In order to improve the efficiency of obtaining map data by a vehicle, the embodiment of the application provides a map data transmission method, a map data transmission system, an edge server and a storage medium. Next, a map data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present application is first described.

The map data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application is applied to a map data transmission system, the system comprises a vehicle-mounted end and a road side end, the vehicle-mounted end comprises vehicle-mounted equipment and a vehicle-mounted communication unit, the road side end comprises a road side communication unit and an edge server, the vehicle-mounted communication unit is connected with the road side communication unit through a communication channel, and data transparent transmission can be achieved between the vehicle-mounted communication unit and the road side communication unit. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include the following steps.

And S102, the roadside communication unit acquires the signal intensity of a communication channel between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit and sends the signal intensity to the edge server.

And S106, the vehicle-mounted equipment obtains map data based on the received data packets.

By applying the scheme of the embodiment of the application, the vehicle-mounted equipment sends a map data distribution request to the roadside communication unit through the vehicle-mounted communication unit to request the roadside terminal to distribute the map data, the roadside communication unit acquires the signal intensity of a communication channel between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit after receiving the map data distribution request, sends the acquired signal intensity to the edge server, the edge server sets the packet size and the data packet sending frequency according to the signal intensity, then divides the map data into a plurality of data packets according to the packet size, and sends each data packet to the vehicle-mounted subsystem according to the data packet sending frequency. The transmission distance between the vehicle-mounted communication unit and the roadside communication unit is short, and the edge server sets the packet size and the data packet sending frequency based on the signal strength, so that the influence of the communication quality of a communication channel on map data transmission is reduced, the efficiency of data packet transmission is ensured as much as possible, and thus, the vehicle-mounted equipment can obtain map data based on the received data packets, and the efficiency of obtaining the map data by the vehicle is improved.

In the embodiment of the application, the vehicle-mounted end is a general name of a vehicle and equipment (such as vehicle-mounted equipment and a vehicle-mounted communication unit) which is installed on the vehicle and can realize a vehicle automatic driving control function, the road-side end is a general name of equipment which is installed on a road side and assists the vehicle automatic driving, and the road-side end can be composed of traffic lights, a control box, an edge server, a road-side communication unit, a camera, a radar sensor and other equipment and can acquire the driving condition of the vehicle, the dynamic condition of the road and the like in real time.

When the vehicle-mounted equipment has a request for acquiring the map data, for example, when navigation is needed, the vehicle-mounted equipment sends a map data distribution request to the roadside communication unit through the vehicle-mounted communication unit so as to request the roadside terminal to distribute the map data.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, S101 may specifically be: when a vehicle provided with the vehicle-mounted equipment enters the operation design domain range of the roadside communication unit, the vehicle-mounted equipment sends a map data distribution request to the roadside communication unit through the vehicle-mounted communication unit.

When a vehicle enters into an ODD (Operational Design Domain) range of a roadside communication unit, in order to ensure automatic driving of the vehicle, map data within the ODD range needs to be acquired from a roadside end, and therefore, an on-board device mounted on the vehicle sends a map data distribution request to the roadside communication unit through the on-board communication unit to request the roadside end to distribute the map data.

When a vehicle enters the ODD range of the roadside communication unit, a sensor (such as a camera, a laser radar, a millimeter wave radar and the like) on the roadside detects that the vehicle enters, the sensor sends a reminding message of entering the ODD range to the vehicle-mounted equipment through the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit, and the vehicle-mounted equipment sends a map data distribution request to the roadside communication unit through the vehicle-mounted communication unit after receiving the reminding message.

The method for sending the map data distribution request to the roadside communication unit by the vehicle-mounted device through the vehicle-mounted communication unit may specifically be: the vehicle-mounted device sends a Basic Safety Message (BSM) to the roadside communication unit through the vehicle-mounted communication unit, a flag bit of a map data distribution request is added in the BSM, when the roadside end is requested to distribute the map data, the flag bit is set to be a preset flag value (for example, 1), after the roadside communication unit receives the BSM, the flag bit is read from the BSM, the flag bit is identified, and if the flag bit is the preset flag value, the vehicle-mounted device is determined to request to distribute the map data.

The vehicle-mounted equipment can also send a custom request message meeting the communication protocol to the roadside communication unit through the vehicle-mounted communication unit so as to request for distributing the map data. The information of the vehicle, such as the identification, the heading angle, the speed, the position, etc. of the vehicle, can also be included in the message of the vehicle-mounted device initiating the request.

After receiving the map data distribution request, the roadside communication unit acquires the signal strength of a communication channel between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit. A signal intensity detector can be arranged in the roadside communication unit, and the signal intensity detector can detect the signal intensity of a communication channel between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit through a channel detection technology; of course, the roadside communication unit may also ascertain the time length for the vehicle-mounted communication unit to download data, the transmission distance between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit, and whether there is transmission information such as occlusion between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit through the communication establishment process with the vehicle-mounted communication unit. Generally, the larger the transmission distance, the more the times of packet loss retransmission are increased, and the longer the time length of downloading data is, so that the signal strength is decreased; on the contrary, the smaller the transmission distance, the less the number of times of packet loss retransmission is performed during transmission, and the shorter the duration of downloading data is, so that the signal strength is higher, and the signal strength is reduced when an obstruction exists. Therefore, further based on these transmission information, the signal strength of the communication channel between the roadside communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit can be calculated. From the analysis, the size of the signal strength can determine the mode of the communication channel for transmitting the map data, so that the roadside communication unit sends the acquired signal strength to the edge server, and the edge server can set the packet size and the data packet sending frequency according to the signal strength, so that the map data distribution can achieve the purposes of rapidness, high efficiency, completeness and reliability as much as possible.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the manner in which the edge server sets the packet size and the data packet transmission frequency may specifically be: if the signal intensity is less than or equal to the first threshold value, setting the packet size to be a value greater than or equal to a first set value, and setting the data packet sending frequency to be a value greater than or equal to a second set value; if the signal intensity is larger than the first threshold and smaller than or equal to the second threshold, setting the packet size to be a value smaller than the first set value and larger than or equal to the third set value, and setting the data packet sending frequency to be a value smaller than the second set value and larger than or equal to the fourth set value; if the signal intensity is larger than the second threshold value, the packet size is set to be a value smaller than a third set value, and the data packet transmission frequency is set to be a value smaller than a fourth set value.

Preferably, the first threshold value ranges from 12 dBm to 21.5dBm (e.g., 15dBm, 19.5dBm, 21 dBm), the second threshold value ranges from 21.5dBm to 25dBm (e.g., 23.5 dBm), the first set value ranges from 5kB to 8kB (e.g., 5kB, 6kB, 7kB, 8 kB), the second set value ranges from 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100 Hz), the third set value ranges from 2kB to 5kB (e.g., 2kB, 3kB, 4kB, 5 kB), and the fourth set value ranges from 10Hz to 50Hz (e.g., 10Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, 50 Hz).

The map data of the edge server is generally acquired from a cloud end and stored locally, the map data distribution request sent by the vehicle-mounted equipment can carry identification information of the required map data, the roadside communication unit can send the identification information to the edge server after receiving the map data distribution request, and the edge server detects the map version according to the identification information and adapts to the map data of the latest version in the ODD range.

After the edge server sets the packet size and the data packet sending frequency, the map data can be divided into a plurality of data packets according to the packet size, specifically, the map data can be compressed, and then the compressed file is divided into a plurality of data packets with the same size according to the packet size, as described above, the size range of the data packets can be 2kB to 8 kB. Then, the edge server transmits each data packet to the vehicle-mounted equipment through the road side communication unit and the vehicle-mounted communication unit according to the set data packet transmission frequency.

After the vehicle-mounted equipment obtains complete map data, data verification and data updating can be carried out through a map data engine of the vehicle, the map data are output to modules of automatic driving path planning and decision, motion control, V2X early warning application, high-precision positioning, visualization and the like, and technical support is carried out on automatic driving.

In the current intelligent traffic management system, a roadside communication unit (RSU) and an on-board communication unit (OBU) communicate in a short-distance communication mode, and can realize functions of vehicle identification, electronic fee deduction, establishment of an unattended vehicle channel and the like. Based on this, in the embodiment of the application, short-distance communication between the vehicle-mounted communication unit and the roadside communication unit is utilized, and the map data is transmitted through a private transparent transmission mode between the vehicle-mounted communication unit and the roadside communication unit, so that the vehicle-mounted end can acquire the required map data from the roadside end without acquiring the map data from the cloud end through a 4G/5G network, and the influence of network signals and network speed on the data acquired from the cloud end is avoided.

The communication channel between the on-vehicle communication unit and the roadside communication unit may be generally established using a PC5 technology or a UWB (Ultra Wide Band) technology, wherein the PC5 technology is a terminal-to-terminal direct communication technology introduced in the D2D (Device-to-Device) Project of 3GPP (3 rd Generation Partnership Project, third Generation technical specification for wireless interface) Rel-12.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, there is a one-to-many correspondence between the edge server and the roadside communication unit. S102 may specifically be: and the roadside communication unit sends the signal strength to an edge server corresponding to the roadside communication unit.

