例如,可以根据车辆的当前位置的经纬度和目的地的经纬度,生成车辆当前点POI和目的地POI,然后计算车辆从当前点POI到目的地POI的行驶路线。
可选的,在确定个车辆的行驶路线之后,可以将各车辆的当前位置、目的地位置和行驶路线显示在电子地图上。
本实施例中,若车辆的行驶路线完全不在地理围栏内,则说明车辆的行驶路线偏离无人机的自主飞行路线较远,这些车辆将无法作为无人机的搭乘对象。
该步骤中,根据各车辆的行驶路线,筛选出至少部分行驶路线在地理围栏内的车辆,作为初始候选车辆。
步骤S203、从初始候选车辆中筛选出行驶速度满足预设条件的车辆,作为候选搭乘车辆。
该步骤中,筛选候选搭乘车辆时,车辆的行驶速度满足的预设条件至少包括:车辆的平均行驶速度大于第一速度阈值。
其中,第一速度阈值可以由技术人员根据实际需要进行设定,本实施例此处不做具体限定。
进一步的,从初始候选车辆中筛选出行驶速度满足预设条件的车辆,作为候选搭乘车 辆,还可以包括:
计算初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域行驶方向、区域直线路程和区域实际路程;根据初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域实际路程,以及平均行驶速度,计算初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的预计行驶时间;根据初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的预计行驶时间,以及初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域直线路程,计算初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的区域直线速度;根据初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域行驶方向,计算初始候选车辆的区域直线速度、在无人机的自主飞行方向上的速度分量;将速度分量大于第二速度阈值的车辆,作为候选搭乘车辆。
其中,第二速度阈值为预设比例值与无人机的平均飞行速度的乘积,预设比例值可以由技术人员根据实际应用场景和经验进行设定,本实施此处不做具体限定。
具体的,计算初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域行驶方向、区域直线路程和区域实际路程,可以采用如下方式实现:
确定初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的方向起点和方向终点;初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域行驶方向由方向起点指向方向终点;区域直线路程为由方向起点到方向终点的直线长度;区域实际路程为初始候选车辆沿行驶路线由方向起点到方向终点的实际行驶长度。
其中,方向起点为初始候选车辆的行驶路线中、在地理围栏内的部分路线的起始点;方向终点为初始候选车辆的行驶路线中、在地理围栏内的部分路线的终止点。
具体的,根据初始候选车辆的当前位置,若初始候选车辆的当前位置在地理围栏内,则该初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的方向起点为:该初始候选车辆的当前位置;若初始候选车辆的当前位置不在地理围栏内,则该初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的方向起点为:该初始候选车辆沿行驶线路行驶进入地理围栏的第一点。
根据初始候选车辆的目的地位置,若初始候选车辆的目的地位置在地理围栏内,则该初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的方向终点为:该初始候选车辆的目的地位置;若初始候选车辆的目的地位置不在地理围栏内,则该初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的方向终点为:该初始候选车辆沿行驶线路行驶离开地理围栏前的最后一点。
进一步的,初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域实际路程除以平均行驶速度,可以计算得到初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的预计行驶时间。
根据初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的预计行驶时间,用初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域直线路程除以该预计行驶时间,可以计算初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的区域直线速度。
根据无人机的飞行起点和飞行终点,可以确定由飞行起点指向飞行终点的无人机的自主飞行方向;结合初始候选车辆在地理围栏的区域行驶方向,计算初始候选车辆的区域直线速度、在无人机的自主飞行方向上的速度分量。
