Detailed Description
The following describes in detail specific embodiments of a method and an apparatus for predicting a vehicle travel track and selecting a vehicle following target according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that the prediction scheme of the vehicle traveling track according to the embodiment of the present invention belongs to the prediction of the vehicle traveling track, and is not only applicable to the prediction of the vehicle traveling track after the vehicle ACC system is started, but also applicable to other scenarios where the vehicle traveling track needs to be predicted, for example, the vehicle traveling track is predicted in an automatic driving system.
As shown in fig. 1, a method for predicting a driving trajectory of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:
step 101, obtaining the motion state information of the vehicle and the lane line information of the lane where the vehicle is located.
In specific implementation, the motion state information of the vehicle can be acquired through a sensor mounted on the vehicle. The lane line information of the lane in which the vehicle is located, that is, the lane line information of the current driving lane of the vehicle, may be acquired by capturing an image by an image capturing device (e.g., a video camera, a still camera, etc.) mounted on the vehicle. Wherein, the motion state information may include but is not limited to: velocity information and yaw-rate information, lane line information including, but not limited to, length information of lane lines and shape information of lane lines.
In one example, the motion state information of the vehicle includes speed information of the vehicle and yaw-rate information, the speed information of which may be acquired by a speed sensor mounted on the vehicle, and the yaw-rate information of which may be acquired by an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measurement mounted on the vehicle.
And 102, calculating an evaluation value for representing the effectiveness of the lane line based on the lane line information.
In the embodiment of the invention, the effectiveness of the lane line is used as an index for measuring whether the lane line is suitable for being used as the driving track of the vehicle. Wherein the effectiveness of the lane line is used for comprehensively evaluating the curvature and the length of the lane line. For example, in the case where the curvature of the lane line is large, if the effective length of the lane line is long, the effectiveness thereof may be high.
Specifically, when calculating the evaluation value for representing the effectiveness of the lane line, a plane coordinate system may be established by first using the position of the vehicle as a coordinate origin, one of the directions perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction as a transverse coordinate axis and the other as a longitudinal coordinate axis, then in the plane coordinate system, based on the shape information of the lane line, a curve equation for representing the shape of the lane line is determined, and the evaluation value is calculated according to the curve equation and the length information of the lane line.
In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 2, a plane coordinate system is established with the vehicle center as the origin of coordinates, the vehicle driving direction as the x-axis, and the vertical direction of the vehicle driving direction as the y-axis, and a curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line is determined based on the shape information of the lane line in the plane coordinate system.
Specifically, the curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line may be a cubic polynomial, and the specific expression is as follows: y ═ C3×X3+C2×X2+C1×X+C0
Wherein y is a horizontal coordinate value of each point on the lane line, X is a vertical coordinate value of each point on the lane line, C0、C1、C2And C3Are all polynomial coefficients. If the current lane is a straight line, then C2And C3Are all close to 0.
After determining the curve equation for representing the shape of the lane line, the evaluation value may be calculated according to the curve equation and the length information of the lane line, and the specific calculation expression is as follows:
Figure BDA0001736164940000101
wherein, R is an evaluation value used for representing the validity of the lane line, l is the length of the lane line, and K1And K2Is a proportionality coefficient, C2And C3Are all polynomial coefficients in a curve equation used for representing the shape of the lane line.
In one example, the coefficients of the terms in the curve equation of the lane line on the side of the lane where the vehicle is located are assumed to be: c0=2.2617,C1=0.0298,C2=-0.0028,C30.000001, lane length l of 20 m, K1Value of 1 × 103,K2Value of 2 × 106Then, the above expression for calculating the evaluation value is used to calculate that the evaluation value of the lane line is 0.4647.
And 103, calculating a matching value for representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle according to the motion state information and the lane line information.
In the embodiment of the invention, the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle is used as another index for measuring whether the lane line is suitable for being used as the driving track of the vehicle.
Specifically, when calculating the matching value for representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle, the position of the vehicle may be taken as a coordinate origin, one of the driving direction of the vehicle and the vertical direction of the driving direction of the vehicle is taken as a transverse coordinate axis, and the other is taken as a longitudinal coordinate axis, a planar coordinate system is established, then in the planar coordinate system, a curve equation for representing the shape of the lane line is determined based on the shape information of the lane line, the curvature of the lane line at the position of the vehicle is calculated based on the curve equation, then the curvature of the current driving track of the vehicle is calculated based on the speed information and the yaw rate information, and the absolute value of the difference between the curvature of the current driving track of the vehicle and the curvature of the lane line at the position of the vehicle is taken as the matching value for representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle.
