Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent transportation and vehicle networking communication, and in particular to a vehicle trajectory prediction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of 5G and the upcoming 6G communication technology, the wireless communication capability, data transmission rate and network intelligence level have been significantly improved, which has promoted the emergence and innovation of various emerging application scenarios. Among them, the automatic driving technology is one of the typical high-bandwidth, high-reliability and low-latency application scenarios, and its development level directly reflects the overall capability of vehicle networking and intelligent transportation system. The core goal of automatic driving is to realize the running capability of vehicles in a complex and variable traffic environment with safe, efficient, intelligent and autonomous decision-making. Therefore, vehicles not only need to have their own perception, decision-making and control functions, but also need to interact with the surrounding environment in real time through multi-level communication networks. The vehicle networking (V2X) system is an important support for this goal, which includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-roadside unit (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) and vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication modes, and realizes efficient use and intelligent scheduling of global traffic information through data sharing and collaborative decision-making.

[0003] However, vehicle trajectory prediction in complex traffic scenarios still faces multiple challenges. First, the traffic environment has high dynamicity and uncertainty, and vehicle behavior is affected by driving intention, road structure, signal control, surrounding vehicle state and other factors, making the trajectory prediction problem present obvious nonlinear characteristics. Second, although traditional deep learning methods can model the time sequence of vehicle motion trajectories, they mostly only focus on the historical data of the target vehicle itself, lacking the ability to deeply understand and model the semantic information of the surrounding environment. When the surrounding traffic state changes, the trajectory prediction model often cannot respond in time, resulting in a decrease in prediction accuracy and stability. In addition, the traditional communication system in vehicle networking mainly focuses on bit-level accuracy in information transmission, that is, how to accurately transmit data packets in a noisy channel, ignoring the "meaning" carried by the data. In a complex automatic driving environment, vehicles exchange not only data, but also context semantics and environmental understanding directly related to driving decision-making. If the communication system only targets bit accuracy and ignores the information value at the semantic level, it will waste communication resources, limit the understanding ability of intelligent agents to the environment, and affect the effectiveness of trajectory prediction.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vehicle trajectory prediction method to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0023] As Figs. 1-3 shown, a vehicle trajectory prediction method comprises:

[0024] S1, feature extraction Agent.

[0025] In V2I, considering that the surrounding environment information will affect the accuracy of vehicle trajectory prediction, the application extracts the traffic environment information in the communication range of RSU, extracts the core feature information that can reflect the road state, traffic distribution and traffic dynamics, and through the extraction of these global environmental features, the system can fully utilize the change information of the surrounding vehicles and road conditions in the prediction stage, thereby enhancing the sensitivity and adaptability of trajectory prediction to the external environment.

[0026] In V2V, in order to fully understand the vehicle trajectory information, the application extracts the information of the target vehicle itself to assist in predicting the future trajectory of the vehicle itself; the feature extraction Agent first loads the historical trajectory information of the vehicle, and screens out key features therefrom, including the spatiotemporal dynamic features of the vehicle motion state, the statistical features representing the trajectory distribution characteristics, and the behavior intention features representing the vehicle in the road environment.

[0027] S2, semantic analysis Agent

[0028] In V2I, in order to fully understand the surrounding environment information, the application introduces a semantic analysis Agent. The semantic analysis Agent performs semantic layer analysis on the vehicle trajectory features in the communication range of RSU, and its core task is to understand the dynamic relationship between vehicles, the interaction intention and the semantic features of the overall traffic state from the global traffic perspective; in this way, the system can extract representative semantic information from group traffic behavior to provide semantic support for subsequent trajectory prediction. This process not only focuses on the motion change of a single vehicle, but also comprehensively considers the spatial correlation and behavior mode between vehicles, thereby realizing global semantic reasoning with more context understanding ability in the prediction stage.

[0029] In V2V, the semantic analysis Agent mainly faces the feature data of the target vehicle itself. By analyzing the historical trajectory features and adjacent vehicle behavior information, the semantic analysis Agent can understand the driving tendency, potential intention and behavior change law of the vehicle under different environmental conditions. Through this semantic layer behavior understanding, the system can more accurately grasp the potential decision trend of the target vehicle under the current traffic state, and provide fine-grained semantic input for trajectory prediction.

