Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traffic management, and in particular relates to a method and system for improving the traffic efficiency of emergency vehicles. Background Art

[0002] When performing emergency tasks, emergency vehicles need to arrive at the scene as quickly as possible to carry out rescue and treatment. Time is of the utmost importance in treating patients. Ensuring the efficient passage of emergency vehicles is to protect public safety and the lives and health of the people.

[0003] Existing methods for improving the traffic efficiency of emergency vehicles include Chinese patent applications CN116844355A and CN114283594A, wherein:

[0004] CN116844355A discloses a traffic control method for improving the efficiency of emergency vehicle traffic. This method installs visible light communication devices on all vehicles and intersection signals, uses the devices as a medium to notify other vehicles to avoid emergency vehicles, and adjusts intersection signals through the devices, thereby improving the efficiency of emergency vehicle traffic. However, this method has the following disadvantages: 1. It is too expensive. This solution requires all vehicles on the road and intersections to install communication devices, which is costly and difficult to implement. 2. This solution can only improve traffic efficiency within a certain distance of the emergency vehicle, lacks methods to improve traffic efficiency on the route ahead, and lacks overall route planning and dynamic adjustment.

[0005] CN114283594A discloses a dynamically adjusted special vehicle route optimization method. This method facilitates the passage of emergency vehicles by dynamically adjusting traffic lights along their routes. However, its drawbacks include: 1. Traffic conditions change in real time, and once the route is planned, this solution does not dynamically adjust the route based on actual conditions, making it difficult to cope with sudden traffic congestion along the original route; 2. In the event of a road blockage caused by a traffic accident or other reason, adjusting traffic lights does not resolve the congestion; and 3. The method is costly. This solution uses cameras to capture video footage to detect the number of vehicles on the road and license plates in real time, resulting in high equipment and computing power costs.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can more effectively help improve the traffic efficiency of emergency vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Example 1:

[0068] This embodiment provides a method for improving the traffic efficiency of emergency vehicles, which can be applied to corresponding traffic management systems, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0069] S1. Obtain an emergency mission request for an emergency vehicle, and after obtaining the emergency mission request, obtain emergency mission information of the emergency vehicle in real time, wherein the emergency mission information includes the vehicle's current location information and destination location information.

[0070] In specific implementation, when the system receives an emergency mission request for an emergency vehicle from an emergency vehicle or an emergency center, it starts to assist the emergency vehicle in passing, and then obtains the emergency mission information of the emergency vehicle in real time. The emergency mission information includes the vehicle's current location information and destination location information.

[0071] S2. Determine several alternative routes for the emergency vehicle to reach the destination from the current location and the estimated travel time for each alternative route based on the vehicle's current location information and the destination location information.

[0072] In specific implementation, after obtaining the vehicle's current position information and destination location information, the system can call a third-party electronic map service API, input the vehicle's current position information and destination location information, determine the m alternative routes for the emergency vehicle to reach the destination from the current position and the estimated travel time corresponding to each alternative route, and use the estimated travel time of the m alternative routes to form a column vector g with a vector dimension of m.

[0073] S3. Split each alternative route into corresponding multiple road sections, and determine the real-time traffic information and on-duty traffic police information of each road section in each alternative route.

[0074] In a specific implementation, each alternative route includes corresponding road segment division information. The system can split each alternative route into multiple sections based on the road segment division information. The maximum number of sections split from each alternative route is n, and the sections of each alternative route are arranged in order. Then, real-time traffic condition information and on-duty traffic police information are determined for each section of each alternative route. The real-time traffic condition information can be derived from the system's road information monitoring center, including a section congestion status information set and a section congestion influencing factor information set. The section congestion status information set may include the road status of the section and whether it is congested. The section congestion influencing factor information set includes the average travel speed v, as well as the cause of congestion, congestion distance, congestion traffic volume, temperature during the congestion period, and rainfall during the congestion period. The on-duty traffic police information can be derived from the system's traffic police positioning command center information. The on-duty traffic police information includes the location of the on-duty traffic police corresponding to the section and the shortest time t3 for the on-duty traffic police to reach the section.

[0075] S4. Determine the sections to be intervened in each alternative route based on the real-time traffic information of each section in each alternative route, and determine the duration of intervention for each section to be intervened in each alternative route based on the real-time traffic information and on-duty traffic police information of each section to be intervened in each alternative route.

[0076] In practice, the system can substitute the average speed v of each section of the alternative route into the congestion level formula d = ln(v0) - ln(v) to calculate the congestion level d for each section, where v0 is a preset speed constant. Sections of the alternative route with a congestion level d greater than a set congestion level threshold d0 are then designated as sections to be intervened on the alternative route, while the remaining sections are designated as non-intervention sections.

[0077] Then, based on the estimated travel time corresponding to the alternative route, the time t1 for the emergency vehicle to enter the corresponding section to be intervened in the alternative route, and the time t2 for the emergency vehicle to exit the corresponding section to be intervened in the alternative route can be determined. Substitute the time t1 for the emergency vehicle to enter the corresponding section to be intervened from the current position, the time t2 for the emergency vehicle to exit the corresponding section to be intervened from the current position, and the shortest time t3 for the on-duty traffic police to arrive at the section to be intervened into the calculation formula for the impact time to be intervened, and calculate the impact time t for the corresponding section to be intervened in the alternative route. The calculation formula for the impact time to be intervened is:

[0078]

[0079] S5. Determine the estimated time required for traffic police intervention for each alternative route based on the estimated travel time for each alternative route and the impact time of each section to be intervened in each alternative route.

