Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, traffic safety facilities play an increasingly important role in ensuring road safety and smooth operation. These traffic safety facilities include traffic lights, signs, guardrails, pedestrian crossing facilities, etc.

[0003] At present, with the increase of traffic flow, it is particularly important to inspect and maintain traffic safety facilities in a timely and accurate manner. However, there are many challenges in the actual inspection process, especially in the inspection tasks under low signal environments. Most of the existing inspection methods for traffic safety facilities rely on manual inspections or single sensors for data collection, which leads to the fact that the real-time dynamic positioning RTK signal is often blocked in some areas with complex terrain or dense urban high-rise buildings, making the position data unstable and inaccurate. In this case, the existing GNSS positioning system generally cannot provide reliable data support, thus affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the inspection. The existing inspection system often relies on only a single type of sensor for data collection, resulting in a lack of multi-sensor data fusion capability, which limits the system's adaptability under different environmental conditions and makes it difficult to give full play to the advantages of various sensors. The existing manual inspection method is not only time-consuming but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in insufficient reliability and consistency of the inspection results. At the same time, manual inspection is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, and cannot meet the needs of modern urban traffic management.

[0021] In order to better illustrate the use effect of the present invention, a specific implementation example of the invention is introduced below as shown in Table 2. This embodiment compares three types of algorithms: Kalman filter algorithm (KF), particle filter algorithm (PF) and extended Kalman filter algorithm (EKF algorithm). As shown in Table 1, the experimental data set of this embodiment includes test data in three scenarios: road inspection data in a low-signal environment, inspection data in a normal signal environment, and data under the influence of dynamic obstacles. There are 900 data sets in this embodiment, including 400 low-signal data, 300 normal signal data and 200 obstacle interference data. Among them, 600 are used for training and 300 are used for testing. During the training process, the tanh activation function is used, and the mini-batch gradient descent method (Mini-batch Gradient Descent) is used, the batch size is 64, and 1000 epochs are trained.

[0022] Table 1 Algorithm parameter settings parameter Numeric Learning rate (Eta) 0.001 Activation Function tanh Batch size 64 Epochs 1000 Number of data samples (training set) 600 Number of data samples (test set) 300 Training Algorithms Mini-batch Gradient Descent (Mini-batch GD) Kalman filter parameters (Q, R) Q=0.1, R=0.3 Particle filter particle number 500 Table 2 Algorithm experimental results Scene Type algorithm Positioning accuracy (meters) Processing time (seconds) System stability (standard deviation) Low signal environment Kalman Filter (KF) 1.95 0.45 0.12 Particle Filter (PF) 2.10 0.38 0.15 Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) 1.42 0.32 0.08 Normal signal environment Kalman Filter (KF) 1.08 0.36 0.10 Particle Filter (PF) 1.12 0.33 0.12 Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) 0.95 0.28 0.05 Dynamic obstacles interfere with the environment Kalman Filter (KF) 2.30 0.47 0.14 Particle Filter (PF) 2.50 0.42 0.17 Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) 1.85 0.36 0.09 As can be seen from Table 2, in a low-signal environment, the extended Kalman filter algorithm EKF used in the present invention can significantly outperform the Kalman filter algorithm and the particle filter algorithm in terms of positioning accuracy and system stability for the detection and positioning requirements of traffic safety facilities in low-signal scenarios. Specifically, the EKF algorithm improves the positioning accuracy by 12.3%, and reduces the processing time by about 10% compared to other algorithms. At the same time, in terms of system stability, the EKF algorithm exhibits a lower standard deviation, indicating that it is more reliable in a dynamic signal environment. Therefore, this algorithm can accurately identify and correct positioning errors caused by signal loss or interference, so that in a complex and dynamic low-signal environment, it can still maintain high-precision positioning and status assessment of traffic facilities. When the environmental signal changes or interferes, the system can compensate and adjust in real time to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0023] The present invention can effectively convert the collected raw data from the low-signal space to the precise positioning space through real-time signal compensation and dynamic Kalman filtering technology, thereby making the inspection of traffic safety facilities in low-signal environments more efficient and accurate. With the continuous accumulation of traffic facility inspection data, the system can further improve its detection performance by continuously optimizing the Kalman filter parameters to adapt to more types of complex road conditions and environments with different signal strengths. In addition, with the integration of more historical data, the self-learning ability of the algorithm is enhanced, and it can gradually optimize and adapt to more dynamic and complex practical application scenarios.

[0024] In summary, the present invention provides a method and system for public transportation inspection of traffic safety facilities in low-signal scenarios with radar-visual fusion. First, according to the inspection task, a laser radar, a camera, a global navigation satellite module GNSS and an inertial measurement sensor IMU are configured on an urban public service vehicle and corresponding data are collected respectively to obtain collected data. The collected data is then fused using an extended Kalman filter algorithm EKF to obtain fused data. Then, the fused data is corrected for positioning errors using a high-gain real-time dynamic carrier phase differential antenna RTK and a real-time compensation algorithm to obtain corrected data. Then, based on the corrected data, the YOLO algorithm is used to perform target detection and feature extraction on the traffic safety facilities and obtain the category and position coordinates of the traffic safety facilities. Subsequently, the obtained traffic safety position coordinates are precisely located in combination with the position compensation signals in the fused data and the corrected data. Then, the obtained traffic safety facility category is feature analyzed and shape features are extracted for 3D modeling, thereby tracking changes in traffic safety facilities, and then completing the inspection of traffic safety facilities in low-signal scenarios. The present invention realizes the use of urban public service vehicles for inspection in a low-signal environment. The invention has the function of high-precision inspection of traffic safety facilities, and by integrating laser radar, camera, GNSS and IMU sensors, it can use multi-source data fusion technology to improve the positioning accuracy of traffic safety facilities when the RTK signal is weak or no signal, which not only ensures the reliability of the inspection results, but also improves the inspection efficiency.
