[0019] The application provides a lane-level management and control method and device based on a tunnel vehicle connection algorithm to reduce the probability of accidents in the tunnel.

[0020] The technical solutions of the application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0021] As shown in the flowchart of the lane-level management and control method based on a tunnel vehicle connection algorithm provided by the application, the flowchart can include the following steps: Figure 1 Step S101, acquiring a plurality of cross-section collection data through a front-end perception device in a target tunnel, and performing feature transmission on each vehicle in the cross-section collection data to determine the running data of each vehicle.

[0022] In this embodiment, the cross-section collection data is used to represent the static features of the vehicle, such as license plate number, vehicle color, vehicle model, vehicle shape, size, etc., for identifying the same vehicle in different cross-section collection data. The running data is used to represent the dynamic features of the vehicle in driving, such as vehicle speed, vehicle distance (including adjacent vehicle distance, front and rear vehicle distance, and distance from the adjacent lane, etc.), vehicle distance change rate, vehicle density, etc., for judging the current road conditions.

[0023] The front-end perception device can be a high-definition camera, and a high-definition camera can be installed at a fixed distance, such as 500 meters, to collect a plurality of cross-section collection data. After collection, the data is pre-processed, such as cleaning, completion and deduplication, etc. After removing invalid data, the cross-section collection data is sorted in time sequence.​

[0024] The process of determining the running data through feature transfer is as follows: When the vehicle passes through the first section, the system creates an independent ID and trajectory file for the vehicle according to its features, and then transfers and associates the identity ID of the vehicle through a real-time feature matching algorithm at the downstream section, thereby seamlessly integrating the passing time, speed, position and other information of the vehicle at each section, and finally constructing the complete running data of each vehicle in the whole tunnel range, and temporarily storing the running data in the computing memory, preparing for the subsequent data fusion and extraction link.

[0025] In another embodiment, the feature transfer is performed on each vehicle in the section collection data to determine the running data of each vehicle, including: For any target vehicle, license plate matching is performed on the section collection data according to the license plate information of the target vehicle to obtain target data of the target vehicle in the section collection data; The fusion frame data of the target vehicle is determined through the target data, and the running data of the target vehicle is determined according to the fusion frame data.

[0026] In this embodiment, the license plate number is taken as the identification mark, and the license plate recognition method can adopt the extraction logic based on contour detection + character segmentation. First, the Canny edge detection is used to locate the license plate area, and then the projection method is used to segment the characters, and the output is unified as the UTF-8 encoding format of “provincial abbreviation (2 characters) + letter / number (5-6 characters)”, and the invalid characters are automatically replaced with “*”. Then, the license plate full match operation is performed, that is, the license plate number is completely matched to identify the same vehicle, so as to obtain the target data of the same vehicle in the section collection data, such as vehicle image, spatial coordinates, time stamp, etc. Then, the sections are associated and fused under the unified time and space reference to generate a “fusion frame data” that can continuously describe the complete tunnel journey of the vehicle; finally, based on the fusion data, the displacement and time difference of the vehicle between different sections are calculated, and the key running data such as interval average speed, travel time and acceleration can be accurately analyzed. The specific method of identifying and determining the target data of the same vehicle in the section collection data is described in detail below.

[0027] In another embodiment, the feature transfer is performed on each vehicle in the section collection data to determine the running data of each vehicle, including: For any target vehicle, feature matching is performed on the section collection data according to the feature information of the target vehicle to obtain target data of the target vehicle in the section collection data; The fusion frame data of the target vehicle is determined according to the target data, and the operation data of the target vehicle is determined according to the fusion frame data.

[0028] The embodiment takes the characteristic information of the vehicle, such as the vehicle model, the vehicle body color, and the vehicle size, as the identification mark, and the specific identification method is as follows: 1. Vehicle head feature: key feature points are extracted by SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm to generate 128-dimensional feature vectors, and the vectors are normalized to the interval [0, 1] to ensure that the feature vectors of different vehicles can be compared.

