The total number of vehicles on the road section, the number of vehicles on each lane in the road section, the statistical data of the types of the vehicles in the road section and the navigation data of the vehicles in the road section are obtained according to the data collected by the arranged sensors: the total number of vehicles in the road section is acquired based on wide-area radar arranged at an upstream intersection and/or in the current road section. The number of vehicles in each lane in the road section is acquired based on a wide area radar arranged in the current road section, the number of vehicles in each lane, the queuing length and the like can be actually acquired, the acquisition frequency is configured according to actual needs, and the acquisition can be carried out according to the frequencies of 1min, 3min, 5min, 15min, 30min, 60min and the like.

The intersection relation data comprise intersection connection relations and distances among intersections acquired from the electronic map platform.
In addition, the control platform can also acquire a signal timing mode and historical traffic statistical data of a signal control machine of an upstream intersection and a downstream intersection of the current road section from a cloud database of the control platform, wherein the historical traffic statistical data is usually historically acquired road section traffic data and data obtained by further processing.
Andstep 2, performing cluster analysis on the acquired traffic data of all road sections and the historical traffic statistical data to determine traffic flow data, wherein the traffic flow data comprises traffic flows of all vehicles flowing from the upstream intersection in all driving directions on an entrance way of the current road section.
In the method, when the traffic data of all road sections are subjected to cluster analysis, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is adopted to analyze the correlation of the space-time distribution characteristics among vehicles, the traffic flow of each driving direction in the current road section is determined, and when the hierarchical clustering algorithm is used, the two clusters are merged and updated through the minimum distance and/or the maximum distance and/or the average distance between the two clusters.
This step establishes a hierarchical clustering Algorithm (AGENT) that attempts to partition the data at different levels, thereby forming a tree-shaped cluster structure. The data set can be divided by adopting a bottom-up aggregation strategy or a top-down separation strategy, for example, a bottom-up hierarchical clustering algorithm, each sample in the data set is firstly regarded as an initial cluster, then two closest clusters are found out in each step of the algorithm operation and are merged, and the process is continuously repeated until the preset number of clusters is reached. In calculating the distance between two clusters, the distance between the closest samples of the two clusters may be calculated to obtain the minimum distance, or the distance between the farthest samples of the two clusters may be calculated to obtain the maximum distance, or the distances between all the samples of the two clusters may be calculated to obtain the average distance. In order to make the clustering result more accurate, clustering can be performed repeatedly.
And 3, controlling a signal control machine of the downstream intersection of the current road section to work according to a signal timing mode corresponding to the traffic flow data. The different signal timing modes corresponding to the traffic flow data adopted by the signal controller comprise at least one of different phase numbers, different phase sequences of the phases and different green time durations of the phases. The signal timing modes corresponding to different traffic flow data may be pre-configured, for example, when it is determined that the traffic flow data is small, that is, the traffic flow in each driving direction is small, a two-phase signal timing mode may be adopted, and when it is determined that the traffic flow data is large, that is, the traffic flow in each driving direction is large, a four-phase signal timing mode may be adopted.
And 4, determining the number of lanes corresponding to each driving direction based on the total number of lanes contained in the entrance lane of the current road section according to the traffic flow of each driving direction and the traffic flow threshold corresponding to each driving direction, wherein each driving direction corresponds to one or more lanes, and one lane corresponding to each driving direction can be shared independently or with other driving directions.
Each driving direction can be divided into the corresponding number of lanes according to different relations between the traffic flow and the traffic flow threshold. For example, the number of lanes may be divided according to a ratio of the traffic flow to the traffic flow threshold, for example, for a right turn direction, assuming that the ratio of the right turn traffic flow to the right turn traffic flow threshold is a right turn traffic flow threshold ZR, a straight right shared lane may be set when the right turn traffic flow threshold ZR is between 0 and 1, and an exclusive right turn lane may be set when the right turn traffic flow threshold ZR is greater than 1 from 0 to 1. The dividing modes of the different forming directions for the number of lanes are the same or different, for example, the lanes are divided according to the mode for the right-turn direction, for the straight-going direction, an exclusive straight-going lane is set when the configured straight-going traffic threshold value ZS is smaller than 1, at least two exclusive straight-going lanes are set when the straight-going traffic threshold value ZS is between 1 and 2, at least two exclusive straight-going lanes are set when the straight-going traffic threshold value ZS is between 2 and 3, at most three exclusive straight-going lanes are set when the straight-going traffic threshold value ZS is larger than 3, and the exclusive straight-going lanes can be adjusted in other modes, for example, the independent left-sharing lane and the independent right-sharing lane can be adjusted.
The dividing mode of the number of vehicles in different driving directions can be configured in a self-defining mode in advance, and the total number of lanes contained in the entrance lane of each road section is also predetermined and planned, so that the number of vehicles in each driving direction can be coordinated under the limit of the total number of lanes, and the number of lanes in each driving direction can be determined.
And 5, controlling an intelligent variable lane display screen at the entrance lane of the current road section to display an indication mark corresponding to each lane according to the number of lanes corresponding to each driving direction.
