Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of adaptive lighting collaborative control of intelligent connected vehicles, and in particular to a method and system for dual-zone collaborative control of ADB headlights based on the Internet of Vehicles. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of intelligent connected vehicle technology, the safety and intelligence level of vehicles are constantly improving. As an important part of improving nighttime driving safety, the intelligent lighting system is evolving towards self-adaptation and intelligence. The national and industry levels are also actively promoting the construction of relevant standard systems for intelligent connected vehicles, and encouraging the development of vehicle-road collaboration and multi-vehicle collaborative control technology to build a safer and more efficient traffic environment.

[0003] However, the existing ADB system mainly relies on single-vehicle sensors for environmental perception. Due to the limitations of the detection distance and angle of cameras and radars, its perception range is usually concentrated in a limited area in front of the vehicle, making it difficult to effectively obtain real-time status information of multiple vehicles in front, vehicles far away on the curve, or vehicles crossing from the side. In complex traffic scenarios, such as high-speed intersections at night, multi-lane parallel driving, or tunnel exits, this perception limitation can easily lead to inaccurate division of the headlight control area, resulting in problems such as high beams mistakenly illuminating oncoming vehicles or failure to enhance the lighting area in time, posing a safety hazard. In addition, the lack of an information sharing mechanism between vehicles also makes the lighting control of each vehicle independent of each other, unable to form collaborative optimization, further exacerbating the existence of control blind spots. That is, the detection range of a single vehicle's sensor is limited, and it is unable to obtain the real-time status of the vehicle in front or adjacent, resulting in blind spots in headlight control. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides an ADB dual-zone coordinated control method for vehicle lights based on the Internet of Vehicles, including:

[0064] S1: Establish an information fusion mechanism for the Internet of Vehicles to obtain vehicle information outside the detection range of vehicle A, and fuse the obtained vehicle information with the data collected by vehicle A's equipment to form an environmental perception data set. Vehicle A refers to this vehicle.

[0065] The establishment of an IoV information fusion mechanism includes deploying IoV communication coordination nodes. The communication coordination nodes include integrating a dual-channel communication mechanism into the communication module of vehicle A. The integrated dual-channel communication mechanism includes receiving information from surrounding vehicles and obtaining information about traffic conditions along the road.

[0066] The data collected by the equipment on vehicle A includes a sensor array set up at the end of vehicle A, and the multi-modal data collection of vehicle A is completed through the vehicle control unit;

[0067] The sensor array is used to extract features from the multimodal data of vehicle A, and a lightweight deep neural network is used to identify the extracted features.

[0068] The received surrounding vehicle information and the acquired traffic situation along the road are mapped uniformly with the multimodal data of vehicle A after identification into a shared space. The shared space includes spatial and temporal dimensions.

[0069] By establishing a local coordinate system in the spatial dimension with vehicle A as the origin and a time reference in the temporal dimension, the surrounding vehicle information and the acquired traffic situation along the road are aligned with the multimodal data of vehicle A after identification in the spatial and temporal dimensions to complete data fusion.

[0070] S1.1: Lightweight deep neural network includes a lightweight recognition network with dynamic channels to dynamically adjust multimodal data based on data fusion.

[0071] Dynamic adjustment includes introducing an environmental perception feedback module into the lightweight recognition network to receive the operating status of vehicle A.

[0072] According to the dynamic adjustment factor of the multimodal data output by the introduced environmental perception feedback module, the dynamic adjustment factor refers to the channel selection controller introduced into the environmental perception feedback module, which dynamically activates or closes the feature channels of each layer to complete dynamic adjustment of the multimodal data.

[0073] Feature extraction of the multimodal data of vehicle A includes assigning priority weights to the multimodal data in a dynamic adjustment stage, and the weights are adaptively adjusted according to the current driving scene of vehicle A.

[0074] During the feature extraction process, priority weights are used to control the activation or shutdown ratio of feature channels at each layer and calculate the differences in multimodal data.

[0075] Based on the differences in multimodal data, a path that matches the current priority weight is dynamically selected, the operating status of vehicle A is identified, and the feedback is sent to the communication module of vehicle A, so that vehicle A can control the activation or deactivation of feature channels at each layer based on the priority weight.

[0076] When the priority weight control feature channels of each layer are activated, the adaptive adjustment of the driving scene of vehicle A is started; otherwise, when the priority weight control feature channels of each layer are closed, the adaptive adjustment of the driving scene of vehicle A is closed.

