BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of a one-way traffic network optimization method based on compatible Euler tour according to the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to further clarify the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined object of the application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

[0033] The specific scheme of the single-lane traffic network optimization method based on compatible Euler tour provided by the present application will be specifically described below in combination with the drawings.

[0034] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 , a flow chart of a single-lane traffic network optimization method based on compatible Euler tour provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0035] S1, collect traffic data and construct a traffic network graph; based on the in-degree and out-degree of the nodes in the traffic network graph, recursively optimize the topological structure of the traffic network graph to obtain a topologically adjusted traffic network graph;

[0036] Through the city traffic monitoring system, GPS tracking device, road sensor and other equipment, the traffic data of each road section is collected in real time, including traffic flow data, road length and passing time, etc., and the traffic data is normalized to eliminate the dimension problem. The normalization method is a well-known technical means to those skilled in the art, and will not be described here. The preliminary structure of the city traffic network is extracted from the normalized traffic data to construct a traffic network graph , wherein, denotes the node set in the traffic network graph , denotes the directed edge set in the traffic network graph , denotes the node set in the traffic network graph , denotes the directed edge set in the traffic network graph It is a directed graph, where each node represents an intersection or junction, and each directed edge represents a one-way street (i.e., road segment). The edge weight (i.e., road segment weight) is obtained by weighted summation of the traffic flow data, travel time, and road segment length of the road segment, reflecting the capacity, time consumption, and distance of each one-way street on the path. Each road segment has its corresponding direction in the traffic network graph, conforming to the flow constraints of the one-way street system, ensuring that the weight of each edge in the path planning process is consistent with the actual traffic conditions. The weights used in the road segment weight calculation process are set according to specific circumstances through expert experience and are not limited here.

[0037] For each node , calculate the in-degree of the node and out-degree , and judge the traffic network diagram Whether the Euler tour condition is satisfied: If the traffic network graph There are nodes in Make , then the traffic network graph The Euler tour condition is not satisfied; in order to make the traffic network graph Satisfy the Euler tour condition, that is, ensure that the in-degree and out-degree of each node are equal, introduce the correction factor, and recursively correct the in-degree and out-degree of the nodes in the traffic network graph to improve the traffic network graph. The topological structure of the network is recursively optimized to make the traffic network graph satisfy the Euler tour condition;

[0038] Specifically, based on the basic properties of the Euler graph and combined with the flow balance problem in network flow theory, a correction factor calculation formula is constructed to obtain the correction factor. Furthermore, for each node that does not meet the Euler tour condition (i.e., the node with unequal in-degree and out-degree), a correction factor is introduced. According to the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of the node, the structure of the traffic network graph is dynamically adjusted, thereby gradually balancing the in-degree and out-degree of the node, so that the traffic network graph meets the requirements of the Euler graph. The correction factor calculation formula is:

[0039] ;

[0040] in, It is nodes Correction factor of is the proportional coefficient of the adjustment factor, which is used to adjust the influence of the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of the node on the path correction. It is selected according to the experimental or actual traffic flow conditions and the value range is [0.1,10]; is an influence coefficient for controlling the degree of non-linear correction of the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of the node, obtained by an optimization algorithm (such as gradient descent method), the value range is [0.5, 2], the gradient descent method is a technical means familiar to those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here; and respectively represent the in-degree and out-degree of the first node , the calculation method of the in-degree and out-degree is a technical means familiar to those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated here; is the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of the first node , representing the node correction amount; is a coefficient for adjusting the normalization degree of the sum of all node correction amounts, which is adjusted by expert experience method according to the complexity of the traffic network graph, the value range is [0.1, 3];

[0041] Based on the correction factor, the in-degree and out-degree of the node are adjusted by combining the expert experience method, so as to reduce the difference between the in-degree and out-degree, and make the in-degree and out-degree of the node gradually balanced; The specific adjustment process is: if the in-degree of the node is greater than the out-degree, the edge flowing out of the node needs to be increased (i.e. increase the out-degree), if the out-degree is greater than the in-degree, the edge pointing to the node needs to be increased (i.e. increase the in-degree), the size of the correction factor determines the adjustment strength; According to the expert experience method, set the adjustment threshold, when the correction factor is greater than the adjustment threshold, increase the adjustment amplitude, when the correction factor is less than or equal to the adjustment threshold, reduce the adjustment amplitude; The specific size of the adjustment amplitude is set by expert experience method according to specific scene, which is not limited here;

[0042] After correction, the topological structure of the traffic network graph will be more in line with the conditions of Euler graph, which can make the traffic network graph more efficient in path scheduling and optimization; After multiple rounds of recursive correction, the traffic network graph satisfying the Euler tour condition (i.e. the traffic network graph after topological adjustment) , represents the node set in the traffic network graph after topological adjustment, and represents the directed edge set in the traffic network graph after topological adjustment.

