Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for influencing the speed of a motor vehicle (KFZs).
- KFZs motor vehicle
- Such controls are increasingly being used under the name ACC (Autonomous / Adaptive - Cruise Control) in motor vehicles, in particular passenger cars of the upper and upper middle class.
- ACC Autonomous / Adaptive - Cruise Control
- the invention is concerned with the problem of improving the selection of the target motor vehicle and thus making the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle safer.
- characteristic values with flowing limits are determined in the electronic control unit (ECU) for at least two different road environments (city traffic, country road, freeway), one of which The variable influencing the respective characteristic value is the “ambient speed” determined from the speeds of the objects detected in the space in front of one's own motor vehicle, preferably determined by averaging.
- the invention is based on the finding that a more intensive evaluation of the driving environment of one's own motor vehicle is necessary. The results of this evaluation of the driving environment are then to be taken into account when influencing the speed of one's own motor vehicle.
- the characteristic value "ambient speed” preferably has the dimension speed (distance / time) in order to represent the situation in real road traffic, in particular the speed and driving behavior of other road users. This allows a continuous change of this characteristic value, which may also have flowing limits.
- the boundaries between two different road environments may differ from driver to driver.
- an ACC system of the type according to the invention is based on the fact that a sensor, usually a radar sensor, with a relatively narrow detection range, which is generally rigidly oriented forwards, is arranged on the front part of one's own motor vehicle.
- This sensor is used to detect objects located in the detection area and to report them to an electronic control unit (with a distance and side storage or angular position to the central axis of the sensor or the motor vehicle, as well as the size of the object, if applicable).
- the lane or the driving corridor of your own vehicle is first determined in the electronic control unit . Based on this, a vehicle is then determined according to certain criteria, usually the closest vehicle in its own driving corridor as the destination vehicle driving ahead in order to use this vehicle was regulated by intervening in the engine control, the transmission control and the braking system. This enables your own vehicle to follow a vehicle in front with a safety distance (which may depend on speed and other factors), with the determination and maintenance of the safety distance through interventions in the engine control system and in the braking system of your own vehicle that are independent of the driver is made.
- the invention provides a system for evaluating the driving environment of a motor vehicle and for influencing the speed of the motor vehicle.
- This system has an electronic control unit which is connected to a signal generator which generates a signal which is characteristic of the desired speed / desired distance of the motor vehicle.
- the current (actual) speed of one's own motor vehicle is fed to the electronic control unit.
- the electronic control unit is connected to a signal generator which generates a signal which is characteristic of the rotational speed of the motor vehicle about its vertical axis.
- the electronic control unit is connected to a signal generator, which generates a characteristic signal for objects located in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle in front of the motor vehicle with regard to their distance and orientation to the motor vehicle.
- a signal generator which generates a characteristic signal for objects located in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle in front of the motor vehicle with regard to their distance and orientation to the motor vehicle.
- This can be a radar sensor, an ultrasound or infrared sensor, but also an image sensor (video camera).
- the space scanned with the sensor is approximately conical or club-shaped and, depending on the actual environmental conditions, has a length of approximately 100-250 meters and an opening angle of approximately 12 °. Reliable detection / selection can thus be made for objects that are at a distance of approximately 170 +/- 30 meters from your own vehicle or that are in front of it within this area.
- the electronic control unit is connected to a signal generator which generates a signal which is characteristic of the speed of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle.
- a signal generator which generates a signal which is characteristic of the speed of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle.
- this can be the speed sensor of the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
- the signals from these signal transmitters are processed in the electronic control unit by means of one or more computer unit (s).
- the results determined in this way are fed as output signals, which are derived from the driving behavior of the motor vehicle in front of one's own motor vehicle, from the electronic control unit to at least one control unit which influences the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle. Since the objects are recorded in a time grid of a few tens of milliseconds (for example 50 milliseconds), the changes in the positions of the individual objects over time can be determined in the electronic control unit.
- signals from the signal generator which generates a signal characteristic of objects located in the direction of travel of the vehicle in front of the vehicle with regard to their distance and orientation to the vehicle, at least their speed relative to the speed for objects located in the room of one's own vehicle, its distance relative to one's own motor vehicle, as well as the angular offset or the lateral placement relative to the longitudinal axis of one's own vehicle are continuously recorded and evaluated in the electronic control unit.
- the number of observed objects is limited.
- Standing targets i.e. those whose relative speed in the direction of travel of your own vehicle is equal to the speed of your own vehicle with opposite signs, are excluded.
- Objects located close to your own vehicle are preferred to objects located further away.
- All objects that the electronic control unit classifies as target objects at all as being suitable due to the signals detected by the radar sensor are listed in an object table in which the respective properties and data of the objects are also carried and based on the current ( New) calculations are entered or updated by the electronic control unit.
- the entire detection area is not evaluated - limited by the opening angle of the (radar) sensor - but a reduced area compared to the possible targets that are on the road in front of your own vehicle. This measure reduces the number of objects to be viewed. For the sake of simplicity, however - unless explicitly stated otherwise - it is assumed below that the actually evaluated area and the detection area in front of your own vehicle match.
