Some roads are rugged and winding, and there are even 180-degree turning scenes. However, the vehicle body size is large, and the single vehicle blind area is large, which brings safety hazards to mine truck operation.

[0003] In the field of transportation, the method for managing the intersection is usually based on the scene of people-vehicles-roads. According to the monitoring information and cloud big data, the vehicle flow and pedestrian flow information are analyzed, and then the traffic signal light duration is intelligently controlled. However, there is little research on the management method of mine intersection. Some research is based on the data collected by the cloud to control the communication between mine trucks and surrounding vehicles with V2X function, to distinguish between manned vehicles and unmanned mine trucks, and then to allocate road rights. However, for mine roads, many social vehicles and pedestrians do not have the ability to communicate with V2X. Therefore, in such a scene, it is necessary to have radar and camera perception capabilities to intelligently identify vehicles, pedestrians and other obstacles in the management area. The cloud comprehensively analyzes the mine truck driving data in the mine area, intelligently controls the lifting and falling of the intersection barrier gate and the state of other prompt devices, thereby managing the overlapping driving area and avoiding safety accidents.

[0004] In the problem of overlapping mine roads, the traditional intersection management is mostly based on vehicle-vehicle or person-vehicle interaction, and then the red and green lights are controlled according to the monitoring screen to achieve time-sharing control.

[0049] The perception analysis unit is used for target recognition, target tracking and obstacle information detection, and sends the perception results to the roadside communication unit, and at the same time sends the corresponding video to the cloud control decision unit.

[0050] The gate sub-device is used to perform intersection management, and when the license plate is recognized or started by pedestrians, the gate opening request is initiated to the cloud control decision unit, and information prompt and display of the distance of the mine car near the intersection are performed.

[0051] The vehicle-mounted unit is used for controlling the mine car according to the received obstacle information, and sending mine car driving information to the cloud control decision unit.

[0052] Specifically, the cloud control decision unit respectively performs obstacle information storage, pole lifting request processing and pole lowering request processing. Among them, the obstacle information storage: the platform receives the obstacle information reported by the roadside unit through the ts808 module, and performs persistent storage;

[0053] The pole lifting request processing: the platform receives the pole lifting application of the roadside unit through the tg808 module, if there is no obstacle information reported by the roadside unit within 10s, it is determined that the pole can be lifted, the associated intersection and the road in the intersection are found according to the roadside unit information, and the road to be blocked is sent to the road right, which controls the road right of each working vehicle, and sends the pole lifting instruction to the roadside unit;

[0054] If the roadside unit reports obstacle information within 10s, a timing task is created, and whether there is still obstacle is detected again after 30s, until there is no obstacle, the timing task is ended;

[0055] The pole lowering request processing: the platform receives the pole lowering notification of the vehicle out of the intersection through the tg808, and queries the related intersection road and sends it to the road right, and the road right releases the road control.

[0056] Specifically, the communication step of the roadside communication unit is: data interaction with the cloud platform through 5G, synchronizing the current barrier sub-device state; receiving the barrier control instruction sent by the cloud control platform, and controlling the barrier actuator to execute; receiving the obstacle information and the like sent by the perception unit, and forwarding it to the cloud control platform through the 5G network, and sending it to the mine truck-mounted system through V2X.

[0058] Specifically, the barrier sub-device is used for integrated scheme management of the barrier lever, the license plate recognition camera, the traffic light, the display screen and the loudspeaker, and the barrier is remotely requested to be opened through license plate number recognition, the cloud controls the barrier lifting and lowering, the traffic light and the voice prompt, and simultaneously displays the mine car approaching distance in real time; the barrier sub-device adopts a gateway integrated scheme: the barrier lever, the license plate recognition camera, the traffic light, the display screen and the loudspeaker are integrated on one or two gateways, and then communication is realized based on TCP Socket mode, and the gateway has TTS DIDORS485 / 232 function.

[0059] Specifically, the workflow of the vehicle-mounted unit is as follows: calculate the matching point of the global reference trajectory corresponding to the current position of the vehicle, denoted as pointkey; starting from pointkey, calculate 48 trajectory points with a 1m interval between each two trajectory points; construct the vehicle body boundbox in sequence at the 48 trajectory points according to the relevant parameters of the vehicle, the coordinates of the path points, and the heading; calculate whether there is an intersection between the obstacle convex polygon and the vehicle body boundbox using the split axis algorithm; if the two polygons have an intersection, the path distance value of the obstacle from the current vehicle is required.

The bundled setup of the two facilitates subsequent data analysis. It can adopt fixed and multi-point collection, and the proximity to the roadside communication unit can send out the real-time collected messages as quickly as possible, improving the efficiency of information transmission. At the same time, it can provide a way to collect road conditions in real time from multiple aspects and through multiple channels, in addition to the road condition collection methods of autonomous vehicles, so as to provide richer road condition information for the cloud control decision-making unit to make decisions and analyses.

After the communication service unit receives the obstacle information and barrier related information, it is sent to the cloud platform through the TCP method. After the cloud platform processes it, the opening response is sent to the communication service unit through the TCP, and then the opening information is published through the ZMQ, realizing the control of the barrier.

[0075] Embodiments of the second aspect of the application propose a management and control method for a mine operation path and a social road intersection.
