[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] In order to expand the vehicle's perception range of the surrounding environment, self-driving cars often use multiple vehicle sensor layout methods to achieve this. The more sensors there are, the larger the vehicle's external perception range is, and the safer the vehicle is. However, the multi-sensor layout has the disadvantages of high value and high cost.

[0042] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle sensor position control device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle sensor position control device includes:

[0043] The vehicle sensor 1 is used to obtain environmental information.

[0044] In one example, the vehicle sensor 1 may be but is not limited to a lidar sensor, and the environmental information includes but is not limited to position information and speed information of external objects.

[0045] The position sensor 2 is used to collect the position information of the vehicle sensor 1.

[0046] In one example, the position information of the vehicle sensor 1 refers to the position of the vehicle sensor 1 relative to the vehicle.

[0047] The controller 3 is connected to the position sensor 2 and is used to obtain the position information and the target position information of the vehicle sensor 1, and control the vehicle sensor 1 to move to the target position according to the position information and the target position information, so that the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1 meets the vehicle perception requirements. The target position information is determined according to the current speed of the vehicle.

[0048] In one example, the target position information of the vehicle sensor 1 refers to the target position of the vehicle sensor 1 relative to the vehicle.

[0049] Specifically, the vehicle sensor position control device is used to make the vehicle sensor 1 be at different positions when the vehicle speed is different, thereby changing the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1. When the vehicle sensor 1 is at different target positions, the horizontal inclination angle is different, and the current speed of the vehicle and the horizontal inclination angle are negatively correlated, that is, the greater the vehicle speed, the smaller the inclination angle of the vehicle sensor 1.

[0050] Through the above device, the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1 is changed by changing the position of the vehicle sensor 1, thereby reducing the number of vehicle sensors without reducing the perception range of the vehicle sensors.

[0051] In one example, the vehicle sensor position control device also includes: a drive motor and a transmission mechanism, the vehicle sensor 1 is fixed on the transmission mechanism, the controller 3 is used to send control instructions to the drive motor according to the position information and the target position information of the vehicle sensor 1; the drive motor is used to generate rotational motion according to the control instructions; the transmission mechanism is used to convert the rotational motion into linear displacement and angular displacement to move the vehicle sensor 1 to the target position.

[0052] In one example, environmental information includes position information of external objects. Vehicle sensor 1 sends the position information of the external objects to a vehicle-mounted computer, and position sensor 2 sends the position information of vehicle sensor 1 to the vehicle-mounted computer, so that the vehicle-mounted computer compensates for the position information of the external objects according to the position information of vehicle sensor 1 to obtain compensated position information of the external objects.

[0053] In another example, the environmental information includes speed information of external objects, and the vehicle sensor position control device also includes: a speed sensor, used to obtain the speed information of the vehicle sensor 1, and send the speed information to the vehicle-mounted computer, so that the vehicle-mounted computer compensates for the speed information of the external object according to the current speed of the vehicle and the speed information of the vehicle sensor 1, and obtains the compensated speed information of the external object.

[0054] The position sensor 2 not only improves the stability and accuracy of position control, but also compensates for the vehicle sensor 1 in detecting the speed and position of external objects, and corrects the detection speed and position deviation caused by the movement of the vehicle sensor 1 itself.

[0055] Of course, in the above embodiments, the target position calculation and compensation calculation can be completed by, but not limited to, an on-board computer, and can also be a controller or other devices with computing functions.

[0056] In another example, the vehicle sensor position control device further includes a fixed frame, and the position sensor 2, the controller 3, the drive motor, and the transmission mechanism are fixed on the fixed frame, and the fixed frame is placed on the top of the vehicle.

[0057] When the vehicle sensor 1 is located at different positions of the fixed frame, the horizontal inclination angle of the vehicle sensor 1 is different, thereby changing the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1 .

[0058] Figure 2 These are two working states when the vehicle sensor 1 is located at different positions in a vehicle sensor position control device proposed according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0059] When a vehicle passes through a high-precision positioning device and the locator is in a highway motor vehicle lane, expressway, etc., the vehicle is in a high-speed driving state most of the time. Pedestrians and non-motor vehicles will not appear in this area. The vehicle has a greater need to sense the surrounding vehicles farther away. The on-board computer issues a command to control the vehicle sensor 1 to move to the position of the vehicle sensor through the vehicle sensor position control device. Figure 2 Position 1 in the middle, so that the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1 covers a position far away from the front of the vehicle, meeting the safety requirements of high-speed driving of the vehicle.

[0060] When a vehicle is located by a high-precision positioning device in areas such as highway auxiliary roads, community parking lots, rural roads, and small alleys, the vehicle is in a low-speed driving state most of the time. Pedestrians and non-motor vehicles are more likely to appear in the above areas, and they have a strong need to perceive obstacles near the front of the vehicle. The on-board computer issues a command to control the vehicle sensor 1 to move to the position of the vehicle sensor through the vehicle sensor position control device. Figure 2 Position 2 in the middle makes the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1 cover a position closer to the front of the vehicle, meeting the safety requirements of the vehicle driving at low speed.

