Description

Method, system and storage medium for planning mixed road path
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a method, a system and a storage medium for planning a mixed road path.
Background
In the field of automatic driving, the road structure is divided into two types of structured roads and unstructured roads according to the difference of the road structures. The structured road refers to a highway, an urban arterial road and other roads with better structuring, and the environment has clear road mark lines and needs to follow traffic rules when running on the road. Unstructured roads refer to environments such as parks, parks and the like without obvious road structures, and the environments have no clear road sign lines and do not need to follow traffic rules when driving. In the prior art, hybrid road path planning on a structured environment and a non-structured environment is realized, and the switching is mainly based on a map. Firstly, two maps are stored in a structured and unstructured mode according to a scene. When a vehicle enters an unstructured road from a structured road, the map scene is switched by using positioning information. For a structured map scene, path planning is realized by analyzing a road topological structure; for unstructured maps, path planning is mainly implemented through graph search techniques. Both of these implementation ideas are completely not feasible, and therefore, it is necessary to switch to the corresponding path planning module according to the map type.
In the prior art, the map is cut according to the scene, so that the intersection point of the two maps can be planned firstly during planning, and the next path planning is performed after the map is switched. In addition, in the switching process, the path planning is needed again, so that the vehicle must be stopped during switching, and the whole flow is not consistent.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the specific examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Global path planning refers to the step of receiving a task instruction to plan a global path from a current position to an end point based on a high-precision map.
As shown in fig. 1-3, the method for planning a hybrid road path of the present invention performs global search in a preformed structured virtual road network, performs global path planning to form a global planned path, and then performs local path planning on an unstructured area in the virtual road network to obtain a local planned path, so as to realize the planning of the hybrid road path:
wherein the structured virtual road network is formed by the following steps:
converting the unstructured region into a plurality of virtual roads, setting corresponding virtual road network weights, and establishing road network topology together with the structured roads, so that the structured virtual road network is formed; after the structured virtual road network is formed, when the road planning is carried out, after the global path planning of the structured virtual map or the road network is carried out, the local path planning of the unstructured map is sequentially carried out aiming at the unstructured area, so that the decoupling and the matching of the two algorithms are realized.
Preferably, the optimal path is searched in the unstructured area by using a graph searching mode, so that local path planning or quadratic programming is realized.
In the general structured road network structure, an unstructured region is virtualized into a virtual road network node. The road network weight matrix stores the shortest distance between any two roads in the road network, and inspires a subsequent search algorithm. The length, type and topology information of all roads in the road network are needed for establishing the weight matrix. The global path searching process also includes two steps, the first step is to find the optimal path in the virtual road network, and the second step is to find the local optimal path in the corresponding unstructured region. The two are combined to form a global path. For such road network mapping, however, as shown in fig. 2, the unstructured regions typically have more than one entrance and exit with the structured regions. In order to obtain an optimal path, each gateway must establish a virtual connection road. For an unstructured area with N entrances, M exits, (NxM) virtual roads need to be created. This causes the road network to be very loaded, and the optimal path search speed is slow. When the virtual road actually enters the unstructured area, the virtual road is replaced by the secondary path planning of the unstructured area.
In order to solve the problem of the very load of the road network, the invention introduces a concept of a central road, and maps an unstructured area into two virtual roads, namely a connecting road and a central road. Each connecting channel corresponds to an outlet or inlet, and the central channel corresponds to an unstructured region. Thus, the road connection relationship is optimized to (m+n).
Because the unstructured region is mapped into two types of connecting roads (roads) and central roads (roads), the virtual road network weight can be set for each road. The weight of the connecting channel (road) represents the weight of each entry, and the weight of the central channel (road) represents the weight of the entire unstructured region.
The following functions can be realized through the virtual road network weight:
firstly, avoid unstructured area as much as possible: if the central road weight is reduced, the unstructured region can be avoided when the global path is searched, and the traffic can be realized by means of the unstructured region when no other selection exists.
Secondly, selecting an optimal entrance and exit route: because each gateway has a corresponding road weight, for example, by adjusting the road weight, a more appropriate entrance route can be selected as much as possible during global path planning.
In order that the global path planning algorithm can find the path topological relation from the structured area to the unstructured area, the connection relation between the unstructured area and the structured area is perfected, and a virtual lane is arranged between the structured area and the unstructured area, as shown in fig. 3.
Generally, the following three typical application scenarios in the hybrid path planning are:
one structured region to unstructured region or unstructured region to structured region, referring to fig. 4, and the other one with start point and end point both in structured region but penetrating unstructured region, referring to fig. 5, and the other with start point and end point both in unstructured region but penetrating structured region, referring to fig. 6.
It is not concerned about the distinction of these three scenes for the user, and only the positions of the start point and the end point are input. The task information analysis module of the path planning is responsible for decomposing a path planning task into tasks of the path planning task which can be executed practically.
In path planning, the invention finds the corresponding structured road network node according to the input starting point. For an end point or origin point in an unstructured region, then its corresponding virtual center road is used as the origin point or end point, as shown in fig. 6.
After the global path planning is completed, whether the nodes passing through the whole path have virtual roads or not is analyzed. If the virtual road exists, searching an optimal path in an unstructured area corresponding to the virtual road in a graph searching mode, and realizing local path planning or quadratic programming.
For the path planning of structured roads to unstructured roads shown in fig. 4. In the unstructured region, a corresponding coordinate point is found according to the virtual connecting channel (road) found in the global search and is used as a starting point, and the end point selected by a user in the unstructured region is used as the end point of the secondary search to conduct the secondary search.
For the scenario shown in fig. 5, in which the starting point and the ending point are both on the structured road and the unstructured road is traversed, the task information analysis module does not perform two searches of the virtual connection road from the entrance to the center road and the virtual connection road from the center road to the exit, but directly performs the secondary path search by using the coordinate point corresponding to the virtual connection road of the entrance as the starting point and the coordinate point corresponding to the virtual connection road of the exit as the ending point.
The invention realizes the whole path planning in the scene of the structured and unstructured mixed map by utilizing the virtual road network, so that the automatic driving vehicle can carry out the path planning according to the optimal route. The invention avoids the map switching process and realizes global no stop in the running process of the vehicle.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
