Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of highway tunnel traffic safety technology, and in particular relates to a self-interpretive tunnel environment design method and system that takes into account the driver's situational awareness. Background Technology

[0002] Highway tunnels help shorten travel distances and improve transportation efficiency, but they also have disadvantages such as enclosed spaces and poor lighting, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. Furthermore, once an accident occurs in a tunnel, its severity can far exceed that of an accident on a regular highway. Traffic safety in tunnel sections has become a major social concern. Therefore, improving tunnel operational safety, enhancing the tunnel operating environment, and achieving low-cost improvements in both safety and traffic efficiency in highway tunnels is particularly necessary and urgent.

[0003] The inherent engineering characteristics of tunnel structures dictate that the operating environment varies at different locations within a tunnel section. Different environmental information affects drivers to varying degrees, leading to different driving behaviors. Existing tunnel environment designs lack guidance for drivers' understanding of their operating environment and their own driving behavior, hindering drivers from acquiring environmental information and thus better adjusting their driving behavior and strategies.

[0004] The inventors discovered that current research on improving tunnel safety and the tunnel operating environment mainly focuses on a single design factor of the tunnel. It rarely utilizes the concept of road self-explanation design to guide drivers to establish a correct understanding of the operating environment and their own driving behavior, nor does it consider the impact of the driver's situational awareness on the tunnel environment. As a result, the tunnel environment designed by these researchers has low safety and comfort levels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a self-explanatory tunnel environment design method and system that considers driver contextual awareness. This invention utilizes the concept of road self-explanatory design to improve the tunnel environment in a self-explanatory manner based on the environmental characteristics of different tunnel sections and the driver's contextual awareness, thereby enhancing the driving safety and comfort of tunnel sections.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a self-explanatory tunnel environment design method that takes into account the driver's situational awareness, comprising:

[0008] Based on the characteristics of the tunnel's operating environment, the tunnel is divided into multiple functional sections;

[0009] Based on the division of multiple functional zones, and combined with the driving changes in different functional zones of the tunnel, a situational awareness pattern of the driver in the tunnel environment is obtained through the situational awareness theory model; among them, the situational awareness theory model is a three-level situational awareness model or a distributed situational awareness model.

[0010] Based on the driver situational awareness schema and its relationship with self-explanatory design, the environmental self-explanatory design elements for different functional sections of the tunnel are obtained.

[0011] Based on the self-explanatory design elements of the environment, a set of design scenarios is obtained, and the final overall design scheme is obtained through orthogonal experiments to realize the design of the tunnel environment.

[0012] Furthermore, based on changes in visual perception, longitudinal illumination, alignment, road surface conditions, and driving environment, the functional sections of the tunnel are divided into variable sections, transition sections, and constant sections.

[0013] Furthermore, the driver's situational awareness schema includes three levels: environmental information perception, schema information understanding and comparison, prediction, and action.

[0014] Furthermore, during the driver's driving process, the new schema corresponding to the road environment ahead is obtained by modifying the old schema to adapt to the current environment under the guidance of the self-explanatory environmental design; according to the different situational awareness schemas of drivers in different functional sections of the tunnel, the self-explanatory design elements of the tunnel environment in different sections are defined to make the tunnel environment design conform to the driver's situational awareness schema.

[0015] Furthermore, for variable sections, mountain patterns are painted on the slopes of cut-and-cover tunnels and semi-cut-and-cover tunnels, and green plants are planted on the roadside of embankment tunnels and tunnels without cut-and-cover sections; for transition sections, colored pavement is used; and for constant sections, natural rhythmic sidewalls are used.

[0016] Furthermore, for cut-and-cover tunnels and semi-fill / semi-cut tunnels, two schemes were proposed: one with no slope on the mountain pattern and the other with a moderate slope towards the entrance and exit. For embankment tunnels and tunnels without fill or excavation, two schemes were proposed: one where tree planting gradually thins out from the tunnel entrance to the direction away from the entrance, and another where the lateral distance between planting positions gradually increases from the tunnel entrance to the direction away from the entrance. For colored pavement, two schemes were proposed: a gradient block paving of light gray, yellow, and green, and a marking paving of red, yellow, and green. For the tunnel's natural rhythm sidewalls, two color schemes were proposed: white and blue, and yellow and green. Orthogonal real-vehicle experiments and driving simulation experiments were designed for different design scenarios to obtain the final overall design scheme.

