[0035] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] As mentioned above, how to switch the vehicle's driving mode in different scenarios has become an important research issue.

[0038] Based on the above description, if Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle driving control method proposed in this embodiment is applied to a planning control system, and the method includes:

[0039] Step 101, obtaining vehicle environment information and vehicle operating status information.

[0040] During specific implementation, the planning and control system obtains vehicle environment information and vehicle operation status information. Among them, the planning and control system is also called intelligent driving trajectory planning and control system. The planning and control system can analyze and process data information to determine the vehicle's operation instructions. The vehicle environment information and the vehicle operation status information can be collected and obtained through sensors or perception fusion systems, and sent to the planning and control system. The vehicle environment information includes the relative speed and relative distance between the vehicle and the target object, and the target object includes the vehicle in front and obstacles; the vehicle operation status information includes the vehicle's acceleration, deceleration and constant speed.

[0041] Step 102: Analyze and process the vehicle environment information and the vehicle operation status information to obtain the expected acceleration.

[0042] In specific implementation, the relative distance and relative speed between the vehicle and other surrounding vehicles and objects are determined based on the vehicle environment information, and the expected speed required for the vehicle to avoid collisions and achieve obstacle avoidance in the current driving scenario is determined by comprehensive analysis of the relative distance and relative speed. The current speed of the vehicle is determined based on the vehicle operating status information, where the current speed of the vehicle can also be obtained through the vehicle's IMU-inertial sensor. The planning control system determines the expected acceleration required by the vehicle in the current driving scenario by calculating the difference between the expected speed and the current speed of the vehicle.

[0043] In addition, the desired speed can also be determined by a user's presetting. In addition, the current speed of the vehicle is determined based on the vehicle's operating status information. The planning control system determines the desired acceleration required by the vehicle in the current driving scenario by calculating the difference between the desired speed and the current speed of the vehicle.

[0044] Step 103: determining a bridge control command and a torque command based on the expected acceleration.

[0045] During specific implementation, the electric bridge control command and the torque command are determined according to the expected acceleration. Different expected accelerations correspond to different scenarios, making the obtained commands more accurate and enabling the vehicle's driving mode to be switched in different scenarios, thereby avoiding the problem of unreasonable system utilization caused by the vehicle being in a predetermined driving mode due to the user's pre-selection of a driving mode.

[0046] In some embodiments, step 103 includes:

[0047] Step 1031 , performing a determination process by comparing the expected acceleration with a preset acceleration calibration value to obtain a determination result.

[0048] In specific implementation, the acceleration calibration value is pre-set, and the expected acceleration is compared with the acceleration calibration value to obtain a determination result. For example, the pre-set acceleration calibration value is acceleration A, and the expected acceleration is acceleration a, and the above two accelerations are compared for determination processing. When acceleration a is less than acceleration A, it is determined that the vehicle is in an operating scenario that requires rapid acceleration; when acceleration a is greater than or equal to acceleration A, it is determined that the vehicle is in an operating scenario that requires slow acceleration.

[0049] Step 1032: Determine the corresponding bridge control command and torque command according to the determination result.

[0050] In specific implementation, different judgment results correspond to different vehicle operation scenarios. The corresponding electric bridge control instructions and torque instructions are determined according to the judgment results to make the obtained instructions more accurate. Thus, the corresponding electric bridge control instructions and torque instructions under different vehicle operation scenarios can be obtained, and the vehicle can be driven and controlled according to different operation scenarios.

[0051] In some embodiments, step 1032 includes:

[0052] Step 10321, determining a driving bridge in a current driving state from multiple bridges.

[0053] In specific implementation, when the vehicle is a four-wheel drive vehicle, the driving state of the vehicle includes: front-wheel drive state, rear-wheel drive state and all-wheel drive state. Both the front wheel end and the rear wheel end can be driven and controlled by the electric bridge and torque, but one of the wheel ends is used as the main drive wheel. The driving electric bridge of the current driving state is determined from multiple electric bridges, that is, the electric bridge of the main drive wheel of the vehicle is determined as the driving electric bridge. The driving electric bridge remains connected, and the switching of the vehicle driving state is achieved by controlling the switching of the states of other electric bridges.

[0054] Step 10322, in response to confirming that the expected acceleration is less than the acceleration calibration value, determining that other axles other than the drive axle are disconnected, and determining a first torque command for the wheels controlled by the drive axle.

