BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0034] Figure 1 The present application is a method step schematic diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] The actual weather, the number of vehicles, the average speed of vehicles, and the time period when congestion occurs of the expressway section are fused, the congestion of the expressway is scored, and corresponding measures are taken according to the score to help the traffic control department to better adjust the traffic flow of the expressway, and avoid relying on the traditional video monitoring method to monitor the state of the expressway, and therefore a highway traffic situation awareness analysis method based on cloud computing technology is proposed, please refer to Figure 1 , which comprises the following steps:

[0037] S1, divide the expressway surface into a plurality of areas, and form continuous unique digital numbers for these areas one by one, the digital numbers can be divided according to the name of the expressway section, the kilometer number of the section division, the direction of travel and other data, so that the divided areas all have displacement digital numbers, which can be used to quickly determine the congested section and select the adjacent section to the congested section to intervene the traffic of the expressway.

[0038] S2, obtain the road surface data of each area, the road surface data includes the number of vehicles in the area and the vehicle speed data, obtains the number of vehicles entering each area, and obtains the number of vehicles staying in the service area in each area. The number of vehicles in the area is represented as , and the vehicle speed data is represented as Furthermore, the total number of vehicle speed data obtained is the same as the number of vehicles obtained. The number of vehicles entering the entrance is represented as follows: The number of vehicles parked in the service area is represented as By acquiring data on the number of vehicles within a region, vehicle entry data at each region's entrance, vehicle speed, and vehicles staying in service areas within each region, the potential load status of highways within the region can be grasped in a timely manner. This data can then be used for analysis to determine whether highway congestion is occurring.

[0039] S3. Calculate the vehicle growth rate and average vehicle speed in each area, and determine whether the corresponding area is congested based on the vehicle growth rate and average vehicle speed. Wherein:

[0040] The formulas for calculating the growth rate of vehicle numbers in each region are as follows:

[0041]

[0042] In the formula, , as well as Subscript This represents a unique numerical identifier corresponding to each region. This indicates the growth rate of the number of vehicles in the region. This indicates the vehicle quantity data for the area obtained this time, compared to the vehicle quantity data for the area obtained previously. This represents the difference between the current vehicle count data and the previous vehicle count data for the same area. Dividing this difference by the previous vehicle count data yields the vehicle growth rate for that area. When the value is negative, it indicates that the number of vehicles in the area is decreasing. When the value is positive, it indicates that the number of vehicles in the area is on the rise. A value of 0 indicates that the number of vehicles in the area has not changed. For example, if the area is A, the growth rate of the number of vehicles in the area is: .

[0043] The formula for calculating the average vehicle speed in each region is as follows:

[0044]

[0045] In the formula, subscript Indicates the unique numerical code corresponding to each region, superscript ~ This represents the vehicle speed data for each car within that area, with the denominator containing... Data representing the number of vehicles in the area The value is , and when the region is A, the vehicle constant speed result in the region is ;

[0046] By calculating the vehicle speed increase of each region, the increase of vehicle flow of each road section in the time interval can be objectively fed back, and by calculating the vehicle constant speed of each region, the speed of vehicle driving in each region can be objectively fed back. When the speed is faster, it indicates that the road surface of the region is more unblocked, and when the speed is slower, it indicates that the road surface of the region is more congested. Therefore, whether the road surface of the corresponding region is congested can be determined according to the combination of the two values, and the determination method is as follows:

[0047] 1. The calculated vehicle quantity speed increase of each region is compared with the preset vehicle quantity speed increase threshold value. When the vehicle quantity speed increase of a region or the vehicle quantity speed increase of multiple regions exceeds the preset vehicle quantity speed increase threshold value, congestion signal one is generated.

[0048] 2. The calculated vehicle constant speed of each region is compared with the limited minimum driving speed of the expressway. When the vehicle constant speed of a region or the vehicle constant speed of multiple regions is lower than the limited minimum driving speed of the expressway, congestion signal two is generated.

[0049] 3. When congestion signal one and congestion signal two are generated at the same time, it is determined that the corresponding region is in a congested state.

