Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic driving system and method integrating vehicle-road collaboration and social network. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems, autonomous driving technology has become an important direction for future transportation. Autonomous driving can not only improve the autonomy and operating efficiency of vehicles, but also significantly reduce the rate of traffic accidents. However, a major challenge facing current autonomous driving technology is how to achieve efficient and safe driving in complex road environments. Relying solely on the vehicle's own sensors and algorithms is difficult to cope with changing road conditions and rapidly changing traffic dynamics. Therefore, solutions based on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) have gradually become the focus.

[0003] Vehicle-road collaboration technology can effectively expand the vehicle's perception range and improve the decision-making ability of the autonomous driving system through information exchange between vehicles and road infrastructure. Specifically, vehicle-road collaboration can realize real-time sharing of traffic signals, road conditions, and other vehicle status, helping autonomous vehicles make more accurate decisions in complex environments. Compared with single-vehicle intelligence, vehicle-road collaboration can further optimize traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion, and improve the safety and reliability of the overall transportation system.

[0004] At the same time, with the popularization of social networks, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology has brought new opportunities for autonomous driving. The information exchange between vehicles is not limited to traffic and road conditions. Social networks can also be used to build a collaborative model of "vehicle groups". Through social networks, vehicles can share more dimensional information, such as driving behavior patterns, emergency response, etc., to achieve a higher level of collaborative driving.

[0005] At present, autonomous driving technology has made significant progress, but in complex road environments, the decision-making ability of vehicles is still limited, especially in terms of perception range and handling of emergencies. Single-vehicle intelligent systems mainly rely on on-board sensors, which are difficult to cope with the challenges brought by occlusion or dynamic traffic flow. To this end, vehicle-road collaborative technology expands the vehicle's environmental perception range and improves decision-making efficiency and safety through real-time information interaction between vehicles and road infrastructure. However, data processing and optimization of vehicle-road collaborative technology in practical applications still need to be broken through. At the same time, the development of social networks has provided a new way of information sharing for the Internet of Vehicles. By integrating social networks, vehicles can share more information such as driving behaviors and traffic events, further improving the effect of collaborative driving.

Comprehensive evaluation index Optimize and provide an optimization solution for the upper model; the expression of the objective function is as follows: ; ; In the formula, is the rolling window ordinal m, is the rolling window ordinal number n, is the sight distance after the intersection decision, is the weight, is the average number of parking times, is an ordinal number; In addition to meeting the minimum green light time and maximum green light time requirements for signal adjustment, the constraints should also control the compressed green light duration of the uncoordinated phase within an acceptable range. The specific constraints are: ; In the formula, Extend the green light time at decision intersections, For acceptable time, Extend the green light time for the actual intersection, For acceptable time, is the actual time when the green light at the intersection turns on. Extended time for decision-making green light, The green light for decision-making comes on early. The minimum time for the green light to be extended or turned on early. The maximum time that the green light can be extended or turned on early.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, an autonomous driving method integrating vehicle-road collaboration and social network includes: Step S1, collecting environmental information data around the vehicle, including the vehicle's own sensor data and external data.

[0041] In the embodiment, the vehicle's own sensors include but are not limited to lidar, cameras, ultrasonic radar and GPS; external data sources include but are not limited to dynamic traffic data and unstructured user-generated data, which are obtained through social networking platforms.

[0042] Step S2, using a deep learning model to comprehensively analyze and make decisions on the collected environmental information data, accurately predict the current road conditions, and generate a speed control plan.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, step S2 includes: Step S21, the relationship between dynamic traffic data and unstructured user-generated data is modeled as a graph structure through a graph neural network, and message passing is performed on the graph to achieve dynamic fusion of multi-dimensional data.

[0044] Step S22, extracting the features of the vehicle's own sensor data through a convolutional neural network, and processing the time series data through a long short-term memory network.

[0045] Step S23, based on the universal numerical solution algorithm for the maximum bidirectional green wave bandwidth, a maximum green wave bandwidth optimization model is established to obtain a vehicle speed guidance model, thereby generating a vehicle acceleration and deceleration decision.

[0046] Step S24, adjusting the traffic signal timing according to the signal control, and adjusting the vehicle speed by the vehicle speed guidance model, thereby generating a speed control plan.

[0047] Step S3, controlling the actual movement of the vehicle according to the designated decision output instruction, wherein the actual movement of the vehicle is controlled including but not limited to acceleration and deceleration.

[0048] The lower-level planning model considers the delay of vehicles in non-coordinated phases, for example Figure 5 As shown, when the straight-ahead phase is green when the vehicle enters the speed guidance area, it is determined whether the straight-ahead phase is green when the vehicle arrives at the intersection. If it is green, the original plan remains unchanged; when the straight-ahead phase is red when the vehicle enters the speed guidance area, it is determined whether the straight-ahead phase is red when the vehicle arrives at the intersection. If it is not red, the original plan remains unchanged.

[0049] The phase compression method proposed in this invention has a certain impact on the delay of vehicles in non-coordinated phases, but the increased delay level is relatively small and does not have a large fluctuation impact on vehicles in non-coordinated phases. At the same time, the reduction in the overall delay level of the trunk line shows that the overall benefits of this method are better than the adverse effects, and the overall traffic efficiency of the trunk line traffic flow is improved.
