Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the pedestrian protection system includes a front millimeter wave radar module 2, a front view camera module 3, a vehicle speed sensing module 4, an AEB controller module 1, an airbag control unit module 6, a pedestrian protection execution module 9, an AEB alarm system module 7, a vehicle body stability control system module 5, and a brake execution mechanism module 51, where the airbag control unit module 6 is in communication connection with a collision pressure sensing module 8 and a collision acceleration sensing module 10.
The front millimeter wave radar module 2 and the front-view camera module 3 are responsible for sensing front road information and identifying conditions of front vehicles and pedestrians, including the traveling direction, speed and distance from the front pedestrians to the vehicle. The front millimeter wave radar module 2 and the front-view camera module 3 respectively transmit the recognized external environment information to the AEB controller module 1 through the private CAN.
The AEB controller module 1 receives the speed information of the vehicle transmitted by the vehicle speed sensing module 4, performs comprehensive judgment by combining external environment information, sends a corresponding pedestrian collision signal to the airbag control unit module 6 when recognizing that there is a collision risk, and gives a danger prompt to the AEB alarm system module 7, specifically, the AEB alarm system module 7 is generally an instrument or a central control screen, and the vehicle stability control system module 5 controls the brake actuating mechanism module 51 to decelerate the vehicle. After receiving the danger signal instruction, the airbag control unit module 6 rapidly lowers the threshold line of the pedestrian protection detonation algorithm, and then the airbag control unit module 6 simultaneously detects the collision pressure sensing module 8 and the collision acceleration sensing module 10, and sends a detonation instruction to the pedestrian protection execution module 9 when the threshold line is reached.
Specifically, the front millimeter wave radar module 2 and the front view camera module 3 are non-contact sensing systems, and the collision pressure sensing module 8 and the collision acceleration sensing module 10 are contact sensing systems. By means of the simultaneous cooperation of the non-contact sensing system and the contact sensing system, the condition that the danger signal is sensed by the non-contact sensing system independently and the condition that the danger signal is missed or misinformed is avoided.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the AEB controller module 1 includes an AEB controller module diagnosis unit, an AEB controller module parameter unit, an AEB controller module environment perception processing unit, an AEB controller module decision control unit, and an AEB controller module logic storage unit.
The environment perception processing unit is used for fusion judgment of front road condition information through comparison of information of the front millimeter wave radar module 2 and the front-view camera module 3, and redundancy check can be carried out to judge whether pedestrians are in front or not accurately. Specifically, three kinds of pedestrian perception logics are stored in the environment perception processing unit, the environment perception processing unit calls the combined codes in the parameter unit 12 in real time, the combined code information represents specific sensor configurations, and each configuration represents one perception logic. Here, a first type of pedestrian perception logic is invoked to determine whether there is a pedestrian in front.
When the environment perception processing unit judges that a pedestrian exists in front of the vehicle at present, the AEB controller module 1 performs braking behaviors and alarming behaviors of corresponding levels according to the real-time collision time TTC and sends danger signals for colliding with the pedestrian to the airbag control unit module 6; when the environmental perception processing unit determines that there is no pedestrian in front of the vehicle at present, the AEB controller module 1 does not send a danger signal to the airbag control unit module 6 to impact the pedestrian.
Specifically, the airbag control unit module 6 includes an airbag control unit module diagnosis unit, an airbag control unit module threshold parameter unit, an airbag control unit module data analysis unit, an airbag control unit module threshold parameter adjustment unit, an airbag control unit module ignition decision unit, and an airbag control unit module ignition current sending unit.
The safety air bag control unit module data analysis unit is used for analyzing currently received signals of the collision sensor, including collision data signals transmitted by the collision pressure sensing module 8 and the collision acceleration sensing module 10, and transmitting the signals to the safety air bag control unit module ignition decision unit after analysis.
