Description

Brake system, method and device, and fatigue driving model training method and device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of automatic driving, in particular to a vehicle braking system, a vehicle braking method, a vehicle braking device, a fatigue driving model training method and a fatigue driving model training device.

Background

With the development of the times, artificial intelligence is gradually widely applied in various fields, and therefore emerging concepts such as 'automatic driving', 'unmanned vehicle' and the like are derived. Road scene analysis and environment identification are difficult problems which need to be overcome in the field of automatic driving, and whether correct and rapid reaction and processing can be carried out aiming at a real-time road environment is a key factor for ensuring the safety of automatic driving. Therefore, one of the important points of research in the field of automatic driving is the active safety technology of automobiles.

AEB (automatic Emergency Braking) is an active safety technology for automobiles. AEB is currently one of the active safety technologies that has been widely used in medium and high end vehicle models to automatically perform emergency braking of a vehicle to avoid a collision or reduce collision injuries when the vehicle is about to collide with a forward target without a corresponding reaction from the driver. The simplest principle of the AEB system is that a radar is adopted to measure the distance between the AEB system and a front vehicle or an obstacle, then a data analysis module is utilized to compare the measured distance with an alarm distance and a safety distance respectively, alarm prompt is carried out when the measured distance is smaller than the alarm distance, and the AEB system can be started even if a driver does not have to step on a brake pedal when the measured distance is smaller than the safety distance, so that the vehicle is automatically braked, and safe driving is guaranteed for safe travel.

However, AEB technology also has significant drawbacks: because it can trigger very strong braking, in case the vehicle has the false detection to the target detection in front, then will take place unnecessary emergency braking, this not only can seriously influence driving experience, still can cause serious accidents such as driver's injury, rear-end collision of the car after even.

To reduce false triggers, existing AEB systems set very strict trigger conditions and exit logic. If the front collision obstacle must satisfy certain conditions of position and speed to trigger AEB, the driver must continuously step on the accelerator pedal to trigger AEB, and the like. This has resulted in many AEB systems not being able to react to all dangerous situations.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It is to be noted that the terms "comprises" and "comprising" and any variations thereof in the embodiments and drawings of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

For clearly and clearly explaining the contents of the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the implementation principle of the embodiments of the present invention: the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention mainly utilizes a Driver Monitoring System (DMS) to determine the mental state of the Driver, thereby judging the reaction state of the Driver according to the mental state and sending the judgment result to the automatic emergency braking device. The automatic emergency braking device adjusts its own braking strategy according to the received judgment result.

The embodiment of the invention mainly utilizes a fatigue driving detection model to determine the mental state of the driver, wherein the identification of the mental state of the driver is the basis. It can be appreciated that before using the polarity of the fatigue driving detection model, the initial deep regression network model needs to be trained using a training sample set to obtain the fatigue driving detection model. For a specific training process, please refer to the following contents of fig. 1 a.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1a, fig. 1a is a flowchart of a training method of a fatigue driving model according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to the field of automatic driving, and can be generally integrated into a training device of the fatigue driving model, and the training device can be implemented by software and/or hardware. As shown in fig. 1a, the method comprises:

102. an image containing a face region of a driver is acquired.

In this embodiment, the source of the image including the face area of the driver may be an image in the public data set, or an image of the driver collected by a camera of the vehicle may be acquired from a storage device of the vehicle. In some cases, the sample image may also be directly obtained, for example, an image acquired by a camera of a vehicle in real time is directly obtained, after the face is detected and segmented, the face image is labeled, and the labeled image is used as the sample image, that is, a training sample set.

It should be noted that, after the face region is monitored in step 102, an image with a small size and containing only a face can be obtained by means of cutting, which is beneficial to reducing the engineering quantity of feature extraction and network training and improving the accuracy of key point positioning.

104. And carrying out key point positioning on the face region, and determining a target region containing key points, wherein the target region at least comprises eyes and a mouth.

For example, the face region may be subjected to keypoint localization using face keypoint detection techniques. The face key point detection is also called face key point positioning or face alignment, and refers to positioning key region positions of a face, including eyebrows, eyes, a nose, a mouth, a face contour and the like, of a given face image. Currently, representative face keypoint detection methods include methods for manually designing features such as ASM (Active Shape Model), AAM (Active Appearance Model), CPR (Cascaded Shape regression), and methods for DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network), TCDCN (task-Constrained Deep Convolutional Network), mtcn (Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Network), TCNN (threaded Convolutional Neural Network), DAN (Deep Convolutional Network), and the like, which utilize Deep learning. Therefore, according to the method and the device, a proper method can be selected to realize the positioning of the key points of the human face according to factors such as the actual algorithm running speed and efficiency.

106. And generating a training sample set based on the mental state categories of the drivers respectively corresponding to different eye features and mouth features and different eye features and mouth features in the plurality of images.

In the present embodiment, a supervised training mode is preferably used. Thus, the images in the training sample set can be classified into the following categories:

1. closed-eye (squint) images while the driver is driving; 2. an image of the eyes of the driver being open when normal; 3. an image of the mouth opening (yawning) while the driver is driving; 4. the driver normally drives an image of the mouth closing. In this embodiment, the source of the face key point sample image may be an image in the public data set, or an image of a driver collected by a camera of a vehicle may be acquired from a storage device of the vehicle. In some cases, the sample image may also be directly obtained, for example, an image acquired by a camera of a vehicle in real time is directly obtained, after the face is detected and segmented, the face image is labeled, and the labeled image is used as the sample image, that is, a training sample set.

108. And training the initial deep regression network model based on the training sample set to obtain a fatigue driving detection model, wherein the fatigue driving detection model enables the eye characteristics and the mouth characteristics in each image in the training sample set to be associated with the mental state category of the driver corresponding to the image.

After the training sample set is obtained, the sample images can be input into a pre-established initial depth regression network model, so that the initial depth regression network model is trained by using the face key point sample images to obtain a fatigue driving detection model, and the eye features and the mouth features in each image in the training sample set are associated with the mental state category of the driver corresponding to the image by the fatigue driving detection model.

In the implementation example of the present application, a deep convolutional neural network can be adopted as the initial deep regression network model. In addition to designing a new deep convolutional neural network by self, a transfer learning method can also be adopted, the existing deep convolutional neural network which obtains a better result in the field of face detection is utilized, the output category number and the structures of other parts which possibly need to be modified are correspondingly modified, the existing fully trained parameters in the original network model are directly adopted as an initial deep convolutional network model, and a fine tuning method is adopted to train the neural network by utilizing a face sample image.

By processing the key point images of the face of the driver by using the depth regression network model, the state of the driver can be preliminarily classified: whether closed-eye napping or open-mouth napping and the like exist; meanwhile, whether the driver blinks slowly or the eyeballs are still can be judged in a mode of continuously collecting facial images of the driver within a plurality of adjacent frames and positioning the positions of the eyeballs of the driver; secondly, whether the face of the driver is inclined to one side or not and whether the driver carries out a phone call or not can be judged by comparing the key features of the face, because the feature extraction result of the driver is different from the feature extraction result when the driver drives normally (the face faces the middle) at the moment.

In conclusion, when the face of the driver is recognized to face to one side, yawning or calling and the like, the driver is determined to be in the distraction state; or if the states of eye closure, slow blinking or long-time stay of sight of the driver and the like are recognized, the driver is judged to be in a fatigue state.

After the training of the fatigue driving model is completed, the mental state of the driver during driving can be identified by using the model. The specific identification process is as follows:

referring to fig. 1b, fig. 1b is a flowchart of a method for executing a fatigue driving detection model based on object detection and deep learning according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method can be applied to the field of automatic driving and can be generally integrated in a driver monitoring device, as shown in fig. 1b, the method includes:

110. and detecting a human face area by acquiring a driver monitoring picture acquired by an image sensor.

Currently, the commonly used Face detection algorithms are classified into two types, namely, a traditional feature extraction algorithm and a deep learning algorithm, the traditional feature extraction algorithm comprises a HOG (Histogram of Oriented gradient) algorithm, an Adaboost (iterative) algorithm and the like, and the representative network models of the traditional feature extraction algorithm and the deep learning algorithm comprise Face R-CNN (Region-CNN, regional convolutional neural network), SSH (single step Face detection algorithm), PyramidBox (pyramid network) and the like. In the present application example, it can be considered that the image containing the face of the driver is segmented using a deep learning network model based on U-Net (U-network). Adopting a supervised training mode, taking the sample image of the marked face area as a training set, and training and fine-tuning the network; then, a driver monitoring picture collected by an image sensor is used as input, and the output of the neural network is utilized to mark an area image containing a human face, so that the aim of human face detection is fulfilled.

In addition, in some possible implementation manners of the embodiment of the application, other deep learning methods can be used to implement face detection, so as to improve the accuracy of detection.

120. Determining a target region containing key points by using a human face key point detection technology, wherein the target region at least comprises eyes and a mouth.

The face key point detection is also called face key point positioning or face alignment, and refers to positioning key region positions of a face, including eyebrows, eyes, a nose, a mouth, a face contour and the like, of a given face image. Currently, representative face key point detection methods include methods of manually designing features such as ASM (Active Shape Model), AAM (Active appearance Model), CPR (Cascaded Shape regression), and methods of DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network), TCDCN (task-Constrained Deep Convolutional Network), mtcn (Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Network), TCNN (threaded Convolutional Neural Network), DAN (Deep adaptive Neural Network), and Deep Alignment Network, which utilize Deep learning. Therefore, according to the method and the device, a proper method can be selected to realize the positioning of the key points of the human face according to factors such as the actual algorithm running speed and efficiency.

130. Identifying the eye state of the driver based on a preset fatigue driving detection model so as to judge whether the driver is in a fatigue state; and/or identifying the mouth state of the driver based on a preset fatigue driving detection model to judge whether the driver is in the distraction state.

The distraction state is defined as the driver's occurrence of a number of special actions, such as face facing to one side, yawning or calling, etc. The distraction state is completed by monitoring the facial expression, the action and the like of the driver, and if one or more states occur, the distraction state is judged. In the embodiment, a target area of a plurality of continuous adjacent frame number images is identified by using a volume based on a preset fatigue driving detection model, and if the driver is in a calling state or a yawning state, the driver is determined to be in a distraction state.

In this embodiment, the fatigue state is mainly determined by monitoring the eye state of the driver, and if the target area of a plurality of consecutive images of the number of neighboring frames is identified by using the convolutional neural network, and the eyeball position of the driver is determined to determine that the driver is in a state of slow blinking or stiff and motionless eyeball, the driver is determined to be in the fatigue state.

As can be seen from the above, the present embodiment provides a fatigue driving detection model based on object detection and deep learning. The real-time mental state of the driver can be accurately judged through methods such as face detection, key point positioning, deep learning based on a CNN convolutional network and the like. The algorithm described above may be applied during braking of a vehicle. And sending the judgment result of the reaction state of the driver obtained by the algorithm to an automatic emergency braking device, wherein the judgment result can be used as the input of the automatic emergency braking device and is used for indicating the automatic emergency braking device to adjust the braking strategy.

Next, a specific implementation of a vehicle braking method based on the fatigue driving detection model of the above object detection and deep learning provided in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Example two

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a braking method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to automatic driving, can be executed by a driver monitoring device, can be realized in a software and/or hardware mode, and can be generally applied to a braking system of a vehicle such as a vehicle-mounted Computer, a vehicle-mounted Industrial control Computer (IPC), and the like. As shown in fig. 2, the braking method for a vehicle provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

210. and identifying the image containing the face area of the driver based on a preset fatigue driving detection model, and determining the mental state of the driver.

The mental state of the driver includes a fatigue state, a distraction state, a non-fatigue state, a non-distraction state and the like. The above-described mental state can be determined by recognizing an image of the face area of the driver. In this embodiment, the driver monitoring device may utilize the image sensor to capture the driver in real time, and then transmit the monitoring image to the processor of the driver monitoring device as the input of the fatigue driving monitoring model. The basic implementation process of the fatigue driving monitoring model is as follows:

firstly, face detection can be carried out, a face area is defined, and whether size normalization is carried out or not is judged according to requirements; then inputting the face region image into a face key point detection model, wherein the model can extract the features of the image to be processed, map the extracted features and finally mark key points such as human eyes, lips, ears and the like; and finally, classifying the key point images by using a depth regression network model, and judging whether fatigue or distraction behaviors such as eye closure, yawning, calling and the like exist in the driver. Specifically, the working principle and the specific implementation manner of each step of the fatigue driving monitoring model can be referred to above, and this embodiment is not described again. In this embodiment, by using the fatigue monitoring model, it can be accurately determined whether the driver is in a distracted or fatigue state.

220. And judging the reaction state of the driver according to the mental state, sending the judgment result to the automatic emergency braking device, and taking the judgment result as the input of the automatic emergency braking device for indicating the automatic emergency braking device to adjust the braking strategy.

The reaction state of the driver can be divided into three levels: a high reaction state, a medium reaction state and a low reaction state. However, other quantitative means may be employed to determine the result of the ranking of the mental state. In this example, a high reaction state, a medium reaction state, and a low reaction state are described as examples.

For example, the determination of the reaction state of the driver according to the mental state may specifically include, but is not limited to, the following embodiments:

(1) the reaction state of the driver is determined according to the fatigue state and/or the distraction state.

And if the driver is not in the distraction state or the fatigue state, determining that the reaction state of the driver is a high reaction state. In this state, the driving process is safer; if the driver is in a distraction state or in a fatigue state, or in both a distraction state and a fatigue state, it is determined that the driver is in a low-reaction state. In this state, the driver has no time to react to a dangerous situation that may occur, and the driving process is risky.

Further, as an optional implementation manner, when determining the reaction state of the driver, the determination may be performed in combination with the line-of-sight gaze direction of the driver, that is:

(2) and determining the reaction state of the driver according to the fatigue state, the distraction state and the sight line direction of the driver.

The method can specifically be as follows: detecting the posture of the eyeball of the driver and the position change of the eyeball of the driver relative to the eye socket, and determining the sight watching direction of the driver; and judging whether the sight line watching direction is the direction of the risk area or not, and determining the reaction state of the driver according to the judgment result.

The risk area refers to an area with possibility of collision, the automatic emergency braking device detects the area and sends a detection result to the driver monitoring device, and the driver monitoring device judges whether the driver notices the risk area.

Specifically, the driver monitoring device can shoot images of the driver in real time through an image sensor, and judge the head orientation of the driver through a target detection or deep learning method so as to determine the sight gaze direction of the driver; or the determination result of the face orientation of the driver in the step 130 can be directly used to calculate and estimate the head orientation of the driver more precisely so as to determine the gaze direction of the driver.

In this embodiment, the gaze direction of the driver can be estimated from the captured result of the posture of the eyeball of the driver and the relative orientation of the eyeball of the driver to the eye socket. Normally, if it is true that there is a risk of collision during the travel of the vehicle, the driver should concentrate his line of sight on the area of potential collision objects. The driver monitoring device can use this a priori information to determine whether the driver can react to the collision in time.

In the actual driving process, when the driver is in a fatigue state or a distraction state, if the sight line does not gaze at a risk area, the possibility of accidents or accidents is greatly increased, so that the embodiment of judging the mental state of the driver by detecting whether the sight line gaze direction of the driver is the risk area direction can be used as a supplement of the embodiment of judging the mental state according to whether the driver is in the fatigue state and/or the distraction state, namely the embodiment (2) can be used as a supplement of the embodiment (1), and the sensitivity and the accuracy of the processing of the driver monitoring device are further improved.

Specifically, on the basis of the above implementation, if it is determined that the driver is not in the distraction state or in the fatigue state and it is determined that the driver's gaze direction is the direction of the risk area, it may be further determined that the reaction state of the driver is the high reaction state. However, if the driver is determined not to be in the distraction state or the fatigue state, but the driver is determined to be in the distraction or the fatigue state when the driver is determined to be in the non-risk area direction of the sight gaze direction, the driver is determined to be in the neutral reaction state.

(3) If a collision warning from the automatic emergency braking device is detected, the reaction of the driver to the collision warning is judged, and the reaction state of the driver is determined.

It should be noted that, as another alternative embodiment, the above-mentioned embodiment (3) may issue a collision warning to remind the driver of danger when the automatic emergency braking device detects that a risk area exists, and may determine the reaction state of the driver according to the reaction of the user to the collision warning. This embodiment can be regarded as an embodiment in which the reaction state is determined according to the state of mind of the driver, that is, an embodiment in which the embodiment (1) is arranged in parallel, and the execution order of the two embodiments is not sequential, and may be performed simultaneously or sequentially.

It should be noted that, the above-mentioned embodiment (3) may be implemented as an embodiment in parallel with the embodiment (2), and both may be implemented simultaneously, that is, when the automatic emergency braking device detects that there is a risk area, the collision warning may be issued immediately to warn the driver that there is a risk, and the reaction state of the driver may be determined according to the reaction of the user to the collision warning. Meanwhile, the reaction state of the driver can also be determined according to the fatigue state, the distraction state, and the line-of-sight direction of the driver in embodiment (2).

Preferably, the embodiment (3) may be further modified, and specifically, the modified embodiment may include:

when the detection result of the risk-existing region sent by the automatic emergency braking device is received, it may be determined whether the driver is in distraction or in fatigue, and if the driver is in distraction or in fatigue, or both states exist, that is, when the driver is in a low-reaction state, an alarm may be issued to remind the driver, so as to further determine the reaction state of the driver, and the embodiment (3) to be improved is executed after the embodiment (2). The reason for setting like this is that if the driver is in the high reaction state, then need not to send out the warning driver and also can notice the risk area automatically to avoid in case monitoring the risk then send out the warning and the condition of the frequent early warning that leads to takes place, help promoting driver's driving experience.

Specifically, when detecting the reaction of the driver to the collision alarm, the driver monitoring device may capture the driver's motion, head orientation and sight line direction in real time through the image sensor, and analyze the driver's behavior by using the related algorithm mentioned in the above steps. If the driver does not generate any action, sight line change and the like within a short period of time after the alarm is given, the driver is considered not to react to the alarm, and at this time, the reaction state of the driver can be further explained as a low reaction state.

In this embodiment, the driver monitoring device determines the reaction state of the driver, and aims to: after the reaction state is sent to the automatic emergency braking device, the automatic emergency braking device can adjust the braking strategy of the automatic emergency braking device according to the evaluation result. Illustratively, if the driver reaction state is higher, it indicates that there is a greater possibility that an emergency may be effectively dealt with. The automatic emergency braking device may then suitably reduce its intervention level, for example by increasing the confidence interval for obstacle detection, or by increasing the threshold for triggering the automatic braking function, or by delaying the intervention time, etc. For example, if the reaction state of the driver is lower, the possibility that the emergency situation cannot be effectively dealt with is higher. At this time, the automatic emergency braking device should intervene more, that is, danger can be avoided by reducing the confidence threshold of obstacle detection, or reducing the threshold for triggering the automatic braking function, or advancing the intervention time.

The embodiment provides a technical scheme for combining a driver monitoring device with an automatic emergency braking device, and information such as attention, fatigue condition and dangerous actions of a driver can be effectively acquired by using a sensor such as a camera in the driver monitoring device. And the reaction level of the driver is determined according to the information, so that the automatic emergency braking device can be indicated according to the reaction level to improve the processing logic of the automatic emergency braking device, and the triggering accuracy and safety of the automatic emergency braking device are improved.

EXAMPLE III

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a braking method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to automatic driving, can be executed by an automatic emergency braking device, can be realized in a software and/or hardware mode, and can be applied to a braking system of a vehicle such as a vehicle-mounted Computer and a vehicle-mounted Industrial Personal Computer (IPC), and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. As shown in fig. 3, the braking method for a vehicle provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

310. and receiving a judgment result of the reaction state of the driver, which is sent by the driver monitoring device.

The judgment result of the reaction state of the driver sent by the driver monitoring device is determined by the driver monitoring device according to the mental state of the driver, the mental state of the driver is obtained by the driver monitoring device based on a preset fatigue driving detection model through identifying an image containing a face area of the driver, and the mental state comprises a fatigue state or a distraction state or both the fatigue state and the distraction state. In this embodiment, the driver may be photographed in real time by an image sensor in the driver monitoring device, and the image may be processed as an input of the fatigue driving monitoring model. The working principle of the fatigue driving monitoring model can be referred to above, and this embodiment is not described again. In this embodiment, the driver monitoring device image sensor is combined with the fatigue monitoring model, so that whether the driver is in a distraction or fatigue state can be accurately judged.

320. And adjusting the braking strategy according to the judgment result.

For example, in the present embodiment, the braking strategy includes, but is not limited to, a signaling interval for obstacle detection by the automatic emergency braking device. In the traditional automatic emergency braking device, a confidence interval is always an invariant, and the influence of the state of a driver on risk judgment is not considered, so that the comfort of driving experience is sacrificed, and the safety of travel is guaranteed; or in order to guarantee the driving experience, the confidence interval is increased, and higher risks are brought to the driving of the vehicle. In the embodiment of the application, the confidence interval can be fed back and adjusted in real time according to the judgment result of the reaction state of the driver.

For example, in this embodiment, the braking strategy further includes, but is not limited to, an intervention time TTC (time to collision) of an automatic emergency braking device in a braking process, where TTC refers to a remaining time of collision with an obstacle if the vehicle continues a current motion state.

In this embodiment, if the driver reaction state is higher, it indicates that there is a higher possibility that the emergency can be effectively dealt with. The automatic emergency braking device may then suitably reduce its intervention level, for example by increasing the confidence level in the detection of an obstacle, or by increasing the threshold value for triggering the automatic braking function, or by delaying the intervention time, etc. On the contrary, if the reaction state of the driver is lower, the possibility that the emergency situation cannot be effectively dealt with is higher. At this time, the automatic emergency braking device should intervene more, that is, danger can be avoided by reducing the confidence threshold of obstacle detection, or reducing the threshold for triggering the automatic braking function, or advancing the intervention time.

The embodiment provides a technical scheme for combining the driver monitoring device with the automatic emergency braking device, and information such as attention, fatigue condition and dangerous action of a driver can be effectively acquired by using sensors such as a camera in the driver monitoring device system. Based on this information, the driver monitoring device can determine the reaction state of the driver and send it to the automatic emergency braking device. The automatic emergency braking device can improve the processing logic of the automatic emergency braking device according to the reaction state, for example, the confidence threshold value of the automatic emergency braking device for obstacle detection can be adjusted according to the reaction state, or the intervention time can be adjusted, so that the triggering accuracy and safety of the automatic emergency braking device are improved.

Example four

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a braking method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the braking method is applied to automatic driving and can be executed by an automatic emergency braking device. The embodiment is optimized on the basis of the above embodiment, and different confidence threshold adjustment modes are provided for different reaction states of the driver. As shown in fig. 4, the braking method for a vehicle provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

400. when the risk area is detected, a detection result of the existence of the risk area is sent to the driver monitoring device.

Wherein the risk area is an area where an obstacle exists when a set distance from the vehicle is satisfied.

410. And receiving a judgment result of the reaction state of the driver, which is sent by the driver monitoring device based on the detection result.

420. And if the judgment result is that the driver is in a high reaction state, increasing the confidence interval for the obstacle detection.

In this embodiment, if the driver is in the high-response state, it indicates that there is a high possibility that the driver can deal with the potential driving danger smoothly, and therefore, the confidence interval should be increased, for example, the confidence interval may be increased to 90% -100% or more, so as to avoid the driver monitoring device from being triggered by mistake and generating unnecessary risks.

430. If the driver is in a low reaction state, the confidence threshold for the obstacle detection is adjusted to be low.

In this embodiment, if the driver is in the low-response state, it indicates that the driver has a relatively low possibility to correctly judge and handle the potential risk, and therefore, the confidence interval should be narrowed, for example, the confidence may be decreased to below 50%, specifically, to a range of 30% -50%, so that the automatic emergency braking device can be triggered more easily.

440. And if the evaluation result is that the driver is in the middle reaction state, adjusting the confidence threshold value for the obstacle detection to be within the preset confidence threshold value range.

Wherein, the preset confidence interval can be set as an empirical value of 50% -70%.

It should be noted that, the

above steps

420, 430, and 440 are different braking strategy adjustment manners corresponding to different reaction states of the driver, and the three steps are parallel steps, and there is no precedence in the execution sequence.

In the technical scheme of the embodiment, the variable confidence interval adjusting system fully considers the subjective factor of the driving state of the driver and objective factors such as the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle, the driving speed and the like, so that the triggering of the automatic emergency braking device is more intelligent.

EXAMPLE five

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a braking method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the braking method is applied to automatic driving and can be executed by an automatic emergency braking device. The embodiment is optimized on the basis of the above embodiment, and different intervention times are given for different reaction states of the driver. As shown in fig. 5, the braking method for a vehicle provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

510. And receiving a judgment result of the reaction state of the driver, which is sent by the driver monitoring device based on the detection result.

520. If the driver is in a high-reaction state as a result of the evaluation, a braking process of the vehicle is initiated when the remaining time for detecting a collision with an obstacle reaches a first time threshold.

In this embodiment, if the driver is in a high-response state, which indicates that the driver has a high possibility to smoothly handle the potential driving danger, the automatic emergency braking device may intervene in the automatic emergency braking device again in a shorter time at TTC, that is, in a time closer to the obstacle, thereby preventing the automatic emergency braking device from being triggered by mistake. Wherein the first time threshold is an empirical value indicating the latest time to initiate intervention braking.

530. If the driver is in the low-reaction state as a result of the evaluation, the braking process of the vehicle is initiated before the remaining time for detecting a collision with an obstacle reaches a second time threshold.

In this embodiment, if the driver is in a low-response state, which indicates that the driver has a lower possibility of correctly determining and handling the risk potential, then to ensure the safety to the maximum extent, the braking process should be involved when the TTC is larger, i.e. farther away from the obstacle and earlier. And the second time threshold is the latest time for intervention braking, and is greater than the first time threshold. In order to increase the driving safety, the automatic emergency braking device should intervene in the automatic process between the arrival of the second time threshold.

It should be noted that, the

above steps

520 and 530 are different braking strategy adjustment manners corresponding to different reaction states of the driver, and the three steps are parallel steps, and there is no difference in the execution order.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the automatic emergency braking device ensures driving safety and avoids false triggering of the automatic emergency braking device by adjusting the time of the automatic emergency braking device in the braking process.

It should be further noted that, for the two different braking strategy adjustment manners provided in the fifth embodiment and the fourth embodiment, when the automatic emergency braking device performs braking strategy adjustment, the two different strategy adjustment manners may be sampled simultaneously, and any one of the two different strategy adjustment manners may also be adopted by the automatic emergency braking device, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