[0017] Furthermore, the driver's situational awareness level in a tunnel environment is predicted. The driver's situational awareness level in a tunnel section is equal to the sum of the situational awareness levels in the variable section, the transition section, and the constant section. For a single functional section, the driver's situational awareness level is calculated as follows:

[0018] L i =β i V i / A i C i

[0019]

[0020] Where, β i V represents the probability of an environmental element appearing. i A represents the relative importance of environmental elements within the environment. i To improve the accuracy of drivers' situational predictions, v 实际 v represents the actual speed of the vehicle. 感知 Design speed for the road section; C i The complexity of environmental elements;

[0021]

[0022] h i =-e i lne i -(1-e i )ln(1-e i )

[0023]

[0024] Among them, h i For e i Information entropy; e i The importance of environmental elements in the current driving task; This refers to the driver's awareness of environmental elements.

[0025] Secondly, the present invention also provides a self-explanatory tunnel environment design system that takes into account the driver's situational awareness, comprising:

[0026] The functional section division module is configured to divide the tunnel into multiple functional sections based on the characteristics of the tunnel's operating environment.

[0027] The schema acquisition module is configured to: based on the division of multiple functional sections, and through the situational awareness theory model, combined with the driving changes in different functional sections of the tunnel, obtain the driver's situational awareness schema in the tunnel environment; wherein, the situational awareness theory model is a three-level situational awareness model or a distributed situational awareness model;

[0028] The self-explanatory module is configured to: obtain the environmental self-explanatory design elements of different functional sections of the tunnel based on the driver's situational awareness schema and its relationship with the self-explanatory design;

[0029] The design module is configured to: obtain a set of design scenarios based on self-explanatory design elements of the environment, obtain the final overall design scheme through orthogonal experiments, and realize the design of the tunnel environment.

[0030] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the self-interpretive tunnel environment design method considering driver contextual awareness as described in the first aspect.

[0031] Fourthly, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the steps of the self-interpretive tunnel environment design method considering driver contextual awareness described in the first aspect.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] 1. This invention utilizes the concept of road self-explanation design to improve the tunnel environment in a self-explanatory manner based on the environmental characteristics of different tunnel sections and the driver's situational awareness, thereby improving the driving safety and comfort of tunnel sections.

In this invention, by utilizing an environment with good self-explanatory effect, the driver can easily and accurately judge the environmental conditions, improve the compatibility between the driver's understanding of the environment ahead and the real environment, improve the driver's situational awareness level, and can prompt the driver to take driving behaviors that are in line with the current environmental conditions.

[0043] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0045] Example 1:

[0046] This embodiment provides a self-explanatory tunnel environment design method that considers driver contextual awareness, including:

[0047] Based on the characteristics of the tunnel's operating environment, the tunnel is divided into multiple functional sections;

[0048] Based on the division of multiple functional zones, and combined with the driving changes in different functional zones of the tunnel, a situational awareness pattern of the driver in the tunnel environment is obtained through the situational awareness theory model; among them, the situational awareness theory model is a three-level situational awareness model or a distributed situational awareness model.

[0049] Based on the driver situational awareness schema and its relationship with self-explanatory design, the environmental self-explanatory design elements for different functional sections of the tunnel are obtained.

[0050] Based on the self-explanatory design elements of the environment, a set of design scenarios is obtained, and the final overall design scheme is obtained through orthogonal experiments to realize the design of the tunnel environment.

[0051] This embodiment utilizes the concept of self-explanatory road design. Based on the environmental characteristics of different tunnel sections and the driver's situational awareness, it performs self-explanatory improvements to the tunnel environment, thereby enhancing driving safety and comfort in tunnel sections. The specific steps of this embodiment's self-explanatory tunnel environment design method, which considers the driver's situational awareness, are as follows:

[0052] S1. Analyze the multi-dimensional operating environment characteristics of highway tunnels and divide the tunnel functional sections;

[0053] S1.1 Analyze the multi-dimensional environment of the tunnel section to clarify the different environmental characteristics of the tunnel entrance and exit and the tunnel interior, including the many external interference factors, the differences in speed limit conditions, road surface adhesion coefficient and illuminance inside and outside the tunnel, and the low illuminance, high noise and easy sidewall effect inside the tunnel.