[0077] Furthermore, a dynamic adjustment factor controls the activation or deactivation ratio of feature channels at each layer in the lightweight neural network through a channel selection controller. Specifically, assume that the multimodal data includes four modalities: image, radar, infrared, and lidar. Each modality is assigned a different priority weight in different driving scenarios. For example, in low-light conditions at night, the infrared modality weight is set to 0.5, the image modality weight is reduced to 0.2, and the radar and lidar weights are set to 0.2 and 0.1, respectively. Based on this weight distribution, the channel selection controller activates the corresponding feature channels of each modality proportionally, for example, infrared modality accounts for 50% of the total number of channels, image modality accounts for 20%, radar accounts for 20%, and lidar accounts for 10%. The controller adjusts this ratio in real time based on the current operating state of vehicle A (such as speed, steering angle, and light intensity) to ensure that high-priority modalities receive a higher share of computing resources, achieving dynamic optimization and efficient resource utilization of multimodal data processing. The dynamic adjustment factor for multimodal data is output by the introduced environmental perception feedback module. The dynamic adjustment factor refers to the channel selection controller introduced into the environmental perception feedback module, which dynamically activates or deactivates feature channels at each layer to achieve dynamic adjustment of the multimodal data.

[0078] When the characteristic channels of each layer are closed, the dual-zone collaborative control is closed. When the characteristic channels of each layer are activated, the dual-zone collaborative control is opened.

[0079] The priority weights and feature channel activation ratios of multimodal sensors in different driving scenarios are shown in Table 1 below:

[0080] Table 1 Priority weights and feature channel activation ratios of multimodal sensors in different driving scenarios Sensor modality Night low-light scene weight Image clarity scene weight Radar-dominated scenario weight Night low-light scene channel activation ratio Channel activation ratio in clear image scenes Radar-dominated scenario channel activation ratio Image (camera) 0.2 0.6 0.1 20% 60% 10% radar 0.2 0.1 0.5 20% 10% 50% infrared 0.5 0.2 0.1 50% 20% 10% LiDAR 0.1 0.1 0.3 10% 10% 30%

[0081] Table 1 shows the priority weights of each sensor modality and the corresponding feature channel activation ratio distribution under different driving scenarios, reflecting the resource allocation strategy for dynamic scheduling of multimodal data.

[0082] S1.2: The formula for calculating the difference of multimodal data is:

[0083] in, Indicates modality The proportion of channels activated or closed that should be allocated in this layer, Indicates the The real-time priority weight of the modalities, represents the total number of modes of multimodal data, Indicates the The priority weight of the modalities, Indicates the index number of the modal.

[0084] The environmental perception dataset includes generating the perception feature dimensions of car A based on the differences in multimodal data, and constructing a spatiotemporal alignment coordinate framework with car A as the origin. The spatiotemporal alignment coordinate framework refers to establishing a local coordinate system in the spatial dimension with car A as the origin, and a time reference in the time dimension.

[0085] Use the local coordinate system with car A as the origin , the time benchmark of the time dimension , calculate and obtain the local perception data set, the specific formula is:

[0086] in, Indicates the The spatial coordinates of the perceived target, represents the feature vector, Indicates the timestamp of local perception data, Represents a collection of local sensing data.

[0087] The remote information obtained with vehicle A as the origin is uniformly mapped to form a remote environment perception data set. The formula for the remote environment perception data set is:

[0088] in, represents a remote environment perception data set, Indicates the The spatial position coordinate vector of the perception target, Indicates the The feature vector of the perceived target, Indicates the timestamp of remote sensing information.

[0089] Local perception data collection and remote environmental perception data collection Processing is performed to construct a set with nodes as perception targets and edges as spatial relationships, and the fused environment perception dataset is output.

[0090] The formula for constructing a set where nodes are perception targets and edges are spatial relationships is:

[0091] in, represents the perception target, and the edges are the set of spatial relations. Represents a collection of nodes, Represents a set of edges.

[0092] The formula for the environmental perception dataset is:

[0093] in, Indicates the The fusion environment feature vector of each target, Represents a node, Indicates the The timestamp of the edge, Represents the environment perception dataset.

[0094] S2: Based on the fused environmental perception dataset, the road is divided and differentiated lighting control strategies are implemented based on the divided areas. The differentiated lighting control strategy refers to the lighting control rules corresponding to the set ADB (Adaptive Bus Driver), where ADB stands for Adaptive Lighting.

[0095] Among them, dividing the road includes dividing the environmental perception data set into logical areas, and logical area division includes performing semantic clustering analysis on the fusion environmental feature vector of each target in the environmental perception data set and dividing it into several semantic categories, combining the node Mapped to the corresponding sector ring grid.

[0096] The area types of the fan-ring grid include main lighting area, avoidance area, transition area and blind spot prediction area.

[0097] Setting the lighting control rules corresponding to ADB includes prioritizing several semantic categories and combining the area types to generate a control mechanism that matches the ADB headlight executable instruction set.

[0098] The control mechanism includes the following steps:

[0099] For the main lighting area, a high-brightness full coverage strategy is adopted, and the high-beam main beam module of the ADB light is enabled;

[0100] For the avoidance zone, a local mask is dynamically generated based on the relative position and motion state of the perceived target in the zone, and the LED pixel units in the corresponding direction are turned off or modulated;

[0101] For the transition zone, a brightness gradient control strategy is adopted to gradually adjust the light intensity distribution through a time sliding window mechanism;

[0102] For blind spot prediction areas, a low-intensity pre-scanning strategy is activated in advance based on communication delay and target motion prediction.

