[0019] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0020] The acquisition, storage, and application of user personal information involved in this technical solution comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, necessary confidentiality measures have been taken, and it does not violate public order and good morals.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture 100 is shown, in which embodiments of the vehicle information processing method or vehicle information processing apparatus of the present disclosure can be applied.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, system architecture 100 may include terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, a network 104, and a server 105. Network 104 serves as the medium for providing communication links between terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 and server 105. Network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, etc.

[0024] Users can use terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 to interact with server 105 via network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications can be installed on terminal devices 101, 102, and 103, such as video applications, live streaming applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social media platform software, etc.

[0025] The terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 here can be either hardware or software. When terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 are hardware, they can be various electronic devices with displays, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, e-book readers, laptops, and desktop computers. When terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 are software, they can be installed in the electronic devices listed above. They can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., multiple software programs or software modules used to provide distributed services) or as a single software program or software module. No specific limitations are imposed here.

The backend server can analyze and process data such as the received electrical energy information under the road surface scenario and the electrical energy information under the simulated road condition scenario, and feed back the processing results (such as the variable load resistance value under the simulated road condition scenario) to the terminal devices.

[0027] It should be noted that the vehicle information processing method provided in this embodiment can be executed by server 105 or terminal devices 101, 102, 103. Accordingly, the vehicle information processing device can be set in server 105 or terminal devices 101, 102, 103.

[0028] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers can be included.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a flow 200 of an embodiment of a vehicle information processing method according to the present disclosure. The vehicle information processing method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step 201: Obtain the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in the road scene, determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information, and take the average power as the first average power.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vehicle information processing method runs on an execution entity (e.g., Figure 1 The server or terminal device shown can acquire the electrical energy information of the tested vehicle in a road scenario and determine the average power corresponding to that electrical energy information. In practice, the aforementioned executing entity can directly acquire the electrical energy information from its own device or other electronic devices, or the aforementioned executing entity can collect that electrical energy information.

[0032] The vehicle under test can be tested in a road-based scenario, i.e., a road test. The vehicle's electrical energy information can be any information that reflects electrical energy, such as electrical energy (E).

[0033] In practice, the aforementioned executing entity can determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information in various ways. For example, when the electrical energy information is electrical energy, the executing entity can divide the electrical energy by time to obtain the average power.

[0034] The vehicle in this application can be any type of vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle.

[0035] It should be noted that the average power in this application can be the power of the tested vehicle under a low-voltage system.

[0036] Step 202: Obtain the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario, determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information, and use the average power as the second average power.

[0037] In this embodiment, the aforementioned execution entity can acquire the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario and determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information. In practice, the aforementioned execution entity can directly acquire the electrical energy information from its own device or other electronic devices, or the aforementioned execution entity can collect the electrical energy information.

[0038] In practice, simulated road conditions refer to simulated driving scenarios where vehicles are tested using road condition simulation devices such as dynamometers. This dynamometer could be, for example, a chassis dynamometer.

[0039] Step 203: Determine the variable load reference resistance of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario based on the average power difference between the first average power and the second average power.

[0040] In this embodiment, the execution entity can determine the difference between the first average power and the second average power, which is the average power difference. Then, the execution entity can determine the variable load reference resistance value based on the average power difference. The variable load resistance value refers to the additional resistance value added to the vehicle under test because the energy consumed by the vehicle under test in simulated road conditions is less than the energy consumed on actual road surfaces, so that the vehicle under test can achieve the same energy consumption in simulated road conditions as in actual road conditions.

[0041] The aforementioned executing entity can determine the variable load reference resistance of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario using various methods, based on the average power difference between the first average power and the second average power. For example, the executing entity can input the average power difference into a preset model and obtain the variable load reference resistance output from the model. This preset model can then use the average power difference to predict the aforementioned variable load reference resistance.

[0042] Step 204: Determine the variable load resistance of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario based on the variable load reference resistance value.

[0043] In this embodiment, the aforementioned execution entity can determine the variable load resistance of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario based on the variable load reference resistance value using various methods. For example, the execution entity can directly determine the variable load reference resistance value as the variable load resistance value of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario. Alternatively, the execution entity can input the variable load reference resistance value into a specified model or formula, obtain the result output from the specified model or formula, and use this result as the variable load resistance value of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario.

