Description

Parallel automatic driving system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of automatic driving, in particular to a parallel automatic driving system.
Background
Currently, the automatic driving level is classified into 6 levels in total from L0 to L5, and the automatic driving skill level thereof is also increased from 0 level to 5 levels. Because different levels need different sensor schemes, domain controllers have different calculation forces and different function definitions, the automatic driving functions of different levels are developed, the system architecture designs of the automatic driving functions are generally independent of each other, and the automatic driving functions are not greatly related to each other.
The present invention focuses on the system architecture composition at the L3 level and the L4 level, and currently, there are two system architecture schemes for the two levels as follows:
the first scheme, the L3-grade automatic driving system and the L4-grade automatic driving system adopt the same sensor arrangement scheme, two sets of domain controllers are adopted to respectively receive sensor signals, respective systems are independently operated, and bottom layer actuators are respectively and independently controlled, and the functions of the two systems cannot be compatible with each other at the same time.
And the second scheme, the L3-level automatic driving system and the L4-level automatic driving system adopt the same sensor arrangement scheme, adopt the same domain controller, independently operate respective systems on different chips respectively, share a set of bottom layer communication logic and respectively and independently control a bottom layer actuator.
However, since the current L4-level autopilot technology is not yet mature, the L3 autopilot technology approaches mass production landing, which causes the following problems:
according to the scheme I and the mutually independent scheme, although the two sets of system synchronous researches are not interfered with each other, the perception algorithm is repeatedly developed and deployed, the calculation power of a domain controller is wasted, and meanwhile, the repeated development condition of signal transmission and matching of an actuator can also occur, so that personnel are wasted; in addition, how the L3 and the L4 interact, how the bottom-level executor executes the line-controlled commands of L3 and L4 all have problems to be solved.
According to the second scheme, although the same sensing result can be shared, the actuators can share one set of bottom layer handshake signals, and the waste of computing power is avoided, however, due to the fact that system development needs to be conducted synchronously in the same domain control, and due to the fact that the L4-level automatic driving technology cannot fall to the ground in a short period, the synchronous development difficulty is high, and if the domain control fails, the whole automatic driving system cannot be started.

The level-L3 autopilot system domain controller for the input of ambient perception information and the output of drive-by-wire commands is also the main operational vehicle of the level-L3 autopilot.
An L4 level automatic driving sensor used for carrying out target detection, vehicle positioning and vehicle road cloud interaction on an L4 level automatic driving automobile; preferred include, but are not limited to: blind area millimeter wave radar, vision camera, 360 degrees full coverage laser radar, high accuracy positioning device, V2X equipment and 5G communication equipment.
The level-L4 autopilot system domain controller for the input of ambient perception information and the output of drive-by-wire commands is also the main operational vehicle of the level-L4 autopilot.
It may be added here to the accompanying drawings that each of said level L3 autopilot system domain controller and said level L4 autopilot system domain controller may include at least the following illustrated software modules: the system comprises an environment perception module, a decision planning module and a motion control module.
And the system embodiment also comprises a bottom layer executor with a signal arbitration module, wherein the signal arbitration module is used for arbitrating the line control instructions of the L3 level and the L4 level and deciding the line control instructions to be executed finally according to a preset control mechanism.
As shown, the L3 level automatic driving sensor is respectively in signal connection with the L3 level automatic driving system domain controller and the L4 level automatic driving system domain controller; the level L4 autopilot sensor is in signal connection with the level L4 autopilot system domain controller; the bottom layer actuator is respectively in signal connection with the L3 level automatic driving system domain controller and the L4 level automatic driving system domain controller. Wherein, the line control instruction can include but is not limited to one or more of the following: a mode request command, a gear command, a throttle command, a brake command, and a steering command.
With reference to the above embodiments and the preferred embodiments thereof, the operation of the system architecture is as follows:
(1) the L3-grade automatic driving sensor can send perception information to the L3-grade and L4-grade domain controllers respectively, and the L4-grade domain controller can synchronously receive additional perception information in the system of the L4-grade automatic driving sensor (the L4-grade automatic driving sensor is expressed as an L4-grade automatic driving additional sensor in the figure);
(2) the domain controllers of the L3 level and the L4 level respectively and simultaneously process the input information and respectively calculate the line control commands of the L3 level and the L4 level;
(3) after receiving the wire control commands of L3 and L4, the signal arbitration module of the bottom-layer actuator determines that the wire control command of the system of that level should be executed finally according to a preset control mechanism, which may be based on an application scenario or manual command writing. For example, the driver inputs a system activation request through the human-computer interaction system controlled by the L4 domain, and the human-computer interaction system L3 does not have a request, so that the signal arbitration module can obtain the driver's desire to activate and start the L4 system through the mode request logic, that is, the signal arbitration module can finally execute the drive-by-wire command of the automatic driving system L4.
In summary, the idea of the present invention is to adopt a superimposed design concept for the sensing mechanism, and the higher level autopilot system multiplexes the sensing results of the lower level systems and autonomously calculates and processes the additional sensing data, and at the same time, an instruction arbitration mechanism is added to the bottom actuator, so that the execution instructions synchronously sent by the two levels of autopilot systems in parallel can be executed by arbitration decision. The parallel system architecture provided by the invention realizes the sharing of sensing results, avoids repeated development, solves the execution problem of control signals of two levels, can synchronously carry out automatic driving function development of different levels, can plan higher-level automatic driving function development in advance while not influencing the function development, and is favorable for improving the safety of the whole system by an independent domain controller.
