Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traffic network assessment technology, and in particular to a method for evaluating urban road congestion that considers macro-micro data coupling. Background Technology
[0002] With socio-economic development and accelerated urbanization, the contradictions arising from the limited urban transportation resources are becoming increasingly prominent, manifested in the imbalance between supply and demand in urban road networks, environmental pollution, and traffic safety issues. To address these complex traffic problems, a series of traffic control and management solutions are needed. Urban traffic conditions reflect the time-varying, multi-scale, multi-variable, and stochastic characteristics of traffic congestion in urban road networks. Quantifying the degree of traffic congestion allows transportation management departments to grasp the spatiotemporal information of congested road sections, serving as the foundation for implementing traffic control and management. Traffic flow in urban road networks is complex and dynamic, making a comprehensive evaluation of the congestion level of each road segment a challenging task. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a scientific method for evaluating the traffic conditions of urban road segments to provide a reference for efficient traffic management decisions.
[0003] Chinese invention patent, publication number CN106781491B, entitled "An Urban Road Traffic Condition Assessment System," discloses an urban road traffic condition assessment system comprising a data acquisition unit, a data processing unit, a data transmission unit, and a traffic condition assessment unit. The data acquisition unit collects traffic parameters at key locations; the data processing unit processes the collected data and transmits it to the traffic condition assessment unit via the data transmission unit; and the traffic condition assessment unit assesses the road traffic condition based on the processed traffic parameter values. This technical solution comprehensively considers vehicle status information and road traffic status information, establishing a comprehensive and efficient road traffic condition assessment system, achieving effective assessment of road traffic conditions. However, this technical solution has strict requirements for road sensor placement and cannot perform assessments on road sections lacking sensor data support.
[0004] Chinese invention patent, publication number CN108777064A, entitled "A Traffic State Assessment System Based on Information Fusion," discloses a traffic state assessment system based on information fusion. This system includes a traffic information detection module, a data transmission module, a data preprocessing module, a feature extraction module, a state assessment module, and a result evaluation module. The traffic information detection module collects traffic information; the data transmission module transmits the traffic information to the data preprocessing module, which filters and removes duplicates from the traffic information; the feature extraction module extracts and normalizes features from the processed traffic information; the state assessment module evaluates the traffic state; and the result evaluation module calculates the accuracy of the traffic state assessment results and issues a warning when the accuracy is low. This technical solution uses evidence theory to fuse traffic monitoring information, overcoming its shortcomings in handling conflicting evidence through improvements to evidence theory. However, the information fusion process in this technical solution is coarse and lacks a single dimension, leading to inaccurate traffic state assessment results.
[0005] Chinese invention patent, publication number CN116030631A, entitled "A Real-Time Traffic Congestion Assessment Method Based on UAV Aerial Video," discloses a method for assessing real-time traffic congestion based on UAV aerial video. This method consists of a traffic flow statistics module and a road time occupancy calculation module. The traffic flow statistics module records the tracked vehicle IDs and detection box coordinates. When the change in the detection box coordinates of a vehicle with the same ID exceeds a threshold, the traffic flow is incremented by 1. The road time occupancy calculation module sets up N dynamically changing virtual coils and records the number of times each virtual coil is occupied by a vehicle in each frame of the image, calculating the road time occupancy rate. Traffic congestion is assessed by combining traffic flow and road time occupancy within a specified time period. This technical solution solves the problems of existing methods requiring significant manpower and resources, equipment aging and damage, and complex implementation. It balances accuracy, real-time performance, and economy, and is of great significance for traffic congestion assessment and traffic scheduling management. However, this technical solution has a limited detection range and uses a single congestion assessment indicator, which can easily lead to a mismatch between the assessment results and the actual situation.

[0060] The advantages and features of the present invention will be illustrated and explained by the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments, which are given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a method for evaluating urban road congestion that considers macro-micro data coupling. This method includes the following steps:
[0062] S1: Obtain GIS geographic information data within the evaluation road network area, and use complex network theory to model the traffic network within the evaluation road network area.
