Definitions
- a trajectory is learned in a learning process. This can then be intercepted by the vehicle.
- trajectories are introduced locally with the vehicle (“teaching”) and used for driving away again (“redrive”) with the same vehicle.
- the trajectory needs a reference point and a way of locating the vehicle with respect to the trajectory.
- a lane can be taught to a fixed end position during trained parking.
- the vehicle can later automatically drive along the taught route.
- the driver can be inside or outside the vehicle, or the vehicle can drive autonomously.
- Trajectories or portions of trajectories without a location reference cannot currently be used by other vehicles.
- vehicles that cannot record their absolute position using conventional methods cannot use trajectories with a fixed location reference and the functions associated with them. This can be the case, for example, when the vehicle is in a tunnel, a parking garage without special infrastructure, or an area with GPS shadowing.
- DE 102017 112 386 A1 discloses a method for providing stored data of a trained parking process for executing at least one subsequent parking process using the data, the data of the trained parking process being generated by performing the complete parking process or at least part of the parking process with a vehicle .
- DE 102016211 180 A1 discloses a method for carrying out an automated drive of a vehicle along a provided trajectory. At least one stored trajectory can be used for a current position of the vehicle.
- DE 102018 113 314 A1 discloses a method for operating a driver assistance system in which a motor vehicle is at least partially automated.
- a trajectory for automatically guiding the motor vehicle along the trajectory can be learned in a learning mode. After that, the motor vehicle can be guided automatically along the learned trajectory in an operating mode that follows the learning mode.
- DE 102019203 187 A1 discloses a parking assistance device for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle during a parking process.
- Case 1 Only data are available that do not have a fixed location reference. This means that different trajectories from different sources cannot be processed.
- Imprecise location reference means that, for example, localization within a parking deck is possible, but it is not possible to determine exactly which level of the parking garage is involved.
- Temporary location reference means that, for example, when driving onto a ferry, the stored trajectory is only valid if the ferry is in port.
- One aspect of the invention relates to a method for expanding an information cluster, which describes at least one trajectory class with at least one trajectory for driving a vehicle, comprising:
- Generating an information-enhanced actual trajectory by assigning the at least one location-specific characteristic of the vehicle and/or the at least one vehicle-specific characteristic of the vehicle to the trajectory traveled through; Comparing the information-enhanced actual trajectory with at least one comparison trajectory in an evaluation unit, the at least one comparison trajectory being provided by at least one fleet vehicle of a vehicle fleet that is different from the vehicle;
- the most varied and varied trajectories which were recorded by the most varied of vehicles in a vehicle fleet, in particular by the most varied of sensor systems, can be used more extensively by the vehicles in the vehicle fleet.
- the proposed method can prevent trajectories that have inaccurate or missing information from being ignored or discarded or even deleted. Consequently, all available trajectories, which are provided by the vehicles in the vehicle fleet, can be processed in such a way that they can be used by the vehicles in the vehicle fleet.
- trajectories previously classified as “bad” can still be used by the proposed method, so that it is prevented that such a “bad” trajectory is not thrown away or wasted.
- an extensive and detailed collection of data from a wide variety of trajectories can be created, so that individual trajectories can be made available more accurately and precisely for vehicles, since the information-enhanced trajectory classes can be used to assign individual trajectories more efficiently, thereby providing additional information.
- the proposed method can optionally be a computer-implemented method.
- the recorded trajectory can be characterized by the at least one location-specific characteristic and/or the at least one vehicle-specific Characteristic to be expanded in their information content.
- the generated actual trajectory thus contains more information and, in particular, more extensive information than the trajectory traveled through. Consequently, the quality of the actual trajectory can be increased, so that the actual trajectory can be referred to as an improved trajectory compared to the trajectory traveled through.
- comprehensive and more user-friendly information can be made available.
- This actual trajectory can also be used to provide the vehicle with additional information regarding the trajectory traveled through, so that the vehicle can expand its stored information internally. This actual trajectory can also be made available to other vehicles in the vehicle fleet.
- the trajectory traveled by the vehicle can be located clearly, in particular spatially, based on the associated information-enhanced actual trajectory, since, for example, additional data such as the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics are recorded in addition to location coordinates.
- additional data such as the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics are recorded in addition to location coordinates.
- a trajectory can therefore be created more extensively and, in particular, more intelligently. This can be understood as an information-enhanced actual trajectory.
- This additional information regarding the location-specific characteristic and/or the vehicle-specific characteristic can be added to the respective trajectory as additional data.
- This additional data can be used, for example, to locate the vehicle later, to verify or check a position of the vehicle, or to compare trajectories.
- the proposed method can be used to bring together and “match” a wide variety of trajectories using data recorded by the vehicle along the trajectory.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be detected or recorded synchronously with the trajectory traveled through.
- trajectories can be compared and corrected based on the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics in order to obtain a fixed location reference for the trajectory and/or the vehicle, for example.
- a separation sharpness of location-like trajectories with different location reference such as an unknown, an incorrect or an inaccurate trajectory, can be significantly improved.
- the location-based data regarding the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics refer to the trajectory, a coordinate system, such as a parking garage coordinate system, or a global coordinate system, such as "WGS84".
- the vehicle has traveled through or recorded the trajectory in an area in which no common or known vehicle localization is available. In this case, the trajectory would not be usable.