- one step in the determination of the motor vehicle “to be tracked” by one's own motor vehicle is the determination of one's own lane. This is determined by its center line, its width, or approximately by sections with a constant radius of curvature.
- the present system modifies the radius of curvature R of the trajectory of the center of gravity of the vehicle in order to determine the center line of the vehicle's lane in the space in front of the vehicle based on the change in the angular bearing of the objects in front and the absolute position of the objects in front of the currently predicted lane in the electronic control unit.
- the speed of one's own vehicle divided by its instantaneous yaw rate, which is supplied to the electronic control unit by the corresponding signal transmitter, is determined as the initial value for the radius of curvature R (for example in the case of missing objects in front).
- the radius of curvature of the trajectory is then modified in the electronic control unit by the lateral speeds as a function of objects moving in the space detected in front of the motor vehicle.
- Some other criteria, which lead to a change in the radius of curvature or which are taken into account and evaluated by the program running in the electronic control unit when updating the radius of curvature, are: (i) The length of stay of the objects in front of the vehicle by the Move the sensor-detected space, (ii) the speed in the direction of travel of your own vehicle of the objects moving in the space detected in front of the vehicle, and / or (iii) the distance of the objects from your own motor vehicle that are in the space detected in front of the vehicle move. If the speed of your own vehicle is low, the radius of curvature is also reduced, since an increased stability (low noise or constancy) of the signal reflecting the lateral position of the vehicle is achieved in this way.
- a (non-linear) reduction factor is preferably listed in a table.
- the extent to which changes to the curve radius are permitted also depends on the curve radius itself. With a very small curve radius, a relatively high rate of change is permitted. In particular with curve exits it is then achieved that the correct lane of the preceding vehicle which was selected as the target vehicle - but also one's own lane - is quickly found again on a straight section following the curve.
- the system according to the invention defines a width of its own lane, which initially depends on the vehicle dimensions plus a safety surcharge of approximately 0.2-0.7 meters on each side.
- the own lane On a straight route, the own lane would thus have an essentially rectangular shape, the length of which - at any point in time - is somewhat less than the range of the radar sensor.
- This essentially rectangular lane has been reproduced as a data structure in the electronic control unit.
- the width of the lane in the near area (about 0 - 50 meters) and in the far area (150+ meters) is less than in the middle area (50 - 150 meters).
- the width of one's own lane is only defined in the electronic control unit at those points in the space in front of one's own motor vehicle that are also located in the space in front of one's own motor vehicle Objects.
- the system modifies the width of one's own lane depending on the distance of objects detected in the space in front of one's own vehicle and the orientation of a curve in the electronic control unit so that the width on the outside of the curve at a great distance (150+ meters) decreases and the width increases in the middle distance (50 - 150 meters) on the inside of the curve. This procedure reduces the selection of unfavorable objects as target motor vehicles, which are "tracked" by one's own vehicle.
- the driver's own lane in the electronic control unit is widened on both sides at the point at which the target vehicle is located, depending on the duration with which the driving behavior of one's own vehicle depends on the driving behavior of this target vehicle.
- the width of one's own lane in the electronic control unit can also be modified depending on the curvature of the road on which one's own vehicle is located.
- the width is reduced when the road is very winding.
- the curvature radius that is currently and possibly also only a short time ago is evaluated in the electronic control unit. If the radius of curvature is small, the width is reduced.
- the width of the own lane is increased in order to avoid that the target vehicle is "lost" from the pursuit due to slight lateral movements of the own or the pursued vehicle.
- Another criterion in determining the optimal target vehicle in front, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own vehicle is to be made dependent, is the determination of the lanes on the road on which one's own vehicle is moving. This is not a search for - often also non-existent - boundary markings of the lane. Rather, the behavior of the other objects moving in front of your own vehicle is evaluated in order to draw conclusions about how many lanes the road has and which of these lanes your own vehicle is moving.
- the system according to the invention maintains so-called lane lists for three lanes in the direction of travel of one's own motor vehicle and for three lanes in the opposite direction of travel.
- the temporal progression of the side storage i.e. the lateral offset of the respective object with respect to the central axis of one's own vehicle and / or the progression of the predicted lane
- the temporal progression of the side storage is carried out using low-pass filtering smoothed with a short time constant and then integrated.
- your own lane is first determined.
- objects on the lateral edges of the detected space are assigned a low weighting factor and objects in the central area of the detected space are assigned a higher weighting factor.
- very distant objects and very close objects are occupied with a large side shelf with a low weighting factor.
- All low-valued objects have in common that their exact lateral position is difficult to determine and is also highly inaccurate. Therefore, they should only be of minor importance in determining the lane. Your own lane is determined from the objects weighted in this way, taking into account the movements of your own motor vehicle, in the electronic control unit.
- moving objects in the electronic control unit are classified as objects in one's own lane if an object further away than a minimum distance has a duration of occurrence in one's own lane during a predetermined time frame that is the sum of the duration of the occurrence in one or both of the neighboring tracks has a ratio that exceeds a threshold value that depends on the distance of the object.
