Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail by the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
The driving control method provided by the embodiment of the invention is realized in an unmanned vehicle and used for automatically identifying and controlling the start and stop of the vehicle according to signal lamps on a road, and the flow chart of the method is shown in figure 1 and comprises the following steps:
step 110, the vehicle control unit receives an automatic driving conversion instruction and works according to the automatic driving conversion instruction;
specifically, the unmanned vehicle comprises a vehicle control unit, a traffic equipment communication unit and a sensing unit. The vehicle control unit may be understood as a control module for controlling the vehicle to travel. The traffic device communication unit can be understood as a module dedicated to communication with the infrastructure in the road, and the traffic device communication unit can acquire traffic device signals within the radiation range of the traffic device signals according to the communication protocol. The basic traffic facilities in the road mainly involved in the embodiment are traffic lights. The sensing unit may be understood as a module that senses the surroundings of the vehicle. The perception unit comprises a laser radar module, an ultrasonic radar module and a camera module. The laser radar module and the ultrasonic radar module are used for detecting nearby objects of a vehicle body. The camera module is used for acquiring images of the environment conditions of 360 degrees around the vehicle.
When the vehicle control unit receives an automatic driving switching instruction input by a user, the unmanned vehicle enters an automatic driving mode. The automatic drive-over command may be entered by the user via a display screen in the unmanned vehicle or may be entered remotely via a server or other remote control device.
It should be noted that, the unmanned vehicle in the embodiment of the present invention includes not only the vehicle control unit, the transportation device communication unit, and the sensing unit, but also only the units related to the present technical solution in this embodiment, and a person skilled in the art may set other related devices or units for implementing the driving of the unmanned vehicle according to needs.
Preferably, the signal radiation range of the traffic equipment is five hundred meters in radius.
Step 120, the vehicle control unit monitors traffic equipment signals in the monitoring range through the traffic equipment communication unit;
specifically, the signal lamps on the road are provided with devices capable of radiating traffic equipment signals outwards, and the vehicle control unit can monitor the traffic equipment signals in the monitoring range through the traffic equipment communication unit. The traffic device communication unit may receive the traffic device signal output from the signal lamp when the vehicle enters a radiation range of the traffic device signal output from the signal lamp.
More specifically, the vehicle control unit first obtains vehicle driving route information according to the driving task, that is, obtains an implementation route that the vehicle needs to follow, then determines vehicle driving direction information according to the vehicle driving route information, that is, determines the driving direction of the current vehicle, and finally determines that the traffic equipment signal in the direction corresponding to the vehicle driving direction information is the traffic equipment signal that needs to be further processed by the vehicle control unit. This process may be understood as a process of determining which particular one of a plurality of signal lights in the intersection is the signal light that the current vehicle needs to observe.
The traffic device signal includes traffic device status information and a traffic device change time. The traffic device status information may be understood as the status of the current signal light, indicating whether the current signal light is a red light, a yellow light, or a green light. The traffic device change time can be understood to mean the time required for the current signal light to enter the next state. For example, if the current signal light is a red light and turns to a green light after fifty seconds, the traffic equipment state information in the traffic equipment signal acquired by the vehicle is "red light", and the traffic equipment change time is "fifty seconds".
The vehicle control unit monitors the traffic equipment signals in the monitoring range through the traffic equipment communication unit, and meanwhile, the vehicle control unit obtains vehicle environment information through the sensing unit. The vehicle environment information includes data reflecting the current environment state of the vehicle in the form of image data, video data, radar data, and the like.
Step 130, the vehicle control unit obtains the predicted vehicle passing time according to the vehicle speed data and the distance to be passed;
specifically, first, the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information, and determines the distance to be passed according to the information in the vehicle environment information. The passing distance is the distance between the vehicle and the signal lamp plus the reserved parking distance or the distance between the vehicle and the parking line. When the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information, the distance between the vehicle and the signal lamp and the distance between the vehicle and the stop line are obtained, and the distance between the vehicle and the stop line is used as the distance to be passed. After the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information, only the distance between the vehicle and the signal lamp is obtained, and the distance between the vehicle and the signal lamp plus the reserved parking distance is used as the distance to be passed. That is, when both a traffic light and a stop line can be recognized in the front road image represented by the vehicle environment information, the vehicle needs to stop before the stop line instead of the traffic light, and thus the distance between the vehicle and the stop line is taken as the distance data between the vehicle and the traffic equipment. When only the signal lamp can be identified in the front road image represented by the vehicle environment information, the vehicle only needs to stop at a certain distance in front of the signal lamp, and therefore the distance between the vehicle and the signal lamp and the preset reserved stopping distance are required to be used as the passing distance.
Then, the vehicle control unit needs to obtain the predicted vehicle passing time from the current vehicle speed data and the to-be-passed distance. The predicted vehicle passing time may be understood as a time required for the vehicle to pass the to-be-passed distance.