- the proposed method can advantageously be used here, so that trajectories are made available across vehicles without a location reference, for example, and can be made usable by referencing semantics with regard to the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics which can be used for localization along the trajectory, for example, can improve, support and/or verify an accuracy or quality of a classic or known localization method.
- information such as the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics, which are not suitable for conventional global localization systems, are used.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be information without a global location reference, but which relates relatively to trajectories and/or other features.
- the inclination angle and/or the acceleration of the vehicle can characteristically change in such a way that this information can be used for assigning features, ie as a location-specific or vehicle-specific characteristic.
- features ie as a location-specific or vehicle-specific characteristic.
- other characteristic features outside of the vehicle can also be used, which can be detected using environment sensors, such as cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors.
- the trajectory traveled through can be 1 kilometer, 500 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters or 50 kilometers.
- the trajectory can be an interval between 10 meters and 100 kilometers.
- any values within this interval can be considered for the trajectory.
- the trajectory traveled through can be short distances within a parking lot or parking area.
- the trajectory traveled through can be understood as a route to a destination parking lot.
- the trajectory has a starting point and an end point or target point.
- the vehicle runs the trajectory from a starting point to an end point.
- the trajectory traveled through by the vehicle can be referred to as a trajectory with possibly reduced suitability, which is less suitable based on cases 1 to 5 described above.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be recorded at least temporarily, in particular continuously, when or during driving or driving through the trajectory.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be recorded at any locations or positions between the starting point and the end point of the trajectory.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be detected at predetermined trajectory points that are located between the starting point and the end point of the trajectory.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be recorded at predetermined time intervals or time intervals. It is also conceivable that location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics are continuously recorded while driving along the trajectory. It can also be specified that a specified number of location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics are recorded as a function of a length and/or a type of trajectory.
- An information cluster can be understood, for example, as any information or any data that expands or enriches a trajectory in terms of its information content.
- an information cluster or cluster information can be understood to mean a location, a vehicle parameter such as a speed in a trajectory section, a steering angle, a pitch angle, a yaw angle, a roll angle or a lateral acceleration.
- a course of the trajectory, a length of the trajectory, a number of curves within the trajectory and/or curve radii with respect to the trajectory can also be understood as an information cluster.
- a variety of information can be understood under an information cluster, with which a Trajectory can be improved in terms of its information content and / or its information statement and thus expanded. The examples given are not to be understood as conclusive, but are only intended to provide an insight into the information cluster.
- the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics can be transmitted or made available to the evaluation unit via communications connections.
- the evaluation unit can, for example, be an evaluation system consisting of several units.
- the evaluation unit can act as part of a backend or an electronic vehicle trajectory generation system. It is also conceivable that the evaluation unit is at least partially integrated in the vehicle.
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory can be generated with the aid of the evaluation unit, which can be referred to as an electronic evaluation unit, for example. With the aid of the evaluation unit, the information-enhanced actual trajectory can be compared or evaluated or judged with at least one information-enhanced comparison trajectory.
- the comparison trajectory can be understood, for example, as a reference trajectory or as a collection of trajectories provided by the other vehicles in the vehicle fleet.
- all data provided by the vehicles in the vehicle fleet can be understood as a comparison trajectory, so that a comprehensive comparison trajectory can be made available.
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory can, for example, be assigned to one of the at least two, in particular several, different and, for example, predefined trajectory classes with the aid of the evaluation unit.
- the trajectory classes can be usage extension or suitability extension classes.
- the information content of the information-enhanced actual trajectory and thus also the traveled trajectory of the vehicle can thus be expanded or improved.
- the evaluation unit is used to classify or classify the actual trajectory.
- this trajectory class can be expanded or improved in terms of its information content or its information cluster.
- an improved, information-extended trajectory class can be generated by assigning the information-extended actual trajectory to an associated trajectory class. This can in turn be used for later trajectories by other vehicles. For example, driving dynamics information of the vehicle, such as braking, accelerating, lateral acceleration, ESP data, detection of ramps due to uphill and/or downhill gradients, vertical dynamics or an error path can be recorded as a location-specific characteristic.
- a driving maneuver such as a characteristic route segment or driving maneuver that can only occur at certain points in a parking level, can also be recorded as a vehicle-specific characteristic.
- a location-specific characteristic can be understood as information from an environment sensor system of a vehicle, such as a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, a radar sensor or a lidar sensor.
- an identified environmental feature such as a landmark, a sign, a marker, an infrastructure, a floor marking, a parking space numbering, a bumper, a barrier, a charging station, a payment terminal, a toll station, a control station, a shop or a structure in the ground or a marker in the non-visible light range, or a lane marking, or a gas station, or a special curve, a traffic light or the condition of a road.
- a recognized information infrastructure such as a WLAN network, a mobile radio network or RFID text can also be recorded as a location-specific characteristic.
- the at least two trajectory classes are differentiated with regard to a driving location and/or a driving topic and/or a vehicle speed when driving on the vehicle and/or a type of roadway.
- the differentiation or the categorization of the individual trajectory classes can be carried out by the evaluation unit or by an electronic processing unit or a control unit.