- the predetermined time frame can be modified as a function of the speed of one's own motor vehicle in the electronic control unit in order to optimize and adapt the function to different boundary conditions and environments.
- the threshold value can be reduced as the distance of the object from the vehicle in the electronic control unit decreases.
- moving objects detected in the space in front of one's own motor vehicle are classified in the electronic control unit as objects in the objects to the left or right of one's own lane if an object is to the left of the left boundary of one's own lane or to the right of the right boundary of your lane is at the appropriate distance.
- a lane assignment is also made for the oncoming motor vehicles on the basis of their direction of travel and their respective side storage.
- the duration of stay of all objects for the existing lanes in relation to one's own lane is determined and weighted over time, with newer appearances of objects in the lane of one's own vehicle being valued higher than previous appearances, and spatially distant appearances of objects in the lane of one's own vehicle are rated lower than appearances that are closer to one another. This ensures that the objects are reliably determined to be traveling in their own lane. This reduces the likelihood of an incorrect selection when selecting the target object behind which “to drive”.
- each priority object in the electronic control unit it is determined how far each priority object changes its lateral position relative to the center line of the lane of its own motor vehicle.
- the sum of the mean values of the lateral changes in position of the priority objects is determined as the change value of the lane of one's own motor vehicle at the respective distance from one's own motor vehicle.
- the one selected as the target vehicle, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own vehicle is to depend which (i) moves in the lane of one's own vehicle, (ii) a direction of movement above ground has, which essentially corresponds to the direction of movement of your own vehicle; and (iii) has already been detected in the room in front of one's own motor vehicle for a predetermined period of time.
- the program running in the electronic control unit preferably selects from the priority objects the one as the target vehicle, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own vehicle is to be dependent, at which the transverse speed does not exceed a threshold value relative to the center line of one's own lane.
- the page storage of the individual objects from the target list is preferably differentiated according to the time.
- the threshold value can be changed depending on the distance of the respective object from your own vehicle.
- the time course of this value is smoothed in the electronic control unit using a low pass. If the smoothed value curve for an object exceeds a distance-dependent threshold, this object is excluded from being selected as the target vehicle.
- Another measure to increase the stability of the system - that is, to avoid incorrect selections - is that the electronic control unit excludes a priority object from the target list from being selected as a target motor vehicle if (i) its distance from the own vehicle is less than a distance threshold, (ii) the absolute value of the bearing angle to this priority object is greater than an angle threshold (for example 4 °), and (iii) this priority object has not previously been used as a target vehicle was selected.
- the system according to the invention continuously evaluates the change in the bearing angle seen from one's own motor vehicle and the rotation rate for one's own motor vehicle in order to recognize a lane change in one's own motor vehicle for the target motor vehicle. For this purpose, it is determined whether the change in the bearing angle to the target motor vehicle, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle is to depend, is above a certain threshold value and is essentially the same as the yaw rate of the own motor vehicle with an inverse sign.
- a variable related to the curvature of the lane of one's own motor vehicle is input as the input signal in parallel to several TP filters with different time constants (lower, preferably 1st order) fed.
- the output signals of the TP filter and the input signal are compared with one another.
- the (amplitudes of) the output signals are at a minimum distance from one another and the output signal of a respective low-pass filter is less than the output signal of a low-pass filter with a smaller time constant and larger than the output signal of a low-pass filter with a larger time constant, or If the output signal of a respective low-pass filter is greater than the output signal of a low-pass filter with a lower time constant and less than the output signal of a low-pass filter with a larger time constant, a transition from a curve of an orientation to one becomes in the course of the road of your own vehicle Recognized curve of opposite orientation.
- the electronic control unit has determined that your vehicle is in a curve transition, for example an S curve, the length of the lane evaluated is reduced, since in this situation different objects often change their side storage very strongly. With a reduced evaluation length, objects driving in front of one's own vehicle fall out of the consideration, in particular at a greater distance. In such a situation, since the likelihood that an object driving farther away in front of your own vehicle will incorrectly appear in your own lane is relatively high, the error rate is reduced by reducing the evaluation length.
- An important aspect in the area recognition is the street type recognition.
- the street type recognition is an advantage with an optimal coordination in the selection of the target vehicle and in the regulation of the speed of your own vehicle.
- the system evaluates the speed of one's own motor vehicle, the number of lanes detected with the same direction of travel as that of one's own motor vehicle, the curvature of the lanes, etc. In order to achieve this, a characteristic value is determined according to the invention which has smooth transitions and as the ambient speed is defined. This parameter has the dimension of speed (distance / time).
- the system according to the invention determines characteristic values in the electronic control unit in order to distinguish the type of street on which the vehicle is driving, for at least two different street environments (city traffic, country road, motorway), a variable influencing the respective characteristic value being derived from the speeds of the vehicle objects detected in the space in front of one's own motor vehicle and the speed of one's own motor vehicle, preferably determined by averaging, the ambient speed.
