步骤A1,枢纽协调设备判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求。
步骤A2,枢纽协调设备判断当前枢纽服务区存在服务区需求时,与车辆协调设备通信确定需求解决方案。
以下介绍实施例的若干代表性实施方式。
步骤A1,枢纽协调设备判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求。
枢纽协调设备可以实时地触发判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求的过程,即枢纽协调设备自被启动后就循环地判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求。
枢纽协调设备可以按照预设的时间间隔触发判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求的过程,例如,枢纽协调设备每隔一小时就执行一次判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求的过程。
枢纽协调设备可以在预定条件成就时触发判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求的过程。这里的预定条件可以包括但不限于以下的一种或多种:有备用车驶出备用车服务站,仓储服务站中有货物被运走,有货物卸载并存储至仓储服务站里,维修服务站发出缺少备用汽车零部件的告警消息。
枢纽协调设备可以按照预设的时间间隔触发判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求的过程,同时在预定条件成就时也触发这一判断过程。
枢纽协调设备判断自身所在的当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求的过程,可以包括如下步骤A11~A12:
步骤A11,枢纽协调设备获取当前枢纽服务区的服务区相关参数。
服务区相关参数可以包括备用车的使用情况、仓储货物的运输计划、仓储空间的占用情况、枢纽服务区中各个服务站点的物资缺乏情况等一种或多种参数。
步骤A12,枢纽协调设备根据当前枢纽服务区的服务区相关参数,判断当前枢纽服务区是否存在服务区需求。
在一个示例中,当备用车的使用情况表明某类型备用车的实际数量少于该类型备用车的额定数量时,枢纽协调设备就可以判断当前枢纽服务区存在服务区需求。
在一个示例中,当仓储货物的运输计划表明仓库中有货物需要运输时,枢纽协调设备就可以判断当前枢纽服务区存在服务区需求。
在一个示例中,当仓储空间的占用情况表明仓库中存在空闲的仓储空间时,枢纽协调设备就可以判断枢纽服务区存在服务区需求。
在一个示例中,当枢纽服务区中各个服务站点的物资缺乏情况表明某一个或多个服务站点中缺少某一种或多种物资时,枢纽协调设备就可以判断枢纽服务区存在服务区需求。
步骤A2,枢纽协调设备判断当前枢纽服务区存在服务区需求时,与车辆协调设备通信确定需求解决方案。
确定需求解决方案的过程可以包括确定目标自动驾驶车的过程和确定任务清单的过程。
枢纽协调设备与车辆协调设备通信确定需求解决方案的过程可以包括如下的步骤:
步骤A21,当前枢纽服务区的枢纽协调设备与多个自动驾驶车的车辆协调设备通信确定目标自动驾驶车。
步骤A22,当前枢纽服务区的枢纽协调设备与目标自动驾驶车的车辆协调设备通信确定任务清单。
以下详细介绍步骤A21~A22的各种实施方式:
步骤A21中当前枢纽服务区的枢纽协调设备与多个自动驾驶车的车辆协调设备通信确定目标自动驾驶车的过程,可以包括如下的步骤A211~A212:
步骤A211,枢纽协调设备确定当前枢纽服务区的服务区详细需求。
服务区详细需求可以包括需要执行的任务和执行任务需要的车辆资源。
枢纽协调设备可以根据当前枢纽服务区的服务区相关参数,确定需要执行的任务和执行任务需要的车辆资源。
在一个示例中,备用车的使用情况表明乘用车、商用车整车、牵引车等具有自主移动能力的备用车的实际数量少于相应额定数量时,枢纽协调设备就可以确定需要执行的任务为:补给备用车,并且确定执行任务需要的车辆资源包括符合如下条件的自动驾驶车:车型与该具有自主移动能力的备用车的车型一致。乘用车、商用车整车、牵引车等类型的备用车具有动力装置,能够自主移动,可以自主地从当前枢纽服务区以外的其他地方移动至当前枢纽服务区中完成补给相应类型的备用车的任务。因此执行任务所需的车辆资源可以直接确定为与该具有自主移动能力的备用车的车型一致的自动驾驶车。
