Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart transportation technology, and specifically to a traffic situation macro-analysis method based on a highway video cloud networking platform. Background Art

[0002] Traffic situation analysis refers to the process of monitoring, evaluating, and predicting the status and changes of various traffic elements in a transportation system. Traditional traffic situation analysis technology is a multivariate data fusion analysis method that typically collects structured data such as ETC flow data, sign recognition flow data, traffic flow data, and instantaneous vehicle speed. Using big data technology, it monitors and analyzes real-time traffic flows, including indicators such as average speed, congestion delay index, total number of real-time congestion, total number of vehicles in transit, and congested road mileage ratio. Machine learning and deep learning methods (such as ARIMA, SVM, CNN, and LSTM algorithms) are then used to predict short-term traffic flow trends.

[0003] For example, the document "Zhang Tingting. Research on Highway Traffic Flow Parameter Prediction and Situation Assessment Based on ETC Gantry Data [D]. Chongqing: Chongqing Jiaotong University, 2024." records a method for predicting highway traffic flow parameters and evaluating traffic situation based on ETC gantry data, integrating toll station data and meteorological data, constructing multi-feature fusion features, and using deep learning and clustering algorithms. The main contents are as follows: (1) Based on highway ETC gantry data, toll station data and meteorological data, time series analysis and correlation analysis are carried out to reveal the periodic fluctuations and distribution characteristics of traffic flow in time and space dimensions. (2) Combining the spatial information extraction advantages of one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN), the time series prediction ability of bidirectional long short-term memory neural network (Bi-LSTM) and attention mechanism (ATT), a multi-feature extraction method that integrates spatial characteristics, temporal characteristics and external influencing factors is proposed, and a CNN-BiLSTM-ATT traffic flow parameter prediction model is constructed to predict traffic flow. (3) A traffic situation assessment model based on IPSO-WFCM is proposed to evaluate traffic situation.

[0004] However, road network operation monitoring data typically collects structured data such as ETC gantry data, sign recognition flow charts, and radar data. Prioritizing cross-system data integration and data collection from front-end sensing devices is crucial. Cross-system data collection is often difficult. For example, ETC gantry data, which is part of the toll collection system within the expressway toll network, is maintained on an independent network, isolated from other networks and systems, and requires regulatory approval for access. Data collection from front-end sensing devices presents challenges with integrating and maintaining platform compatibility with diverse hardware devices. The inconsistent access protocols of different hardware devices necessitate platform compatibility with these protocols, complicating platform integration, commissioning, and maintenance. Furthermore, varying data cleaning and processing methods for different data types increase data processing complexity, requiring the system to be capable of processing diverse traffic data. Appropriate multivariate data fusion and analysis methods are needed to understand the dynamic operation of the road network. Multivariate predictive modeling techniques (such as regression models and graph neural networks) can then be used to identify trends within this complex data.

[0005] Therefore, existing traffic situation analysis methods have difficulties in data collection, data processing and analysis. Summary of the Invention

Perform normalization processing, specifically including: normalizing each set of traffic operation data to obtain a value within the range of [-1,1] , the normalized values ​​are as follows:

[0051]

[0052] in, is the mean of traffic operation data, is the variance of traffic operation data.

[0053] Furthermore, the traffic operation status identification by the k-means algorithm specifically includes:

[0060] By calculating the traffic operation status of each road section according to the above algorithm, the traffic operation status of each road section in the provincial road network can be obtained, and then the macro traffic operation status of provincial highways can be visualized based on the GIS map.

[0061] In one embodiment, in the historical regularity analysis:

[0062] The monthly correlation analysis is plotted with time points as the x-axis (step length is 1 hour), days as the y-axis (step length is 1 day), and traffic flow as the z-axis (unit is vehicle). Figure 2 The cycle shown is a traffic time series diagram for one month. By observing the traffic time series diagrams for multiple months, the monthly traffic flow variation pattern can be obtained;

[0063] The weekly correlation analysis is to draw a traffic time series diagram with a cycle of one week, with the time point as the x-axis (with a step length of 1 hour), the number of days as the y-axis (with a step length of 1 day), and the traffic flow as the z-axis (with a unit of vehicle). The traffic time series diagrams of multiple weeks are observed to obtain the weekly traffic flow variation pattern;

[0064] The daily correlation analysis is to draw a traffic time series diagram for the same day of the week X every week within a cycle, with the time point as the horizontal axis (with a step size of 1 hour) and the traffic flow as the vertical axis (in vehicles), where X is a specific day of the week (such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday). The traffic time series diagrams for the same day of the week X for multiple weeks are observed to obtain the daily traffic flow variation pattern;

[0065] The analysis of the holiday fluctuation characteristics is to draw a traffic time series diagram for the same holiday in the year with the time point as the horizontal axis (with a step length of 1 hour) and the traffic flow as the vertical axis (unit: vehicle). The holiday fluctuation characteristics are obtained by observing the traffic time series diagrams for several years.