[0103] S3: Based on the lighting control rules and the divided road areas, the on-board control unit operates collaboratively to calculate and obtain the lighting control rule algorithm for vehicle A. Based on the lighting control rule algorithm, the real-time status information of vehicle A and vehicles other than vehicle A is obtained again, the road division areas are determined, and the dual-zone coordinated control of ADB headlights is completed.

[0104] Among them, collaborative operation in the on-board control unit includes deploying an area control rule mapping table in the on-board control unit, mapping the main lighting area, avoidance area, transition area and blind spot prediction area with the corresponding ADB headlight control instruction parameters, including light intensity coefficient, occlusion mask generation function, beam deflection angle function and pre-scanning light activation conditions.

[0105] Use the vehicle control unit to perceive the current environment dataset After analysis, combined with the divided road area types and the control rule mapping table, the ADB headlight control instruction set for the current frame is calculated as follows:

[0106] in, Represents the initial control instruction set, Represents a single control instruction.

[0107] S3.1: Determining the road division area includes sending collaborative control requests to surrounding vehicles through vehicle A communication based on the ADB headlight control instruction set, receiving their current ADB lighting control status information, spatially mapping and logically verifying the received external vehicle control information with the area division result of the vehicle itself, and identifying whether there is an area division conflict or a conflict between vehicle A and vehicles other than vehicle A.

[0108] During the ADB dual-zone collaborative control of the vehicle network, the conflict between vehicle A and vehicles other than vehicle A and the conflict in area division are judged.

[0109] In a preferred embodiment, the ADB dual-zone coordinated control system for vehicle lights based on the Internet of Vehicles includes:

[0110] S310: IoV information fusion mechanism module, which establishes an IoV information fusion mechanism to obtain vehicle information outside the detection range of vehicle A and fuses the obtained vehicle information with data collected by vehicle A's equipment to form an environmental perception data set. Vehicle A refers to the vehicle itself.

[0111] S320: A road segmentation module divides the road into areas based on the fused environmental perception dataset and executes a differentiated lighting control strategy based on the divided areas. The differentiated lighting control strategy refers to lighting control rules corresponding to the set ADB (Adaptive Driver Assistance) system (ADB).

[0112] S330: Dual-zone collaborative control module, which operates collaboratively in the vehicle control unit based on the lighting control rules and the road division areas, calculates and obtains the lighting control rule algorithm of vehicle A, obtains the real-time status information of vehicle A and vehicles other than vehicle A based on the lighting control rule algorithm, determines the road division areas, and completes the ADB headlight dual-zone collaborative control.

The processor of the computer device is used to provide computing and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device comprises a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and a computer program. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and the computer program in the non-volatile storage medium.

[0116] Example 2

[0117] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides an ADB headlight dual-zone collaborative control method based on the Internet of Vehicles. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through simulation experiments.

[0118] In a nighttime highway driving scenario, Car A (the vehicle itself) travels at 80 km / h on a winding road with low visibility. Car A's lightweight deep neural network integrates environmental perception based on data collected by onboard sensors (camera, millimeter-wave radar, infrared imager, lidar) and status information obtained through vehicle-to-vehicle communication regarding the two vehicles ahead (Cars B and C). (Car B is 120 meters ahead of Car A and traveling at 70 km / h; Car C is an oncoming vehicle, 180 meters away from Car A and traveling at 90 km / h).

[0119] The system sets the modal priority weights based on the current low-light environment at night: infrared 0.5, radar 0.2, image 0.2, and lidar 0.1, activates the corresponding channel ratios (infrared 50%, radar 20%, image 20%, lidar 10%), and completes multimodal feature extraction and recognition. Subsequently, based on the fused environmental perception dataset, the system divides the road ahead into four areas: the main lighting area (car-free area), the avoidance area (towards car C), the transition area (behind car B), and the blind spot prediction area (in front of the curve).

[0120] In terms of control strategy, the system activates a high-brightness high-beam main beam in the main lighting zone, achieving an illumination of 120 lx. A dynamic mask is generated for the avoidance zone, disabling LED pixels in the corresponding direction to prevent glare for the driver of vehicle C. A time sliding window mechanism is used in the transition zone, gradually reducing the light intensity to 60 lx. A low-intensity pre-scan light (30 lx) is pre-activated in the blind spot prediction zone to detect potential risks. Simultaneously, vehicle A receives the ADB control strategies of vehicles B and C via V2V communication. After identifying the direction of vehicle C's avoidance zone, it further optimizes the light shielding area of ​​its own vehicle, completing dual-zone coordinated control. A comparison of the present invention with the prior art is shown in Table 2 below:
