Description

Automatic identification method for traffic jam state and jam point position of urban expressway
Technical Field
The invention relates to an automatic identification method for a traffic jam state and a traffic jam position of an urban expressway, which integrates road monitoring, image analysis and traffic state judgment, and belongs to the technical field of traffic jam monitoring.
Background
With the rapid increase of the automobile inventory in cities in China, the traffic jam condition is more serious. The basic reason that the traffic demand is large and the road infrastructure supply is relatively insufficient is inherent, but there are also 'sporadic traffic jams' caused by 'traffic incidents' such as vehicle 'snarling', fault/illegal parking, malicious traffic jams, goods dropping, traffic accidents, and the like.
The regularity and periodicity of the 'sporadic communication congestion' are not as obvious as the 'sporadic communication congestion', so that the 'sporadic communication congestion' is difficult to predict or prevent in advance; meanwhile, a certain proportion of 'sporadic traffic jam' has a small influence range and short duration, and the necessity of management seems to be insufficient, so that the traffic management department is difficult to pay attention to the traffic management department. However, related studies have shown that some seemingly minor traffic events eventually cause a large area of severe traffic congestion due to mishandling or inadequate response. It is seen that it is necessary for traffic management departments to accurately and timely learn the road traffic conditions (especially the traffic jam state and the positions of the traffic jam points).
Traditional urban road traffic congestion monitoring is mainly realized by manual monitoring, emergency calls or induction coil detectors. The manual monitoring efficiency is low, careless omission easily occurs, and the complex road network of a large city is difficult to deal with; the timeliness of the emergency call is poor, and the accuracy of judging the congestion degree is insufficient; the induction coil detector can only monitor partial traffic data, the road surface needs to be damaged when the system is installed, the follow-up maintenance is troublesome, and great use limitation exists. In recent years, with the rapid development of high-definition video information acquisition and transmission technology and big data processing technology, an automatic urban road traffic jam state monitoring technology based on high-definition video is emerging.
The automatic monitoring of the urban road traffic jam state is to rapidly judge the characteristic parameters according to the real-time traffic characteristic parameters, detect the existence of the traffic jam state and perform early warning or alarm on the monitored traffic jam state. The method is beneficial to the traffic management department to take countermeasures in time, and the severity and the influence range of traffic jam are reduced to the maximum extent.
The existing (high definition) video-based automatic monitoring method for the urban road traffic jam state generally sets a threshold value of traffic parameters (such as occupancy, average speed or section traffic volume) at first, and when real-time traffic parameters acquired by a camera exceed the threshold value for a certain time and to a certain extent, judgment and suggestion on the traffic jam level are formed, and an alarm mechanism is triggered.
Because the relationship between the main road traffic parameters is complex, the traffic characteristics (speed and lane change condition) of vehicles running on the road are also very different, and the existing congestion judgment algorithm based on the overall traffic parameters of the monitored road section has great defects. For example, a vehicle breakdown accident occurs inside a road of a (one-way) three-lane urban expressway, and a plurality of vehicles in the lane where the breakdown vehicle is located are queued. Because the speeds of the other two lanes are not greatly influenced, the road section occupancy rate does not change greatly, and the automatic identification method based on the average speed or the road section occupancy rate cannot give out early warning of traffic jam. However, traffic congestion will then develop on that road segment and there is a significant risk of causing secondary accidents. At that time, the system determines that the traffic jam is late.
For another example, when a relatively long road section along a highway in a certain city is jammed in traffic, a plurality of video monitoring systems along the highway can display real-time traffic parameters exceeding a threshold value and send out an alarm. At this point, it becomes a great challenge whether the limited police force should be assigned to which road segments. Once the judgment is wrong, the police force is continuously transferred to control the traffic jam in time. Therefore, a traffic jam judging mechanism for alarming along the line has no great practical significance.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of an implementation of the method for automatically identifying a traffic congestion state and a congestion point position of an urban expressway according to the embodiment, which specifically includes the following steps:
in step S11, historical data is collected or a traffic engineering method is used to set a threshold value of each monitored road segment lane-dividing traffic parameter:
the method for acquiring the traffic parameters of the lane sections of the monitored road section comprises the following steps: average vehicle speed, space occupancy, lane change frequency and direction, and traffic volume within a certain time interval; and performing statistical processing such as classification and denoising on the data according to factors such as the time period, whether the data is in a working day, season and weather, obtaining the threshold value of the traffic parameter of each road section under each subdivision classification, and establishing a historical database. The threshold values for the traffic parameters may be set based on empirical data and theoretical derivations using existing traffic engineering methods before sufficient historical data is collected.
