Compound Positioning Method for Connected Electric Vehicles Based on Multi-Source Data Fusion

Abstract

With the development of electrified transportation, electric vehicle positioning technology plays an important role in improving comprehensive urban management ability. However, the traditional positioning methods based on the global positioning system (GPS) or roadside single sensors make it hard to meet requirements of high-precision positioning. Considering the advantages of various sensors in the cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system (CVIS), this paper proposes a compound positioning method for connected electric vehicles (CEVs) based on multi-source data fusion technology, which can provide data support for the CVIS. Firstly, Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory is used to fuse the position probability in multi-sensor detection information, and screen vehicle existence information. Then, a hybrid neural network model based on a long short-term (LSTM) framework is constructed to fit the mapping relationship between measured and undetermined coordinates. Moreover, the fused data are proceeded as the input of the hybrid LSTM model, which can export the vehicular real-time compound positioning information. Finally, an intersection in Shijingshan District, Beijing is selected as the test field for trajectory information collection of CEVs. The experimental results have shown that the uncertainty of fusion data can be reduced to 0.38% of the original level, and the maximum error of real-time positioning accuracy is less than 0.0905 m based on the hybrid LSTM model, which can verify the effectiveness of the model.

“…In [45] the authors present the benefits of the cooperation of different sensors in the so-called Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure System (CVIS) in the context of Connected Electric Vehicles (CEVs). The approach is based on the merging of different data coming from different devices in supporting the cooperative system.…”

Efficient Management of Energy Consumption of Electric Vehicles Using Machine Learning—A Systematic and Comprehensive Survey

“…Data augmentation is a helpful approach for designing an ML model since it allows researchers to increase the size of the learning data without having to acquire new data [125]. Fusion of multi-source dataset, including historical velocity data, video, or image information, also can significantly enhance the training and performance of ML models in optimizing energy consumption [179]. By combining different data sources, the model can capture a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying patterns and relationships within the energy system.…”

Research on mechanical fault diagnosis based on MADS evidence fusion theory

“…Multi-source sensor information fusion for mechanical fault diagnosis is still in its infancy due to its complexity and feature extraction and fusion issues [24,25]. Due to the rapid development of deep learning-related research results, designing a complete fault diagnosis system based on multi-source information fusion using deep learning to realize the algorithm structure, including data preprocessing, classifiers, and evidence fusion, has become important [26,27]. Ghosh et al [28] discovered an evidence theory and multiinformation fusion to effectively-identified composite faults and provided maintenance instructions for composite fault diagnosis by fussing several maximal statistical distances and identifying fault classes technique.…”