- the road environments do not have rigid limits, but fluid limits.
- the "ambient speed” value, provided it is in the "Autobahn” area, is approximately 120 km / h - 150 km / h. This applies even if the vehicle's actual speed is currently lower or higher.
- the value In the "Country Road” area, the value is around 60 km / h - 100 km / h. In the "city traffic” area, the value is around 30 km / h - 50 km / h. Due to driving over a longer period of time at a longer high speed and low steering deflections, the electronic control unit gradually increases the "ambient speed” value to such an extent that it comes into the "Autobahn” area (120 km / h - 150 km / h).
- the value “ambient speed” is reduced at a high rate to a value of, for example, 50 km / h - 70 km / h, which corresponds to the The "Country Road” area corresponds, even if the current speed is higher.
- the value "ambient speed” is approximated in the electronic control unit from a current amount to the actually driven speed of one's own motor vehicle via a predefined function (for example ramp, step).
- an approximation of a value higher than the instantaneous amount of the actually driven speed takes place at a first speed rate and an approach of a lower value than the instantaneous amount of the actually driven speed takes place at a second, preferably considerably higher than the first speed rate.
- a second preferably considerably higher than the first speed rate.
- the value "ambient speed” is increased in the electronic control unit via a predefined function (for example, ramp, step) if there are at least two other objects traveling essentially side by side in front of your own vehicle and your own vehicle is traveling at an actual speed , which is in the "Country Road” area.
- the value of the "ambient speed” is increased at a third, preferably considerably higher than the second speed rate.
- an upper threshold value can be reached here if a relatively high speed is reached for a long time on a multi-lane motor road located outside a town.
- the "ambient speed” value is reduced to a lower limit using a predefined function (for example, ramp, step) if the "ambient speed" value and the current rate of rotation of your own vehicle would result in a lateral acceleration that constitutes a threshold value exceeds.
- the "ambient speed” value is reduced at a fourth, preferably considerably higher than the third speed rate. This ensures that the value “ambient speed” is reduced very quickly in tight curves.
- the "ambient speed” value is limited to a predeterminable multiple (for example 1.2) of the desired speed of the motor vehicle. This measure is based on the consideration that when the environment changes, for example from city traffic to a country road or motorway, the driver changes the desired speed.
- the speed level "Autobahn” cannot be reached without driver intervention.
- the value "ambient speed” can assume at most a predeterminable lower limit / threshold value and a predeterminable upper limit / threshold value.
- the course of the curvature of the lane traveled by one's own motor vehicle is differentiated according to the path in the system according to the invention.
- a characteristic value "curvature” is determined, which is independent of the speed of one's own vehicle.
- the result of the differentiation of the curvature of the lane traveled by one's own vehicle is also evaluated in the electronic control unit in order to overlap the lane in the case of long, straight sections a certain distance depending on the result of reducing the characteristic value "curvature” at a predetermined rate.
- the result of the differentiation of the curvature profile of the lane traveled by one's own motor vehicle is also evaluated in the electronic control unit in order to increase the characteristic value "curvature" at a predetermined rate in the case of S-curves (two opposite curve sections without a straight intermediate piece) depending on the result.
- the characteristic value "curvature” is increased by a dynamic rate at a high rate and if the above is eliminated the second predetermined value lying rate of rotation signal, the dynamic portion is returned.
- the dynamic portion for right-hand traffic only for right-hand bends and for left-hand traffic only for left-hand bends is added to or subtracted from this value in the electronic control unit.
- the dynamic portion is preferably modified in the electronic control unit depending on the average curvature of the lane and the change in direction of travel since the curve entered.
- the curve input is defined as the point in time at which the curvature signal exceeds the first predetermined threshold value.
- the change in direction of travel results from the integral of the yaw rate of the vehicle over time.
- the invention therefore provides a procedure which allows an estimate of how susceptible the current target selection is to a wrong selection due to the environmental situation.
- those from the selection as target motor vehicle which are further away from one's own motor vehicle than others are excluded.
- the system has information about whether your own vehicle is moving in an environment with left-hand or right-hand traffic. Based on this, the selection can be asymmetrized. According to the invention, based on this information, motor vehicles in the "slower” or “faster” lane than one's own are excluded from the selection rather than "wrong priority targets" than others in one's own lane. In addition, according to the invention, a higher acceleration is carried out after swerving into the "faster” lane, etc. For this purpose, according to the invention, during an (active or passive) overtaking process, it is determined on which side the overtaking vehicle is located when overtaking.
- the speed is determined in the electronic control unit for motor vehicles traveling in front of one's own vehicle in the existing lanes and a characteristic value is derived from this, which indicates whether the vehicle is in left-hand or right-hand traffic.
- the distance traveled or a size correlated with it is determined from a predetermined number of the vehicles traveling in front of one's own vehicle in the existing lanes and related to the corresponding size for one's own vehicle by using the characteristic value as the sum of the differences in the speeds of the vehicles a first, preferably the left lane and the speeds of the motor vehicles a second, preferably the right lane is determined.
