[0062] In this embodiment, there are two cameras 11, which are respectively installed inside the windshield of the moving vehicle and the rear bumper of the moving vehicle; there are four laser radars 12, which are respectively installed on the front bumper, rear bumper, left side area and right side area of ​​the moving vehicle; there are four millimeter wave radars 13, which are respectively installed above the four laser radars 12. In this embodiment, the camera 11, the laser radar 12 and the millimeter wave radar 13 are respectively arranged at different positions to avoid the influence of each other in the collection process, thereby improving the collection efficiency of environmental data.

[0063] In this embodiment, the steering angle sensor 21 is used to collect the steering angle of the front axle of the moving vehicle; the wheel speed sensor 22 is used to collect the left front wheel speed and the right front wheel speed of the moving vehicle; the tire temperature and tire pressure sensor 23 is used to collect the tire temperature and tire pressure of the moving vehicle; the vehicle state sensor 24 is used to collect at least one of the vehicle speed, engine speed and water temperature of the moving vehicle.

[0064] In this embodiment, the priority determination component 31 is connected in communication with the safe operation value determination component 32, and is used to determine the priority of the environmental data according to the pre-configured preset mode priority rule and the preset content priority rule, and to determine the priority of the driving data according to the pre-configured preset safety priority rule and the preset data priority rule; and send the priority of the environmental data and the priority of the driving data to the safe operation value determination component 32; the safe operation value determination component 32 is connected in communication with the running state determination component 33, and is used to determine the safe operation value of the driving vehicle according to the priority of the environmental data and the priority of the driving data; and send the safe operation value of the driving vehicle to the running state determination component 33; the running state determination component 33 is used to determine the current running state of the driving vehicle according to the safe operation value. Among them, the preset mode priority rule and the preset content priority rule are pre-configured in the decision unit 3; the preset mode priority rule is that the priority levels of the camera, laser radar and millimeter wave radar are reduced in sequence; the preset content priority rule is that the priority levels of human and vehicle information, obstacle information and road fence signs are reduced in sequence. The preset mode priority rules and the preset content priority rules are priority rules of different dimensions. The environmental data is classified according to the rules of different dimensions to obtain the classification results of the rules of different dimensions to determine the priority of the driving data; the preset safety priority rules can be priority division according to the importance of the built-in components of the driving vehicle.

[0065] The safe operation value of the driving vehicle is the detection value of the running state of the driving vehicle. When the decision unit 3 detects that the detection value exceeds the detection value threshold, the running state of the driving vehicle needs to be adjusted to ensure the driving safety of the driving vehicle. This embodiment combines multiple acquisition units and multiple sensors to judge and update the current running state in the unmanned vehicle in real time, realizes the effective integration of internal and external information of the vehicle, so as to protect the driving vehicle safely, and improves the safety and logic of the system.

[0066] In this embodiment, the priority determination component 31 is specifically used for:

[0067] Classify the environmental data according to the pre-configured preset mode priority rules and preset content priority rules respectively, and obtain the mode priority classification results and content priority classification results; and determine the priority of the environmental data according to the mode priority classification results and the content priority classification results; classify the driving data according to the pre-configured preset safety priority rules and preset data priority rules respectively, and obtain the safety priority classification results and the pre-data priority classification results; and determine the priority of the driving data according to the safety priority classification results and the pre-data priority classification results. Among them, the priority of the environmental data can be determined according to the multiplication value of the mode priority classification results and the content priority classification results; determining the priority of the environmental data according to the multiplication value of the mode priority classification results and the content priority classification results may include: extracting the minimum multiplication value from the multiplication value of the detection mode priority classification results and the content priority classification results, and detecting whether the multiplication value is unique; if so, using the multiplication value as the priority of the environmental data; if not, determining the priority of the environmental data based on the priority of the detection mode priority classification results and the content priority classification results; it should be noted that in this embodiment, the smaller the multiplication value of the classification results is, the higher the priority is. This embodiment determines the priority of data through classification results of different dimensional priorities, which can effectively avoid the problem of errors in determining priority based on a single classification result, thereby improving the efficiency of determining data priority.

[0068] In this embodiment, the brightness value acquisition unit 5 is connected to the rule adjustment unit 6 for acquiring the light brightness value of the driving vehicle during operation and sending the light brightness value to the rule adjustment unit 6; the rule adjustment unit 6 is used to adjust the preset mode priority rule according to the light brightness value, obtain the adjusted preset mode priority rule, and send the adjusted preset mode priority rule to the priority determination component 31. Among them, since the environmental data acquisition unit 1 for collecting environmental data will bring a certain acquisition error based on the light in the driving environment; illustratively, in an environment with insufficient light, the data acquisition efficiency of the millimeter wave radar 13 is high, and the data acquisition efficiency of the camera 11 and the laser radar 12 is low; in an environment with sufficient light, the data acquisition efficiency of the camera 11 and the laser radar 12 is high, but the data acquisition efficiency of the millimeter wave radar 13 is low. In order to avoid the judgment accuracy of the driving environment on the vehicle state, it is necessary to adjust the preset mode priority rule in real time according to the light brightness value of the driving environment. Taking the light brightness value lower than the brightness value threshold as an example, the preset mode priority rule (for example, camera> laser radar> millimeter wave radar) is adjusted to obtain the adjusted preset mode priority rule (for example, millimeter wave radar> camera> laser radar). This embodiment collects light brightness values ​​during driving to adjust the preset mode priority rules, which can improve the accuracy of the running status of the driving vehicle.

This embodiment combines multiple acquisition units and multiple sensors to judge and update the current running state in the unmanned vehicle in real time, realizes the effective integration of internal and external information of the vehicle, so as to protect the driving vehicle safely, and improves the safety and logic of the system.

[0092] Based on the above embodiment, optionally, the method of this embodiment further includes:

[0093] Obtain the light brightness value of the moving vehicle during operation;

[0094] According to the light brightness value, the preset mode priority rule is adjusted to obtain the adjusted preset mode priority rule.

[0095] In this embodiment, the data acquisition unit that collects environmental data will bring certain acquisition errors based on the light in the driving environment; illustratively, in an environment with insufficient light, the data acquisition efficiency of the millimeter-wave radar is higher, and the data acquisition efficiency of the camera and the laser radar is lower; in an environment with sufficient light, the data acquisition efficiency of the camera and the laser radar is higher, but the data acquisition efficiency of the millimeter-wave radar is lower. In order to avoid the driving environment from affecting the judgment accuracy of the vehicle state, it is necessary to adjust the preset mode priority rules in real time according to the light brightness value of the driving environment. Taking the light brightness value being lower than the brightness value threshold as an example, the preset mode priority rules (for example, camera>laser radar>millimeter-wave radar) are adjusted to obtain the adjusted preset mode priority rules (for example, millimeter-wave radar>camera>laser radar). This embodiment collects the light brightness value during driving to adjust the preset mode priority rules, which can improve the accuracy of the running state of the driving vehicle.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
