable control system and a vehicle-mounted control unit connected to the unmanned transport unit via a wireless communication link, a vehicle-mounted dispatching unit connected to the vehicle-mounted control unit via a gateway, and a higher-level dispatching center connected to the vehicle-mounted dispatching unit. The portable control system and the vehicle-mounted control unit are connected via a wireless communication link. The vehicle-mounted dispatching unit and the vehicle-mounted control unit are located on the dispatching and control vehicle. The dispatcher operates the vehicle-mounted dispatching unit, and the operator operates the vehicle-mounted control unit. The portable control system is carried by the operator. The superior dispatch center transmits task instructions to the vehicle-mounted dispatch unit. The vehicle-mounted dispatch unit determines the task dispatch information based on the task instructions and transmits it to the vehicle-mounted control unit. The vehicle-mounted control unit transmits control instructions to the unmanned transport units, controlling the unmanned transport vehicles to convoy according to the control instructions. During the convoy's movement, the unmanned transport units collect vehicle status information, environmental information within a 200-meter radius of the unmanned transport vehicles, and image information within a 10-meter radius around each vehicle. The collected vehicle status information, environmental information, and image information are transmitted to the vehicle-mounted control unit. The dispatcher, based on the environmental information surrounding the unmanned transport vehicles processed by the vehicle-mounted control unit, determines whether there are any emergencies such as vehicle breakdowns within the convoy. If no emergencies are found, the operator... Periodically, the vehicle-mounted control platform provides feedback on fleet task execution information to the dispatcher until the task is completed. In case of emergencies, the dispatcher transmits the emergency information to the vehicle-mounted control platform. Based on this information, the operator takes over the unmanned transport vehicle from the platform, checks its status, and if it is normal, remotely controls the vehicle to complete the transport task, transmitting the task execution information to the vehicle-mounted dispatch unit. If there are any abnormalities, the operator exits the vehicle, checks the unmanned transport vehicle using a portable operating system, resolves the problem, and remotely controls the vehicle to complete the transport task, transmitting the task execution information to the vehicle-mounted dispatch unit. The dispatcher receives the task execution information through the vehicle-mounted dispatch unit, summarizes and encrypts it, and then transmits it to the higher-level dispatch center. This invention's dispatch and control system, through remote monitoring and control, coordinates with unmanned transport fleets, enabling a minimum of two people to control the fleet, reducing labor costs. It also provides both vehicle-mounted and portable operating modes to handle emergencies involving unmanned transport vehicles during transport, ensuring transport progress, efficiency, and property safety.
[0033] The upper-level dispatch center includes a remote communication module for transmitting task instructions and receiving task execution information transmitted by the vehicle-mounted control system.
[0034] The vehicle-mounted dispatch unit includes a vehicle-mounted dispatch platform, a first display module, a first operation module, and a first vehicle-mounted communication module. The first display module and the first operation module are installed in front of the dispatcher's seat. The first display module can be a reliable and stable automotive-grade vehicle-mounted display screen used for displaying information from the vehicle-mounted dispatch platform. The first operation module can be one or more combinations of a keyboard, trackball, or mouse used by the dispatcher for inputting information into the vehicle-mounted dispatch platform. Upon discovering an emergency, the dispatcher operates the vehicle-mounted dispatch platform through the first operation module to transmit information to the operator located in the vehicle-mounted control unit. The first vehicle-mounted communication module is connected to the upper-level dispatch center via a wireless communication link, enabling information exchange between the vehicle-mounted dispatch platform and the upper-level dispatch center. The vehicle-mounted dispatch platform and the vehicle-mounted control unit exchange information through a gateway. The vehicle-mounted dispatch platform receives task instructions from the superior dispatch center, determines task dispatch information, and interacts with the vehicle-mounted control unit through the gateway to transmit task dispatch information and information on emergencies. When the vehicle-mounted control unit executes a task, the vehicle-mounted dispatch platform receives the task execution information from the vehicle-mounted control unit and uploads it to the superior dispatch center. The vehicle-mounted dispatch center can also encrypt the information uploaded to the superior dispatch center.
