Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent connected vehicles and cyber-physical systems (IVCPS), specifically relating to a vehicle-cloud hierarchical decoupling and cooperative control method and system based on a gravity-repulsion model. Background Technology
[0002] As intelligent connected vehicles, vehicle-road cooperative systems, and cyber-physical systems (IVCPS) continue to develop towards greater complexity and dynamism, IVCPS is no longer a simple superposition of single perception, single decision-making, or single control functions. Instead, it is gradually evolving into a complex functional system involving the coupling of multiple links such as environmental perception, state representation, path planning, speed guidance, behavior control, and execution feedback.
[0003] In dynamic traffic scenarios, vehicle operation is simultaneously affected by multiple factors such as road network topology, traffic signals, surrounding vehicles, road capacity, and task objectives. There are significant differences in time scale, information expression, and control granularity among different functional modules, which poses a great challenge to the organization, integration, and coordination of complex IVCPS functions.
[0004] Most existing research focuses on a single problem in path planning, longitudinal control, lateral lane changing, or signal coordination, lacking a unified approach that systematically analyzes the distribution, hierarchical relationships, and cross-domain integration patterns of complex functional modules from the perspective of the IVCPS multidimensional architecture. On the one hand, traffic signal status, preceding vehicle information, adjacent lane information, vehicle status, and road network information in dynamic scenarios are often heterogeneous in origin and dispersed in expression, making it difficult to form a standardized perception information state. This leads to inconsistent interfaces between upper-level decision-making and lower-level control, and poor module reusability. On the other hand, path decision-making, vehicle control, and speed guidance often adopt a serial splicing approach, lacking a layered decoupling mechanism oriented towards dynamic demand characteristics. This makes it difficult to reflect the collaborative patterns of IVCPS at different functional layers and to support the cross-domain integration design of basic functions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-cloud hierarchical decoupling and collaborative control method and system based on a gravity-repulsion model, which aims to solve the problems of high module coupling, inconsistent information expression, and difficulty in cross-domain integration in the existing complex function collaboration of IVCPS.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A vehicle-cloud hierarchical decoupling and cooperative control method based on a gravity-repulsion model includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Standardization of Perception Information: Traffic signal status, distance to the vehicle in front, information of vehicles in adjacent lanes, vehicle operating status, road network topology and control output are uniformly abstracted into standardized digital objects to establish a unified information expression mechanism for IVCPS;
[0009] S2. Multi-layer collaborative architecture construction: Construct a multi-layer collaborative architecture of "path decision-speed guidance-vehicle control-execution feedback", with functions divided into "perception information state layer-path decision layer-speed guidance layer-lane change control layer-execution feedback layer".

[0014] S5. Cross-domain integrated verification: Integrate road network information, traffic facility information, vehicle operating status, control logic and simulation execution environment into the same digital closed loop, and establish mapping relationships and collaborative mechanisms between the perception domain, decision domain, control domain and execution domain.
[0015] Furthermore, the gravity model The calculation formula is:
[0016]
[0017] In the formula, For the current road section The shortest path distance to the destination. As a candidate for the next road segment The shortest path distance to the destination. and All were obtained through preprocessing using the inverse Dijkstra algorithm; This is expressed as the safe average speed for the next road segment;
[0018]
[0019] In the formula, This represents the current real-time average speed. The maximum speed limit for the road.

[0035] 2. Significantly improved driving smoothness: The algorithm directly penalizes vehicles in queues on road sections, preventing vehicles from entering poor road conditions with frequent stops and starts. This can significantly reduce the number of stops along the way, reducing energy consumption and mechanical wear.

Enhanced Module Reusability and Interface Standardization: By standardizing the perception information state and unifying the interface model, the problem of heterogeneous information being expressed in a scattered manner is solved, and the reusability of upper-level decision-making and lower-level control modules is improved.
[0038] 5.

