Description

直覺式節能駕駛輔助方法與系統 Intuitive energy-saving driving assistance method and system

本發明係一種節能駕駛輔助系統,尤指一種可依據道路狀況直接提供駕駛人節能指示的直覺式節能駕駛輔助系統。 The invention relates to an energy-saving driving assistance system, in particular to an intuitive energy-saving driving assistance system capable of directly providing a driver's energy-saving indication according to road conditions.

現有使用燃油的車輛皆面臨能源價格高漲與燃油廢氣排放法規日趨嚴格的問題,因此各車輛製造廠無不積極研發新的技術,以增加燃油的使用效率並降低車輛廢氣的排放污染。 Existing vehicles that use fuel oil are facing the problem of high energy prices and increasingly strict regulations on fuel gas emissions. Therefore, all vehicle manufacturers are actively developing new technologies to increase fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle emissions.

為增加燃油的使用效率並降低車輛廢氣排放污染,現有技術概可分為針對車輛的製造技術進行改良以及針對駕駛人的耗油駕駛行為進行提示兩大類,其中,對於車輛製造技術改良的技術,例如發展高燃繞效率的引擎系統與低耗能的變速系統、利用輕量化材料製造車體、採用油電混合動力系統與煞車動能回收系統以及STOP/START怠速熄火系統等,可減少車輛行駛或怠速時的油耗及廢氣排放污染,但是駕駛人的駕駛行為若無法配合進行省油操控,仍會影響車輛整體的油耗及廢氣污染,而且會增加車輛系統的複雜度與製造成本。 In order to increase the efficiency of fuel use and reduce the pollution of vehicle exhaust emissions, the prior art can be divided into two categories for improving the manufacturing technology of the vehicle and for prompting the driver's fuel-consuming driving behavior, wherein, for the technology of vehicle manufacturing technology improvement, For example, the development of high-efficiency engine systems and low-energy shifting systems, the use of lightweight materials to manufacture the car body, the use of hybrid electric power systems and brake kinetic energy recovery systems, and STOP/START idling systems can reduce vehicle travel or Fuel consumption and exhaust emissions during idling, but if the driver's driving behavior can not cooperate with fuel-saving control, it will still affect the overall fuel consumption and exhaust pollution of the vehicle, and will increase the complexity and manufacturing cost of the vehicle system.

而對於駕駛人的耗油駕駛行為進行提示的技術,例如透過擷取車輛的車身訊號、引擎訊號、車輛動態訊號以及分析駕駛行為模式等,提示駕駛人車輛的瞬間油耗以及警示高油耗的駕駛行為,令駕駛人可知道車輛當下的油耗狀 況,不過車輛進行耗油行為提示時是透過擷取車輛的各種訊號,無法即時且真實地反應各種道路的交通狀況並進行建議或調整,意即車輛需在車輛發生耗油的行為且經訊號處理後才會得到警示,因此車輛的駕駛人在行駛過程中仍會發生耗油的駕駛行為,例如車輛加速超車時,即可能發出高油耗駕駛行為的誤警示。 The technique of prompting the driver's fuel-consuming driving behavior, for example, by capturing the vehicle body signal, the engine signal, the vehicle dynamic signal, and analyzing the driving behavior pattern, prompts the driver's vehicle's instantaneous fuel consumption and alerts the high fuel consumption driving behavior. To let the driver know the fuel consumption of the vehicle However, when the fuel consumption behavior of the vehicle is prompted by the various signals of the vehicle, it is impossible to immediately and truly reflect the traffic conditions of various roads and make suggestions or adjustments, that is, the vehicle needs to consume fuel in the vehicle and the signal is transmitted. After the treatment, the warning will be obtained, so the driver of the vehicle will still have fuel-consuming driving behavior during the driving process. For example, when the vehicle accelerates overtaking, it may cause a false alarm of high fuel consumption driving behavior.

