[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , a method for dynamic collaborative inspection of urban roads by multiple devices, comprising:
[0027] S1. Identify road damage characteristics through a wide-area perception layer and generate an event trigger signal. The wide-area perception layer in step S1 includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), equipped with a visible light / infrared composite optical sensor, to conduct wide-area inspections, identify road damage characteristics, and generate an event trigger signal. The road damage characteristics include damage types and evaluation parameters, including cracks, potholes, cracked meshes, repaired potholes, repaired cracked meshes, and repaired cracks. The evaluation parameters include length / area evaluation parameters. The UAV performs high-altitude patrols along a planned route, identifies road damage types and evaluation parameters through real-time image analysis, and generates a trigger signal containing geographic location and preliminary damage determination.
[0028] S2. Analyze the event trigger signal in real time through the digital intelligent decision layer to generate a dispatch instruction including the location coordinates and damage type;
[0029] S3. The dynamic execution layer executes motor vehicle lane detection based on the dispatch instruction, collects and analyzes road surface image data and driving vibration characteristics, and executes pedestrian sidewalk detection based on the dispatch instruction, collects and analyzes sidewalk pavement surface image data and motion vibration waveforms. The dynamic execution layer includes a patrol vehicle and a robotic dog. The patrol vehicle executes motor vehicle lane detection based on the dispatch instruction, collects and analyzes road surface image data and driving vibration characteristics. The patrol vehicle is equipped with a multi-axis acceleration sensor array, and the vibration characteristic analysis includes the exposure duration and magnitude detection of abnormal vibration.
[0030] The robot dog performs sidewalk detection based on the dispatch instruction, collecting and analyzing sidewalk pavement surface image data and motion vibration waveforms. The vibration sensors on the robot dog's limbs collect contact vibration waveforms of paving bricks to determine whether the paving bricks are loose. The steps for the robot dog to detect loose paving bricks specifically include:
[0031] 1) Perform gait traversal in the target area and collect vibration signals in the X / Y biaxial directions;
[0032] 2) Construct an attenuation model of vibration energy in the brick joint area;
[0033] 3) Locate the three-dimensional coordinates of the loose bricks according to the phase mutation point of the attenuation model.
[0034] Furthermore, the robot dog sidewalk pavement detection method is as follows:
[0035] 1. Gait control and data acquisition:
[0036] Adopt the orthogonal gait traversal algorithm based on the grid map, as shown in the following method: Figure 2 , ensuring 100% coverage of the detection area;
[0037] The foot-end embedded vibration detection array is used to collect the z-axis vibration waveform at 5s intervals at the moment of contact with the ground, such as Figure 3 As shown;
[0038] 2. Vibration signal modeling and positioning:
[0039] After performing wavelet denoising on the original signal, short-time Fourier transform is used to extract frequency domain features;
[0040] Construct a vibration energy attenuation model:
[0041] 3. Loose positioning and 3D mapping
[0042] Abnormal displacement of brick joints is identified through phase mutation point detection algorithm.
[0043] S4, performing time-domain-spatial correlation analysis on image features and vibration waveforms through the digital intelligent decision layer to generate detection results;
[0044] S5. The digital intelligent decision-making layer adjusts the inspection path and operating parameters of each device based on the detection results of each terminal, forming a closed-loop feedback loop. The digital intelligent decision-making layer includes a dynamic planning module, which implements the following optimization strategies:
[0045] (1) Density adjustment of the UAV’s subsequent patrol path;
[0046] (2) Matching of patrol vehicle detection speed and sensor working mode;
[0047] (3) Dynamic balance between the gait parameters of the mechanical dog and the detection accuracy.
[0048] Furthermore, the digital intelligence decision-making layer includes a cloud-based control center with a built-in data fusion module. This module performs spatiotemporal correlation analysis on the damage distribution detected by drones, the vibration time series characteristics of patrol vehicles, and the location of loose bricks detected by the robot dog. The end-to-end control center also has a built-in multi-source data fusion engine.
[0049] Furthermore, the cloud control center includes a damage degradation trend prediction module, which is used to analyze the loss of driving / walking comfort that may be caused by the detected disease, and the damage degradation trend at that location in combination with historical data, and then generate a composite detection report including repair priority.
[0050] Furthermore, intelligent collaboration and dynamic optimization are as follows:
[0051] 1. Multi-device task scheduling:
[0052] Assign detection equipment based on damage type: when a drone triggers a crack larger than 2 cm, a patrol vehicle is dispatched first; when a dislocated joint is triggered, a robotic dog is dispatched;
[0053] Establish a device status monitoring dashboard to display parameters such as workload, remaining power, and inspection progress in real time;
[0054] 2. Closed-loop feedback control:
[0055] The dynamic programming module trains a detection efficiency optimization model based on historical data and implements three core strategies, namely the optimization strategies implemented by the dynamic programming module:
[0056] The drone automatically adjusts the aerial photography overlap rate according to the damage density (20%-80% dynamically adjustable);
[0057] The patrol car matches the speed, i.e. 5-30km / h, and the sampling frequency, i.e. 10-100Hz, based on the complexity of the road conditions;
[0058] The robot dog switches between high-precision mode and fast mode. The high-precision mode is a low-speed step; the fast mode is a high-speed step.
[0059] 3. Emergency Response Mechanism:
[0060] After receiving the municipal emergency command, the priority interruption protocol is activated. That is, when an emergency inspection command is received from the municipal system, the nearest idle equipment is prioritized to generate a response team, and the optimal scheduling chain is constructed according to the GPS location to ensure that a response plan is generated within 30 seconds.