- an upper threshold value and a lower threshold value are determined, the electronic control unit generating and storing a "right-hand traffic” signal if the characteristic value exceeds the upper threshold value, and the electronic control unit generating and storing a "left-hand traffic” signal if the characteristic value falls below the lower threshold. Only speeds of motor vehicles that exceed a predetermined threshold value are preferably taken into account. This avoids false evaluations due to column traffic or in towns. In order to avoid errors in the lane assignment, motor vehicles driving in front of one's own motor vehicle are only evaluated if the radius of the lane exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
- the control unit in motor vehicles with a relative speed that is negative relative to the speed of one's own motor vehicle, whose loading load is greater than the speed of your own vehicle, the sign of the respective characteristic value is inverted before adding up.
- the characteristic value can be provided with a weighting factor.
- the detection area in front of one's own vehicle extends essentially conically in front of the front of the vehicle symmetrically to its central longitudinal axis with a relatively narrow opening angle, the "loss" of the target vehicle can occur in tight curves.
- the speed of your own vehicle is increased by the electronic control unit. The result of this is that the motor vehicle approaches a curve situation at increased speed or accelerates in the curve. As a result, the driver must intervene and brake.
- a control signal is generated in the electronic control unit, which signals the current speed or the current acceleration of the own motor vehicle to at least one value for a distance limited, which essentially corresponds to the maximum distance X between your own vehicle and the target vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area.
- the speed of your own motor vehicle remains constant or increases only slightly until your own motor vehicle has also reached the curve, or the place where the target motor vehicle has been "lost". This means a considerable gain in comfort and safety, as hardly any brake intervention by the driver is required, even on very winding roads.
- the driver essentially only has to steer while the target motor vehicle provides the corresponding specification for the electronic control unit in its own motor vehicle due to its deceleration before a corner entry or acceleration at the corner exit.
- the electronic control unit bridges the period between “losing” and “finding” the target motor vehicle accordingly. Since the loss of the target vehicle generally only occurs when it is already in the curve, in a preferred embodiment the distance X between the driver's own vehicle and the target vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area is one Shortening distance DX reduced to an effective distance Xeff.
- the shortening distance DX is dependent on the surroundings (highway, country road, city traffic), the speed of the target vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area, the current speed of one's own vehicle, the curve radii of curves that have already been traveled in the past within a predetermined period of time, or The like. Change depending.
- the shortening distance DX can also be determined from the average of the curve radii of curves that have already been traveled in the past within a predetermined period of time.
- the control signal contains information about it, or is characteristic for a maximum period of time, which results from the current speed of one's own motor vehicle and the distance X between one's own motor vehicle and the target motor vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area or the effective distance Xeff ,
- it can also be determined whether an object that is located in the detection area in front of one's own vehicle falls short of a predetermined distance and is not in the lane of one's own vehicle from the selection as a priority Object is excluded.
- This strategy according to the invention takes into account the fact that the location can no longer be determined with the required accuracy for targets at a short distance from one's own motor vehicle.

- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a schematic block diagram of a system according to the invention for evaluating the driving environment of a motor vehicle and for influencing the speed of the motor vehicle.
- This system has an electronic control unit ECU which is connected to a signal generator which generates a signal which is characteristic of the desired speed Vsoll of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the electronic control unit ECU receives a signal characteristic of the yaw rate dPSI / dt of the motor vehicle about its vertical axis from a signal transmitter operating as a yaw rate sensor. In addition, the electronic control unit ECU is connected to a signal transmitter operating as a radar sensor RS.
- the radar sensor RS generates signals for objects located in the direction of travel of the vehicle in front of the vehicle with regard to their distance and orientation to the vehicle, which signals are fed to the electronic control unit ECU and are further processed in a manner described below. Furthermore, the electronic control unit ECU receives signals v (VL), v () which are characteristic of the motor vehicle's wheels VL, VR, HL, HR from signal transmitters operating as wheel speed sensors, as are also required, for example, for ABS operation. VR), v (HL), v (HR).
- a rotation angle encoder LW is used as a signal generator for the steering angle of the motor vehicle steering wheel and a rotation angle generator FP is also connected to the electronic control unit ECU as a signal generator for the position of the accelerator pedal of the motor vehicle.
- the electronic control unit ECU is connected to control units influencing the driving behavior of the motor vehicle in the form of the engine management or the electrical or electrohydraulic braking system in order to supply these output signals, which are derived from the driving behavior of the motor vehicle in front of the own motor vehicle and possibly the vehicle environment.
- the radar sensor RS continuously scans the space in front of the motor vehicle and generates signals which are characteristic of objects X located in the space in front of the motor vehicle with regard to their distance and orientation to the motor vehicle.
- the speed v_rel_X of the object X relative to the speed v of one's own motor vehicle, the distance d_x relative to one's own motor vehicle, the angular offset Alpha_x or the lateral placement relative to the vehicle's longitudinal axis of one's own motor vehicle are continuously recorded and evaluated in the electronic control unit ECU (see FIG. 2 ).
- the space scanned with the sensor in front of the motor vehicle is approximately conical or club-shaped and has a length of approximately 200-250 meters and an opening angle of approximately 12 °, depending on the actual environmental conditions. To increase the evaluation reliability, however, only objects located in a core area of approximately 8-10 ° are considered.
- Reliable detection can thus be carried out for objects that are at a maximum distance of approximately 200 +/- 30 meters from your own vehicle or in front of it within or below this area. move.
- This essentially rectangular lane is simulated in the electronic control unit ECU as a data structure and divided into a near area (for example about 0 - 50 meters), a far area (for example 150+ meters), and a middle area (for example 50 - 150 meters) ,
- the data signals can originate from special sensors provided for the system according to the invention in the motor vehicle or from sensors which are also provided for other motor vehicle systems (brake control, "electronic steering wheel", EPS, or the like) and into a bus system provided in the motor vehicle ( (e.g. CAN-BUS) feed your data.
- An essential part of the system according to the invention consists of an object table OT in which the (movable and possibly also static) objects located in the space in front of the motor vehicle with their attributes (for example speed relative to the speed of one's own motor vehicle, the distance relative to one's own motor vehicle) , the angular offset or the side shelf relative to the vehicle's longitudinal axis, how long a certain object has been in the object table OT, how often it has changed lanes, etc.), i.e. its object descriptions are kept.
- the object table OT and its history HIST i.e.
- a vehicle environment description FUB (if the vehicle moves in left-hand or right-hand traffic, does it drive on a motorway, a country road or in city traffic, how many lanes does it have? Road currently used by the vehicle, in which lane the vehicle is currently located, the road currently used by the vehicle is curvy, if so to what extent, or the road is straight, etc.), from which, together with the history, HIST the object table OT and the current data in the object selection OA, an object from the object table OT is selected as the target motor vehicle, which is used as a "vehicle in front" in order to adapt its driving behavior (speed vsoll, distance dsoll etc.) to its driving behavior as shown in FIG. 4.
- the radius of curvature R of the trajectory of the center of gravity of one's own vehicle is modified based on the change in the angular bearing of the objects in front and the absolute position of the objects in front of the currently predicted lane in the electronic control unit ECU . This means that the distance from the current location in the lane is determined in the electronic control unit ECU for one's own vehicle, after which the radius of curvature R of the trajectory of the center of gravity of one's own vehicle changes. The extent of the change is determined from the change in the angular bearing of the objects in front or their absolute position relative to the currently predicted lane.
- the course and the width of the lane of one's own motor vehicle in the space in front of it are also stored and updated as a description.
- the width of one's own lane is modified depending on the distance to one's own motor vehicle in the electronic control unit ECU, the maximum width being less in the near area and in the far area than in the middle area.
- the width of your own lane is only in those places in the room in front of your own vehicle in the electronic Control unit ECU defined, on which there are also objects in the detected space in front of one's own motor vehicle.
- the width of one's own lane is modified in the vehicle environment description (FIG.
- the width of one's own lane in the electronic control unit ECU can be widened on both sides at the point at which a target motor vehicle is located, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle should be dependent.
- the own lane is broadened by the electronic control unit ECU depending on the length of time with which the driving behavior of one's own vehicle depends on the driving behavior of this target vehicle, at the point at which the target Cars is located (see Fig. 5).
- the width of one's own lane in the electronic control unit (ECU) is modified depending on the speed of one's own motor vehicle and / or on the curvature of the road on which one's own motor vehicle is located.
- a procedure according to the invention is explained below for determining the curvature.
- Another feature that plays a role in the selection of an object as the target vehicle is its lane.
- the objects in the room in front of your own vehicle are classified in terms of their current position in comparison to the lane width at the appropriate distance from your own vehicle.
- Moving objects detected in front of one's own vehicle are classified in the electronic control unit ECU as objects in one's own lane if an object that is further away than a minimum distance has a duration of occurrence in one's own lane during a predetermined time frame that is the sum of the duration of occurrence in one or both neighboring tracks have a ratio that exceeds a threshold.
- this object is stored with the corresponding attributes in the object table OT.
- FIG. 5 a illustrates the probability distribution with which a motor vehicle can be found in a left, middle or right lane.
- a corresponding value is stored in the object table OT and updated for each of the objects.
- the predetermined time frame can be modified as a function of the speed of one's own motor vehicle in the electronic control unit ECU and stored in the object table OT.
- the threshold value can be reduced as the distance of the object from the vehicle in the electronic control unit ECU decreases.
- the duration of stay of all objects for the existing lanes in relation to the own lane is determined and weighted over the 'time. This is stored as an attribute in the object table OT. Appearances of objects in the lane of one's own vehicle that are more recent are rated higher than appearances in the past, and appearances of objects in the lane of one's own vehicle that are located distant are rated less than appearances that are closer to one another.
