[0123] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the scene of the multi-fork traffic area can be represented as a traffic area of ​​a flat intersection, and the flat intersection may include: at least one of: a T-intersection, a Y-intersection, a crossroads, a circular multi-fork intersection, etc., and the passing objects may include: at least one of: vehicles and pedestrians in the multi-fork traffic area, and the object identification information may include: at least one of: vehicle identification information of each vehicle, pedestrian identification information of each pedestrian, etc. The object identification information of the passing objects can be measured, identified and acquired by sensing equipment (for example: monitoring camera equipment, radar equipment, ETC equipment, RSU equipment, GPS positioning equipment).

[0124] In the embodiment of the present invention, determining the passing information of each passing object according to the object identification information may include:

[0125] The vehicle traffic information of each vehicle is determined according to the vehicle identification information.

[0126] And / or, pedestrian passage information of each pedestrian is determined according to the pedestrian identification information.

[0127] The vehicle traffic information may include at least one of the vehicle's traffic direction, traffic speed, and vehicle traffic type. The vehicle traffic type includes at least one of small vehicle traffic type, medium vehicle traffic type, large vehicle traffic type, and non-motor vehicle traffic type. The pedestrian traffic information may include at least one of the pedestrian's traffic direction, traffic speed, and pedestrian traffic type. The pedestrian traffic type may be classified by special attributes of pedestrians (e.g., young children, disabled people, elderly people, pregnant women, etc.) through camera equipment. Further, the small vehicle traffic type may include at least one of motorcycles, small cars, and small trucks. The medium vehicle traffic type may include at least one of medium buses and medium trucks. The large vehicle traffic type may include large buses, large trucks, trailers, and large engineering vehicles. The non-motor vehicle traffic type may include at least one of bicycles, electric bicycles, tricycles, and motorized wheelchairs for the disabled. The vehicle traffic type may also include special vehicles (e.g., at least one of ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks). The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this. In this way, the richer the information about passing objects obtained by using multiple sensor devices, the more conducive it is to improving the efficiency and accuracy of controlling vehicle and pedestrian flows in intersection traffic scenes.

[0128] 102. For each traffic type in each traffic direction, determine the traffic density of the traffic objects of the traffic type in the current time period.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present invention, the traveling direction of the vehicle includes at least one of a straight direction, a left turn direction, a right turn direction, a U-turn direction, and the like.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present invention, for each traffic type in each traffic direction, determining the traffic density of traffic objects of the traffic type in the current time period includes:

[0131] For the vehicles corresponding to each vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction, the number of vehicles corresponding to each vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is obtained.

[0132] The average travel speed of vehicles corresponding to each vehicle travel type is calculated according to the travel speeds of all vehicles corresponding to each vehicle travel type in each travel direction.

[0133] Determine the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to each type of vehicle traffic in each traffic direction in the current time period according to the number of vehicles passing and the average traffic speed of the vehicles. And / or,

[0134] For the pedestrians corresponding to each pedestrian traffic type in each traffic direction, the number of pedestrians corresponding to each pedestrian traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is obtained.

[0135] The average travel speed of pedestrians corresponding to each pedestrian travel type is calculated according to the travel speeds of all pedestrians corresponding to each pedestrian travel type in each travel direction.

[0136] The pedestrian density corresponding to each pedestrian traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is determined according to the number of pedestrians and their average traffic speed.

[0137] Among them, the calculation formula of vehicle traffic density in the current period is expressed as:

[0138]

[0139] The calculation formula of pedestrian density in the current period is expressed as:

[0140]

[0141] For example, if the number of vehicles passing through the current time period is 50, the duration of the current time period is 30 seconds, and the average speed of vehicles is 12.5 m / s, then the traffic density of vehicles in the current time period is 0.13.

[0142] In this way, the traffic density of each traffic type in each traffic direction during the current period can be determined, which can provide a clearer understanding of the vehicle and pedestrian flow at the intersection, thereby helping to improve the efficiency and accuracy of vehicle and pedestrian flow control in intersection traffic scenes.

[0143] 103. For each travel direction, obtain the preceding travel situation of the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the current travel direction, and the following travel situation of the following traffic intersection corresponding to the current travel direction.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present invention, the front traffic intersection may be represented as the previous intersection before the traffic light in the multi-intersection traffic area, and the rear traffic intersection may be represented as the next intersection after the traffic light in the multi-intersection traffic area.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present invention, for each traffic direction, obtaining the preceding traffic situation of the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the current traffic direction and the following traffic situation of the following traffic intersection corresponding to the current traffic direction includes:

[0146] For each vehicle in each direction of travel, obtain the preceding travel time of each vehicle at the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the current travel direction, and the following travel time of each vehicle at the following traffic intersection corresponding to the current travel direction. And / or,

[0147] For each pedestrian in each travel direction, obtain the preceding travel time of each pedestrian at the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction, and the following travel time of each pedestrian at the following traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction.

