In the design of a power supply system of an automatic driving hardware system, an external power supply (such as an on-board power supply) is generally adopted, and after the processes of voltage reduction, voltage boosting, decoupling, filtering and the like, power is directly supplied to each electronic component in the hardware system. When a hardware system fails, the instantaneous data of the electronic components are usually transmitted to a controller or a server through software detection or through a mechanical self-destruction device.

Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings. Throughout this specification, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar structures, elements or processes. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.
The terms "first" and "second" and the like used in the present application are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" and "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In addition, the term "include" and any derivatives thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.
When an element is referred to in the present disclosure as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
For purposes of brevity, unless otherwise defined, when an element is described as being "electrically connected" to another element in this disclosure means that the one element is in electrical communication with the other element.
As described in the background, in the design of power supply systems for automatic driving hardware systems, when the hardware system fails, the instantaneous data of the electronic components are usually transmitted to a controller or a server by software detection or by a mechanical self-destruction device.
However, in the case of software detection, if the software cannot work normally due to a failure of a hardware system storing or running the software, the software cannot acquire and process the data of the sensor normally, so that the controller or the server cannot acquire the data of the sensor.
In the case of a mechanical self-destruct device, the entire autopilot control system cannot continue to operate once the mechanical self-destruct device is activated, resulting in the controller not being able to acquire data from each sensor of the vehicle at the instant of failure, or the controller having acquired sensor data, but being powered down due to the intervention of the mechanical self-destruct device, resulting in loss of data from the sensors in the volatile storage medium. Furthermore, mechanical self-destruct devices are typically used only once, which also results in high maintenance costs for the vehicle.
Therefore, both of the above cases cause failure to acquire or store vehicle data at the moment of occurrence of an accident or for a period of time after occurrence of an accident, which is disadvantageous for post analysis of the cause of the accident or the failure of the vehicle, and hinders improvement of the design of the vehicle.
Exemplary embodiments of the present application provide a redundant power supply circuit.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a redundant power supply circuit for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the redundant power supply circuit includes an electronic device 10, a controller 20, a first power supply 30, and a second power supply 40.
The electronic device 10 is disposed on the vehicle and is configured to acquire driving data of the vehicle. The first power supply 30 is electrically connected to the electronic device 10 and the controller 20, respectively, and supplies power to the electronic device 10 and the controller 20, respectively. The controller 20 is in communication connection with the electronic device 10 and receives driving data of the vehicle acquired by the electronic device 10; the controller comprises a first volatile storage medium 220, the first volatile storage medium 220 being used for storing driving data of the vehicle acquired by the electronic device. The second power supply 40 is electrically connected to the first volatile storage medium 220.
When the electrical connection of the second power source 40 to the first volatile storage medium 220 is turned on, the second power source 40 supplies power to the first volatile storage medium 220. When the electrical connection of the second power source 40 to the first volatile storage medium 220 is broken, the second power source 40 stops supplying power to the first volatile storage medium 220. In the present embodiment, the second power source 40 is in an electrically connected state with the first volatile storage medium 220. Therefore, when the first power source 30 fails to the controller 20, that is, the first power source 30 fails, or the power supply circuit from the first power source 30 to the controller 20 fails (e.g., a short circuit) to cause the first power source 30 to fail to supply power to the controller 20, the first volatile storage medium 220 can still be continuously supplied with power by the second power source 40, so that even if the controller 20 fails to operate due to sudden loss of the first power source, it can be ensured that the driving data of the vehicle stored on the storage medium is not lost due to power failure of the storage medium.
It is to be appreciated that the types of first volatile storage medium 220 may include, but are not limited to, static random access memory (Static Random Access Memory, SRAM), dynamic random access memory (Dynamic Random Access Memory, DRAM), synchronous dynamic random access memory (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, SDRAM), double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, ddr SDRAM), enhanced synchronous dynamic random access memory (Enhanced Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, ESDRAM), synchronous link dynamic random access memory (SYNCHLINK DYNAMIC Random Access Memory, SLDRAM), memory bus direct random access memory (Rambus Direct Random Access Memory, RDRAM), and memory bus dynamic random access memory (Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory, RDRAM), among others.
