Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of disaster monitoring technology and transportation safety management, and in particular relates to a slope disease early warning and traffic control system based on an intelligent road cone robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale construction and operation of highway infrastructure, intelligent monitoring of slope stability and collaborative management of traffic emergencies have become core challenges in the field of road safety operation and maintenance. Current slope monitoring technologies mainly rely on fixed sensing terminals and periodic manual inspections, which suffer from technical defects such as high deployment costs, insufficient spatial coverage density, and discrete temporal data, resulting in insufficient real-time early warning capabilities for sudden slope instability. Although UAV remote sensing inspections have the advantages of flexibility and mobility, their limited endurance and poor resistance to severe weather conditions make it difficult to achieve all-weather, continuous slope condition perception, severely restricting the timeliness and reliability of disaster early warnings.

[0003] Traffic cones are widely used temporary warning devices in road traffic management. However, traditional traffic cones are limited to static physical isolation and cannot achieve dynamic traffic flow control. Furthermore, their reliance on manual deployment leads to poor response timeliness, making them unsuitable for rapid response to sudden slope disasters. Traffic management based on manual intervention lacks real-time data support. While current intelligent transportation systems attempt to improve monitoring capabilities through fixed monitoring equipment, the fixed deployment locations of these devices result in blind spots and equipment vulnerabilities. More importantly, existing systems lack an efficient "monitoring-decision-execution" closed-loop mechanism to ensure timely traffic control.

[0004] Existing slope monitoring systems are separated from traffic control equipment, relying on manual intervention and lacking a real-time linkage mechanism. While patent CN119399963A proposes dynamic early warning for intelligent traffic cones, it does not address the closed-loop execution of slope disease identification and traffic control. Patent CN218723923U's slope monitoring technology is limited to deformation sensing and cannot trigger automated traffic response. This invention, through a cluster of ROS intelligent traffic cone robots, achieves fully automated closed-loop management of the entire process from slope condition perception to disaster early warning to dynamic deployment of traffic cones.

[0048] Example 5

[0049] As another embodiment, this fifth embodiment proposes, based on the fourth embodiment, a more specific slope disease early warning and traffic control system based on an intelligent road cone robot.

[0050] like Figure 2As shown, the remote control center includes a database, a human-machine interaction module, an intelligent decision-making module, and an instruction conversion and sending module. The database stores slope monitoring data from the slope monitoring module. The human-machine interaction module allows users to interact with the ROS software module. The intelligent decision-making module integrates machine learning prediction models and multi-objective optimization algorithms to assess slope stability risks and generate traffic control strategies based on location information data, motion status data, slope monitoring data, early warning information, structured disease information data, and grade assessment data, and outputs decision instructions. The instruction conversion and sending module converts the decision instructions from the intelligent decision-making module into control commands, which are then sent to the road cone robot cluster.

[0051] The human-machine interaction module of the remote control center includes a positioning information module, an autonomous navigation visualization module, and a disaster early warning module. The positioning information module displays the coordinates and motion status of the road cone robot based on the location information and motion status data fed back by the road obstacle robot.

The disaster early warning module displays the distribution of risk areas in the form of a heat map based on early warning information, structured disease information data, and level assessment data, and displays the control plan suggestions generated by the system.

[0052] The disaster early warning module displays the early warning details on the interface of the human-computer interaction module based on the early warning information, structured disease information data and level assessment data fed back by the edge decision module of the ROS software module.

[0053] The positioning information module and the autonomous navigation visualization module perform 3D modeling and fusion processing based on the position information data fed back by the ROS software module's positioning software module, the path planning data from the ROS software module, and the motion status data fed back by the obstacle avoidance software module. This constructs a real-time situation map that includes elements such as the robot cluster distribution status, dynamic navigation path, environmental obstacle information, and a heat map of the warning area. The autonomous navigation visualization module supports multi-dimensional data display and interactive operation. Users can use the touch screen to perform functions such as precise positioning query of the road cone robot, dynamic path adjustment, task priority setting, and rapid issuance of emergency commands.

Adopting an event-driven architecture, the module incorporates a two-way communication mechanism, simultaneously displaying the real-time status of the traffic cone robot cluster and dynamic changes in traffic flow. The interface utilizes intelligent rendering technology to integrate and display multi-source data, supporting direct user control and parameter adjustment of the traffic cone robot cluster while ensuring low-latency transmission and execution feedback of control commands.

[0055] The intelligent decision-making module, based on real-time collected slope monitoring data, dynamically analyzes the slope stability status through a multi-dimensional risk assessment algorithm and establishes a disaster evolution prediction model. It employs a hybrid analysis method combining machine learning and geotechnical mechanics to assess the potential risk level of the slope in real time and dynamically displays the analysis results through a visual interface of the human-computer interaction module, including slope deformation trends, risk heat maps, and early warning level information. The intelligent decision-making module supports multi-terminal access, ensuring that managers can monitor the slope status in real time and respond promptly, forming a closed-loop management process from data collection to decision support.

