A kind of autonomous follower method of the vehicles and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to automation control area, particularly to a kind of autonomous follower method of the vehicles and system.Additionally, this autonomous follower method and System is particularly suitable for application as supplementing and upgrading of current vehicle driving control method.
Background technology
Automatic Pilot, since the nineties, each industrial power of the world has all put into a large amount of man power and material and has researched and developed it, existing so far Portioned product can be fully achieved in the case of road conditions is simple and be not required to the Function for Automatic Pilot that people intervenes, but its system is extremely complex, cost intensive.
At present in part automated driving system, can pass through various kinds of sensors, it is achieved follow driving function, by range unit, velocity sensor, Rotary angle transmitter and external environment condition sensor etc., get target travel information, and analyze these information self speed of adjustment and direction, reach to follow Purpose, but the method is excessively simple, is easily lost target.
In existing system for tracking, target will be followed as sole purpose, give no thought to the security risk followed, as the handling capacity of target and this Vehicles gap is huge, and surrounding is not suitable for these vehicles, self power performance is not enough, is likely to bring danger to following the vehicles Danger.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention provides a kind of autonomous follower method of the vehicles and system, its object is to: reduce driver workload, solve independently with The problem easily following failure with system because losing target, reduces the security risk during following.
The present invention can be used for conventional vehicles control system is carried out upgrading, it is possible to merges inside the automated driving system embedding the vehicles, As a kind of supplementary control method.
The autonomous follower method of a kind of vehicles in the present invention and system step: first select target vehicle feature, follow the vehicles and use many Individual sensor carries out automatic tracing to the feature of target vehicle, and feature may include but be not limited to color, pattern, word, electromagnetic signal, sound wave Deng or manifold assemblage characteristic, and analyze this target vehicle movement locus, it may include but be not limited to acceleration and deceleration, change direction etc., simultaneously This is followed the vehicles and uses multiple sensors to be analyzed surrounding and self-condition, it may include but it is not limited to biological close, wind speed, road Footpath flatness, barrier, this instrument jolt degree, power source danger, energy deficiency etc., control this traffic work in the case of self is without security risk Tool is followed target vehicle and is moved, and is immediately switched to autonomous driving or pilot steering pattern when target vehicle is followed the trail of unsuccessfully, its flow process such as figure Shown in 1.
The mode controlling the vehicles can use the directly analog subscriber operation such as conventional hydraulic action device, servomotor, it is also possible to accesses the vehicles Existing electric-control system, is directly controlled by the form sending control signal.
When select target vehicle feature time, should first select sensor type, in order to this sensor of system start-up, sensor type can include but not Being limited to ccd sensor, infrared sensor, range sensor, electromagnetic signal sensor, pick up etc., sensor requirements has multiple, in order to be Unite as redundancy, noise reduction, lifting systematic function, increase New function.
Detection to surrounding should be carried out automatically, is not required to user and participates in, and investigative range suitably should extend in multiple directions, the sensor class that should use Type may include but be not limited to ccd sensor, biosensor, air velocity transducer, gyroscope, range sensor etc..
Detection to this vehicle status can have user to participate in determining, the method requires need to know these vehicles partial parameters value in advance, it may include But be not limited to these vehicles grow tall width, power source Safety output value, power source limit output valve, energy minimum safe value, Mechanical Structure Strength, Safe acceleration, limit acceleration, and require to get all known instantaneous parameterses that these vehicles are current, it may include but be not limited to speed, Direction, the angle of pitch, attitude, overall jitter frequency and amplitude.
More excellent, the method is followed the vehicles and should detect and record the safe stopping distance in current environment and evasive maneuvering target at the volley The distance of the vehicles, controls to follow the vehicles and target vehicle and keeps this distance, and in target vehicle brake hard or have an accident Time, adopt right measures and reduce the danger following the vehicles.
More excellent, the method is followed the vehicles and should detect degree of stability and degree of jolting, the degree of stability i.e. mesh of target vehicle at the volley In the range of whether the mobility of the mark vehicles is in safe kinetic parameter, the overall jitter journey of degree of jolting target vehicle the most under the present circumstances Degree, when degree of stability, degree of jolting and speed are comprehensively analyzed beyond when following vehicle safety value, alerts user.
More excellent, the method should with autonomous driving system with the use of, when autonomous system for tracking starts, autonomous driving system also should start and at any time simultaneously Prepare switching mutually, when sensor is lost and followed the tracks of target vehicle, autonomous driving system should be immediately switched to, and alert user.
More excellent, the method, after target vehicle lost by sensor, should be immediately switched to autonomous driving system, and according to the letter collected before The position of breath prediction target vehicle, accelerates pursuit, until surpassing the expectation value or user abandons following.
More excellent, in the method after target vehicle lost by sensor, sensor investigative range should be increased, attempt again tracking target, when Again find to switch to autonomous system for tracking from autonomous driving system immediately during target, continue to follow.
The technique effect obtained after using the present invention is: utilize autonomous system for tracking to decrease the workload of driver;Utilize and attempt chasing after after losing target Again follow function after catching up with function and finding target and improve the stability of the system of following;Utilize the analysis of target vehicle labile state, right The detection of surrounding and the monitoring to oneself state improve safety when independently following.