[0030] S3, semantic communication

[0031] In the communication between RSU and vehicle system, semantic transmission is adopted between RSU and vehicle. RSU extracts features of global traffic environment information by using feature extraction Agent, and performs upper and lower semantic reasoning and analysis on the feature extraction result by using semantic analysis Agent. The feature extraction result and the semantic analysis result are subjected to semantic encoding by a semantic encoder, and the semantic encoding result is subjected to channel encoding by a channel encoder, and is transmitted to the vehicle end through a wireless channel. After receiving the signal, the vehicle obtains the semantic encoding information through a channel decoder, and decodes and reconstructs the received decoded semantic encoding information by using a semantic decoder, and finally restores the global environment state information with clear semantic meaning, thereby providing auxiliary information for trajectory prediction.

[0032] In the communication between vehicles, semantic communication is adopted between vehicles, and the prediction result of the adjacent vehicle is transmitted to the target vehicle itself through semantic transmission. The target vehicle itself predicts the future trajectory information of the target vehicle itself by using the prediction result and the feature extraction result and the semantic analysis result of its own information. Specifically, after receiving the information transmitted by the adjacent vehicle, the target vehicle itself first decodes the information by using a channel decoder, and then decodes and reconstructs the channel decoded information by using a semantic decoder, and finally restores the trajectory information with clear semantic meaning. The target vehicle itself extracts features of its own information by using a feature extraction Agent, and performs upper and lower semantic reasoning and analysis on the feature extraction result by using a semantic analysis Agent. The target vehicle itself predicts the trajectory of the target vehicle itself by using the obtained feature extraction result, semantic analysis result and received trajectory information. After obtaining the prediction result, the target vehicle itself transmits the prediction result to the adjacent vehicle through semantic communication. The semantic communication system adopted in this part is consistent with V2I.

[0033] In order to reduce semantic distortion in the process of wireless transmission, the semantic encoding is performed by a semantic encoder , and the semantic encoding process can be represented as

[0034]

[0035] wherein, is the original vector to be transmitted, is the semantic encoding, is the bandwidth ratio of the channel, is the parameter of the semantic encoder .

[0036] When transmitted in a wireless fading channel, the complex vector will be affected by transmission loss including distortion and noise. The process can be represented as

[0037]

[0038] wherein, is the received complex vector, is the channel gain between the transmitter and the receiver, is the additive white Gaussian noise.

[0039] The semantic decoder receives the vector and reconstructs it, which can be represented as

[0040]

[0041] wherein, is the semantic decoder, is the parameter of the semantic decoder .

[0042] S3, Trajectory Prediction Agent

[0043] In V2I, in order to improve the prediction accuracy, the trajectory prediction agent uses the historical trajectory information of the vehicle itself, the feature extraction result and the global semantic analysis result to predict the future trajectory of the target vehicle. This process considers many factors such as traffic environment, surrounding vehicle behavior and road conditions, so that the prediction result can reflect the dynamic change trend of the vehicle in the overall traffic environment. By introducing environmental semantic information, the system can realize the transition from single vehicle behavior prediction to trajectory reasoning based on scene understanding, thereby improving the adaptability and accuracy of trajectory change in complex traffic state.

[0044] In V2V, the trajectory prediction agent analyzes the target vehicle's own historical trajectory and semantic information, and uses the predicted future trajectory of the adjacent vehicles within the communication range to realize collaborative prediction. This design fully considers the interaction between adjacent vehicles, so that the system can dynamically adjust the response strategy to the behavior of surrounding vehicles in the prediction process. Through this collaborative prediction mechanism, the system can more comprehensively understand the potential behavior relationship between vehicles, significantly improving the consistency and stability of trajectory prediction in complex traffic interaction scenarios.

[0045] This method introduces a multi-agent collaborative mechanism, designs a multi-functional agent system including feature extraction agent, semantic analysis agent and trajectory prediction agent, and realizes efficient trajectory prediction in complex traffic scenarios through task decomposition and collaborative optimization. At the same time, the invention combines semantic communication technology with multi-agent mechanism to realize semantic-level information transmission in the process of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-road cooperative communication, thereby improving the information transmission efficiency and understanding accuracy. Through collaborative reasoning and semantic sharing between agents, vehicles can accurately obtain the trend of changes in the surrounding environment under low-latency communication conditions, and realize high-precision prediction of future trajectory.

[0046] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, can also make a number of improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