In one embodiment, the controller 20 is an Automated DRIVING SYSTEM, ADS controller. An automatic driving program is installed in the ADS controller. In the present embodiment, although the controller 20 is an ADS controller, the present application is not limited thereto. The controller 20 may also be other types of controllers as long as the controller can receive and store driving data of the vehicle.
In one embodiment, the electronic device 10 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of an On-board diagnostic system (On-Board Diagnostics, OBD), a vehicle navigation system, a radar sensor, an environmental camera, an in-vehicle camera, an ultrasonic sensor, a software detection sensor, a rotational speed sensor, a temperature sensor, and the like. Accordingly, the electronic device 10 may obtain vehicle driving information such as power supply temperature, motor speed, vehicle speed, braking status, etc. The electronic device 10 is communicatively connected to the controller 20, and transmits these pieces of vehicle driving information as vehicle driving data to the controller 20 in the arrow direction as shown in fig. 1.
In one embodiment, the first power source 30 may be an on-board power source, and is configured to supply power to the controller 20 and the plurality of electronic devices 10 after boosting, reducing, decoupling, filtering, and the like. The second power source 40 may be an internal power source of the controller 20, but may also be an external power source. The voltage provided by the second power supply 40 is less than or equal to the voltage provided by the first power supply 30. For example, the first power source 30 may provide a voltage in the range of 6.5v to 16v, and the second power source 40 may provide a voltage in the range of 2v to 5v. In addition, the first power supply 30 and the second power supply 40 are independent power supplies, that is, whether the power supply circuit of the first power supply 30 is turned on or not does not affect the power supply of the second power supply 40 to the first volatile storage medium 220.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a redundant power supply circuit according to another embodiment of the application. In this embodiment, the controller 20 also includes a wireless communication module 240. The wireless communication module 240 may be electrically connected to the second power source 40, and the second power source 40 supplies power to both the first volatile storage medium 220 and the wireless communication module 240. The first volatile storage medium 220 is communicatively coupled to the wireless communication module 240. The wireless communication module 240 is provided with a wireless network interface. The wireless communication module 240 is communicatively connected to an external memory (e.g., a cloud server) of the vehicle via a wireless network interface, and when the first power supply 30 fails, the first volatile storage medium 220 is continuously supplied with power by the second power supply 40, and driving data of the vehicle stored on the first volatile storage medium 220 is relayed to the external memory of the heat and vehicle via the wireless network interface through the wireless communication module.
The wireless communication module 240 may relay driving data of the vehicle stored in the first volatile storage medium 220 to an external memory of the vehicle via a wireless network interface based on a wireless communication protocol. The wireless Network may be one of a wireless wide area Network (WIRELESS WIDE AREA Network, WWAN), a wireless local area Network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN), a wireless metropolitan area Network (Wireless Metropolitan Area Network, WMAN), or a wireless personal area Network (Wireless Personal Area Network, WPAN). The wireless communication protocol may be a 4G communication protocol or a 5G communication protocol.
In this embodiment, when the first volatile storage medium 220 and the wireless communication module 240 are powered by the first power source 30, the second power source 40, or both the first power source 30 and the second power source 40, the wireless communication module 240 may relay the driving data of the vehicle to the external memory of the vehicle via the wireless network interface. In other embodiments, however, the wireless communication module 240 may also be configured to relay the driving data of the vehicle to an external memory external to the vehicle via the wireless network interface when the first volatile storage medium 220 and the wireless communication module 240 are powered only by the second power source 40.
In this way, not only is it ensured that the driving data of the vehicles stored in the first volatile storage medium 220 are not lost due to failure of the first power supply 30, but also that the driving data of these vehicles are all uploaded to, for example, a cloud server, thereby further ensuring the safety of the driving data records of the vehicles.