[0043] S2, based on the traffic network graph after topological adjustment, a path optimization model based on feedback correction is used to calculate the path correction amount, and a real-time feedback mechanism is introduced to perform path planning and optimization;

[0044] Based on the traffic network graph after topological adjustment, a path optimization model based on feedback correction is constructed to calculate the path correction amount, and a real-time feedback mechanism is introduced to perform path planning and optimization, so as to ensure the real-time adaptability and optimality of the path; The specific optimization process is as follows:

[0045] Firstly, based on the weight of the road segment in the topology-adjusted traffic network graph, the known path is calculated by the shortest path algorithm The shortest path from the starting point to the ending point is the initial planning path; the shortest path algorithm (such as Dijkstra algorithm, A* algorithm, etc.) is a technical means familiar to those skilled in the art, and will not be described here;

[0046] Further, based on the weight of the road segment and the topology-adjusted traffic network graph, the initial planning path is corrected; specifically, after each path selection, the path correction amount is adjusted according to the weight of each road segment on the selected path: when the weight of some road segments in the path is greater than the weight threshold preset according to the expert experience method, it means that the traffic cost of the road segment exceeds the expectation, and the path needs to be adjusted to avoid the road segment becoming a bottleneck; at the same time, in the path planning, the topology structure of the node determines the selection and flow direction of the path, and the path correction amount needs to consider the topology structure of the node, especially the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of the node: if the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of some nodes in the path (such as the intersection with high traffic flow) exceeds the in-degree and out-degree difference threshold set according to the expert experience method, the node may cause path conflict or traffic bottleneck;

[0047] Therefore, the final path correction amount is the result of the joint influence of the road segment weight and the node topology structure; when there is a road segment weight greater than the weight threshold, or the difference between the in-degree and out-degree of the node is greater than the in-degree and out-degree difference threshold, a path optimization model based on feedback correction is constructed combining the road segment weight and the node topology structure, and the specific expression is as follows:

[0048] ;

[0049] Among them, is the path correction amount at time ; is a proportional factor for controlling the influence of the road segment weight on the path correction, which determines the importance of the road segment weight part in the path correction amount, and is adjusted by gradient descent method according to the historical traffic flow data from the existing database, with a value range of [0.1, 10]; is the weight of the road segment , which represents the weighted sum of the traffic flow data, travel time and road length between the th node and the th node , reflecting the travel time, distance and traffic flow of the road segment; represents the travel cost of the path ; is a scale factor of the influence of the node topology structure, which determines the importance of the node in-out degree difference part in the path correction amount, and the value range is [0.1, 10] through experiments; path ; is any one node in the path ; is the in-degree of the th node ; is the out-degree of the th node ; by comprehensively considering the passing cost of each section in the path and the in-degree and out-degree difference of each node in the path, the passing efficiency and structural rationality of the path can be optimized at the same time when the path is corrected;

[0050] Further, a real-time feedback mechanism is introduced, and based on the output path correction amount , a real-time scheduling feedback correction amount is calculated to optimize the path scheduling; the real-time scheduling feedback correction amount draws on the concepts in dynamic programming and feedback control theory, especially the idea of adjusting and optimizing the path based on real-time data, which not only depends on the path correction amount, but also involves multiple factors such as real-time traffic flow data, path congestion degree and passing time;

[0051] Specifically, under the influence of the path correction amount, traffic flow data and path congestion degree will dynamically change, and when the path correction amount is greater than the preset correction threshold, it indicates that the current path needs to be adjusted and optimized to ensure the path efficiency. The specific real-time feedback correction amount calculation formula is as follows:

[0052] ;

[0053] wherein, represents the real-time scheduling feedback correction amount of the path at time ; and are weight factors for balancing the influence between the path correction amount and the traffic flow data and the path congestion degree in feedback correction, and the value range is [0, 1] through regression analysis; and are sensitivity adjustment parameters for controlling the influence strength of the traffic flow data and the passing time , and the value is a positive real number through regression analysis; is the passing time of the path at time traffic flow data representing the traffic flow or traffic density on the path per unit time; is the path at time traffic congestion degree; is the path at time passage time; the traffic flow data, traffic congestion degree and passage time are all from normalized traffic data; the regression analysis is a technique well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here;

[0054] based on the real-time scheduling feedback correction amount , the path scheduling is performed to ensure the real-time and optimality of the scheduling, so that the path scheduling can be corrected in real time in the dynamic traffic environment to achieve the optimal state. Through the real-time feedback mechanism, the path correction is closely connected with the real-time scheduling, forming an efficient and intelligent traffic scheduling system, which ensures that the traffic network can maintain the optimal path planning and scheduling efficiency in the dynamically changing environment.

[0055] In summary, a one-way traffic network optimization method based on compatible Euler tour is completed.

[0056] The order of the embodiments of the application is only for description, and does not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiments. The processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or continuous order shown to achieve the desired results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are possible or can be advantageous.

[0057] Each embodiment in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between each embodiment can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments.