[0054] S1.2 Based on the aforementioned operating environment characteristics, and according to changes in visual perception, tunnel longitudinal illumination, alignment, road surface conditions, and driving environment, the longitudinal functional sections of the tunnel are divided into three types: variable section, transition section, and constant section. At the entrance of the variable section, the driver's visual perception changes from the open roadside environment of the original highway mainline to the narrow environment of the tunnel, while the opposite is true at the exit. The transition section is characterized by the transition between light and dark at the tunnel entrance, the transition between the width of the road surface inside and outside the entrance and exit due to the absence of a hard shoulder in the tunnel, and the transition of the road surface adhesion coefficient. There is no difference in the driving environment within the constant section.

[0055] S2. Determine the lengths of different functional sections of the tunnel and establish a tunnel segmentation model;

[0056] S2.1 The driver's reaction time is generally 0.3 to 0.5 seconds. Combined with the vehicle's operating speed, the length of the variable section in the longitudinal space of the tunnel is obtained.

[0057] S2.2 According to the speed limit sign placement location and tunnel lighting section specified in the "Highway Tunnel Design Code" and "Highway Tunnel Lighting Design Details", the 200m section before the tunnel entrance, the 200m section after the tunnel exit, and the tunnel lighting entrance section, transition section and exit section can be divided into the longitudinal spatial transition section of the tunnel.

[0058] S2.3. According to the lighting sections inside the tunnel specified in the "Detailed Rules for Lighting Design of Highway Tunnels", the middle section of the tunnel lighting can be divided into a section with unchanged longitudinal space.

[0059] S2.4. Establish a tunnel segmentation model based on the length of each functional section of the tunnel.

[0060] S3. Based on the functional sections of the tunnel, introduce the situational awareness theoretical model, and combine the driving changes in different functional sections of the tunnel to propose a driver situational awareness pattern in the tunnel environment.

[0061] S3.1 Based on the three-level situational awareness model and the distributed situational awareness model, and combined with the driver's cognition, reaction, and decision-making processes, the driver's situational awareness schema is divided into three levels: environmental information perception, schema information understanding and comparison, and prediction and action. Specifically, the three-level model is a feedback loop for perceiving environmental elements, understanding the current situation, and predicting the future state. The distributed situational awareness model is based on the fact that people are more likely to recognize information consistent with the schema. When the schema is activated, it recognizes information in the current environment and generates predictions for the subsequent environment. If no information consistent with the schema is recognized, the schema will continuously correct itself and guide the recognition in a loop.

[0062] S3.2 During driving, the driver's situational awareness is affected by environmental information. The operating environment changes with time and space and is phased. The environmental information presented to the driver is different at different stages, and the driver's situational awareness is also different. According to the three levels of the driver's situational awareness schema, the driver's situational awareness schema for the variable section, transition section and constant section of the tunnel longitudinal space is summarized respectively. The driver's situational awareness in different sections of the tunnel is visualized, and the environmental information is matched with the driver's situational awareness schema as much as possible: the driver obtains environmental information through perception and compares it with the original schema of tunnel driving environment information in the brain. If they match, the original schema is maintained. If they do not match, the original schema is modified and corresponding behavioral measures are taken accordingly.

[0063] S4. Based on the driver situational awareness schema and its relationship with self-explanatory design, the environmental self-explanatory design elements for different functional sections of the tunnel are obtained.

[0064] S4.1 Analyze the relationship between self-explanatory environmental design and driver situational awareness schema: During driving, the new schema corresponding to the road environment ahead is obtained by modifying the old schema to adapt to the current environment under the guidance of self-explanatory environmental design. The two are coherent in content, which enables the driver to accurately grasp the new environment and the behavior guided by the schema is correct.

[0065] S4.2. Based on the different situational awareness schemas of drivers in different functional sections of the tunnel, define the self-explanatory design elements of the tunnel environment in different sections, make reasonable use of different stimuli, and make the tunnel environment design conform to the situational awareness schemas of drivers, so that drivers have high-quality attention resources.