In an embodiment, the redundant power supply circuit is further provided with a transient cut-off buffer circuit 660, and the transient cut-off buffer circuit 660 is connected in series between the first power supply 30 and the controller 20, for providing a buffer voltage for a preset time. The wireless communication module 240 relays driving data of the vehicle stored in the first volatile storage medium 220 through the wireless network interface for the predetermined time after the controller 20 loses the first power supply 30.
Specifically, when the controller 20 loses the first power source 30 at time t 1, the second power source 40 continues to supply power to the first volatile storage medium 220 and the wireless communication module 240. Since the first volatile storage medium 220 still has power, the driving data of the vehicle that has been stored in the first volatile storage medium 220 is not lost. The wireless communication module 240 relays the driving data of these vehicles to the cloud server. And within a predetermined period of time, for example, 30 seconds, after the time t 1, the wireless communication module 240 continues to relay the driving data of the vehicle received by the first volatile storage medium 220 to an external memory, such as a cloud server, outside the vehicle through the wireless communication interface during the period of time.
In this way, the redundant power supply circuit stores all the driving data of the vehicle in advance, in advance and after in the external memory outside the vehicle, thereby further guaranteeing the comprehensiveness and safety of the driving data record of the vehicle.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a redundant power supply circuit according to another embodiment of the application. In contrast to the embodiment shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, a first switch control circuit 60 is provided between the second power supply 40 and the first volatile storage medium 220. In this embodiment, a first end of the first switch control circuit 60 is electrically connected to the first volatile storage medium 220, a second end of the first switch control circuit 60 is electrically connected to the second power source 40, and a control end of the first switch control circuit 60 is electrically connected between the first power source 30 and the controller 20. When the first power supply 30 fails to supply power to the controller 20 due to its failure or short circuit, the first switch control circuit 60 enters a conductive state, electrically connecting the second power supply 40 and the first volatile storage medium 220, i.e. the second power supply 40 may continue to supply power to the first volatile storage medium 220, so as to ensure that the driving data of the vehicle on the first volatile storage medium 220 is not lost. In an embodiment, when the first power source 30 supplies power to the controller 20, the first switch control circuit 60 may also be set to an off state, i.e., the second power source 40 cannot supply power to the first volatile storage medium 220.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the first switch control circuit 60 includes a PMOS transistor (Positive CHANNEL METAL Oxide Semiconductor Transistor) T 1. A first current limiting resistor R 1 and a second current limiting resistor R 2. The first terminal of PMOS transistor T 1 is electrically connected to the first volatile storage medium 220, and the second terminal of PMOS transistor T 1 is electrically connected to the second power supply 40 through the second current limiting resistor R2. The control terminal of the PMOS transistor T 1 is electrically connected between the first power supply 30 and the controller 20 through a first current limiting resistor R1. the first current limiting resistor R 1 and the second current limiting resistor R 2 perform a current limiting protection function on the PMOS transistor T 1. When the first power supply 30 supplies a voltage to the controller 20, the control terminal of the PMOS transistor T 1 receives a high voltage, and thus the PMOS transistor T 1 is turned off. When the first power supply 30 fails or a short circuit occurs between the first power supply 30 and the controller 20, the control terminal of the PMOS transistor T 1 receives a low voltage, so that the PMOS transistor T 1 is in a conductive state, and the second power supply 40 supplies power to the first volatile storage medium 220. In this way, the first switch control circuit 60 is controlled to be turned on and off, thereby controlling whether the second power source 40 supplies power to the first volatile storage medium 220.
It should be noted that, although the PMOS transistor T 1 is used to implement the function of the first switch control circuit 60 in the present embodiment, those skilled in the art should appreciate that other electronic components and combinations thereof may be used to implement the same function, and the detailed description thereof is omitted herein.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a redundant power supply circuit according to another embodiment of the application. In contrast to the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the redundant power supply circuit of the embodiment shown in fig. 4 further comprises a transient cut-off buffer circuit 660, said transient cut-off buffer circuit 660 being connected in series between the first power supply 30 and said controller 20. The transient cut buffer circuit 660 is used to continue supplying power to the controller 20 for a preset period of time after a fault occurs between the first power supply 30 and the transient cut buffer circuit 660. The instant-off buffer circuit 660 is used to provide a buffer voltage so that the controller 20 is not immediately powered down when the first power supply 30 fails to provide power to the controller 20.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the redundant power supply circuit further includes a first switch control circuit 620 and a first current sensor 640. Unlike the above-described embodiment, in this embodiment, the control terminal of the first switch control circuit 620 is connected to the controller 20. As shown in fig. 4, the first current sensor 640 and the instantaneous interruption buffer circuit 660 are sequentially connected in series between the first power source 30 and the controller 20. The first current sensor 640 is also communicatively coupled to the controller 20 to send fault information to the controller 20.
