The application belongs to the technical field of intelligent transportation, and particularly relates to a highway traffic state discrimination method based on vehicle-level
macro and micro evaluation. First,
millimeter wave radar data of a target section in a target period is acquired, and the
millimeter wave radar data is preprocessed. Then, evaluation indexes are calculated according to the
millimeter wave radar data, including two types of indexes, i.e., micro and
macro indexes. The correlation between the indexes is tested, and some indexes with strong correlation are removed, so as to obtain micro indexes including vehicle
yaw angle variance, lane changing behavior frequency, vehicle head time interval variance, acceleration variance and aggressive driving behavior variation index variance.
Macro indexes include average flow, speed variation coefficient, large vehicle mixing rate and congestion index. Finally, based on the
macro and micro evaluation indexes, traffic
state entropy values of each section in the target period of the target section are calculated, and the traffic state is classified according to the traffic
state entropy values. The method proposes the aggressive driving behavior variation index for measuring the risk degree of vehicles caused by sudden acceleration, deceleration or too fast driving speed, so as to more carefully reflect the traffic state from the micro aspect, and simultaneously consider the
mutual influence between the sections to accurately quantify the traffic state.
