The vehicle may be an internal combustion engine vehicle using an internal combustion engine as a drive source, an electric vehicle or a fuel cell vehicle using an electric motor as a drive source, a hybrid vehicle using both of the above as drive sources, or a vehicle having another drive source.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing a vehicle mounted with a driving assistance system according to a first embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the host vehicle 10 includes a driving assistance system 100. Well-known power and steering devices, transmission systems, and like components of the host vehicle 10 are not shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of brevity. The drive assist system 100 according to the first embodiment of the invention is capable of determining the high-beam and low-beam switching meaning corresponding to the high-beam and low-beam switching rule from the host vehicle information of the host vehicle 10 to avoid the driver of the host vehicle 10 misusing the high-beam and low-beam switching rule.
As shown in fig. 1, the driving assistance system 100 may include a storage device 110, an acquisition device 120, and a control device 130.
The storage device 110 may store the high beam and low beam switching rules. The high beam and low beam switching rules may correspond to a geographical area. The geographical area refers to a map area having a separate high beam and low beam switching rule, for example, country, province, region, and the like. The high beam and low beam switching rule means that a certain geographical area defines or defines a meaning when the headlights are switched between the high beam and the low beam under a certain scene or a certain state. It is generally stated that: different high-low beam switches represent different meanings or transmit different signals. However, the same high beam and low beam switching may indicate different meaning or convey different signals in different geographical areas. In addition, the same high beam and low beam switching may also represent different meanings or convey different signals in different scenarios.
The storage 110 may be an internal memory of the host vehicle 10 (e.g., a vehicle-mounted navigation device) or an external memory connectable to the host vehicle 10 (e.g., a removable memory electrically connectable to the host vehicle 10 as a peripheral device of the host vehicle 10, or a remote database accessible wirelessly, etc.).
The acquisition means 120 may acquire the host vehicle information of the host vehicle 10. The host vehicle information may include real-time location information, high and low beam switching information, vehicle status information, and ambient environment information.
According to the present embodiment, the acquisition device 120 may acquire real-time position information of the host vehicle 10 from the positioning system. The positioning system may be a satellite based positioning system (GNSS), a base station based positioning system (GSM), a Wi-Fi bluetooth based positioning system, etc. However, the present invention is not limited. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the obtaining device 120 may also obtain real-time location information of the host vehicle 10 from a navigation system (e.g., an in-vehicle navigation device).
According to the present embodiment, the acquisition means 120 may acquire the high and low beam switching information and the vehicle state information of the host vehicle 10 via the controller area network CAN bus. The high-low beam switching information indicates information related to high-low beam switching of the host vehicle 10, including but not limited to: the turn-on of the high beam, the duration of the high beam, the turn-on of the dipped headlight, the duration of the dipped headlight, the number of switching times between the high beam and the dipped headlight, etc. The vehicle state information represents information related to the running state of the host vehicle 10, including, but not limited to, speed, acceleration, steering angle, and indicator light state.
According to the present embodiment, the acquisition device 120 may acquire the surrounding environment information of the host vehicle 10 via the detection device mounted to the host vehicle 10. The surrounding environment information represents information related to the current running environment of the host vehicle 10, including but not limited to: road type, road congestion level, traffic control, and surface water accumulation. According to the present embodiment, the detection device may include an image pickup unit and an image processing unit. The camera unit may be installed in front of, behind, or otherwise in the host vehicle 10, and may include a general camera, an infrared camera, and the like. The camera unit is capable of capturing (e.g., operating at an angle of about 60 °) images of the environment surrounding the host vehicle 10 in real time. The environment image includes a still image, a stereoscopic image, and/or a moving image. The image processing unit may analyze the surrounding environment information of the host vehicle based on the received environment image. For example, the image processing unit may determine whether the host vehicle 10 is traveling on an expressway or a city road by analyzing the received environment image.
The control device 130 may be in wired or wireless communication with the storage device 110 and the acquisition device 120. According to the present embodiment, the control device 130 may search the storage device 110 for the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographical area where the host vehicle 10 is located, based on the real-time position information of the host vehicle 10.
After finding the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographical area where the host vehicle 10 is located, the control device 130 may match the host vehicle information with the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographical area where the host vehicle 10 is located to determine the high-beam and low-beam switching meaning.
In general, the high-low beam switching rules are related to one or more of the high-low beam switching information, the vehicle state information, and the surrounding environment information of the host vehicle 10. For example, the high and low beam switching rules may specify, but are not limited to specifying the following situations: when the surrounding environment information indicates that the host vehicle 10 is traveling in a lane or a place where a blind area of vision is likely to occur, switching the high beam and the low beam of the host vehicle 10 three times indicates to remind the coming vehicle or the pedestrian of paying attention; when the surrounding environment information indicates that there are pedestrians and non-motor vehicles around the host vehicle 10 that cross the road regardless of the traffic regulations, the strobing or changing of the high beam from the low beam to the high beam of the host vehicle 10 indicates dissuading pedestrians and non-motor vehicles that cross the road at will from colliding with the host vehicle 10, and so on.
Therefore, the control device 130 may match the high-beam and low-beam switching information, the vehicle state information, and the surrounding environment information in the host vehicle information with the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographical area where the host vehicle 10 is located. In the case where the degree of matching is higher than one or more predetermined thresholds, the control device 130 may determine, in the high-low beam switching rule, the high-low beam switching meaning that matches the high-low beam switching information, the vehicle state information, and the surrounding environment information in the host vehicle information.
After determining the high-low beam switching meaning of the host vehicle 10, the control device 130 may output the high-low beam switching meaning. According to the present embodiment, the control device 130 may output the high beam and low beam switching meaning in a visual or audible manner. In one example, the control device 130 may display the high-beam and low-beam switching meaning in the form of text, patterns, images, video, and the like via a component such as an instrument panel, a navigation device, and/or a video device of the host vehicle 10. For example, the control device 130 may display, for example, a text or the like indicating that the vehicle or the pedestrian is reminded of the coming vehicle or the pedestrian through an in-vehicle display screen (e.g., a Head Up Display (HUD), a navigation display, or the like). In another example, the control device 130 may issue a voice or other audible form of high beam and low beam switching meaning via components of the host vehicle 10 such as a navigation device, audio device, buzzer, and/or alarm. For example, the control device 130 may emit a sound or the like indicating that the driver is alerted to the coming vehicle or pedestrian by the navigation device by switching the high beam and the low beam three times.
A driving assist method according to a second embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a driving assistance method 200 according to a second embodiment of the invention. The driving assistance method 200 is executed by the driving assistance system 100 described above.
As shown in fig. 2, in step S210, a high beam and low beam switching rule is acquired. The high beam and low beam switching rules may correspond to a geographical area. According to the present embodiment, the high beam and low beam switching rules may be acquired from an internal memory of the host vehicle 10 (e.g., a car navigation device) or an external memory that is connectable to the host vehicle 10 (e.g., a removable memory that is electrically connectable to the host vehicle 10 as a peripheral device of the host vehicle 10, or a remote database that is wirelessly accessible, or the like). The high beam and low beam switching rule means that a certain geographical area is defined or contracted to be switched to high beam and low beam in a certain scene or in a certain state. The method 200 then proceeds to step S220.
In step S220, host vehicle information of the host vehicle is acquired. According to the present embodiment, the host vehicle information includes real-time position information, high-low beam switching information, vehicle state information, and surrounding environment information. The real-time location information of the host vehicle 10 may be obtained from a positioning system. The high and low beam switching information and the vehicle state information of the host vehicle 10 may be acquired via a controller area network CAN bus. The high-low beam switching information indicates information related to high-low beam switching of the host vehicle 10, including but not limited to: the turn-on of the high beam, the duration of the high beam, the turn-on of the dipped headlight, the duration of the dipped headlight, the number of switching times between the high beam and the dipped headlight, etc. The vehicle state information represents information related to the running state of the host vehicle 10, including but not limited to speed, acceleration, steering angle, and indicator light state. The surrounding environment information may be acquired of the host vehicle 10 via a detection device mounted to the host vehicle 10. The surrounding environment information represents information related to the current running environment of the host vehicle 10, including but not limited to: road type, road congestion level, traffic control, and surface water accumulation. The detection device mounted to the first vehicle has been described in detail above and will not be described in detail here. The method 200 then proceeds to step S230.
In step S230, the high beam and low beam switching rule is searched. According to the present embodiment, the high-and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographical area where the host vehicle 10 is located may be found from the high-and low-beam switching rules acquired at step S210 based on the real-time position information of the host vehicle 10. Next, the method proceeds to step S240.
In step S240, the high beam and low beam switching meaning is determined.
In general, the high beam and low beam switching rule is closely related to a geographical area, a vehicle driving environment, and a vehicle driving state. The high beam and low beam switching rules may specify, but are not limited to specifying the following: when the surrounding environment information indicates that the host vehicle 10 is traveling in a lane, a alley, or a place where a blind area is likely to occur, the high beam and the low beam of the host vehicle 10 are switched three times to indicate that the coming vehicle or the pedestrian is reminded of paying attention; when the surrounding environment information indicates that there are pedestrians and non-motor vehicles crossing the road at will around the host vehicle 10, the strobing or changing of the high beam from the low beam to the high beam of the host vehicle 10 indicates discouraging pedestrians and non-motor vehicles crossing the road at will from colliding with the automobile, and so on.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to match the high-beam and low-beam switching information, the vehicle state information, and the surrounding environment information in the host vehicle information with the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographical area where the host vehicle 10 is located. Specifically, one or more of the high-beam and low-beam switching information, the vehicle state information, and the surrounding environment information may be matched with a corresponding one or more of the high-beam and low-beam switching rules. In the case where the degree of matching is higher than one or more predetermined thresholds, it may be determined that the far-and-near light switching rule at this time is the far-and-near light switching meaning that matches the far-and-near light switching information, the vehicle state information, and the surrounding environment information in the host vehicle information. Next, the method proceeds to step S250.
