Background

In the related art, a travel path includes at least two travel sections; for example, when the server acquires the traffic information of the travel route, the server constructs a route table of the travel route a and a route table of the travel route b, and stores a split travel route of the travel route a in the route table of the travel route a. For example, the route list for travel segment a includes a-b, i.e., travel segment a subsequently traverses travel segment b. The route list of the travel section b comprises b-c, namely the travel section b passes through the travel section c subsequently.

And then acquiring the comprehensive flow direction road condition of the driving road section a in the driving path and the shunting flow direction road condition information of the driving road section a. For example, the diversion path information of the traveling section a comprises diversion road condition information of a-b and diversion road condition information of a-d. The server inquires whether the driving road section a passes b and d subsequently from the route table of the driving road section a; and if the query result shows that the driving road section a subsequently passes through the driving road section b and does not pass through the driving road section d, the server determines the road condition information of the driving road section a according to the comprehensive flow direction road condition information of the driving road section a and the flow direction road condition information of the a-b. And then determining the road condition information of the driving road section b through the same processing process, and then determining the road condition information of the driving path according to the road condition information of the driving road sections a and b.

In this step, the second travel path includes at least a start point link and an end point link. Accordingly, the step may include: the server performs reverse path traversal in the first driving path from the last road section of the first driving path, and determines at least one group of road sections from the first driving path, wherein any group of road sections comprises a starting point road section and an end point road section; and forming the starting point road section and the terminal point road section in the at least one group of road sections into at least one second driving path.

In one possible implementation, with continued reference to fig. 4, the server performs a reverse path traversal in the first travel path starting from the last segment of the first travel path, determines at least one set of segments from the first travel path, where any set of segments includes a start segment and an end segment, and includes: the server takes the last road section in the first driving path as an end point road section and takes the previous road section of the last road section as a starting point road section; and adjusting the starting point road section and the end point road section according to the diversion path relation between the starting point road section and the end point road section to obtain at least one group of road sections.

In one possible implementation manner, in response to the existence of the diversion path from the starting point road segment to the end point road segment, the server determines the previous road segment of the starting point road segment as the starting point road segment again, and maintains the end point road segment.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the number of at least two road segments included in the first travel path may be n, and the road segment identification of each road segment is sequentially l₁、l₂、l₃……l_n. A starting point (start) link of the first travel path is l_n-1The end (end) of the first travel path is l_n(ii) a Server response to l_n-1To l_nIf a diversion path exists, the starting point road section l is divided into_n-1Of the previous road section l_n-2Re-determining as starting point section, and keeping the ending point section_nAnd is not changed.

Another point to be described is that the server responds to the existence of a diversion path from the starting point road segment to the end point road segment, and maintains the end point road segment; if the destination segment is changed, diversion information from the start segment to the destination segment will be lost.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the number of at least two road segments included in the first travel path may be n, and the road segment identification of each road segment is sequentially l₁、l₂、l₃……l_n. Server response to l_n-2To l_n-1If a diversion path exists, the starting point road section l is divided into_n-2Of the previous road section l_n-3Re-determining as a starting point road segment; if the destination link l is changed_n-1Re-determining l_n-2Is a terminal road section; due to the starting point section l_n-3The included diversion road condition information is as follows: first branch of exit flow direction road section a flows to road condition and exit flow direction road section l_n-1The second branch to the road condition; therefore, will l_n-2As the destination link, the server cannot acquire the start link l_n-3Section of middle outlet flow direction_n-1The second branch to the road condition; the section of road i to which the outlet flow direction is lost_n-1The second diversion to the road conditions, resulting in the starting road section l being acquired by the server_n-3The traffic information is inaccurate.

In another possible implementation manner, in response to that there is no diversion path from the starting point road segment to the end point road segment, the server determines the previous road segment of the end point road segment as the end point road segment again, and maintains the starting point road segment.

For example, with continued reference to fig. 6, the number of at least two road segments included in the first travel path may be n, with the segment identification of each road segment being l in turn₁、l₂、l₃……l_n. A starting point (start) link of the first travel path is l_n-2The end (end) of the first travel path is l_n(ii) a Server response to l_n-2To l_nIf there is no diversion path, the terminal road section l is connected_nOf the previous road section l_n-1Re-determining as the destination road section, keeping the starting point road section l_n-2And is not changed.

In another possible implementation, the server determines a previous segment of the start segment as the start segment and maintains the determined end segment in response to the determined end segment and the start segment coinciding.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the number of at least two road segments included in the first travel path may be n, and the road segment identification of each road segment is sequentially l₁、l₂、l₃……l_n. A starting point (start) link of the first travel path is l_n-1The end (end) of the first travel path is l_n(ii) a Server response to l_n-1To l_nIf there is no diversion path, the terminal road section l is connected_nOf the previous road section l_n-1Re-determining the road section as the destination road section; server response to re-determined destination road segment l_n-1And a starting point link l_n-1Overlapping the starting point section l_n-1Of the previous road section l_n-2Re-determined as a starting point link, maintaining a re-determined end point link l_n-1And is not changed.