Step 140, determining the state of the traffic equipment signal, and determining whether the time for the vehicle to pass through the traffic equipment is greater than the change time of the traffic equipment;
specifically, the traffic device signals may be classified according to the traffic device status information into a first traffic device signal representing that the current signal light is "green light", a second traffic device signal representing that the current signal light is "yellow light", and a third traffic device signal representing that the current signal light is "red light". When the traffic equipment communication unit receives the traffic equipment signal, it is indicated that a signal lamp is arranged in front of the vehicle driving direction, and the vehicle is required to make a corresponding control response according to the state of the signal lamp. And, when the vehicle makes corresponding control response, still need to combine current vehicle speed, confirm with vehicle current speed whether can pass the signal lamp in the time of signal lamp change light.
More specifically, when the traffic device signal is the first traffic device signal of "green light" and the time for the vehicle to pass through the traffic device is longer than the traffic device change time, it indicates that the vehicle cannot pass through the traffic light at the current speed within the change time for the traffic light to change from "green light" to "red light", and the following step 150 is executed.
When the traffic device signal is the second traffic device signal of "yellow light", which indicates that the current signal light is "yellow light" requiring the vehicle to run at a reduced speed, the following step 150 is also performed.
When the traffic device signal is the third traffic device signal of "red light" and the time that the vehicle passes through the traffic device is not longer than the traffic device change time, it means that the signal light is not changed from "red light" to "green light" when the vehicle reaches the signal light at the current speed of the vehicle, that is, even if the vehicle has a distance from the signal light stop line, the signal light is still "red light" when the vehicle travels to the stop line, and the following step 150 is also performed.
In some preferred embodiments, the vehicle control unit not only determines the state of the signal light from the traffic device signal, but also assists in determining the state of the signal light by traffic device image information in the vehicle environment information.
More specifically, the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information received through the sensing unit, and determines whether the vehicle environment information includes traffic equipment image information, that is, determines whether a signal lamp is present on a road in the current driving direction. When the vehicle environment information comprises the traffic equipment image information and the traffic equipment communication unit receives the traffic equipment signal, the fact that the signal lamp is arranged in the road in the current driving direction can be determined according to the image in front of the vehicle shown by the vehicle environment information and the received traffic equipment signal. The vehicle control unit determines whether the traffic device signal is the first traffic device signal representing a "green light" based on the traffic device status information in combination with the color of the signal light in the identified traffic device image information.
In some preferred embodiments, in order to avoid the shielding of the vehicle in front, the vehicle environment information acquired by the sensing unit that can capture the signal lamp does not include the traffic equipment image information, and therefore the vehicle needs to keep a certain distance from the vehicle in front so that the vehicle can observe the signal lamp.
Further specifically, when the vehicle control unit determines that a signal lamp is arranged on a road in the current driving direction, and the distance between the vehicle and the signal lamp or the distance between the vehicle and a parking line is smaller than a preset observation distance, the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information acquired through the sensing unit, and determines whether the vehicle environment information includes first obstacle information. The first obstacle information may be understood as a vehicle ahead of the current travel route of the vehicle within a preset range.
When the vehicle environment information includes first obstacle information, which indicates that there may be a vehicle in front of the current vehicle that affects the own vehicle to pass through the signal lamp, the vehicle control unit determines distance data between the vehicle and the first obstacle, that is, determines the distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle, based on the vehicle environment information. When the distance data between the vehicle and the first obstacle is smaller than the preset vehicle distance data, which indicates that the distance between the vehicle and the front vehicle may affect the observation signal lamp of the vehicle, the vehicle control unit generates a deceleration instruction, so that the vehicle works according to the deceleration instruction, and the vehicle and the front vehicle keep a certain distance.
In some preferred embodiments, it is determined whether the current road condition is in a state of waiting in line for passing the signal light before the vehicle control unit determines whether the traffic device signal is the first traffic device signal. If the current road condition is in a state of waiting to pass the signal lamp in line, the vehicle can follow the vehicle in front of the current driving route to wait to pass the signal lamp in line on the premise of keeping a certain distance before the stop line. And if the current road condition is not in a state of waiting for passing the signal lamp in line, the vehicle control unit determines whether the traffic equipment signal is the first traffic equipment signal.
More specifically, when the vehicle environment information includes first obstacle information, which indicates that there may be a vehicle in front of the current vehicle that affects the own vehicle to pass through the signal lamp, the vehicle control unit determines distance data between the vehicle and the first obstacle according to the vehicle environment information. I.e. determining the distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle. After obtaining the distance data of the vehicle and the first obstacle, the vehicle control unit generates a following instruction according to the distance data of the vehicle and the first obstacle and the vehicle speed data and combining with the preset vehicle distance data, namely, generates a following instruction for controlling the running speed and the running direction of the current vehicle according to the distance between the current vehicle and the front vehicle, the running speed of the current vehicle and the preset safe distance required to be kept with the front vehicle, so that the current vehicle follows the front vehicle at a proper speed until the vehicle runs in front of a stop line. How to determine whether the vehicle has traveled ahead of the stop line may be a determination of the distance between the vehicle and the stop line. And the distance between the vehicle and the stop line can be obtained by analyzing the vehicle environment information by the vehicle control unit. The specific determination method may refer to the description in step 130 described below.