[0029] 2. Vehicle brand: based on a pre-trained ResNet-18 convolutional neural network, input the vehicle head cropped image (size 224x224), output the brand probability distribution (such as "BMW: 0.92, Mercedes-Benz: 0.05") through the fully connected layer, take the brand with probability ≥0.8 as the standardized result, otherwise mark it as "unknown".

[0030] 3. Vehicle color: convert the RGB image to HSV color domain, count the H channel (hue) distribution, match the preset standard color threshold (such as black: H 0-180, S 0-255, V 0-40; red: H 0-10 or 160-180, S 40-255, V 40-255), output the unique standard color (black / white / red / blue / silver gray / other).

[0031] For the collected characteristic information, it can also be optimized. For example, a sliding window filter can be used to smooth the collected instantaneous speed and eliminate interference. The output unit is unified as "km / h", and the first decimal place is retained. If the deviation of the collected speed is >20km / h for 3 consecutive times (the tunnel speed limit is usually ≤80km / h), it is marked as "abnormal speed" and does not participate in matching.

[0032] The abnormal values in the characteristic information can also be detected and then deleted, and the specific method is as follows: License plate: character length ≠7 (small car) or ≠8 (large car), contains 3 or more identical characters (such as "JingAAAAAA"), directly excluded; Vehicle head feature: SIFT feature point number <30 (judged as image blur), excluded; Speed: >100km / h (exceeds the normal tunnel speed limit) or <5km / h (judged as congestion and stagnation), excluded; Timestamp: the collection time difference of the same vehicle in the same section is >1s (judged as repeated collection), and the first collected data is retained.

[0033] Then, the feature matching operation is performed on the feature information of the vehicle to obtain target data of the same vehicle in the data collected at each section, and then the sections are associated and fused under a unified space-time reference to generate a "fusion frame data" capable of continuously describing the complete tunnel journey of the vehicle. Finally, based on the fusion data, the displacement and time difference of the vehicle between different sections are calculated to accurately analyze the interval average speed, travel time, acceleration and other key operation data of the vehicle.

[0034] In another embodiment, the feature transfer of each vehicle in the section data is performed to determine the operation data of each vehicle, including: For any target vehicle, when the license plate information of the target vehicle cannot be determined, the feature matching operation is performed on the feature information of the target vehicle from the data collected at each section to obtain target data of the target vehicle in the data collected at each section. The fusion frame data of the target vehicle is determined through the target data, and the operation data of the target vehicle is determined according to the fusion frame data.

[0035] In this embodiment, the license plate number is first used as an identification mark, and the feature information recognition matching is performed again for the vehicle whose license plate cannot be recognized, so as to further improve the accuracy of vehicle identification. Further, if the vehicle cannot be identified through the feature information, a mixed matching can also be performed in combination with multiple identification dimensions. For example, the vehicle brand can be identified based on a pre-trained ResNet-18 convolutional neural network, and a cropped image (size 224x224) of the vehicle head is input. The brand probability distribution (such as "BMW: 0.92, Mercedes-Benz: 0.05") is output through a fully connected layer. The brand with a probability ≥0.8 is taken as a standardized result, otherwise it is marked as "unknown".

[0036] In the above several embodiments, the accurate matching of the vehicle identity is realized through "feature weight distribution + voting screening + score determination", and the specific weight distribution is set as shown in the following table.