例如,假设无人机的飞行起点和飞行终点分别用E和F表示,则无人机的自主飞行方向为方向(EF) ;假设某一初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的方向起点和方向终点分别为A和B,则该初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的区域直线速度的方向为(AB) ,可以计算出该初始候选车辆在地理围栏内的区域直线速度在方向(EF) 的分量,得到该初始候选车辆的区域直线速度在无人机的自主飞行方向上的速度分量。
进一步的,可以将速度分量大于第二速度阈值的车辆,作为候选搭乘车辆。
步骤S204、根据各候选搭乘车辆的当前位置、行驶路线和行驶速度,计算各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点和候选最后飞离点。
其中,候选首次搭乘点指的是无人机从飞行起点直接飞往某一车辆进行本次飞行的第一次搭乘的位置点。
候选最后飞离点指的是无人机飞离当前搭乘的车辆直接飞往飞行终点时的位置点。
本实施例中,根据各候选搭乘车辆的当前位置、行驶路线和行驶速度,计算各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点,具体可以采用如下方式实现:
根据各候选搭乘车辆的当前位置、行驶路线和行驶速度,计算各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选搭乘点,无人机从飞行起点飞至候选搭乘点的同时,各候选搭乘车辆行驶至对应的候选搭乘点。若一候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上有多个候选搭乘点,则计算该多个候选搭乘点对应的无人机搭乘转飞时间,将对应的无人机搭乘转飞时间最短的候选搭乘点作为该候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点。
其中,无人机搭乘转飞时间是指无人机从飞行起点飞至该候选搭乘点所需的时间。
例如,假设从当前时刻起,无人机从飞行起点飞到某一候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的某一位置点的飞行时间为tn1,该候选搭乘车辆从当前位置行驶到该位置点的行驶时间为tn2,若tn1=tn2,则该位置点就是无人机搭乘该候选搭乘车辆的一个候选搭乘点。
另外,无人机从飞行起点飞到某一候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的某一位置点的飞行时间,可以通过无人机到该某点的飞行距离除以无人机的平均飞行速度计算得到。
候选搭乘车辆从当前位置行驶到某一位置点的行驶时间,可以通过候选搭乘车辆从当前位置行驶到某一位置点路程除以该候选搭乘车辆的平均行驶速度得到。
可选的,根据步骤S203中确定的候选搭乘车辆,给所有的候选搭乘车辆分配唯一编号,可以在电子地图上显示物理围栏,并显示物理围栏内的候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线,并可以用候选搭乘车辆的唯一编号对行驶路线进行标记。
优选地,在根据各候选搭乘车辆的当前位置、行驶路线和行驶速度,计算各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选搭乘点之后,还对候选搭乘点进行筛选,具体包括:剔除不在自主飞行路线对应的地理围栏内的候选搭乘点,剔除位于无人机无法搭乘位置的候选搭乘点。
进一步地,在确定各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选搭乘点之后,如果无人机与某一个候选搭乘车辆的候选搭乘点有多个,则选取无人机从飞行起点飞到候选搭乘点的飞行时间最短的候选首次搭乘点,作为该候选搭乘车辆的候选首次搭乘点。
可选的,可以将各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点在电子地图上显示,并用候选搭乘车辆的唯一编号进行标记。
该步骤中,根据各候选搭乘车辆的当前位置、行驶路线和行驶速度,计算各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选最后飞离点,具体可以采用如下方式实现:
将各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的允许无人机飞离的路段中、距离飞行终点最近的点作为候选最后飞离点。
具体地,可以循环各候选搭乘车辆,将各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线中允许无人机飞离的路段中、离无人机飞行终点最近的点,作为各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选最后飞离点。
可选的,可以将各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点在电子地图上显示,并用候选搭乘车辆的唯一编号进行标记。
