[0048] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] For example, this invention provides a method for extracting hazard event chains based on complex traffic scenarios, the flowchart of which is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include the following.

[0050] Step 100: Obtain test scenario data.

[0054] (2) Traffic conflict data were collected based on natural driving experiments. The traffic conflict data included vehicle-to-vehicle conflict data and vehicle-to-road conflict data.

[0055] In this embodiment, a vehicle data acquisition device equipped with sensors collects natural driving data from different drivers, including driving operation information and road environment information.

[0056] Vehicle-to-vehicle conflict data includes lane conflicts, hard braking of the vehicle in front during following, and emergency braking of the vehicle affecting the following vehicle. Lane conflicts include vehicles cutting in the same direction, vehicles occupying the lane in the opposite direction, and changing lanes when there are adjacent vehicles in a natural driving experiment.

[0057] Vehicle-road conflict data specifically includes road construction, road obstacles, road curvature, and road surface dirtiness.

[0058] Step 200: Based on preset natural driving data and sensor performance information, determine the key factors of dynamic attributes and interactions between the vehicle and the environment, and classify and quantify the uncertainty of the key factors.

[0059] Specifically, it includes:

[0060] (1) Obtain the uncertainty of the perception result based on the sensor performance information, which includes camera data, millimeter-wave radar data and lidar data.

[0061] (2) Based on natural driving data, we can obtain uncertainty in interaction characteristics and uncertainty in information blind spots.

[0072] Step 300: Construct a driving risk estimation model for the test scenario based on the preset multidimensional feature set of risk estimation and uncertainty information.

[0073] In this embodiment, a multi-dimensional feature set for risk estimation is constructed based on the quantified dynamic attributes and key factors of interaction between the vehicle and the environment. By comprehensively analyzing the effects of each element in the multi-dimensional feature set on driving risk, a unified driving risk model is established. This model includes the field strength of each traffic element, the force exerted by the risk field on the tested vehicle, and the driving risk coefficient. Using the field strengths of traffic elements such as people, vehicles, and roads described by the kinetic energy field, potential energy field, and behavioral field, the force exerted by the risk field on the tested vehicle and the driving risk coefficient are calculated.

[0074] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0075] (1) Based on the combined effect of the human-vehicle-road elements in the surrounding environment on driving risk, a unified driving risk field model is established as shown in equation (1).

[0076] E S =E R +E V +E D (1)

[0077] In the formula, E S For the overall strength of driving risk field, E R For potential energy fields to be strong, E V For a strong kinetic field, E D For behavior field strength.

[0078] (2) By establishing mathematical models of the kinetic energy field, potential energy field and behavioral field formed by various elements in the driving environment, a driving risk field model of the vehicle is constructed, and the total field strength of the driving risk field of the tested vehicle is calculated.

[0079] Among them, the kinetic energy field strength E formed by the moving object a at the location of the tested vehicle j is... V_aj for:

[0080]

[0081] In the formula, r aj =(x j -x a ,y j –y a () represents the distance vector between two points, where k1, k2, and G are undetermined constants greater than zero, and v a Let θ be the velocity of the moving object a. a The direction of velocity is relative to r ajThe included angle, M a Let R be the virtual mass of a moving object a in the road environment. a The road condition factor is the location of the moving object a.

[0082] The potential energy field strength E of the stationary object b at the location of the vehicle j being tested R_bj for:

[0083]

[0084] In the formula, r bj =(x j -x b ,y j –y b () represents the distance vector between two points, k1 and G are undetermined constants greater than zero, and M b Let R be the virtual mass of the stationary object b. b The road condition factor is the location of the stationary object b.

[0085] The field strength E at the location of the tested vehicle j is the behavioral field created by the driver c of surrounding vehicles driving under certain road conditions. D_cj for:

[0086] E D_cj =E V_cj ·D c (4)

[0087] In the formula, E V_cj Let D be the field strength of the kinetic energy field generated by the vehicle driven by driver c at the location of the tested vehicle j. c For driver c, the risk factor.

[0088] Construct a driving risk field model for the vehicle under test, and calculate the total field strength E of the driving risk field for the vehicle under test. S_j :

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, E V_aj E R_bj and E D_cj q and z represent the field strength vectors at the location of the vehicle j, respectively, representing the kinetic energy field formed by a single moving object, the potential energy field formed by a stationary object, and the behavioral field formed by the driver. p, q, and z are the total number of objects in each field.

