[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The technical solution proposed by the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for recommending travel routes and transportation means provided by the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following execution steps:

[0051] S101, obtaining the starting point position, the end point position and the target time.

[0052] The present invention needs to determine the means of transportation used from the starting location to the end location and the corresponding travel route, and the target time can be the maximum time that the user can accept from the starting location to the end location. For example, assuming the target time is 2 hours, it is necessary to reach the end location from the starting location within 2 hours.

[0053] S102: Based on the starting position and the ending position, determine a target transportation tool that can be used to reach the ending position from the starting position.

[0054] In the present invention, the target transportation tool used to reach the destination from the starting position can be one transportation tool or multiple transportation tools. The present invention does not limit the number of transportation tools included in the target transportation tool. For example, the destination can be reached from the starting position by a high-speed rail, that is, the target transportation tool is a high-speed rail; or the starting position can be reached from the middle position by a high-speed rail, and then the destination can be reached from the middle position by an airplane, that is, the target transportation tool is {high-speed rail, airplane}.

[0055] As a possible implementation, S102 determines a target transportation tool that can be used to reach the destination location from the start location based on the start location and the destination location, including:

[0056] S1021. Based on the starting point location, determine a set of starting means of transportation that can depart from the starting point location.

[0057] S1022. Based on the destination location, determine a set of destination transportation tools that can reach the destination location.

[0058] S1023: Determine a target means of transport from the set of starting means of transport and the set of destination means of transport.

[0059] As a possible implementation, S1023 determines the target vehicle from the starting vehicle set and the ending vehicle set, including: determining the intersection of the starting vehicle set and the ending vehicle set, and determining the vehicle in the intersection as the target vehicle.

[0060] The present invention can determine a vehicle that can both depart from a starting position and reach a terminal position as a target vehicle.

[0061] For example, assuming that the starting location is A and the end location is B, there are airplanes operating in A, but there are no airplanes operating in B, and it is impossible to get from A to B by airplane. Therefore, airplanes are not within the user's travel considerations, that is, airplanes are not used as target means of transportation; assuming that there are high-speed railways in both A and B, it is considered that it is possible to get from A to B by high-speed railway, that is, the high-speed railway is determined as the target means of transportation.

[0062] As a possible implementation method, S102 determines a target means of transportation that can be used to reach the destination from the starting location based on the starting location and the destination location, including: determining a starting city where the starting location is located, and a destination city where the destination location is located; determining a first means of transportation to reach the destination city from the starting city based on the starting city and the destination city; determining a first travel route from the starting city to the destination city based on the first means of transportation, and determining the end point of the first travel route as the first arrival location; if the first arrival location is different from the destination location, determining a second means of transportation to reach the destination from the first arrival location based on the first arrival location and the destination location.

[0063] In the present invention, if the first arrival location is different from the destination location, or the distance between the two is far, after reaching the first arrival location by one of the first transportation tools, the first related transportation tool reaches the destination city, but does not reach the destination location specified by the user, at this time, the second transportation tool can be selected to go from the first arrival location to the destination location. Combining the first transportation tool and the second transportation tool, multiple travel routes can be generated for the user to choose.

[0064] It can be understood that the target means of transportation here include two means of transportation, namely a first means of transportation and a second means of transportation, and the target travel route includes two travel routes, namely a first travel route and a second travel route.

[0065] As a possible implementation manner, after determining the second means of transportation to reach the destination from the first arrival location, the method also includes: determining a second travel route from the first arrival location to the destination based on the second means of transportation; determining a first estimated time corresponding to the first travel route based on the length of the first travel route and the first speed of the first means of transportation; determining a second estimated time corresponding to the second travel route based on the length of the second travel route and the second speed of the second means of transportation; calculating the sum of the first estimated time and the second estimated time, and determining the sum as the total estimated time; determining whether the first means of transportation, the second means of transportation, the first travel route and the second travel route are recommended means of transportation and recommended travel routes based on the difference between the total estimated time and the target time.

[0066] In the present invention, when the first means of transportation is used to reach the first arrival position from the starting position, and the second means of transportation is used to reach the end position from the first arrival position, two routes, the first travel route and the second travel route, are passed. At this time, the total estimated time from the starting position to the end position includes the first estimated time corresponding to the first travel route and the second estimated time corresponding to the second travel route. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the first means of transportation and the second means of transportation can reach the end position from the starting position within the target time based on the difference between the total estimated time and the target time.

[0067] S103: Based on the target transportation tool, determine a target travel route corresponding to the target transportation tool.

[0068] In the present invention, different target transportation tools correspond to different target travel routes. For example, one can reach the destination location from the starting location by airplane or high-speed rail. That is, the target transportation tool is an airplane or a high-speed rail. At this time, it is necessary to separately determine the target travel route corresponding to the airplane and the target travel route corresponding to the high-speed rail.

[0069] S104: Determine an estimated time corresponding to the target travel route based on the length of the target travel route and the target speed of the target vehicle.

[0070] In the present invention, different target vehicles have different target speeds, different target travel routes have different lengths, and different target vehicles and corresponding target travel routes have different estimated times required to reach the destination from the starting point. For example, the ratio of the length of the target travel route to the target speed of the target vehicle can be determined as the estimated time.

[0071] As a possible implementation, the weather on the travel route may affect the travel speed of the vehicle. S104 determines the estimated time corresponding to the target travel route based on the length of the target travel route and the target speed of the target vehicle, including:

[0072] S1041. Determine target weather information corresponding to the target travel route.

[0073] For ease of implementation, the present invention can determine the target weather information corresponding to the target travel route through the weather information at the starting point and the weather information at the end point.

[0074] S1042: Determine a target speed of the target vehicle based on the target weather information.

[0075] S1043: Calculate the ratio between the length of the target travel route and the target speed of the target vehicle, and determine the ratio as the estimated time corresponding to the target travel route.

[0076] As a possible implementation method, S1042, based on the target weather information, determines the target speed of the target vehicle, including: obtaining the maximum speed of the target vehicle; based on the target weather information, determining the safety speed weight corresponding to the target weather information; calculating the product of the maximum speed and the safety speed weight, and determining the product as the target speed of the target vehicle.

[0077] In this way, the estimated time corresponding to the target travel route is .

[0078] in, is the length of the target travel route; is the maximum speed of the target vehicle; is the safe speed weight of the target vehicle under different weather conditions, .

[0079] It is understandable that the more suitable the weather is for the target vehicle to travel, the higher the safety speed weight of the target vehicle. The bigger.

[0080] S105: Calculate the difference between the target time and the estimated time, and determine the difference as the time offset.

[0081] For example, the target travel route includes two routes: a first travel route and a second travel route. The first estimated time corresponding to the first travel route is , the second estimated time corresponding to the second travel route is , time offset ,in, Time for the target.

[0082] S106: If the time offset is greater than or equal to a first threshold, determine the target transportation tool and the target travel route as the recommended transportation tool and the recommended travel route.

[0083] The present invention can determine whether the target transportation tool and the target travel route can reach the destination location within the target time based on the time offset between the estimated time and the target time of the target travel route. If so, the target transportation tool and the corresponding target travel route are determined as the recommended transportation tool and the recommended travel route. For example, the first threshold value can be 0, that is, if the estimated time of the target travel route is less than or equal to the target time, the corresponding target transportation tool and the target travel route can be determined as the recommended transportation tool and the recommended travel route.

[0084] As a possible implementation method, S106 determines the target transportation and the target travel route as the recommended transportation and the recommended travel route if the time offset is greater than or equal to the first threshold, including: if the time offset is greater than or equal to the second threshold, determines the target transportation and the target travel route as the recommended transportation and the recommended travel route, and the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0085] In the process of reaching the destination from the starting point by the target transportation, there may be unexpected factors such as the user arriving at the waiting location of the target transportation and needing to wait for the transportation to start traveling. Considering the above unexpected factors that may cause time delays, the present invention also introduces a time offset between the target time and the estimated time. When the time offset is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the corresponding target transportation and target travel route are determined as the recommended transportation and recommended travel route.

[0086] In this way, the recommended means of transportation and recommended travel routes of the present invention can tolerate unexpected factors within the time offset. Even if the above-mentioned unexpected factors that may cause time delays occur in the process of reaching the destination location from the starting location by the target means of transportation, it is still possible to reach the destination location from the starting location by the target means of transportation and the target travel route within the target time, thereby improving the fault tolerance of the recommended travel routes and recommended means of transportation.

[0087] The threshold corresponding to the time offset can be determined based on the user's requirements for fault tolerance. The second threshold is greater than the first threshold, and the recommended means of transportation and recommended travel routes determined based on the second threshold are more tolerant to unexpected factors that may cause time delays.

[0088] The present invention also provides a system for recommending travel routes and transportation tools, the system comprising:

[0089] The acquisition module is used to obtain the starting point position, the end point position and the target time.

[0090] The analysis and processing module is used to determine the target transportation tool that can be used to reach the destination from the starting location based on the starting location and the destination location; determine the target travel route corresponding to the target transportation tool based on the target transportation tool; and determine the estimated time corresponding to the target travel route based on the length of the target travel route and the target speed of the target transportation tool.

[0091] The transportation tool and travel route determination module is used to calculate the difference between the target time and the estimated time, and determine the difference as the time offset; if the time offset is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the target transportation tool and the target travel route are determined as the recommended transportation tool and the recommended travel route.

[0092] As a possible implementation method, the analysis and processing module is also used to determine the target weather information corresponding to the target travel route; based on the target weather information, determine the target speed of the target vehicle; calculate the ratio between the length of the target travel route and the target speed of the target vehicle, and determine the ratio as the estimated time corresponding to the target travel route.