[0050] When only congestion signal one appears, it indicates that there are more vehicles entering the road section, but it does not affect the normal passing of vehicles according to the speed limit of the expressway. When only congestion signal two appears, it indicates that the number of vehicles in the region has not increased, but some vehicles are driving slowly due to their own reasons, resulting in a decrease in the vehicle constant speed of the region, but it does not affect the normal passing of vehicles in the region. When both signals appear at the same time, it indicates that the number of vehicles in the region has increased and affected the speed of vehicle passing in the region. This situation can be understood as a congested state in the region, which has affected the normal passing of vehicles in the region.

[0051] S4. When it is determined that the corresponding region is a congested road section, the weather data and time period data of the region are obtained, and the weather data, the number of vehicles entering the corresponding region, the number of vehicles staying in the service area of the corresponding region, and the time period data are used to calculate the congestion score. The weather data is sunny, overcast, or rainy, snowy, and foggy, wherein sunny indicates , overcast indicates , and rainy, snowy, and foggy indicate . The number of vehicles entering the corresponding region is represented as , and the subscript is the digital number of the corresponding region. The number of vehicles staying in the service area of the corresponding region is represented as , and the subscript denotes a digital number corresponding to a region, the time period data includes morning or noon or night, wherein the morning is denoted as , the noon is denoted as , and the night is denoted as , and the congestion score calculation expression is:

[0052]

[0053] In the formula, denotes sunny weather or cloudy weather or rainy, snowy, or foggy weather , denotes that the time period data is morning or noon or night , , , and are weight one, weight two, weight three, and weight four, respectively, and + + + = 1, , , and are constant terms, denotes the congestion score, and it should be noted that:

[0054] when the weather data is sunny, the weather data is denoted as , with a value of 0.2, when the weather data is cloudy, the weather data is denoted as , with a value of 0.2, when the weather data is rainy, snowy, or foggy, the weather data is denoted as , with a value of 0.8, when the time period data is morning, the time period data is denoted as , with a value of 0.1, when the time period data is noon, the time period data is denoted as , with a value of 0.3, when the time period data is night, the time data is denoted as , The value is 0.8, and different weather and time periods are valued, so as to express the influence of different weather and different time periods on congestion. Generally, rain, snow and fog have a greater influence on highway traffic, and when congestion occurs, the influence is greater. In the morning and at noon, the visibility is good, and the driver can observe the road conditions in front and respond in time. However, at noon, the driver is prone to drowsiness due to the influence of time. Therefore, the value at noon is greater than the value in the morning. At night, the driver's visibility is poor and he is prone to drowsiness. Therefore, when the highway is congested, the congestion degree at night is greater, which includes the driver falling asleep due to drowsiness and causing rear-end collision on the congested road section, and the driver falling asleep for a short time when queuing for a long time, thereby increasing the duration of congestion. The number of vehicles parked at the service area and the number of vehicles entering at the entrance are also combined to score the potential congestion of the road section, so as to analyze the potential state of the highway pavement congestion in the region.

[0055] S5, after calculating the congestion score, the congestion score is compared with the congestion score threshold. When the congestion score exceeds the congestion score threshold, it indicates that the highway pavement in the region is severely congested, and the highway entrance needs to be closed to prohibit vehicles from entering to alleviate the congestion. When the congestion score is lower than the congestion score threshold, it indicates that the highway pavement in the region is congested, but can be passed, and the number of vehicles entering at the highway entrance needs to be controlled to alleviate the congestion.

[0056] It should be noted that the above-mentioned obtained data are all sent to the cloud computing platform for summary and analysis, and the cloud computing platform is also interconnected with the monitoring department of the traffic management center. When the congestion score calculated by the cloud computing platform exceeds the congestion score threshold set by the traffic management department, a signal for prohibiting the highway entrance from passing is generated. When the congestion score is lower than the congestion score threshold, a signal for limiting the highway entrance from passing is generated, and the generated signal for prohibiting passing or limiting passing is sent to the traffic management department. The traffic management department can formulate corresponding countermeasures for the congested road section in time according to the received signal, and control the entrance of the corresponding region of the highway section to alleviate the number of vehicles on the congested road section, so as to avoid the increase of the congested area when the congestion cannot be normally driven. At the same time, it is helpful for the traffic management department to dredge the congested road section, and reduces the difficulty of dredging traffic for the traffic management department.

[0057] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