[0035] The vehicle-mounted control unit includes: a vehicle-mounted control platform, a second display module, a second operation module, a control module, a third display module, and a second vehicle-mounted communication module. The second and third display modules can be reliable, stable automotive-grade displays. The second display module, located in front of the operator's seat, displays task scheduling and execution information acquired by the vehicle-mounted control platform, vehicle status information of the unmanned transport vehicle, panoramic image information surrounding the unmanned transport vehicle, and control information of the unmanned transport vehicle. The third display module, located in front of the dispatcher's seat, displays environmental information surrounding the unmanned transport vehicle after fusion processing by the vehicle-mounted control platform. Environmental information surrounding each unmanned transport vehicle in the fleet can be independently displayed on the third display module, allowing the dispatcher to accurately determine if any emergencies exist within the fleet. The second operation module, selectable from a keyboard, trackball, or mouse, is located in front of the operator's seat and is used for inputting information from the vehicle-mounted control platform. The control module can be a joystick for inputting control commands to the unmanned transport vehicle. The second vehicle-mounted communication module and the third vehicle-mounted communication module of the unmanned transport unit form a wireless communication link to realize the transmission of interactive information between the vehicle-mounted control unit and the unmanned transport unit. The vehicle-mounted control platform and the vehicle-mounted dispatch platform interact with each other through a gateway. The onboard control platform receives task scheduling information from the onboard dispatch platform. The operator issues control commands to the unmanned transport units through the onboard control platform to control the transport fleet to perform transport tasks. At the same time, the onboard control platform receives vehicle status information, surrounding environmental information, and panoramic image information of the unmanned transport vehicles. The task scheduling and execution information, vehicle status information, surrounding panoramic image information, and control information of the unmanned transport vehicles obtained by the onboard control platform are all displayed on the second display module. The onboard control platform integrates and processes the surrounding environmental information of the unmanned transport vehicles. The surrounding environmental information of each unmanned transport vehicle in the fleet can be displayed independently on the third display module, so that the dispatcher can accurately determine whether there are any emergencies in the fleet. When dealing with emergencies, the operator gets out of the vehicle and uses the portable control system for control and maintenance. At this time, the onboard control platform transmits the task scheduling information to the portable control system. The portable control system receives the vehicle status information and surrounding panoramic image information of the unmanned transport units and sends control commands to the unmanned transport units.
[0036] The portable control system includes a portable control terminal and a portable communication module. The portable communication module, along with the second and third vehicle-mounted communication modules, forms a wireless communication link, enabling the transmission of interactive information between the portable control system, the vehicle-mounted control unit, and the unmanned transport unit. The portable control terminal includes a touchscreen and a keypad, with a joystick and buttons for the operator to input control commands for the unmanned transport vehicle and information for the portable control terminal. When an unmanned transport unit experiences an emergency requiring the operator to disembark, the operator can remotely control the unmanned transport unit via the portable control terminal. The portable control terminal receives task scheduling information from the vehicle-mounted control platform, vehicle status information, and panoramic image information of the unmanned transport unit's surroundings via the portable communication module. Based on the specific situation of the unmanned transport unit, the operator issues control commands to the unmanned transport unit through the portable control terminal and portable communication module to complete the transport task. After task completion, the portable control terminal generates task execution information, which is transmitted via the portable communication module, then through the vehicle-mounted control unit and vehicle-mounted dispatch unit, and finally uploaded to the higher-level dispatch center.