- the evaluation unit is used to classify the trajectory classes based on location-specific and/or vehicle-specific and/or trajectory-specific characteristics. It can thus be achieved that the actual trajectory, which is compared with the comparison trajectory on the basis of the location-specific and/or vehicle-specific characteristics, can also be allocated to a matching trajectory class. By distinguishing between the trajectory classes, the most varied of trajectories can be specified using the most varied of characteristics and thus categorized.
- the driving location means whether specific environmental features could be detected while driving through the trajectory.
- the driving location can be understood to mean an enclosed driving location, such as in a tunnel or a multi-storey car park.
- an unhoused driving such as driving on a country road or a motorway can be understood as a driving location.
- a parking process or a maneuvering process can be differentiated from “free” driving, such as driving along a freeway or country road, under the driving theme.
- the trajectory classes can be categorized according to whether a speed is greater than or equal to the speed threshold.
- trajectory classes can be specified in such a way that an accurate and efficient classification of the most diverse trajectories can be carried out.
- the driving location can be understood to mean a parking space at a service area or a parking space at a charging station or gas station.
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory is based on the type of at least one characteristic and/or on at least the number of characteristics and/or on the basis of the trajectory to that effect an assessment is made as to which of the trajectory classes it belongs to.
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory is evaluated using the evaluation unit, so that the evaluation unit can be used to carry out a differentiated assessment or evaluation of the actual trajectory.
- the actual trajectory can be assessed on the basis of a wide variety of information and/or features and/or characteristics, so that an exact and/or precise categorization or classification of the actual trajectory can be carried out and thus the actual trajectory can be related to the actual trajectory corresponding trajectory class can be assigned.
- the evaluation unit evaluates the actual trajectory to be evaluated using the type of location-specific characteristic and/or vehicle-specific characteristic and/or at least a number of location-specific characteristics and/or vehicle-specific characteristics.
- the trajectory traveled through can also be taken into account for the assessment. For example, a starting point and/or an end point and/or an intermediate stop along the trajectory can be taken into account. A shape and/or a length and/or a duration of the traveled trajectory can also be taken into account.
- the type and/or number of characteristics of the information-enhanced actual trajectory are compared with the type and/or number of characteristics of the at least one comparison trajectory of a trajectory, and then, if at least the type and/or the number are different, the information-enhanced actual trajectory is classified in at least this trajectory class.
- the trajectories it can be achieved that in particular only those trajectories are classified in a trajectory class that provide added value. This can prevent, for example, a trajectory that has already been clearly assigned in the trajectory class from being added again. As a result, computing capacities can be reduced.
- the actual trajectory can be compared with the comparison
- Trajectory are compared to what extent these two trajectories differ in their location-specific and / or vehicle-specific characteristics. For example, it may be that the two trajectories are identical in their location-specific characteristics, but have a difference in their vehicle-specific characteristics. A certain added value for the trajectory class would thus be achieved. It can also be the case that the two trajectories each have the same first location-specific characteristic, but differ in at least one second characteristic.
- the comparison trajectory has two location-specific and vehicle-specific characteristics, but the actual trajectory has five location-specific and vehicle-specific characteristics.
- the two trajectories thus differ in the additional characteristics and the actual trajectory can thus be assigned or classified as an information extension to the trajectory class.
- a predefined tolerance value or a predefined tolerance threshold can be taken into account for the differentiation between the actual trajectory and the comparison trajectory. It can thus be determined, for example, when the actual trajectory and the comparison trajectory are the same or essentially the same. This is the case, for example, when the two trajectories have a deviation that is less than a specified tolerance value. Thus, a more detailed and accurate distinction can be made regarding the characteristics of the two trajectories.
- At least one type of characteristic of the information-enhanced actual trajectory is compared with at least one of the same type of characteristic of the comparison trajectory, and at least when the compared types deviate by a tolerance value that is less than a threshold value, the information-enhanced one Actual trajectory is classified at least in the trajectory class in which the comparison trajectory is contained.
- the actual trajectory and the comparison trajectory are evaluated or assessed or compared with the aid of the evaluation unit by comparing a type of characteristic of the actual trajectory with a characteristic that contains the same type as the type of characteristic of the actual trajectory .
- At least one type of characteristic of the actual trajectory can be a steering angle or a driving dynamics parameter of the vehicle.
- a check is made as to whether the comparison trajectory has a characteristic which also contains a steering angle or a vehicle dynamics parameter as a type.
- These two Characteristics of the two trajectories are then evaluated using the evaluation unit to determine whether, as in this example, the steering angle or the driving dynamics parameters differ only slightly from one another. For example, it can be checked whether the respective steering angle of the two trajectories with respect to a predefined tolerance value does not exceed a predefined threshold value and is therefore smaller than the predefined threshold value. If this is the case, the actual trajectory can be assigned or added to the trajectory class that contains the comparison trajectory. Consequently, trajectories that have a certain degree of correspondence can advantageously be sorted or grouped together by the respective trajectory class.
- At least one comparison trajectory of a trajectory class and at least one information-enhanced actual trajectory, which is classified in this trajectory class are at least partially merged, so that a super-trajectory is generated, which in each case compared to the comparison Trajectory and compared to the information-enhanced actual trajectory has a greater information content.
- the merging can take place with the aid of the evaluation unit.
- the merging can involve joining or bringing together or combining trajectories using data technology.
