Abstract

The automated guiding of vehicle is performed for different levels of automation. The complexity of an upcoming traffic situation on highway or road is judged based on the information from the global positioning system (GPS) map or radio-based information. The automation level for guiding the vehicle is determined in accordance with the judged complexity of upcoming traffic situation. An independent claim is included for a control unit for vehicle.

Description

Fahrerassistenzsysteme, die den Fahrer beim Führen eines Fahrzeugs unterstützen (z.B. ACC, LDW, Lichtsteuerung etc) werden seit einigen Jahren in Serienfahrzeugen umgesetzt. Die Verantwortung für die Fahrzeugführung liegt weiterhin beim Fahrer, er muss zu jeder Zeit aufmerksam sein, um ggf. die Führung des Fahrzeugs zu übernehmen. Driver assistance systems that assist the driver in driving a vehicle (for example, ACC, LDW, light control, etc.) have been implemented in production vehicles for several years. The responsibility for the vehicle management remains with the driver, he must be attentive at all times, if necessary, to take over the leadership of the vehicle.

Das automatisierte Führen eines Fahrzeugs, d.h. das Fahrzeug fährt autonom und der Fahrer darf seine Aufmerksamkeit auch anderen Tätigkeiten zuwenden, ist noch nicht verbreitet. Nach heutigem Stand der Technik wäre das automatisierte Führen eines Fahrzeugs vor allem auf Autobahnen und autobahnähnlichen Straßen gut umsetzbar, da es sich hier um eine weniger komplexe Fahrsituation handelt, die durch Umfeldsensoren gut erfasst werden kann. Automated driving of a vehicle, i. the vehicle drives autonomously and the driver may turn his attention to other activities is not yet widespread. According to the current state of the art, the automated driving of a vehicle, especially on motorways and motorway-like roads would be well implemented, since this is a less complex driving situation, which can be well detected by environmental sensors.

Es ist die Aufgabe der hier vorliegenden Erfindung ein verbessertes Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum automatisierten Führen eines Fahrzeugs anzugeben. It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for automatically guiding a vehicle.

Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Verfahren zum automatisierten Führen eines Fahrzeugs angegeben. Für das automatisierte Führen ist eine Mehrzahl von Automatisierungsgraden vorgesehen. Die Automatisierungsgrade geben an, wie weit der Fahrer seine Aufmerksamkeit anderen Tätigkeiten zuwenden darf. Anhand von Informationen von GPS und Karte oder funkbasierten Informationen, z.B. von Verkehrzeichen, -leitsystemen oder anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern, wird auf die Komplexität einer bevorstehenden Verkehrssituation geschlossen. Der Automatisierungsgrad der automatisierten Fahrzeugführung wird daran angepasst bzw. die automatisierte Fahrzeugführung wird in komplexen Verkehrsszenarien deaktiviert. According to the invention, a method for the automated guidance of a vehicle is specified. For automated guidance, a plurality of degrees of automation are provided. The degrees of automation indicate how far the driver may pay attention to other activities. Based on information from GPS and map or radio-based information, e.g. of traffic signs, traffic guidance systems or other road users, the complexity of an imminent traffic situation is The degree of automation of the automated vehicle guidance is adapted to it or the automated vehicle guidance is deactivated in complex traffic scenarios.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein erster Automatisierungsgrad ein automatisiertes Führens eines Fahrzeugs ohne oder mit geringen Anforderungen an die Aufmerksamkeit eines Fahrers und ein zweiter Automatisierungsgrad ein automatisiertes Führens eines Fahrzeugs mit relativ zum ersten Automatisierungsgrad erhöhten Anforderungen an die Aufmerksamkeit eines Fahrers. In a particular embodiment of the invention, a first degree of automation is an automated guidance of a vehicle without or with low demands on the attention of a driver and a second degree of automation of an automated guidance of a vehicle with relative to the first degree of automation increased demands on a driver's attention.

Ein erster Automatisierungsgrad ist z.B. ein automatisiertes Führens eines Fahrzeugs ohne Anforderungen an die Aufmerksamkeit eines Fahrers, ein zweiter Automatisierungsgrad ist z.B. ein automatisiertes Führen eines Fahrzeugs mit Anforderungen an die Aufmerksamkeit eines Fahrers. A first degree of automation is e.g. an automated guidance of a vehicle without demands on the attention of a driver, a second degree of automation is e.g. an automated driving of a vehicle with demands on the attention of a driver.

