The system compares the license plate information with the pre-stored user-bound license plate information to determine if the license plate is on the authorized whitelist. It also captures the driver's or user's facial image through a camera and compares it with the facial feature database of registered users in the system. If the authentication is successful, the payment process is allowed; otherwise, the transaction is rejected and a manual review is prompted.
[0222] The payment circuit breaker protection module 43 generates a comprehensive risk score by weighting multi-dimensional anomaly indicators. And automatically trigger the circuit breaker mechanism when abnormal payment behavior occurs.
[0223] Specifically, comprehensive risk score for:
[0224] ;
[0225] In the formula, Indicates the first The actual value of the abnormal indicator; Indicates the first Thresholds for each indicator; express Weighting coefficients; Index variables representing abnormal indicators; This indicates the total amount of abnormal indicators;
[0226] The automatic circuit breaker mechanism is as follows:
[0227] ;
[0228] In the formula, Indicates a circuit breaker operation;
[0229] when At that time, payment is restricted; Payment is allowed at that time;
[0230] Specifically, when one or more risk indicators are detected to exceed the preset security threshold, the system automatically assesses whether there is fraud or illegal transaction behavior; once a high-risk behavior is determined, the payment circuit breaker mechanism is immediately triggered, suspending the current transaction process and sending an alarm message to the management backend, while recording complete transaction context data for subsequent auditing.
[0231] Furthermore, in the edge computing-based smart parking unmanned vehicle access management system, a blockchain smart contract module, a multi-factor authentication module, and a payment circuit breaker protection module jointly construct a secure, reliable, and automated payment and identity management system. Specifically, the blockchain smart contract module automatically executes parking fee settlements and records transaction data on the blockchain, ensuring transparent and tamper-proof billing and enhancing the system's credibility. The multi-factor authentication module integrates license plate recognition, facial features, and bioelectrical signals to achieve highly reliable user identity verification, preventing impersonation and unauthorized access. The payment circuit breaker protection module automatically triggers a circuit breaker mechanism when abnormal payment behavior is detected, promptly blocking risky transactions and ensuring fund security. The synergistic effect of these three modules effectively supports the security, compliance, and efficient operation of the payment process in unmanned scenarios.
[0232] The edge computing-based intelligent parking unmanned vehicle access management system also includes an edge-cloud collaboration unit 5. This edge-cloud collaboration unit 5 uses federated learning and spatiotemporal data compression technology to achieve model differential updates, cross-domain task scheduling, and energy efficiency optimization.
[0233] In this example, the edge-cloud collaboration unit 5 includes a model differential federation module 51, a spatiotemporal data compression module 52, and a collaborative task scheduling module 53;
[0234] The model differential federation module 51 is used to perform differential updates between the local model and the cloud-aggregated model.
[0235] Specifically, after training the model on the local device, the original data is not uploaded. Instead, the differences between the local model parameters and the global model in the cloud are encrypted and compressed, and key gradient directions are selected for sparsification before being uploaded to the cloud for aggregation and update.
[0236] Calculate the difference ;
[0237] ;
[0238] In the formula, Indicates the first Local model parameters for each edge node; Represents the edge node index variable; Indicates the current global model parameters;
[0239] Select the vector with the largest absolute value. Each element is the part to be uploaded;
[0240] The difference vector after sparsification is obtained by Top-K selection. ;
[0241] ;
[0242] After receiving the model difference information uploaded by all edge nodes, the cloud uses a weighted average algorithm to generate a new global model;
[0243] Then the new global model parameters for:
[0244] ;
[0245] In the formula, This represents the total number of edge nodes; Indicates the first The weight coefficients of each edge node;
[0246] The spatiotemporal data compression module 52 is used to apply a compression algorithm based on the Transformer structure to the normalized multimodal data. Compress;
[0247] A compression algorithm based on the Transformer architecture is used to process the normalized multimodal data. The numerical expression for compression is:
[0248] ;
[0249] In the formula, This represents compressed multimodal data; This describes the entire operation flow of the Transformer encoder;
[0250] The entire operation process of the Transformer encoder includes:
[0251] Add positional encoding: Add positional information to the input sequence;
[0252] Multi-head self-attention mechanism: capturing long-distance dependencies in input data;
[0253] Feedforward neural networks: further process the feature representations at each time step;
[0254] Residual connections and layer normalization: stabilize the training process and accelerate convergence.
[0255] Specifically, the high-dimensional perception data from the vehicle detection and positioning unit and the license plate recognition unit is compressed and encoded to reduce the communication bandwidth pressure between edge devices and the cloud. This module uses a Transformer-based compression algorithm to perform low-dimensional embedding representation on the input spatiotemporal data stream and output a compressed data stream. At the same time, it ensures that the reconstruction error between the decompressed data and the original data is below a preset threshold, thereby significantly reducing transmission overhead while ensuring the integrity of key information.
[0256] The collaborative task scheduling module 53 dynamically allocates tasks based on local and cloud resource conditions and optimizes overall system efficiency through a total cost minimization algorithm.
[0257] The numerical expression for optimizing overall system efficiency by dynamically allocating tasks using a total cost minimization algorithm is:
[0258] ;
[0259] In the formula, This represents the minimum total cost; Indicates task The computational complexity; Indicates the priority of the task; Indicates the cost of cloud communication; Represent decision variables; This represents the task index variable;
[0260] When the task is executed locally, then When the task is executed in the cloud, then .
[0261] Specifically, the computational complexity and priority of each task in the current task queue are evaluated in real time. Combined with local energy consumption and cloud communication costs, it is determined whether each task is executed locally or uploaded to the cloud for processing. The final task scheduling scheme maximizes resource utilization and optimizes energy efficiency while ensuring response latency, thereby improving the system's flexibility and scalability.
[0262] Furthermore, in the edge computing-based intelligent parking unmanned vehicle access management system, the edge-cloud collaboration unit integrates a model differential federation module, a spatiotemporal data compression module, and a collaborative task scheduling module to achieve efficient collaboration and resource optimization between the local and cloud environments. Specifically, the model differential federation module supports differential updates between the local model and the cloud-aggregated model, improving model accuracy while ensuring data privacy and system learning efficiency; the spatiotemporal data compression module compresses high-dimensional sensing data (such as images, radar, pose, etc.), reducing communication bandwidth pressure and improving transmission efficiency; and the collaborative task scheduling module intelligently allocates computing tasks based on the resource load of local edge nodes and the cloud, balancing workloads and improving the overall system's response speed and operating efficiency. This collaborative mechanism effectively supports intelligent and distributed vehicle management and decision-making capabilities in large-scale parking lot environments.