The edge server is a local server at the roadside end, and there are generally a plurality of edge servers, each of which is configured to store map data (generally, slice data) of an ODD range managed by a plurality of roadside communication units, that is, there is a one-to-many correspondence relationship between the edge server and the roadside communication units.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, before S105, the method may further include: the road side communication unit sends the subpackage information to the vehicle-mounted communication unit, wherein the subpackage information comprises the total number of the divided data packets and the identification information of each data packet;

after S105, the method may further include: and the vehicle-mounted communication unit receives the subpackage information, and if the data packet loss is determined to occur in the process of receiving each data packet based on the subpackage information, the vehicle-mounted communication unit sends a data packet retransmission request to the roadside communication unit so as to request the roadside communication unit to retransmit the data packet with the data packet loss until all the data packets are successfully received.

Because the situation of packet loss of data packets inevitably occurs in the data packet transmission process, in order to ensure the integrity of map data, before transmitting each data packet to the vehicle-mounted communication unit, the roadside communication unit can firstly transmit the packet information comprising the total number of the divided data packets and the identification information of each data packet to the vehicle-mounted communication unit, so that before starting to receive each data packet, the vehicle-mounted communication unit can know how many data packets the roadside communication unit can transmit and know the identification information of each data packet, during the process of receiving each data packet, the vehicle-mounted communication unit can judge whether the situation of packet loss occurs or not based on the packet information, and if the situation of packet loss occurs, the vehicle-mounted communication unit can transmit a data packet retransmission request to the roadside communication unit to request the roadside communication unit to retransmit the data packet in which the packet loss occurs, until all packets are successfully received.

In one implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, after the step of receiving the packetization information by the vehicle-mounted communication unit, the method may further include: the vehicle-mounted communication unit establishes an empty data packet sequence according to the total number of the data packets; the vehicle-mounted communication unit records the identification information of each data packet into a data packet sequence in sequence;

after S105, the method may further include: the road side communication unit sends an end message to the vehicle-mounted communication unit;

the step of receiving, by the vehicle-mounted communication unit, the packetization information, and if it is determined that packet loss occurs during reception of each data packet based on the packetization information, transmitting a data packet retransmission request to the roadside communication unit may specifically be: after receiving the end message, the vehicle-mounted communication unit compares the identification information of the received data packet with the identification information recorded in the data packet sequence, and if the identification information of the data packet which is not received exists in the data packet sequence, the vehicle-mounted communication unit sends a data packet retransmission request to the road-side communication unit, wherein the data packet retransmission request carries the identification information of the data packet which is not received.

After receiving the packet information, the vehicle-mounted communication unit can establish an empty data packet sequence according to the total number of the data packets, the element number of the data packet sequence is equal to the total number of the data packets, and the vehicle-mounted communication unit sequentially records the identification information of each data packet into the data packet sequence. Correspondingly, after the road-side communication unit transmits each data packet to the vehicle-mounted communication unit, the road-side communication unit also sends an end message to the vehicle-mounted communication unit, so that after receiving the end message, the vehicle-mounted communication unit compares the identification information of the received data packet with the identification information recorded in the data packet sequence, and if the identification information of the data packet which is not received exists in the data packet sequence, the road-side communication unit sends a data packet retransmission request, wherein the data packet retransmission request carries the identification information of the data packet which is not received. And enabling the road side communication unit to retransmit the data packet which is not received by the vehicle-mounted communication unit.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle-mounted terminal may be composed of a driver's head (i.e., the vehicle-mounted device), a vehicle-mounted communication unit, and a vehicle machine. Specifically, the connection mode of each device at the vehicle-mounted end may be: the vehicle-mounted communication unit is connected with a driving brain and the driving brain is connected with a vehicle machine; or the driving brain is contained in the vehicle-mounted device, and the vehicle-mounted communication unit is connected with the vehicle-mounted device; alternatively, the driver's brain and the in-vehicle communication unit are included in the in-vehicle machine. The driving brain refers to a device with a driving control function on the vehicle, and the vehicle machine refers to a hardware device (e.g., a central control platform of the vehicle) with a human-computer interaction function on the vehicle.

Through the scheme that this application embodiment provided, based on the short distance communication between V2X way side end and the on-vehicle end, realized that the mobile unit obtains map data from the roadside end, need not obtain map data from the high in the clouds through 4G 5G network, avoided obtaining data from the high in the clouds and can receive the influence of network signal and network speed, can save a large amount of Uu mouth flow, realize that low-cost data are issued, promoted the economic benefits that data were issued greatly. And the edge server of the road side end sets the packet size and the data packet sending frequency according to the acquired signal strength, can timely identify the data packet with the packet loss and repeatedly send the data packet with the packet loss, so that the map distribution from the road side end to the vehicle-mounted end can achieve the purposes of rapidness, high efficiency, completeness and reliability, the problem of unstable communication between the road side end and the vehicle-mounted end is effectively solved, and the efficiency of map data distribution can be greatly improved. Experiments show that by using the scheme of the embodiment of the application, the ODD map data with the radius of about 300 meters can be transmitted from the road side end to the vehicle side end within 3 seconds.
