Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent driving. More specifically, it relates to a method, apparatus, and storage medium for quantifying the magnitude of driving risks in intelligent vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent vehicles, which integrate vehicle intelligence and connectivity technologies, are the main form of intelligent transportation systems, and the driving safety of intelligent vehicles has always been a key focus in this field.

[0003] Most existing driving risk models only consider simple factors such as road user speed and mass, and cannot comprehensively consider complex factors such as direction, road conditions, and social psychology (obedience to road traffic rules). Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings in this field, the present invention provides a method, device, and storage medium for quantifying the magnitude of driving risks in intelligent vehicles. The purpose is to determine a mathematical model that can reflect the quantitative standard of driving risks in intelligent vehicles under complex and ever-changing traffic conditions, based on the relationship between the sources of driving risks and various factors affecting driving safety.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for quantifying the driving risk of intelligent vehicles, characterized by comprising:

[0007] (1) Obtain the size information of each factor that affects the driving risk of intelligent vehicles, including intelligent vehicles, obstacles, pedestrians and lane lines;

[0008] (2) Construct a rectangular model using the length and width dimensions of the intelligent vehicle, pedestrians, obstacles and lane lines; perform envelope optimization on the constructed rectangular model to obtain the optimized envelope model;

[0009] (3) Based on the range of the region enclosed by the optimized envelope model, determine the range of the peak value of the risk field generated by each influencing factor in the risk field of intelligent vehicles under complex and ever-changing traffic environment and structured road conditions.

[0010] (4) Based on the determined range of the risk field peak, a mathematical model of field strength change is constructed based on the concept of social force.

[0011] This application proposes a method, device, and storage medium for quantifying the magnitude of the driving risk field for intelligent vehicles, establishing a mathematical model for calculating the magnitude of driving risks in intelligent vehicles. The mathematical model analyzes, from the perspective of traditional social forces, the social forces that intelligent vehicles may experience in structured roads, including those from other intelligent vehicles traveling in the opposite or same direction, social forces from stationary obstacles ahead, social forces from pedestrians crossing crosswalks at intersections, and social forces from lane lines. It proposes a concept of an intelligent vehicle driving risk field based on social forces. In comparison, this model can more reasonably and adaptively characterize the magnitude of driving risks for vehicles under complex and ever-changing traffic conditions, providing a new theoretical model and judgment basis for the safe driving of intelligent vehicles.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0013] (1) For the first time, the concept of social force theory is applied to the field of intelligent vehicle driving safety. It fully considers the interaction mechanism between people, vehicles, roads and environment, as well as complex factors such as road user types and road conditions. It also introduces social psychology and uses the magnitude of the driving safety field force to characterize the risk level of the vehicle during driving.

[0014] (2) Compared with existing horizontal and vertical models based on speed and distance, as well as potential field models, the social force model for intelligent vehicle driving safety established in this invention, which considers social psychology, is applicable to complex driving scenarios and provides new ideas and methods for active safety of intelligent vehicles in complex traffic scenarios.

[0019] (1) Obtain the size information of each factor that affects the driving risk of intelligent vehicles, including intelligent vehicles, obstacles, pedestrians and lane lines;

[0020] (2) Construct a rectangular model using the length and width dimensions of the intelligent vehicle, pedestrians, obstacles and lane lines; perform envelope optimization on the constructed rectangular model to obtain the optimized envelope model;

[0021] (3) Based on the range of the region enclosed by the optimized envelope model, determine the range of the peak value of the risk field generated by each influencing factor in the risk field of intelligent vehicles under complex and ever-changing traffic environment and structured road conditions.

[0022] (4) Based on the determined range of the risk field peak, a mathematical model of field strength change is constructed based on the concept of social force.

[0023] In step (2), the method for performing envelope optimization on the constructed rectangular model to obtain the optimized envelope model is as follows:

[0045] Based on the optimization model, and using the concept of social forces, a mathematical model is determined to account for the changes in risk field strength caused by other influencing factors such as intelligent vehicles, obstacles, pedestrians, and lane lines in a complex and ever-changing traffic environment. The steps include:

[0046] Based on the concept of social forces, and combined with other characteristic factors, the mathematical model for the changes in risk field strength caused by other influencing factors such as intelligent vehicles, obstacles, pedestrians, and lane lines in a complex and ever-changing traffic environment is as follows:
