[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] The present application embodiment provides a method for processing roadside equipment data, which is used for roadside equipment such as Figure 1 As shown, a schematic flow chart of a method for processing roadside equipment data in an embodiment of the present application is provided, and the method at least includes the following steps S110 to S140:

[0050] Step S110, detecting whether a vehicle enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside equipment.

[0051] The roadside equipment in the roadside node has a perception function and a V2X communication function. Therefore, the roadside equipment detects in real time whether a vehicle has entered the perception area (which can be the perception area of ​​a single roadside equipment or the perception overlapping area of ​​multiple roadside equipment), and causes the roadside equipment to have a perception blind spot. In other words, at this time, the "vehicle" has entered the perception area and caused the roadside equipment to have a perception blind spot.

[0052] It is understandable that the vehicle may include multiple vehicles with the same or different driving directions. The reason why the vehicle causes the perception blind spot of the roadside equipment is mainly because it blocks or interferes with the sensor of the roadside equipment. Specifically, the blockage may include but is not limited to the blockage of the camera's field of view (such as a high vehicle body) and the blockage of the laser radar's perception range. Interference includes but is not limited to interference with radio frequency signals, interference with millimeter wave radar ranging, interference with fisheye camera distortion, interference due to weather reasons, etc. For example, interference caused by rain, strong wind, thunder and lightning weather, etc.

[0053] For example, the vehicle is a large cargo vehicle, which is long, high and wide. When the vehicle enters the sensing area, it will first be sensed by the sensing device of the roadside device. Secondly, if the roadside device finds that it has caused obstruction or interference, it will be considered that a sensing blind spot has appeared. It should be noted that the sensing blind spot changes in real time and the size of the blind spot will also change as the vehicle moves.

[0054] Step S120: If yes, send perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0055] If the roadside device detects a target vehicle that enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside device, it will send a perception sharing request message to the target vehicle.

[0056] The target vehicle can be the vehicle that enters the sensing area and causes the roadside device to have a sensing blind spot, or it can be other vehicles, as long as it meets the requirement of being able to sense the sharing request information. That is, when selecting the target vehicle, it can be selected from the "vehicle" in the above steps, or it can be other vehicles that meet the conditions of sensing the sharing request information.

[0057] It should be noted that the perception sharing request information sent to the target vehicle can be sent by periodic broadcasting. Furthermore, it is necessary to obtain the position information, vehicle speed, acceleration, yaw angle, etc. of the target vehicle.

[0058] The perception sharing request information is mainly used to fill in the blind spots of the blocked areas. Considering that the vehicle is in the process of driving, the perception sharing request information changes based on the current blind spot range and target time interval of the roadside equipment. For example, the information of the blind spot range A at the current moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the current moment, and the information of the blind spot range B at the next moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the next moment.

[0059] Step S130, receiving a first perception result sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information.

[0060] A first perception result sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information is received, and the roadside device that receives the first perception result is the roadside device in which the perception blind spot appeared at the last moment.

[0061] In addition, the perception sharing request information is information perceived by the target vehicle through its own perception device, and the perception result is returned to the roadside device that sent the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0062] Step S140: Fusing the first perception result with the second perception result to obtain a global perception result, wherein the first perception result is provided by the target vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the roadside device.

[0063] By fusing the first perception result with the second perception result, a global perception result is obtained, which can then be sent as guidance information to related vehicles that need to be coordinated.

[0064] Furthermore, the first perception result is provided by the target vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the roadside device. The second perception result may be provided by multiple roadside devices, and the first perception result may also be provided by multiple target vehicles.

[0065] When a vehicle that enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside device is taken as the target vehicle, if there is only one target vehicle at present and it only causes a blind spot for one roadside device, the first perception result is provided by the current target vehicle and the second perception result is provided by the current roadside device.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the range of the perception blind spot changes according to the position movement of the target vehicle, and the sending of perception sharing request information to the target vehicle includes: determining the range of the perception blind spot according to the position of the target vehicle; and sending the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle when it is determined that the range of the perception blind spot exceeds a preset threshold, wherein the perception sharing request information includes at least one of the following: perception blind spot range information and effective time information, and the perception blind spot range information and the effective time information are used to determine the perception position and perception time of the first perception result.