- an improved and more extensive trajectory can be generated. This occurs, for example, when the at least one actual trajectory could be assigned to a specific trajectory class. If the actual trajectory is successfully assigned, this actual trajectory can be merged or combined with the comparison trajectory that was assigned to the actual trajectory.
- a new trajectory can thus be generated as a super trajectory which has a larger information content or a larger scope of information.
- a comprehensive and improved and in particular more efficient trajectory can be generated or produced by the generated super trajectory.
- the merging of the two trajectories takes place in particular proportionally.
- the two trajectories are completely or completely merged with one another.
- a trajectory part or trajectory section of the comparison trajectory and a Trajectory section or a trajectory part of the actual trajectory are merged.
- the super trajectory can thus be generated using individual trajectory sections of the respective trajectories.
- the two trajectories are merged in sections. For example, specific sections that lie within the trajectories can be merged.
- Each of the two trajectories can be subdivided into trajectory sections with regard to their respective start and end points. The respective trajectory sections can thus be merged with one another.
- a super trajectory can be created or generated, which is information-extended compared to the actual trajectory, the comparison trajectory and the trajectory traveled through and thus provides added value.
- This super trajectory can thus be used by the vehicle or by other vehicles in the vehicle fleet in order to be able to use this super trajectory in order to be able to carry out better driving processes.
- the trajectory depending on a vehicle-side detection system with which information for generating the trajectory and/or for recognizing the environment when driving on the trajectory is detected and provided, is a suitability value for use for a vehicle, in particular by an evaluation unit, and depending on this a need criterion for an information extension of the information-extended actual trajectory is determined.
- a suitability value for use for a vehicle in particular by an evaluation unit, and depending on this a need criterion for an information extension of the information-extended actual trajectory is determined.
- it can be decided or determined whether and to what extent the actual trajectory must be information-enhanced.
- the specific need criterion it can be decided by the system, for example, to what extent the information expansion of the information-extended actual trajectory should be carried out.
- a level and/or a grade and/or a type and/or a number of information extensions or information extension items can be determined with the need criterion.
- the need for additional information can be determined.
- the actual trajectory has a low need criterion, in particular the lowest need criterion.
- the actual trajectory can only be extended with little information or even with no information at all. This can be the case, for example, for safety reasons, in order to only check the trajectory for plausibility or to confirm it.
- the most varied information for information expansion can be assigned to the actual trajectory.
- the evaluation unit can be used to evaluate or assess the trajectory such that the suitability value and/or an accuracy value and/or a confidence value can be assigned to this trajectory.
- the trajectory can be classified as to whether it has sufficient accuracy and/or sufficient suitability and/or a sufficient degree of trust in order to be able to be used by vehicles without an information expansion.
- the accuracy value can be used to assess the trajectory as to whether geographic localization or geographic position determination of the trajectory is possible. If, for example, it is determined that the accuracy of the trajectory exceeds a tolerance value, then information on this trajectory must be expanded. For example, it can be determined by a vehicle system that the trajectory is not suitable for use by other vehicles according to the system's assessment. This can, for example, also be checked again by the evaluation unit, and if this is confirmed by the evaluation unit, information about the actual trajectory can be expanded.
- the vehicle-side detection system can be an environment sensor system or a sensor system or a front camera or another sensor system of the vehicle or other vehicles in the vehicle fleet.
- the surroundings can be detected, in particular continuously, when driving along the trajectory.
- the at least one location-specific characteristic and/or the at least one vehicle-specific characteristic can be detected at least temporarily with the aid of the vehicle-side detection system.
- the need criterion can be used to determine which information and/or data of the actual trajectory is missing.
- a corresponding comparison trajectory can thus be selected, with which precisely this missing information and/or data and/or characteristics can be provided. This is then taken into account when merging to form the super trajectory, so that the super trajectory has precisely these missing features of the actual trajectory.
- the super trajectory thus has a higher suitability value or a higher accuracy value or a higher confidence value than the comparison trajectory, the information-enhanced actual trajectory and the trajectory traveled through.
- a super trajectory can thus be generated which can be used by vehicles in the best possible and most efficient manner, since the super trajectory has a high suitability value for use by vehicles.
- the actual trajectory has information regarding a first detection system.
- information from a second detection system that is different from the first detection system can be made available.
- the super trajectory would have information from two different acquisition systems. It is particularly advantageous if the two different detection systems, which provide the information of the super trajectory, not only from two different detection systems, but also from different detection systems of two different vehicles. In this way, a wide range of diversity and different information can be combined.
- a further exemplary embodiment of the invention provides that if at least one location-specific characteristic of the vehicle is not or cannot be detected when driving through the trajectory, at least one comparison trajectory is merged with the information-enhanced actual trajectory when the super-trajectory is generated , which one Having position information.
- an information-extended, in particular improved, super-trajectory can be generated, particularly in the case in which no precise or only an imprecise localization with regard to a position of the vehicle could be determined. In particular, this is the case, for example, when there is a malfunction and/or failure of a global positioning system and/or a global navigation satellite system.