[0091] (3) Calculate the force F exerted on the vehicle under test in the driving risk field based on the total field strength of the driving risk field. j for:

[0092] F j =E S_j Mj [R j ·exp(-k2v j cosθ j )·(1+D j (6)

[0093] In the formula, E S_j M represents the total field strength of the driving risk field for the tested vehicle. j R represents the virtual mass of the vehicle being tested. j The road condition factor is the location of the vehicle being tested, k2 is an undetermined coefficient, and v j Let θ be the speed of the vehicle being measured. j The direction of velocity v j With field strength E S_j The angle between directions, D j The risk factors for the tested vehicle.

[0094] (4) Calculate the driving risk coefficient C of the tested vehicle based on the forces acting on the vehicle in the driving risk field. risk for:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, F j This represents the risk field force exerted on the tested vehicle j at a certain moment within the driving risk field formed by the surrounding environment's elements of people, vehicles, and roads. F and σ F The force F represents the force applied over a certain period of time. j Let the mean and standard deviation be... It conforms to a standard normal distribution, and f(x) represents the density function of the standard normal distribution. Indicates that the independent variable is greater than Probability.

[0097] In practical applications, the kinetic energy field represents the "physical field" that characterizes the impact of moving objects on driving risks. Moving objects on the road mainly include moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, and non-motorized vehicles. The magnitude and direction of the kinetic energy field are mainly determined by the object's properties, state of motion, and road conditions. Influencing factors include object type, mass, speed, acceleration, road surface adhesion coefficient, and road gradient, primarily reflecting the magnitude of the object's kinetic energy. The potential energy field represents the "physical field" that characterizes the impact of stationary objects on driving risks. Stationary objects on the road mainly include stopped vehicles, medians, roadblocks, and traffic signs. The magnitude and direction of the potential energy field are mainly determined by the properties of the stationary objects and road conditions. Influencing factors include object type, mass, and environmental visibility. The behavioral field represents the "physical field" that characterizes the impact of driver behavior characteristics on driving risks. Driver behavior characteristics mainly include the driver's driving style, skills, legal awareness, gender, age, driving experience, personality, physical fitness, and psychological state. The magnitude and direction of the behavioral field are mainly determined by the driver's behavioral characteristics. For example, aggressive drivers often have a higher risk factor than conservative drivers, and their "behavioral field" intensity is higher. Drivers with low driving skills usually have a higher "behavioral field" than drivers with high driving skills, and so on.

[0098] Step 400: Optimize the driving risk estimation model to obtain an optimized risk estimation model for the test.

[0099] Specifically, the process includes the following steps:

[0100] (1) Based on simulation software, dangerous accident scenarios were reconstructed and tested to obtain verification results.

[0101] In this embodiment, a virtual scene of a dangerous accident is reconstructed in simulation software, and high-risk scenario testing and verification of autonomous driving is carried out in the virtual scene.

[0102] (2) Further analyze driving patterns based on the verification results.

[0103] (3) Adjust the weights in the driving risk estimation model according to driving patterns to optimize the driving risk estimation model.

[0104] Specifically, based on the factors affecting driving risks in the kinetic energy field, potential energy field and behavioral field, the importance judgment is increased (the richness of the field strength type of the "physical field", i.e. the number of influencing factors), and the weight is adjusted, that is, each item in formula (1) is increased with a weight coefficient, so that the final calculated driving risk coefficient is more accurate.

[0105] Step 500: Based on the temporal evolution characteristics of hazardous events, construct a hazardous time chain model according to the optimized risk estimation model.

[0106] include:

[0107] (1) The time series of road traffic accidents and conflicts in the optimized risk estimation model are treated as Markov random processes.

[0108] (2) Based on Markov stochastic processes, a dangerous event chain model is formed by determining the initial probability of different states in a road traffic accident and the transition probability distribution between states in the chain.