[0067] In specific implementation, when determining the range of the perception blind spot according to the position of the target vehicle: by identifying that the target vehicle is within the perception area, the blind spot information is calculated based on the sensor position and field of view angle information on the roadside equipment, as well as the position information, length, width, and height of the target vehicle, that is, the range of the blind spot is determined.

[0068] Furthermore, when it is determined that the range of the perception blind spot exceeds a preset threshold (for example, when the perception blind spot is greater than the threshold, it will affect the perception effect and cause safety hazards), the perception sharing request information is sent to the target vehicle. That is to say, if the range of the perception blind spot exceeds the preset threshold (configured according to actual needs), the perception sharing request information is sent to the target vehicle. Specifically, the perception sharing request information can be sent to the target vehicle through the V2X communication protocol. That is, when the blind spot range exceeds the preset threshold, the roadside determines that the blind spot needs to be filled (the blind spot that needs to be filled may include the perception area of ​​the target vehicle, that is, the target vehicle is the vehicle that enters the perception area and causes the roadside equipment to have a perception blind spot, and at the same time serves as the target vehicle for receiving the perception sharing request information). At this time, the process of determining and identifying the range of the perception blind spot is dynamic, and as the position of the target vehicle moves, the range of the blind spot also changes synchronously. Due to the changes in the range of the blind spot, multiple target vehicles will be required to share the perception of local information.

[0069] It should be noted that the perception blind area range information and the effective time information are used to determine the perception position and perception time of the first perception result. By determining the perception position and perception time of the first perception result, the original results can be screened at the target vehicle to obtain the perception result of the corresponding position and time.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, the receiving of the first perception result sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information includes: receiving the first perception result of the traffic participant sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information based on the real-time perception result, the first perception result is the traffic participant status information within the range that the perception sharing request can respond to and within the valid time, and the traffic participant status information includes at least one of the following: the number of traffic participants, traffic participant size information, traffic participant speed information, traffic participant acceleration information, and traffic participant heading angle information.

[0071] In specific implementation, the relevant roadside equipment (roadside equipment with a perception blind spot) will receive the first perception result of the traffic participant sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information based on the real-time perception result. It can be understood that the traffic participants here include but are not limited to: people and vehicles. And the traffic participant status information includes but is not limited to the number of traffic participants, traffic participant size information, traffic participant speed information, traffic participant acceleration information, and traffic participant heading angle information.

[0072] Based on the status information of these traffic participants, the perception results can be summarized to guide vehicles that need to perform vehicle-road collaboration.

[0073] It should be noted that the target vehicle needs to have perception and V2X functions, while other participating vehicles do not need to have perception functions.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, the method also includes: in response to a guidance information request sent by a vehicle, using the global perception result as the guidance information of the roadside equipment and issuing it, wherein the global perception result includes the complete perception result of the surrounding area of ​​the vehicle; detecting whether the target vehicle leaves the perception area; if so, stopping sending the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0075] In specific implementation, for a certain roadside device (a roadside device participating in vehicle-road collaboration), in response to a guidance information request sent by a vehicle, the global perception result is used as the guidance information of the roadside device and sent down. Since the global perception result includes the complete perception result of the surroundings of the vehicle, it can be used in vehicle-road collaboration scenarios such as vehicle guidance.

[0076] Further, it is detected whether the target vehicle leaves the sensing area; if so, the sensing sharing request information is stopped from being sent to the target vehicle. In other words, the trigger condition for the roadside to end the sensing request is that when the target vehicle leaves the sensing area of ​​the roadside, the roadside stops sending the sensing sharing request information.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, the roadside equipment is configured with sensors and cameras, and the detection of whether a vehicle enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside equipment includes: when the vehicle is identified as being located in the perception area, calculating the range of the perception blind spot based on the position of the sensor deployment, the field of view angle information of the camera, and the vehicle parameter information of the vehicle; and detecting whether a vehicle enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside equipment based on the position of the vehicle in the perception area and the range of the perception blind spot.

[0078] In specific implementation, since the roadside equipment is equipped with sensors and cameras. When the vehicle is identified as being in the perception area, the range of the perception blind spot can be calculated based on the position of the sensor deployment (external parameter calibration result), the field of view angle information (FOV) of the camera, and the vehicle parameter information of the vehicle. Furthermore, based on the position of the vehicle in the perception area (real time) and the range of the perception blind spot (corresponding to the position), it is detected whether there is a vehicle entering the perception area and causing the roadside equipment to have a perception blind spot.

[0079] For example, when the vehicle is a large cargo vehicle, which is long, high and wide, when the vehicle is identified as being located in the perception area, the range of the perception blind area is calculated based on the external parameter calibration results of the sensor deployment on the roadside equipment, the field of view information FOV of the camera and the vehicle parameter information of the vehicle.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, the roadside equipment is configured to sense and support V2X communication, the vehicle is configured to sense and support V2X communication, and the first perception result in response to the perception sharing request information includes: a first perception result based on V2X communication in response to the perception sharing request information sent by at least one of the vehicles; and a first perception result based on V2X communication in response to the perception sharing request information forwarded by at least one of the vehicles.

[0081] In a specific implementation, since the roadside equipment is configured to sense and support V2X communication, the vehicle is configured to sense and support V2X communication. One case is that at least one of the vehicles itself sends a first sensing result based on V2X communication in response to the sensing sharing request information, that is, at least one vehicle is used as a target vehicle (at this time, the area may include multiple vehicles, but one of them has a sensing function) to respond to the first sensing result of the sensing sharing request information.

[0082] Another situation is that the first perception result based on V2X communication in response to the perception sharing request information is forwarded by at least one of the vehicles. That is, the first perception result in response to the perception sharing request information is forwarded by at least one vehicle as a non-target vehicle (in this case, the area may include multiple vehicles and only supports V2X communication function). At this time, the first perception result of the perception sharing request information forwarded may come from other roadside equipment or other vehicles with perception function.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, a roadside device data processing method is provided, which is used for the roadside device, wherein the range of the perception blind area changes according to the position movement of the vehicle, the roadside device is configured with a sensor and a camera, the roadside device is configured to perceive and support V2X communication, and the vehicle is configured to perceive and support V2X communication, wherein the method includes:

[0084] The roadside device detects whether a vehicle enters the sensing area and causes a sensing blind spot for the roadside device;

[0085] If there is a roadside device, a perception sharing request message is sent to the target vehicle;

[0086] The roadside device receives a first sensing result sent by the target vehicle in response to the sensing sharing request information;

[0087] The roadside device fuses the first perception result with the second perception result to obtain a global perception result, wherein the first perception result is provided by the target vehicle and the second perception result is provided by the roadside device.

[0088] Specifically, both the roadside equipment and the vehicle have perception functions and V2X communication functions. The roadside equipment senses that a vehicle, such as a large vehicle, affects the perception area, resulting in a perception blind spot. a. Identify the vehicle in the perception area; b. Calculate the blind spot information, i.e. the blind spot range, based on the sensor position, field of view angle information, vehicle position information, length, width, and height; c. When the blind spot range exceeds the preset threshold, the roadside determines that blind spot filling is required. As the position of the vehicle moves, the blind spot range also changes synchronously.

[0089] The roadside device sends a perception information sharing request. When the roadside perception needs to fill in the blind spot, the roadside system sends the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle through V2X, including the blind spot range information and effective time information.

[0090] The vehicle forwards perception information. After the target vehicle receives the perception sharing request information from the roadside system, it filters out the status information of traffic participants within the request range and within the valid time based on the real-time perception results, including but not limited to: quantity, size information, speed information, acceleration information, heading angle information, etc.