The ignition decision unit of the safety airbag control unit module is used for calling an initiation threshold line in a threshold parameter unit of the safety airbag control unit module in real time, meanwhile, the initiation threshold line is compared with a received collision data signal, when the collision data signal reaches the initiation threshold line, the ignition decision unit of the safety airbag control unit module is used for sending an ignition instruction of an initiation pedestrian protection execution module 9 to an ignition current sending unit of the safety airbag control unit module, then an energy storage capacitor in the ignition current sending unit of the safety airbag control unit module is used for sending an ignition current pulse to the pedestrian protection execution module 9, the pedestrian protection execution module 9 pops up a cabin cover, and if a pedestrian protection airbag is configured on a vehicle, the pedestrian protection execution module 9 synchronously opens the pedestrian protection airbag.
The safety air bag control unit module threshold parameter unit monitors collision data signals transmitted by the non-contact sensing system in real time, when the collision data signals are received, the safety air bag control unit module threshold parameter unit rapidly pulls down a threshold line to Y-low, otherwise pulls up the threshold line to Y-high, when the non-contact sensing system fails, the threshold line is not pulled up or pulled down, and a default value Y-mo is kept.
Further, referring to fig. 3, an external change instruction is input through the external diagnostic apparatus 20 to make a configuration change to the pedestrian protection method. Specifically, various combination codes selected in advance are written in the AEB controller module diagnosis unit or the airbag control unit module diagnosis unit in advance.
Specifically, the external diagnostic device 20 is communicatively connected to the diagnostic unit 11 of the AEB controller module 1.
The external diagnostic device 20 sends an "enter extended mode command" to the diagnostic unit 11 according to an external operation, and if the diagnostic unit 11 does not successfully respond to the "enter extended mode command", the diagnostic unit sends an "unsuccessful reminder" to the external diagnostic device 20, and if the "enter extended mode command" is successfully responded, the diagnostic unit sends a "first successful reminder" to the external diagnostic device 20.
After receiving the "first success prompt", the external diagnostic device 20 sends a "security verification command" to the diagnostic unit 11, and if the diagnostic unit 11 determines that the security verification fails, the diagnostic unit sends a "failed verification prompt" to the external diagnostic device 20, and if the security verification passes, the diagnostic unit sends a "passed verification prompt" to the external diagnostic device 20.
After receiving the "pass check reminder", the external diagnostic device 20 sends a "command to enter the factory mode" to the diagnostic unit 11, and if the diagnostic unit 11 does not successfully enter the factory mode, the diagnostic unit sends an "unsuccessful reminder" to the external diagnostic device 20, and if the diagnostic unit successfully enters the factory mode, the diagnostic unit sends a "second success reminder" to the external diagnostic device 20.
After receiving the "second success prompt", the external diagnostic device 20 sends a "combined code flash command" to the diagnostic unit 11, the diagnostic unit 11 sends a new combined code in the "combined code flash command" to the parameter unit 12, if the parameter unit 12 identifies that the new combined code does not belong to the preselected combined code, it is determined that the operation is incorrect, and sends a "combined code flash unsuccessful command" to the diagnostic unit 11, and if the parameter unit 12 identifies that the new combined code belongs to the preselected combined code, it will successfully go to the next step.
The logic storage unit 13 calls the new combination code to form a new logic 14, and the pedestrian protection method is executed according to the new logic.
The new logic 14 is fed back to the external diagnostic device 20, and the external diagnostic device 20 sends a switch normal mode command to the diagnostic unit 11. If the diagnostic unit does not respond then an external fault may occur and the result is fed back to the external diagnostic device 20.
Further, when the driver wants to adjust the pedestrian perception logic, the diagnosis unit 11, the parameter unit 12, and the logic storage unit 13 are an AEB controller module diagnosis unit, an AEB controller module parameter unit, and an AEB controller module logic storage unit, respectively.
When the driver wants to adjust the impact sensing logic, the diagnosis unit 11, the parameter unit 12 and the logic storage unit 13 are respectively an airbag control unit module diagnosis unit, an airbag control unit module threshold parameter unit and an airbag control unit module threshold parameter adjustment unit.
Of course, the driver can make simultaneous adjustments to the pedestrian perception logic and the impact perception logic through the external diagnostic device 20.
The embodiment also provides a pedestrian protection system using the pedestrian protection method.
In the prior art, a pedestrian protection system cannot be closed, and inconvenience is brought to a driver when the false alarm rate of the pedestrian protection system is high.
To solve the above problem, in the present embodiment, the driver can also turn off the pedestrian protection system by operating the external diagnostic device 20.