[0080] In specific implementation, the system can use the information set of congestion influencing factors of the corresponding section to be intervened in the alternative route to form a normalized vector x of congestion influencing factors of the corresponding section to be intervened; substitute the normalized vector x of congestion influencing factors of the corresponding section to be intervened into the congestion intervention efficiency prediction model y=ω of the section to be intervened T Calculate in x+b to get the predicted value y of the congestion intervention efficiency of the road section to be intervened, where ω is the column vector of the weight coefficients of the congestion influencing factors corresponding to the road section to be intervened, ω T The transposed vector representing ω, b is the intercept vector corresponding to the road section to be intervened; the congestion intervention efficiency of the non-intervention road section in the alternative route is set to 0, and the congestion intervention efficiency prediction value y of each road section to be intervened in the alternative route and the congestion intervention efficiency of each non-intervention road section are used to form a vector a. If the number of road sections in the alternative route is less than n, the vector a is padded with 0 vectors to make its vector dimension n.

[0081] The congestion degree d of each road section in the alternative route can be used to form a vector D. If the number of road sections in the alternative route is less than n, the vector D is padded with 0 vectors to make its vector dimension n; the result vector of the alternative route is calculated Where T represents vector transpose and ° represents Hadamard product operation. Then, the result vectors β of m alternative routes are used to form an m×n dimensional matrix A.

[0082] The duration of intervention of the non-intervention sections in the alternative routes can be set to 0, and the duration of intervention of each section to be intervened t and the duration of intervention of each non-intervention section in the alternative routes are used to form a vector τ. If the number of sections in the alternative routes is less than n, the vector τ is padded with 0 vectors to make its vector dimension n; the vectors τ of m alternative routes are used to form an m×n dimensional matrix B.

[0083] Finally, based on the estimated travel time of m alternative routes, a column vector g with a vector dimension of m is formed. The column vector g, matrix A and matrix B are substituted into the vector formula of the estimated time result of traffic police intervention. Calculations are performed to obtain the traffic police intervention estimated time vector r, where E represents an m×n matrix with all elements set to 1, I represents an m×n matrix with all diagonal elements set to 1 and all other elements set to 0, and λ represents a column vector of all elements set to 1 and dimension m. Each element in the traffic police intervention estimated time vector r corresponds to the estimated time for traffic police intervention for each alternative route.

[0084] S6. Based on the estimated time required for traffic police intervention for each alternative route, select the one with the shortest estimated time required for traffic police intervention from among the alternative routes as the optimal route.

[0085] In specific implementation, after obtaining the traffic police intervention estimated time result vector r, the system can determine the traffic police intervention estimated time results of each alternative route, and select the one with the least traffic police intervention estimated time result as the best route.

[0086] S7. Send the optimal route to the emergency vehicle, generate an emergency mission road intervention support message, and send the emergency mission road intervention support message to the on-duty traffic police corresponding to each road section to be intervened in the optimal route.

[0087] During specific implementation, the system sends the optimal route to the emergency vehicle so that the emergency vehicle can travel according to the optimal route, and generates an emergency mission road intervention support message, and sends the emergency mission road intervention support message to the on-duty traffic police corresponding to each section to be intervened in the optimal route, so that the on-duty traffic police corresponding to each section to be intervened in the optimal route can conduct rapid traffic intervention to improve the traffic efficiency of the emergency vehicle.

[0088] When the emergency vehicle is traveling along the optimal route, the system can obtain the actual travel time t of the emergency vehicle through the corresponding intervention section of the optimal route. act , and the information set of factors affecting the congestion of the road section to be intervened, including the cause of congestion, congestion distance, congestion traffic volume, temperature during congestion, and rainfall during congestion, etc., and based on the expected travel time of the optimal route, the expected travel time t of the emergency vehicle through the corresponding road section to be intervened of the optimal route is determined pre ; Then the estimated travel time t pre and actual travel time t act Substitute into the actual congestion intervention efficiency formula , and obtain the actual congestion intervention efficiency α of the corresponding section to be intervened in the optimal route; finally, the actual congestion intervention efficiency α of the corresponding section to be intervened in the optimal route and the information set of the section congestion influencing factors are used as the traffic congestion information data of the section to be intervened, and the traffic congestion information data of the section to be intervened are saved in a database, and the traffic congestion information data of the section to be intervened are used to iteratively optimize and train its congestion intervention efficiency prediction model.

[0089] In addition, while the emergency vehicle is traveling along the optimal route, the system obtains the emergency mission information of the emergency vehicle in real time, repeats steps S2-S6, obtains the updated optimal route, and determines the estimated time result T' for traffic police intervention corresponding to the updated optimal route. and / or T0-T'>ΔT, where T0 is the estimated time result of the traffic police intervention corresponding to the best route before the update, θ is the set ratio threshold, and ΔT is the set difference threshold. It is determined that the emergency vehicle needs to change the route, the updated best route is sent to the emergency vehicle, and the emergency mission road intervention support message is sent to the on-duty traffic police corresponding to each section to be intervened in the updated best route, and a cancellation notice is sent to the on-duty traffic police corresponding to each section to be intervened in the best route before the update. Otherwise, it is determined that the emergency vehicle does not need to change the route.

[0090] By constructing a traffic police-emergency linkage model, this method can plan emergency vehicle routes, comprehensively consider the expected time benefits under the intervention of on-duty traffic police, determine the optimal driving route, and dispatch on-duty traffic police according to the optimal route. At the same time, it can make dynamic adjustments based on real-time road condition information, which helps to improve the traffic efficiency of emergency vehicles, reduce the time it takes for ambulances to transport patients, and improve the efficiency of emergency treatment.
