[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the method for estimating the delivery volume of the unmanned delivery vehicle on a road section provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for estimating the delivery volume of the unmanned delivery vehicle on a road section. The method is applied to determining the delivery quantity of the unmanned delivery vehicle on urban sections and includes:

[0030] S101. Obtain the driving state information and vehicle information of the unmanned delivery vehicle, and determine the road geometric information in combination with the actual road network and specification standards.

[0031] Specifically, the unmanned delivery vehicle information includes vehicle information and vehicle driving information. By means of actual measurement, obtain the three-dimensional geometric information such as the length, height, and width of the unmanned delivery vehicle to be put on this road, as well as the physical information of the delivery vehicle such as the position of the front axle, the position of the rear axle, and the wheelbase of the vehicle. In addition, relying on the test results of the unmanned delivery vehicle test site, obtain the driving state information such as the running speed, expected acceleration, expected deceleration, following model, safe lateral spacing, and driving rules (driving on the left / right) of the unmanned delivery vehicle.

[0032] Furthermore, obtain the road information of the unmanned delivery vehicle to be put. Based on actual measurement, obtain the road geometric information such as the road length, road width, number of lanes, and isolation method of this road. For roads that have not been completed, it is necessary to rely on the urban road design specifications and design plans to obtain information such as the urban road length, road width, number of lanes, and isolation method. Secondly, rely on the urban road design specifications to obtain the urban road capacity data, and design the urban road traffic flow based on the smoothness level. Finally, rely on traffic surveys to obtain the traffic flow composition of urban roads (motor vehicle traffic flow composition and non-motor vehicle traffic flow composition).

[0033] S102. Build a model of the unmanned delivery vehicle and the urban section, rely on traffic simulation means to evaluate the impact of the unmanned delivery vehicle on the basic urban section, determine the unmanned delivery vehicle delivery volume under different road conditions, and feedback the unmanned delivery vehicle delivery suggestions to traffic management personnel.

[0034] Specifically, calibrate the model parameters of the unmanned delivery vehicle based on the driving state information and vehicle information of the unmanned delivery vehicle, build a delivery vehicle model, build motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle models based on existing standards and research results according to research needs, and set up an urban road model and a road traffic flow environment based on the road information. Design simulation experiments under different unmanned delivery vehicle flows based on the vehicle model and the road model, obtain data such as the running speed, flow, and delay of other traffic modes after the unmanned delivery vehicle is put, calibrate the acceptable degree of the impact of the delivery vehicle on other traffic after it is put, and set an impact judgment threshold. If the running parameters of other traffic under the simulation flow of the unmanned delivery vehicle reach the set impact judgment threshold, the delivery volume corresponding to the density of the current unmanned delivery vehicle running on the road is the number of unmanned delivery vehicles that can be put on this road model. Finally, based on various types of road models, fit the unmanned delivery vehicle delivery volume to establish a general unmanned delivery vehicle section delivery model.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, in view of the standardized management requirements of driverless delivery vehicles, by combining the concept of traffic simulation with traffic impact assessment, it is determined that the impact of the deployment of driverless delivery vehicles on road traffic shall not exceed the acceptable impact threshold, and the acceptable impact threshold may be a 5% decrease in speed. Specifically, the preset time threshold is determined according to actual situations such as road shape, size, isolation method, and management requirements. If the impact of the deployment of the driverless delivery vehicle on other traffic on the road exceeds the acceptable impact threshold, the current number of deployed driverless delivery vehicles is determined as the recommended value of the number of deployed driverless delivery vehicles.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, the impact of the deployment of driverless delivery vehicles under the condition of motor-vehicle and non-motor-vehicle separation is introduced for the road scenario described above, where the acceptable impact threshold is a 5% decrease in speed.

[0037] First, the driverless delivery vehicle information acquisition is more based on the requirements of regional trial operation. It is determined that the current length of the driverless delivery vehicle is 2.5 m, the width is 1.0 m, the height is 1.7 m, the front axle length is 0.49 m, and the rear axle length is 2.22 m. The expected speed of the driverless delivery vehicle is determined to be 12 - 14 km / h, the acceleration time from 0 - 10 km / h does not exceed 4 s, the acceleration time from 0 - 20 km / h does not exceed 7.6 s, the lateral spacing is 0.5 m, and the driving direction is to drive on the right. Based on the policy requirements for the current management of driverless delivery vehicles as non-motor vehicles, a non-motor vehicle following model is set for the driverless delivery vehicle based on existing research.

[0038] Second, it is determined that the road section is a motor-vehicle and non-motor-vehicle separated road, with road lengths of 150 m, 200 m, 250 m, 300 m, 350 m, 400 m, 450 m, road widths of 2 m, 2.5 m, 3 m, 3.5 m, 4 m, 4.5 m, 5 m, the road isolation method is motor-vehicle and non-motor-vehicle separation, and the driverless delivery vehicle travels on the non-motor vehicle lane. Based on traffic surveys, the proportion of electric bicycles and bicycles is approximately 7:3. Relying on the regulations on the traffic capacity of non-motor vehicle lanes in the "Urban Road Engineering Design Specification" and combining with the non-motor vehicle lane smoothness calculation formula (Formula 1), the non-motor vehicle flow of urban roads is calculated as shown in Table 1.