In the application, after determining the number of lanes corresponding to each driving direction and the display mode of the intelligent variable lane display screen according to traffic flow data, the control platform directly sends the display mode to the intelligent variable lane display screen, or sends the display mode to a signal controller corresponding to the current road section and forwards the display mode to the intelligent variable lane display screen through the signal controller.
The indication mark corresponding to each lane indicates that the vehicle in the current lane drives into the downstream intersection along the driving direction indicated by the indication mark according to the signal control machine at the entrance lane. Each indication mark displayed by the intelligent variable lane display screen indicates a single driving direction, and the corresponding lane is a lane special for a single-vehicle direction, or indicates at least two driving directions simultaneously, and the corresponding lane is a lane shared by multiple vehicle directions.
In the application process, the method further comprises a special control mode, when the current road section is determined to be in the accident control state based on at least one of the total number of vehicles in the road section, the number of vehicles in each lane in the road section and the road section congestion state evaluation data, the intelligent variable lane display screen of the road section at the upstream intersection is controlled to display other indication marks except the indication mark corresponding to the driving direction of the current road section, and the signal timing mode of the signal control machine at the downstream intersection is controlled to enable the green letter time of the current road section to be released to be the maximum. The specific display mode can be configured in various ways as required, for example, when the road section of the west entrance is in the accident control state, the opposite east entrance can be controlled to display other indicators besides the indicator indicating straight movement, which at least includes the following specific display modes, and the display mode can be actually displayed in any one of them:
(1) The east entry variable lane displays are u-turn, left-turn, right-turn and west entry variable lane displays left-turn, straight, right-turn, respectively.
(2) The east entry variable lane displays are turn around, left turn, right turn and west entry variable lane displays left turn, straight, right turn, respectively.
(3) The east entry variable lane display is respectively shared by turning around, left turning, right turning and west entry variable lane display of left turning, straight going and right turning.
(4) The east entry variable lane displays are turn around, left turn, right turn and west entry variable lane displays are left turn, straight, right turn, respectively.
Therefore, the situation that vehicles on a road section of the east import directly enter the west import to cause further vehicle overstock can be avoided, and in addition, four-phase release (west import release (higher green letter), east import release (lower green letter), south-north direct (lower green letter), south-north left turn (lower green letter)) or three-phase release (west import release (higher green letter), east import release (lower green letter) and south-north combined release (lower green letter)) can be configured and used, so that the vehicles at the west import are quickly released, and the control strategy of 'slow-in and fast-out' can be realized.
Alternatively, the method provided by the present application may be executed all day long, or in time-sharing, and when the time-sharing is executed: and in a first preset time period, a signal control machine for controlling the intersection controls the intelligent variable lane display screen of each road section to display according to a fixed preset display mode by adopting a fixed preset signal timing mode, wherein the first preset time period is a time period when the traffic flow of each driving direction in the road section is smaller than the traffic flow threshold value of each corresponding driving direction. For example, conventionally, the time from 22 a night to 6 a morning may be configured, and the traffic flow is small in this time period, so that the method may not be adopted for adjustment, and the predetermined signal timing mode and the predetermined display mode may be configured in advance, for example, the predetermined signal timing mode may be set in advance as a two-phase control mode (east-west combination and south-north combination), and the predetermined display mode is left turn, straight travel, and right turn at the east entrance of the intersection; west import left turn, straight going, right turn.
And in a time period outside the first preset time period, namely a time period with a generally larger traffic flow, the method is adopted to control the signal timing mode of a signal controller of the corresponding intersection and the display mode of an intelligent variable lane display screen according to traffic flow data of the road section, and the release mode of the intersection is dynamically adjusted according to traffic conditions, so that the traffic efficiency is improved.
When controlling the traffic at the intersection, the signal control machine and the intelligent variable lane display screen are coordinated with each other, and multiple specific combined control modes are provided, and the following configuration is provided in the application in the following way by assuming the lane number dividing mode of turning around, turning left, going straight and turning right when the relation between the traffic flow and the traffic flow threshold is different:

(3) If the left-turn traffic flow threshold ZL is between 2.0 and 3.0, at least 2 left-turn lanes are reserved, and at most 3 left-turn lanes can be set.
(4) If the left-turn traffic flow threshold ZL is greater than 3.0, at most 3 left-turn lanes can be set, and the left-turn lanes are adjusted in other ways.
3. Judging a straight traffic flow threshold value ZS:
(1) If the straight traffic flow threshold ZS is smaller than 1.0, at least one straight traffic lane is reserved.
(2) If the straight traffic flow threshold ZS is between 1.0 and 2.0, at least 2 straight traffic lanes are reserved.
(3) If the straight traffic flow threshold ZS is between 2.0 and 3.0, at least 2 straight lanes are reserved, and at most 3 straight lanes can be set.
(4) If the straight traffic flow threshold value ZS is larger than 3.0, 3 straight lanes can be set at most and are adjusted in other modes.
4. Judging a right-turn traffic flow threshold value ZR:
(1) If the right-turn traffic threshold ZR is between 0-1.0, it is contemplated to use a straight right-turn common lane.
(2) If the right-turn traffic flow threshold ZR is larger than 1.0, at least 1 right-turn special lane is reserved.