In the embodiment of the application, the server performs reverse path traversal in the first driving path from the last road segment of the first driving path, and determines at least one group of road segments from the first driving path, wherein any group of road segments comprises a starting point road segment and an end point road segment; forming at least one second driving path by the starting point road section and the end point road section in the at least one group of road sections; the server can acquire the road condition information of at least two road sections included in the first driving path, and the accuracy of acquiring the road condition information of the first driving path is improved.

It should be noted that, after the server retrieves the starting point link, the server also determines the starting point link to determine whether the starting point link is smaller than 1. If the starting point road section is not less than 1, continuously acquiring a second driving path; and stopping acquiring the second driving path until the starting point is less than 1.

For example, with continued reference to FIG. 4, the server chooses l_n-1Selecting l as the starting point road section_nIs a terminal road segment. The server responds to the starting road segment l_n-1To the end point link l_nIf the diversion path exists, the previous road section of the starting point road section is determined as the starting point road section again; when the start → the end has a diversion to the lane, the starting point is the starting point-1;the server responds to the starting road segment l_n-1To the end point link l_nIf no diversion path exists, the previous road section of the destination road section is determined as the destination road section again, and the starting point road section is kept; when the start → the end does not branch to the lane, the end point is equal to the end point-1; the server determines the previous road segment of the starting point road segment as the starting point road segment in response to the coincidence of the re-determined end point road segment and the starting point road segment, namely when the starting point is equal to the end point, the starting point is equal to the starting point-1; if the starting point road section is larger than 1, continuously acquiring a second driving path; and stopping acquiring the second driving path until the starting road segment is less than 1.

305. And the server determines the road condition information of the starting point road section according to the comprehensive flow direction road condition information of the starting point road section of the second driving path and the flow direction road condition information of the starting point road section to the terminal point road section of the second driving path.

The diversion path may exist from the starting point road segment to the end point road segment, or may not exist. Accordingly, the step may include: the server responds to the situation that a diversion path exists from the starting road section to the end road section of the second driving path, and the diversion road condition information from the starting road section to the end road section is determined as the road condition information of the starting road section; and determining the comprehensive flow direction road condition information of the starting point road section as the road condition information of the starting point road section in response to the situation that no diversion path exists from the starting point road section to the end point road section of the second driving path.

In a possible implementation manner, the server may determine whether a diversion path exists from the starting point road segment to the destination road segment according to a first road identifier of an exit flow direction from the starting point road segment to the destination road segment. Correspondingly, the server determines that no diversion path exists from the starting point road section to the end point road section in response to the fact that the first road identifications of the exit flow directions from the starting point road section to the end point road section are the same; and determining that a diversion path exists from the starting point road section to the destination road section in response to different first road identifications of the exit flow direction from the starting point road section to the destination road section.

For example, the number of at least two road segments included in the first travel path may be n, and the road segment identification of each road segment is l in turn₁、l₂、l₃……l_n. The server will_n-1As a starting point link, will l_nAs a destination road segment; therein, the starting point section l_n-1To the end point link l_nThe road signs of the outlet flow directions are the same and are all l_n(ii) a Start → end is not diverted to the lane; the server determines the starting road segment/_n-1To the end point link l_nThere is no diversion path.

It should be noted that, before this step, the server needs to determine the diversion road condition information from the starting road segment to the end road segment of the second driving path from the diversion road condition information from the starting road segment to at least one next road segment communicated with the starting road segment.

In a possible implementation manner, the server may determine the diversion road condition information of the starting road segment to the end road segment through a road identifier of an exit flow direction from the starting road segment to the end road segment, and correspondingly, the server determines the diversion road condition information of the starting road segment to the end road segment of the second driving path from the diversion road condition information of the starting road segment to at least one next road segment communicated therewith, including: the server determines a first road identification flowing from an outlet of a starting road section to an outlet of a destination road section; and determining the diversion road condition information from the starting road section to the destination road section from the diversion road condition information of the starting road section to at least one next road section communicated with the starting road section according to the first road identification.

In a possible implementation manner, the server may match the second road identifier and the first road identifier of the destination road segment to determine the diversion road condition information from the starting point road segment to the destination road segment. Correspondingly, the server determines the diversion road condition information from the starting point road section to the end point road section from the diversion road condition information from the starting point road section to at least one next road section communicated with the starting point road section according to the first road identification, and the method comprises the following steps: the server acquires a second road identification of the destination road section, matches the second road identification with the first road identification, and determines diversion road condition information corresponding to the successfully-matched first road identification as diversion road condition information from the starting point road section to the destination road section.