[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the unmanned transportation unit includes a vehicle platform, an unmanned driving module, a chassis controller, an environmental information acquisition module, a panoramic image acquisition module, and a third vehicle-mounted communication module. The third vehicle-mounted communication module, together with the second vehicle-mounted communication module and a portable communication module, forms a wireless communication link to enable the transmission of interactive information between the unmanned transportation unit and the vehicle-mounted control unit and portable control system. The unmanned transportation unit comprises multiple unmanned transport vehicles, and the vehicle-mounted communication modules of each unmanned transport vehicle communicate with each other via a wireless communication link. The vehicle platform is used for the storage and transportation of materials. After receiving instructions from the unmanned driving module, the vehicle platform synchronously enters automatic control mode, executing actions such as starting, acceleration / deceleration, braking, steering, and stopping. The unmanned driving module is located on the vehicle platform and includes an environmental perception system, a navigation and positioning system, and an autonomous motion control system. The environmental perception system models the surrounding environment in real time, the navigation and positioning system provides real-time position and motion attitude information, and the autonomous motion control system combines the current environmental information, the vehicle platform's position and attitude information, and the input remote driving or platooning driving instructions to generate motion control commands for the vehicle platform in real time. Simultaneously, combined with the wireless communication link of the unmanned transportation unit, it enables autonomous driving, remote driving, and platooning of the unmanned transport vehicles. The environmental information acquisition module is installed in the upper part of the vehicle platform. It employs a visual fusion scheme using multi-view cameras, thermal imaging night vision cameras, and low-light night vision cameras to collect environmental information within a 200-meter radius of the unmanned transport vehicle around the clock. This information is then transmitted back to the onboard control platform for fusion processing and displayed on a third display module to assist the dispatcher in identifying any emergencies around the unmanned transport vehicle. The panoramic image acquisition module includes a fisheye camera and a controller. The fisheye cameras are installed at the front, rear, left, and right of the vehicle platform, collecting image information within a 10-meter radius around the platform. This image is then stitched together by the controller to form a panoramic image, which is transmitted back to the onboard control unit or portable control system to assist the operator in observing the surrounding environment of the unmanned transport vehicle and thus better remotely controlling it. The chassis controller collects vehicle platform status information and transmits it back to the onboard control unit or portable control system. It also enables the conversion between the Ethernet signal of the unmanned driving module and the CAN bus signal of the vehicle platform.
[0038] The present invention relates to a dispatching and control system for a transport convoy. When a transport task is executed, the superior dispatch center issues a task instruction to the vehicle dispatching system. The vehicle dispatching system's onboard dispatching platform generates task dispatching information based on the task instruction and transmits it to the onboard control platform of the onboard control unit via a gateway. The onboard control platform generates control instructions, which are then transmitted to the unmanned transport units. The unmanned transport vehicles are controlled to convoy and travel according to the control instructions. During the convoy's movement, the unmanned transport units collect vehicle status information, environmental information within a 200-meter radius of the unmanned transport vehicles, and image information within a 10-meter radius around each vehicle. The collected vehicle status information, environmental information, and image information are transmitted to the onboard control unit. The dispatcher determines whether there are vehicles in the convoy based on the environmental information surrounding the unmanned transport vehicles, which has been fused and processed by the onboard control unit. In case of emergencies such as breakdowns, if no emergencies occur, the operator will periodically report the fleet's mission execution information to the dispatcher through the onboard control platform until the mission is completed. If an emergency occurs, the dispatcher will transmit the emergency information to the onboard control platform. Based on the emergency information, the operator will control the onboard control platform to take over the unmanned transport vehicle, check the vehicle's status information, and if the vehicle is in normal condition, the operator will remotely control the unmanned transport vehicle through the onboard control unit to complete the transport mission and transmit the mission execution information to the onboard dispatch unit. If there is an anomaly, the operator will get out of the vehicle, take over the unmanned transport unit through the portable operating system, check the unmanned transport vehicle and handle the problem, remotely control the unmanned transport vehicle to complete the transport mission, and transmit the mission execution information through the onboard control unit to the onboard dispatch unit. The onboard dispatch unit will receive the mission execution information, summarize and encrypt it, and then transmit it to the superior dispatch center.
[0039] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for dispatching and controlling a transport fleet, comprising the following steps:
[0040] The S100 generates task scheduling information based on task instructions, and generates control instructions based on the task scheduling information to control the unmanned transport vehicle fleet to travel in formation and carry out transport tasks.
[0041] During the operation of the S200, it determines whether there are any emergencies based on the environmental information around the unmanned transport vehicle. If there are no emergencies, it provides feedback on the task execution information at regular intervals until the task is completed. If there are emergencies, it transmits the emergency information to the onboard control unit.
[0042] The S300 checks the vehicle status information of the unmanned transport vehicle through the onboard control platform to see if it is normal. If it is normal, the operator remotely drives the vehicle through the onboard control platform to complete the task and report the task execution information; if it is abnormal, the operator gets out of the vehicle to handle the situation.
[0043] The S400 operator receives vehicle status information from the unmanned transport vehicle via a portable control terminal, analyzes and handles related issues, remotely drives the unmanned transport vehicle to complete the transportation task, and provides feedback on task execution information.
[0044] Preferably, after S400, it also includes:
[0045] The S500 vehicle dispatch platform receives fleet task execution information, summarizes and encrypts it, and then uploads it to the superior dispatch center.
[0046] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