[0044] The method provided by the above embodiments of this disclosure can accurately determine the variable load under simulated road conditions using actual data of the vehicle in road scenarios. This allows the tested vehicle to shorten or even eliminate the gap between simulated road conditions and actual road tests by using variable loads. Furthermore, by determining the average power, this application avoids "glitch" or signal abrupt changes in the collected signal, thereby enabling more accurate determination of the variable load resistance value.

[0045] In some optional implementations of any embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: determining whether the average power difference exceeds a power allowable threshold; and outputting an alarm message in response to the average power difference exceeding the power allowable threshold.

[0046] In these optional implementations, the aforementioned execution entity can determine whether the average power difference exceeds a power tolerance threshold. If the average power difference exceeds the power tolerance threshold, the execution entity can issue an alarm, i.e., output alarm information. If the average power difference does not exceed the power tolerance threshold, the execution entity may not output alarm information. The output alarm information can be a displayed alarm or an alarm message sent to other electronic devices. The power tolerance threshold is a threshold set for the average power difference.

[0047] These methods can achieve accurate alarms by comparing average power differences rather than real-time data, thus avoiding "glitch" or signal abrupt changes in the collected signals.

[0048] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the vehicle information processing method according to this embodiment. Figure 3 In the application scenario, the execution entity 301 can determine the first average power P 302 corresponding to the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a road surface scenario. The execution entity 301 can determine the second average power P1 303 corresponding to the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario. The execution entity can determine the variable load reference resistance 305 of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario based on the average power difference P2 = P - P1 304 between the first average power and the second average power. Finally, the execution entity 301 can determine the variable load resistance 306 of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario based on the variable load reference resistance 305.

[0049] Further reference Figure 4 This illustrates a process 400 of another embodiment of a method for processing vehicle information. Process 400 includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 401: Obtain the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in the road scene. Within a preset time period, integrate the product of voltage and current in the electrical energy information to obtain the output electrical energy of the DC-DC converter of the vehicle under test within the preset time period.

[0051] In this embodiment, the electrical energy information includes the voltage and current at the output of the DC-DC converter of the vehicle under test, where DC-DC refers to a direct current converter. The vehicle information processing method runs on an execution unit (e.g., Figure 1 The server or terminal device shown can acquire the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a road scenario, and integrate the product of the voltage and current in the electrical energy information within a preset time period. The result of the integration is used as the output electrical energy of the DC-DC converter of the vehicle under test in a road scenario within a preset time period.

[0052] Specifically, the DC-DC converter of the tested vehicle outputs electrical energy E for a preset duration. DCDCout It can be represented as:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, E DCDCout The unit is Wh, t0 is the test start time in seconds, t is the current time in seconds, and U DCDCout The voltage mentioned above is generally taken as the battery voltage, in units of V and I. DCDCout The current is given above, in amperes (A). The time interval from t0 to t is the preset duration.

[0055] Step 402: Based on the output power, determine the average power of the DC-DC output terminal of the tested vehicle in the road scenario within a preset time period, and use the average power as the first average power.

[0056] In this embodiment, the aforementioned execution entity can determine the average power of the DC-DC output terminal of the tested vehicle under road conditions within a preset time period based on the output electrical energy. The execution entity can use various methods to determine the average power of the DC-DC output terminal of the tested vehicle under road conditions within a preset time period based on the output electrical energy. For example, the execution entity can input the output electrical energy into a specified model to obtain the output of the specified model, which is the average power. The specified model can use the output electrical energy to output the average power. Alternatively, the execution entity can determine the average power P using the following formula. DCDCout :

[0057] P DCDCout =E DCDCout / T

[0058] Among them, P DCDCoutThe average power output of the DC-DC converter of the tested vehicle in a road scenario is expressed in watts (W). T represents the total test duration (from the start of the test to the present time) in hours (h). This T is the preset duration mentioned above.

[0059] Step 403: Obtain the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario. Integrate the product of voltage and current in the electrical energy information within a preset time period to obtain the output electrical energy of the DC-DC converter of the vehicle under test within the preset time period.

[0060] In this embodiment, the aforementioned execution entity can acquire electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario, and obtain the output electrical energy in the simulated road condition scenario using the same or similar method as step 401.

[0061] Step 404: Based on the output power in step 403, determine the average power of the DC-DC output terminal of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario within a preset time period, and use this average power as the second average power.