[0109] Specifically, Markov stochastic processes utilize Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), which are statistical models used to describe a Markov process containing hidden unknown parameters. A standard HMM has five variables (q, O, X, A, h). Here, q represents the hidden state, indicating a state that cannot be directly observed. O represents the observable state, indicating a state that can be directly observed. In the model, these states have specific relationships with the hidden states. X is the initial state probability matrix, representing the state transition probability distribution of the hidden states at the initial time step. A is the hidden state transition probability matrix, used to describe the probability of transitions between states in the model, where N represents the number of hidden states. ij =P(q) j |q i ), 1≤i,j≥N, indicates that at time t, the state is q. i Under the given conditions, the state at time t+1 is q j The probability of h is the observation state transition probability matrix. Let M represent the number of observable states, and h is the probability of h. ij =P(O i |q j ), 1≤i≤M, 1≤j≤N, indicates that at time t, the hidden state is q. j Under the condition that the observed state is O i The probability of.

[0110] Step 600: Solve the hazard time chain model to obtain the hazard event chain.

[0111] include:

[0112] (1) Based on the road hazard event status and vehicle driving risk coefficient distribution in the hazard event chain model, the range of the road segment passed through at different times is set to represent the hidden state, and the level is divided accordingly.

[0113] (2) Establish a prediction model based on the training dataset, which includes existing road hazard event statuses.

[0114] Specifically, existing road hazard event states are selected as the training dataset to build a prediction model, and future road hazard event states are selected as the test set to verify the accuracy and predictive power of the prediction model, ultimately obtaining a complete hazard event chain.

[0115] (3) Calculate the number of training datasets that change from the state of the previous time step to the state of the next time step, and use the formula to calculate the state transition matrix A and the observation variable transition probability matrix h.

[0116] (4) Determine the initial probability vector based on the state transition matrix A, the observation variable transition probability matrix h, and the prediction model.

[0117] (5) Determine the predicted value of the hidden state based on the prediction model.

[0118] (6) Predict the actual dangerous event state based on the initial probability vector and the hidden state prediction value. The actual dangerous event state is used to construct the dangerous event chain model.

[0119] For the initial probability value, assuming the hidden state at time t-1 is known to predict the state at time t, let {q} t-1 ,q t ,q t+1 The initial probability vector X is represented as {1,0,0}, which means that the range of dangerous event states under the actual complex traffic conditions at time t-1 is assumed to be the value of X. This value is substituted into the prediction model to continuously calculate the latest X value. The hidden state with the highest probability at time t is calculated using a formula, which is the predicted value of the hidden state at time t. Finally, the most realistic dangerous event state for the next time period t+1 is predicted, thus completing the reproduction and reconstruction of traffic accident scenarios and predicting dangerous events in the next time period when event conflicts occur in natural experiments, forming a closed loop for scenario generation.

[0120] In this embodiment, based on the existing types of traffic risk sources, the strong coupling characteristics between different levels and types of risk sources are explored, and the differences in the degree of influence of different risk sources on traffic accidents are analyzed to obtain the risk level and risk weight of each factor. In this way, comprehensive risk elements associated with multiple types of risk sources are extracted, and traffic risks corresponding to specific traffic scenarios are modeled.

[0121] Basic hazard chain model such as Figure 2As shown, based on a large amount of test scenario data, the influence mechanism of different elements on driving risk is explored by analyzing the characteristics of road traffic participants and environmental factors in the human-vehicle-road system. The uncertainty in the test scenario is quantified based on natural driving data, actual sensor performance and vehicle model, including the uncertainty of perception results, the uncertainty of interaction characteristics and the uncertainty of information blind spots. On this basis, the driving risk quantification model considering uncertain information is improved. Based on the virtual scene reconstruction and automated simulation calculation methods used in the accelerated test, the driving rules of multi-source heterogeneous data are fully explored. Based on the natural driving dataset and the driving risk influencing factors in the kinetic energy field, potential energy field and behavioral field, the importance judgment is added and the weight is adjusted. That is, the weight coefficient is added to each term in equation (1), and then the model is lightweighted.

[0122] After optimizing the risk field model, the temporal evolution characteristics of hazardous events are studied, and a hazardous event chain model is constructed. The time series of road traffic accidents / conflicts are treated as Markov random processes. By exploring the initial probabilities of different states of traffic events and the transition probability distributions between states in the chain, the evolution process of the traffic accident chain is described mathematically.

[0123] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a hazard event chain extraction system based on complex traffic scenarios, including:

[0124] The acquisition module is used to acquire test scenario data;