另外,本实施例中,无人机的平均飞行速度可以根据当前天气情况(包括晴、雨、雪、 雾、风速等等相关信息),从历史数据中得出相同天气情况下无人机平均飞行速度。
步骤S205、根据各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点和候选最后飞离点,计算候选无人机转乘路线。
本实施例中,无人机在从飞行起点向飞行终点行驶过程中,可以搭乘一辆或者多辆车辆行驶。
在从飞行起点向飞行终点行驶过程中,若搭乘车辆的数量越多,那么中途变数越大(例如车辆行驶过快或过慢等)。为了提高无人机搭乘路线的有效性,在从飞行起点向飞行终点行驶过程中,无人机搭乘的车辆的数量通常不超过预设搭乘数量。其中,预设搭乘数量可以由技术人员根据实际应用场景和经验进行设定,本实施例此处不做具体限定。
可选的,预设搭乘数量可以为3,此时可以计算2次候选无人机转乘路线。
该步骤中,根据各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点和候选最后飞离点,计算候选无人机转乘路线,具体可以采用如下方式实现:
将行驶路线上包含候选首次搭乘点的各候选搭乘车辆作为候选转乘对象,计算各候选首次搭乘点对应的首次候选转乘路线,候选首次搭乘点对应的首次候选转乘路线是指:由该候选首次搭乘点对应行驶路线上的第一中途飞离点、至一候选转乘对象的行驶路线上的第一中途搭乘点的飞行路线;将行驶路线上包含候选最后飞离点的各候选搭乘车辆作为候选转乘对象,根据首次候选转乘路线,计算各首次候选转乘路线对应的二次候选转乘路线,首次候选转乘路线对应的二次候选转乘路线是指:由该首次候选转乘路线的第一中途搭乘点对应行驶路线上的第二中途飞离点、至一候选转乘对象的行驶路线上的第二中途搭乘点的飞行路线。
具体的,可以循环行驶路线含有候选首次搭乘点的各候选搭乘车辆,各候选首次搭乘点对应的首次候选转乘路线。然后,循环各候选搭乘车辆(包括行驶路线不含有候选首次搭乘点的候选搭乘车辆),计算首次候选转乘路线对应的二次候选转乘路线。
进一步的,计算候选首次搭乘点对应的首次候选转乘路线时,确定首次候选转乘路线的第一中途飞离点和第一中途搭乘点的过程,与计算各首次候选转乘路线对应的二次候选转乘路线时,确定二次候选转乘路线的第二中途飞离点和第二中途搭乘点的过程一致,具体可以采用如下方式实现:
确定无人机将飞离的第一车辆在第一时刻的第一运动点,与其他的第二车辆在第一时刻之后的T时刻的第二运动点连成的有向线段,作为无人机从第一车辆转乘第二车辆的有向线段。
其中,有向线段的起点为第一运动点,对应的车辆为无人机将飞离的第一车辆。有向线段的终点为第二运动点,对应的车辆为无人机将转乘的第二车辆。第一车辆为无人机当前搭乘的车辆,第二车辆为可以作为转乘对象的其他车辆。
这些有向线段满足如下条件:无人机从有向线段的起点飞离第一车辆,沿有向线段飞行,经过T时间后,到达有向线段的终点,此时,第二车辆正好行驶至有向线段的终点,无人机可以搭乘第二车辆。
这样,一个有向线段的起点和终点可以作为中途飞离点和中途搭乘点,该有向线段可以作为一条候选转乘路线。
其中,T为预设时长,可以采用现有技术中的方法,根据无人机的平均飞行速度、第 二车辆的平均行驶速度、第二车辆的行驶路线计算得到,本实施例中不再赘述。
具体的,对于一组第一车辆和第二车辆,第一时刻可以从无人机搭乘到第一车辆的时刻起,也就是,有向线段的起点的初始状态为无人机刚刚搭乘上第一车辆时的位置点。根据第一车辆和第二车辆的平均行驶速度模拟两者的有向线段在未来时间的变化情况,并选取有向线段全部在地理围栏内,并且长度最短的有向线段,作为无人机从该第一车辆转乘第二车辆的转乘路线。其中该有向线段的起点和终点分别作为中途飞离点和中途搭乘点。
如果第一车辆为无人机从飞行起点行驶到飞行终点的过程中首次搭乘的车辆,则该有向线段为无人机搭乘该第一车辆的候选首次搭乘点对应的首次候选转乘路线。
如果第一车辆为无人机从飞行起点行驶到飞行终点的过程中第一次转乘的车辆,则该有向线段为无人机转乘到该第一车辆的首次候选转乘路线对应的二次候选转乘路线。
步骤S206、根据各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点和候选最后飞离点,以及候选无人机转乘路线,生成至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线。
根据上述步骤计算得到的各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点和候选最后飞离点,以及候选无人机转乘路线,组合成至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线。
具体的,可以根据上述步骤计算出的候选首次搭乘点、各候选首次搭乘点对应的首次候选转乘路线、各首次候选转乘路线对应的二次候选转乘路线、候选最后飞离点,组合成至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线。其中,候选搭乘飞行路线可以不包含首次候选转乘路线,也可以不包含二次候选转乘路线。