In this step, the method of determining the curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line is the same as the method of determining the curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line in step 102.
After determining a curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line, a polynomial system C based on the curve equation1And C2And calculating the curvature of the lane line at the position of the vehicle, wherein the specific expression is as follows:
Figure BDA0001736164940000111
wherein, B1The curvature of the lane line at the location of the vehicle, C1And C2Are all polynomial coefficients in a curve equation used for representing the shape of the lane line.
In calculating the curvature of the current travel locus of the vehicle based on the speed information and the yaw-rate information of the vehicle, the following expression may be adopted:
Figure BDA0001736164940000112
wherein, B2ω is the curvature of the current running track of the vehicle, ω is the yaw rate of the vehicle, and V is the speed of the vehicle.
After calculating the curvature of the lane line at the position of the vehicle and the curvature of the current driving track of the vehicle, the absolute value of the difference between the curvature of the current driving track of the vehicle and the curvature of the lane line at the position of the vehicle can be used as a matching value for representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle, and the specific calculation expression is as follows:
Figure BDA0001736164940000113
wherein, P is a matching value representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle, B1The curvature of the lane line at the location of the vehicle, B2Is the curvature of the current running track of the vehicle.
In one example, if the example in step 102 is used, it is assumed that the coefficients in the curve equation of the lane line on the side of the lane where the vehicle is located are: c0=2.2617,C1=0.0298,C2=-0.0028,C3When the vehicle speed is 15.7 m/s and the vehicle yaw rate is-1.0073 degrees/s, the matching value representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle is 0.0045, which is calculated by using the above expression for calculating the matching value representing the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle.
And 104, taking the lane line as the running track of the vehicle under the condition that the evaluation value is determined to be larger than the first preset threshold value and the matching value is determined to be smaller than the second preset threshold value.
In the embodiment of the invention, the effectiveness of the lane line and the matching degree between the lane line and the current driving track of the vehicle are used as indexes for judging whether the lane line is suitable for being used as the driving track of the vehicle, so that the lane line is used as the driving track of the vehicle under the condition that the evaluation value is determined to be larger than the first preset threshold and the matching value is smaller than the second preset threshold.
The first preset threshold and the second preset threshold may be set freely according to an empirical value, for example, the value of the first preset threshold is 0.5, and the value of the second preset threshold is 0.003.
In one example, if the first preset threshold value is 0.5 and the second preset threshold value is 0.003, the evaluation value calculated in step 102 is 0.4647 and is smaller than the first preset threshold value, and the matching value calculated in step 103 is 0.0045 and is greater than 0.003, then the lane line shown in the example of step 102 cannot predict the driving trajectory of the vehicle.
In another embodiment of the present invention, after the evaluation value for representing the validity of the lane line is calculated in step 102, if the evaluation value is determined to be smaller than the first preset threshold, step 103 may not be executed, and the lane line may be directly determined so as not to predict the travel track of the vehicle, so as to reduce the amount of calculation.
In one possible embodiment, if it is determined that the evaluation value is less than or equal to a first preset threshold value and/or the matching value is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold value, the travel locus of the vehicle is predicted based on the motion state information.
In specific implementation, when the running track of the vehicle is predicted based on the motion state information, the curvature radius of the current running track of the vehicle is calculated based on the speed information and the yaw rate information, the curvature circle of the position of the vehicle is determined according to the curvature radius, and an arc with a preset length and including the position of the vehicle is used as the running track of the vehicle on the curvature circle.
Specifically, based on the speed information and the yaw rate information, a calculation expression for calculating the curvature radius of the current travel track of the vehicle is as follows:
Figure BDA0001736164940000121
where r is a curvature radius of a current running track of the vehicle, ω is a yaw rate of the vehicle, and V is a speed of the vehicle.
After the curvature radius of the current running track of the vehicle is calculated, a curvature circle is made at the position of the vehicle based on the curvature radius, and then an arc with a preset length including the position of the vehicle on the curvature circle is used as the running track of the vehicle. The arc with the preset length including the position of the vehicle may be an arc with a preset length along the vehicle traveling direction, which may be set according to an empirical value, for example, 50 meters, using the position of the vehicle as a starting point.
