Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of a first embodiment of a vehicle control method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:
step 101, acquiring lighting information of a road section where a vehicle is located;
during the running process of the vehicle, when the vehicle runs in a dark environment, the illumination information of the road section where the vehicle is located can be acquired, and the illumination information is information which can describe the illumination condition of the road section.
In one example, the lighting information may be set according to motor vehicle traffic road standards, for example, the lighting information may include road brightness, road illuminance, glare, and the like.
In another example, the lighting information may describe whether the road segment has a street lamp.
In yet another example, the illumination information may be set according to an image of the road segment, for example, the illumination information may refer to brightness, contrast, and the like of the image.
In a specific implementation, the lighting information may be set according to an actual need, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 102, judging whether the illumination information meets a preset illumination condition;
the preset lighting condition may refer to a condition set in advance for determining whether the lighting condition enables the driver to see pedestrians or non-motor vehicles on the road clearly.
If the lighting information does not meet the preset lighting condition, the lighting condition can represent that the driver cannot see the pedestrian or the non-motor vehicle on the road clearly; if the lighting information satisfies the preset lighting condition, it may indicate a condition that the lighting condition enables the driver to see pedestrians or non-motor vehicles on the road clearly.
In a specific implementation, the preset lighting condition may be set according to the set lighting information. For example, if the lighting information includes information of road surface luminance, road surface illuminance, glare, etc., the lighting condition may be whether the road surface luminance is greater than a road surface luminance threshold value, whether the road surface illuminance is greater than a road surface illuminance threshold value, whether the glare is greater than a glare threshold value, etc.
In practice, the road types may include express roads, main roads, secondary roads, branch roads, and so on, and different road types may correspond to different lightness thresholds and contrast thresholds.
In an example, step 103 may determine whether the lighting information satisfies a preset lighting condition corresponding to the road on which the current vehicle is located, in order to obtain the preset lighting condition corresponding to the road on which the current vehicle is located.
In another example, step 103 may determine whether the lighting information satisfies a preset lighting condition corresponding to the road type of the road on which the current vehicle is located, in order to obtain the preset lighting condition corresponding to the road type of the road on which the current vehicle is located.
Step 103, if the illumination information does not meet the preset illumination condition, determining whether a collision object which collides with the vehicle exists;
when the illumination information does not satisfy the preset illumination condition, it is further determined whether there is a collision object that will collide with the vehicle. The collision object may be a pedestrian, a non-motor vehicle, a motor vehicle, an animal, or the like.
In one example, whether there is a collision object that will collide with the vehicle may be further determined by a radar system of the vehicle in combination with an in-vehicle camera.
In another example, information about the presence and absence of pedestrians and/or non-motor vehicles on a road section where the vehicle is located may be acquired; and judging whether a collision object which collides with the vehicle exists or not according to the presence/absence information.
Specifically, the presence/absence information of the road section where the vehicle is located may be acquired from the server. The presence information is information describing presence of pedestrians or non-motor vehicles in a certain road section, and may include information of the number of pedestrians and/or non-motor vehicles, the number of people present, the number of non-motor vehicles present, the time of presence, and the like in a certain road section.
For example, there are more pedestrians at 7-10 pm on a certain road segment, and if the vehicle is traveling on the road segment in the time segment and the vehicle speed is high, it can be considered that there is a collision object that will collide with the vehicle.
And 104, if a collision object which collides with the vehicle exists, controlling the vehicle to start a high beam reminding mode.
If the collision object which collides with the vehicle exists, the vehicle can be controlled to start the high beam reminding mode. Under the mode is reminded to the distance light, the vehicle can open the distance light and send the warning, plays timely warning effect to the pedestrian through the combination of distance light and sound.
In the embodiment of the invention, if the illumination information of the road section where the current vehicle is located does not meet the preset illumination condition and a collision object which collides with the vehicle exists, the high beam can be controlled to be turned on by the vehicle to help a driver to better observe the road condition ahead and give a warning to the collision object, so that traffic accidents are avoided.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of a second embodiment of a vehicle control method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:
step 201, acquiring lighting information of a road section where a vehicle is located;
in one embodiment, the lighting information may include brightness and contrast of the road image, and step 201 may include: acquiring a road image of a road section where a vehicle is located; determining brightness and contrast of the road image.
In this example, the vehicle may have an off-board camera, and the road image of the road segment may be captured by the off-board camera, and then the brightness and contrast of the road image may be determined, with the brightness and contrast of the road image as the lighting information.
In another embodiment, step 201 may include: obtaining map information; and acquiring the illumination information of the road section where the vehicle is located from the map information.
The map information refers to information of an electronic map, which is generally provided by a service provider.
In this example, the vehicle may obtain map information from the server, which may include lighting information of the road. The corresponding lighting information may be acquired from the map information according to the road section where the vehicle is located.
The illumination information stored by the server can be acquired by a vehicle through an external camera and then synchronously sent to the server; or the data can be acquired by a camera arranged on the road and synchronously uploaded to a server.
In one embodiment, before the illumination information of the road section where the vehicle is located is obtained, the running speed of the vehicle is obtained, and whether the running speed is greater than or equal to a preset speed threshold value or not is judged; when the driving speed is greater than or equal to a preset speed threshold value, acquiring the illumination information of the road section where the vehicle is located; and when the running speed is less than the preset speed threshold value, not acquiring the illumination information of the road section where the vehicle is located.
For example, when the vehicle running speed is greater than or equal to 15 km/h, the lighting information of the road section where the vehicle is located is acquired.
In practice, when the running speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the speed threshold, it can be considered that the driver cannot make effective avoidance; when the running speed of the vehicle is smaller than the speed threshold value, the driver can be considered to be capable of effectively avoiding the collision. Therefore, the operation of acquiring the illumination information of the road section where the vehicle is located may be triggered only when the traveling speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the preset speed threshold.
Step 202, judging whether the illumination information meets a preset illumination condition;
in one embodiment, the lighting information may include brightness and contrast of the road image, the preset lighting condition may be that the brightness of the road image is greater than a preset brightness threshold, and the contrast of the road image is greater than a preset contrast threshold; step 202 may include: comparing the lightness of the road image with a preset lightness threshold value, and comparing the contrast of the road image with a preset contrast threshold value; and if the brightness of the road image is less than or equal to a preset brightness threshold value and the contrast is less than or equal to a preset contrast threshold value, determining that the illumination information does not meet the preset illumination condition. For the road where the vehicle is located, a brightness threshold and a contrast threshold corresponding to the road can be selected; the brightness threshold and the contrast threshold corresponding to the type of the road can also be selected.
In one embodiment, the vehicle may always collect the illumination information, and when the driving speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the speed threshold, it is determined whether the illumination information satisfies the preset illumination condition.
Step 203, when the illumination information does not meet preset illumination conditions, identifying an area which cannot be irradiated by a low beam lamp in the area in front of the vehicle, and whether a collision object which collides with the vehicle exists or not;
when the vehicle is in a dark road section, the driver usually turns on the dipped headlight to better observe the road condition. However, in a region where the low beam cannot be irradiated, the driver cannot clearly observe the region, and there is a possibility that there is a collision target that will collide with the vehicle.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the step 203 may include the following sub-steps:
a substep S11 of acquiring preset calibration data of a vehicle front region and an image of the vehicle front region; the calibration data of the area in front of the vehicle comprise a low beam light irradiation area and a non-low beam light irradiation area which are calibrated in advance;
fig. 3 is a schematic view of a lamp irradiation region of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. The area in front of the vehicle comprises a low beam illumination area, a high beam illumination area and a vehicle lamp blind area;
the dipped headlight irradiation region is a region which can be irradiated by the dipped headlight, the high beam irradiation region is a region which is irradiated by the high beam, and the car light blind region is a region which can not be irradiated by the car light. In one example, the three regions may be non-overlapping. Wherein the high beam irradiation zone and the blind zone of the car light can form a non-dipped beam irradiation zone. Generally, for the same type of vehicle, the types and the installation positions of the low beam and the high beam are fixed, so that the three areas, namely a low beam irradiation area, a high beam irradiation area and a vehicle lamp blind area, are relatively determined. The calibration data of the area in front of the vehicle may be obtained by calibration in advance, may be configured when the vehicle leaves a factory, or may be acquired from a server. If the dipped headlight or the high beam of the vehicle is modified, the calibration data of the area in front of the vehicle needs to be calibrated again. The image of the area in front of the vehicle can be acquired by matching a laser system of the vehicle with a vehicle-mounted camera.
A substep S12 of recognizing, in the image of the region in front of the vehicle, whether there is a collision subject to be collided with the vehicle in a region in front of the vehicle to which low beam light cannot be irradiated, using the low beam light irradiation region and/or the non-low beam light irradiation region.
In the embodiment of the invention, the area outside the irradiation area of the dipped headlight can be determined as the area which can not be irradiated by the dipped headlight; the non-low beam illumination zone can also be determined as the zone that the low beam cannot illuminate.
The method can map the area which cannot be irradiated by the dipped headlight into the image of the area in front of the vehicle, determine the image of the area which cannot be irradiated by the dipped headlight in the area in front of the vehicle, and identify the direction information of the person object (including pedestrians and non-motor vehicles) according to the image of the area which cannot be irradiated by the dipped headlight, and comprises the following steps: relative movement direction, relative distance, position, etc.
Then, it is determined whether the vehicle will collide with the human subject based on the direction information of the human subject in the area where the low beam light cannot be irradiated.
And 204, if a collision object which collides with the vehicle exists, controlling the vehicle to start a high beam reminding mode.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the step 204 may further include the following sub-steps:
a substep S21 of determining an expected collision time for the vehicle to collide with the collision object if there is a collision object to collide with the vehicle;
and a substep S22, controlling the vehicle to start a high beam reminding mode when the predicted collision time is less than or equal to a preset time threshold.
The predicted collision time refers to a time required for the collision object to transmit a collision with the vehicle. The predicted collision time may be calculated from information such as the distance of the vehicle from the collision object, the vehicle running speed, the collision object moving speed, and the like.
According to the predicted collision time, the vehicle is controlled to start a high beam reminding mode to warn pedestrians in time through the combination of high beams and sound before collision occurs. In a specific implementation, in the high beam reminding mode, the vehicle can control the high beam to emit light in different working modes and send out different warning contents, and the working mode and the warning contents of the high beam can be set according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the invention.
For example, when the predicted collision time is greater than 1 second and 5 seconds or less, the vehicle turns on the high beam and remains normally on. When the predicted collision time is less than or equal to 1 second, the vehicle starts the high beam and flickers in a period of 0.5 second, and simultaneously the vehicle sends out a warning sound to warn pedestrians or non-motor vehicles for 2 seconds.
In the embodiment of the invention, if the illumination information of the road section where the current vehicle is located does not meet the preset illumination condition and the collision object which will collide with the vehicle exists in the area which cannot be irradiated by the low beam in the front area of the vehicle, the high beam can be controlled to be turned on by the vehicle to help the driver to better observe the front road condition and give a warning to the collision object, so that the occurrence of traffic accidents is avoided.
