Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of autonomous driving technology, and in particular to an intelligent autonomous driving vehicle dispatching system based on multimodal perception and dynamic environment modeling. Background Art
[0002] As a key application of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving technology is gradually becoming part of our lives and a key development direction for future transportation. It plays a vital role in improving traffic safety, optimizing traffic efficiency, and enriching travel options. Currently, autonomous driving technology has been widely applied in various fields, including public transportation, taxis, logistics and delivery, and urban infrastructure.
[0003] The basic process of autonomous driving consists of three parts: perception, decision-making, and control. The perception system integrates data from various sensors, and using various algorithms and supporting software, it determines the driving plan based on the perception layer's output. Ultimately, the control system controls the vehicle. Currently, there are two mainstream technical approaches: a multi-sensor fusion solution based on cameras, and a LiDAR-based solution with other sensors as a supplement.
[0004] Current autonomous vehicle systems typically focus on single-sensor and dynamic environment scheduling and transportation tasks, with little consideration given to the coordination between multiple sensing and dynamic environments. In high-density traffic or large-scale activity areas, challenges such as route conflicts, inefficiencies, and traffic congestion arise. Existing systems lack the multimodal perception and dynamic environment scheduling capabilities to cope with these complex scenarios. Consequently, autonomous vehicles lack the environmental understanding, intelligent decision-making, and precise control required to make driving and scheduling decisions in complex scenarios. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing technology and greatly improve its technical effect on the basis of the existing technology. The present invention provides an intelligent autonomous driving vehicle dispatching system based on multimodal perception and dynamic environment modeling.

[0038] Among them Occ t is the environmental state at the current moment, Occ' t is the environmental state predicted by the system, || || is the norm, and η() is the function that minimizes the loss; the Occupancy Network adaptively learns from the environment and optimizes path planning in this way;
[0039] The self-supervised learning includes using a self-supervised learning method to optimize path planning and vehicle scheduling planning through idle and occupied areas, while introducing reinforcement learning to optimize vehicle scheduling, and inputting the optimization results into the adaptive cluster pick-up module in real time for real-time vehicle scheduling.
