[0045]
[0046] S5: Obtain the battery swap task information of each available battery swap position in the battery swap station, and determine one of the available battery swap positions as the target battery swap position for the target vehicle according to the battery swap task information and the transport task information of the target vehicle; the target vehicle drives to the target battery swap position for battery swap according to the rules. The step S5 specifically includes:
[0047] S501: Determine the latest battery swap start time allowed without affecting the execution of its transport mission based on the transport mission information of the target vehicle; specifically, determine the task node position and task node start time to be executed based on the transport mission list in the transport mission information of the target vehicle, and record them as the target task node position and target task node start time respectively; calculate the estimated driving time to reach the target task node position based on the battery swap station location and the preset driving speed of the vehicle; determine the latest battery swap start time allowed without affecting the execution of its transport mission based on the estimated driving time, single battery swap time and target task node start time. In this embodiment of the present invention, assuming that the single battery swap time of the target vehicle is the same, such as 0.1h, if the distance between the battery swap station location and the target task node location is 5km, and the preset driving speed of the vehicle is 25km / h, then the estimated driving time is ; Assuming that the start time of the target task node is 9:00 in the morning, the latest start time for battery replacement should be (0.1h+0.2h)=0.3h before 9:00 in the morning, that is, 8:42 is the latest start time for battery replacement.
[0048] S502: Obtain the battery swap task information of each available battery swap position in the battery swap station, the battery swap task information includes a battery swap task list, the battery swap task list includes the battery swap sequence, the identification of the vehicle being swapped and the vehicle to be swapped, the battery swap status, the remaining battery swap time, and the battery swap waiting time; as shown in Table 2, this is the battery swap task list of the available battery swap position H001. It can be seen from the table that vehicle A1001 is swapping batteries, and the remaining battery swap time is 2 minutes. The vehicles waiting for battery swapping include A1002 and A1003. When vehicle A1001 completes the battery swap, A1002 immediately swaps batteries, and the battery swap waiting time of A1002 is the same as the remaining battery swap time of A1001 which is being swapped; assuming that the single battery swap time is 0.1h (6 minutes), the battery swap waiting time for vehicle A1003 is calculated to be 8 minutes.

Continuing with Table 2 as an example, it can be seen that the battery swapping waiting time of the last vehicle A1003 is 8 minutes, and the single battery swapping time is 6 minutes. Assuming the current time is 8:30, the earliest completion time for the available battery swap position H001 to complete the current battery swap task is 8:44.
[0052] S504: Determine whether there is an available battery swap position with the earliest completion time before the latest battery swap start time. If so, the available battery swap position corresponding to the earliest completion time is the target battery swap position. Assuming that the latest battery swap start time for the target vehicle is 8:42, and the earliest completion time for a certain available battery swap position H001 to complete the current battery swap task is 8:44, then it is determined that the available battery swap position H001 cannot be used as the target battery swap position. If there are available battery swap positions H002 and H003 whose earliest completion times to complete their current battery swap tasks are 8:36 and 8:40 respectively, then the available battery swap position H002 is determined to be the target battery swap position.

If so, record the available battery swap position as a candidate battery swap position; as shown in Table 3, the simulation generated by adding the target vehicle A1234 to the battery swap task list corresponding to the available battery swap position in Table 2 Scheduling list, the duration of a single battery swap is still 6 minutes; it can be seen from the table that the latest battery swap start time for the target vehicle A1234 is 8:42, and the latest battery swap start times for vehicles A1002 and A1003 are 8:35 and 8:50 respectively. Then, by sorting the vehicles to be swapped according to the corresponding latest allowed battery swap start time, the simulated battery swap order in Table 3 can be obtained, and according to the simulated battery swap order and the duration of a single battery swap, the simulated battery swap start times of A1002, A1234 and A1003 are calculated to be 8:32, 8:38 and 8:44 respectively, which are all before the latest battery swap start time of the corresponding vehicle. Then the available battery swap position is recorded as a candidate battery swap position.
[0054] Table 3 Simulation scheduling list
[0055]
[0056] S506: The candidate battery swapping position with the least number of batteries to be swapped that needs to be rescheduled is recorded as the target battery swapping position, and the battery swapping task list of the target battery swapping position is reset and updated according to the order of the simulated scheduling list; Continuing with Table 3 as an example, it can be seen that the available battery swapping position is recorded as H001, and the number of vehicles to be swapped that need to be rescheduled is A1003, and the number of vehicles that need to be scheduled and rearranged is 1, which is recorded as the target battery swapping position, and its battery swapping task list is reset according to the battery swapping order in the simulated scheduling list in Table 3.