例如,如图3所示,E和F分别表示无人机的飞行起点和飞行终点,路线AB表示候选搭乘车辆car1在地理围栏内的行驶路线,路线CD表示候选搭乘车辆Car2在地理围栏内的行驶路线,I为候选搭乘车辆car1行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点,L为候选搭乘车辆car1行驶路线上的候选最后飞离点,M为候选搭乘车辆Car2行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点,H为候选搭乘车辆Car2行驶路线上的候选最后飞离点。有向线段(JK) 为car1行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点I对应的首次候选转乘路线。那么,无人机的候选搭乘飞行路线至少包括:
候选搭乘飞行路线1(可以用“EI-JK-HF”表示):无人机从飞行起点E沿着EI方向飞行,无人机到达点I时,car1正好到达点I,无人机搭乘car1。当到达点J时,无人机飞离car1,沿着JK方向飞行到达K点时,car2正好到达K点。无人机在K点转乘car2,当到达点H,无人机飞离car2,沿着HF方向飞往飞行终点F。
候选搭乘飞行路线2(可以用“EI-LF”表示):无人机从飞行起点E沿着EI方向飞行,无人机到达点I时,car1正好到达点I,无人机搭乘car1,当car1到达点L,无人机飞离car1,沿着LF方向飞往飞行终点F。
候选搭乘飞行路线3(可以用“EM-HF”表示):无人机从飞行起点E沿着EM方向飞行,无人机到达点M时,car2正好到达点M,无人机搭乘car2,当car2到达点H,无人机飞离car2,沿着LF方向飞往飞行终点F。
步骤S207、从至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线中选取一条路线作为无人机的搭乘飞行路线。
本实施例中,在根据各候选搭乘车辆的行驶路线上的候选首次搭乘点和候选最后飞离点,以及候选无人机转乘路线,生成至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线之后,从至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线中选取一条路线作为无人机的搭乘飞行路线。
具体的,根据无人机的平均飞行速度,各候选搭乘车辆的平均行驶速度,计算至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线的总行驶时长;剔除总行驶时长大于飞行限定时长的候选搭乘飞行路线。
其中,候选搭乘飞行路线的总行驶时长包括无人机的飞行时长与无人机搭乘车辆的时长之和,可以根据候选搭乘飞行路线,无人机的平均飞行速度,无人机搭乘的车辆的平均行驶速度计算得到。
飞行限定时长可以采用如下方式计算得到:
计算当前时间距离无人机到达飞行终点的预计到达时间的剩余时长;获取无人机本次由飞行起点到达飞行终点的最大总时长;将剩余时长和最大总时长中的最小值作为无人机本次由飞行起点到达飞行终点的飞行限定时长。
其中,无人机本次由飞行起点到达飞行终点的最大总时长,可以由技术人员根据无人机后续飞行任务的需求等进行设定,本实施例此处不做具体限定。
进一步地,剔除总行驶时长大于飞行限定时长的候选搭乘飞行路线之后,还包括:采用以下公式,计算至少一条候选搭乘飞行路线的最终指标值:Z=aX+bY;将最终指标值最小的候选搭乘飞行路线,作为无人机的搭乘飞行路线。
其中,Z为以候选搭乘飞行路线的最终指标值,X为候选搭乘飞行路线的总行驶时长,Y为无人机在候选搭乘飞行路线中的飞行路程或者飞行时间,a和b为预设的权重值,a>=0,b>=0。
可选的,在确定无人机的搭乘飞行路线之后,可以在电子地图上显示该无人机的搭乘飞行路线。
步骤S208、控制无人机根据搭乘飞行路线,搭乘至少一个候选搭乘车辆由飞行起点行驶到达飞行终点。
在确定无人机的搭乘飞行路线之后,控制无人机按照搭乘飞行路线,搭乘一个或者多个候选搭乘车辆由飞行起点行驶到达飞行终点,从而实现无人机搭乘车辆完成本次行程。
本实施例中,控制无人机在根据搭乘飞行路线行驶的过程中,每隔预设时段,实时地获取无人机下一个将搭乘的目标车辆的行驶速度和所在位置,根据无人机的平均飞行速度和所在位置,更新无人机搭乘该目标车辆的搭乘点位置,并根据更新后的搭乘点位置,控制无人机搭乘目标车辆。
进一步的,若更新后的搭乘点位置与更新前的搭乘点位置的偏移距离大于预设偏移值,则将无人机的当前位置作为新的飞行起点,采用本实施例提供的方法,将当前位置到飞行终点的直线作为无人机新的自主飞行路线,根据新的自主飞行路线更新地理围栏,并重新计算无人机的搭乘飞行路线。
本申请实施例通过根据无人机由飞行起点到飞行终点的自主飞行路线,确定候选搭乘车辆;根据各候选搭乘车辆的当前位置、行驶路线和行驶速度,计算得到无人机的搭乘飞行路线;控制无人机根据搭乘飞行路线,搭乘至少一个候选搭乘车辆由飞行起点行驶到达飞行终点,实现了在由飞行起点行驶到飞行终点期间,无人机通过搭乘至少一个车辆大大减少无人机依靠自身动力飞行的路程和时间,大大节省了无人机电量消耗,延长了无人机的运送距离。