[0037] Feature Type Weight (points) Weight Basis (technical level) License Plate Information 40 The strongest anti-interference ability (even if partially obscured, it can still be restored by character segmentation), the highest matching priority Vehicle Head Feature 25 Core supplementary feature when license plate is invalid (completely obscured, dirty) Vehicle Brand 20 Pre-trained CNN model recognition accuracy ≥ 88% (tunnel low light scene), can quickly narrow down the matching range (such as first screening "BMW" brand vehicles) Vehicle Color 10 HSV color domain matching accuracy ≥ 95%, but similar colors (such as dark blue / light blue) are easily confused, anti-interference ability is weak, weight is low Vehicle Speed Data 5 Tunnel vehicle speed fluctuation is small (within ±8km / h, accounting for 90%), only as an auxiliary verification feature, not alone to determine the matching result Then, 1 independent voting unit is set for each feature dimension. If the matching threshold is met, 1 vote is counted, otherwise 0 votes are counted. The matching threshold is set as shown in the following table: Feature Type Matching Threshold (voting standard) Technical Implementation Details License Plate Information Complete matching (characters are completely consistent) or partial matching (edit distance ≤1, such as "Jing A12345" and "Jing A12346") Use edit distance algorithm to calculate character difference, edit distance = replacement / insertion / deletion operation times Vehicle Head Feature SIFT feature vector similarity ≥ 0.75 (cosine similarity) Calculate feature vector similarity through OpenCV's FlannBasedMatcher, threshold 0.75 is the optimal value (missed matching rate <3%) Vehicle Brand Identical identification results (such as "BMW 3 Series") Brand identification results contain vehicle model subdivision (pre-trained model output subdivision vehicle model), ensure matching accuracy Vehicle Color Standard color consistent or similar color (such as dark blue and light blue, HSV color domain H channel deviation ≤10°) Calculate the H channel difference between the two colors, ≤10° is considered similar color Vehicle Speed Data Deviation from the speed of the last section ≤10km / h Speed deviation comparison Then, the voting result screening is performed: if the total number of votes ≥3 (that is, at least 3 of the 5 features meet the matching threshold), it is determined as a "preliminary matching candidate set" and enters the score link; if the number of votes <3, the candidate vehicle is directly excluded.

[0038] Finally, the score is determined based on the weighted sum of feature weights, with the formula: Total Score = Σ (Feature Weight x Feature Score Coefficient), where the "Feature Score Coefficient" is set according to the matching degree (perfect match = 1, partial match = 0.25-0.5, no match = 0), and the specific coefficients are shown in the following table: Feature Type Complete matching coefficient Partial matching coefficient Non-matching coefficient License Plate Information 1 (40 points) 0.25 (10 points) 0 (0 points) Vehicle Head Feature 1 (25 points) 0.4 (10 points) 0 (0 points) Vehicle Brand 1 (20 points) 0 (0 points) 0 (0 points) Vehicle Color 1 (10 points) 0.5 (5 points) 0 (0 points) Vehicle Speed Data 1 (5 points) 0 (0 points) 0 (0 points) If the total score is ≥ 70 points (i.e., the matching degree is ≥ 70%), it is confirmed that the current section vehicle identity is consistent with the previous section transmitted identity; if the score is 60-69 points, it enters "secondary verification" (re-extract the vehicle head features, increase the number of feature points to more than 50 for matching); if the score is < 60 points, exclude the candidate and re-search the matching candidate set (if there is no candidate, mark it as a "newly entered vehicle" and assign a temporary identity ID).

[0039] After identifying the vehicles in each section data, the continuous transmission process of the same vehicle between different sections is as follows: First, based on the physical model of "vehicle speed - distance - time", the time range of the vehicle arriving at the next section can be accurately determined, with the formula T = [t_prev + (d / (v_prev + Δv)), t_prev + (d / (v_prev - Δv))], where t_prev: the vehicle passing time stamp of the previous section (millisecond level), d: the actual distance between the two sections (calibrated by laser range finder, error ≤ 0.5 meters), v_prev: the instantaneous vehicle speed of the previous section (filtered value of the sliding window), Δv: vehicle speed fluctuation redundancy (take 5km / h, based on the fluctuation standard deviation statistics of 100,000 vehicle speed samples in the tunnel). Further, the above data can be corrected by the slope in the tunnel, if there is a slope in the tunnel (> 5°), the slope correction coefficient (3km / h reduction for uphill, 2km / h increase for downhill) is added to v_prev to avoid time window deviation.

