[0002] The slippery road surface caused by the scattering of particulate matter (such as mud or sand) will reduce the vehicle's driving adhesion coefficient, increase the vehicle's longitudinal braking distance and lateral driving stability, and easily cause dangerous conditions such as rear-end collisions and sideslips, endangering the safety of underground vehicle driving.

[0003] Most of the existing solutions are implemented by adding monitoring cameras to identify information such as water accumulation, ice, and spillage, which limits the accurate and refined early warning and management of dangerous conditions such as slippery roads. The management of slippery road conditions mainly relies on cameras to detect the road surface, or by adding laser emission modules, etc., using video detection technology to analyze the reflected laser beams through video algorithms. Therefore, the method of monitoring and warning the road surface through perception solutions such as cameras requires a large number of facilities such as cameras, which requires huge construction and maintenance costs, and is seriously affected by light, weather, and object obstruction.

[0055] like Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for cooperative control of unmanned vehicles on underground mine roads according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention;

[0056] In step S100, an equation of the acceleration of the vehicle in each direction is established according to the vehicle driving information; the acceleration equation includes the acceleration in the forward direction, the acceleration in the vertical forward direction and the vehicle yaw angle acceleration;
