[0002] With the development of automobile technology, the choice of driving mode has become an important means to improve driving experience and vehicle performance. Modern cars, especially new energy vehicles, are usually equipped with multiple driving modes, such as economy mode, comfort mode and sports mode, to adapt to different driving needs and road conditions. These modes meet the driver's different preferences for comfort, economy and power by adjusting vehicle parameters such as throttle response, gear shifting logic and power output.

[0003] However, traditional driving mode selection relies on the driver's subjective judgment and manual switching, and driving mode switching is mainly based on a preset accelerator pedal curve, which limits the optimal performance of the vehicle and the effective use of energy.

[0004] Although the existing driving mode switching technology has made some progress, it still has obvious shortcomings. The existing technology mainly focuses on the driving comfort of traditional fuel vehicles, and cannot simultaneously meet the energy consumption economy and comfort of pure electric vehicles. In pure electric vehicles, the balance between energy consumption and power output is particularly important, and there is no dynamic adjustment based on real-time driving behavior and road conditions, and it cannot adapt to the rapidly changing traffic environment and driving behavior in real time.

[0046] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0047] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: to obtain the driver behavior data and the vehicle speed, and to obtain the number of accelerator pedaling times, the accelerator pedaling depth, the brake pedaling times and the brake pedaling depth within a preset time according to the driver behavior data; to match the vehicle speed and the number of accelerator pedaling times, the accelerator pedaling depth, the brake pedaling times and the brake pedaling depth within the preset time with the evaluation function to obtain the driving condition, and to switch the vehicle driving mode according to the driving condition.

[0049] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a driving mode switching method based on driver behavior, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the driving mode switching method based on driver behavior of the present application.

[0050] In this embodiment, the driving mode switching method based on driver behavior includes steps S10 to S40:

[0051] Step S10, obtaining driver behavior data and vehicle speed.

[0052] It should be noted that the camera, accelerometer, gyroscope and other sensors installed inside the vehicle can capture the driver's behavioral characteristics in real time, such as head posture, eye movement, facial expression changes, etc., and then evaluate the driver's state, such as whether he is in a state of fatigue or distraction. At the same time, the vehicle speed sensor is usually installed on the drive wheel or drive shaft, and calculates the vehicle's speed by detecting the rotation speed of the tire or drive shaft, and sends this information to the vehicle's dashboard to display the current speed. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with various types of sensors for monitoring vehicle dynamics, such as the accelerator pedal position sensor used to record the number and depth of accelerator pedaling, and the brake pedal pressure sensor used to measure the number and depth of brake pedaling. The data collected by these sensors is crucial for building a comprehensive driving behavior portrait. Next, in order to ensure the quality of the data and make it suitable for subsequent analysis, the raw data is preprocessed. This step includes operations such as removing noise, filling missing values, and standardization to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the data. The preprocessed data can be used to train machine learning models, especially deep neural networks, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) for image feature extraction and recurrent neural networks (RNN) for time series data analysis. In this way, valuable patterns can be learned from large amounts of historical data and used to predict future driving behavior.

[0053] Step S20, obtaining the number of accelerator pedaling times, accelerator pedaling depth, brake pedaling times and brake pedaling depth within a preset time according to the driver behavior data.

[0054] Step S30, matching the vehicle speed and the number of accelerator pedaling times, accelerator pedaling depth, brake pedaling times and brake pedaling depth within a preset time with the evaluation function to obtain the driving condition. The above evaluation function sets corresponding thresholds for the number of accelerator pedaling times, accelerator pedaling depth, brake pedaling times and brake pedaling depth and then performs evaluation.

[0055] It should be understood that the evaluation function performs a comprehensive evaluation by setting corresponding thresholds for the number of accelerator pedaling times, accelerator pedaling depth, brake pedaling times, and brake pedaling depth. The selection and setting of these parameters are based on a large amount of experimental data and statistical analysis to ensure that they can reflect the real driving behavior characteristics.

