Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment consistent with the present invention, the networking module includes a request sending unit and a request receiving unit; the sending request unit sends networking requests to other automatic driving vehicles; the receiving request unit receives networking requests of other automatic driving vehicles; the other autonomous vehicles include autonomous vehicles not belonging to any of the vehicle networks or autonomous vehicles belonging to a certain one of the vehicle networks.

The types of other autonomous vehicles are not limited, and the autonomous vehicles may be autonomous vehicles not belonging to any vehicle network or autonomous vehicles belonging to a certain vehicle network, that is, requests may be sent to a single autonomous vehicle not belonging to any vehicle network, or requests may be sent to autonomous vehicles belonging to a certain vehicle network to join the vehicle network.
Based on the above embodiments, in a preferred embodiment consistent with the present invention, the networking request includes one or more of a destination, a current vehicle speed, a speed to be traveled, a time to arrive, and current location information. In order to judge whether to accept the networking request, the networking request not only contains the request, but also needs to contain relevant information for judging the automatic driving vehicle receiving the networking request, and the networking request can comprise one or more of destination, current vehicle speed, speed to be driven, time to be reached and current position information. The destination information can be used for planning a route and judging whether the route of the vehicle sending the request is matched with the route of the vehicle receiving the request or not, so that the situation that the vehicle just needs to leave the vehicle network in networking increases the calculation amount and the driving behavior in the process, and the driving load of the vehicle is increased. The current vehicle speed may be used to determine the speed difference between the requesting vehicle and the vehicle receiving the request, or may be used to calculate how the speed should be adjusted to match if the network is deployed. The intended travel speed can be used for judging whether the intended travel speed of the vehicle sending the request is matched with the vehicle speed of the vehicle receiving the request so as to avoid the condition that a proper driving strategy cannot be determined after the vehicle speed difference is overlarge networking. The combination of the time information to be reached and the destination information can be used for judging the driving speed range which can be accepted by the vehicle sending the request, and further judging whether the matching is carried out or not and whether networking is available or not. The current position information may be used to determine whether networking is facilitated and if how to perform driving behaviors such as lane change and the like in networking, taking the vehicle a and the vehicle B as an example, a plurality of lanes are arranged between the vehicle a and the vehicle B and a large number of vehicles are driven, so that networking is rejected under the condition that lane change networking is not facilitated, and networking may be performed again in subsequent networking facilitated. The networking request may include one or more of the above information, which is only distance, and any other information that is beneficial to determining whether the driving behavior is matched may also be included as the content included in the networking request.
Based on the above embodiments, in a preferred embodiment consistent with the present invention, the driving strategy includes one or more of a driving speed, a driving lane, a distance to a preceding vehicle, a distance to an obstacle, and a relative speed to the obstacle. A decision module of the autonomous driving system determines a driving strategy based on at least one of the raw data and the extrinsic data of the autonomous driving vehicle, preferably, the driving strategy is determined more accurately based on a combination of the raw data and the extrinsic data. Taking a vehicle A and a vehicle network 1 as an example, the vehicle A forms the vehicle network 1 with other vehicles after requesting networking, a decision module of an automatic driving system of the vehicle A determines a driving strategy according to original data of the vehicle A, such as driving speed, vehicle position, vehicle surrounding environment and the like, the vehicle surrounding environment comprises information such as obstacle conditions, distances and the like around the vehicle, and corresponding external data information shared by other automatic driving vehicles in the vehicle network 1, and the driving strategy comprises one or more of a plurality of strategies such as driving speed of the vehicle A joining the vehicle network, a lane on which the vehicle A should run, a distance between the vehicle A and a front vehicle, a distance between the vehicle A and a surrounding obstacle, a relative speed and the like.
Preferably, after the vehicle network is formed, in order to operate the vehicle network under an optimized condition, all vehicles in the vehicle network are preferably arranged in the same lane and run at the same speed, and the running speed of the vehicle a after joining the vehicle network should be consistent with that of other vehicles and run in the same lane with other vehicles, in addition to the above driving strategy, the position of the vehicle a after joining the vehicle network in the vehicle network is also included.
Based on the above embodiments, in a preferred embodiment consistent with the present invention, the driving behavior corresponds to the driving strategy, and includes one or more of acceleration, deceleration, current speed maintenance, lane change, and passing. After the driving strategy is determined, the vehicle sending the networking request needs to execute corresponding driving behaviors to complete the driving strategy, which is exemplified by combining with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 2, for a situation that a vehicle joins in a vehicle network, the vehicle network originally includes three ABD vehicles, the vehicle C joins the vehicle network after sending a networking request, the vehicle C is currently located on a right lane of a lane where the vehicle network is located, and is located at a position between a second vehicle and a third vehicle of the vehicle network on a horizontal position, the vehicle C determines that a driving strategy according to original data and external data information is that a vehicle speed is the same as the vehicle network, a driving lane is the lane where the vehicle network is located, the position where the vehicle C joins the vehicle network is between the second vehicle and the third vehicle, and a distance from a front vehicle is L, an execution module of the vehicle a executes a corresponding driving behavior according to the driving strategy, the vehicle ABD determines its own driving strategy after acquiring driving strategies of other vehicles except itself through data sharing, and executes the corresponding driving behavior, if the AB vehicle keeps the current speed and the current lane continues to run, the vehicle D decelerates under the condition of safety after detection, the distance between the vehicle D and the vehicle B is separated, and the vehicle C executes corresponding driving behaviors to enter the corresponding lane, such as acceleration and lane change. And after the vehicle C enters the lane where the vehicle network is located, the vehicle C and the vehicle D adjust the speed to reach the distance from the front vehicle and stably run at the corresponding speed to form a stable vehicle network, and the driving behavior corresponding to the driving strategy is the current speed.
