Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automatic parking, in particular to a parking space complexity quantitative evaluation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The parking space environment complexity quantitative evaluation gives the complexity level of the target parking space by analyzing various information of the target parking space and the environment, and can be used for guiding parking space allocation in intelligent parking lot, parking space selection in automatic valet parking, and parking scene evaluation in automatic parking system test.

[0003] In the automatic parking system test, the mainstream method of parking space complexity evaluation is to extract real data, simulation data and experience data to obtain automatic parking test scene elements, and then combine different types of environmental elements to control the environmental complexity of the test scene. This method, which classifies the complexity of environmental elements through fuzzy statements and uses artificial design and prior knowledge to obtain environmental complexity rating, cannot accurately quantify the complexity of the parking space environment, which is not conducive to guiding the improvement of the automatic parking test system.

[0004] Establishing a comprehensive evaluation model needs to go through three steps of index selection, weight assignment and comprehensive evaluation. Most of the current models use objective weight assignment methods such as entropy weight method, coefficient of variation method and CRITIC method, which are mostly based on statistics and have a large degree of mutual influence between samples. Moreover, they cannot be well applied to single sample evaluation, and the vehicle environment complexity evaluation is more oriented towards single parking space evaluation. Therefore, the present application proposes a weight secondary distribution method based on the objective data of the sample itself, which uses index square sum normalization to redistribute the weight, and can assign a larger weight to the index when it approaches the critical value. Finally, a parking space environment complexity quantitative evaluation model is established by combining the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a parking space complexity quantitative evaluation method, which can provide more accurate guidance for subsequent researches such as intelligent parking lot parking space allocation, automatic valet parking space selection and automatic parking system test.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present application is as follows: a parking space complexity quantitative evaluation method, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1, comprehensively consider various common scenes such as ground and underground, parking lot and on-street parking, extract evaluation factors that can affect the complexity of the parking space environment, including seven types of parking space, parking space line attribute, parking space occupancy on both sides, parking space boundary curvature, parking lane width, parking space size, and parking space obstacle situation, and divide the parking lane width, parking space size and parking space obstacle situation into decisive indicators, and the other indicators are general indicators;

[0008] S2, to exclude the influence of data dimension, all indicators are normalized to the interval [0-1] according to their relative difficulty; for qualitative factors that are difficult to quantify, they are directly assigned according to their relative difficulty; the min-max method is used to quantify quantitative factors whose complexity changes linearly with the value; for quantitative factors whose complexity changes nonlinearly with the value, select a function with the same change trend to represent. i ' is the original value of the indicator, u i is the normalized value of the indicator, and the specific normalization method is as follows:

[0018]

[0019] 6) Let S be the minimum parking space size required, then

[0020]

[0021] 7) The obstacle indicator u7' is the distance from the center of the obstacle to the center of the parking space. To simplify the calculation, the obstacle is represented as a circle with the geometric center of the obstacle as the center and the maximum distance from the geometric center to the obstacle contour as the radius R, then

[0022]

[0023] S3, the decisive indicators are regarded as a whole and general indicators participate in analytic hierarchy process to solve initial weight, so that the decisive indicators as a whole obtain more than half weight, and then according to the square sum of the normalized value of each decisive indicator, that is, the relative difficulty between each decisive indicator, the corresponding decisive indicator weight is determined, and the main factor prominent weight is obtained; the weight solving steps include:

[0024] 1) the judgment matrix B=(b ij ) z×z , z=5; wherein: b ij is the relative importance of index i relative to index j, which is valued according to table 1; z is the number of input indexes;

[0025] Table 1 judgment matrix importance grade scale

[0026]

[0027] 2) solve the maximum eigenvalue λ max of the judgment matrix B and the corresponding eigenvector T

[0028] 3) judgment matrix consistency check:

[0029] ① calculate the consistency index CI:

[0030]

[0031] ② calculate the consistency ratio CR, and the average random consistency index RI can be obtained by referring to table 2:

[0032]

[0033] Table 2 average random consistency value

[0034]

[0035] ③ if CR<0.1, it meets the consistency requirement, otherwise the judgment matrix should be rebuilt

[0036] 4) after normalization of T, the primary weight W'=(w1, w2, w3, w4, w d )

[0037]

[0038] 5) let u k represent the normalized value of the kth index of the parking space, then the weight of the kth index is

[0039]

[0040] The main factor prominent weight W=(w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7) is obtained

[0042]

[0043]

[0062] Appendix Figure 3 For parking space d index weight graph: when the parking space size index approaches the critical value, the invention gives it a greater weight. For the obstacle index, there are no obstacles around parking space d, which is an invalid index, and the invention does not give it weight.