- the vehicle travels the trajectory in a multi-storey car park or in a tunnel or in a mountain region. In this case, it is therefore not possible to determine the exact position of the vehicle. If this is determined, for example, with the evaluation unit, at least one corresponding comparison trajectory or reference trajectory, which at least partially resembles the trajectory traveled through, can be used. In this case, such a comparison trajectory is used, which provides position information which can be assigned to the trajectory currently traveled with the aid of the evaluation unit using specific algorithms or software tools. In this case, this position information is made available on the basis of the vehicle of the vehicle fleet which has traveled through the comparison trajectory. This can also be done by several vehicles, so that an average value can be made available as a comparison trajectory. Thus, for example, the super trajectory can also contain the information that the actual trajectory was missing due to a lack of position determination. Thus, the super trajectory is an improved trajectory compared to the trajectory traveled through.
- the super trajectory is the best trajectory at a specific point in time when traveling the trajectory.
- the super trajectory can be made available to other units and/or vehicles.
- the super trajectory can be constantly enriched and updated in an ongoing process.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle fleet or a vehicle fleet system with at least two vehicles, in which an extended information cluster, which describes at least one trajectory class with at least one trajectory for traveling with a vehicle, using a method according to the previous aspect or a advantageous further development thereof is generated, and in which at least one vehicle of the vehicle fleet is provided with at least one item of information from a trajectory class, in particular an information-enhanced one, during a journey.
- a vehicle fleet consisting of at least two or more vehicles can be managed here.
- a vehicle fleet system, in particular an electronic vehicle fleet system can be used for this purpose.
- An expanded information cluster, with which a trajectory class can be expanded can be generated with the aid of a previously described method according to the previous aspect or an advantageous development thereof. In this case, the generation can take place with the aid of the electronic evaluation unit.
- the vehicles in the vehicle fleet can transmit the respective trajectories traveled through and/or the specific characteristics of the evaluation unit and/or the vehicle fleet system via technical communication connections such as a mobile network, Bluetooth or WLAN.
- corresponding information can also be provided when any vehicle of the vehicle fleet is driving, which, for example, wants to drive at least partially autonomously, in particular fully autonomously, on a given route section using a trajectory.
- a matching trajectory of a trajectory class that in turn corresponds to this trajectory can be transmitted, so that an upcoming autonomous trip can be carried out based on this trajectory, for example.
- a corresponding request is sent to the evaluation unit, so that at least one or more pieces of information from an information-enhanced trajectory class, which correlates with the current position of the vehicle, can be made available to the vehicle.
- each vehicle in the vehicle fleet can provide information relating to a trajectory to a higher-level system, so that other vehicles can then use this stored information to call up information.

- each vehicle can be improved in that a currently required trajectory can be replaced by the super trajectory, so that each vehicle can be operated more efficiently and, in particular, more safely, since further updated information is used for predictive ride exist.
- the vehicle of the vehicle fleet uses the super trajectory to localize itself.
- the super trajectory can help, because the super trajectory contains a wide variety of information regarding the trajectory, location information or vehicle information or position information or much more.

Furthermore, this is still advantageous since the current trajectory can be expanded to the effect that the information of the super trajectory is additionally available.
- the vehicle can carry out its own localization using the super trajectory, so that the vehicle can determine its current position, in particular despite the failure of a global navigation satellite system.
- the super trajectory can be used to check whether the self-localization performed by the vehicle itself is trustworthy or suitable.

- the characteristics 13, 14 and the trajectory 8 are combined or brought together in terms of data.
- the actual trajectory 18 contains not only the actual information of the trajectory 8 but also the additional information relating to the characteristics 13, 14.
- the data transmitted via the communication connection 17 can initially be stored in a data memory 32, in particular a digital memory unit (cf. Fig. 1) cached or collected.
- the data memory 32 can be part of the vehicle fleet system 3, for example.
- reference information or reference trajectory can be provided.
- the actual trajectory 18 can be assessed with this reference.
- a comparison trajectory 20 can be made available and thus made available by at least one vehicle 19 (compare FIG. 4) of the vehicle fleet 1 .
- This comparison trajectory 20 can have been traversed by the at least one vehicle 19 of the vehicle fleet 2 and/or by a plurality of vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 . This can either take place immediately before the trajectory 8 is traversed, or it can have already been carried out in the past.
- This comparison trajectory 20 can be understood as a trajectory data record or a trajectory set or a trajectory accumulation. These can, for example, be or have been temporarily stored in the data memory 19 .
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory 18 can be compared or assessed or evaluated with the at least one comparison trajectory 19 .
- comparison trajectories and / or other trajectories of the most diverse vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 for comparing the actual trajectory 18 are taken into account.
- the reference trajectory 20, like the trajectory 8, is traversed by the vehicle 19 and recorded.
- the vehicle 19 can also have a detection system 15 .
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory 18 can be assigned in particular to one of at least two different, in particular predetermined, trajectory classes 21 depending on the comparison carried out, so that the at least one trajectory class 22 in which the information-enhanced actual trajectory 18 could be classified, can be expanded with regard to their information cluster.
- the actual trajectory 18 can thus be analyzed in order to determine the type of class or category or pattern to which it belongs. In other words, a division or a grouping or a classification of the actual trajectory 18 and of course also all other trajectories to a respective associated trajectory class 22 takes place.
- the trajectory class 21 can be stored as a trajectory database in the vehicle fleet system 3 .
- the information-enhanced actual trajectory 18 is assigned to the use extension and/or the suitability extension of the trajectory 8.
- This assignment of the trajectory 8 allows a synchronization and/or a matching of this trajectory 8 to an associated trajectory class 22, so that for this trajectory 8 extended , more comprehensive and/or enriching information is available.