Referring to fig. 3, in order to solve the problem that the vehicle network encounters an obstacle during normal driving, the vehicle network includes four ABCD vehicles, the vehicle a is located at the head of the vehicle, the vehicle a shares data with other vehicles after detecting that an obstacle exists in front of 100m, because the data is shared in real time, the other vehicles share all the detected data with each other, and according to the detected data, no vehicle or obstacle exists in the corresponding position of the right lane, the decision module determines that the driving lane is the right lane, and all the vehicles in the vehicle network perform right lane changing driving behavior. If the current lane is the leftmost lane, and other vehicles are detected in the right lane by the vehicles in the vehicle network, the vehicles in the vehicle network execute corresponding deceleration and lane change behaviors to avoid the obstacle, and the driving of the fleet is resumed according to the surrounding environment condition after the obstacle is avoided. If the vehicle network detects that the vehicle in front slowly runs, corresponding overtaking driving behaviors can be executed according to the decision. In any case, due to data sharing, the vehicles in the vehicle network can make timely and accurate decisions and execute corresponding driving behaviors.
Referring to fig. 4, in the case that a vehicle exits from the vehicle network, the vehicle network includes four ABCD vehicles, the vehicle D at the tail of the queue in the vehicle network needs to exit from the vehicle network, and all the vehicles in the vehicle network determine a corresponding driving strategy according to the shared data condition and perform a driving action, for example, the driving strategy of other vehicles in the vehicle network is to keep running at a current speed, and the vehicle D decelerates or changes lane to leave the vehicle network.
Referring to fig. 5, in a case that a vehicle exits from a vehicle network, the vehicle network includes four ABCD vehicles, a vehicle B in a fleet in the vehicle network needs to exit from the vehicle network, all vehicles in the vehicle network determine a corresponding driving strategy according to a shared data condition and execute a driving behavior, for example, a driving speed in the driving strategy of a vehicle a in the vehicle network is a current speed or a speed higher than the current speed, a corresponding driving behavior is to keep the original speed driving or accelerating, a driving speed in the driving strategies of a vehicle C and a vehicle D is a speed the same as or lower than the current speed, a corresponding driving behavior is to keep the original speed driving or decelerating, a driving lane in the driving strategy of the vehicle is a right lane, and a corresponding driving behavior is to change lane.
Referring to fig. 6, a schematic structural diagram of an auto-networking multi-vehicle cooperative automatic driving system according to another preferred embodiment further includes a driving model construction module that constructs a virtual network model including all the auto-driven vehicles in the vehicle network according to the original data of the auto-driven vehicles and the external data. In this embodiment, the driving model construction module constructs a virtual network model including all autonomous vehicles in the vehicle network according to the raw data thereof and the external data obtained by data sharing, thereby enabling more accurate and comprehensive driving control. In one embodiment, the vehicle network comprises a plurality of vehicles forming an autonomous vehicle fleet consisting of a head vehicle, a tail vehicle, an intermediate vehicle 1, an intermediate vehicle 2, and an intermediate vehicle n. After the networking of the fleet is successful, all vehicles share the data acquired respectively, a virtual network model based on the fleet is established through data fusion, the virtual network model is a driving model and comprises fleet speed, the front-back distance of each vehicle, the distance between a head vehicle and a front vehicle or an obstacle, relative speed, the distance between a tail vehicle and a rear vehicle, the relative speed, the distance between each vehicle and a side obstacle, the relative speed, a driving route and the like.
The virtual network model is not required to be established for each vehicle, the virtual network model of the whole vehicle network can be established by the driving model establishing module of any vehicle in the vehicle network and shared to other vehicles, and the decision modules of all vehicles determine the driving strategy according to the virtual network model and execute corresponding driving behaviors. Preferably, this virtual network model can be built by the head car, since the head car has more direct data information to the front vehicle and the obstacle, and reacts faster.
Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment consistent with the present invention, when the networking module receives the networking request of the other autonomous vehicles, it is determined whether the networking request conforms to the virtual network model of the vehicle network. In this embodiment, when any vehicle in the vehicle network receives a networking request of another autonomous vehicle, it is determined whether the networking request conforms to the virtual network model according to the content of the networking request, for example, whether the destination of the networking request matches the driving route of the virtual network model, whether the speeds match, and the like, and if so, the request is received, networking is performed, and how to adjust the driving strategy of each vehicle based on the virtual network model is calculated so that the vehicle enters the vehicle network.
Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment consistent with the present invention, the driving model building module executes vehicle join, exit, and lane change operations. After the driving model building module builds the virtual network model, all driving strategies of the vehicle can be calculated based on the virtual network model, such as vehicle joining operation, vehicle quitting operation, lane changing operation and the like. Specifically, when other vehicles wish to join, the optimal position is calculated according to the position and the distance based on the virtual network model, the vehicle positioned in front of the optimal position keeps constant speed, and the vehicle at the rear decelerates until the length is enough to enter the motorcade. When a vehicle sends a command of driving away from the fleet, the vehicle positioned in front of the vehicle accelerates until the vehicle and the vehicle in front have enough length to safely drive out of the fleet, and then the fleet restores the safe distance. When the front vehicle detects that an obstacle exists in front of the front vehicle or the front vehicle needs to change lanes, the driving model building module is used for calculating how each vehicle changes lanes and shares the lane with other vehicles, and all vehicles of the fleet execute driving behaviors according to the calculation result, such as unified deceleration lane change.