[0061] When transitioning from a low-speed driving scenario to a high-speed driving scenario, under the condition of vehicle driving, when the vehicle sensor position control device controls the movement of the vehicle sensor 1, this process is a state that existing autonomous driving vehicles do not have, and the embodiment is called a "transition process state."

[0062] In the transition process state, since the vehicle sensor 1 is moving (including linear displacement and / or angular displacement), the vehicle sensor 1 is moving relative to the vehicle, and the detection of the external moving object by the vehicle sensor 1 needs to be compensated in combination with the movement of the vehicle sensor 1, wherein the detection data includes the position and speed of the external moving object, and the compensation formula is:

[0063] The speed of the external object = the speed of the vehicle + the speed of the moving object detected by the vehicle sensor + the speed of the vehicle sensor relative to the vehicle.

[0064] External object position = vehicle sensor detected motion position + vehicle sensor motion position.

[0065] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a partial arc frame in a vehicle sensor position control device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 The fixed frame shown is a partial arc frame, which includes a horizontal portion and an arc portion. When the vehicle sensor 1 moves in the horizontal portion of the partial arc frame, the inclination angle of the vehicle sensor 1 does not change. When the vehicle sensor 1 moves in the arc portion of the partial arc frame, the horizontal inclination angle of the vehicle sensor 1 at different positions is different.

[0066] Figure 3 The frame shown is a partial arc frame of 60 degrees. When the vehicle sensor 1 moves on the arc frame, the horizontal inclination angle of the vehicle sensor 1 can be adjusted within the range of 0 to 60 degrees.

[0067] Assuming that the maximum horizontal detection distance of the vehicle sensor 1 is 50 meters, the maximum detection range thereof when the horizontal inclination angle is 60 degrees is 25 meters.

[0068] Based on the detection distance and braking distance of the vehicle at the maximum angle of 90 degrees at different speeds, the sensor detection distance requirements of the vehicle at different speeds can be evaluated. The specific requirements are:

[0069] Vehicle sensor detection distance>(vehicle sensor data collection time + obstacle perception and recognition time + vehicle braking delay time)*vehicle speed+0.5*vehicle speed*vehicle speed / vehicle maximum braking deceleration.

[0070] According to the above inequality requirements, it can be known that the greater the vehicle speed, the smaller the sensor inclination angle. The relationship between vehicle speed and sensor horizontal inclination angle is as follows:

[0071] Sensor tilt angle = K / vehicle speed, or sensor tilt angle = K*log a(vehicle speed) (a<1); any relationship in the form of a decreasing function can be called a quantitative control algorithm for sensor tilt angle control.

[0072] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle sensor position control system proposed according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0073] The system includes: a vehicle sensor 1, which is used to obtain environmental information; a position sensor 2, which is used to collect the position information of the vehicle sensor 1; a controller 3, which is connected to the position sensor 2 and is used to obtain the position information and the target position information of the vehicle sensor 1, and control the vehicle sensor 1 to move to the target position according to the position information and the target position information, so that the detection range of the vehicle sensor 1 meets the vehicle perception requirements; an on-board computer 4, which is used to determine the target position information according to the current speed of the vehicle and to perform compensation calculations on the external motion speed information and position information.

[0074] By making full use of the limited number of sensors on the vehicle, the vehicle sensors are controlled to be in different positions in different vehicle operation scenarios, so that the perception range of the vehicle sensors meets the requirements of safe driving of the vehicle, and the effect of multi-sensor layout is achieved. This reduces the cost of the vehicle sensor. For example, the cost of LiDAR can be reduced by 50%, and the data processing burden of the perception system is also reduced by 50%; the complexity of the vehicle electrical architecture is reduced by 60%.

[0075] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a vehicle sensor position control method. Figure 5 is a flow chart of a vehicle sensor position control method proposed according to an exemplary embodiment, which is used in the vehicle sensor position control device in the above embodiment, and the method includes:

[0076] Step S101: Acquire the position information of the vehicle sensor and the target position information of the vehicle sensor.

[0077] Specifically, obtaining the position information of the vehicle sensor is the current position information of the vehicle sensor. While obtaining the position information improves the stability and accuracy of position control, it can also compensate for the vehicle sensor when detecting external objects and correct the detection speed and position deviation caused by the movement of the vehicle sensor itself.

[0078] Step S102: Control the vehicle sensor to reach the target position according to the position information and the target position information, so that the detection range of the vehicle sensor meets the vehicle perception requirements. The target position information is determined according to the current speed of the vehicle.

[0079] Specifically, the position of the vehicle sensor is changed so that it has different detection ranges, thereby meeting the vehicle perception requirements.

[0080] In one example, the horizontal inclination angles of the vehicle sensor at different target positions are different, and the current speed of the vehicle is negatively correlated with the horizontal inclination angle, that is, the greater the vehicle speed, the smaller the inclination angle of the vehicle sensor.

[0081] Through the above method, when the vehicle is at different speeds, the vehicle sensor is at different positions, so that the detection range of the vehicle sensor meets the vehicle perception requirements.