The controller 20 also includes a non-volatile storage medium 260 and a processor 280.
The non-volatile storage medium 260 may include, but is not limited to, read-Only Memory (ROM), programmable Read-Only Memory (Programmable Read-Only Memory, PROM), erasable programmable Read-Only Memory (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, EPROM), electrically erasable programmable Read-Only Memory (ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ-Only Memory, EEPROM), or Flash Memory (Flash).
Processor 280 may include one or any combination of a single chip microcomputer (Microcontroller), an Application SPECIFIC INTEGRATED Circuit (ASIC), or a field programmable gate array (Field Programmable GATE ARRAY, FPGA).
The first current sensor 640 may be used to detect a current signal on a power supply circuit where the first power supply 30 supplies power to the controller 20 and send the current signal to the controller 20. The controller 20 compares the current signal to a preset threshold to determine if a fault has occurred on the power supply circuit. Specifically, the first current sensor 640 sends a detected current signal to the controller. If the current detected by the first current sensor 640 is greater than a preset threshold, the current is determined to be too high, i.e., the current is a short-circuit current. Therefore, the controller 20 determines that a short circuit has occurred in the power supply circuit of the first power supply 30 to the controller 20. Then, the controller 20 generates a corresponding control signal and sends the control signal to the control terminal of the first switch control circuit 60 to control the first switch control circuit 60 to be turned on. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first current sensor 640 may also be configured to detect whether the current on the power circuit of the controller 20 by the first power supply 30 is too low. When the current on the power supply circuit is too low, the controller 20 determines that the first power supply 30 fails. Then, the controller 20 generates a corresponding control signal and sends the control signal to the control terminal of the first switch control circuit 60 to control the first switch control circuit 60 to be turned on.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the transient break buffer circuit 660 includes a diode D and a capacitor C. The anode of the diode D is electrically connected to the first power source 30, and the cathode of the diode D is electrically connected to the controller 20. The first polar plate of the capacitor C is grounded, and the second polar plate of the capacitor C is connected between the cathode of the diode D and the controller. It will be appreciated that other circuit arrangements may be used by those skilled in the art to implement the functions of the transient break buffer circuit 660, and will not be described in detail herein.
Further, a failure diagnosis program is installed on the nonvolatile storage medium 260. The fault diagnosis program, when executed by the processor 280, performs the following steps.
Step S100, receiving a current signal sent by a first current sensor;
Step 200, determining whether a fault occurs between the first current sensor and the instantaneous interruption buffer circuit according to the current signal;
and step S300, when the first current sensor and the instantaneous interruption buffer circuit are determined to have faults, a control signal is sent to the first switch control circuit so as to control the first switch control circuit to enter a conducting state.
The working principle of the embodiment shown in fig. 4 will be further described.
With continued reference to fig. 4, when the first power supply 30 supplies power to the controller 20 normally, the first power supply 30 turns on the diode D and charges the capacitor C, so that the capacitor C has the same voltage as the first power supply 30 when it is full. Since the first current sensor 640 does not detect the abnormal current, the fault detection program on the first volatile storage medium 220 of the controller 20 determines that no fault has occurred, so that the controller 20 generates a high-level analog electric signal and transmits it to the control terminal of the PMOS transistor T 1, so that the PMOS transistor T 1 is turned off. Thus, the second power supply 40 cannot supply power to the first volatile storage medium 220.