[0091] For the fused perception information of roadside equipment, after the roadside RSU1 receives the perception information sent by the target vehicle, it integrates it according to its own perception results to obtain the full-area perception results around the vehicle.

[0092] The roadside device ends the perception request. When the target vehicle leaves the roadside perception area, the roadside stops sending perception sharing request information.

[0093] The present application embodiment provides a roadside equipment data processing method for a vehicle such as Figure 2 As shown, a schematic flow chart of a method for processing roadside equipment data in an embodiment of the present application is provided, and the method at least includes the following steps S210 to S220:

[0094] Step S210: receiving perception sharing request information when entering the perception area and causing a perception blind spot for the roadside device.

[0095] For a vehicle, when it enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot for the roadside equipment, it will receive the perception sharing request information.

[0096] The perception sharing request information is mainly used to fill in the blind spots of the blocked areas. Considering that the vehicle is in the process of driving, the perception sharing request information changes based on the current blind spot range and target time interval of the roadside equipment. For example, the information of the blind spot range A at the current moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the current moment, and the information of the blind spot range B at the next moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the next moment.

[0097] Step S220: Send a first perception result in response to the perception sharing request information to the roadside device, so that the first perception result is merged with the second perception result to obtain a global perception result, wherein the second perception result is provided by the roadside device.

[0098] For the vehicle, a first perception result in response to the perception sharing request information is sent to the roadside device, so that the first perception result is merged with the second perception result. Generally speaking, the first perception result of the perception sharing request information is the information perceived by the vehicle through its own perception device, and the perception result is returned to the roadside device that sent the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0099] By fusing the first perception result with the second perception result, a global perception result is obtained, which can then be sent as guidance information to related vehicles that need to be coordinated.

[0100] Furthermore, the first perception result is provided by the vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the roadside device. The second perception result may be provided by multiple roadside devices, and the first perception result may also be provided by multiple target vehicles.

[0101] Of course, if there is only one vehicle at present and it only causes a blind spot for one roadside device, the first perception result is provided by the current vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the current roadside device.

[0102] The present application embodiment also provides a roadside equipment data processing device 300, which is used for roadside equipment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a schematic diagram of the structure of a roadside equipment data processing device in an embodiment of the present application is provided, wherein the roadside equipment data processing device 300 at least includes: a detection module 310, a data request module 320, a data receiving module 330 and a data fusion module 340, wherein:

[0103] In one embodiment of the present application, the detection module 310 is specifically used to detect whether a vehicle enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside device.

[0104] The roadside equipment in the roadside node has a perception function and a V2X communication function. Therefore, the roadside equipment detects in real time whether a vehicle has entered the perception area (which can be the perception area of ​​a single roadside equipment or the perception overlapping area of ​​multiple roadside equipment), and causes the roadside equipment to have a perception blind spot. In other words, at this time, the "vehicle" has entered the perception area and caused the roadside equipment to have a perception blind spot.

[0105] It is understandable that the vehicle may include multiple vehicles with the same or different driving directions. The reason why the vehicle causes the perception blind spot of the roadside equipment is mainly because it blocks or interferes with the sensor of the roadside equipment. Specifically, the blockage may include but is not limited to the blockage of the camera's field of view (such as a high vehicle body) and the blockage of the laser radar's perception range. Interference includes but is not limited to interference with radio frequency signals, interference with millimeter wave radar ranging, interference with fisheye camera distortion, interference due to weather reasons, etc. For example, interference caused by rain, strong wind, thunder and lightning weather, etc.

[0106] For example, the vehicle is a large cargo vehicle, which is long, high and wide. When the vehicle enters the sensing area, it will first be sensed by the sensing device of the roadside device. Secondly, if the roadside device finds that it has caused obstruction or interference, it will be considered that a sensing blind spot has appeared. It should be noted that the sensing blind spot changes in real time and the size of the blind spot will also change as the vehicle moves.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present application, the data request module 320 is specifically used to: if yes, send perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0108] If the roadside device detects a target vehicle that enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot in the roadside device, it will send a perception sharing request message to the target vehicle.