[0148] In this way, by determining the average travel time of the traffic objects of each traffic type in the current time period according to each traffic type in each traffic direction, the traffic conditions at the intersection can be understood more clearly, which is conducive to improving the efficiency and accuracy of controlling the vehicle and pedestrian flow in the intersection traffic scene.

[0149] 104. Generate a traffic control signal corresponding to the travel direction according to the travel density of the travel objects of the travel type in the current time period, the preceding traffic situation at the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction, and the following traffic situation at the following traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the traffic control signal can be used to control the display of traffic lights or traffic signs, and to guide traffic in the intersection area.

[0151] In the embodiment of the present invention, for each traffic direction, obtaining the preceding traffic situation of the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the current traffic direction and the following traffic situation of the following traffic intersection corresponding to the current traffic direction may include:

[0152] For each vehicle in each direction of travel, obtain the preceding travel time of each vehicle at the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction, and the following travel time of each vehicle at the following traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction. And / or,

[0153] For each pedestrian in each travel direction, obtain the current length of time each pedestrian has been in the front traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction, and the current length of time each pedestrian has been in the rear traffic intersection corresponding to the travel direction.

[0154] In the embodiment of the present invention, generating a traffic control signal corresponding to the passage direction according to the passage density of the passage objects of the passage type in the current time period, the preceding passage situation of the preceding traffic entrance corresponding to the passage direction, and the following passage situation of the following traffic entrance corresponding to the passage direction may include:

[0155] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the small vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset first duration value (for example: the preset duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is 20s, and the preset first duration value can be set to half of the preset duration of the no-entry signal, that is, 10s).

[0156] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the medium-sized vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset second duration value.

[0157] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the large vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-travel signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset third duration value.

[0158] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the non-motor vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset fourth duration value.

[0159] And, when it is determined that the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of travel of the vehicle is in a congested state, the duration of the no-go signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to a preset fifth duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to a preset sixth duration value. (For example, the preset fifth duration value can be set to half of the preset duration of 30s of the no-go signal, i.e., 15s; the preset sixth duration value can be set to twice the preset duration of 15s of the release signal, i.e., 30s).

[0160] When it is determined that the traffic intersection behind the vehicle corresponding to the direction of travel is in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to a preset sixth duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to a preset fifth duration value.

[0161] When it is determined that the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of travel of the pedestrian is in a congested state, the duration of the prohibition signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to the preset seventh duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to the preset eighth duration value. (For example, the preset seventh duration value can be set to half of the preset duration of 20s of the prohibition signal, i.e., 10s; the preset sixth duration value can be set to twice the preset duration of 10s of the release signal, i.e., 20s).

[0162] When it is determined that the following traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of travel of the pedestrian is in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to the preset eighth duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to the preset seventh duration value.

[0163] In this way, the traffic density and traffic conditions in the current direction of travel of vehicles or pedestrians can be used to determine whether the traffic status of vehicles or pedestrians is in a congested state, thereby generating a release signal or a no-entry signal corresponding to the current direction of travel, making the control and dispatching of traffic signals intelligent, avoiding serious traffic congestion problems of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections, and thus helping to reduce the difficulty of controlling traffic signals in intersection traffic scenes.

[0164] In an optional embodiment, after executing step 102, the method further includes the following operations:

[0165] It is determined whether the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the small vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to a preset first density threshold (for example, the first density threshold is 0.6).

[0166] When it is determined that the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the small vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to the first density threshold, it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the small vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state. And / or,

[0167] It is determined whether the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the medium-sized vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to a preset second density threshold.

[0168] When it is determined that the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the medium-sized vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to the preset second density threshold, it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the medium-sized vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state. And / or,

[0169] It is determined whether the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the large vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to a preset third density threshold.

[0170] When it is determined that the traffic density of the vehicles corresponding to the large vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to the preset third density threshold, it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the large vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state. And / or,

[0171] Determine whether the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the non-motor vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to a preset fourth density threshold.

[0172] When it is determined that the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to the non-motor vehicle traffic type in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to the preset fourth density threshold, it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the non-motor vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state.

[0173] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can determine whether the traffic density of vehicles corresponding to each type of vehicle traffic in each traffic direction in the current time period is greater than or equal to the preset density threshold, so as to determine whether the traffic status of vehicles or pedestrians is in a congested state, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency and accuracy of vehicle and pedestrian flow control in intersection traffic scenes.

[0174] In an optional embodiment, after executing step 103, the method further includes the following operations:

[0176] The average time that pedestrians travel in front and the average time that pedestrians travel behind are calculated based on the time that all pedestrians travel in front and the time that pedestrians travel behind.

[0177] In this optional embodiment, it is further optional to determine whether the numerical difference between the average preceding passage time and the average following passage time of all vehicles is greater than or equal to a preset first difference threshold.

[0178] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average duration of the preceding passage and the average duration of the following passage of all vehicles is greater than or equal to the first difference threshold (for example, the first difference threshold is +10s, that is, the average duration of the preceding passage of the vehicle is greater than the average duration of the following passage), it is determined that the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of passage of the vehicle is in a congested state.

[0179] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average duration of the vehicle's preceding passage and the average duration of the vehicle's following passage is not greater than the first difference threshold, determine whether the numerical difference between the average duration of the vehicle's preceding passage and the average duration of the vehicle's following passage is less than or equal to a preset second difference threshold (for example, the second difference threshold is -10s, i.e., the average duration of the vehicle's preceding passage is less than the average duration of the vehicle's following passage).

[0180] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average duration of the preceding traffic and the average duration of the following traffic of the vehicle is less than or equal to the second difference threshold, it is determined that the following traffic intersection corresponding to the traffic direction of the vehicle is in a congested state. And / or,

[0181] Determine whether the numerical difference between the average time of the pedestrian's preceding passage and the average time of the pedestrian's following passage is greater than or equal to a preset third difference threshold (for example, the third difference threshold is +30s, i.e., the average time of the pedestrian's preceding passage is greater than the average time of the pedestrian's following passage).

[0182] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average duration of the pedestrian's preceding passage and the average duration of the pedestrian's following passage is greater than or equal to a third difference threshold, it is determined that the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the pedestrian's passage direction is in a congested state.

[0183] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average time for pedestrians to pass in front and the average time for pedestrians to pass behind is not greater than the third difference threshold, determine whether the numerical difference between the average time for pedestrians to pass in front and the average time for pedestrians to pass behind is less than or equal to the preset fourth difference threshold (for example, the fourth difference threshold is -30s, that is, the average time for pedestrians to pass in front is less than the average time for pedestrians to pass behind).

[0184] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average duration of the pedestrian's preceding passage and the average duration of the pedestrian's following passage is less than or equal to a fourth difference threshold, it is determined that the following traffic intersection corresponding to the pedestrian's passage direction is in a congested state.

[0185] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can determine whether the traffic status of vehicles or pedestrians is in a congested state based on the difference in the numerical value of the average passage time in front and the average passage time in the back of all vehicles or pedestrians, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency and accuracy of vehicle and pedestrian flow control in intersection traffic scenes.

[0245] When it is determined that the numerical difference between the average duration of pedestrian passage in front and the average duration of pedestrian passage behind is not greater than the third difference threshold, it is determined whether the numerical difference between the average duration of pedestrian passage in front and the average duration of pedestrian passage behind is less than or equal to the preset fourth difference threshold.

[0247] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described traffic signal control system applied to intersections can determine whether the traffic status of vehicles or pedestrians is in a congested state based on the difference in the numerical value of the average passage time of all vehicles or pedestrians in front and the average passage time of all vehicles or pedestrians behind, which is conducive to improving the efficiency and accuracy of vehicle and pedestrian flow control in intersection traffic scenes.

[0249] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the small vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset first duration value.

[0250] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the medium-sized vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset second duration value.

[0251] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the large vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-travel signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset third duration value.

[0252] When it is determined that the vehicles corresponding to the non-motor vehicle traffic type in the traffic direction are in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the traffic direction is shortened to a preset fourth duration value.

[0253] Furthermore, when it is determined that the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of travel of the vehicle is in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to a preset fifth duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to a preset sixth duration value.

[0254] When it is determined that the traffic intersection behind the vehicle corresponding to the direction of travel is in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to a preset sixth duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to a preset fifth duration value.

[0255] When it is determined that the preceding traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of travel of the pedestrian is in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the direction of travel will be shortened to the preset seventh duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel will be extended to the preset eighth duration value.

[0256] When it is determined that the following traffic intersection corresponding to the direction of travel of the pedestrian is in a congested state, the duration of the no-entry signal corresponding to the direction of travel is extended to the preset eighth duration value, and the duration of the release signal corresponding to the direction of travel is shortened to the preset seventh duration value.

[0257] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described traffic signal control system applied to intersections can determine whether the traffic status of vehicles or pedestrians is in a congested state based on the traffic density and traffic conditions in the current traffic direction of vehicles or pedestrians, thereby generating a release signal or a no-entry signal corresponding to the current traffic direction, making the control and scheduling of traffic signals intelligent, avoiding serious traffic congestion problems of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections, and thus helping to reduce the difficulty of controlling traffic signals in intersection traffic scenes.