例如,备用车服务站中牵引车的额定数量为10辆,某时刻当前枢纽服务区附近的区域有一辆自动驾驶卡车因牵引车发生故障而停驶,该自动驾驶卡车向当前枢纽服务区发出求救请求,当前枢纽服务区接收到求救请求后,其道路救援服务站调遣备用车服务站中的一辆牵引车到达救援站点替换发生故障的牵引车继续行驶。备用车服务站中的牵引车的实际数量因此少于额定数量,此时,枢纽协调设备就可以确定需要执行的任务为:补给备用车,并且,确定执行任务需要的车辆资源包括:牵引车。
在一个示例中,备用车的使用情况表明挂车等不具备自主移动能力的备用车的实际数量少于相应额定数量时,枢纽协调设备可以确定需要执行的任务为:补给备用车,并且确定执行任务需要的车辆资源包括符合如下条件的自动驾驶车:车体包括该不具备自主移动能力的备用车(如挂车)和能够驱动该不具备自主移动能力的备用车移动的动力设备(如牵引车)。挂车等类型的备用车不具有动力装置,不能自主移动,因此不能够自主地从当前枢纽服务区以外的其他地方移动至当前枢纽服务区中,而是需要由牵引车等能驱动其移动的设备驱动至当前枢纽服务区中才能完成补给相应类型的备用车的任务,因此,执行任务需要的自动驾驶车的车体结构不仅需要包括不具备自主移动能力的备用车,还需要包括能够驱动该不具备自主移动能力的备用车移动的动力设备。

9.参考图4和图5所示的场景,在一个示例中,枢纽服务区HUB-1的枢纽协调设备每隔2小时判断一次枢纽服务区HUB-1是否存在服务区需求。
该示例中,某一时刻枢纽协调设备通过连接备用车服务站的停车控制器获取到如下的备用车使用情况:
(1)备用车服务站中包括半挂牵引车、半挂车、全挂牵引车、半挂牵引车、厢式货车五种类型的备用车;
(2)半挂牵引车的额定数量为10辆,实际数量为7辆;
(3)半挂车的额定数量为10辆,实际数量为10辆;
(4)全挂牵引车的额定数量为10辆,实际数量为10辆;
(5)全挂车的额定数量为10辆,实际数量为10辆;
(6)厢式货车的额定数量为5辆,实际数量为4辆。
枢纽协调设备根据上述的备用车使用情况可以确定半挂牵引车的实际数量少于额定数量,厢式货车的实际数量也少于额定数量,因此,枢纽服务区HUB-1存在服务区需求。
进一步的,枢纽协调设备确定出枢纽服务区HUB-1的服务区详细需求,包括如下的信息:
(1)需要执行的任务为:补给备用车;
(2)执行任务需要的车辆资源包括:3辆半挂牵引车和1辆厢式货车。
枢纽协调设备通过与枢纽服务区HUB-1联网的多个自动驾驶车的车辆协调设备进行通信,获取到各个自动驾驶车的属性信息,该示例中各个自动驾驶车的属性信息如表1所示:
表1
自动驾驶车的标识 车型 与枢纽服务区HUB-1的距离
ADV-0001 厢式货车 2km
ADV-0002 全挂牵引车 1.5km
ADV-0003 半挂牵引车 1km
ADV-0004 全挂牵引车 5km
ADV-0005 半挂牵引车 3km
ADV-0006 半挂牵引车 0.5km
ADV-0007 厢式货车 3km
ADV-0008 轿车 5km
ADV-0009 运动型多用途车 6km
枢纽协调设备根据每个自动驾驶车的属性信息判断相应自动驾驶车是否符合上述服务区详细需求中包括的执行任务需要的车辆资源的条件,并将符合条件的自动驾驶车确定为候选自动驾驶车。
枢纽协调设备根据表1中各个自动驾驶车的属性信息和上述服务区详细需求,从自动驾驶车ADV-0001~ADV-0009中确定出候选自动驾驶车:ADV-0001(厢式货车)、ADV-0003(半挂牵引车)、 ADV-0005(半挂牵引车)、ADV-0006(半挂牵引车)、ADV-0007(厢式货车)。
枢纽协调设备向候选自动驾驶车ADV-0001、ADV-0007的车辆协调设备分别发送预约请求,该预约请求中包括枢纽服务区HUB-1的上述服务区详细需求和一些基本信息,这些基本信息包括:
(1)枢纽服务区的标识:HUB-1;
(2)枢纽服务区的地址:广州花都区;
(3)可支付的报酬:1000元。
