The Internet of vehicles is another sign of future smart cities after the Internet and the Internet of things. In the technical aspect, the internet of vehicles needs to acquire various information through various sensors, such as radio frequency identification, infrared sensors, global positioning systems, laser scanners and other information sensing devices, and the devices can provide a basis for information exchange among vehicles, so that intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management are realized.
With the continuous development of vehicle equipment and computers, the automatic driving technology has become a hot research field, and the automatic driving technology is mature. The need for sensing surrounding obstacles and the environment of an autonomous vehicle requires the addition of necessary sensing devices for detection and sensing. Lidar has begun to find widespread use in automotive technology by virtue of its advantages in identification, ranging and positioning. Compared with the recognition processing of images collected by a camera, the laser radar has the main advantages of long detection distance, high precision, strong anti-interference capability, strong real-time performance, small influence of natural environments such as illumination, rain and snow weather and the like in actual use, strong adaptability and the like. In addition, laser radar is widely applied to the fields of intelligent mobile robots, automatic driving, unmanned aerial vehicles and the like.
The laser radar is a radar system which emits laser beams to detect the position, speed and other characteristic quantities of a measured object to emit detection signals (laser beams) to the measured object, then the received signals (measured object echoes) reflected from a target are compared with the emitted signals, and after proper processing, the relevant information of the measured object, such as the distance, direction, height, speed, attitude, even shape and other parameters of the measured object, can be obtained, so that the measured objects of airplanes, missiles and the like are detected, tracked and identified.
The technique used by lidar is Time of Flight (TOF). Specifically, the relative distance between the object to be measured and the object to be measured is calculated according to the turn-back time of the laser after the laser encounters an obstacle. The laser beam can accurately measure the relative distance between the edge of the outline of the object in the view field and the equipment, the outline information forms a so-called point cloud and draws a 3D environment map, the precision can reach the centimeter level, and therefore the measurement precision is improved.

The superimposed frequency includes the overall frequency of the new signal and its frequency content. Optionally, the lidar further comprises a photoelectric element, and the photoelectric element receives the information of the characteristic signal. Illustratively, the characteristic signal information detected by the lidar is transmitted through a wireless network 2020 and displayed on the display 31 of the mobile terminal, and the wireless network 20 is a wireless network 20 implemented by a public mobile communication network (e.g., 2G ═ GSM, second generation communication network; 3G ═ CDMA, third generation communication network; 4G ═ LTE, fourth generation communication network; 5G network, fifth generation mobile communication network), a wireless local area network (abbreviated as WLAN, e.g., WiFi and bluetooth), a wireless local area network (abbreviated as WRAN), a wireless metropolitan area network (abbreviated as MAN), a LPWAN (low power wide area network), and a low power local area network (e.g., ZigBee, short-range, low power wireless communication technology based on ieee802.15.4 standard). The wireless communication module of the laser radar is used for setting initial parameters for a radar body, exchanging information with the wireless communication module of the mobile terminal, and receiving regulation and control of the mobile terminal, such as real-time regulation of a measurement range, regulation of a working area, starting of the laser radar, closing of the laser radar and the like. Wherein the initial parameters of the lidar include a measurement range (maximum measurement distance), a working area, a warning level, a sensitivity of distance measurement, a rotation number, measurement conditions, an angular field of view (vertical angular field of view and horizontal angular field of view, preferably, the lidar of the present application can perform full-scale measurement, that is, the vertical angular field of view and the horizontal angular field of view are both 360 degrees0) Scanning frequency (how many times the laser radar scans in one second), angular resolution (angular stepping of two adjacent range points), measurement accuracy (minimum amount of distance change perceived in one second), range mining rate (how many range outputs are made in one second), etc. The initial parameters can be adjusted at a later stage,preferably, the initial parameter of the laser radar of the present application realizes the setting and the later regulation and control of the initial parameter of the laser radar by the mobile terminal through a wireless communication module of the laser radar.

In the application, the laser radar is taken as a center, different distance ranges are divided into different warning levels, for example, according to the fact that the relative distance between the laser radar and a measured object is from large to small, the warning levels sequentially include safety (for example, 600 + 1000 meters), attention (for example, 300 + 600 meters), danger (for example, 200 + 300 meters), and stop immediately (for example, 10-100 meters), and according to actual needs, the mobile terminal can regulate and control and set the relative distance range corresponding to the warning level in real time. When the warning level is attention, dangerous and immediately stopped, the mobile terminal remotely controls the laser radar to change the moving direction to move to a safe area. Preferably, the laser radar of this application's warning level shows step by step, and the sentence says, by noticing safely, arrive danger again, finally to stopping immediately, sensitivity and real-time are good, can in time give warning level feedback at the beginning at the possibility of collision between measured object and the laser radar to in time remind mobile terminal to regulate and control laser radar, prevent that mobile terminal is in good measures, too late to regulate and control laser radar. Illustratively, the working area may be set as a safety area, a warning area, an absolute prohibition area, etc., and when the lidar is working in the safety area, the lidar does not give any notice or gives a notice of safety to the mobile terminal; when the laser radar works in a warning area, the laser radar prompts a prompt to the mobile terminal; when the laser radar works in an absolutely forbidden area, the laser radar prompts danger to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal sends a corresponding regulation and control instruction to the laser radar according to the prompt message sent by the laser radar so as to enable the laser radar to workThe lidar is moved into a safe area. The above work area division is merely an example for the convenience of understanding, and does not constitute any limitation to the present application. The characteristic signal of the object to be measured 40 includes a shape, a height, an attitude, a position, a moving direction, a moving speed, a relative distance between the object to be measured 40 and the laser radar, and the like. For example, in smart factories and smart warehouses, a plurality of automated guided vehicles (AGVs, a type of mobile device) and automated driving and transporting devices (a type of mobile device) may be operated simultaneously. When two vehicles are traveling towards each other, a decision must be made immediately to avoid a collision. In a general Warehouse Management System (WMS), mobile objects in these warehouses are managed. Particularly, in warehouses with mixed workers and transport vehicles, strict working standards are set by all countries, and safety management mechanisms are established. In view of these problems, the present invention provides a method for transmitting a characteristic signal that can determine the advancing direction of each mobile device in a plurality of transportation vehicles by detecting the advancing direction of each mobile device, for example, the characteristic signal is the advancing direction of each mobile device and/or the distance between the mobile devices and/or the position and/or the moving speed, and the like, and a plurality of characteristic signals are transmitted to an optoelectronic element of a laser radar in the form of a superimposed signal added to a superimposed frequency by a laser beam.
