Detailed Description
The following description of the exemplary embodiments of the present application, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, includes various details of the embodiments of the application for the understanding of the same, which are to be considered exemplary only. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a vehicle to run according to a first embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
in S101, after the vehicle receives an overtaking command during traveling, lane change observation is performed.
In this step, if the vehicle receives an overtaking command during the running process of the vehicle, the vehicle is controlled to perform lane change observation. That is to say, after the vehicle in the present application receives the overtaking command, the vehicle is not directly controlled to make lane change and overtake the vehicle ahead, but lane change observation is performed first, and then whether to make an overtaking is determined according to the observation result.
This is because, in some driving scenarios of the vehicle, for example, a large vehicle (bus, truck, etc.) is in front of the vehicle, which may obstruct the view of the current vehicle. And when the large vehicle runs at a slow speed or is static, the current vehicle can make a decision to change lanes and overtake. However, since the sight line is blocked, the current vehicle cannot accurately sense the front of the passing target vehicle, and if an unknown obstacle exists in front of the passing target vehicle, the current vehicle is very likely to fail in passing this time, so that the safety of vehicle driving is reduced.
Therefore, the lane change observation performed by the vehicle in this step is a process of controlling the vehicle to change its lane so as to observe the front of the passing target vehicle. Therefore, the step can acquire the information of the obstacle originally shielded by the overtaking target vehicle by controlling the vehicle to execute lane change observation.
In addition, in order to improve the execution accuracy of lane change observation and avoid the vehicle from executing redundant operations, before executing lane change observation, the step may further include the following steps: and determining whether the overtaking target vehicle obstructs the sight of the current vehicle, if so, continuing to execute lane change observation, and otherwise, executing an overtaking command.
That is, the lane change observation can be executed for each overtaking command, so that the information of the obstacle in front of the overtaking target vehicle can be more accurately acquired; or only when the sight line of the current vehicle is blocked by the overtaking target vehicle, the vehicle can be controlled to perform lane-changing observation.
Preferably, the vehicle in the present application is a vehicle with an automatic driving capability, that is, a control module in the automatic driving vehicle controls the automatic driving vehicle to change a traffic lane and perform observation after receiving the overtaking instruction sent by the planning module. The vehicle in the application can also be a common vehicle, namely the common vehicle sends out the prompt message of lane change detection to the driver after determining that the driver sends out the overtaking command so as to remind the driver to observe firstly and then overtake.
In S102, obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle is acquired by lane change observation.
In this step, after the control vehicle performs lane change observation in step S101, obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle is acquired. That is, after the vehicle in this step changes the lane by performing lane change observation, the line of sight originally blocked by the passing target vehicle is restored, so that the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle is acquired more accurately.
The obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle obtained in this step is preferably obstacle information in front of a lane in which the passing target vehicle is located, and the lane in which the passing target vehicle is located is a lane before the current vehicle changes lanes. Therefore, the step only needs to observe the front of the lane where the overtaking target vehicle is located, and the acquisition process of the obstacle information is simplified.
The obstacle information in front of the overtaking target vehicle can still be obtained under the condition that the sight line of the current vehicle is blocked, namely the overtaking of the vehicle at this time has a certain basis and is not performed under the condition that the front condition is completely unknown.
However, since the current vehicle view is necessarily partially blocked, in order to ensure the accuracy of the acquired obstacle information and further improve the safety of vehicle driving, the step may further include the following steps after acquiring the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle through lane change observation: determining obstacle information acquired before lane change observation; comparing the obtained obstacle information after lane change observation with the obtained obstacle information before lane change observation; and determining whether newly added obstacle information appears according to the comparison result, if so, acquiring the newly added obstacle information, and otherwise, executing an overtaking instruction.
In S103, whether the barrier information meets a first preset condition is determined, if yes, overtaking is cancelled and a backup scheme is executed, and if not, the overtaking instruction is executed.
In this step, after the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle is acquired in step S102, it is first determined whether the acquired obstacle information satisfies a first preset condition, and if so, the passing is cancelled and a backup plan is executed, and if not, the received passing instruction is executed.
Specifically, in this step, when determining whether the obstacle information satisfies the first preset condition, it may be determined whether the acquired obstacle information includes a newly added vehicle, it may also be determined whether the number of the newly added vehicles exceeds a first threshold, and it may also be determined whether the distance between the current vehicle and the newly added vehicle is smaller than a second threshold, and the like. Wherein, the newly added vehicle in the step is the vehicle positioned in front of the overtaking target vehicle. That is to say, the overtaking can be cancelled under the condition that other vehicles still exist in front of the overtaking target vehicle after lane change observation, so that accidents are avoided, and the driving safety of the vehicle is improved.
It is understood that the backup schemes executed in this step may be unified, that is, the vehicles adopt the same backup scheme in different driving scenarios, for example, the lane change is cancelled to return to the original lane, or the vehicle is directly braked, or the lane change is cancelled after the vehicle is separated from the passing target vehicle.
In addition, when the overtaking is cancelled and a backup scheme is executed, the following modes can be adopted in the step: acquiring environmental data of the periphery of the vehicle; determining a driving scene of the vehicle according to the acquired environmental data; and selecting a backup scheme corresponding to the determined driving scene and executing. That is to say, this step can make the vehicle execute different backup schemes under different driving scenes, thereby promote the flexibility of the vehicle when executing the backup schemes.
In order to avoid unnecessary control of the vehicle, after the overtaking is cancelled and the backup scheme is executed, the following contents can be further included in the step: determining whether a vehicle meets a second preset condition between receiving the current overtaking instruction and the previous overtaking instruction, wherein the second preset condition can be whether at least one of a time interval and a distance interval between two times of receiving the instructions is smaller than a preset threshold value; if so, maintaining the vehicle to run on the original lane, otherwise controlling the vehicle to perform lane change observation. That is, since the time or distance between the vehicle receiving the current overtaking command and the previous overtaking command is small, the previous overtaking is proved to be unable to be completed after the lane change detection, and the vehicle is unable to complete the overtaking according to the current overtaking command, the vehicle is not controlled to continue to run on the original lane.
Therefore, after the vehicle in the application receives the overtaking command, the obstacle information in front of the overtaking target vehicle is obtained through lane change observation, and then whether overtaking is carried out or not is determined according to the obtained obstacle information, so that the success rate of overtaking of the vehicle and the lane change rationality are improved, and the driving safety of the vehicle is further enhanced.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a lane change observation performed by a vehicle according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the vehicle is traveling in a leftmost lane of a current road; fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a lane change observation performed by a vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present application, wherein the vehicle travels in a middle lane of a current road.
Fig. 4 is a structural view of an apparatus for controlling running of a vehicle according to a fourth embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the apparatus including: a control unit 401, an acquisition unit 402, and a processing unit 403.
And the control unit 401 is used for executing lane change observation after the vehicle receives the overtaking command in the running process.
And a control unit 401, configured to control the vehicle to perform lane change observation if the vehicle receives an overtaking command during a driving process of the vehicle. That is to say, after the vehicle in the present application receives the overtaking command, the vehicle is not directly controlled to make lane change and overtake the vehicle ahead, but lane change observation is performed first, and then whether to make an overtaking is determined according to the observation result.
This is because, in some driving scenarios of the vehicle, for example, a large vehicle (bus, truck, etc.) is in front of the vehicle, which may obstruct the view of the current vehicle. And when the large vehicle runs at a slow speed or is static, the current vehicle can make a decision to change lanes and overtake. However, since the sight line is blocked, the current vehicle cannot accurately sense the front of the passing target vehicle, and if an unknown obstacle exists in front of the passing target vehicle, the current vehicle is very likely to fail in passing this time, so that the safety of vehicle driving is reduced.
Therefore, the control unit 401 controls lane change observation performed by the vehicle, that is, a process of controlling the vehicle to change its lane of travel to observe ahead of the passing target vehicle. Therefore, the control unit 401 can acquire the obstacle information originally blocked by the passing target vehicle by controlling the vehicle to perform lane change observation.
In addition, in order to improve the accuracy of performing lane change observation and avoid the vehicle performing redundant operations, the control unit 401 may further include the following before performing lane change observation: and determining whether the overtaking target vehicle obstructs the sight of the current vehicle, if so, continuing to execute lane change observation, and otherwise, executing an overtaking command.
