이하 본 발명의 구성요소 및 그 작동상태를 도면을 참조하여 설명하도록 한다.Hereinafter, the components of the present invention and their operating states will be described with reference to the drawings.

제1도는 본 발명에 따른 집단무인차량의 주행상태를 보여주는 도면이다.선두 차량은 화상입력수단으로 CCD 카메라가 설치되어 화상정보를 입력하여 이를 기초로 기준조향각을 산출하고 이를 기초로 현재의 조향각과 비교하여 조향휠을 제어한다. 또한 구해진 현재상태의 조향각은 데이터 변환되어 후미의 차량으로 전송된다.1 is a view showing a driving state of a group unmanned vehicle according to the present invention. A leading vehicle is provided with a CCD camera as an image input means and inputs image information to calculate a reference steering angle based on the current steering angle. Control steering wheel in comparison. Also, the steering angle of the current state obtained is converted into data and transmitted to the rear vehicle.

후미 차량은 선두차량으로부터 송신된 신호를 이용 현재의 기준각을 설정하고 현재의 조향각과 비교하여 조향휠을 제어한다.The rear vehicle sets the current reference angle using the signal transmitted from the head vehicle and compares the steering wheel with the current steering angle.

일반적으로는 선두차량하나와 하나이상의 후미차량을 구성으로하여 일렬 주행한다.In general, the first vehicle and one or more tail vehicles are configured to travel in a row.

또 다른 주행방법으로는 중간에 중간차량을 사용하는 방식이다. 이경우 중간차량은 선두차량으로부터 정보를 수신하는 수신수단과 후미차량으로 정보를 송신하는 송신수단을 모두 구비하여야 한다.Another driving method is to use an intermediate vehicle in the middle. In this case, the intermediate vehicle should have both a receiving means for receiving information from the head vehicle and a transmitting means for transmitting information to the rear vehicle.

선두차량의 구체적인 기준조향각 산출방식 및 조향휠 구동방식을 설명하고자 한다.The detailed reference steering angle calculation method and steering wheel driving method of the lead vehicle will be described.

선두차량(1)의 제어시스템에서 입력부는 화상입력수단(4)와 조향휠 위치검출수단(6)이며, 구동부는 모터회전제어수단(20)과 제어신호 송신수단(10)이며제어부는 마이크로 컴퓨터 또는 논리연산회로인 전자제어장치이다.In the control system of the head vehicle 1, the input unit is an image input unit 4 and a steering wheel position detecting unit 6, the driving unit is a motor rotation control unit 20 and a control signal transmitting unit 10, and the control unit is a microcomputer. Or an electronic control device which is a logic operation circuit.

화상입력수단은 카메라 구조체이며, CCD카메라가 사용된다. 기준조향각 검출수단(5)은 입력된 화상정보를 기초로 기준조향각을 산출한다. 이 때 이를 연산하는 방법은 공지된 방법에 따른다. 공지된 방법에 따르면, 차선이 그려진 도로에서 차선 사이에 중심선의 위치를 연산하고 화상의 화면중심이 중심선에 놓이도록 하기위한 조향각을 결정하는 방법으로 기준조향각을 연산해 낸다.The image input means is a camera structure, and a CCD camera is used. The reference steering angle detection unit 5 calculates the reference steering angle based on the input image information. At this time, the method of calculating this follows a known method. According to the known method, the reference steering angle is calculated by calculating the position of the center line between the lanes on the road where the lane is drawn and determining the steering angle so that the screen center of the image lies on the center line.

조향휠 위치검출수단(6)은 현재의 조향각을 검출하여 전자제어장치(8)로 보낸다.The steering wheel position detecting means 6 detects the current steering angle and sends it to the electronic controller 8.

전자제어장치(8)는 현재의 조향각과 기준조향각을 비교하여 그 오차 만큼의 조향각 보정을 행하도록 모터회전제어수단(20)으로 제어신호와 함께 오차정보를 발산한다.The electronic controller 8 emits the error information together with the control signal to the motor rotation control means 20 to compare the current steering angle with the reference steering angle and correct the steering angle by the error.

모터회전제어수단(20)은 조향휠을 회전시키는 조향휠회전수단(9)를 제어하며 모터를 얼마만큼 회전시켜야 조향각을 보정할 수 있는가에 대한 정보를 기억하는수단 및 그 값을 연산할 수 있는 수단을 구비하고 있다.The motor rotation control means 20 controls the steering wheel rotation means 9 for rotating the steering wheel, and means for storing information about how much the motor should be rotated to correct the steering angle, and the value can be calculated. Means are provided.

무인자동차의 스티어링 제어장치에 대해서는 이미 공지된 방법을 사용하며, 본 출원인에 의해 기출원 된 특허출원번호 95-41270에 따른다.The steering control device of the driverless vehicle uses a known method and is in accordance with patent application No. 95-41270 filed by the present applicant.

한편, 무인집단차량의 집단주행을 위해서는 각 차량간의 정보의 송수신이 필수적이며, 이를 위해 송수신장비를 구비하고 있는 바, 선두차량의 경우는 송신수단만을 가지고 있으면 족하다.Meanwhile, for group driving of an unmanned group vehicle, transmission and reception of information between each vehicle is essential. For this purpose, a transmission / reception device is provided. Therefore, the head vehicle needs only a transmission means.