[0055] In specific implementation, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is less than the acceleration calibration value, it is determined that other axles other than the drive axle are disconnected, the drive axle remains connected, and the first torque command of the wheel controlled by the drive axle is determined, and the first torque command includes the front wheel end torque command or the rear wheel end torque command. For example, if the rear wheel end of the vehicle is the main drive wheel, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is less than the acceleration calibration value, the front axle disconnection command is determined, and the rear wheel end torque command is correspondingly determined as the first torque command. At this time, the rear wheel of the vehicle is the main drive wheel, and the rear wheel drives the front wheel. In this way, it is possible to avoid the waste of resources caused by maintaining the same driving mode in different operating scenarios.

[0056] Step 10323, in response to confirming that the expected acceleration is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, determining that at least one target axle other than the drive axle is connected, and determining a second torque command for the wheels controlled by the drive axle and the at least one target axle.

[0057] In specific implementation, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, at least one target axle other than the driving axle is determined to be connected, the driving axle remains connected, and the second torque command for the wheels controlled by the driving axle and at least one target axle is determined. The second torque command includes a front wheel end torque command and a rear wheel end torque command. For example, if the rear wheel end of the vehicle is the main driving wheel, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, the front axle connection command is determined, and the front wheel end torque command and the rear wheel end torque command are correspondingly determined as the second torque command. At this time, the front and rear wheels of the vehicle cooperate with each other for driving. In this way, the vehicle can switch to a driving mode in which the front and rear wheels cooperate with each other in extreme operating scenarios to avoid unreasonable system utilization.

[0058] In some embodiments, the driving state of the vehicle is a rear-wheel drive state, and step 1032 includes:

[0059] Step 1032A, in response to confirming that the expected acceleration is less than the acceleration calibration value, a front axle disconnection instruction is obtained, and a rear wheel end torque instruction is determined as a first torque instruction.

[0060] In specific implementation, the rear-wheel drive state is that the rear wheels of the vehicle are the main driving wheels, and the rear wheels drive the front wheels to drive. If the driving state of the vehicle is the rear-wheel drive state, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is less than the acceleration calibration value, at this time, the vehicle is in an operation scenario that requires slow acceleration, so the electric bridge control instruction is determined to be the front bridge disconnection instruction, and the rear wheel end torque instruction is correspondingly determined as the first torque instruction. At this time, the vehicle maintains the rear-wheel drive state, the rear wheels are the main driving wheels, and the rear wheels drive the front wheels to drive.

[0061] Step 1032B, in response to confirming that the expected acceleration is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, obtain the front axle connection instruction, and determine the front wheel end torque instruction and the rear wheel end torque instruction as the second torque instruction.

[0062] In specific implementation, if the driving state of the vehicle is the rear-wheel drive state, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, at this time, the vehicle is in an operating scenario that requires rapid acceleration. Therefore, the electric axle control instruction is determined to be the front axle connection instruction, and the front wheel end torque instruction and the rear wheel end torque instruction are correspondingly determined as the second torque instruction. At this time, the front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle cooperate with each other for driving.

[0063] In some embodiments, the driving state of the vehicle is a front-wheel drive state, and step 1032 includes:

[0064] Step 1032a, in response to confirming that the expected acceleration is less than the acceleration calibration value, a rear axle disconnection instruction is obtained, and a front wheel end torque instruction is determined as a first torque instruction.

[0065] In specific implementation, the front-wheel drive state is that the front wheels of the vehicle are the main driving wheels, and the front wheels drive the rear wheels to drive. If the driving state of the vehicle is the front-wheel drive state, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is less than the acceleration calibration value, at this time, the vehicle is in an operation scenario that requires slow acceleration, so the electric bridge control instruction is determined to be the rear bridge disconnection instruction, and the front wheel end torque instruction is correspondingly determined as the first torque instruction. At this time, the vehicle maintains the front-wheel drive state, the front wheels are the main driving wheels, and the front wheels drive the rear wheels to drive.

[0066] Step 1032b, in response to confirming that the expected acceleration is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, obtain a rear axle connection instruction, and determine the front wheel end torque instruction and the rear wheel end torque instruction as the second torque instruction.

[0067] In specific implementation, if the driving state of the vehicle is the front-wheel drive state, when the expected acceleration of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the acceleration calibration value, at this time, the vehicle is in an operating scenario that requires rapid acceleration. Therefore, the electric axle control instruction is determined to be the rear axle connection instruction, and the front wheel end torque instruction and the rear wheel end torque instruction are correspondingly determined as the second torque instruction. At this time, the front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle cooperate with each other for driving.

