[0002] In the driving process of a vehicle, comfort is a direct embodiment of driving quality under the premise of meeting safety. At present, the test method or evaluation method for driving comfort mainly relies on subjective results of automobile subjective evaluation engineers or user research, that is, through questionnaires or interviews to describe uncomfortable time and corresponding vehicle dynamic conditions in the automatic driving process, which lacks quantitative description of overall comfort degree, so that the evaluation result is not objective. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the defect that the comfort degree in the driving process of a vehicle cannot be quantitatively analyzed in the prior art, so as to provide a driving process comfort level evaluation method, device, equipment and medium.

Since the acceleration threshold and the jerk threshold corresponding to each uncomfortable level are the relatively objective reference values obtained in a large number of tests combined with the actual feelings of the passengers during the ride, the finally determined comfortable level during the driving is relatively objective and close to the actual feeling of the passengers. Subsequently, based on the comfortable level corresponding to the acceleration at each collection time, the comfortable level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time, the collection time of each acceleration, the collection time of each jerk and the driving time, the comfortable level during the driving is evaluated, which is equivalent to comprehensively evaluating the uncomfortable feeling caused by the jerk and the uncomfortable feeling caused by the acceleration during the whole driving, so as to obtain a relatively objective and accurate result for evaluating the comfortable level during the driving.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0038] The present application discloses a method for evaluating the comfort level in the driving process, which comprises the following steps:Figure 1 The method specifically comprises the following steps as shown in the figure:

[0039] Step S1: Real-time collection of the jerk and acceleration of the vehicle during vehicle driving.

[0040] Specifically, during vehicle driving, the acceleration of the vehicle can be collected in real time by using a vehicle-mounted digital video recording system or any instrument or tool capable of measuring acceleration, such as an accelerometer. The jerk, which is the rate of change of acceleration with respect to time, can be calculated according to the collected acceleration in real time. After the driving process ends, all the collected acceleration data and all the collected jerk data can be denoised, so that the processed data is more suitable for analysis and calculation.

[0041] Illustratively, after the acceleration data in the time domain and the jerk data in the time domain are obtained, the original data can be processed by using a wavelet filtering algorithm to remove high-frequency signals and extract low-frequency signals. After filtering, the data is more stable and smoother.

[0042] Step S2: Obtain the driving duration of the vehicle, the collection time of each jerk, and the collection time of each acceleration.

[0043] Specifically, during vehicle driving, the collection time of each acceleration is obtained while collecting the acceleration, and the collection time of each jerk is obtained while collecting the jerk. After the vehicle driving ends, the driving duration of the vehicle is obtained.

[0044] Step S3: Determine the comfort level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time based on the jerk at each collection time and the jerk threshold corresponding to each of the preset multiple comfort levels.

[0045] Illustratively, each comfort level corresponds to a jerk threshold. After the jerk data during vehicle driving is obtained, the jerk at each collection time can be compared with the multiple jerk thresholds, such as comparing the jerk at the current time with the multiple jerk thresholds to determine the jerk threshold interval in which the jerk at the current time is located, and determining the comfort level corresponding to the jerk at the current time according to the jerk level corresponding to the jerk threshold interval. The current time can be any of the multiple collection times of the jerk during vehicle driving.

[0046] Illustratively, the comfort level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time can also be obtained according to the jerk data at each collection time, the jerk threshold corresponding to each of the preset multiple comfort levels, and a comfort level prediction algorithm corresponding to the jerk.

[0047] Specifically, the preset acceleration threshold corresponding to each comfort level is obtained by collecting a large amount of test data of vehicle acceleration and comfort feeling in a large number of tests, and analyzing and processing the test data to obtain the acceleration threshold corresponding to each comfort level. The acceleration threshold corresponding to each comfort level obtained in this way reduces the influence of subjective factors, and therefore can be used as a relatively objective reference value.

[0048] Step S4: determining the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time based on the acceleration of each collection time and the preset acceleration threshold corresponding to each comfort level.

[0049] Specifically, similar to determining the comfort level of the jerk of each collection time, when determining the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time, the acceleration threshold interval in which the acceleration of the current time is located can be determined according to the acceleration of the current time and the acceleration threshold corresponding to each comfort level, and then the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of the current time is determined according to the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration threshold interval. The current time can be any one of the plurality of collection times of the acceleration during vehicle driving.

[0050] Specifically, when determining the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time, the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time can also be determined according to the acceleration of the current time, the acceleration threshold corresponding to each comfort level, and further combined with the comfort level prediction algorithm corresponding to the acceleration. The comfort level can have at least three levels, and the higher the level, the lower the comfort, i.e. the less comfortable.

[0051] Step S5: evaluating the comfort level during driving based on the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time, the comfort level corresponding to the jerk of each collection time, the collection time of each acceleration, the collection time of each jerk, and the driving time.

