[0002] The A-pillar blind area refers to the blind area of vision during the driving of an automobile. Generally, there are three upright columns on each side of a car body. The inclined columns on both sides of the front windshield are called A-pillars, that is, the left and right A-pillars.

[0070] X Y Z Point Pm 43.36 0 627

[0071] Reference table

[0072] Among them, in the reference table, the Pm point is the correction point.

[0073] Seat horizontal adjustment stroke ΔX 108~120 -13 121~132 -22 133~145 -32 146~158 -42 Above 158 -48

[0077] Second correction table. Wherein, in the second correction table, ΔX is the X-axis increment and ΔZ is the Z-axis increment.

[0078] It should be noted that each coordinate information in the blind spot correction table is obtained through actual tests. Although the coordinate information of the correction points can be queried and calculated from the blind spot correction table, in the actual test process, it is obtained as follows: Obtain the position points of the driver's eyes when turning the head to observe the left A-pillar and the right A-pillar respectively in the standard driving sitting posture, and set them as point P1 and point P2. Construct a longitudinal vertical plane passing through point R and bisecting the human body, and obtain the intersection points of the longitudinal vertical plane and the line connecting point P1 and point P2. The obtained intersection points are the correction points. The coordinate information of point P1 and point P2 is based on point R as the reference coordinate point, and the coordinate information in the embodiments of the present invention is based on point R as the reference coordinate point, that is, the three-dimensional coordinates of point R are set as (0, 0, 0).

[0079] S102, respectively construct a first plane and a second plane in front of the vehicle with the horizontal plane passing through the correction point as the reference plane. The first plane is a plane passing through the correction point and making a positive first preset angle with the reference plane, and the second plane is a plane passing through the correction point and making a negative second preset angle with the reference plane.

[0080] Wherein, the first preset angle can preferably be 2 degrees, and the second preset angle can preferably be 5 degrees.

[0081] S103, extract the outer contour surface of any A-pillar structure of the target vehicle, and construct outer tangent planes passing through the correction point and tangent to both sides of the outer contour surface of the A-pillar structure, denoted as the third plane and the fourth plane.

[0082] S104, construct a spherical surface with the correction point as the center of the sphere and r as the radius, and form an enclosed area with the first plane, the second plane, the third plane and the fourth plane, and obtain the maximum width of the enclosed area, where r is the distance of the zebra crossing at the traffic light intersection defined by law.

[0083] Wherein, r can preferably be 12m.

[0084] S105, compare and analyze the maximum width of the enclosed area with a preset width, and evaluate the A-pillar of the target vehicle according to the analysis result.

[0085] Further, the step of comparing the maximum width of the enclosed area with a preset width and evaluating the A-pillar of the target vehicle according to the analysis result specifically includes:

[0086] Compare and analyze the maximum width of the enclosed area with the preset width;

[0087] If the difference between the maximum width of the enclosed area and the preset width exceeds the width threshold, it is determined that the A-pillar blind area of the target vehicle in the preset seat state does not meet the requirements.

[0088] It should be noted that the preset width can be the maximum width of the enclosed area of a competing vehicle model. The width threshold is preferably 200 mm. The maximum width of the enclosed area of the target vehicle is compared with the maximum width of the enclosed area of the competing vehicle model to obtain the difference. If the difference is greater than 200 mm, it means that the size of the A-pillar blind area of the target vehicle has reached a level that can be significantly perceived by the customer.

[0089] The maximum width of the enclosed area of the target vehicle should be appropriate. If it is too small, the body strength will be insufficient; if it is too large, it will affect the driver's vision. If the A-pillar blind area of the target vehicle meets the requirements, select the A-pillar structure with a larger maximum width of the enclosed area, which can not only ensure that the A-pillar structure does not affect the driver's vision but also ensure the body strength.

[0090] In summary, the evaluation method for the A-pillar blind area of an automobile provided by the present invention has the beneficial effects that: the present invention corrects the left and right A-pillar blind spots of the target vehicle in the preset seat state according to the blind spot correction table to obtain the position information of the correction points; respectively construct a first plane and a second plane in front of the vehicle with the horizontal plane passing through the correction points as the reference plane. The first plane is a plane passing through the correction point and forming a positive first preset angle with the reference plane, and the second plane is a plane passing through the correction point and forming a negative second preset angle with the reference plane; extract the outer contour surface of any A-pillar structure of the target vehicle, and construct outer tangent planes passing through the correction point and tangent to both sides of the outer contour surface of the A-pillar structure, denoted as the third plane and the fourth plane; construct a spherical surface with the correction point as the center of the sphere and r as the radius, and form an enclosed area with the first plane, the second plane, the third plane, and the fourth plane, and obtain the maximum width of the enclosed area, where r is the distance of the zebra crossing at a traffic light intersection defined by regulations; compare and analyze the maximum width of the enclosed area with the preset width and evaluate the A-pillar of the target vehicle according to the analysis result. The evaluation method for the A-pillar blind area of the automobile of the present invention first corrects the blind spots to obtain comprehensive correction points. The obtained correction points can well check the obstacle areas and the maximum obstacle widths of any left and right A-pillars, and can actually and intuitively reflect the influence of the left and right A-pillars on the driver's actual vision after comparing and analyzing with the preset width.
