Description

Driving assistance system and driving assistance method
Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to the field of driving assistance for vehicles, and more particularly to a driving assistance system and a driving assistance method capable of making an early warning on a slippery section.
Background
It is known that the road adhesion coefficient (also known as the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the road surface) determines whether the vehicle is susceptible to slip during driving. In other words, the greater the road adhesion coefficient, the greater the adhesion of the tire to the road, and the less likely the vehicle will slip; conversely, the smaller the road adhesion coefficient, the smaller the adhesion of the tire to the road surface, and the more likely the vehicle will slip. The road surface adhesion coefficient depends mainly on the kind of road surface and the dryness condition. Generally, dry, good asphalt or concrete roads have a relatively high coefficient of adhesion and ice and snow roads have a relatively low coefficient of adhesion.
However, when a driver of a vehicle travels in winter in particular, if the driver selects to go to a slippery road (e.g., a road covered with ice and snow) without knowing whether the road ahead is slippery, the vehicle may enter the slippery road, and the vehicle may not move due to the slippery road surface or even may have a traffic accident.

As shown in fig. 1, except for the vehicle-mounted control deviceThe vehicle 1 includes, in addition to the navigation device 30, a storage device 40, and an in-vehicle sensor 50.

A network. Well-known power and steering devices, drive trains, braking systems, and steering devices in the vehicle 10 are not shown in FIG. 1 for simplicity.
The navigation device 30 may be integrated on the vehicle 2 or may be an external device independent of the vehicle 2. The navigation device 30 may provide the vehicle 2 with a periodically updated real-time location and a specified navigation path.
The storage device 40 may store various types of information, such as road surface adhesion coefficients of various roads, in advance. Fig. 2 shows a corresponding list of road types and road surface adhesion coefficients. As shown in FIG. 2, the road adhesion coefficient for ice or snow surfaces is generally less than 0.2, for wet road surfaces in which standing water is present is generally between 0.2 and 0.4, for gravel road surfaces is generally between 0.4 and 0.8, for wet concrete road surfaces is generally between 0.6 and 0.8, and for dry asphalt road surfaces is generally greater than 0.8.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the in-vehicle sensor 50 may acquire a road surface image of the current position of the vehicle 2 in real time, then perform image recognition processing on the road surface image to determine the road type of the current position of the vehicle 2, and then compare it with the corresponding list of road types and road adhesion coefficients stored in the storage device 40 to estimate the road adhesion coefficient of the current position of the vehicle 2. The road adhesion coefficient of the current position of the vehicle 2 may then be sent to the cloud service device 10 to form part of a road adhesion coefficient sample, which will be described later. In addition to this, the in-vehicle sensor 50 can detect travel information such as displacement, speed, and acceleration of the vehicle 2.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cloud service device 10 may calculate the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of each road unit in the plurality of road units in the predetermined time period according to the road surface adhesion coefficient samples from the vehicle 2. "road unit" means the smallest geographical unit used for estimating the road adhesion coefficient. Several road units may be included in the map. In an exemplary embodiment, a road unit includes a road section (i.e., a portion of a road) and a road area (i.e., a combination of roads within an area). The road unit may for example have a length of 50 meters. The "road surface adhesion coefficient sample" is a group consisting of a plurality of road surface adhesion coefficients from a plurality of vehicles 2. The "predetermined period" represents a sampling period of the cloud service apparatus 10. The predetermined period of time may be fixed or variable. For example, the predetermined period of time may be 60 minutes.
The cloud service device 10 may be connected to each vehicle 2. For example, the cloud service 10 may be connected to the vehicle 2 via Wi-Fi, bluetooth, a mobile network (3G, 4G, LTE, etc.), or other communication technology. In an exemplary embodiment, the cloud service device 10 may be communicatively connected to the Vehicle 2 based on Vehicle to electrical (V2X). The cloud service device 10 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient detected by the in-vehicle sensor 50 of the vehicle 2 and the vehicle travel information.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the cloud service device 10 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient samples of each road unit in a predetermined period from the plurality of vehicles 2 located in each road unit, and may calculate the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of each road unit in the predetermined period from the road surface adhesion coefficient samples. The plurality of road units are previously divided by the cloud service device 10 according to the map data (which includes urban roads, mountain roads, and the like).
