BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1 It is a system structure diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent construction site traffic coordination system based on V2X according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle-mounted unit, a roadside unit (RSU) and a central management unit. The vehicle-mounted unit integrates a V2X communication module, GPS, IMU, a CAN bus interface, a microprocessor and a power management module, and is responsible for collecting vehicle status information and communicating with the central management unit through the roadside unit; the roadside unit is deployed at a key position on the construction site, equipped with a V2X communication module, a processor, a power management and an antenna, and serves as an intermediate communication bridge between the vehicle and the central management unit; the central management unit collects, processes and analyzes vehicle data through a server, a database, a data processing module, a communication module and a user interface, and uses an intelligent algorithm to optimize the vehicle driving path and operation process, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of construction site traffic.

[0021] The on-board unit, roadside unit and central management unit of this system perform real-time data transmission and communication through the v2x protocol, forming a closed-loop intelligent construction site traffic coordination system.

[0022] The on-board unit is installed on each engineering vehicle to collect vehicle status information such as the vehicle's location, speed, operating status, and communicate with the central management unit; the equipment includes a V2X communication module, a GPS module, an IMU (inertial measurement unit), a CAN bus interface, a microprocessor, and a power management module. The V2X communication module supports the DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) or C-V2X (cellular vehicle-to-everything) standards to ensure efficient communication between vehicles and with infrastructure. The GPS module updates the vehicle's location information once a second, the IMU updates the vehicle's speed, acceleration, and direction information multiple times a second, the CAN bus interface reads the vehicle's internal status information in real time, the microprocessor processes sensor data and controls the communication module, and the power management module ensures stable power supply for the equipment under various working conditions.

[0023] Roadside units (RSUs) are installed at key locations on the site, such as entrances, exits, intersections, etc., to communicate with vehicles. The equipment includes a V2X communication module, a processor, a power management module, and an antenna. The V2X communication module supports DSRC or C-V2X standards, receives and forwards data sent by the vehicle-mounted unit, and communicates with the central management unit. The processor processes the received data and controls the communication module, the power management module ensures stable power supply for the equipment under various working conditions, and the antenna enhances the coverage of the communication signal to ensure reliable data transmission.

[0024] The central management unit is responsible for collecting and processing data from each on-board unit and roadside unit, optimizing the vehicle's driving path and operating sequence through intelligent algorithms, and sending instructions to the vehicle. The system includes a server, a database, a data processing module, a communication module, and a user interface. The server is used for data processing and storage, and can use a cloud server or a local server. The database stores the real-time and historical data of the vehicle. Common databases include MongoDB, MySQL, etc. The data processing module uses big data processing technology and machine learning algorithms for data processing and analysis. The communication module supports communication protocols such as 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, LoRa, etc., and communicates data with the on-board unit and the roadside unit. The user interface provides a web interface for managers to perform real-time monitoring and scheduling operations.

[0025] The system uses V2X technology to achieve real-time, efficient and secure data communication, and realizes seamless connection between vehicles and roadside units and central management units. The vehicle-mounted unit transmits information such as location, speed, and operation status to the roadside unit (RSU) in real time, and then the RSU forwards it to the central management unit for data processing and intelligent scheduling. The central management unit uses this data to optimize the path, assign tasks, and generate scheduling instructions, which are sent to the vehicle-mounted unit through the RSU. At the same time, V2X technology also supports real-time monitoring and manual adjustment to ensure that the efficiency and safety of construction site transportation are significantly improved.

[0026] In terms of data collection and transmission: the on-board unit transmits the collected vehicle location, speed, operating status and other data to the nearest roadside unit (RSU) in real time through the V2X communication module, and then forwarded by the RSU to the central management unit. The data format uses JSON or binary format to ensure efficient transmission and parsing. Specifically, the GPS module updates the vehicle's location information once a second, the IMU updates the vehicle's speed, acceleration and direction information multiple times a second, and the CAN bus interface reads the vehicle's internal status information in real time, transmits it to the RSU through the V2X communication module, and then forwarded by the RSU to the central management unit. The messages sent from the vehicle to the RSU and from the RSU to the system are roughly the same. The forwarded content will include all the status of the vehicle. The detailed v2x message data is shown in Table 1.