In step S12, collecting images/images of vehicles in the field of view by a high-definition camera disposed beside the monitored road, converting to generate traffic data information of divided lanes, and transmitting the traffic data information of divided lanes to a traffic information processing server;
in step S12, the traffic data information includes the moving speed of the vehicle traveling in the field of view, and in order to find that the traveling speed is significantly lower than the "snail" behavior of most other vehicles, the accident/fault/illegal parking behavior, and the behavior of sudden braking of the vehicle being jammed due to malicious jamming, the target that the traveling speed is significantly lower than other vehicles in the peak period or the traveling speed is significantly lower than the normal traveling speed threshold value in the flat period is searched, the vehicle "snail" speed is determined as follows:
if the vehicle is traveling at a significantly lower speed during peak periods than other vehicles in the camera's field of view or at a flat peak period than the normal travel speed threshold, then:
when Mean-vt>0.4×vDThe method comprises the following steps:
vtk≤α×Mean-vtpeak hours (1)
vtk≤β×vDFlat peak time interval (2)
Considered a "snail" behavior.
Wherein v istkIs the speed of travel of the vehicle k at time t, Mean-vtIs the average speed, v, of the vehicle in the field of view of the camera at time tDFor the designed vehicle speed of the express road segment, α and β are coefficients for controlling the severity of the management, and may be set in combination with a traffic engineering model or the historical data of step S11, in this embodiment, the default values of α and β are 0.8 and 0.7, respectively.
If the average speed of the vehicle within the camera field of view:
Mean-vt≤0.4×vD(3)
the traffic flow is considered to be slowly moving as a whole.
If the road right ahead of the vehicle is unblocked, namely the space occupancy of the road within a distance of 5 meters right ahead is zero, and the running speed of the vehicle is continuously zero within a certain time period, namely:
vtk=v(t+Δtk)=0 (4)
the parking behavior is considered.
The "space occupancy" in the prior art is defined as: at a certain time t, the total length of the vehicles running on the road section accounts for the percentage of the length of the road section, namely the space occupancy (%) Ot(Σ Length-car)/Length-road; in step S12, "space occupancy" in the present embodiment is newly defined as: at a certain time t, the percentage of the total occupied area of the vehicles running on the road section to the total area of the road section, namely the space occupation rate (%) Ot' (Σ Area-car)/Area-road. This is to take into account that, in a very congested road section, the number of vehicle queue may exceed the number of lanes, for example, in a one-way three-lane express way, four vehicle queue may appear, and the space occupancy mentioned in the following of this embodiment is the redefined space occupancy (%) Ot′=(ΣArea-car)/Area-road。
In step S12, the traffic data information further includes "lane change frequency" between adjacent lanes in the field of view or frequency of lateral large movement of the traveling vehicle. When a lane is in:
ΣCmn≥γ×Tm; (5)
frequent lane change behavior is considered to exist.
Wherein: cmnThe number of times that the vehicle changes lane from lane m to adjacent lane N within the time interval delta t, m and N are natural numbers of lane numbers, and m and N are belonged to [1, 2, … … N];ΣCmnThe number of times of changing lanes from lane m to all adjacent lane behaviors; gamma is a coefficient used for controlling the strict degree of monitoring, and the value of gamma is suggested to be 0.8; t ismThe amount of traffic reaching the upstream boundary line for m lanes in a time interval in minutes, where a lane crossing by the vehicle center line is considered to be a lane change, is defined as the number of vehicles traveling across the upstream boundary line of the camera's field of view in m lanes in the time interval Δ t.
In step S13, the traffic information processing server performs congestion status analysis according to the traffic data information, as described below with reference to fig. 3.
In step S14, the analysis results and corresponding suggestions are forwarded to the user terminal according to the user settings. The analysis results include: monitoring the space occupancy of the road section and the corresponding traffic jam level, the possible type of the occurred traffic event, the lane where the traffic event occurs and the road section where the traffic event occurs, wherein the corresponding suggestion comprises the following steps: notifying, warning and punishing the illegal vehicles, sending police force or other support force in time, and notifying or warning the running vehicles on the upstream road section.

According to the information collected by a camera located at a road section, firstly, judging whether a low-speed or parking vehicle is located in a field of view for a long time, wherein the road section comprises a viaduct, a tunnel and a ground floor, the long-time location of the low-speed or parking vehicle in the field of view is defined as that the time of the vehicle which is judged to be low-speed, spiral or stopped in the field of view is greater than a set time threshold, the time threshold is set according to the strict degree of management, and the value range is usually 5-30 seconds:
if some lanes have such vehicles and the vehicle which is most forward in the advancing direction does not reach the downstream boundary line Y of the view field, the fault/illegal parking behavior or the traffic accident is judged to occur, and the traffic accident occurs in the lane (judgment A), and the real-time image/video can be transmitted back for manual analysis.
