1. A vehicle control system, comprising an on-board controller and a vehicle state sensor arranged on a vehicle, an environment sensor arranged on both sides of a road, a UAV scanner, a map processor, a vehicle dispatch controller, and a central data processor;
the on-board controller is configured to control driving of the vehicle according to a control instruction sent by the vehicle dispatching controller;
the vehicle state sensor is configured to collect state information of the vehicle and send the state information to the central data processor;
the environment sensor is configured to collect first road environment information of the vehicle and send the first road environment information to the central data processor;
the UAV scanner is configured to collect second road environment information of the vehicle and send the second road environment information to the central data processor;
the central data processor is configured to generate fusion information according to the state information, the first road environment information and the second road environment information, and send the fusion information to the map processor and the vehicle dispatch controller;
the map processor is configured to generate a driving route map of the vehicle according to the fusion information; and
the vehicle dispatch controller is configured to generate the control instruction according to the fusion information and the driving route map,
wherein the environment sensor comprises:
a fixed rod arranged on the road;
a first laser rangefinder, arranged on the fixed rod and configured to collect distance information between the vehicle and the first laser rangefinder, wherein a laser emission direction of the first laser rangefinder is perpendicular to a long axis direction of the road; and
a second laser rangefinder, arranged on the fixed rod and configured to collect distance information between the vehicle and the second laser rangefinder, wherein a laser emission direction of the second laser rangefinder is biased towards an opposite direction of a driving direction of the vehicle and forms an acute angle with the laser emission direction of the first laser rangefinder.
