Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle control devices, and particularly to a method and system for detecting vehicles using millimeter-wave radar. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most mines use positioning based on UWB technology. Since UWB technology cannot accurately identify the needs of vehicle speed, vehicle direction, and vehicle distance, it often cannot solve the congestion problem. Some mines use lidar, but due to the influence of factors such as the changing underground environment over time, signal detection and signal coverage have blind spots, resulting in high false alarm rates and large distance errors in positioning target objects. It is difficult to capture effective and accurate signal sources, and from a systematic perspective, it is impossible to effectively count the traffic flow and vehicle detection statistics of vehicle speeds in a specific roadway during a specific time period. Therefore, under multiple factors such as equipment hardware failures, complex environmental interference in underground mines, electromagnetic waves generated by wireless signal sources, and unstable positions of base station signal coverage, neither UWB technology nor lidar technology can effectively and accurately detect vehicles.

[0003] The current transportation environment of underground trackless rubber-tired vehicles relies on the self-discipline of drivers to abide by the traffic regulations of underground trackless rubber-tired vehicles. Due to the small space in the underground environment, especially in the roadways for round trips to the working face, drivers often do not know whether there are vehicles driving in the roadway, their driving positions, and how far they are from the chamber, resulting in roadway traffic jams. In this case, one trackless rubber-tired vehicle must reverse to give way to the other, which will lead to the defect of reduced utilization rate of trackless rubber-tired vehicles. Even more, if multiple trackless rubber-tired vehicles enter the same roadway during the same time period, it will inevitably lead to vehicle congestion and may also cause unnecessary accidents.

[0004] The prior art has the following deficiencies: However, in a complex mining environment, the transportation environment of trackless rubber-tired vehicles has unique terrain and irregular tunnel walls, which may cause reflection and diffraction phenomena of millimeter-wave radar in the complex mining environment, resulting in misjudgment of the vehicle detection system. And in a narrow mine roadway, when there are multiple trackless rubber-tired vehicle targets at the same time, the millimeter-wave radar signal may be affected by reflection and occlusion, making it difficult for the vehicle detection system to accurately identify and locate multiple targets. In addition, electromagnetic interference generated by radio transmission equipment and electric mechanical equipment will affect the stability of radar signals and the robustness of the vehicle detection system.

[0005] The above information disclosed in the background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

By accurately modeling the electromagnetic characteristics in the roadway, use Maxwell's equations to simulate the propagation and reflection characteristics of millimeter-wave signals under mine tunnel conditions, and construct a radar simulation model. Use computer simulation software to simulate and test the performance of millimeter-wave radar under different working conditions. The performance includes signal-to-noise ratio SNR, range-velocity resolution, detection probability, and false alarm rate. Use the genetic algorithm to find the optimal parameter set of the radar and adaptively optimize and adjust the parameters and update the model;

[0108] It should be noted that the steps for establishing the electromagnetic model of the mine environment are as follows:

[0109] Since the mine tunnel structure and the electromagnetic characteristics of the wall materials underground will both affect the propagation process of radar signals, that is, affect the reflection and absorption of millimeter waves, introduce Maxwell's equations to calculate the losses in the signal propagation process, including free-space loss and additional loss of material attenuation, which are respectively calibrated as , ;

Among them, the steps of genetic algorithm optimization are as follows: Generate an initial population composed of radar parameters, calibrated as , and the initial population ;

[0115] Calculate the fitness of the initial population , calibrated as , and score according to the performance indicators of the predetermined signal-to-noise ratio, range resolution, velocity resolution, detection probability, and false alarm rate.

Among them, single-point crossover is that the genes of the next generation are exchanged from the gene sequences of the parent individuals to generate new individuals with different characteristics, and gene mutation means that each gene in the gene sequence of each individual has a mutation probability of 0.1% - 1.0%. When any gene is selected to mutate, the gene sequence value of the individual itself will change;

The visual information includes the traffic flow status of the entire channel, and compares the warning decision threshold with the judgment result of the visual information, thereby triggering an alarm.

[0123] It should be noted that the setting logic of the warning decision threshold is as follows:

[0124] Based on the accident records of rubber-tyred trackless vehicles in the past, traffic data, and the environment and structure of the nodes where accidents frequently occur in the mine tunnel, different scenarios are simulated to test different risk controllability coefficients. The effect of triggering alarms can be adjusted to ensure that dangers can be effectively prevented and sufficient response time is provided in the actual mine tunnel situation;

When the vehicle position in the tunnel is synchronized, the alarm is triggered at intervals, and the visualization information of the vehicle position in the tunnel and the traffic flow status of the whole scene channel is synchronized, so that the trackless rubber-tyred vehicle driver can actively control the traffic operation status according to the traffic rules of the mine tunnel;

[0126] At the same time, combined with the alarm frequency, alarm sensitivity and false alarm rate, data is transmitted using WIFI, 4G or MESH technology, and the driver experience data is fed back to the convolutional neural network model for optimization training, and the risk control coefficient is accurately generated. , and further carry out early warning processing, respond quickly when potential target vehicle risks are detected in time, ensure the safety of driving underground in the mine while ensuring high-speed, reliable and low-latency transmission of communications.