[0044] S3. Gravity-Repulsion Path Decision: At each decision point, consider all candidate next path segments. Calculate the overall score The road segment with the highest score is selected as the driving direction. The formula for calculating the overall score is:
[0045]
[0046] In the formula, The attractive force moving towards the endpoint, calculated for the gravity model; The congestion resistance of the road segment calculated using the repulsion model;
[0047] Gravity is used to measure the distance from the current road segment Pass through candidate road sections The gravitational pull towards the endpoint is essentially the spatial gain (an approximation of the time gain) obtainable per unit speed. (Gravity model) The calculation formula is:

As a candidate for the next road segment The shortest path distance to the destination. and All were obtained through preprocessing using the inverse Dijkstra algorithm; This is expressed as the safe average speed for the next road segment;

Cross-domain integrated verification: Integrate road network information, traffic facility information, vehicle operating status, control logic and simulation execution environment into the same digital closed loop, and establish mapping relationships and collaborative mechanisms between the perception domain, decision domain, control domain and execution domain.
[0062] Collaborative control execution process:
[0063] Preprocessing stage: When the system starts, a directed graph of the road network is constructed, and the reverse Dijkstra algorithm is executed with the destination as the source point to calculate the static shortest distance matrix from all nodes to the destination.
[0064] Periodic path replanning (upper layer): During vehicle travel, at set time thresholds... (e.g., 10 seconds) triggers path replanning. The current vehicle location is obtained, the attraction and repulsion forces of all legal downstream candidate road segments are calculated, the highest-scoring road segment is determined, and the vehicle's route is updated.
[0065] High-frequency micro-control (lower layer): During the intervals between replanning cycles, the CAV controller collects environmental data in real time (including the status of traffic lights ahead, distance to the vehicle ahead, and the status of vehicles ahead in the left and right lanes). The speed controller calculates the target acceleration / velocity, and the lane change controller calculates the lane change intention. These commands are then fused and sent to the vehicle execution unit to ensure that the vehicle not only achieves optimal route selection in dynamic traffic flow but also exhibits smooth and conflict-free micro-behavior.

[0071] The innovative aspects of this application can be summarized as follows:
[0072] 1. A standardized decoupling method for perception information in dynamic traffic scenarios is proposed. The project abstracts traffic signal status, distance to the vehicle in front, information of vehicles in adjacent lanes, vehicle operating status, road network topology, and control output into standardized digital objects, establishes a unified information expression mechanism for IVCPS, solves the problems of difficulty in reusing multi-source heterogeneous information and inconsistent module interfaces, and provides a standardized foundation for the layered design of complex functions.
[0073] 2. A multi-layered collaborative architecture of "path decision-making, speed guidance, vehicle control, and execution feedback" is proposed. Unlike traditional methods that separate path planning and control execution, this project starts from the overall system collaboration, incorporating high-level global path decision-making, mid-level local speed guidance and behavior control, and low-level execution feedback into a unified framework. This enables collaborative operation at different time scales and functional granularities, reflecting the hierarchical organizational characteristics of IVCPS's complex functions.
[0074] 3. A layered decoupling method for complex functions based on a functional digital model is proposed. Instead of implementing system functions by stacking algorithms, the project divides functions into "perception information layer - path decision layer - speed guidance layer - lane change control layer - execution feedback layer". This allows upper-layer task decision-making and lower-layer control execution to be coupled collaboratively through standard interfaces, forming clear inter-layer relationships and decoupling logic, which can effectively support the expansion, replacement and reconstruction of complex functions.
[0075] 4. A collaborative mechanism for path selection and local control oriented towards dynamic demand characteristics is proposed. At the global path layer, the project adopts the gravity-repulsion coupling concept, incorporating destination approach benefits, real-time congestion status, parking penalties, and forward traffic conditions into path evaluation; at the local control layer, traffic light status, preceding vehicle constraints, adjacent lane gaps, and lane change benefits are comprehensively considered, achieving collaborative optimization between global accessibility and local operational efficiency.
[0076] 5. A cross-domain integration design concept for IVCPS basic functions is proposed. The project integrates road network information, traffic facility information, vehicle operating status, control logic, and simulation execution environment into the same digital closed loop, and establishes the mapping relationship and coordination mechanism between the perception domain, decision domain, control domain, and execution domain, providing an achievable and verifiable technical path for the cross-domain integration of IVCPS basic functions.
[0077] 6. Develop a collaborative verification prototype for complex dynamic scenarios. The project utilizes a simulation environment to achieve closed-loop operation of the entire process, including path replanning, speed adjustment, lane change execution, and effect evaluation. This not only verifies the effectiveness of the multi-layered collaborative mechanism but also provides experimental basis for subsequent design of complex IVCPS functional architecture, algorithm iteration, and system optimization.