[0056] Furthermore, the number and depth of accelerator pedaling reflect the intensity of the driver's demand for acceleration. Frequent and deep accelerator pedaling usually means that the driver wants to increase the speed quickly, which may be for overtaking or responding to changes in traffic flow. When a high accelerator pedaling frequency and a large pedaling depth are detected in a short period of time, the evaluation function will determine that the vehicle is accelerating or driving at high speed. On the contrary, if the accelerator operation is relatively gentle, it may mean that the vehicle is driving steadily or at a low speed. Secondly, the number and depth of brake pedaling are equally important, and they are directly related to the process of decelerating or stopping the vehicle. Frequent and intense use of brakes indicates that there is an emergency ahead that requires emergency avoidance, or that the driver habitually adopts an aggressive driving style. By setting reasonable brake pedaling number and depth thresholds, the evaluation function can distinguish the difference between normal deceleration and emergency braking, and adjust the vehicle's safety and comfort settings accordingly. Combined with vehicle speed information, the above four key indicators constitute a complete driving behavior portrait. For example, in congested urban roads, due to frequent starts and stops, the accelerator and brake operations will be more frequent; while when cruising on the highway, the throttle operation is relatively stable and the brakes are used less. Therefore, the evaluation function will adjust its internal logic according to different types of driving environments to adapt to diverse driving needs. In addition, considering that different models and user preferences may differ, the evaluation function also supports personalized configuration, allowing users to adjust the specific thresholds of each parameter according to their own driving habits.

[0057] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the evaluation result, in step S30, in addition to relying on static thresholds, the evaluation function also introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism. Specifically, historical driver behavior data is obtained, and according to the historical driver behavior data, the thresholds of the number of accelerator pedal strokes, accelerator pedal depth, brake pedal strokes and brake pedal depth in the evaluation function are adjusted. Specifically, the target set and the corresponding time set and location set related to the driving process can be obtained from the driving history data, and these data contain rich driving behavior information. By deeply mining these data, driving habits under specific conditions can be found. For example, in congested sections of the city, the operation frequency of the accelerator and brake is high; while when cruising on the highway, it is manifested as less but deeper accelerator operation. Based on such insights, the evaluation function can set more reasonable thresholds for different driving environments to adapt to diverse driving needs. For example, when it is detected that the driver usually maintains a stable speed on the highway and rarely uses the brakes, the threshold of the number of brake pedal strokes will be appropriately increased to avoid misjudgment as abnormal driving behavior. Similarly, if the driver is accustomed to frequently tapping the accelerator to fine-tune acceleration, reducing the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal depth can help reduce unnecessary intervention.

[0058] Step S40: switching the vehicle driving mode according to the driving conditions.

[0059] It should be noted that driving conditions cover the vehicle's speed, acceleration, load, road conditions (such as urban roads, highways, mountain roads, etc.) and climate conditions (such as temperature, humidity, etc.). Different driving conditions require different driving modes to match to ensure optimal performance and fuel economy. For example, in congested driving conditions, frequent starts and stops, and low-speed driving, selecting the economy mode can effectively reduce unnecessary fuel consumption and make the vehicle speed more stable, which is suitable for daily commuting and other scenarios; in smooth driving conditions, the sports mode can be enabled. At this time, the electronic control unit will increase the engine speed, allowing the vehicle to maintain sufficient torque and provide better acceleration performance, which is suitable for fast overtaking or enjoying driving pleasure.

[0060] Further, step S40 also includes: obtaining the acceleration and steering state of the vehicle; judging whether the vehicle is in a turning state according to the acceleration and steering state; when the vehicle is in a turning state, switching the vehicle driving mode to the economic mode. Specifically, the linear and angular acceleration data of the vehicle can be provided by the vehicle inertial measurement unit (IMU), and the steering angle sensor can capture the position change of the steering wheel. Combining these two key parameters, an algorithm is used to analyze whether the current vehicle is performing a turning action. When it is detected that the vehicle is in a turning state, that is, there is a significant lateral acceleration or a large front wheel turning angle, if the preset conditions are met, such as a lower speed range or a specific road type (city streets rather than highways), the vehicle driving mode is switched to the economic mode. Because during the turning process, the vehicle usually does not need a lot of power output, especially in the slow turning scenario common in urban environments. Therefore, switching to the economic mode can help reduce unnecessary fuel consumption while maintaining sufficient traction to ensure safety.