The following description will be given taking one road unit a among a plurality of road units as an example. For example, after the cloud service device 10 receives the road adhesion coefficient samples (Φ 1, Φ 2, …, Φ N) detected by the N vehicles located in the road unit a in the predetermined time period, the average value of the road adhesion coefficient samples (Φ 1, Φ 2, …, Φ N) may be calculated, so as to obtain the road adhesion coefficient average value of the road unit a in the predetermined time period. The road adhesion coefficient mean may be an arithmetic mean, a geometric mean, a squared mean, a harmonic mean, a weighted mean, or the like, of the road adhesion coefficient samples (φ 1, φ 2, …, φ n). The calculation of these averages is well known in the art and will not be described further herein. In this way, the cloud service device 10 may calculate the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of all of the plurality of road units.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient mean value of each of the plurality of road units from the cloud service apparatus 10, or may selectively receive the road surface adhesion coefficient mean values of a part of the plurality of road units. Then, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may provide the vehicle with a control signal for automatically performing a steering operation according to the road surface adhesion coefficient mean value of the corresponding road unit received from the cloud service apparatus 10.
In one embodiment, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit in which the vehicle 2 is located, from the position information of the vehicle 2. Subsequently, the in-vehicle control device 20 may provide a control signal for adjusting the safety control parameter according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit. For example, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may transmit a control signal for adjusting an inter-vehicle safety distance threshold, a collision time threshold, a brake deceleration threshold, and the like to a brake system (not shown) of the vehicle 2 according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit of the vehicle 2. As another example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may send a control signal for adjusting a turning speed threshold value or the like to a steering system (not shown) of the vehicle 2 according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit of the vehicle 2.
In still another embodiment, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the road unit included in the specified navigation path from the cloud service apparatus 10 according to the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2. The specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 may include a part of the plurality of road units, and the in-vehicle control device 20 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the part of the road units covered by the specified navigation path from the cloud service device 10. Subsequently, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may provide the vehicle with a control signal for driving assist based on the average of the road surface adhesion coefficients of the road units of this portion. The control signals for driving assistance include one or more of: providing an occupant of the vehicle 2 with an information-perceptible signal; a signal advising an occupant of the vehicle 2 to prepare for a snow chain; and a signal for causing the navigation device 30 of the vehicle 2 to re-plan the navigation path.
In one example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may issue a signal for providing perceptible information to an occupant of the vehicle 2. Such perceptible information may include one or more of visual information and auditory information. For example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may cause a part of the instrument panel, the navigation device, and/or the video device of the vehicle 2 to display a character that specifies the average value of the road surface adhesion coefficients of each road unit covered by the navigation path. For example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may cause a navigation device, an audio device, a buzzer, an alarm, or the like of the vehicle 2 to emit a sound for notifying the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of each road unit covered by the specified navigation route. The occupant of the vehicle 2 can know the mean road adhesion coefficient of the road cells covered by the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 from these perceptible information.
In still another example, in the case where the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 determines that the road surface adhesion coefficient mean values of the road units covered by the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 are each less than or equal to 0.3, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may signal to the occupant of the vehicle 2 to prepare the snow chain for recommendation to the vehicle 2. For example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may display instruction information in the form of text, a pattern, an image, a video, and the like, such as "suggest preparation of a snow chain", via a component such as an instrument panel, a navigation device, and/or a video device of the vehicle 2. For another example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may issue a voice such as "suggest preparation of a snow chain" via a navigation device, an audio device, a buzzer, an alarm, and/or the like of the vehicle 2.
In another example, in a case where the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 determines that the road surface adhesion coefficient mean values of the road units covered by the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 are all less than or equal to 0.3, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may issue a signal that causes the navigation apparatus 30 of the vehicle 2 to re-plan the navigation path. Specifically, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may cause the navigation apparatus 30 of the vehicle 2 to re-plan the navigation path so that the new navigation path avoids the road unit having the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of 0.3 or less.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cloud service device 10 may mark each road unit with a different slip level according to the mean road surface adhesion coefficient of each road unit. For example, the cloud service device 10 marks the slip level of a road unit having a road surface adhesion coefficient mean greater than 0.8 as one level, the slip level of a road unit having a road surface adhesion coefficient mean in the range of 0.6 and 0.8 as two levels, the slip level of a road unit having a road surface adhesion coefficient mean in the range of 0.4 and 0.6 as three levels, the slip level of a road unit having a road surface adhesion coefficient mean in the range of 0.2 and 0.4 as four levels, and the slip level of a road unit having a road surface adhesion coefficient mean less than 0.2 as five levels. It follows that the smaller the mean road surface adhesion coefficient of a road element is, the higher its slip level is, that is to say the more likely it is that the vehicle will slip when travelling on that road element.