If some lanes have such vehicles and the vehicle which is most forward in the advancing direction reaches the boundary line Y at the downstream of the visual field, the fault/illegal parking behavior or the traffic accident is judged to occur, and the traffic accident occurs in the downstream direction of the lane (judgment B), and the nearby spherical camera can be guided to turn to the direction for carrying out the illegal behavior or accident confirmation.
If all lanes have low-speed or stop vehicles and the vehicle which is most forward in the advancing direction does not reach the downstream boundary line Y of the view field, the fault/illegal parking behavior or the traffic accident is judged to occur, and the traffic accident seriously affects all the lanes (judgment A), and the real-time image/video is immediately transmitted back for manual analysis.
And if all lanes have low-speed or stopped vehicles and the vehicle which is most ahead in the advancing direction is queued to the downstream boundary line Y of the field of view, judging that the downstream road section has a serious traffic jam state. At the moment, if frequent unidirectional transverse movement or lane change continuously occurs within a certain time range, the occurrence of cargo drop, fault/illegal parking behavior or traffic accidents is judged, and the traffic accidents occur in the downstream direction of the vehicle avoiding the lane (judgment B); if frequent unidirectional lateral movement or lane change does not occur continuously within a certain time range, it is determined that a traffic event occurs far downstream, or that the occurring traffic congestion is not caused by the traffic event but "frequent traffic congestion", that is, it is determined that C. And when B or C is judged, the information collected by the downstream camera is continuously analyzed, for example, the nearby spherical camera is guided to turn to the direction for carrying out violation behaviors or accident confirmation, so as to further determine the specific occurrence position of the traffic incident.
If the vehicle running speed in the field of view is within a reasonable range, but frequent unidirectional transverse movement or lane change continuously occurs within a certain time range, the goods falling, the fault/illegal parking behavior or the traffic accident is judged, the accident occurs in a lane avoided by the vehicle or the downstream direction of the lane, and the real-time image/video can be transmitted back for manual analysis by judging B.
Because the urban expressway has no artificial blocking such as traffic lights, the traffic flow on the urban expressway belongs to continuous traffic flow, the traffic parameters between the upstream and downstream have more direct relation with traffic behaviors, and the traffic parameters acquired by the cameras of the upstream and downstream road sections are related, so that more accurate and timely traffic event information can be acquired.
If the driving speed of the vehicle in the visual field is in a reasonable range, but the space occupancy rate in the working day peak period is obviously lower than the normal level, for example, for the road sections with the space occupancy rate fluctuating between 0.4 and 0.5 in the peak period, the space occupancy rate is continuously lower than 0.3 for 1 minute, the parameter is judged to be obviously lower than the normal level, the normal level refers to the historical database of the step S11 by the threshold value of each road section for value taking, and the vehicle 'snaking', goods falling, fault/illegal parking behaviors or traffic accidents are likely to occur at the upstream of the visual field; if the "space occupancy" is still significantly below normal levels for a period of time, then cargo drops, malfunction/parking violations or traffic accidents are likely to occur upstream of the field of view. At this time, the traffic information acquired by the upstream road section camera can be combined, if the average speed in the field of view of the upstream camera is low and the space occupancy is higher than the threshold value, the road section of the blind area between the two groups of cameras at the traffic incident occurrence point can be judged (judgment D); if the "space occupancy" in the field of view of the upstream camera is also lower than the threshold, then the traffic jam is judged to be still located on the upstream road section before the camera (judgment E), the steps can be repeated to determine the specific occurrence position of the traffic incident occurrence point and guide the nearby spherical camera to turn to the direction for carrying out violation behaviors or accident confirmation.
For the information collected by the camera whose view field is located at the interleaving area, in addition to the above-mentioned judgment criteria, special attention needs to be paid to the "space occupancy" of each lane in the interleaving area, and the interleaving area includes the connection between the main line and the upper and lower/in/out ramps of the plane interleaving area, the viaduct or the tunnel.
If the space occupancy of the inner lane of the main line is low or the vehicle speed is high, and the space occupancy of the outer lane of the main line is high or the vehicle speed is low, and the space occupancy is low or the vehicle speed is high, the values of the space occupancy and the vehicle speed are compared with the values of the historical database in the step S11, then the outer lane or the ramp of the main line is judged to have malicious jamming, fault/illegal parking behavior or traffic accidents (judgment A); if this state continues for a certain time (e.g., more than 30 seconds), it is further determined that malicious congestion, malfunction/illegal parking behavior, or traffic accident has occurred in the outside lane or ramp of the main line (decision a).
In this embodiment, the user can set and adjust the severity of the monitoring and alarm. For example, a threshold value may be set for the length of time that the vehicle is found to be in a low speed or stopped state, and the system will only respond to and analyze the camera field of view for situations where the duration of the low speed or stopped state exceeds the threshold value in order to avoid too frequent alarms and manual intervention.