- a maximum of two moving objects are selected as priority objects in the object table OT by the electronic control unit ECU and provided with a corresponding identifier as an attribute in the object table OT if they exist as for a period that is above a minimum value your own vehicle was recorded moving. This duration is weighted less for objects that are very close to your own motor vehicle (0 - 30 m) and objects that are very far from your own motor vehicle (120 - 200 m), and objects in between are weighted more heavily. For each priority object identified in this way in the object table OT, the electronic control unit ECU determines how far each priority object changes its lateral position relative to the center line of the lane of its own motor vehicle.
- the e- Electronic control unit ECU determines the sum of the mean values of the lateral changes in position of the priority objects and also stores them in the object table OT.
- the object selection OA (FIG. 4) in the electronic control unit ECU selects from the priority objects that the target vehicle from whose driving behavior the driving behavior of one's own vehicle is to depend, which is moving in the lane of one's own vehicle Has a direction of movement over the ground that essentially corresponds to the direction of movement of one's own motor vehicle; and during a predetermined period of time, which is read from the object table OT and its history HIST, was recorded in the room in front of one's own motor vehicle.
- the lateral speed relative to the center line of one's own lane is also carried and updated as an attribute in the object table OT for each of the priority objects.
- This also allows the selection of the target vehicle according to the criterion that this transverse speed does not exceed a threshold value that can also be changed depending on the distance of the respective object from one's own vehicle.
- the noise amplitude of the bearing angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis of one's own motor vehicle is recorded as an attribute in the object table OT for each of the objects selected as priority objects and, if necessary, is included in the history HIST. It is thus possible to evaluate the temporal course of the noise amplitude of the bearing angle for each of the priority objects in the electronic control unit ECU.
- the noise signal is low-pass filtered in order to suppress short angular deflections. If a distance-dependent threshold value is exceeded, this priority object is excluded from the selection as the target motor vehicle, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle is to be dependent. Similarly, a priority object is excluded from the selection as the target motor vehicle, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle is to be dependent, if its distance from the own motor vehicle is greater than a distance threshold value, the absolute value of the bearing angle to this priority Object is larger than an angle threshold (for example 4 °), and this priority object was not previously selected as the target vehicle.
- an angle threshold for example 4 °
- the continuous recording of the noise amplitude of the bearing angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis of one's own motor vehicle is very useful as an attribute in the object table OT for each of the objects selected as priority objects and, if applicable, their keeping in the history HIST.
- a lane change of one's own motor vehicle is recognized by the fact that the change in the bearing angle to the target motor vehicle, on the driving behavior of which the driving behavior of one's own motor vehicle is to depend, exceeds a certain threshold value and is essentially the same as the rotation rate of one's own motor vehicle is the opposite sign.
- the yaw rate of one's own motor vehicle can be derived from the signal of the yaw rate sensor (see FIG.
- a variable K (t) related to the curvature of the lane of one's own motor vehicle becomes an input signal in parallel with several first order TP filters T1, T2, T3, T4 with different time constants fed.
- This variable can be, for example, the curve radius or its reciprocal value determined in the manner described above, or the rate of rotation of the vehicle.
- the output signals of the TP filter and the input signal are each compared with one another in order to recognize a transition from a curve of one orientation to a curve of opposite orientation in the course of the road in one's own motor vehicle. This takes place in the electronic control unit ECU in such a way that if the output signals are at a respective minimum distance from one another and the output signal of a respective TP filter is less than the output signal of a TP filter with a lower time constant and is greater than the output signal of a TP- Filters with a larger time constant, or the output signal of a respective TP filter is greater than the output signal of a TP filter with a lower time constant and is less than the output signal of a TP filter with a larger time constant, a transition is detected.
- FIG. 7 This is illustrated in FIG. 7 in such a way that the four comparisons used in the example are carried out at two times X, Y. become. If the individual results (output signals a, b, c, d) of the four comparisons change from 1, 1, 1, 1 to 0, 0, 0, 0 in succession, it can be deduced from this that a curve transition has taken place.
- Another aspect of the system according to the invention is to determine the environment in which the vehicle is currently located. For this purpose, a value "ambient speed" in the vehicle environment description FUB (see FIG. 2) is maintained and regularly updated in the electronic control unit ECU.
- characteristic values with flowing limits are determined in the electronic control unit ECU for three different road environments (city traffic, country road, highway). This value is approximated by a current amount in stages to the actual speed of your own vehicle.
- the actually driven speed of one's own motor vehicle is derived from the accelerator pedal signal FP (see FIG. 1) or a tachometer signal (not shown further). According to the invention, an approximation of a value higher than the instantaneous amount of the actually driven speed takes place at a first speed rate and an approach of a lower value than the instantaneous amount of the actually driven speed takes place at a second, considerably higher than the first speed rate.
- the value “ambient speed” is approximated in steps from a current amount to a value which is in the region of the motorway (for example 150 km / h) if there are at least two other objects driving essentially side by side in front of one's own motor vehicle. Furthermore, the value “ambient speed” is approximated in steps from a current amount to a lower limit value. If the value “ambient speed” and the current rotation rate of your own vehicle results in a lateral acceleration that exceeds a threshold value, the value “ambient speed” is reduced at a fourth, significantly higher than the third speed rate until this lateral acceleration no longer exceeds the threshold.