[0040] Then the vehicle is connected, and after the next section device collects data, the vehicle data in the "time window" (timestamp within T range) is first screened. For vehicles within this range, "voting + scoring" matching is performed one by one (same as single-section logic). The vehicle with the highest score and ≥70 points is associated with the last section identity ID, the section_info (section number, passing time, and distance from the next section) is updated, and a new identity data packet is generated and passed to the next section. When there are multiple candidate vehicles within the time window, the IOU (intersection over union) of the bounding box of the vehicle in the last section and the bounding box of the candidate vehicle in the current section is calculated, and the IOU≥0.3 is preferentially matched. For candidate vehicles that meet the IOU standard, the total feature score is sorted in descending order, and the highest score is taken as the matching result.

[0041] Further, the present embodiment can also retrieve interrupted vehicles. First, the method for interrupt determination is: if the matching scores of two consecutive sections are <60 points, it is marked as "tracking interruption". For interrupted vehicles, "feature similarity≥0.6" vehicles are continuously searched within the next 3 sections, and if a vehicle with a score≥65 points is found, the identity association is restored; if it is not found after 3 sections, it is marked as "tracking termination" and the interruption position is recorded.

[0042] In step S102, the collision risk, lane changing probability of each vehicle, and the traffic state of each lane are determined through the running data, and the collision risk, lane changing probability, and traffic state are fused to obtain multi-dimensional fusion data in the target tunnel.

[0043] In the present embodiment, historical running data can be determined through historical section data collection in the target tunnel, and then the risk warning model, behavior prediction model, and traffic state evaluation model are trained respectively through the historical running data. The trained risk warning model outputs the collision risk of each vehicle; the trained behavior prediction model outputs the lane changing probability of each vehicle; and the trained traffic state evaluation model outputs the traffic state of each lane. The collision risk can be a probability value between low, medium, high, or 0 to 1, and the traffic state can be smooth, slow, congested, etc.

[0044] The collision risk level, lane changing probability of each vehicle, and traffic state of each lane are further spatio-temporally aligned and associatedly integrated through a preset data fusion algorithm, such as weighted fusion or rule-based reasoning engine. For example, a vehicle with high collision risk and high lane changing probability is superimposed with the state information of the "congested" lane it is in, thereby generating a multi-dimensional fusion data view that can reflect both individual vehicle risk and overall traffic flow status, ultimately providing a comprehensive and three-dimensional decision basis for tunnel management.

[0045] In another embodiment, the determining, by the operation data, the collision risk of each vehicle, the lane-changing probability of each vehicle, and the traffic state of each lane comprises: determining, by the operation data, collision prediction data, and determining, by the collision prediction data, the collision risk level of each vehicle, thereby determining the corresponding collision risk; determining, by the operation data, lane-changing prediction data, and determining, by the lane-changing prediction data, the lane-changing probability of each vehicle; determining, by the operation data, lane state data, and determining, by the lane state data, the traffic state of each lane, wherein the lane state data comprises vehicle distance, vehicle density, and average vehicle speed.

[0046] In this embodiment, for the collision risk, the vehicle distance, relative speed, and vehicle distance change rate between the front and rear adjacent vehicles in the same lane of the certain vehicle are calculated in real time by the operation data of the certain vehicle to form key collision prediction data. When the vehicle distance is lower than a safety threshold, the relative speed is too high, and the vehicle distance is rapidly decreasing, the system determines that the collision risk level is rising, and accordingly, the risk level of the vehicle is divided into different levels such as no risk, low risk, medium risk, and high risk, thereby accurately determining the real-time collision risk of each vehicle.

[0047] For the lane-changing probability, the lane-changing prediction data is generated by the operation data of the certain vehicle, especially the trend of the lateral position change (such as whether continuously approaching a certain side lane line) of the certain vehicle relative to the lane line and the real-time vehicle distance with the front and rear vehicles in the adjacent lane. When the certain vehicle is steadily moving laterally and the target adjacent lane has sufficient safe vehicle distance, the lane-changing probability of the certain vehicle is determined to be high. Conversely, if the lateral movement hesitates or the target lane distance is insufficient, the lane-changing probability is determined to be low, thereby realizing accurate quantification and prediction of the lane-changing intention of the vehicle.

[0048] For the lane state data, the average vehicle distance, vehicle density (number of vehicles per unit length), and average vehicle speed of each lane are calculated in real time based on the operation data of all vehicles in the lane to form lane state data representing the macro state of the lane. Subsequently, the system comprehensively judges these indicators according to the preset threshold rules or machine learning model: if the average vehicle speed is high, the vehicle density is low, and the vehicle distance is large, the lane is determined to be in a "smooth" state; if the average vehicle speed significantly decreases, the vehicle density increases, and the vehicle distance decreases, the lane is determined to be in a "congestion" state; if the vehicle density is extremely high, the average vehicle speed is close to zero, and the vehicle distance is extremely small, the lane is determined to be in a "blockage" state, thereby accurately distinguishing the real-time traffic state of each lane.

[0049] Step S103, determining a management and control strategy of each lane in the target tunnel through the multi-dimensional fused data, and indicating the vehicle in the target tunnel according to the management and control strategy.

[0050] In the embodiment, the tunnel interior can be grouped horizontally and vertically through the fine management and control of "partition, segmentation, and lane", and the corresponding management and control strategy is generated according to the grouped lanes. The specific process is as follows: For vertical grouping, linear accurate positioning can be based on "post number".

[0051] Precise coordinates: the precise "linear coordinates" are given to each event and each device by using the milepost number in the tunnel. This is the spatial reference of all control instructions.

[0052] Dynamic segmentation: the control strategy is no longer limited to fixed partition, but can be more flexible "dynamic segmentation" according to the post number. For example, in a 150-meter control area, the 50 meters from K100+50 to K101+00 can be accurately divided into the core control area according to the event influence range.

[0053] Cascade control: based on the post number sequence, the smooth transition of control measures is realized. For example, the content of the variable information sign can be changed step by step according to the post number (such as: K101 prompts "accident ahead", K100+500 prompts "left lane closed", and K100+200 prompts "please change to the right lane") upstream of the accident point, guiding the smooth transition of traffic flow.

[0054] For horizontal grouping, the fine management and control dimension based on "lane" is used. Specifically, it includes: Lane as the smallest control unit: each lane is regarded as an independent control resource, which can be opened, closed, speed limited, and induced independently.

[0055] Dynamic lane function: according to the characteristics of traffic flow and tides or sudden events, the lane function is dynamically changed. For example, one opposite lane is changed to a tidal lane during the morning peak period, or one small passenger car lane is temporarily changed to an emergency repair passage after a large truck accident.

[0056] Lane-level driving environment adjustment: the environment of different lanes is adjusted independently according to the state of the lanes. For example, the lighting brightness is reduced in the closed lane to save energy, and the independent strong smoke exhaust mode is started in the lane where the fire occurs.

[0057] After grouping and generating the corresponding strategy, each device in the tunnel is controlled to execute the instructions, and the instruction execution process is as follows: Traffic signal: execute the most direct lane opening / closing instruction. Adopt red / green / yellow (warning) three-color signal, clearly display on the lane, combined with sound and light alarm, force standardize driver behavior.

[0058] Variable message sign: Global induction: before the tunnel entrance, prompt the overall road condition and regulation information in the tunnel.

[0059] Zoning preview: at the starting point of each zone in the tunnel, preview the lane opening / closing state and speed limit value of the front zone.

[0060] Lane-level indication: dynamically display the arrow (straight, left turn, right turn), speed limit (60, 40, prohibited passage) of the lane on the lane, realize the most precise guidance.

[0061] Broadcast system: Zoning broadcast: realize "sound source zoning following", warning or guidance information is only played in the event-related zone and upstream zone, avoid interference to irrelevant areas.

[0062] Directional broadcast: use phased array speaker technology, can perform "sound beam" directional broadcast to specific lanes, for example, only to the queuing lane for pacification and prompt, do not affect the driving environment of the adjacent smooth lane.

[0063] Through the above execution units such as traffic signal, variable message sign, broadcast system, clear lane use, speed control and path guidance instructions can be issued to the driver, so as to realize precise traffic induction and safety control.