如中國大陸發明專利申請第CN200910191113號之「汽車安全與節油操控輔助提示系統及輔助提示方法」,主要是於車身上安裝多種車用感測器,例如轉向轉角感測器、油門感測器、煞車感測器、車速感測器、坡度感測器、加速度感測器等,再由中央處理單元分別接收各感測器的訊號,藉由擷取車身的動態訊號或是對駕駛行為進行分析,以提供駕駛人轉向與油門踩踏的指引;由於車輛需裝設多數個感測器造成系統結構複雜的問題,且該操控輔助提示系統僅能被動地接收感測器的資訊,無法針對實際路況提供省油的指引。 For example, the "Automotive Safety and Fuel-Saving Control Auxiliary Reminder System and Auxiliary Reminder Method" of the Chinese Patent Application No. CN200910191113 is mainly for installing a variety of vehicle sensors on the vehicle body, such as a steering angle sensor and a throttle sensor. , the brake sensor, the vehicle speed sensor, the slope sensor, the acceleration sensor, etc., and then the central processing unit receives the signals of the sensors respectively, by taking the dynamic signal of the vehicle body or performing the driving behavior Analysis to provide guidance for the driver's steering and accelerator pedaling; due to the complex structure of the vehicle due to the need to install a large number of sensors, and the steering assistance prompt system can only passively receive sensor information, can not be practical Road conditions provide fuel-efficient guidelines.

由上述可知,現有車輛雖可透過改良車輛製造技術與提示駕駛人耗油駕駛行為,以減少部份油耗及廢氣排放污染,但需要設置多數個感測器以偵測車輛狀態,而有系統複雜且設置成本高的問題,且車輛的油耗狀況仍會受到駕駛人的駕駛行為影響,而油耗行為提示裝置僅能被動地依據車輛狀況提供油耗提示,無法即時地反應道路狀況並修正耗油的駕駛行為,因此仍會發生耗油的缺點。 It can be seen from the above that although the existing vehicles can improve the vehicle manufacturing technology and prompt the driver's fuel-consuming driving behavior to reduce part of fuel consumption and exhaust pollution, it is necessary to provide a plurality of sensors to detect the state of the vehicle, and the system is complicated. Moreover, the problem of high cost is set, and the fuel consumption condition of the vehicle is still affected by the driving behavior of the driver, and the fuel consumption behavior prompting device can only passively provide the fuel consumption prompt according to the vehicle condition, unable to instantly reflect the road condition and correct the fuel consumption driving. Behavior, so the disadvantages of fuel consumption still occur.

如前揭所述,現有車輛的省油技術與雖可減少部份油耗及廢氣排放污染,但具有系統複雜且設置成本高的問題,且會受到駕駛人的駕駛行為影響,而油耗行為提示僅能被動地提供油耗提示,無法即時地反應道路狀況仍會發生耗油的問題,因此本發明主要目的在提供一種直覺式節能駕駛輔助方法與系統,主要是利用取像裝置取得道路狀態並結合車身訊號與障礙物偵測,以主動提供節能駕駛行為提示,解決現有車輛欲進行節能改良而具有系統複雜與高成本以及解決僅能被動提供油耗提示,無法即時地反應道路狀況而具有耗油的問題。 As mentioned above, the fuel-saving technology of the existing vehicle can reduce the fuel consumption and exhaust emission pollution, but has the problems of complicated system and high installation cost, and is affected by the driving behavior of the driver, and the fuel consumption behavior prompt can only be Passively providing fuel consumption prompts, unable to immediately reflect the problem of fuel consumption in road conditions, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide an intuitive energy-saving driving assistance method and system, mainly using the image capturing device to obtain the road state and combined with the body signal And obstacle detection, to actively provide tips for energy-saving driving behavior, to solve the problem that existing vehicles want to carry out energy-saving improvement, system complexity and high cost, and to solve the problem of only providing fuel consumption passively, unable to instantly reflect road conditions and having fuel consumption.