- the "ambient speed” value is limited to a predeterminable multiple (for example 0.5-1.5) of the desired speed of one's own vehicle, as well as a predeterminable lower threshold value (for example 40 kmh) and a predeterminable upper threshold value (for example 160 kmh).
- the value "ambient speed” is important in several respects for the functioning of the system according to the invention, since it influences other parameters or is used to determine, modify or update them.
- other variables derived from the driving behavior of one's own or third-party motor vehicles which allow conclusions to be drawn about the environment, have an influence on these parameters.
- curvature is the curvature of the street on which your own vehicle is currently located; Expressed mathematically, this is the course of the reciprocal of the curve radius over the path. According to the invention, this curvature course is differentiated according to the path. A characteristic value "curvature” is determined as a function of the result. Depending on the result of the differentiation of the curvature course after the path, in a sequence of changes of curve over a certain distance, the "curvature" is determined with a predetermined, from the speed of one's own vehicle and / or changed depending on the distance to the target vehicle rate.
- the course of curvature is also differentiated according to the route and, in the case of long straight sections over a certain route, depending on the result, the value "curvature" with a predetermined, preferably the speed of one's own vehicle and / or the distance from Target vehicle and / or the length of the straight section dependent rate reduced.
- the value "curvature” is increased at a high rate depending on the result.
- the system according to the invention provides for adding or subtracting the dynamic portion for right-hand traffic only for right-hand bends and for left-hand traffic only for left-hand bends to the value "bendiness". The way in which right-hand traffic or left-hand traffic is recognized is described below.
- the dynamic part is also modified depending on the speed of your own vehicle.
- the geometry of the driving corridor can be adapted (for example shortened) in order to select the target relevant for the control in such a way that an incorrect target selection in corner transitions is avoided.
- a priority object that is in the detection area in front of your own vehicle falls short of a predetermined distance and is not in the lane of your own Cars that are excluded from being selected as a priority object, and an object that is outside of a predetermined angle to the central longitudinal axis of one's own vehicle or that exceeds a predetermined angle are also excluded from being selected as a priority object
- Left-hand or right-hand traffic is available in front of your own vehicle
- Motor vehicles traveling in lanes determine their speed in the electronic control unit ECU and derive from this a characteristic value which indicates whether the vehicle is in left-hand or right-hand traffic. This is illustrated in FIG.
- the distance covered by a predetermined number of the motor vehicles driving in front of the own vehicle in the existing lanes or a correlated size is determined and related to the corresponding size for the own vehicle.
- the characteristic value is determined as integra) of the differential speeds of the motor vehicles in a first, preferably the left lane, and the differential speed of the motor vehicles in a second, preferably the right lane, with respect to the speed of the own vehicle.
- an upper threshold value and a lower threshold value are determined, the electronic control unit ECU generating a "right-hand traffic" signal and storing it in the vehicle environment description FUB if the characteristic value exceeds the upper threshold value, and generating a "left-hand traffic” signal and in the FUB saves the vehicle environment description if the characteristic value falls below the lower threshold value.
- Only speeds of motor vehicles which exceed a predetermined threshold value for example 10 km / h) are taken into account for the detection of left-hand or right-hand traffic.
- a predetermined threshold value for example 25-50 m
- characteristic values of motor vehicles are given a weighting factor that is relative to the speed of the own motor vehicle, the amount of which is greater than the speed of the own motor vehicle.
- the weighting factor determines the extent to which oncoming traffic is taken into account, with the relative speed being negatively considered for the vehicles recognized as oncoming traffic.
- a control signal is generated in the electronic control unit ECU, which limits the current speed or the current acceleration of one's own motor vehicle to a value at least for a distance which is at most the distance X between the own vehicle and the target vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area essentially corresponds.
- the distance X between the own vehicle and the target vehicle is continuously recorded. If the target motor vehicle leaves the detection area of the radar sensor RS of its own motor vehicle, it is reduced by a shortening distance DX to an effective distance Xeff at the time of leaving the detection area.
- This shortening route DX is dependent on the environment (highway, country road, city traffic), the speed of the target motor vehicle at the time of leaving the detection area, the current speed of one's own motor vehicle, the curve radii of curves already traveled in the past within a predetermined period of time, or the like. Since the target vehicle "disappears" in front of your own vehicle if it turns into a curve while your own vehicle is still driving straight, this would have the consequence for your own vehicle that the ACC system increases the speed. This would mean that the speed would be too high for entering the curve, so that the driver would have to brake hard.
- the functionality according to the invention prevents this effect by generating a control signal which prevents this increase in speed for a predetermined period of time.
- the control signal is characteristic for a maximum period of time - and is accordingly output for a long time - which is derived from the current speed of one's own motor vehicle and the distance X between one's own motor vehicle and the target motor vehicle when it leaves the detection area or the effective distance Xeff results.
