The embodiment of the application can be applied to an automobile control system. Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an automobile control system provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the vehicle Control system may include a vehicle to outside information interaction Control Unit (V2X-OBU) 11 and a plurality of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) 12.
The V2X-OBU may include a Microprocessor Unit (MPU), a Microcontroller Unit (MCU), and a V2X communication module. The V2X-OBU communicates with the outside of the automobile through the V2X communication module, such as the satellite to acquire the satellite time service. The V2X-OBU carries out calculation processing on relevant data required by time synchronization through the MPU and is in communication interaction with other electronic control units through the MCU. The MCU and other electronic units CAN communicate in a CAN bus, an I/O port or a serial port and the like.
In some application scenarios, the MCU may transmit information to a Central Gateway (CGW) via a CAN bus, and then the CGW is transmitted from the central gateway to the electronic control unit via the CAN bus. In other application scenarios, the MCU may transmit information to the electronic control unit via the I/O port.
As shown in the automobile control system, in an application scene, the V2X-OBU is responsible for communicating with the outside of the automobile, and relevant early warning information is calculated according to outside information (such as traffic light time, distance between the front and the back of the automobile and the like) and state information (acquired from an ECU) of the automobile. An Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) of the automobile can control the state of the automobile according to the early warning information, avoid accidents, violations and even illegal Driving accidents, and improve road traffic safety and the like. In order to be able to calculate and warn accurately, it is necessary that the V2X-OBU be kept time-synchronized with the respective ECU.
In the prior art, a time standard source is usually set, the time standard source sends standard time to each control unit, and each control unit self-corrects the time according to the received standard time. The existing method cannot ensure the precision of the time synchronization result. In order to solve the problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a time synchronization method. The method is described below in various embodiments.
In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2, an interaction flow diagram of a time synchronization method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, and by way of example and not limitation, the method may include the following steps:
s201, the V2X-OBU sends the current standard time t1 to the ECU through the CAN bus, and records the sending time as F1.
S202, after receiving the standard time t1, the ECU returns a piece of feedback information K1 to the V2X-OBU through the CAN bus.
S203, after the V2X-OBU receives the feedback information K1, the delay time delta t1 between the V2X-OBU and the ECU is calculated according to the fact that the sending time is F1 and the receiving time J1 of receiving the feedback information K1, the delay time delta t1 and the current standard time t2 are sent to the ECU through the CAN bus, and the sending time F2 is recorded.
In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the standard time t1, the ECU may return the feedback information K1 after a certain waiting time, which will affect the calculation of the delay time. To solve this problem, the feedback information may optionally include the above-mentioned waiting time (i.e., the time when the ECU sends the feedback information K1 minus the time when the standard time t1 is received). Accordingly, S207 may include: the V2X-OBU calculates the delay time Δ t1 from the transmission time F1, the wait time, and the reception time J1.
Specifically, the waiting time is subtracted from the reception time J1, and the transmission time F1 is subtracted, so as to obtain a time difference, and the time difference is divided by 2, so as to obtain the delay time Δ t 1.
S204, after the ECU receives the delay time delta t1 and the standard time t2, the theoretical time L1 is calculated according to the delay time delta t1 and the current local time S1 of the ECU. If the time difference between the theoretical time L1 and the standard time t2 is within the preset range, the ECU corrects the local time of the ECU according to the delay time delta t1 and the standard time t2 to obtain corrected local time S2. The corrected time S2 is sent to the V2X-OBU via the CAN bus.
Specifically, the delay time Δ t1 is subtracted from the actual time S1 to obtain the theoretical time L1.
Alternatively, the theoretical local time may be obtained by adding the delay time Δ t1 to the standard time t2, and the time difference between the theoretical local time and the current actual time S1 may be calculated, so as to correct the local time according to the time difference.
Further, after the ECU calculates the theoretical local time, if the time difference between the theoretical local time and the current local time S1 is within the preset range and the time difference is smaller than the preset value (it indicates that the difference between the ECU local time and the standard time is small), the ECU may choose not to correct the local time, and send the current local time as the corrected time S2 to the V2X-OBU.
S205, after the V2X-OBU receives the correction time S2, the delay time delta t2 between the V2X-OBU and the ECU is updated according to the sending time F2 and the receiving time J2 of receiving the correction time S2, the current standard time t3 and the updated delay time delta t2 are sent to the ECU, and the sending time is recorded as F3.
S206, after the ECU receives the standard time t3 and the delay time delta t2, the theoretical time L2 is calculated according to the delay time delta t2 and the current local time S3 of the ECU. If the time difference between the theoretical time L2 and the standard time t3 is within the preset range, the ECU corrects the local time of the ECU according to the delay time delta t2 and the standard time t3 to obtain corrected time S4. The corrected time S4 is sent to the V2X-OBU via the CAN bus.
After V2X-OBU receives the corrected time S4, the delay time between V2X-OBU and the ECU continues to be updated according to the reception time J3 and the transmission time F3. And circulating to synchronize the holding time between the V2X-OBU and the ECU.
In the above embodiment, V2X-OBU may be regarded as a first control unit, ECU may be regarded as a second control unit, CAN bus may be regarded as a first communication method, standard time t1 may be regarded as a first standard time, standard time t2 may be regarded as a second standard time, standard time t3 may be regarded as a third standard time, transmission time F1 may be regarded as a first transmission time, feedback information K1 may be regarded as first feedback information, reception time J1 may be regarded as a first reception time, delay time Δ t1 may be regarded as a first delay time, local time S1 may be regarded as a first actual time, theoretical time L1 may be regarded as a first theoretical time, correction time S2 may be regarded as a first correction time, delay time Δ t2 may be regarded as a second delay time, and correction time S4 may be regarded as a second correction time.