A specific prediction process of the method for predicting the vehicle travel track according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to fig. 3.
As shown in fig. 3, a specific process of the method for predicting a driving trajectory of a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:
step 301, obtaining lane line information of a lane where the vehicle is located and motion state information of the vehicle. The motion state information of the vehicle may include, but is not limited to: velocity information and yaw-rate information, lane line information including, but not limited to, length information of lane lines and shape information of lane lines.

Specifically, a curvature circle of the position of the vehicle is determined according to the curvature radius, and an arc with a preset length including the position of the vehicle on the curvature circle is used as the predicted driving track of the vehicle.
The method for predicting the vehicle running track after the vehicle ACC system is started in the embodiment of the invention is introduced above, and the embodiment of the invention also provides a method for selecting the vehicle following target, which is used for selecting the following target of the vehicle and the avoidance target of the vehicle based on the running track of the vehicle predicted by the method provided by the embodiment of the invention.
The method for selecting the vehicle following target provided by the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 4, may include the following steps:
step 401, a target object on a road ahead of a vehicle is acquired.
In particular, when acquiring a target object on a road ahead of a vehicle, the target object may be acquired by combining data acquired by an image acquisition device (e.g., a camera and a video camera) and a radar device. Specifically, data collected by the image collection device may be fused with data collected by the radar device to determine the type and location of a target object on a road ahead of the vehicle.
In the embodiment of the invention, the target objects are divided into two types of vehicle objects and non-vehicle objects according to the types of the target objects. When the type of the target object is specifically divided, the data acquired by the image acquisition equipment can be combined for division.
And 402, determining a transverse distance between the vehicle and the target object according to the running track of the vehicle, wherein the transverse distance is a distance between the vehicle and the target object in a direction perpendicular to the running track when the vehicle runs to a preset position along the running track, and the preset position is a position of the target object in the running track in the direction perpendicular to the running track.
The lateral spacing referred to in step 402 of an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5, assuming that the vehicle 50 is a self-vehicle and the vehicle 51 is a target object, the lateral distance between the vehicle 50 and the target object 51 refers to a distance from the target object 51 in a direction perpendicular to the travel track when the vehicle 50 travels to a predetermined position 52 along the travel track, that is, a distance 53 shown in fig. 5. The predetermined position 52 is a position of the target object 51 in the travel track in a direction perpendicular to the travel track, in other words, the predetermined position 52 and the target object 51 are on the same straight line perpendicular to the travel track.
In this step, when the lateral distance between the vehicle and the target object is determined, the driving trajectory predicted by the method for predicting a driving trajectory of a vehicle according to the above embodiment of the present invention is relied on.
Since the driving trajectory predicted by the method for predicting a driving trajectory of a vehicle according to the above embodiment of the present invention is in two cases, in this step, the lateral distance between the vehicle and the target object is determined according to the driving trajectory of the vehicle, which can be divided into the following two embodiments, specifically:
in the first embodiment, a lane line is used as the predicted travel path of the vehicle.
In such an embodiment, the coordinate positions of the host vehicle and the target object in the planar coordinate system may be calculated according to a curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line, and then the lateral distance between the host vehicle and the target object may be calculated based on the coordinate positions of the host vehicle and the target object in the planar coordinate system.
In the second embodiment, an arc with a preset length, including the position of the vehicle, on the curvature circle is used as the predicted vehicle traveling track.
In this embodiment, the coordinate positions of the host vehicle and the target object in the planar coordinate system may be calculated according to a curve equation for characterizing the shape of the lane line, the lateral coordinate value of the host vehicle when the host vehicle travels to the predetermined position along the travel track may be calculated according to the longitudinal coordinate value of the target object, and the lateral distance between the host vehicle and the target object may be calculated based on the calculated lateral coordinate value of the host vehicle at the predetermined position and the calculated lateral coordinate value of the target object.
When the method is concretely implemented, when the transverse coordinate value of the vehicle when the vehicle runs to the preset position along the running track is calculated according to the longitudinal coordinate value of the target object, the calculation expression is as follows:
when the running track of the vehicle turns to the left:
Figure BDA0001736164940000151
when the running track of the vehicle turns to the right:
Figure BDA0001736164940000152
wherein, yegoIs a transverse coordinate value, x, of the vehicle when the vehicle travels to a predetermined position along the travel pathobjIs the longitudinal coordinate value of the target object, and r is the curvature radius of the driving track.
In step 403, a following target of the vehicle is selected from the target objects according to the transverse distance between the vehicle and the target objects.
In one possible embodiment, since the target objects include a vehicle target and a non-vehicle target, in order to reduce the amount of calculation, when a following target of the vehicle is selected among the target objects, the following target may be selected among the vehicle targets.
In actual practice, when selecting the following target of the vehicle, three vehicle targets are generally selected as the following targets of the vehicle in front of, on the left side, and on the right side of the vehicle. Of course, if there are less than three vehicle targets included in the target object in front of the vehicle, it is also possible to select less than three following targets.
When a following target of the vehicle is selected specifically, if the transverse distance between the vehicle and the vehicle target is smaller than a first preset distance threshold value and the vehicle target and the vehicle driving direction are the same, determining the vehicle target as a first following target of the vehicle; and if the transverse distance between the vehicle and the vehicle target is greater than a first preset distance threshold value and smaller than the sum of the first preset distance threshold value and the lane width, and the vehicle target and the vehicle driving direction are the same, determining the vehicle target as a second following target of the vehicle.
The first preset distance threshold may be set according to an empirical value, for example, the first preset distance threshold is half of the sum of the width of the vehicle and the width of the vehicle target.
It should be noted that the first following target may be a following target in front of the vehicle, and the second following target may be a following target on the left side and the right side of the vehicle, but of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first following target may also be a following target on the left side and the right side of the vehicle, and the second following target may be a following target in front of the vehicle, and is not limited specifically here.
In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the invention can also select the avoidance target of the vehicle in the target objects according to the transverse distance between the vehicle and the target objects.
In one possible embodiment, since the target objects include a vehicle object and a non-vehicle object, in order to reduce the amount of calculation, when an avoidance target of the vehicle is selected among the target objects, the avoidance target may be selected among the non-vehicle objects.
In practical applications, when selecting an avoidance target of a vehicle, two non-vehicle targets are generally selected as avoidance targets of the vehicle in front of and on the side of the vehicle. Of course, if there are less than two non-vehicle targets included in the target object in front of the vehicle, it is also possible to select less than two avoidance targets.
When an avoidance target of the vehicle is specifically selected, if the transverse distance between the vehicle and a non-vehicle target is smaller than a second preset distance threshold, determining the non-vehicle target as a first avoidance target of the vehicle; and if the transverse distance between the vehicle and the non-vehicle target is greater than a second preset distance threshold value and smaller than the sum of the second preset distance threshold value and the lane width, determining the non-vehicle target as a second avoidance target of the vehicle.
The second preset distance threshold is greater than the first preset distance threshold, and the second preset distance threshold may be set according to an empirical value, for example, the second preset distance threshold is greater than the first preset distance threshold by 0.2.
It should be noted that the first avoidance target may be an avoidance target in front of the vehicle, and the second following target may be an avoidance target on the side of the vehicle, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the first following target may also be an avoidance target on the side of the vehicle, and the second following target may be an avoidance target in front of the vehicle, and the present invention is not limited to this.
In one example, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 shows a scene in which a following target of the vehicle and an avoidance target of the vehicle are selected among target objects in front of the vehicle with a lane line as a predicted travel locus of the vehicle.
In another example, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 shows a scene in which a following target of the vehicle and an avoidance target of the vehicle are selected among target objects in front of the vehicle when an arc of a predetermined length including a position where the vehicle is located on a curvature circle is used as the predicted vehicle travel track.
According to the method for selecting the vehicle following target, the transverse distance between the vehicle and the target object is determined according to the running track of the vehicle, the following target of the vehicle and the avoidance target of the vehicle are selected according to the determined transverse distance between the vehicle and the target object, the running tracks of the vehicle are different, and the selected following target and the avoidance target are possibly different, so that the selected following target and the chosen avoidance target are better in robustness and higher in accuracy. In addition, by selecting the following target of the vehicle and the avoidance target of the vehicle, more comprehensive road information can be provided for the ACC system.