[0063] S1-1. Obtain GIS geographic information data within the evaluation road network area and model the traffic network within the evaluation road network area. Model the traffic network as a graph G(R, E, W), where R = {r1, ..., r...}n} is the set of nodes (i.e., road intersections), where n is the number of nodes, and E = {e ij Let {i,j=1,...,k} be the set of road segments, and e ij To connect node r i and node r j The road segments, k is the number of road segments, W = {w ij {w(t), i, j = 1, ..., k} is a series of time weight matrices, where w ij (t) represents road segment e ij The running status within time interval t.
[0064] S2: Preprocess the vehicle GPS trajectory data within the evaluation road network area, extract the speed information of each road segment, and obtain the traffic status index (traffic congestion level) U(T) of the evaluation road network area within the time interval T.
[0065] S2-1. Obtain vehicle GPS trajectory data within the evaluation road network area, perform preprocessing, and obtain speed information for each road segment.
[0066] GPS trajectory data of vehicles within the evaluation road network area was acquired, and speed information of each road segment was extracted. The acquired GPS data was matched with the road network of the evaluation road network area using a map matching algorithm. Dense GPS data accumulated at locations where stationary vehicles or other vehicles had been parked for extended periods was removed using the DBSCAN clustering method; for road segments where speed data could not be collected during certain time periods, interpolation methods were used to fill in the missing data; for roads without any speed data, the average speed of connecting roads was used as a substitute. This process was repeated at time intervals t until the time interval reached T, obtaining GPS data for all road segments within time interval T, which was then plotted as shown in Figure 3(a). Using a 5-minute time interval t, the current speed v of each road segment was obtained using GPS data. ij (t), plotted as a graph, as shown in Figure 3(b), and the maximum speed limit within the time interval t. The maximum speed limit within the time interval t The 95th percentile of the current speed within time interval t. The current speed v of each road segment within time interval t. ij (t) and the maximum speed limit This provides speed information for each road segment.
[0067] S2-2. Based on the speed information of each road segment, the traffic state index (traffic congestion level) U(T) of the road network area within the time interval T is obtained and determined by formula (1):
[0068] U(T)=g(w ij (t)), t=tm T = t M (1)
[0069]
[0070] In equation (1), based on the spatiotemporal mapping function g(·) and road segment e ij The running state w within time interval t ij (t) yields the traffic state index U(T) within the evaluated road network area over time interval T. Where, time interval t M Greater than the time interval t m The specific time interval t M The interval is 60 minutes, and the time interval is t. m It lasts for 5 minutes.
[0071] In equation (2), w ij (t) represents the current velocity v ij (t) and its maximum speed limit within time interval t The ratio of v to v. ij (t) represents road segment e ij The current speed within time interval t It is the 95th percentile of its historical speed.
[0072] S3: Based on the seepage theory, analyze the congestion diffusion effect of the road network and obtain the seepage threshold q in the evaluation area of the road network. c (T) serves as traffic status information at the macro-level road network.
[0073] S3-1. Based on the current speed v of the road segment within time interval t. ij (t), time interval t M and time interval t m Get the e of each road segment within time period T ij average velocity v ij (T), is determined by formula (3):
[0074]
[0075] S3-2. Based on the time period T, each road segment e ij average velocity v ij (T) and maximum speed limit Obtain the functional state f of each road segment ij (T), is determined by formula (4):
[0076]
[0077] Where q(T) is the threshold for the road segment during time interval T. Based on the considered acceptable speed level, q(T) is used to determine whether the road segment reaches maximum functionality within time interval T. The value of q(T) ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 represents complete road blockage with all vehicles stationary, and 1 represents free-flowing road with all vehicles traveling at maximum speed. The average operating state recorded within time interval T is also considered. Greater than road segment e ij If the operating status recorded by q(T) is used, then the road segment is considered a functionally normal road segment (i.e., f). ij (T) = 1), otherwise, it is a dysfunctional segment (i.e., f). ij (T) = 0).