송신의 자료는 현재의 위치 및 차속등의 기초정보와 함께 현재의 기준 조향각이 반드시 포함되어야 한다. 이러한 정보는 전자제어장치에의해 암호화되어 제어신호 송신수단(10)으로 발신되며, 제어신호 송신수단(10)은 이를 송신에 적합한 형식으로 변환하여 안테나를 통해 송신한다.The transmission data must include the current reference steering angle with basic information such as the current position and vehicle speed. This information is encrypted by the electronic control apparatus and transmitted to the control signal transmitting means 10, and the control signal transmitting means 10 converts it into a format suitable for transmission and transmits it through the antenna.

후미차량(3)은 입력부로 조향휠 위치검출수단(11)이 외에 안테나로부터의 입력을 받는 제어신호 수신수단(13)을 추가로구비하고 있다.The rear vehicle 3 further comprises a control signal receiving means 13 which receives an input from an antenna in addition to the steering wheel position detecting means 11 as an input portion.

제어신호 수신수단(13)은 상기의 선두차량의 제어신호 송신수단(10)고 반대로 동작된다. 즉, 수신된 정보는 전자제어장치(14)에서 처리가능한 형식으로 변환되며, 이 정보를 전자제어장치로 송신하면, 전자제어장치는 이 정보를 기초로 기준조향각에 대한 연산을 행한다.The control signal receiving means 13 is operated in the opposite manner to the control signal transmitting means 10 of the head vehicle. That is, the received information is converted into a format that can be processed by the electronic control apparatus 14, and when this information is transmitted to the electronic control apparatus, the electronic control apparatus calculates a reference steering angle based on this information.

또한 후미차량에는 기억수단(22)을 구비하고 있어 선두차량에서의 기준조향각 정보를 기억시켜 두었다가 제어가 요구되는 시간이 되면 이를 꺼내서 현재의 조향각과 비교하고 조향휠을 제어하도록 한다. 이 경우는 선두차량이 두 대이상의 후미차량으로 동시에 송신을 하는 경우라면 필수적일 것이다.In addition, the rear vehicle is provided with a storage means 22, so that the reference steering angle information from the head vehicle is stored, and when it is time for control to be required, it is taken out, compared with the current steering angle, and the steering wheel is controlled. This case is essential if the leading vehicle transmits more than two tail vehicles at the same time.

한편, 중간 차량은 전술한 후미 차량에 구동부로 후미차량으로 정보를 송신하기 위한 제어신호 송신수단(16)을 추가로 구비한다. 중간차량이 필요한 경우는 상대적으로 많은 대수가 이동하므로 제어의 오차가 심해질 가능성이 있을 때 사용되는 것이 바람직하다.On the other hand, the intermediate vehicle further includes control signal transmission means 16 for transmitting information to the rear vehicle as a rear vehicle to the driver. In the case where an intermediate vehicle is needed, a relatively large number of vehicles move, so it is preferable to be used when there is a possibility that the control error becomes severe.

이러한 경우는 한대의 선두차량에 수대의 후미차량만을 가지고 운행하는 것보다, 한대의 선두차량 한대의 후미차량 그리고 수대의 중간차량을 두어 각 차량간에 조향각을 새롭게 보정하고 보정한 결과를 기초로 새로운 기준조향각을 설정해야 하는 경우에 유용하다.In this case, rather than driving a single leading vehicle with only a few rear vehicles, a new standard is based on the result of newly correcting and correcting the steering angle between each vehicle by having one leading vehicle and one rear vehicle and several intermediate vehicles. This is useful if you need to set the steering angle.

중복된 명칭의 장치는 이미 설명한 선두차량의 그 것과 기능이 같다. 도4와 도는 각각 선두차량과 후미차량이 정보의 송수신을 기초로 조향각을 결정하는 제어흐름도 이다.The device with the duplicate name has the same function as that of the first vehicle already described. 4 and FIG. 4 are control flow charts for determining the steering angle based on transmission and reception of the head vehicle and the tail vehicle, respectively.

기술적 한계와 현실적 상태를 고려하여 구성된 전술한 시스템에의해, 여러대를 일렬로 하여 주행하는 집단무인주행차량의 조향각제어를 위한 시스템을 구성하여 집단무인자율차량의 개발로 인하여 물류비용의 절감을 이룩할 수 있게 되었으며, 이에 따라 효율성을 높이려는 요구를 실현할 수 있게 되었다.According to the above-described system configured in consideration of technical limitations and realistic conditions, a system for steering angle control of a group unmanned driving vehicle that runs in multiple lines can be configured to achieve a reduction in logistics costs by developing a group unmanned autonomous vehicle. This makes it possible to meet the demand for greater efficiency.

본 발명은 집단무인차량의 제어에 관한 것으로, 집단적으로 운행하는 차량간의 조향각제어를 자동적으로 행하도록 하여, 차량간의 정보의 송수신으로 선두 및 후미차량이 일렬로 운행할 수 있도록하는 집단무인주행차량의 조향각제어시스템을 구비한 집단무인자율주행을 위한 차량을 제공하고 이들을 주행하는 방법을 제공하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다.The present invention relates to the control of a group unmanned vehicle, which automatically controls steering angles between vehicles that are collectively operated, and enables the front and rear vehicles to run in line by transmitting and receiving information between vehicles. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle for group unmanned autonomous driving with a steering angle control system and to provide a method of driving the vehicle.