Ein Automatisierungsgrad kann einem Fahrer z.B. eine oder mehrere der folgenden Tätigkeiten während einer automatisierten Fahrt erlauben bzw. verbieten

  • – der Fahrer darf die Hände nur für eine vorgegebene Zeitdauer oder ganz vom Lenkrad entfernen
  • – der Fahrer darf ggf. eingeschränkt Kommunikationsmittel (Radio, Internet, Mobiltelefon ...) bedienen.
  • – der Fahrer darf bei Vorwärtsfahrt in eine andere Richtung als die Vorwärtsrichtung blicken.
An automation level may allow or prohibit a driver, for example, one or more of the following activities during an automated journey
  • - The driver may only remove his hands for a given period of time or completely from the steering wheel
  • - The driver may be allowed to operate limited means of communication (radio, Internet, mobile phone ...).
  • - The driver may look in a direction other than the forward direction when driving forward.

So kann das automatisierte Führen eines Fahrzeugs auch für eine Stauassistenz insbesondere in einem innerstädtischen Bereich angewendet werden. Dies ist bis heute nicht möglich, da die auftretenden komplexen Szenarien im Innerstädtischen Bereich von den heute verfügbaren Umfeldsensoren, wie z.B Lidar-, Radar- oder Kamerasensorsysteme, nicht sicher erfasst werden können. In diesen Situationen wird erfindungsgemäß der Automatisierungsgrad der Umgebung angepasst. Thus, the automated driving of a vehicle can also be used for congestion assistance, especially in an inner-city area. This is not possible today because the complex scenarios occurring in the urban area can not be detected reliably by the environment sensors available today, such as Lidar, radar or camera sensor systems. In these situations, the degree of automation of the environment is adjusted according to the invention.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein Loslassen des Lenkrads während dem automatisierten Führen eines Fahrzeugs durch den Fahrer nur in weniger komplexen Verkehrsszenarien, z.B. auf Autobahnen oder Straßenabschnitten ohne Kreuzungen, erlaubt. Sollte der Fahrer in einer komplexen Verkehrssituation, z.B. in einem Kreuzungsbereich insbesondere mit Ampelanlagen, das Lenkrad loslassen, wird das automatisierte Führen eines Fahrzeugs deaktiviert. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, letting go of the steering wheel during the automated driving of a vehicle by the driver is only possible in less complex traffic scenarios, e.g. on highways or on roads without intersections. Should the driver in a complex traffic situation, e.g. in an intersection area, especially with traffic lights, let go of the steering wheel, the automated driving a vehicle is disabled.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird ein Loslassen des Lenkrads durch den Fahrer innerorts nur dann zugelassen wird, wenn der Fahrer aufmerksam ist. Die Aufmerksamkeitsbestimmung eines Fahrers ist Stand der Technik und kann z.B. mit einer Innenraumkamera durchgeführt werden, die die Position oder Blickrichtung des Fahrers erfasst. Die Aufmerksamkeit kann zudem über Gas-, Brems- oder Kupplungspedal, Lenkbewegung, Blinkeraktivierung o.ä. bestimmt werden. Ein Indiz für einen unaufmerksamen Fahrer ist z.B. die Beschäftigung mit dem Mobiltelefon oder einem ähnlichen Gerät oder eine falsche Blickrichtung. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird bei einem aufmerksamen Fahrer das Loslassen des Lenkrads in einer komplexeren Verkehrsituation erlaubt als bei einem unaufmerksamen Fahrer ohne das sich das System zum automatisierten Führen eines Fahrzeugs deaktiviert oder einen niedrigeren Automatisierungsgrad zulässt. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a release of the steering wheel by the driver is only allowed in the city when the driver is attentive. The attentiveness of a driver is known in the art and may be e.g. be performed with an interior camera that detects the position or line of sight of the driver. The attention can also about gas, brake or clutch pedal, steering movement, turn signal activation or similar. be determined. An indication of an inattentive driver is e.g. employment with the mobile phone or a similar device or a wrong viewing direction. In a preferred embodiment, an attentive driver is allowed to release the steering wheel in a more complex traffic situation than an inattentive driver without the system being disabled for automated vehicle guidance or allowing for a lower level of automation.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird das automatisierte Führen eines Fahrzeugs innerorts deaktiviert, wenn eine bevorstehenden Verkehrssituation ein komplexes Szenario, insbesondere eine Kreuzung mit Ampelanlage, umfasst. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung unterbleibt die Deaktivierung des automatisierten Führens eines Fahrzeugs in dem zuvor beschriebenen komplexen Szenario, wenn ein Funk-Signal (c2x) Informationen über das komplexe Szenario, insbesondere über die Ampelschaltung, zur Verfügung stellt. Ein c2x Signal umfasst Signale z.B. von Verkehrzeichen, -leitsystemen oder anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the automated driving of a vehicle is deactivated in-town if an upcoming traffic situation comprises a complex scenario, in particular a traffic light intersection. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the deactivation of the automated guidance of a vehicle in the complex scenario described above is omitted if a radio signal (c2x) provides information about the complex scenario, in particular about the traffic light circuit. A c2x signal comprises signals e.g. of traffic signs, traffic guidance systems or other road users.