That is, the control unit 401 can perform lane change observation for each passing instruction, thereby more accurately acquiring the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle; or only when the sight line of the current vehicle is blocked by the overtaking target vehicle, the vehicle can be controlled to perform lane-changing observation.
An obtaining unit 402, configured to obtain information of an obstacle in front of the passing target vehicle through lane change observation.
The acquisition unit 402 acquires obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle after the control unit 401 controls the vehicle to perform lane change observation. That is, the acquisition unit 402 more accurately acquires the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle after the vehicle performs lane change observation to change the lane of travel, since the line of sight originally blocked by the passing target vehicle is restored.
The obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle acquired by the acquiring unit 402 is preferably obstacle information in front of a lane where the passing target vehicle is located, and the lane where the passing target vehicle is located is a lane before the current vehicle changes lanes. Therefore, the acquisition unit 402 only needs to observe the front of the lane where the passing target vehicle is located, and the acquisition process of the obstacle information is simplified.
The obstacle information in front of the overtaking target vehicle can still be obtained under the condition that the sight line of the current vehicle is blocked, namely the overtaking of the vehicle at this time has a certain basis and is not performed under the condition that the front condition is completely unknown.
However, since the current vehicle view is necessarily partially blocked, in order to ensure the accuracy of the acquired obstacle information and further improve the safety of vehicle driving, the acquiring unit 402 may further include the following after acquiring the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle through lane change observation: determining obstacle information acquired before lane change observation; comparing the obtained obstacle information after lane change observation with the obtained obstacle information before lane change observation; and determining whether newly added obstacle information appears according to the comparison result, if so, acquiring the newly added obstacle information, and otherwise, executing an overtaking instruction.
And the processing unit 403 is configured to determine whether the obstacle information meets a first preset condition, cancel the overtaking and execute a backup scheme if the obstacle information meets the first preset condition, and otherwise execute the overtaking instruction.
After the obtaining unit 402 obtains the obstacle information in front of the passing target vehicle, the processing unit 403 first determines whether the obtained obstacle information satisfies a first preset condition, and if so, cancels passing and executes a backup scheme, and if not, executes the received passing instruction.
Specifically, when determining whether the obstacle information satisfies the first preset condition, the processing unit 403 may determine whether the acquired obstacle information includes a newly added vehicle, may determine whether the number of newly added vehicles exceeds a first threshold, may determine whether the distance between the current vehicle and the newly added vehicle is smaller than a second threshold, and the like. The newly added vehicle in the processing unit 403 is a vehicle located in front of the passing target vehicle. That is, the processing unit 403 can cancel the passing in the case where other vehicles are still present in front of the passing target vehicle after the lane change observation, thereby avoiding the occurrence of an accident and improving the safety of vehicle driving.
It is understood that the backup scheme executed in the processing unit 403 may be uniform, that is, the vehicles adopt the same backup scheme under different driving scenarios, for example, the lane change is cancelled to return to the original lane, or the vehicle is directly braked, or the lane change is cancelled after the vehicle is separated from the passing target vehicle.
In addition, the processing unit 403 may adopt the following manner when canceling the overtaking and executing the backup scheme: acquiring environmental data of the periphery of the vehicle; determining a driving scene of the vehicle according to the acquired environmental data; and selecting a backup scheme corresponding to the determined driving scene and executing. That is, the processing unit 403 can enable the vehicle to execute different backup schemes under different driving scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of the vehicle in executing the backup schemes.
To avoid unnecessary control of the vehicle, the processing unit 403 may further include the following after canceling the overtaking and executing the backup scheme: determining whether a vehicle meets a second preset condition between receiving the current overtaking instruction and the previous overtaking instruction, wherein the second preset condition can be whether at least one of a time interval and a distance interval between two times of receiving the instructions is smaller than a preset threshold value; if so, maintaining the vehicle to run on the original lane, otherwise controlling the vehicle to perform lane change observation. That is, since the time or distance between the vehicle receiving the current overtaking command and the previous overtaking command is small, the previous overtaking is proved to be unable to be completed after the lane change detection, and the vehicle is unable to complete the overtaking according to the current overtaking command, the vehicle is not controlled to continue to run on the original lane.