[0061] Furthermore, step S40 also includes: learning based on the driver's behavior data to obtain the driver's driving habits, setting the switching logic and parameters of the driving mode according to the driver's driving habits, and then executing the switching of the vehicle driving mode according to the switching logic and parameters. Specifically, by collecting and analyzing the driver's operating habits under different driving conditions, such as the frequency and depth of accelerator pedaling, brake usage, steering angle, etc., a driving behavior model is constructed. This model not only reflects the driver's daily driving style, but also can identify the emergency response mode under specific situations. In addition, considering the balance between safety and comfort, personalized comfort settings are customized according to different types of drivers. For example, for drivers who prefer soft control, the hardness of the suspension system and the feedback strength of the steering wheel are further adjusted; for drivers who pursue the ultimate control feeling, various parameters are allowed to be adjusted in the personalized mode, including but not limited to the power output curve, steering assist level, etc., and finally the vehicle mode is switched based on the parameters of the final driving behavior model. Furthermore, with the advancement of machine learning algorithms, especially the application of deep learning, its ability to understand driver behavior is improved. This is not limited to simple pattern matching, but also includes predicting future driving intentions and preparing the most appropriate driving mode in advance, thereby providing a more seamless and natural driving assistance experience. For example, before approaching an intersection known to slow down frequently, the vehicle can switch to energy-saving mode in advance, or judge based on historical data that the upcoming highway section is suitable for turning on cruise control.

[0062] This embodiment provides a driving mode switching method based on driver behavior, by acquiring driver behavior data and vehicle speed, obtaining the number of accelerator pedaling times, accelerator pedaling depth, brake pedaling times and brake pedaling depth within a preset time according to the driver behavior data, matching the vehicle speed and the number of accelerator pedaling times, accelerator pedaling depth, brake pedaling times and brake pedaling depth within a preset time with an evaluation function, obtaining driving conditions, and switching the vehicle driving mode according to the driving conditions. By collecting driver behavior data and vehicle speed, analyzing the accelerator and brake operation frequency and depth within a preset time, and combining the evaluation function to determine the driving conditions, the driving mode is switched accordingly, and the driving mode is adaptively switched by adjusting the driver behavior in real time, thereby improving driving safety and fuel economy and driving experience.

[0063] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. Figure 2 The driving mode switching method based on driver behavior step S30 also includes steps S301 to S303:

[0064] Step S301, when the vehicle speed is less than a first speed threshold, the number of accelerator pedaling times within a preset time is greater than a first preset number of pedaling times, the accelerator pedaling depth within the preset time exceeds a first preset depth, and the accelerator pedaling depth within the preset time does not exceed a second preset depth, the driving condition is obtained as a congested driving condition.

[0065] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first speed threshold is 40 km / h, which means that when the speed of the vehicle is lower than 40 km / h, and the number of accelerator pedaling times exceeds 15 times (i.e., the first preset number of pedaling times) within a preset time (e.g., 60 seconds) and the accelerator pedaling depth exceeds 30% (i.e., the first preset depth), but does not exceed 60% (i.e., the second preset depth), the vehicle will be considered to be in a congested driving environment. Because if it is within these 60 seconds, it indicates that the driver is frequently adjusting the accelerator to respond to the actions of the vehicle ahead or the changes in traffic signals. Such frequent operations usually occur in urban roads with large traffic flow and dense vehicles or in areas with many traffic lights. For example, if a car is waiting for the green light to be released at a busy intersection, as the signal light changes color, the driver needs to react quickly, tap the accelerator to make the vehicle move slowly, and then stop again to wait for the next signal cycle. In this process, the driver may repeat such operations many times, resulting in the accelerator being frequently slightly stepped on and released. At this time, if the vehicle speed remains below 40 km / h for a long time and the accelerator pedaling behavior meets the above description, it can be determined that the vehicle is experiencing congested driving conditions.