候选自动驾驶车ADV-0001和ADV-0007的车辆协调设备接收到上述预约请求后,根据上述服务区详细需求和基本信息,分别判断是否同意由候选自动驾驶车ADV-0001和ADV-0007为枢纽服务区HUB-1解决补充备用车的需求,并在同意时向枢纽服务区HUB-1的枢纽协调设备返回同意消息。该示例中,候选自动驾驶车ADV-0001和ADV-0007的车辆协调设备均向返回同意消息。
同时,枢纽协调设备向候选自动驾驶车ADV-0003、ADV-0005、ADV-0006分别发送预约请求,该预约请求中包括枢纽服务区HUB-1的上述服务区详细需求和一些基本信息,这些基本信息包括:
(1)枢纽服务区的标识:HUB-1;
(2)枢纽服务区的地址:广州花都区;
(3)可支付的报酬:700元。
候选自动驾驶车ADV-0003、ADV-0005、ADV-0006的车辆协调设备接收到上述预约请求后,根据上述服务区详细需求和基本信息,分别判断是否同意由候选自动驾驶车ADV-0003、ADV-0005、ADV-0006为枢纽服务区HUB-1解决补充备用车的需求,并在同意时向枢纽服务区HUB-1的枢纽协调设备返回同意消息。该示例中,候选自动驾驶车ADV-0003、ADV-0005、ADV-0006的车辆协调设备也均向返回同意消息。
执行任务需要的车辆资源包括1辆厢式货车,因此,枢纽协调设备要从ADV-0001(厢式货车)和ADV-0007(厢式货车)中选取一个作为目标自动驾驶车。由于ADV-0001(厢式货车)和ADV-0007(厢式货车)与枢纽服务区HUB-1的距离分别为2km和3km,枢纽协调设备根据与枢纽服务区HUB-1的距离最近的原则,将ADV-0001(厢式货车)确定为目标自动驾驶车。
同时,执行任务需要的车辆资源包括3辆半挂牵引车,而候选的自动驾驶车中恰有三辆半挂牵引车,因此枢纽协调设备直接将这三辆候选自动驾驶车ADV-0003(半挂牵引车)、ADV-0005(半挂牵引车)、ADV-0006(半挂牵引车)都确定为目标自动驾驶车。
随后枢纽服务区HUB-1的枢纽协调设备分别与目标自动驾驶车ADV-0001(厢式货车)、ADV-0003(半挂牵引车)、ADV-0005(半挂牵引车)、ADV-0006(半挂牵引车)的车辆协调设备通信以确定出对应于相应目标自动驾驶车的任务清单,这些任务清单如下表2所示:
表2
Figure PCTCN2019104407-appb-000001
按照上述任务清单,目标自动驾驶车ADV-0001、ADV-0003、ADV-0005、ADV-0006中的车辆协调设备分别控制相应的目标自动驾驶车行驶到枢纽服务区HUB-1中的备用车服务站,等待与备用车服务站中的实体进行交互。
上述每个目标自动驾驶车行驶到备用车服务站的停车场的入口处时,备用车服务站的车辆识别设备中配置的摄像机采集各个目标自动驾驶车的图像,车辆识别设备中配置的图像处理器从采集的图像中识别出目标自动驾驶车的类型,车辆识别设备中配置的通信单元通过V2X技术接收目标自动驾驶车发送的密码信息,信息处理器按照任务清单中的鉴权方式对该密码信息进行验证,当验证成功时,车辆识别设备向备用车服务站的停车场控制器发送验证成功的指示消息,停车场控制器接收到该指示消息后控制停车场入口处的电动道闸打开以允许目标自动驾驶侧驶入停车场。
10.参考图4和图5所示的场景,在一个示例中,枢纽服务区HUB-2的枢纽协调设备实时地判断枢纽服务区HUB-2是否存在服务区需求。
该示例中,某一时刻枢纽协调设备通过连接业务订单系统获取到枢纽服务区HUB-2的仓储货物运输计划:

(2)仓库D0~D1用于存储药品类货物,仓库D2~D6用于存储日用品、食品类(常温保存)货物,仓库D7~D9用于存储冷冻食品类货物;
(3)仓库D0中有一批体积为10立方米的药品需要运输至广州,业务订单编号为YD20190819004;
(4)仓库D1~D9中暂无货物需要运输。
枢纽协调设备根据上述仓储货物运输计划确定仓储服务站中有货物需要装载和运输,因此枢纽服务区HUB-2存在服务区需求。
进一步的,枢纽协调设备确定出枢纽服务区HUB-2的服务区详细需求,包括如下的信息:
(1)需要执行的任务为:装载并运输货物;
(2)执行任务需要的车辆资源包括符合如下条件的自动驾驶车:可装载的货物的类型涵盖药品类,可装载货物的体积大于或等于10立方米,可行驶区域包括枢纽服务区HUB-2的所在地北京。