[0068] Step 104 , sending the bridge control instruction and the torque instruction to a power control system, so that the power control system performs bridge control according to the bridge control instruction and performs drive control according to the torque instruction.

[0069] In specific implementation, the planning control system sends the bridge control instruction and the torque instruction to the power control system. The power control system is a system that executes power drive related instructions and can perform related operations according to the instructions, such as performing bridge disconnection and bridge connection operations according to the bridge control instruction, and performing motor drive operations according to the torque instruction.

[0070] The power control system first sends the bridge control instruction to the target bridge for bridge control, wherein the bridge control instruction includes a bridge connection instruction and a bridge disconnection instruction. The target bridge performs the bridge connection or bridge disconnection operation according to the bridge control instruction to realize the control of the bridge, thereby determining the driving mode. Then the torque instruction is sent to the corresponding motor for drive control, wherein the motor includes a front axle motor and a rear axle motor. When the torque instruction is a front wheel end torque instruction, the front wheel end torque instruction is sent to the front axle motor; when the torque instruction is a rear wheel end torque instruction, the rear wheel end torque instruction is sent to the rear axle motor. Drive control is realized by controlling the motor through the torque instruction, and the drive control of the vehicle is realized on the basis of determining the drive mode.

[0071] In some embodiments, step 104 includes:

[0072] Step 1041, obtaining the bridge controller state and executable torque.

[0073] During specific implementation, the planning control system obtains the state of the electric bridge controller and the executable torque, wherein the executable torque includes: the executable torque at the front wheel end and the executable torque at the rear wheel end.

[0074] Step 1042: Analyze and process the state of the bridge controller to determine whether the bridge controller is in a normal working state.

[0075] In specific implementation, the planning control system analyzes and processes the state of the bridge controller to determine whether the bridge controller is in a normal working state. When the bridge controller is in a normal state, the bridge control instruction can be sent to the power control system to let the power control system execute the bridge control instruction; when the bridge controller is in a fault state, the power control system cannot execute the bridge control instruction and feedback is given to the user. At the same time, it can also determine whether the bridge controller is in a connected state or a disconnected state, so as to determine the bridge control instruction in combination with the determination result of the vehicle's expected acceleration.

[0076] Step 1043, determining a torque command range by analyzing and processing the executable torque, and after determining that the torque command is within the torque command range, sending the electric bridge control command and the torque command to a power control system.

[0077] During specific implementation, the planning control system analyzes and processes the executable torque to determine the torque command range. According to the torque command range, it is judged whether the torque command is within the range that the motor can normally execute, so as to avoid the problem that the motor cannot normally execute the torque command due to the torque command being too large or too small. Among them, the torque command range includes the front wheel end torque command range and the rear wheel end torque command range. The front wheel end torque command range and the rear wheel end torque command range can be different. When judging whether the torque command is within the torque command range, it is judged whether the front wheel end torque command is within the range that the front axle motor can normally execute according to the front wheel end torque command range, so as to ensure that the front wheel end torque command can be normally executed; it is judged whether the rear wheel end torque command is within the range that the rear axle motor can normally execute according to the rear wheel end torque command range, so as to ensure that the rear wheel end torque command can be normally executed.

[0078] In the above scheme, the planning control system determines the bridge control instructions and torque instructions according to the expected acceleration obtained by analysis and processing, and can determine the corresponding instructions according to the specific scenario to realize the drive control of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle's drive mode can be switched according to the specific scenario to avoid resource waste and unreasonable system utilization.

[0079] like Figure 2As shown, another embodiment of the vehicle driving control method is applied to a power control system, and the method includes:

[0080] Step 201 : receiving the electric bridge control instruction and the torque instruction obtained by the planning control system executing the vehicle drive control method described in the above embodiment.

[0081] During specific implementation, the power control system receives the electric bridge control instruction and the torque instruction determined by the planning control system in the above embodiment.

[0082] Step 202: Send the bridge control instruction to the target bridge to perform bridge control.

[0083] In specific implementation, the power control system sends a bridge control instruction to the target bridge, wherein the bridge control instruction includes a bridge connection instruction and a bridge disconnection instruction. The target bridge performs a bridge connection or bridge disconnection operation according to the bridge control instruction to realize control of the bridge.

[0084] Step 203: Send the torque command to the corresponding motor for drive control.

[0085] In specific implementation, the power control system sends the torque command to the corresponding motor, wherein the motor includes the front axle motor and the rear axle motor. When the torque command is the front wheel end torque command, the front wheel end torque command is sent to the front axle motor; when the torque command is the rear wheel end torque command, the rear wheel end torque command is sent to the rear axle motor. The drive control is achieved by controlling the motor through the torque command.