[0066] Step S302, when the vehicle speed is greater than the second speed threshold, the number of accelerator pedaling times within the preset time is less than the second preset number of pedaling times, and the accelerator pedaling depth within the preset time exceeds the second preset depth, the driving condition is obtained as a smooth driving condition.

[0067] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the second speed threshold is 70 km / h, which means that when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 70 km / h, and the number of accelerator pedaling times within a preset time (e.g., 60 seconds) is less than 10 times (i.e., the second preset number of pedaling times) and the accelerator pedaling depth exceeds 60% (i.e., the second preset depth), it is further confirmed that the vehicle is driving steadily at a higher speed. Here, the accelerator depth of more than 60% is suitable for situations where a higher speed needs to be maintained, such as maintaining a cruising speed or overtaking acceleration on a highway. This depth of throttle input can ensure that the engine provides sufficient power output so that the vehicle can smoothly reach and maintain a higher speed level. When the above conditions are met, it indicates that the driver's operation is relatively small and the vehicle is in a relatively stable driving state. Usually, on a highway or a city expressway, when the traffic is smooth, the driver does not need to frequently adjust the throttle to respond to the actions of the vehicle ahead or changes in traffic signals. For example, a car is driving on a highway, and the speed of the vehicle is maintained at more than 70 km / h. The driver only needs to occasionally lightly step on the accelerator to make slight speed adjustments to adapt to changes in road slope or to overtake. Since the traffic conditions are good and there is no frequent start-stop demand, the number of times the accelerator is pressed during this period is very limited, and each time the accelerator is pressed is to maintain or increase a certain speed, rather than for frequent acceleration and deceleration operations. It can be determined that the vehicle is experiencing smooth driving conditions.

[0068] Step S303: when the driving condition is neither a congested condition nor a smooth condition, the driving condition is determined to be a normal driving condition.

[0069] It should be noted that when the driving condition does not meet the characteristics of congested driving nor the standards of smooth driving, it is usually defined as a normal driving condition. In this state, the vehicle's speed, accelerator pedaling frequency and depth are all in a relatively intermediate state, neither extremely low nor extremely high, reflecting the common traffic conditions on urban roads. For example, the vehicle travels in the speed range of 40 to 70 km / h. This speed range will not cause frequent starts and stops due to being too slow, nor will it reduce the number of accelerator operations due to being too fast. Under normal driving conditions, the driver's operation is relatively balanced, and the number of accelerator pedaling times is between congestion and smooth, such as 10-15 times per minute, which indicates that the vehicle is responding to general traffic flow changes, such as passing intersections, following the vehicle in front, or driving on urban roads during non-peak hours. At the same time, the accelerator pedaling depth will also be adjusted according to actual needs, fluctuating between 30% and 60%, ensuring that the vehicle has sufficient power response but does not cause unnecessary acceleration. Under this condition, the various systems of the vehicle still play an important role. For example, the smart cruise control system can automatically adjust the vehicle speed according to the set speed to help the driver maintain a safe distance, while the lane departure warning system can sound an alarm when the vehicle accidentally deviates from the lane to remind the driver to pay attention. For electric vehicles, the energy recovery system will continue to work under such conditions. Although it is not as frequent as in congestion conditions, it can still effectively recover some kinetic energy every time it slows down.

[0070] In addition, normal driving conditions also mean that the vehicle will encounter more dynamic changes, such as pedestrians crossing the road, bicycle lanes intersecting or temporary parking, so the driver is required to maintain higher attention and responsiveness. Nevertheless, due to the relatively stable traffic conditions, the risk of accidents is relatively low. With the continuous development of intelligent transportation systems, vehicles can better adapt to such regular driving scenarios and provide a more comfortable, safe and efficient travel experience.