When a short circuit occurs in the power supply circuit between the first power supply 30 and the instantaneous interruption buffer circuit 660, the negative voltage of the diode D is greater than the positive voltage, so that the diode D is turned off. At this time, the capacitor C starts to supply the controller 20 with the gradually decaying voltage for a preset period of time. The capacitance value of the capacitor C is set according to the magnitude of the preset time. The first current sensor 640 detects a short-circuit current signal and transmits the short-circuit current signal to the controller 20. Accordingly, the fault detection program on the first volatile storage medium 220 of the controller 20 determines that the power supply circuit between the first power supply 30 and the controller 20 is shorted according to the short-circuit current signal, so as to generate a low-level analog electrical signal, and the low-level analog electrical signal is transmitted to the control terminal of the PMOS transistor T 1, so that the PMOS transistor T 1 is turned on. In this manner, the second power source 40 may continue to supply power to the first volatile storage medium 220 when the first power source 30 fails to supply power to the controller 20.
In the present embodiment, by disposing the first current sensor 640 and the instantaneous interruption buffer circuit 660 between the first power source 30 and the controller 20, it is ensured that when the power supply of the first power source 30 fails, the controller 20 is prevented from being immediately powered off, and the safety of the driving data of the vehicle stored in the first volatile storage medium 220 of the controller 20 is further ensured. In addition, the instantaneous interruption buffer circuit 660 ensures that the controller 20 can still work after the power supply circuit between the first power supply 30 and the controller 20 is short-circuited, so that the controller 20 can continuously control the first switch control circuit 60, and the control accuracy of the redundant power supply circuit is further improved.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a redundant power supply circuit according to another embodiment of the application. In contrast to the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the redundant power supply circuit of the embodiment shown in fig. 5 also comprises an emergency power supply 50. The emergency power supply 50 may be provided to be electrically connectable with the controller 20. In other words, when the first power source 30 normally supplies power to the controller 20, the emergency power source 50 does not supply power to the controller 20, and when the first power source 30 fails to supply power to the controller 20, the emergency power source 50 starts supplying power to the controller 20. The method of determining whether the first power source 30 supplies power to the controller 20 has been described in the previous embodiment, and will not be described again.
In one embodiment, the voltage provided by the emergency power supply 50 may be provided directly to the controller 20 without passing through a decoupler, filter, isolator, or the like. This has the advantage that the controller 20 can be supplied with the emergency voltage faster, ensuring that the driving data of the vehicle on the first volatile storage medium 220 is not lost. It will be appreciated that decouplers, filters, isolators, etc. may be provided to decouple, filter, isolate, etc. the voltage provided by the emergency power source 50 to protect the controller 20.
In one embodiment, the emergency power supply 50 may also be configured to independently power the controller 20 such that the emergency power supply 50 powers the controller 20 whether or not the first power supply 30 is normally powering the controller 20.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a redundant power supply circuit according to another embodiment of the application. In contrast to the embodiment shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, the controller 20 includes a non-volatile storage medium 260 and a processor 280. The electronic device 10 includes a driving data sensor 70, the driving data sensor 70 being for acquiring driving data of the vehicle. For ease of understanding, other electronic devices 10 are removed in fig. 6, and only the driving data sensor 70 is shown. The driving data sensor 70 includes a second volatile storage medium 720.
In an embodiment, further, the redundant power supply circuit further includes a third power supply 80, a second switch control circuit 622, and a second current sensor 642. The second switch control circuit 622 is provided between the third power supply 80 and the driving data sensor 70. A first end of the second switch control circuit 622 is connected to the driving data sensor 70. A second terminal of the second switch control circuit 622 is connected to the third power supply 80. The control terminal of the second switch control circuit 622 is connected to the controller 20, and is used for controlling the on and off of the power supply circuit between the third power supply 80 and the driving data sensor 70 according to the control signal sent by the controller 20. The second current sensor 642 is connected in series between the first power supply 30 and the driving data sensor 70, is connected in communication with the controller 20, detects a current of a second power supply circuit, which is a power supply circuit between the driving data sensor 70 and the first power supply 30, and transmits a detected current signal to the controller 20. The third power supply 80 is not electrically connected to the driving data sensor 70 when the driving data sensor 70 is powered 30 by the first power supply. When the driving data sensor 70 loses the power of the first power source 30, the third power source 80 is electrically connected to the driving data sensor 70 to supply the power to the driving data sensor 70. Specifically, when the power supply circuit between the second current sensor 642 and the driving data sensor 70 fails, the controller controls the second switch control circuit 622 to enter a conductive state.