[0056] The intelligent decision-making module integrates slope monitoring data obtained from multiple sensors by the slope monitoring module with high-definition camera visual recognition results from structured disease information data uploaded by the road cone robot. It also incorporates location information data, motion status data, early warning information, and level assessment data, and calls upon a pre-built scene knowledge base for multi-dimensional analysis to dynamically generate a complete decision-making plan that includes disaster level assessment, development trend prediction, and emergency response suggestions. The intelligent decision-making module automatically converts the optimized road cone robot deployment strategy into decision instructions and then converts the decision instructions from the intelligent decision-making module into control commands, which are then sent to the target robot cluster via a remote communication link, realizing intelligent handling of the entire process from disaster identification to the implementation of control measures.

[0057] It should be noted that the parts in this embodiment that are the same as or similar to those in Embodiment 4 can be referred to each other, and will not be repeated in this application.

[0058] Example 6

[0059] As another embodiment, this sixth embodiment, based on the fifth embodiment, proposes an automated working process for early warning and traffic control of slope landslide disasters using the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown:

[0060] A. When the road cone robot deployed in the slope area continuously monitors the slope surface cracks through high-definition cameras and finds that the crack expansion rate exceeds the threshold, its edge computing module will immediately start a multi-dimensional risk assessment algorithm; the edge decision module triggers an early warning and automatically generates early warning information, which is transmitted to the remote control center in real time through the communication module.

[0061] B. Upon receiving the early warning information sent by the road cone robot, the intelligent decision-making module of the remote control center immediately initiates the analysis process; it retrieves environmental parameters such as displacement monitoring data, pore water pressure data, and rainfall in the slope area in real time through the IoT data interface, and constructs a multi-dimensional slope stability assessment model; based on a hybrid algorithm of machine learning and geotechnical mechanics theory, the system automatically calculates the probability of slope instability and assesses the urgency of the disaster, generating an early warning report that includes risk level, impact range, and expected development trend. The early warning report is presented in real time through the three-dimensional visualization interface of the human-computer interaction module.

[0062] C. Based on real-time acquired multi-source monitoring data and risk assessment results, the intelligent decision-making module of the remote control center initiates the traffic control scheme generation algorithm; simultaneously, it generates a corresponding traffic guidance scheme, and the remote control center automatically generates a set of control commands, which are then sent to the road cone robot cluster for execution.

[0063] D. The traffic control plan is analyzed and decomposed into a sequence of executable machine instructions, including key control elements such as target coordinate set, priority path planning, and safety distance parameters; through a dedicated communication protocol conversion interface, the system converts the control strategy into control commands adapted to different models of traffic cone robots and distributes them to the corresponding traffic cone robots;

[0064] E. The execution module of the road cone robot decodes the control commands sent by the remote control center, extracts key parameters, and sends them to the drive system of the motion module;

[0065] The F. Road Cone Robot's positioning software module receives satellite signals from a GPS receiver station in real time. Simultaneously, a LiDAR performs a 3D scan of the environment. The collected point cloud data is processed by the path planning and obstacle avoidance software module in real time to eliminate noise interference and generate an environmental feature map with centimeter-level accuracy. This spatial data is transmitted back to the remote control center in real time through the communication module and is overlaid and merged with the basic data of the geographic information system to form a comprehensive situation map that includes the real-time position of the Road Cone Robot, the distribution of surrounding obstacles, and terrain features.

[0066] The sensor module of the G. Road Cone robot continuously collects multi-dimensional environmental data during its movement and achieves precise navigation through a fusion positioning algorithm. All navigation data is transmitted back to the remote control center in real time through the communication module, where it is spatiotemporally aligned and fused with geographic information system data. The 3D visualization platform of the remote control center dynamically renders this information, intuitively displaying the robot's real-time position, planned path, and environmental characteristics in the form of color coding and vector arrows.

[0067] H. During the placement of each traffic cone robot, the traffic cone robot cluster achieves efficient collaborative operation through a dual-mode wireless communication network; each robot node establishes a dynamic self-organizing network, uses WiFi to achieve high-speed data interaction, and at the same time maintains precise synchronization between near-field devices through Bluetooth, autonomously coordinates movement trajectories, ensures that the target area is blocked within 30 seconds, avoids path conflicts, implements traffic control in a timely manner, and reduces the safety hazards and economic losses that landslides may cause.

[0068] This invention presents a slope disease early warning and traffic control system based on intelligent road cone robots, constructing a closed-loop control system covering the entire process of "monitoring-decision-execution". The system utilizes a distributed cluster of intelligent road cone robots, integrating multi-source sensor data to achieve real-time monitoring of slope conditions. Relying on an intelligent decision-making mechanism combining edge computing and cloud collaboration, it rapidly generates optimal control plans when risks are detected. Furthermore, the road cone robots autonomously and collaboratively complete the precise deployment of traffic control facilities, significantly reducing the time required for traditional manual intervention. This greatly improves the timeliness and accuracy of slope disaster early warning, effectively reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by slope instability, and providing an innovative solution for the intelligent management and maintenance of highway infrastructure.