[0062] In this embodiment, the execution entity adopts the same or similar method as step 402 to determine the average power, and uses the average power as the average power of the DCDC output terminal of the tested vehicle in the simulated road condition scenario within a preset time period, which is also the second average power.

[0063] Step 405: Determine the variable load reference resistance of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario based on the average power difference between the first average power and the second average power.

[0064] Step 406: Determine the variable load resistance of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario based on the variable load reference resistance value.

[0065] Steps 405 and 406 are the same as or similar to steps 203 and 204, respectively, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] This embodiment can determine the output power of the DC-DC output terminal by using the voltage and current in the electrical energy information, thereby determining the average power of the DC-DC output terminal of the tested vehicle within a preset time period.

[0067] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, determining the variable load reference resistance of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario based on the average power difference between the first average power and the second average power may include: determining the resistance value corresponding to both the voltage at the DC-DC output terminal of the vehicle under test and the average power difference in the simulated road condition scenario, and using this resistance value as the variable load reference resistance value.

[0068] In these optional implementations, the aforementioned execution entity can determine the resistance values ​​corresponding to the following two: the voltage at the DC-DC output terminal of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario, and the aforementioned average power difference. Furthermore, the aforementioned execution entity can use this resistance value as a variable load reference resistance value. In practice, the variable load reference resistance value R can be expressed as the aforementioned voltage U. DCDCout The square of the power difference P divided by the average power difference, i.e., R = U DCDCout 2 / P.

[0069] These implementations can accurately determine the difference between simulated road conditions and actual road conditions by using the power difference between the road scene and the simulated road condition scene, and accurately determine the reference resistance value of the variable load that needs to be added to the vehicle under simulated road conditions.

[0070] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method further includes: determining the energy difference between the output energy corresponding to the first average power and the output energy corresponding to the second average power; determining whether the energy difference exceeds the allowable energy threshold; and outputting an alarm message in response to the energy difference exceeding the allowable test threshold.

[0071] In these optional implementations, the aforementioned execution entity can determine the difference between the output power corresponding to the first average power and the output power corresponding to the second average power, and use this difference as the power difference value. Furthermore, the aforementioned execution entity can determine whether the power difference value exceeds a permissible power threshold. If the power difference value exceeds the permissible power threshold, the aforementioned execution entity can output an alarm message. If the power difference value does not exceed the permissible power threshold, the aforementioned execution entity may not output an alarm message. This permissible power threshold is a threshold set for the power difference value.

[0072] The average power corresponds to the output energy. Based on this output energy, the average power of the DC-DC output terminal of the tested vehicle within a preset time period can be determined.

[0073] These methods can achieve accurate alarms by comparing electrical energy rather than real-time data, thus avoiding "glitch" or signal abrupt changes in the collected signals.

[0074] This disclosure also provides a method for testing the driving range of an autonomous vehicle, comprising: determining the driving range of the vehicle under test based on the variable load resistance value described in any of the above embodiments.

[0075] Specifically, the aforementioned executing entity can determine the driving range of the tested vehicle based on the variable load resistance value using various methods. For example, the executing entity can apply the variable load resistance value to the tested vehicle and record the vehicle's mileage information to obtain the driving range. Alternatively, the executing entity can input the variable load resistance value into a preset model (such as a deep neural network) to obtain the driving range output from the model. This preset model is used to predict the driving range using the variable load resistance value.

[0076] In practice, the variable load resistance affects the driving range. The higher the variable load resistance, the shorter the driving range.

[0077] This embodiment can determine the driving range by determining the variable load resistance value, thereby achieving accurate testing of the driving range under simulated road conditions.

[0078] Further reference Figure 5a As an implementation of the methods shown in the above figures, this disclosure provides an embodiment of a vehicle information processing device, which is similar to... Figure 2 Corresponding to the method embodiment shown, in addition to the features described below, the device embodiment may also include [features related to...]. Figure 2 The method embodiments shown have the same or corresponding features or effects. This device can be specifically applied to various electronic devices.

[0079] like Figure 5a As shown, the vehicle information processing device 500 of this embodiment includes: a first acquisition unit 501, a second acquisition unit 502, a first determination unit 503, and a second determination unit 504. The first acquisition unit 501 is configured to acquire the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a road surface scenario, determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information, and use the average power as a first average power. The second acquisition unit 502 is configured to acquire the electrical energy information of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario, determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information, and use the average power as a second average power. The first determination unit 503 is configured to determine the variable load reference resistance value of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario based on the average power difference between the first average power and the second average power. The second determination unit 504 is configured to determine the variable load resistance value of the vehicle under test in a simulated road condition scenario based on the variable load reference resistance value.