In step S250, the high beam and low beam switching meaning is output. According to the present embodiment, the high beam and low beam switching meaning can be output visually or audibly. In one example, the high beam and low beam switching meaning may be displayed in the form of text, patterns, images, video, etc. via components of the dashboard, navigation device, and/or video device of the host vehicle 10. In another example, the high beam and low beam switching meaning may be emitted as a voice or other audio form via components of the host vehicle 10 such as a navigation device, audio device, buzzer, and/or alarm.
A driving assist system according to a third embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing a vehicle mounted with a driving assist system according to a third embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the host vehicle 30 includes a driving assistance system 300. Well-known power and steering devices, transmission systems, etc. in the host vehicle 30 are not shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of brevity. The driving assistance system 300 according to the third embodiment of the invention will determine the meaning of the high beam and low beam switching of the other vehicle from both the host vehicle information of the host vehicle 10 and the other vehicle information of the other vehicle.

The first obtaining device 321 may obtain first vehicle information of the first vehicle. The first vehicle may be a host vehicle 10. The first vehicle information includes real-time location information, first vehicle status information, and ambient environment information of the first vehicle.
According to the present embodiment, the first obtaining device 321 may obtain real-time position information of the first vehicle from the positioning system. The positioning system comprises a satellite-based positioning system (GNSS), a base station-based positioning system (GSM), a Wi-Fi Bluetooth-based positioning system and the like. However, the present invention is not limited.

According to the present embodiment, the first acquisition means 321 may acquire the surrounding environment information of the first vehicle via the detection means mounted to the first vehicle. The surrounding environment information represents information related to the current running environment of the first vehicle, including but not limited to: road type, road congestion level, traffic control, and surface water accumulation. According to the present embodiment, the detection device may include an image pickup unit and an image processing unit. The camera unit may be installed in front of, behind, or otherwise to the first vehicle, and may include a general camera, an infrared camera, and the like. The camera unit is capable of capturing (e.g., operating at an angle of around 60 °) an image of the environment around the first vehicle in real time. The environment image includes a still image, a stereoscopic image, and/or a moving image. The image processing unit may analyze the surrounding environment information of the host vehicle based on the received environment image. For example, the image processing unit may determine whether the first vehicle is traveling on an expressway or on a city road by analyzing the received environment image.
The second obtaining device 322 may obtain second vehicle information of the second vehicle. The second vehicle is in the same geographic area as the first vehicle. The second vehicle may be other vehicles around the first vehicle, such as a rear vehicle of the first vehicle and an incoming vehicle of an opposite lane, and the like. The second vehicle state information includes high beam and low beam switching information and second vehicle state information. The high-low beam switching information indicates information related to high-low beam switching of the second vehicle, including but not limited to: the turn-on of the high beam, the duration of the high beam, the turn-on of the dipped headlight, the duration of the dipped headlight, the number of switching times between the high beam and the dipped headlight, etc. The second vehicle state information represents information related to a running state of the second vehicle, including, but not limited to, speed, acceleration, steering angle, and indicator light state.
According to the present embodiment, the second acquisition means 322 may acquire the second vehicle information of the second vehicle via the detection means mounted to the first vehicle. The detection device has been described in detail above, and will not be described in detail here.
The control device 330 may be in wired or wireless communication with the storage device 310, the first acquisition device 321, and the second acquisition device 322. According to the present embodiment, the control device 330 may search the storage device 310 for the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographic area where the first vehicle is located, that is, the high-beam and low-beam switching rule corresponding to the geographic area where the second vehicle is located, based on the real-time location information of the first vehicle, because the first vehicle and the second vehicle are in the same geographic area.
After finding the high-beam and low-beam switching rules corresponding to the geographic areas where the first vehicle and the second vehicle are located, the control device 330 may match both the first vehicle information and the second vehicle information with the high-beam and low-beam switching rules corresponding to the geographic areas where the first vehicle and the second vehicle are located to determine the high-beam and low-beam switching meaning of the second vehicle.
In general, the high-beam/low-beam switching rule is associated with both first vehicle information of the first vehicle and second vehicle information of the second vehicle.