[0086] In the above scheme, the power control system controls the target bridge according to the bridge control instruction to determine the driving mode; the power control system controls the motor according to the torque instruction and realizes the driving control of the vehicle based on the determined driving mode.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the planning control system obtains vehicle environment information and vehicle operation status information; analyzes and processes the vehicle environment information and the vehicle operation status information to obtain the expected acceleration; determines the bridge control instruction and the torque instruction based on the expected acceleration, and different expected accelerations correspond to different vehicle operation scenarios. The bridge control instruction and the torque instruction are determined according to the expected acceleration, so that these instructions are more in line with the characteristics of different operation scenarios, and can be accurately controlled based on these instructions; then, the bridge control instruction and the torque instruction are sent to the power control system so that the power system performs drive control according to the instructions; the power control system sends the bridge control instruction to the target bridge for bridge control, and sends the torque instruction to the corresponding motor for drive control. Based on the solution implemented in this application, the drive mode can be switched according to different operation scenarios to avoid unreasonable system utilization.

[0088] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure may be further described in the following manner:

[0089] like Figure 3A As shown, Figure 3A Schematic diagram of a control link of an intelligent driving system according to an embodiment.

[0090] In the vehicle intelligent driving system, the intelligent driving system includes at least one of the following: an intelligent driving perception system, an intelligent driving regulation and control system, a vehicle steering system, a vehicle braking system, and a vehicle power system. The intelligent driving regulation and control system is the planning control system in the above embodiment, and the vehicle power system is the power control system in the above embodiment.

[0091] Step A: The intelligent driving perception system identifies the vehicle's surrounding environment information and transmits the environment information to the intelligent driving regulation and control system. The intelligent driving regulation and control system sends a lateral control request and a longitudinal control request for the vehicle in combination with the vehicle's surrounding environment information and the vehicle's operating status information, wherein the vehicle's operating status information includes vehicle speed, acceleration, relative position to the target, etc. The lateral control request includes a turning angle request; and the longitudinal control request includes a braking request and a torque request.

[0092] In step B, the vehicle steering system executes the turning angle request issued by the intelligent driving system; the vehicle braking system executes the braking deceleration request issued by the intelligent driving system; and the vehicle power system executes the acceleration torque request issued by the intelligent driving system.

[0093] like Figure 3B As shown, Figure 3B Schematic diagram of the intelligent driving control link of the embodiment.

[0094] In the vehicle intelligent driving control system, the driving control system includes at least one of the following: an intelligent driving regulation and control system, a vehicle power system, a front axle motor, and a rear axle motor. The intelligent driving regulation and control system is the planning control system in the above embodiment, and the vehicle power system is the power control system in the above embodiment.

[0095] In step a, the intelligent driving system collects vehicle environment information through its own sensors and perception system, and outputs relevant target object information to the intelligent driving regulation and control system. The target object information includes but is not limited to the relative speed and relative distance between the vehicle and the target object.

[0096] Step b: The intelligent driving control system receives the target object information, and outputs the bridge controller state and the front and rear wheel end torque request to the vehicle power system in combination with the vehicle surrounding environment information and the vehicle operation status information at that time. The vehicle operation status information includes at least one of the following: acceleration, deceleration, and constant vehicle speed.

[0097] Step c, when the vehicle is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, if the vehicle requires a small acceleration in the current operating scenario, the intelligent driving regulation and control system determines the front axle control disconnection command and the rear wheel end torque command; if the vehicle requires a large acceleration in the current operating scenario, the intelligent driving regulation and control system determines the front axle control connection command, the front wheel end torque command and the rear wheel end torque command.

[0098] Step d, after the vehicle power system receives the electric bridge control instruction, the front wheel end torque instruction and the rear wheel end torque instruction, it sends the corresponding torque instruction to the motor, sends the front wheel end torque instruction to the front axle motor, sends the rear wheel end torque instruction to the rear axle motor, performs related operations, and realizes vehicle drive.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the bridge control instruction and the torque instruction are determined according to the expected acceleration obtained by analysis and processing, and the corresponding instructions can be determined according to the specific scenario to realize the drive control of the vehicle. Therefore, the drive mode of the vehicle can be switched according to the specific scenario to avoid resource waste and unreasonable system utilization.

[0100] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or a server. The method of the present embodiment can also be applied in a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.