- trajectory class 22 a distinction can be made between an enclosed environment, such as a tunnel or a multi-storey car park, and an unenclosed environment, such as a freeway and/or country road.
- a driving issue such as parking or maneuvering can be distinguished from free driving.
- a trajectory relating to an enclosed driving and in a different trajectory class, an unhoused driving, and in another trajectory class only trajectories of parking or maneuvering and again in another trajectory class driving on a freeway or a country road can be classified. In particular, these are not to be understood as conclusive.
- Trajectory classes can be formed for a wide variety of driving situations and/or driving tasks and/or driving processes and/or driving locations.
- the most varied trajectories, in particular the trajectory 8 can thus be grouped or selected or divided into the most varied trajectory classes 21 .
- the actual trajectory 18 is assessed or analyzed with the aid of the evaluation unit 7 at least based on the respective type of characteristics 13, 14 and/or based on at least the number of characteristics 13, 14 and/or based on the trajectory 8 itself it is evaluated to which of the trajectory classes 21 an affiliation or match was established.
- the characteristics 13 , 14 added to the actual trajectory 18 can thus be regarded as specific features, on the basis of which the actual trajectories can be assigned to an associated trajectory class 21 . In other words, when classifying the trajectory classes 21, the characteristics 13, 14 can also be taken into account.
- comparison trajectory 20 can have two different site-specific characteristics 24 and two different vehicle-specific characteristics 25 .
- location-specific characteristics 24 can be a curve, a road condition or a road type.
- vehicle-specific characteristics 25 can be, for example, a steering angle, an acceleration process, a braking process or a vehicle state.
- the trajectory 8 differs from the comparison trajectory 20 in that the comparison trajectory 20 has an additional characteristic 24, 25 in each case.
- the comparison trajectory 20 provides more information and thus added value compared to the trajectory 8. If it is now determined with the evaluation unit 7 that the two trajectories 18, 20 differ in at least one type and/or number, the actual -Trajectory 18 are assigned or classified in the trajectory class 21, in which the comparison trajectory 20 was classified. This has the advantage that, on the one hand, the trajectories are combined in a trajectory class, which in principle match and the comparison trajectory 20 compared to the actual trajectory 18 provides added value.
- step S8 which can be carried out after step S7 alone or in addition to step S7, it can be provided that at least one type of characteristic 13, 14 of the information-enhanced actual trajectory 18 is associated with at least one of the same type of a Characteristic 24, 25 of the comparison trajectory 20 is compared, and at least when the compared types deviate by a tolerance value that is less than a threshold value, the actual trajectory 18 is classified at least in the trajectory class 21, in which the comparison trajectory 20 is contained .
- This is shown, for example, in FIG. 4 in the area 26 in which the characteristic 13 of the actual trajectory 18 and the characteristic 24 of the comparison trajectory 20 are essentially the same. This essentially means that the two characteristics 13, 14 only differ or deviate from one another by a tolerance value that is less than a threshold value.
- the trajectory 8 has a suitability value and/or accuracy value depending on the vehicle-side detection system 15, with which information for generating the trajectory 8 and/or for recognizing the environment when driving on the trajectory 8 was detected and/or trust value for use for a vehicle 2 of the vehicle fleet 1, in particular by the evaluation unit 7, is assigned.
- a suitability value and/or accuracy value depending on the vehicle-side detection system 15, with which information for generating the trajectory 8 and/or for recognizing the environment when driving on the trajectory 8 was detected and/or trust value for use for a vehicle 2 of the vehicle fleet 1, in particular by the evaluation unit 7, is assigned.
- the vehicle fleet system 3 or an electronic vehicle guidance system 5 of the vehicles 2 determined that the trajectory 8 could not be correct and/or imprecise.
- a requirement criterion for the actual trajectory 18 can be generated or determined by the evaluation unit 7 .
- the actual trajectory 18 can be assessed or evaluated with regard to its suitability and/or its trust value and/or its accuracy. This can, for example, at a low Needs criterion are defined that the actual trajectory 18 can already be classified as a "good” trajectory. If the need criterion is very high, it can be concluded that trajectory 8 is a “bad” trajectory. In this case, an information extension of the actual trajectory 18 is advantageous.
- the trajectory 8 and in particular the actual trajectory 18 can be improved or expanded by comparing the actual trajectory 18 with the comparison trajectory 20, which is in the same trajectory class 22 as the actual trajectory 18 , is at least partially merged or joined together.
- the information relating to the actual trajectory 18 and the comparison trajectory 20 is thus combined or fused in such a way that a super trajectory 27 that is improved compared to these two trajectories 18, 20 is generated. This is carried out by the evaluation unit 7 .
- This super trajectory 27 and/or improved trajectory 27 (compare FIG. 1) is improved with respect to the actual trajectory 18 and the comparison trajectory 20 in such a way that the latter has a greater information content.
- the super trajectory 27 thus provides added value in comparison to the trajectories 18, 20.
- the super trajectory 27 has a higher suitability value and/or accuracy value and/or trust value than the trajectories 18, 20. If it has been determined with the needs criterion that the actual trajectory 18 is very imprecise and, in particular, not usable for the vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1, this can be merged with such a comparison trajectory 20, which the actual trajectory 18 best, especially most, upgraded or improved. It can thereby be achieved that the super trajectory 27 has a considerable added value and in particular a significantly higher information content than the trajectories 18, 20. As a result, this super trajectory 27 can also be used in a variety of ways and extensively by the vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 .
