After the destination position in the logistics task of the target logistics vehicle is switched to the loading and unloading waiting area position, the target logistics vehicle automatically sends queuing reservation information (hereinafter referred to as first queuing reservation information for showing distinction) to the automatic driving logistics vehicle dispatching system after starting the vehicle and going to the loading and unloading waiting area position.

In this embodiment, the step S302 may include steps S3021 to S3023:

step S3021, determining that the priority of the target logistics vehicle is higher than the priority of the logistics vehicle to be enqueued when the first time is earlier than the second time;

When a vehicle to be queued (including a target logistics vehicle and a logistics vehicle to be enqueued) is ready to go to a loading and unloading waiting area, queuing reservation information is sent to a platform management module of an automatic driving logistics vehicle dispatching system, and first logic queuing is realized; after the vehicles to be queued reach the loading and unloading waiting area, the vehicles are sent to a dock management module of the automatic driving logistics vehicle dispatching system through the sign-in information, so that second logic queuing is realized.

After determining the first time when the first check-in information is received and the second time when the second check-in information is received, determining the priority of the target logistics vehicle based on the sequence of the first time and the second time, that is, it should be understood that the priority of the target logistics vehicle is determined by queuing with the second logic preferentially, that is, the priority of the logistics vehicle which sends out the check-in information first is higher; and when the first time and the second time are the same, the priority of the target logistics vehicles is determined by the first logic queuing, that is, the priority of the logistics vehicles which firstly send out queuing reservation information is higher, that is, the priority of the target logistics vehicles is higher than the priority of the logistics vehicles to be enqueued when the third time is earlier than the fourth time, and the priority of the target physical vehicles is lower than the priority of the logistics vehicles to be enqueued when the third time is later than the fourth time. In addition, when the first time is the same as the second time and the third time is the same as the fourth time, one of the target logistics vehicle and the logistics vehicle to be enqueued is selected at random as the logistics vehicle with higher priority.

As shown in fig. 2, a flow chart of dispatching a logistics vehicle is illustrated, when the logistics vehicle is ready to go to a loading and unloading waiting area, queuing reservation information is automatically sent to a platform management module of an automatic logistics vehicle dispatching system, after the logistics vehicle reaches the loading and unloading waiting area, the logistics vehicle is automatically sent to a sign-in information to the platform management module, and the platform management module determines the priority of each logistics vehicle based on the queuing reservation information and the sign-in information to generate a loading and unloading queue; the platform state is obtained from a platform camera through a platform management module, when the loading and unloading platform in an idle state is detected, a number calling robot is controlled to send number calling information to a logistics vehicle with the highest priority in a loading and unloading queue based on the loading and unloading queue, so that the logistics vehicle is scheduled to go to the loading and unloading platform for loading or unloading, wherein when the number calling robot detects that the logistics vehicle is abnormally queued, the logistics vehicle is informed to return to a field sign-in link for queuing again; and triggering an ending notification by a platform staff, and sending the ending notification to a platform management module to end the logistics vehicle dispatching flow.

Therefore, the application sets the loading and unloading queuing rules which are used simultaneously with the traditional vehicles and the automatic driving vehicles, namely the traditional vehicles and the automatic driving vehicles use the same loading and unloading platform and dispatching system, thereby improving the resource utilization rate and realizing unified dispatching.

In the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar content as in the first embodiment of the present application may be referred to the description above, and will not be repeated. On this basis, after the step S40, the automatic driving logistics vehicle dispatching method further includes a step B10:
