Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of intelligent traffic perception technology, in particular to a trajectory data driven highway litter detection and avoidance warning method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous growth of highway mileage, the number of motor vehicles is increasing. The number of accidents induced by highway litter is also increasing. These litters include not only the goods dropped from trucks due to insufficient bundling, but also the debris dropped from cars, and some illegal litter thrown by drivers. These items, large or small, pose a great threat to highway users. Therefore, real-time and accurate detection of highway litter has become a problem to be solved.

[0003] Unlike motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, pedestrians and other targets on the highway, litters do not have general features in images. At the same time, litter perception based on visual sensors may produce false positives due to camera shaking, brightness changes, and shadow shaking. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application is based on radar and other non-vision sensors to collect trajectories, which has become a trend for the development of intelligent highways in the future. Vehicles inherently have the behavior of avoiding litters. Based on historical vehicle trajectory data and real-time vehicle trajectory distribution, litter judgment and identification can be achieved in a statistical sense, thereby realizing indirect judgment of litters without relying on visual sensors. The highway litter detection and avoidance warning method provided by the present application uses real-time trajectory data of vehicles obtained by non-vision sensors (for example, CN 202110589275.3 A vehicle trajectory splicing method based on millimeter wave radar data; CN 202011179544.0 A lane line shape detection method based on millimeter wave radar data), which eliminates the dependence of litter detection on visual sensors. The vehicle trajectory data is used to achieve litter judgment and position estimation in a statistical sense, solving the problem of low detection accuracy and high false positive rate of traditional litter detection.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to achieve its purpose is as follows:

[0006] A trajectory data driven highway litter detection and avoidance warning method, a trajectory data driven highway litter detection and avoidance warning system is constructed, including a traffic data acquisition module, an edge data processing module, a data transmission module, a litter judgment module and a litter information publishing module; comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) The traffic data collection module uses a non-visual high-precision vehicle position sensor to collect real-time expressway vehicle lane-level position trajectory information, transmits the collected traffic data to the edge data processing module for edge processing, and then transmits the processed data to the cloud through the data transmission module;

[0008] (2) The litter judgment module is set in the cloud, the litter judgment module constructs a road grid network, and constructs a vehicle trajectory score distribution map on the road grid network according to the edge processing data in step (1), constructs a trajectory decay function according to the distribution of historical vehicle trajectories on the road grid network, judges the real-time vehicle trajectory distribution according to the trajectory decay function, and obtains the abnormal distribution of the real-time vehicle trajectory, and judges the position of the litter according to the abnormal distribution of the real-time vehicle trajectory;

[0009] (3) The litter information publishing module is used to broadcast the position of the litter to individual vehicles and issue warning information.

[0010] Further, the non-visual high-precision vehicle position sensor in step (1) is a millimeter wave radar or a laser radar.

[0011] Further, the frequency of vehicle position collection and transmission in step (1) should be millisecond level, and the vehicle position positioning accuracy should be decimeter level and above, which can adapt to vehicle position and speed monitoring under all-weather and various weather conditions.

[0012] Further, in step (2), the judgment of the position of the litter includes the following steps:

[0013] 1) The road is gridded with a unit length of 0.1m to obtain a road gridded point array;

[0014] 2) Project the historical vehicle trajectory according to the actual position on the road gridded point array, take the vehicle trajectory point as the center, select the nearest road grid point, and project the vehicle trajectory point to the road grid point;

[0015] 3) Project all vehicle trajectories in a month during the device operation to the road grid points according to the method in 2), and count the hour average projection point number N i of each road grid point corresponding to the morning and evening peak and flat peak in weekdays and weekends in this period;

[0016] 4) Use real-time trajectory data to count the hour average projection point number D i of each hour projected to each road grid point, and calculate the point projection coefficient:

[0017]

[0018] 5) If P i<0.3 then mark the point;

[0019] 6) If P i <0.3 for more than 2 hours, it is considered that the point has a spill or an obstacle.

[0020] Further, the position of the spill is broadcast to the individual vehicles using the RSU in step (3).

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0022] The data used by the expressway spill detection and avoidance warning system constructed by the method of the present application is collected by fixed millimeter wave radar and laser radar detection equipment on the roadside, and real-time radar data is used, which has the characteristics of high detection accuracy and fast detection speed. Through distributed computing, real-time vehicle position information sensing can be realized, and it does not depend on visual sensors.

[0023] The real-time trajectory data of the vehicle obtained by the non-visual sensor breaks the dependence of spill detection on visual sensors, and the vehicle trajectory data is used to realize spill judgment and position estimation from a statistical point of view, solving the problem of low detection accuracy and high false alarm rate of traditional spill detection.

[0035]

[0036] If P i If the value is less than 0.3, then mark the point.

[0037] If P i If the duration of <0.3 exceeds 2 hours, the point is considered to have spilled material or an obstacle.

[0038] The location of spilled material is broadcast to individual vehicles using the RSU.