- a type of detection system 15 can be taken into account during the merging.
- the actual trajectory 18 was recorded with a first recording system, such as a radar system.
- the comparison trajectory 20 can have been recorded with a lidar system.
- two different sensor systems would be included as information content in combination or in the merged super-trajectory 27, resulting in improved redundancy and more information can be made available.
- the super trajectory 27 thus contains more and more comprehensive information.
- At least one location-specific characteristic 13 of the vehicle 9 was not or could not be detected when driving through the trajectory 8
- at least one comparison trajectory 20 with the actual -Trajectory 18 is merged, which has position information of the vehicle 9 of the vehicle fleet 1, which has passed through the comparison trajectory 20. It is therefore possible that the vehicle 9 did not have a GPS position available as position information.
- a comparison trajectory 20 is used which has position information, ie a global navigation satellite system position.
- the trajectory 8 can be provided with an added value by the actual trajectory 18 being merged with such a comparison trajectory 20 .
- the vehicle fleet 1 can be operated intelligently with a method and in particular with the vehicle fleet system 3 by using the information and/or data and/or embodiments of steps S1 to S10 provided.
- all information relating to the trajectories can be made available to all vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 and all data from the vehicles 2 can in turn be made available for information expansion of trajectories.
- the previously generated super trajectory 27 can be made available to the actual vehicle 9 and likewise to all vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 and, in particular, transmitted.
- the other vehicles 2 can use the super trajectory 27 for a wide variety of driving tasks and/or vehicle systems and/or driving processes.
- the super trajectory 27, which has a location reference can be used to enable the at least one vehicle 9 or other vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 to localize itself.
- At least one item of class information relating to the trajectory class 21 in which the actual trajectory 18 was classified is transmitted to the vehicle 9 and/or to the vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 .
- the actual trajectory 18 assigned to a trajectory class 21 is merged or combined or combined with at least one trajectory that is filed or stored in the same, identical or the same trajectory class 21, resulting in an improved Overall trajectory can be produced or generated as a super trajectory 27, which compared to the actual trajectory 18 has at least one additional location-specific characteristic 13, 24 and/or one additional vehicle-specific characteristic 14, 25 and/or additional position information and/or an additional Contains trajectory information.
- the starting point 10 and/or the end point 11 of the trajectory 8 traversed and/or at least one intermediate point along the trajectory 8 traversed and/or at least one relocalization point of the trajectory 8 traversed is determined or ascertained and /or can be verified.
- the starting point 10 and/or the end point 11 of the traveled trajectory 8 and/or the at least one intermediate point along the traveled trajectory 8 and/or the at least one relocalization point of the traveled trajectory 8 can be assigned as additional information to the information-enhanced actual trajectory 18.
- a current location of vehicle 9 can be determined as a function of the position information, with evaluation unit 7 checking trajectory class 21 to determine whether a starting point of a potential trajectory of the trajectory class matches the current location of vehicle 9 or correlated, with this potential trajectory being provided at least to the electronic vehicle guidance system 5 if they match.
- a partially autonomous, in particular fully autonomous, in particular automatic, locomotion operation or parking operation of the vehicle can be performed by means of the electronic vehicle guidance system 5. This can be carried out by the vehicle 9 and by any vehicle 2 in the vehicle fleet 1 .
- the widest variety of information can also be used to identify the starting point or the relocation point.
- the starting and relocation points are mainly available in car parks. They can be existing landmarks as well as other localization points detectable by the vehicle 2, 9. For example, in a parking garage, the density or distribution of the relocation points may not be sufficient. If necessary, additional markings can be placed in the vicinity of the car park, for example using a pattern. If the vehicle 9 recognizes during an automatic parking process of a passage or the vehicle fleet system 3 as part of a post-processing that there are not enough landmarks in an area, this can be automatically transmitted to the evaluation unit 7, so that the trajectory classes 21 provide additional information can.
- the triggering for recognizing start and/or relocation points can take place using GPS information or navigation maps if, for example, it is recognized that a driver may soon be driving into an area with trajectory data and/or learned trajectories . This is advantageous in particular in the case of an automated maneuver into or out of a parking space.
- the trajectory 8 can include both a trajectory recorded by the vehicle 9 or a trajectory of other vehicles as well as trajectory segments.
- the information-enhanced trajectory class 21 can be used to be able to verify or check the trajectory 8 or a trajectory of a vehicle 2 . This can prevent, for example, that a vehicle 2 in a parking garage erroneously uses a trajectory for a third parking level, although the vehicle 2 is in a first parking level of the parking garage. A comparison of the forthcoming trajectory of the vehicle 2 can thus take place with the aid of the information from the trajectory class. For this purpose, using the characteristics 13, 14 of a trajectory, a sufficient amount of data can be added in order to be able to clearly assign this trajectory to a trajectory class 21. This can also be done continuously beforehand, for example take place while the current trajectory of the vehicle 2 is being used. Complex and/or imprecise or error-prone indoor localization and no infrastructure change or infrastructure preparation are therefore necessary.