[0080] In this embodiment, the specific processing of the first acquisition unit 501, the second acquisition unit 502, the first determination unit 503, and the second determination unit 504 of the vehicle information processing device 500, and the resulting technical effects, can be referred to respectively. Figure 2 The relevant descriptions of steps 201, 202, 203 and 204 in the corresponding embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0081] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the second acquisition unit is further configured to determine the average power corresponding to the electrical energy information in the following manner: within a preset time period, the product of voltage and current in the electrical energy information is integrated to obtain the output electrical energy of the DCDC of the vehicle under test within the preset time period; based on the output electrical energy, the average power of the DCDC output terminal of the vehicle under test within the preset time period is determined.

[0082] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the first determining unit is further configured to determine the variable load reference resistance value of the vehicle under test in the simulated road condition scenario based on the average power difference between the first average power and the second average power in the following manner: determine the resistance value corresponding to both the voltage at the DCDC output terminal of the vehicle under test and the average power difference in the simulated road condition scenario, and use the resistance value as the variable load reference resistance value.

[0083] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the apparatus further includes: a difference unit configured to determine the energy difference between the output energy corresponding to the first average power and the output energy corresponding to the second average power; a threshold unit configured to determine whether the energy difference exceeds an allowable energy threshold; and an output unit configured to output an alarm message in response to the energy difference exceeding the allowable test threshold.

[0084] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the device further includes: a judgment unit configured to determine whether the average power difference exceeds the power allowable threshold; and an alarm unit configured to output alarm information in response to the average power difference exceeding the power allowable threshold.

[0085] This disclosure also provides a range testing apparatus for autonomous vehicles, comprising: a testing unit configured to determine the range of the vehicle under test according to a variable load resistance value according to any one of claims 7-11.

[0086] like Figure 5b As shown, this disclosure also provides a range testing system for autonomous vehicles. The testing system may include a test system host, a road test signal acquisition module, a CAN (Controller Area Network) signal acquisition module, an electrical energy signal acquisition module, a variable load module, and a power supply module. The test system host is connected to the road test signal acquisition module, the CAN signal acquisition module, the electrical energy signal acquisition module, the variable load module, and the power supply module, respectively.

[0087] Specifically, the power supply model can provide power to the entire test system. In indoor testing, it is directly connected to AC power. During road testing, the on-board power is converted through the transformer to supply power to the system.

[0088] The road test signal acquisition module has at least two voltage channels and two current channels, which are used to acquire the input and output voltage and input and output current (i.e., electrical energy information) of the DC-DC converter during the road test. The acquired signals can be transmitted to the host of the test system for calculation of the DC-DC converter's input and output power and electrical energy.

[0089] The CAN signal acquisition module is used to collect vehicle parameters and transmit them to the test system host in real time for processing and display. In some cases, it can replace the road test signal acquisition module to provide the test system host with the DC-DC input and output current and voltage during the road test, and is used for the calculation of DC-DC input and output power and electrical energy.

[0090] The electrical energy signal acquisition module (electrical energy flow signal acquisition model) is basically the same as the traditional vehicle energy flow acquisition module. In this invention, the focus is on the real-time values ​​of the DC-DC input and output current and voltage acquired by the module, which are then output to the test system host for calculation and comparison.

[0091] The variable load module is mainly used to execute commands issued by the test system host, so that its own load value meets the requirements of the test system host, and then send the adjusted load value back to the test system host for comparison and monitoring.

[0092] The test system host can be portable. It may include a data processing model, a data verification module, and a data display module. The data processing module primarily receives voltage and current signals from the road test signal acquisition module, CAN signal acquisition module, and energy flow signal acquisition module. It calculates the power across the DC-DC converter during the road test, the power and energy consumption across the DC-DC converter during the hub test, and the target value of the variable load's real-time resistance, and transmits this information to the variable load module. The data verification module primarily calculates the difference (energy difference or average power difference) between the low-voltage system power consumption during the road test and the low-voltage system power consumption during the energy flow test. It issues an alarm promptly when the difference exceeds the allowable range. The data display module can be customized by the user to display parameters of interest.
