[0002] With the deepening development of global economic integration, the importance of the logistics industry as a key link connecting production and consumption has become increasingly prominent. However, the traditional way of supervising in-transit materials often relies on manual tracking, paper records and post-analysis, which has problems such as information lag, many blind spots in supervision and low efficiency. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and 3D visualization technology, new opportunities for change have been brought to logistics supervision.

[0003] As a cross-platform twin development engine, Unity3D has gradually been applied to non-game fields, such as industrial design, education and training, and urban planning, due to its powerful 3D rendering capabilities, flexible scalability, and broad user base. In the field of logistics supervision, U3D technology can be used to build a 3D logistics visualization platform to achieve intuitive display and dynamic monitoring of the material transportation process. However, there are currently few systems or methods on the market that deeply combine U3D technology with specific logistics business to comprehensively optimize the supervision of in-transit materials by intelligent means. Summary of the invention

It also provides an API interface for the mid-end business logic layer to call, and monitors the monitoring data for abnormal conditions in real time for abnormal processing and feedback. The IoT data collection layer includes IoT devices composed of various sensors, RFID tags, and GPS locators installed on transport vehicles, material packaging or transportation routes, which are used to collect monitoring data related to position data, speed data, temperature data, humidity data and vibration data during material transportation in real time, and transmit them to the back-end data processing layer wirelessly.

[0006] An intelligent in-transit materials supervision method based on Unity3D engine includes the following specific steps: Step 1) Initialization: construct and render a 3D logistics scene model with road network, transport vehicles, and material model elements in the Unity3D engine; at the same time, configure the backend data processing layer; Step 2) IoT data collection: Start IoT devices installed on transport vehicles, material packaging or transport routes to collect real-time monitoring data related to location data, speed data, temperature data, humidity data and vibration data during material transportation, and transmit them to the back-end data processing layer wirelessly; Step 3) Data processing and analysis: After receiving IoT data, the back-end data processing layer first cleans and preprocesses the monitoring data to remove noise data and redundant information.

It also provides an API interface for the mid-end business logic layer to call, and monitors abnormal conditions of the monitoring data in real time for abnormal processing and feedback. The IoT data collection layer includes IoT devices consisting of various sensors, RFID tags, and GPS locators installed on transport vehicles, material packaging, or transportation routes. It is used to collect real-time monitoring data related to location data, speed data, temperature data, humidity data, and vibration data during the material transportation process, and transmit it wirelessly to the back-end data processing layer.

[0015] The present invention provides an intelligent in-transit materials supervision method based on Unity3D engine, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are as follows: Step 1) Initialization: Build and render a 3D logistics scene model with road network, transport vehicles, and material model elements in the Unity3D engine; at the same time, configure the back-end data processing layer related to the database server, computing server, and cloud service platform to ensure the stability and reliability of data storage and computing services; Step 2) IoT data collection: Start IoT devices installed on transport vehicles, material packaging or transport routes to collect real-time monitoring data related to location data, speed data, temperature data, humidity data and vibration data during material transportation, and transmit them to the back-end data processing layer wirelessly; Step 3) Data processing and analysis: After the back-end data processing layer receives the IoT data, it first cleans and preprocesses the monitoring data to remove noise data and redundant information. Then, based on the real-time location, status, and environmental information of the materials during transportation collected by the monitoring data, the monitoring data is processed and analyzed according to the preset location tracking algorithm, path planning algorithm, and risk assessment model to generate key data including transportation path planning results, estimated arrival time, and safety risk level.

Supervisors are also notified through SMS, email and other methods. Supervisors can respond quickly based on the alarm information and take corresponding measures to ensure the safety and timeliness of materials. The judgment of abnormal conditions adopts the method of comparing the real-time monitoring data with the set threshold range. If the real-time monitoring data exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that an abnormal condition has occurred.

[0021] The specific steps of the path planning algorithm include: 3-2) For the path planning process, RRT-STAR is used to plan the optimal transportation path for materials based on multi-dimensional factors such as real-time road conditions, traffic rules, transportation costs and material characteristics. In RRT-STAR, each node q has an associated cost c(q), which represents the minimum known path cost from the starting point q_start to the node q. The cost calculation formula is: c(q)=c(parent(q))+distance(parent(q),q)]; Where parent(q) is the parent node of node q, and distance(parent(q),q) is the Euclidean distance from the parent node to node q; The methods for constructing risk assessment models include: 3-3) Establish a risk assessment model based on the real-time collected temperature data, humidity data, vibration data and the characteristics of perishable, flammable, explosive and other materials; the risk assessment model formula is specifically expressed as: Y=beta_0+beta_1X_1+beta_2X_2+beta_3X_3+epsilon; Among them, Y is the risk assessment result, beta_0 is the constant term, X_1 is the mileage, X_2 is the number of deliveries, X_3 is the traffic congestion condition, beta_1, beta_2, beta_3 are the regression coefficients corresponding to the mileage, number of deliveries and traffic congestion condition, respectively, indicating the degree of influence, and epsilon is the random error term.