[0071] This embodiment obtains that the driving condition is a congested driving condition when the vehicle speed is less than a first speed threshold, the number of accelerator pedaling times within a preset time is greater than a first preset pedaling time, the accelerator pedaling depth within a preset time exceeds a first preset depth, and the accelerator pedaling depth within a preset time does not exceed a second preset depth, and the driving condition is a smooth driving condition when the vehicle speed is greater than a second speed threshold, the number of accelerator pedaling times within a preset time is less than a first preset pedaling time, the number of accelerator pedaling times within a preset time is less than a second preset pedaling time, and the accelerator pedaling depth within a preset time exceeds a second preset depth, and the driving condition is a normal driving condition when the driving condition is neither a congested condition nor a smooth condition. Congested, smooth, and normal driving conditions are distinguished based on vehicle speed, accelerator pedaling frequency, and depth, and accurate judgment is achieved by setting specific thresholds, thereby enhancing the driving experience.

[0072] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 3 The driving mode switching method based on driver behavior step S40 also includes steps S401 to S403:

[0073] Step S401, when the driving condition is a congested driving condition, switch the vehicle driving mode to an economic mode.

[0074] It should be noted that the economy mode optimizes fuel efficiency by adjusting the parameters of the engine, transmission and other systems. For example, in economy mode, the throttle response will become slower, which means that even if the driver presses the same accelerator pedal depth, the actual command transmitted to the engine will be gentler, thereby avoiding unnecessary acceleration and deceleration. In addition, the gearbox shifting logic will also change accordingly, tending to shift up earlier to maintain a lower engine speed and reduce unnecessary fuel injection. For vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop function, the economy mode will usually strengthen this feature, automatically shutting down the engine while waiting for a red light or traffic stagnation, and quickly restarting it when needed, further saving fuel. At the same time, the power of the air conditioning system will also be reduced to ensure that more energy is used to drive the vehicle rather than auxiliary equipment.

[0075] Step S402, when the driving condition is a smooth driving condition, switch the vehicle driving mode to a sports mode.

[0076] It should be noted that when the driving condition is a smooth driving condition, switching the vehicle driving mode to the sports mode can significantly improve the driving experience. Under such road conditions, there is less traffic flow and good road conditions, allowing the vehicle to drive smoothly at a higher speed. At this time, enabling the sports mode can make the vehicle's power response faster and more direct, providing a more aggressive driving experience. In the sports mode, the working logic of the engine and the gearbox will undergo a series of changes. First, the throttle response becomes more sensitive, and even a slight step can get a stronger sense of acceleration. Secondly, the gearbox will delay the shift timing to keep the engine in a higher speed range, thereby instantly outputting greater torque and enhancing the vehicle's power performance. This setting not only makes overtaking easy, but also brings a more fun driving experience, especially in scenes such as winding mountain roads or highways. In addition, many vehicles will also adjust the hardness of the suspension system in the sports mode to provide better body support, reduce roll, and ensure higher handling stability. At the same time, the steering system will become heavier, giving the driver clearer road feedback, making each turn more precise.

[0077] Step S403: when the driving condition is a normal driving state, maintain the current vehicle driving mode.

[0078] It should be noted that when the driving condition is normal, maintaining the current vehicle driving mode is a wise choice to ensure driving efficiency and comfort. Normal driving conditions usually refer to road conditions that are neither extremely congested nor completely unobstructed. In this case, the road conditions are relatively stable and the traffic flow is moderate. In this state, maintaining the existing driving mode can avoid the discomfort caused by frequent switching, while keeping the various performance parameters of the vehicle in a relatively balanced state to meet most daily driving needs. Under normal driving conditions, the vehicle's economic mode or sports mode can be set according to the driver's habits and preferences. If a mode suitable for the current road conditions and personal preferences has been selected, there is no need to change it. For example, in economic mode, the vehicle improves fuel efficiency by optimizing the amount of fuel injection and reducing the power output reaction rate; the sports mode emphasizes strong power response and higher engine speed, which is suitable for the pursuit of driving pleasure; the comfort mode is a compromise between the two, providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience. For modern cars equipped with intelligent driving assistance systems, maintaining the current driving mode can also make these systems work better.