For example, with continued reference to FIG. 6, the server will l_n-2As starting point road sectionIs prepared by_n-1As a destination road segment; therein, the starting point section l_n-2The included diversion road condition information is as follows: the third branch of the exit flow direction road section a flows to the road condition and the exit flow direction road section l_n-1To the road condition. Wherein, the first road sign of the exit flow direction from the starting road section to the end road section comprises a and l_n-1. The server acquires a second road identifier l of the destination road section_n-1(ii) a Marking the second road with a mark l_n-1Matching with the first road mark to determine the first road mark l successfully matched_n-1And the corresponding fourth diversion road condition is diversion road condition information from the starting point road section to the end point road section.

It should be noted that after the server performs step 305, the server continues to perform step 304 until the server selects l₁To start the road segment, step 306 is executed after step 305 is executed.

306. And when the reverse path traversal is finished, the server determines the road condition information of the first driving path according to the road condition information of the starting point road section of at least one second driving path.

The road condition information of the first driving path may be time required for completing the first driving path; the traffic flow, the traffic density, and the traffic speed of at least two road segments included in the first travel path may also be used.

In one possible implementation, the traffic information of the first driving path is the time required for the vehicle to complete the first driving path; accordingly, the step may include: when the reverse path traversal is finished, the server acquires the first time required by the vehicle to finish the starting point road section of each second driving path according to the road condition information of the starting point road section; the first times are added to obtain a second time required for completing the first travel path.

In the embodiment of the application, the server determines second time required by the vehicle to finish the first driving path according to first time required by the vehicle to finish the starting point road section; therefore, the first travel path with the minimum second time can be determined as the optimal first travel path through the second time of each first travel path, and the travel time of the user is reduced.

In another possible implementation manner, the traffic information of the first traveling path is traffic flow, traffic density, and traffic speed of at least two road segments included in the first traveling path. Accordingly, the step may include: when the reverse path traversal is finished, the server acquires the traffic flow, the traffic density and the traffic speed of the starting point road section of each second driving path according to the road condition information of the starting point road section; and determining the traffic flow, the traffic flow density and the traffic flow speed of at least two road sections included in the first driving path through the traffic flow, the traffic flow density and the traffic flow speed of the starting point road section.

The traffic flow, the traffic density and the traffic speed of the starting point road section can be the instantaneous traffic flow, the instantaneous traffic density and the instantaneous traffic speed of the starting point road section at a certain moment; or the average traffic flow, the average traffic density and the average traffic flow speed in the first preset time period of the starting point road section. The first preset time length can be any value between 5s and 100 s; for example, the first preset time period may be 5s, 10s, 15s, and the like.

It should be noted that the traffic flow, the traffic density and the traffic speed of the starting road section are three relevant parameters; when the traffic flow of the starting point road section is larger, the traffic flow density of the starting point road section is larger, and the traffic flow speed of the starting point road section is smaller; when the traffic flow of the starting point road section is smaller, the traffic flow density of the starting point road section is smaller, and the traffic flow speed of the starting point road section is larger.

In the embodiment of the application, the server determines the traffic flow, the traffic density and the traffic speed of at least two road segments included in the first traveling path according to the traffic flow, the traffic density and the traffic speed of each starting point road segment, determines the first traveling path with the maximum traffic speed as the optimal first traveling path, and reduces the traveling time of a user.

It should be noted that, with reference to fig. 4, the server determines the traffic information of the first traveling paths, and executes step 303 in response to that the server does not obtain the traffic information of each first traveling path; step 307 is performed in response to the server acquiring the traffic information of each first travel path.

307. And the server returns the first driving path and the road condition information of the first driving path to the terminal.

In this step, the server may return the shortest first travel path and the traffic information of the first travel path when the vehicle runs to the terminal; the server can also return the first driving path with the shortest distance and the road condition information of the first driving path to the terminal; the server can also return the first driving path with the shortest vehicle time and the road condition information of the first driving path with the shortest distance to the terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, the server performs reverse path traversal in the first travel path from the last road segment of the first travel path to determine at least one second travel path; determining the road condition information of the starting point road section in the second driving path according to the comprehensive flow direction road condition information of the starting point road section of the second driving path and the diversion road condition information of the starting point road section to the end point road section; determining the road condition information of the first driving path according to the road condition information of the starting point road section of the at least one second driving path; since the end point road segment in the second travel path determines the passed road segment for the start point road segment while the reverse path traversal is started from the last road segment of the first travel path, the road condition information of the start point road segment can be determined by the end point road segment. Therefore, the road condition information of the first driving path can be determined without constructing a route table and inquiring the route table; when the road condition information is obtained, the time for constructing the route table and inquiring the route table can be eliminated, the time for obtaining the road condition information is shortened, and the efficiency for obtaining the road condition information is improved.