150, when the vehicle cannot pass through the signal lamp, the vehicle control unit generates virtual obstacle data according to the distance to be passed;
specifically, when the traffic signal is not the first traffic signal, that is, the current signal light is a "yellow light" requiring the vehicle to run at a reduced speed or a "red light" requiring the vehicle to brake, or when the time for the vehicle to pass through the traffic signal is longer than the time for the vehicle to change, that is, the vehicle cannot pass through the signal light within the time for the signal light to change, the vehicle cannot pass through the signal light. The vehicle control unit treats the signal light as a virtual obstacle so that the vehicle stops in front of the signal light.
More specifically, the vehicle control unit inputs the distance to be passed into the virtual obstacle generating model, and the virtual obstacle generating model generates virtual obstacle data according to the distance to be passed. The virtual obstacle data includes position data and size data of the virtual obstacle.
In some preferred embodiments, when the traffic device signal is a third traffic device signal of "red light" requiring vehicle braking, the vehicle control unit determines a time when the signal light is changed from "red light" to "green light" according to the traffic device change time, and compares the vehicle passing traffic device time and the traffic device change time to determine whether the vehicle passing traffic device time is less than the traffic device change time. When the time for the vehicle to pass through the traffic equipment is longer than the change time of the traffic equipment, the time required for the vehicle to pass through the distance to be passed is longer than the time for changing the signal lamp into the signal lamp, that is, at the current speed of the vehicle, the signal lamp is changed from 'red lamp' into 'green lamp' before the vehicle reaches the stop line of the signal lamp, so that the vehicle can continuously pass through the signal lamp according to the current speed.
Step 160, generating a braking instruction according to the virtual obstacle data and the vehicle speed data, so that the vehicle works according to the braking instruction;
specifically, the vehicle control unit generates a brake instruction that controls braking of the vehicle so that the vehicle can be stopped before a specified position, based on the position data and the size data of the virtual obstacle and the current vehicle speed data.
Step 170, when the signal lamp is changed from 'red light' to 'green light', the vehicle control unit generates a starting instruction for the vehicle to work according to the starting instruction;
specifically, after the vehicle operates according to a braking command, that is, after the vehicle stops at a traffic light, when the traffic light is changed from "red light" to "green light", the vehicle should start with the change of the traffic light without interference in front of the vehicle.
More specifically, the vehicle control unit first determines the time when the signal lamp changes from "red light" to "green light" according to the traffic equipment change time. When the system time reaches the time when the signal lamp is changed from the red lamp to the green lamp, the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information and determines whether the second obstacle information is included in the vehicle environment information. The second obstacle information may be understood as an obstacle that disturbs the vehicle passing the signal light, for example a pedestrian that is still crossing the road at a red light. When the vehicle environment information does not include the second obstacle information, the condition that a road in front of the vehicle meets a vehicle starting requirement is indicated, and the vehicle control unit generates a starting instruction according to the change time of the traffic equipment, so that the vehicle is started according to the change of the signal lamp. When the vehicle environment information includes the second obstacle information, it is described that there is a situation of interfering with the driving of the vehicle in front of the current vehicle, and the vehicle needs to wait for the disappearance of the interfering object, that is, after the vehicle environment information does not include the second obstacle information, the vehicle control unit will generate a start instruction, so that the vehicle starts according to the change of the signal lamp.
Alternatively, after the traffic device communication unit receives the traffic device signal, that is, when the vehicle first observes that there is a traffic light on the road ahead, the vehicle may continuously monitor the traffic device signal and determine whether there is a situation where the traffic light changes from "red light" to "green light". When the traffic equipment communication unit monitors that the traffic equipment signal is changed from a third traffic equipment signal to a first traffic equipment signal, the traffic equipment communication unit indicates that a signal lamp in a road in front is changed from a red lamp to a green lamp, the vehicle control unit analyzes the vehicle environment information, determines whether the vehicle environment information comprises second obstacle information, executes whether the vehicle environment information comprises the second obstacle information, and determines whether a starting instruction is generated.
In some preferred embodiments, the longitudinal acceleration data in the braking command, the deceleration command, the following command and the starting command are all within the preset acceleration data threshold. The preset acceleration data threshold value is-2.5 m/s2To +1.5m/s2
It is understood that the above-mentioned step 120-170 is implemented in the automatic driving process of the whole vehicle.
According to the driving control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, in the automatic driving mode, whether a signal lamp exists in the front of a driving road of the vehicle or not is monitored and sensed through a traffic equipment signal, and the state of the signal lamp is determined, so that the vehicle can determine whether the vehicle needs to stop to wait for the signal lamp or not according to the recognized state of the signal lamp and the current speed, and the vehicle in the automatic driving mode can be driven safely and stably in the road condition with the signal lamp. And whether a signal lamp exists in front of a running road of the vehicle or not is monitored and sensed through the traffic equipment signal, so that the state of the signal lamp can be identified more accurately.