[0078] S3-3. Select f from step S3-2 ij The penetration threshold q for evaluating the road network area is obtained when the second largest connected cluster in the connected cluster formed by road segments with T = 1 reaches its maximum value. c (T).
[0079] Using seepage theory, record f in step S3-2. ij The segments with q(T) = 1 form connected clusters. After removing dysfunctional segments from the network, each segment will form different biconnected segments within a given time interval T. The value of q(T) when the second largest connected cluster reaches its maximum value is defined as the penetration threshold q of the road network. c (T). This reflects the optimal state that the evaluated road network area can achieve within time period T, where vehicles can travel smoothly at relative speeds on most road sections. q c (T) represents the phase transition point of functional transportation network connectivity, which can effectively measure the maximum operating state and reflect its global efficiency.
[0080] S4: Based on the seepage threshold q c (T), to obtain the operation state threshold (OST)θ(T) for each road segment.
[0081] S4-1. Based on the seepage threshold q c (T) Obtain the penetration threshold q for the evaluated road network area. c Change in (T) Determined by formula (5):
[0082]
[0083] in, To pass through the closed section (segment e) ij The running status is changed to 0) and the updated penetration threshold of the modified evaluation road network area is measured.
[0084] S4-2. Based on the seepage threshold q c (T) and the permeation threshold q c Change in (T) The Operation State Threshold (OST)θ(T) of the evaluated road network area is obtained.
[0085] θ(t) is determined by the e values of each road segment in the evaluation road network area. ij The dynamic threshold θ of the running state ij (T) composition. Constructed θ ij (T) can be expressed by formula (6):
[0086]
[0087] Where λ is the correction factor. Note that if road segment e ij The running status increases from 0 to 1 and exceeds If the value is high, then the road segment tends to improve the efficiency of the road network and achieve better macro-traffic conditions (i.e., alleviate traffic congestion).
[0088] S5: Based on the operating state threshold θ(T), the Systemic Congestion Index (SCI) is obtained to evaluate the congestion status of each road segment within the road network area.
[0089] S5-1. Based on the traffic state index U(T) of the road network within the time interval T obtained in step S2-2, the operational state index P(t) of the road network area is obtained, where P(t) = U(T). Figure 2 As shown.
[0090] S5-2. Based on the operational status index P(t) of each road segment within the evaluation road network area from 0:00 to 6:00 AM, the free flow range of the evaluation road network area is obtained. The minimum value of the free flow range is the lower bound index P(t) of the free flow range. pre ).
[0091] Traffic flow within the free flow range is considered non-congested. When the operational status index P(t) is lower than the lower bound index P(t) of the free flow range... pre When this happens, congestion will occur, such as Figure 2 As shown.
[0092] S5-3. Based on the operating state index P(t) and the operating state threshold θ(T), the drag coefficient R is obtained. e (t). This represents the severity of congestion spreading from a traffic state change on one road segment to adjacent road segments, and it is closely related to the operating state threshold θ(T). R eThe expression for (t) is shown in formula (7):
[0093]
[0094] If P(t) < θ(T), then the portion exceeding the lower bound is represented by R. e (t)=θ(T)-P(t). The critical threshold for congestion diffusion is (C t When P(t) < θ(T), this road segment will cause congestion to spread between adjacent road segments, thus accelerating the spread of congestion, such as... Figure 2 As shown in Figure C. t (t) can be expressed by formula (8):
[0095] C t (t)=P(t pre )-θ(T) (8)
[0096] S5-4. Based on the operating status index P(t) and the lower bound index P(t) of the free flow range. pre ), thus obtaining the congestion level C. m (t) is used to measure the degree of traffic congestion. It is determined by formula (9):
[0097]
[0098] When the road segment operation status index P(t) is at the lower bound of the free flow range, i.e., P(t) pre The decrease in operating state can be viewed as the process of congestion formation, where C > P(t). m (t)=P(t pre )-P(t). If P(t) pre )≤P(t), P(t) is still within the free flow range, where C m (t) = 0, as Figure 2 As shown.