Then, the in-vehicle control device 20 may provide different control signals for driving assistance according to the slip level of the road unit covered by the specified navigation path. For example, in the case where the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 determines that the slip level of the road unit covered by the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 is three levels or less (e.g., one or a combination of the first level, the second level, and the third level), the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may issue only a signal for providing the occupant of the vehicle 2 with the sensible information. For another example, in the case where the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 determines that the slip level of the road unit covered by the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 is four-stage and/or five-stage, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may signal the occupant of the vehicle 2 to prepare the snow chain for recommendation of the vehicle 2.
In addition, the cloud service device 10 may define a road unit satisfying a predetermined condition as a dangerous segment according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of each road unit and vehicle travel information of a plurality of vehicles located in each road unit. The predetermined conditions include the following: the road surface adhesion coefficient mean of the road unit is less than a threshold (e.g., 0.3); and the displacement or speed of a plurality of vehicles located within the road unit is 0 per unit time. Next, when the in-vehicle control device 20 determines that the road unit covered by the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2 covers the dangerous segment, the in-vehicle control device 20 may cause the navigation device 30 of the vehicle 2 to re-plan the navigation path.
Therefore, the driving assistance system 1 according to the embodiment of the invention can perform large data processing on road adhesion coefficient samples from a plurality of relevant vehicles by means of the cloud service device to obtain the road adhesion coefficient mean value of each road unit in the map data and provide the vehicle with the assistance driving according to the road adhesion coefficient mean value of the corresponding road unit.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a driving assistance method 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The driving assistance method 300 is executed by the driving assistance system 1 described above.
As shown in fig. 3, in step S310, the cloud service device 10 receives road adhesion coefficient samples and vehicle travel information from a plurality of vehicles 2. The vehicle travel information includes, but is not limited to, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and the like. The method 300 then proceeds to step S320.
In step S320, the cloud service device 10 performs analysis processing on the road adhesion coefficient sample.

In yet another embodiment, the cloud service device 10 may mark each road unit with a different slip level according to the mean road surface adhesion coefficient of each road unit. The relevant aspects of the slip level flag of the road unit are described in detail above and will not be described in detail here.
In another embodiment, the cloud service device 10 may define a road unit satisfying a predetermined condition as a dangerous segment according to the average value of the road adhesion coefficient of each road unit and the vehicle driving information of the plurality of vehicles 2 located in each road unit. The predetermined conditions include the following: the road surface adhesion coefficient mean of the road unit is less than a threshold (e.g., 0.3); and the displacement or speed of the vehicle located in the road unit is 0 per unit time. After performing analysis processing on the road adhesion coefficient sample, the method 300 proceeds to step S330.
In step S330, the in-vehicle control device 20 receives the processing result of the road adhesion coefficient sample from the cloud service device 10. The method 300 then proceeds to step S340.
In step S340, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 provides the vehicle 2 with a control signal for automatically performing a manipulation operation according to the processing result of the cloud service apparatus 10 on the road adhesion coefficient sample.
In one embodiment, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit in which the vehicle 2 is located according to the position information of the vehicle 2, and then may provide the control signal for adjusting the safety control parameter according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit. For example, the in-vehicle control device 20 may transmit a control signal for adjusting a safety control parameter such as an inter-vehicle safety distance threshold, a collision time threshold, a braking deceleration threshold, or a turning speed threshold, according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the current road unit of the vehicle 2.
In still another embodiment, the in-vehicle control apparatus 20 may receive the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the road element included in the specified navigation path according to the specified navigation path of the vehicle 2, and then may provide the vehicle with the control signal for driving assistance according to the road surface adhesion coefficient average value of the portion of the road element included in the specified navigation path. The control signals for driving assistance include one or more of: providing an occupant of the vehicle 2 with an information-perceptible signal; a signal advising an occupant of the vehicle 2 to prepare for a snow chain; and a signal for causing the navigation device 30 of the vehicle 2 to re-plan the navigation path.
In another embodiment, the in-vehicle control device 20 may provide different control signals for driving assistance according to the slip level of the road unit covered by the specified navigation path and/or whether the road unit covered by the specified navigation path includes a dangerous segment or the like. The relevant aspects of performing different driving assistance are described in detail above and therefore will not be described in detail here.
Therefore, the driving assistance method according to the embodiment of the invention can acquire the road adhesion coefficient mean value of each road unit in the map data by means of the cloud service device performing large data processing on the road adhesion coefficient samples from a plurality of related vehicles and provide the vehicles with the assistance driving according to the road adhesion coefficient mean value of the corresponding road unit.