[0109] The target vehicle can be the vehicle that enters the sensing area and causes the roadside device to have a sensing blind spot, or it can be other vehicles, as long as it meets the requirement of being able to sense the sharing request information. That is, when selecting the target vehicle, it can be selected from the "vehicle" in the above steps, or it can be other vehicles that meet the conditions of sensing the sharing request information.

[0110] It should be noted that the perception sharing request information sent to the target vehicle can be sent by periodic broadcasting. Furthermore, it is necessary to obtain the position information, vehicle speed, acceleration, yaw angle, etc. of the target vehicle.

[0111] The perception sharing request information is mainly used to fill in the blind spots of the blocked areas. Considering that the vehicle is in the process of driving, the perception sharing request information changes based on the current blind spot range and target time interval of the roadside equipment. For example, the information of the blind spot range A at the current moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the current moment, and the information of the blind spot range B at the next moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the next moment.

[0112] In one embodiment of the present application, the data receiving module 330 is specifically used to: receive a first perception result sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information.

[0113] A first perception result sent by the target vehicle in response to the perception sharing request information is received, and the roadside device that receives the first perception result is the roadside device in which the perception blind spot appeared at the last moment.

[0114] In addition, the perception sharing request information is information perceived by the target vehicle through its own perception device, and the perception result is returned to the roadside device that sent the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0115] In one embodiment of the present application, the data fusion module 340 is specifically used to: fuse the first perception result with the second perception result to obtain a global perception result, wherein the first perception result is provided by the target vehicle and the second perception result is provided by the roadside equipment.

[0116] By fusing the first perception result with the second perception result, a global perception result is obtained, which can then be sent as guidance information to related vehicles that need to be coordinated.

[0117] Furthermore, the first perception result is provided by the target vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the roadside device. The second perception result may be provided by multiple roadside devices, and the first perception result may also be provided by multiple target vehicles.

[0118] Of course, if there is only one target vehicle at present and it only causes a blind spot for one roadside device, the first perception result is provided by the current target vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the current roadside device.

[0119] The present application embodiment also provides a roadside equipment data processing device 400 for a vehicle, such as Figure 4 As shown, a schematic diagram of the structure of a roadside equipment data processing device in an embodiment of the present application is provided, and the roadside equipment data processing device 400 at least includes: a receiving module 410 and a sending module 420, wherein:

[0120] In one embodiment of the present application, the receiving module 410 is specifically used to: receive perception sharing request information when entering a perception area and causing a perception blind spot in the roadside device.

[0121] For a vehicle, when it enters the perception area and causes a perception blind spot for the roadside equipment, it will receive the perception sharing request information.

[0122] The perception sharing request information is mainly used to fill in the blind spots of the blocked areas. Considering that the vehicle is in the process of driving, the perception sharing request information changes based on the current blind spot range and target time interval of the roadside equipment. For example, the information of the blind spot range A at the current moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the current moment, and the information of the blind spot range B at the next moment is used as the perception sharing request information at the next moment.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present application, the sending module 420 is specifically used to: send a first perception result in response to the perception sharing request information to the roadside device, so that the first perception result is merged with the second perception result to obtain a global perception result, wherein the second perception result is provided by the roadside device.

[0124] For the vehicle, a first perception result in response to the perception sharing request information is sent to the roadside device, so that the first perception result is merged with the second perception result. Generally speaking, the first perception result of the perception sharing request information is the information perceived by the vehicle through its own perception device, and the perception result is returned to the roadside device that sent the perception sharing request information to the target vehicle.

[0125] By fusing the first perception result with the second perception result, a global perception result is obtained, which can then be sent as guidance information to related vehicles that need to be coordinated.

[0126] Furthermore, the first perception result is provided by the vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the roadside device. The second perception result may be provided by multiple roadside devices, and the first perception result may also be provided by multiple target vehicles.

[0127] Of course, if there is only one vehicle at present and it only causes a blind spot for one roadside device, the first perception result is provided by the current vehicle, and the second perception result is provided by the current roadside device.