- Position information from existing systems such as a rough localization via GPS and/or aggregation of movement information using steering angles and wheel pulses and/or vehicle speeds.
- Detect and count floor allocation in a parking garage for example, via barometer, rotation of the spindle counter, ramp travel.
- the location reference can relate both to absolute coordinates and to local preferences such as parking garages without GPS reception.
- the vehicle 9 locates itself on the basis of the data received from the backend at the starting point 10 of a generated redrive trajectory or relative thereto in a parking garage using the previously transmitted data.
- a trajectory training drive can be triggered by a driver of the vehicle 9 or by a vehicle system of the vehicle 9 .
- a comparison with the evaluation unit 7 then takes place.
- data can be uploaded via the communication connection 17 .
- the vehicle 9 itself can call up or query corresponding data or information from the vehicle fleet system 3 via a communication link 28 .
- synchronization and matching can be carried out using corresponding features as characteristics 13, 14.
- the merging of the data, in particular of the actual trajectory 18 with the comparison trajectory 20, can then in turn be carried out.
- This super trajectory 27, which is provided as a fusion result can in turn be used for trained parking, for example, or another trained driving process.
- a vehicle 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 can determine internally whether the last trip of the vehicle 2 up to a parking process is suitable as a training trip for trained parking. If this is not the case, the vehicle 2 can send a corresponding request to the vehicle fleet system 3 .
- Corresponding usable data, which are made available by the information-enhanced trajectory class 21, can in turn be transmitted to the vehicle 2 via a communication connection 29, so that, for example, trained parking can be carried out without the vehicle 2 itself having carried out a training process, since the data in the trajectory classes 21 are already processed.
- the super trajectory 27 is to be used for this.
- the vehicle 9 is located in a parking garage and attempts to call up a trajectory 8 for an automated parking process.
- the GNSS global navigation satellite system
- the evaluation unit 7 combines the transmitted data and finds suitable trajectories based on the trajectory classes 21 and synchronizes the trajectory 8 covered by the vehicle 9 with the data of the trajectory class 21 and can thus calculate the ego position, i.e. the current position, of the vehicle.
- the exact position can be used to implement other functions related to assisted driving functions, such as trajectories for parking.
- the vehicle 9 is located in a tunnel and would therefore like to drive autonomously without an exact GNSS position.
- the trajectories covered since entering the tunnel plus the characteristics 13, 14 can be sent to the evaluation unit 7 in order to obtain an exact position based on the trajectory class 21.
- the evaluation unit 7 matches the transmitted data and finds a suitable trajectory using the trajectory classes 21 and synchronizes the trajectory covered by the vehicle with the data and can thus calculate the vehicle's ego position, ie the current position of the vehicle 9 .
- the exact position can in turn be used for trajectories for autonomous driving in a tunnel.
- the trajectory 8 can be a trajectory driven manually, automatically or in a trained manner.
- the information-enhanced trajectory class 21 can also bring added value for vehicles that are “very well” equipped in cases of high GNSS systems in the vehicle 9 or high GNSS shadowing. Otherwise, these equipped vehicles 2 serve as data suppliers by supplying location-based, secured trajectories and data for the vehicle fleet system 3 .
- the vehicle 9 can have a GNSS system that has a confidence range that can be many 100 meters, depending on the satellite shadowing situation. Furthermore, these systems must have a minimum number of satellites in order to be able to determine a respective position. If this GNSS system in the vehicle 9 determines that the accuracy for a use case is imprecise, the information-enhanced trajectory class 21 can be used to remedy the situation.
- the respective information relating to the trajectory 8 can be transmitted continuously to the evaluation unit 7 .
- the vehicle 9 itself decides when the corresponding trajectory 8 and the associated data are transmitted to the evaluation unit 7 . This is particularly advantageous in order to reduce a data load. For example, there can be a trigger for this if the vehicle 9 is not certain whether the current localization still has a sufficiently high quality.
- the generated information-enhanced trajectory classes and the merging are carried out using known methods from big data processing. Similarities or similarities of objects or images of the trajectories can be taken into account. In particular, for the detection of the characteristics 13, 14 data recordings of a data channel can be compared using 1-D images.
- the trajectory 8 can be a trajectory that has no or only an imprecise location reference.
- the trajectory 8 can thus be checked for plausibility and/or reconstructed with the aid of the information-extended trajectory class 21 .
- the actual trajectory 18 and the comparison trajectory 20 are superimposed.
- the trajectories of the vehicle fleet 1 can be made available to the fleet vehicle system 3 as swarm trajectories.
- the evaluation unit 7 can, for example, carry out a respective mean value with regard to the same trajectories in the respective trajectory classes 21, so that improved information on a trajectory can already be made available here.
- data can be correlated in the respective trajectory classes.
- the vehicles 2 of the vehicle fleet 1 can have a respective ring memory so that, for example, the last 50 or 100 or 1000 meters of the route traveled can be stored backwards as a trajectory and called up again.
- the vehicle fleet system 3 can have an electronically readable data carrier 30 .
- the electronically readable data carrier 30 can have stored electronically readable situations, which include at least one computer program product and are designed such that when the data carrier 30 is used in the vehicle fleet system 3, a method according to the invention can be carried out.
- T rajectory classes 23 trajectory class location-specific characteristic of the comparison trajectory vehicle-specific characteristic of the comparison trajectory