In the embodiment of the application, the communication delay time between the first control unit and the second control unit is confirmed through the interaction of the time information between the first control unit and the second control unit, and the communication delay is considered in the time correction process, so that the corrected time is closer to the standard time, and the precision of time synchronization is further improved.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 3, an interaction flow diagram of a time synchronization method provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown, by way of example and not limitation, the method may include the following steps:
s301, the V2X-OBU sends the current standard time t1 to the ECU through the CAN bus, and records the sending time as F1.
And S302, after receiving t1, the ECU returns a piece of feedback information K1 to the V2X-OBU through the CAN bus.
And S303, after the V2X-OBU receives the feedback information K1, calculating the delay time delta t1 between the V2X-OBU and the ECU according to the fact that the sending time is F1 and the receiving time J1 of receiving the feedback information K1, sending the delay time delta t1 and the current standard time t2 to the ECU through the CAN bus, and recording the sending time F2.
S301 to S303 are the same as S201 to S203 described above, and reference may be specifically made to the description in S201 to S203, which is not described herein again. S304 is another case of S204.
S304, after the ECU receives the delay time delta t1 and the standard time t2, the theoretical time L1 is calculated according to the delay time delta t1 and the current local time S1 of the ECU. If the time difference between the theoretical time L1 and the standard time t2 is not within the preset range, the ECU sends an uncorrected flag to the V2X-OBU through the CAN bus.
The time difference between the theoretical time and the standard time is large, which indicates that the time received by the ECU is inaccurate, and the time synchronization cannot be realized. In this case, the failure of the first communication method may occur, or the communication congestion of the first communication method may occur. At this time, the ECU may return an uncorrected flag to the V2X-OBU without correcting the local time. If the first communication mode fails, the V2X-OBU cannot receive the uncorrected identification; if the first communication mode is congested, the V2X-OBU may receive the uncorrected flag, but the reception time may be delayed.
S305, if the V2X-OBU receives the uncorrected mark in the preset time or does not receive the information of the second control unit in the preset time, the current standard time t5 is sent to the ECU through the I/O port, and the sending time F4 is recorded.
And the V2X-OBU receives the uncorrected mark, and switches the communication mode if the first communication mode fails. If the CAN bus is switched to the I/O port, the time synchronization is carried out again after the communication mode is switched.
And S306, after receiving the standard time t5, the ECU returns feedback information K2 to the V2X-OBU through the I/O port.
S307, after the V2X-OBU receives the feedback information K2, the delay time delta t3 between the V2X-OBU and the ECU is calculated according to the sending time F4 and the receiving time J4 of the feedback information K2, the delay time delta t3 and the current standard time t6 are sent to the ECU through the I/O port, and the sending time F5 is recorded.
In the embodiment of the application, the V2X-OBU sends a pulse representing the standard time t5 to the ECU through the I/O port, and the ECU converts the pulse into time information after receiving the pulse. This conversion process requires a certain processing time which will affect the calculation of the delay time. To solve this problem, the feedback information may optionally include a first processing time at which the ECU processes a pulse indicating the standard time t 5. Accordingly, S307 may include: the V2X-OBU calculates a delay time Δ t3 from the transmission time F2, the first processing time, and the reception time J3.
Specifically, the first processing time is subtracted from the reception time J3, and the transmission time F2 is subtracted to obtain a time difference, and the time difference is divided by 2 to obtain the delay time Δ t 3.
S308, after the ECU receives the delay time delta t3 and the standard time t6, the theoretical time L4 is calculated according to the current local time S7 and the delay time delta t3 of the ECU; and if the time difference between the theoretical time L4 and the standard time t6 is within a preset range, the ECU corrects the current time of the ECU according to the delay time delta t3 and the standard time t6 to obtain corrected local time S8, and sends the corrected time S8 to the V2X-OBU.
After V2X-OBU receives the corrected time S8, the delay time between V2X-OBU and the ECU continues to be updated according to the reception time J5 and the transmission time F5. Cycling in turn to synchronize the hold times between the V2X-OBU and the ECU.
And if the time difference between the theoretical time L4 and the standard time t6 is not within the preset range, the ECU reports preset fault information. This case also indicates that the I/O port has failed. Because both the CAN bus and the I/O port have faults, the communication of the control system has faults and the time synchronization cannot be continued.
Of course, if the third communication mode exists, if the time difference between the theoretical time L4 and the standard time t6 is not within the preset range, the third communication mode may be switched to continue the time synchronization. The step of performing time synchronization in the third communication manner is substantially the same as the step described in the embodiment of fig. 2 and fig. 3, and reference may be specifically made to the embodiment of fig. 2 and fig. 3, which is not described herein again.
In one embodiment, the first communication mode may be kept monitored during time synchronization by the second communication mode. When the first communication mode returns to normal, the second communication mode can be switched back to the first communication mode.
The steps of S305 to S308 are substantially the same as those of S201 to S204, except that the communication method is different, and reference may be specifically made to the description of S201 to S204.
In the above embodiments, the I/O port may be recorded as the second communication method, the standard time t5 may be recorded as the fourth standard time, the transmission time F4 may be recorded as the second transmission time, the feedback information K2 may be recorded as the second feedback information, the reception time J4 may be recorded as the second reception time, the delay time Δ t3 may be recorded as the third delay time, the standard time t6 may be recorded as the fifth standard time, the local time S7 may be recorded as the second actual time, the theoretical time L4 may be recorded as the second theoretical time, and the corrected time S8 may be recorded as the third corrected time.
In one embodiment, during time synchronization, the method further comprises:
when the number of times that the first control unit calculates the delay time between the first control unit and the second control unit reaches N times, the first control unit calculates the average delay time according to the newly calculated N times of delay time, and sends the average delay time and the current sixth standard time to the second control unit through a first communication mode;
