📝 摘要(中文)
当前高速公路运营依赖于基于规则和孤立模型,这限制了跨系统知识的联合分析。大型语言模型(LLMs)在智能交通中的应用逐渐增多,但通用LLMs无法有效理解高速公路领域中非常规场景的法规和事件因果关系。因此,本文构建了一个针对高速公路的预训练多模态大型语言模型ExpressMind,作为智能高速公路运营的认知核心。我们构建了行业首个全栈高速公路数据集,提出了基于自监督训练和无监督学习的双层LLM预训练范式,并引入了动态索引的图增强RAG框架。通过开发与专家问题解决启发式一致的RL对齐思维链机制,增强了高速公路事件响应策略的推理能力。实验表明,ExpressMind在事件检测、安全响应生成和复杂交通分析方面全面超越现有基线。

📄 摘要(原文)
The current expressway operation relies on rule-based and isolated models, which limits the ability to jointly analyze knowledge across different systems. Meanwhile, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied in intelligent transportation, advancing traffic models from algorithmic to cognitive intelligence. However, general LLMs are unable to effectively understand the regulations and causal relationships of events in unconventional scenarios in the expressway field. Therefore, this paper constructs a pre-trained multimodal large language model (MLLM) for expressways, ExpressMind, which serves as the cognitive core for intelligent expressway operations. This paper constructs the industry's first full-stack expressway dataset, encompassing traffic knowledge texts, emergency reasoning chains, and annotated video events to overcome data scarcity. This paper proposes a dual-layer LLM pre-training paradigm based on self-supervised training and unsupervised learning. Additionally, this study introduces a Graph-Augmented RAG framework to dynamically index the expressway knowledge base. To enhance reasoning for expressway incident response strategies, we develop a RL-aligned Chain-of-Thought (RL-CoT) mechanism that enforces consistency between model reasoning and expert problem-solving heuristics for incident handling. Finally, ExpressMind integrates a cross-modal encoder to align the dynamic feature sequences under the visual and textual channels, enabling it to understand traffic scenes in both video and image modalities. Extensive experiments on our newly released multi-modal expressway benchmark demonstrate that ExpressMind comprehensively outperforms existing baselines in event detection, safety response generation, and complex traffic analysis.