[0039]

[0040] Where: q —— is the equivalent bicycle traffic volume converted to 1 hour during the observation period (bikes / h)

[0041] c —— is the corresponding traffic capacity of the non-motor vehicle lane (bikes / (h·m))

[0042] W —— is the corresponding non-motor vehicle lane width (m)

[0043] Table 1

[0044]

[0045] Next, using existing simulation technologies, relying on the parameter calibration results of the unmanned delivery vehicle and the road model calibration results in the simulation platform, an unmanned delivery vehicle simulation model and an urban road simulation scenario are constructed. At the same time, bicycle and electric bicycle models are constructed based on existing research, and simulation experiments are carried out with different unmanned delivery vehicle flows.

[0046] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the simulation experiment of the unmanned delivery vehicle under the condition of mixed motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic, which includes electric bicycles, non-motor vehicles and unmanned delivery vehicles. The unmanned delivery vehicle adopts the driving rule of keeping to the right, and bicycles and non-motor vehicles adopt the driving rule of keeping to either side.

[0047] Furthermore, relying on the output of the simulation experiment, the running speed, flow and vehicle density of non-motor vehicles are obtained, and the reduction of the non-motor vehicle speed under different numbers of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use is calculated and compared with the influence judgment threshold. If the speed reduction is less than the set threshold (a 5% reduction), it is judged that the current number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use can continue to increase. When the non-motor vehicle speed reduction is greater than 5%, it is judged that the current unmanned delivery vehicle flow has reached the upper limit, and if the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use continues to increase, it will seriously affect the normal operation of non-motor vehicles. At this time, based on the density of unmanned delivery vehicles on the road, the number of unmanned delivery vehicles that can be put into use currently can be calculated according to formula (Equation 2) (Table 2).

[0048]

[0049] Where: m — the number of vehicles that can be put into use simultaneously on a road of length l;

[0050] k u — the instantaneous average density of unmanned delivery vehicles;

[0051] l — the length of the non-motor vehicle lane.

[0052] Table 2

[0053]

[0054] Finally, according to the results of the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use, the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use with different widths is fitted according to the road length to obtain the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use under different road lengths and road widths for the same unmanned delivery vehicle. Figure 3It is a fitting curve of the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use under the condition of separated operation of motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles with different lengths and widths of non-motor vehicle lanes. When the curve is generated, it will be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. If the model of the unmanned delivery vehicle remains unchanged and the road traffic conditions also remain unchanged, the number of such unmanned delivery vehicles put into use on urban roads can be calculated based on this curve, and the estimated values of the number of unmanned delivery vehicles for all road lengths and road widths can be obtained through interpolation method.

[0055] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of the device for estimating the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use in a section provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, the device includes: a parameter setting module, an unmanned delivery vehicle operation simulation module, an unmanned delivery vehicle put-in quantity fitting module, and an unmanned delivery vehicle put-in suggestion publishing module, where:

[0056] The parameter setting module 401 is used to obtain vehicle model parameters and road traffic model parameters.

[0057] Specifically, the parameter setting module 401 includes three functions: vehicle model parameter setting, road traffic parameter setting, and traffic impact threshold setting. The vehicle model parameter setting function is used to input geometric parameter information such as the length, width, height, and wheelbase of the unmanned delivery vehicle, as well as driving state information such as the speed, expected acceleration, following model, and lateral spacing of the unmanned delivery vehicle. The road traffic parameter setting function is used to input the separated form of motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles on the road where the unmanned delivery vehicle travels, as well as the width, length, and number of lanes of the lane. In addition, the input of parameters such as road traffic flow and traffic flow parameters is also carried out in this function; the traffic impact threshold setting function is used to determine the acceptable degree of the impact of the unmanned delivery vehicle put-in on traffic. Managers can set a traffic impact judgment threshold as a judgment condition for determining the number of unmanned delivery vehicles put into use.

[0058] The unmanned delivery vehicle operation simulation module 402 is used to model the parameters set in the parameter setting module 401 and construct a simulation model. The unmanned delivery vehicle operation simulation module 402 relies on existing simulation software to construct the vehicle model and road model of the unmanned delivery vehicle, set the traffic flow and traffic flow composition according to the actual investigation results, and combine the actual separation method of the road and the operation management rules of the unmanned delivery vehicle to set general motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle models, conduct simulation experiments under different road conditions and different unmanned delivery vehicle traffic flows, and output the operation state data of motor vehicles / non-motor vehicles and the state data of unmanned delivery vehicles obtained from the simulation.

[0059] The unmanned delivery vehicle delivery volume fitting module 403 is used to evaluate the traffic operation impact on the simulation results output by the unmanned delivery vehicle operation simulation module 402 by using the traffic impact judgment threshold. If the operation state of motor vehicles / non-motor vehicles reaches the traffic impact judgment threshold, it is considered that the number of unmanned delivery vehicles calculated from the delivery vehicle density corresponding to the current unmanned delivery vehicle delivery flow condition is the delivery volume that the current road can bear. At the same time, if the current delivery vehicle model and the road traffic model are the same as those in the historical test, the delivery vehicle delivery volumes obtained from multiple experiments will be curve-fitted for the delivery curve. If the input unmanned delivery vehicle model and the road traffic model remain unchanged later, and the road length and width required for testing are within the historical test data, interpolation and other methods can be directly used to determine the number of unmanned delivery vehicles by calling the fitted curve.

[0060] The unmanned delivery vehicle delivery suggestion publishing module 404 is used to publish the delivery volume result obtained by the unmanned delivery vehicle delivery volume fitting module 403, and provide the traffic management personnel with the number of unmanned delivery vehicles under the required road length, width and isolation method.