枢纽协调设备将上述服务区详细需求广播出去,接收到上述服务区详细需求的自动驾驶车的车辆协调设备先获取相应自动驾驶车的车辆相关参数,并据此确定出相应自动驾驶车的属性信息,然后根据该属性信息判断相应自动驾驶车是否符合上述执行任务需要的车辆资源的条件,并将判断结果返回给枢纽协调设备。下表3所示为接收到上述服务区详细需求的多个自动驾驶车的属性信息及对应的判断结果:
表3
Figure PCTCN2019104407-appb-000002
枢纽协调设备根据各个自动驾驶车返回的判断结果确定符合上述服务区详细需求中包括的执行任务需要的车辆资源的条件的自动驾驶车为ADV-0011,并将其确定为目标自动驾驶车。
随后枢纽协调设备与目标自动驾驶车ADV-0011通信确定出如下表4所示的任务清单:
表4
Figure PCTCN2019104407-appb-000003
确定出上述任务清单之后,车辆协调设备控制目标自动驾驶车ADV-0011行驶到枢纽服务区HUB-2中仓储车服务站的仓库D0的月台处,与仓储车服务站中的实体进行交互。
车辆控制器首先控制目标自动驾驶车ADV-0011与仓储车服务站中的身份验证设备按照任务清单中包括的鉴权方式交互完成鉴权,然后由仓储服务站中的搬运机器人、叉车等实体将需要运输的药品货物搬运至目标自动驾驶车ADV-0011的车厢中,当装载结束后,目标自动驾驶车ADV-0011依次驶出仓储服务站和枢纽服务区HUB-2,将货物运输至目的地广州。
11.参考图4和图5所示的场景,在一个示例中,枢纽服务区HUB-3中每当仓库中有货物运出时,枢纽服务区HUB-3中配置的枢纽协调设备就触发判断枢纽服务区HUB-3是否存在服务区需求的过程。
该示例中,某一时刻枢纽协调设备通过连接仓储服务站的仓储控制器获取到如下的仓储空间的占用情况:
(1)仓储服务站中包括10个仓库,编号分别为D0~D9;
(2)仓库D0~D1用于存储药品类货物,仓库D2~D6用于存储日用品、食品类(常温保存)货物,仓库D7~D9用于存储冷冻食品类货物;
(3)仓库D0~D5的最大容积均为200m 3,剩余容积为0;
(4)仓库D6~D8的最大容积均为300m 3,剩余容积为0;
(5)仓库D9的最大容积均为300m 3,剩余容积为30m 3
枢纽协调设备根据上述仓储空间的占用情况确定仓储服务站中有空闲的仓储空间,因此枢纽服务区HUB-3存在服务区需求。
进一步的,枢纽协调设备确定出枢纽服务区HUB-3的服务区详细需求,包括如下的信息:
(1)需要执行的任务为:将货物卸载至空闲的仓储空间;
(2)执行任务需要的车辆资源包括符合如下条件的自动驾驶车:正在运输的货物的目的地包括枢纽服务区HUB-3的地址北京,正在运输的货物的类型为仓库D9可存储的货物的冷冻食品类,正在运输的货物的体积小于或等于30m 3
枢纽协调设备将上述服务区详细需求广播出去,接收到上述服务区详细需求的自动驾驶车的车辆协调设备先获取相应自动驾驶车的车辆相关参数,并据此确定出相应自动驾驶车的属性信息,然后根据该属性信息判断相应自动驾驶车是否符合上述服务区详细需求中包括的执行任务需要的车辆资源的条件,并将判断结果返回给枢纽协调设备。下表5所示为接收到上述服务区详细需求的多个自动驾驶车的属性信息及对应的判断结果:
表3
Figure PCTCN2019104407-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2019104407-appb-000005
枢纽协调设备根据各个自动驾驶车返回的判断结果确定符合上述服务区详细需求中包括的执行任务需要的车辆资源的条件的自动驾驶车为ADV-0019,并将其确定为目标自动驾驶车。
随后枢纽协调设备与目标自动驾驶车ADV-0019通信确定出如下表6所示的任务清单:
表6
Figure PCTCN2019104407-appb-000006
确定出上述任务清单之后,车辆协调设备控制目标自动驾驶车ADV-0019行驶到枢纽服务区HUB-3中仓储车服务站的仓库D9的月台处,与仓储车服务站中的实体进行交互。
车辆控制器首先控制目标自动驾驶车ADV-0019与仓储车服务站中的身份验证设备按照任务清单中包括的鉴权方式交互完成鉴权,然后由仓储服务站中的搬运机器人、叉车或起重机等实体将车厢中装载的冷冻食品卸载并搬运至仓库D9的空闲仓储空间中,当卸载结束后,目标自动驾驶车ADV-0019依次驶出仓储服务站和枢纽服务区HUB-3。