[0029] In terms of data processing and analysis: the central management unit cleans and stores the received data, and uses big data processing technology and machine learning algorithms for real-time processing and analysis. Data cleaning includes denoising and anomaly detection. Filtering algorithms (such as Kalman filtering) are used to remove noise from sensor data, and outliers are detected and eliminated through statistical methods. Data storage is divided into real-time data and historical data. Real-time data is stored in the memory database for real-time processing, and historical data is stored in the relational database or NoSΩL database for subsequent analysis. Real-time data will contain the location and status information of the work vehicle. The system uses stream processing technology and event-driven mechanism for real-time processing, and triggers the corresponding processing logic according to preset rules.

[0030] In terms of intelligent scheduling algorithms: The central management unit optimizes the vehicle's driving path through graph theory algorithms to reduce congestion and waiting time. Specifically, the A algorithm and Dijkstra algorithm are used to calculate the shortest path, dynamically adjust the path to plan the traffic conditions of the construction site vehicles, and ensure the shortest time and minimum energy consumption. At the same time, priority queues and dynamic programming algorithms are used to optimize the operation sequence of vehicles, and tasks are assigned according to the vehicle's operating status and priority to ensure efficient operation. Priority queues are used to manage the priority of tasks, and dynamic programming algorithms are used to optimize the operation sequence to ensure the rational use of resources. The following will give an example of how to dynamically plan a vehicle path as a reference.

[0031] Suppose we have three vehicles (V1, V2, V3) and three tasks:

[0032] T1: Location (10,10), content "moving materials", priority 1, time requirement "execute immediately"; T2: Location (20,20), content "pouring concrete", priority 2, time requirement "execute after 30 minutes"; T3: Location (30,30), content "installing equipment", priority 3, time requirement "execute after 60 minutes").

[0033] First, collect the initial positions of the vehicles (V1: (0,0), V2: (5,5), V3: (15,15)) and the construction site map data. Next, build a graph model with nodes (0,0), (5,5), (10,10), (15,15), (20,20), (30,30). Edges represent the roads connecting these nodes and are assigned corresponding weights (such as distance, time, energy consumption, etc.). Use the A* algorithm to calculate the shortest path from the initial position of each vehicle to the task point. For example, the path from V1 (0,0) to T1 (10,10) is (0,0)->(5,5)->(10,10), and the total distance is 14.14 units. Then, use a priority queue to manage tasks [T1, T2, T3], and optimize the task order of each vehicle through a dynamic programming algorithm. Finally, the driving path and task sequence of each vehicle are generated based on the calculation results. For example, the path and task sequence of V1 are: path (0,0)->(10,10)->(20,20)->(30,30), and the task sequence is T1->T2->T3. Thus, we will obtain the optimized path, task, operation content, priority, time requirement and other information of the vehicle, encapsulate it into the v2x message, send it to the RSU through the system, and then forward it to the vehicle for execution through the RSU to realize intelligent scheduling.

[0034] When generating and issuing instructions, the central management unit generates driving paths and work instructions based on the optimization results, and sends them to the corresponding on-board units through the roadside unit (RSU). Specifically, the generated instructions include the optimized driving path, including the starting point, end point and waypoints, as well as the work task list, including the work content, priority and time requirements. The instructions are sent to the on-board unit through the RSU. After receiving the instructions, the on-board unit returns confirmation information to ensure the correct execution of the instructions. The confirmation mechanism ensures the reliable transmission and execution of instructions and improves the robustness of the system. The RSU can send the corresponding vehicle's v2x message containing the optimized path to this vehicle through the vehicle's unique identification ID. The message contains key scheduling information such as the optimized path, task, priority, etc. The detailed v2x message is shown in Table 2.

[0037] In another preferred embodiment, the intelligent scheduling platform provides a visual interface to display the real-time position, speed, operating status of each vehicle and the traffic flow and congestion of the construction site. Specifically, managers can monitor the status of vehicles in real time through the platform, including information such as position, speed, operating status, and traffic flow and congestion of the construction site. The platform provides a manual adjustment function, and managers can manually adjust the vehicle path and operation sequence, or send emergency instructions in emergencies, such as immediately stopping operations and avoiding other vehicles. Real-time monitoring and scheduling functions improve management efficiency and safety.