In one embodiment, further, the driving data sensor 70 further includes a wireless communication module 740. The wireless communication module 740 is communicatively coupled to the second volatile storage medium 720. The wireless communication module 740 is provided with a wireless network interface through which it is communicatively connected to an external memory outside the vehicle. When the second volatile storage medium 720 is powered only by the third power supply 80, the driving data of the vehicle stored on the second volatile storage medium 720 is relayed to an external memory outside the vehicle through the wireless network interface of the wireless communication module 740.
The second volatile storage medium 720, the second switch control circuit 622, and the second current sensor 642 have similar structures and characteristics to those of the wireless communication module 240, the first volatile storage medium 220, the first switch control circuit 620, and the first current sensor 640, respectively, and thus are not described herein.
As shown in fig. 6, the first power supply 30 supplies power to the controller 20 through a first power supply circuit, and supplies power to the driving data sensor 70 through a second power supply circuit. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the drive data sensor 70 and the controller 20 may be powered by different power sources.
Next, the operation principle of the embodiment shown in fig. 6 will be explained.
In the present embodiment, the second current sensor 642 transmits the detected current signal to the controller 20. The controller 20 may compare the detected current signal to a first preset threshold. When the controller 20 determines that the detected current signal is less than the first preset threshold, it determines that the first power supply 30 is disabled, and sends a control signal to the second switch control circuit 622 to turn on the second control circuit 622.
In another embodiment, the controller 20 may also compare the detected current signal to a second preset threshold. When the controller 20 determines that the detected current signal is greater than the second preset threshold, it determines that the second power supply circuit is shorted, and sends a control signal to the second switch control circuit 622 to turn on the second control circuit 622.
The fault diagnosis program stored on the nonvolatile storage medium 260 of the controller 20 determines whether the second power supply circuit is shorted or whether the first power supply 30 is failed according to the current signal detected by the second current sensor 642. The fault diagnosis program, when executed by the processor 280, performs:
step S400, receiving a current signal acquired by a second current sensor;
Step S500, determining whether a power supply circuit between the second volatile storage medium and the first power supply fails according to the received current signal;
and step S600, when the power supply circuit between the second volatile storage medium and the first power supply is determined to have faults, controlling the third power supply to supply power to the second volatile storage medium.
For example, when the controller 20 determines that the second power supply circuit is shorted, a high-level analog electric signal is generated and transmitted to the control terminal of the second switch control circuit 622, so that the second switch control circuit 622 is turned on, thereby causing the third power supply 80 to supply power to the driving data sensor 70. Therefore, when the first power supply 30 cannot supply power to the driving data sensor 70, the third power supply 80 can continuously supply power to the second volatile storage medium 720 of the driving data sensor 70, so that the sensor data stored on the second volatile storage medium 720 is prevented from being lost due to the failure of the second power supply circuit between the driving data sensor 70 and the first power supply 30, the safe storage of the driving data of the vehicle detected by the driving data sensor 70 is further ensured, the improvement of the vehicle design is facilitated, and the failure occurrence rate of the vehicle is reduced.
It should be noted that the first power source 30 and the second power source 40 may be used with one or both of the emergency power source 50 and the third power source 80. When a plurality of redundant power supplies are adopted simultaneously, the driving data storage, multi-level and comprehensive protection of the vehicle related to the faults can be realized, the post analysis of the vehicle faults is facilitated, and the efficiency of improving the vehicle design is improved.
In an embodiment, the second volatile storage medium is a static random access memory, and the driving data of the vehicle acquired by the driving data sensor is stored in the static random access memory. In one embodiment, the voltage of the second power source 40 ranges from 2v to 5v.