[0066] The analysis of seasonal fluctuation characteristics is to draw a traffic time series diagram for the same season of the year with the time point as the x-axis (with a step size of 1 hour), the number of days as the y-axis (with a step size of 1 day), and the traffic flow as the z-axis (unit: vehicles). The seasonal fluctuation characteristics are obtained by observing the traffic time series diagrams for several years.

[0067] In one embodiment, the traffic situation prediction algorithm, "T-GCN: A Temporal Graph Convolutional Network for Traffic Prediction," published in the 2019 IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, is employed. The GCN captures the spatial topology of roads to obtain spatial correlation, and the GRU model captures the dynamic changes in node attributes to obtain temporal dependencies. Specifically, n historical time series data are used as input, and a graph convolutional network is used to capture the topology of the road network to obtain spatial features. Next, the obtained time series with spatial features are input into the GRU model, where dynamic changes are captured through inter-unit information transfer to obtain temporal features. Finally, the results are obtained through a fully connected layer. The input dataset consists of an adjacency matrix and a feature matrix. The adjacency matrix describes the spatial relationships between roads, with each row representing a road and the values ​​in the matrix indicating the connections between roads. The feature matrix describes the temporal changes in traffic flow on each road, with each row representing a road and each column representing the traffic flow on the road during different time periods.

[0068] In one embodiment, the traffic flow visualization further includes visualization of the macroscopic traffic operation status of provincial highways based on a GIS map.

[0069] From what has been said, we can see that:

[0070] Traditional traffic situation analysis technology usually uses various structured data such as ETC gantry data, license plate recognition flow data, traffic control data, radar data, etc. to analyze traffic operation conditions and predict traffic flow. It is necessary to collect data through front-end sensing equipment or connect to related systems to obtain data. There are objective situations such as multiple data types, high collection difficulty, and high data processing complexity. In addition, how to choose a suitable analysis and prediction algorithm for multivariate data is also a difficult problem.

[0071] The traffic situation macro-analysis method based on the highway video cloud networking platform of this embodiment only needs to process and analyze single data, which greatly reduces the difficulty of data collection and the complexity of data processing. It can also reuse the video analysis technology of the upgraded cloud platform for vehicle detection and congestion event detection, supporting the next step of traffic situation macro-analysis.

[0072] Secondly, most current traffic flow analysis methods require the use of several types of road network operation monitoring data, such as ETC gantry data, license plate recognition flow data, radar data, and traffic control data. In addition, a clear understanding of the above business data is required to accurately calculate the section-level traffic flow. This results in complex information interweaving and complex calculation models.

[0073] The traffic situation macro-analysis method based on the highway video cloud networking platform of this embodiment only needs to analyze the video data of the highway main line. It is simple and easy to understand in terms of business, low in data complexity and simple in function in development, and can quickly realize the business function online on the existing provincial cloud platform. In addition to conventional traffic flow analysis, the present invention also has the ability to visualize traffic situation, and can display the macro situation of the traffic situation of the provincial highway main line through visualization methods such as main line traffic heat map, main line passenger and freight vehicle distribution map, main line congestion events and congestion rate distribution map. Since the road network operation data has spatiotemporal correlation and volatility characteristics, the present invention uses a deep learning algorithm that can capture dynamic spatial dependency and time dependency to predict traffic flow, which improves the prediction accuracy compared to the machine learning method.

[0074] Therefore, in summary, the traffic situation macro-analysis method based on the highway video cloud networking platform of this embodiment can achieve relatively accurate traffic situation analysis and prediction based on a single data set. Compared with traditional traffic situation analysis methods, it reduces the difficulty of data collection, data processing and analysis complexity, and overall reduces the difficulty of system development. Furthermore, the traffic situation macro-analysis method based on the highway video cloud networking platform of this embodiment can fully utilize the existing video data sources, cloud network resources, and system platforms of the highway network. Simply adding a traffic situation analysis function to the provincial cloud platform can achieve macro-analysis of traffic situation on the main highway line. There is no need to add new front-end equipment or build new systems to meet business needs, which can greatly save construction costs.