[0099] S5-5. Based on the drag coefficient R e (t) and congestion level C m (t), thus obtaining the Systemic Congestion Index (SCI), which is used for evaluating the traffic conditions of urban road segments. It is expressed by formula (10):
[0100] SCI(t)=C m (t)+R e (t) (10)
[0101] During the changes in the operational status of a road segment, congestion forms and dissipates correspondingly on a macroscopic scale. Therefore, θ(T) is also affected by the macroscopic traffic conditions.
[0102] To further verify the feasibility and superiority of the urban road congestion evaluation method considering macro-micro data coupling described in this invention, a local road network in Kunshan, China, was selected. This area has 209 road segments and 144 intersections. Taxi GPS datasets were recorded every 5 seconds from January 4th to January 6th, 2018. Preprocessing was performed according to steps S1 to S2, resulting in Figures 3(a) and 3(b). Figure 3(a) shows the GPS data distribution of a local road network in Kunshan, China, from January 4th to January 6th, 2018. Figure 3(b) shows the spatial distribution of speeds at 12:00 on January 4th, 2018. The local road network data was then sequentially substituted into steps S3 to S5 to obtain the seepage threshold q for this local road network. c (T), operating status threshold θ(T) for each road segment, and resistance coefficient R e (t) and congestion level C m (t), ultimately yielding the System Congestion Index (SCI). Matching the SCI with the map of this local road network yields, as shown below. Figure 5 The diagram shown is an assessment of the road network congestion status. Figure 5 This is a road network congestion assessment map for three time periods: 6:30 AM, 7:30 AM, and 8:30 AM. It can assess the road congestion situation in this specific area of Kunshan.
[0103] Visualization of road network congestion assessment using the Congestion Index (SCI) proposed in this invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, around 6:30 AM, the SCI (Self-Congestion Index) identified most road sections as relatively smooth. However, during the morning rush hour (7:30 AM), congestion significantly worsened, with a marked increase in road sections within the 0.4-0.6 SCI range, and a further surge in the number of red-marked road sections, indicating severe congestion. One hour later (8:30 AM), congestion gradually eased, and most road sections reached a relatively stable state.
[0104] There are many indicators used to measure urban road traffic conditions. To verify the effectiveness of the System Congestion Index (SCI) proposed in this invention, relative speed (RV) and occupancy rate are introduced to assess the degree of congestion and compared with the trend of the SCI. Occupancy rate can be constructed based on the density and average speed of each road segment. Considering the high detection cost, currently only a few road segments are equipped with microwave detectors that can provide occupancy rate information.
[0105] As shown in Figure 4(a), the main roads selected for analysis include road segments 2, 12, 44, 62, and 76. Among them, road segments 12 and 76 are equipped with microwave detectors.
[0106] Figures 4(b), 4(c), and 4(d) show the congestion levels estimated by the System Congestion Index (SCI), occupancy rate, and relative speed (RV), respectively. The congestion level varies spatially and temporally. As shown in Figure 4(d), there is a relatively high level of congestion during the early morning hours. This is supported by the occupancy rate observed in Figure 4(c), which indicates that traffic demand during the early morning hours is typically lower than during the day. The situation described in Figure 4(d) can be explained by the unreliable and counterintuitive assessments caused by taxi trajectories at low GPS sampling rates during the early morning hours. The System Congestion Index (SCI) and the original occupancy rate assessment provided by this invention do not have such errors. Therefore, the System Congestion Index (SCI) provided by this invention is more accurate than the relative speed (RV) assessment.
[0107] As can be seen from Figures 4(b) and 4(c), higher levels of congestion can be observed during the morning rush hour (6:00 AM to 8:00 AM) and evening rush hour (7:00 PM to 9:00 PM) compared to other time periods. Furthermore, congestion variations are significant across different sections of this main road during the same time of day, while the variations shown in Figure 4(d) are relatively lower. Therefore, the System Congestion Index (SCI) provided by this invention is more accurate than the relative speed (RV) assessment; and compared to the need to install microwave detectors for occupancy assessment, the SCI provided by this invention saves more resources and costs.
[0108] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may have other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope claimed by the present invention.