[0066] S4.3 The self-explanatory design elements of the longitudinal space variable section of the tunnel should remind drivers of changes in road alignment. Mountain patterns can be drawn on the slopes of cut-and-cover tunnels and semi-cut-and-cover tunnels. Green plants can be planted on the roadside of embankment tunnels and tunnels without cut-and-cover sections to improve the driving environment and enable drivers to actively recognize the change from ordinary road sections to tunnel sections or from tunnel sections to ordinary road sections, thus guiding changes in driving behavior.

[0067] S4.4 The environmental self-explanatory design elements of the tunnel longitudinal space transition section need to alert drivers. Colored pavement can be used to effectively avoid drivers’ nervous driving when entering the tunnel and sudden acceleration when exiting the tunnel, so as to achieve autonomous and smooth changes in driving behavior.

[0068] S4.5. The self-explanatory design elements of the tunnel's longitudinal space invariant section need to improve the tunnel's internal environment and alleviate visual fatigue. Natural rhythmic sidewalls can be used to effectively adjust the monotony of the tunnel's operating environment and reduce the probability of normal driving behavior turning into bad driving behavior.

[0069] S5. The required indicators are obtained based on vehicle speed data and driver eye movement data to establish a predictive model for the driver's situational awareness level in a tunnel environment.

[0070] S5.1. Based on the driver's eye movement data, obtain the percentage of driver fixation frequency and the percentage of driver fixation duration. Use the percentage of driver fixation frequency to characterize the probability β of the occurrence of environmental elements. i The percentage of time a driver gazes at an object represents the importance of environmental elements in the current driving task. i The complexity of environmental elements C i Based on the vehicle's operating speed and the road section's design speed, the accuracy A of the driver's predictions based on situational awareness is obtained. i ;

[0071] S5.2 For a single spatial segment, the sub-step for calculating the driver's situational awareness level is based on equation (1):

[0072] L i =β i V i / A i C i (1)

[0073] in: v 实际 v represents the actual speed of the vehicle. 感知 Design speed for the road segment; β i V refers to the probability of an environmental element appearing; i This refers to the relative importance of environmental elements within the environment; A i The accuracy of a driver's predictions based on situational awareness; C i This refers to the complexity of environmental elements.

[0074] S5.3, The sub-step for calculating the relative importance of environmental elements in the environment is based on equations (2), (3), and (4):

[0075]

[0076] h i =-e i lne i -(1-e i )ln(1-e i (3)

[0077]

[0078] Among them, V i h represents the relative importance of environmental elements within the environment. i For e i Information entropy; e i The importance of environmental elements in the current driving task; This refers to the driver's awareness of environmental elements.

[0079] S5.4, The sub-step for calculating the situational awareness level of drivers in tunnel sections is based on equation (5):

[0080] L SA =L1+L2+L3 (5)

[0081] Among them, L SA L1 represents the situational awareness level of the driver in the tunnel section; L2 represents the situational awareness level in the tunnel space variable section; L3 represents the situational awareness level in the tunnel space transition section; and L4 represents the situational awareness level in the tunnel space constant section.

[0082] S6. Set up different design scenario sets for the design elements, and obtain the final overall design scheme through orthogonal experiments.

[0083] S6.1 For road cut type and semi-fill and semi-cut type tunnels, two schemes are set: the mountain pattern is not inclined and the pattern is moderately inclined towards the entrance and exit. For embankment type and non-fill and non-cut type tunnels, two schemes are set: the planting of trees gradually becomes sparse from the tunnel entrance to the direction away from the tunnel entrance and the planting position gradually increases laterally from the tunnel entrance to the direction away from the tunnel entrance.

[0084] S6.2. Two schemes are provided for colored pavement: gradient block paving in light gray, yellow and green, and marking paving in red, yellow and green.

[0085] S6.3 The tunnel's side walls, designed to mimic natural rhythms, feature two color schemes: white and blue, and yellow and green.

[0086] S6.4 Design orthogonal real vehicle experiments and driving simulation experiments for different design scenario sets to obtain the final overall design scheme.