[0052] Specifically, after obtaining the comfort level corresponding to the jerk of each collection time and the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time, the first discomfort caused by the acceleration and the second discomfort caused by the jerk during the entire driving process can be determined by combining the collection time of each acceleration, the collection time of each jerk, and the driving time, and then the comfort level during vehicle driving is evaluated based on the first discomfort and the second discomfort.

[0053] Since the change range of acceleration and jerk in time domain is an important factor affecting the passenger's ride experience during the vehicle driving, the acceleration and jerk data collected in real time during the vehicle driving are combined with the acceleration threshold and the jerk threshold under each uncomfortable level to determine the comfortable level corresponding to the acceleration at each collection time and the comfortable level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time, so as to quantify the passenger's comfort during the driving. Since the acceleration threshold and the jerk threshold corresponding to each uncomfortable level are the relatively objective reference values obtained in a large number of tests combined with the actual feeling of the passenger's physiology and psychology during the ride, the finally determined comfortable level during the driving is relatively objective and close to the actual feeling of the passenger. Then, based on the comfortable level corresponding to the acceleration at each collection time, the comfortable level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time, the collection time of each acceleration, the collection time of each jerk and the driving time, the comfortable level during the driving is evaluated, which is equivalent to comprehensively evaluating the uncomfortable feeling caused by the jerk and the uncomfortable feeling caused by the acceleration during the whole driving, so as to obtain a relatively objective and accurate result for evaluating the comfortable level during the driving. By using the above technical means, the present application solves the too subjective defect of the comfort evaluation during the driving in the prior art, realizes the quantification of the comfort, and makes the evaluation of the comfort during the vehicle driving more intuitive.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the comfortable level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time is determined based on the jerk at each collection time and the jerk threshold corresponding to each comfortable level.

[0055] The jerk at each collection time and each jerk threshold are input into the first level evaluation algorithm to determine the comfortable level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time.

[0056] The first level evaluation algorithm is represented by the following formula:

[0057]

[0058] wherein, D jerk represents the comfortable level corresponding to the jerk at the current time, jerk represents the jerk at the current time, the current time is any time during the vehicle driving, jerk i represents the jerk threshold corresponding to the i-th comfortable level, n represents the highest comfortable level, and sgn() represents the sign function.

[0059] Exemplarily, the comfort level and the jerk threshold value are one-to-one corresponding, and in general, the uncomfortable level is at least level 3, i.e., the jerk threshold value is at least 3. When it is needed to determine the comfort level corresponding to the jerk at a certain collection time, the jerk at the collection time and each jerk threshold value are input into the first level evaluation algorithm, and the comfort level corresponding to the jerk at the collection time can be obtained. The higher the comfort level is, the more intense the uncomfortable feeling is. For example, when D jerk = 0, it can be represented that the comfort level at the current time is level 0, and the passenger feels comfortable. When D jerk = 1, it is represented that the comfort level at the current time is level 1, and the passenger feels less comfortable. When D jerk = 2, it is represented that the comfort level at the current time is level 2, and the passenger feels very uncomfortable. The acceleration at each collection time in the driving process is input into the second level evaluation algorithm corresponding to the interval, and the time distribution diagram of the comfort level corresponding to the jerk at each collection time in the driving process can be obtained, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0060] Because the acceleration of different sizes brings different physiological and psychological feelings. For example, when the acceleration is small, although there is some discomfort in physiology, there is no psychological discomfort, but when the acceleration is too large, there is obvious discomfort in physiology, and because the acceleration is too large, it will cause anxiety and panic in psychology, and this psychological discomfort will also reflect in physiology, so that the physiological discomfort will be intensified. Therefore, the acceleration can be divided into intervals according to the size of the acceleration. And in each acceleration interval, the corresponding comfort level is set according to the critical point where the obvious comfort changes, and the acceleration threshold value matched with the comfort level is obtained.

[0061] Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration at each collection time is determined based on the acceleration at each collection time and the acceleration threshold value corresponding to the preset multiple comfort levels, and the specific determination steps are shown in Figure 3 , and include:

[0062] Step S31: determining the acceleration interval in which the acceleration at each collection time is located, and obtaining all acceleration threshold values in the interval; wherein the acceleration interval includes multiple comfort levels, and each comfort level corresponds to an acceleration threshold value.

[0063] Step S32: determining the second level evaluation algorithm corresponding to the acceleration interval according to the acceleration interval in which the first collection time is located; wherein the first collection time is any collection time in the time when the acceleration is collected in the driving time of the vehicle.

[0064] Step S33: input the acceleration at the first collection time and the acceleration threshold corresponding to the multiple comfort levels included in the acceleration interval into the second level evaluation algorithm, to obtain the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration at the first collection time.

[0065] Specifically, when the output result is D a =0, it indicates that the comfort level at the current time is level 0, and the passenger feels comfortable. When the output result is D a =1, it indicates that the comfort level at the current time is level 1, and the passenger feels less comfortable. When the output result is D a =2, it indicates that the comfort level at the current time is level 2, and the passenger feels very uncomfortable.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the acceleration interval includes a first acceleration interval, a second acceleration interval, and a third acceleration interval.

[0067] The second level evaluation algorithm corresponding to the first acceleration interval is represented by the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] The second level evaluation algorithm corresponding to the second acceleration interval is represented by the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] The second level evaluation algorithm corresponding to the third acceleration interval is represented by the following formula:

[0072]

[0073] wherein, D a represents the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration at the current time, a represents the acceleration at the current time, the current time is any time during the vehicle driving process, a 1i represents the acceleration threshold corresponding to the i-th comfort level in the first acceleration interval, a 2i represents the acceleration threshold corresponding to the i-th comfort level in the second acceleration interval, a 3i represents the acceleration threshold corresponding to the i-th comfort level in the third acceleration interval, n represents the highest level of the comfort level, and sgn() represents the sign function.

[0074] Exemplarily, according to a large number of tests, it is generally considered that the first acceleration interval is (0, 40], the first acceleration interval is (40, 80], and the first acceleration interval is (80, 120], with the unit of km / h 2 .

[0075] The acceleration of each collection time and the acceleration threshold value of the corresponding interval are input into the second level evaluation algorithm of the corresponding interval, so that the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time in the driving process can be obtained. As shown in Figure 4 The time distribution of the acceleration comfort level in the driving process is an embodiment.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, based on the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time, the comfort level corresponding to the jerk of each collection time, the collection time of each acceleration, the collection time of each jerk, and the driving time, the comfort level in the driving process is evaluated, including:

[0077] Based on the comfort level corresponding to each acceleration, the collection time of each acceleration, and the driving time, the time proportion of the comfort level corresponding to the first group of accelerations in the driving time is determined, and the first group of accelerations is all accelerations corresponding to any comfort level in the plurality of comfort levels. Based on the comfort level corresponding to each jerk, the collection time of each jerk, and the driving time, the time proportion of the comfort level corresponding to the first group of jerks in the driving time is determined, and the first group of jerks is all jerks corresponding to any comfort level in the plurality of comfort levels. Based on the time proportion of each group of accelerations in the driving time and the time proportion of each group of jerks in the driving time, the comfort level in the driving process is evaluated.

[0078] Client Case Number

[0079] Exemplarily, first, the first group of accelerations in the first comfort level is determined according to the comfort level corresponding to the acceleration of each collection time; and the collection time corresponding to each acceleration in the first group of accelerations is obtained, and based on the collection time corresponding to each acceleration in the first group of accelerations, the time length of the comfort level in the first comfort level in the driving process is determined; and the time proportion of the first comfort level corresponding to the first group of accelerations in the driving process is determined according to the time length and the driving time. The first comfort level is any one of all comfort levels, and the first group of accelerations is composed of all accelerations in the first comfort level. In this way, the time proportion corresponding to each comfort level in the driving time can be obtained. The implementation mode of the time proportion of each comfort level is as follows:

[0080]

[0081] η a,i represents the time proportion of the acceleration comfort level in the driving process, t represents the driving time, and t leve1i represents the time length of the acceleration comfort level in the driving process.

[0082] Secondly, based on the comfort level corresponding to the jerkiness at each data collection moment, a first group of jerkiness levels at the first comfort level is determined. The data collection moment corresponding to each jerkiness level in the first group is then obtained. Based on the data collection moment corresponding to each jerkiness level in the first group, the duration of the jerkiness comfort level at the first comfort level during driving is determined. Based on this duration and the driving time, the proportion of time occupied by the first comfort level corresponding to the first group of jerkiness levels during driving is determined. Here, the first comfort level is any one of all comfort levels, and the first group of jerkiness levels consists of all jerkiness levels at the first comfort level. In this way, the time proportion corresponding to each comfort level in the driving time can be obtained. The specific implementation method of the time proportion of each comfort level is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Where, η jerk,j This indicates the percentage of time the vehicle's ride comfort level is set to Level 1 during driving, where t represents the driving duration. levelj This indicates the duration of the vehicle's driving experience when the dynamism comfort level is j.

[0085] Finally, the comfort index is determined based on the time proportion of the comfort level corresponding to each set of accelerations and the time proportion of the comfort level corresponding to each set of jerkiness during the driving time. The comfort level during the driving process is evaluated based on the interval in which the comfort index is located. The comfort level corresponds one-to-one with the comfort index interval, and the comfort index interval is divided based on the results of a large number of tests.

[0086]

[0087] Among them, P η For comfort index, k i For η a,i The weight of (the percentage of time spent at acceleration comfort level 1), k j For η jerk,j The weight of η (the percentage of time spent at the comfort level of urgency). a,i η represents the percentage of time during vehicle operation when the acceleration comfort level is at level 1. jerk,j c1 represents the percentage of time the vehicle is in the highest speed comfort level during driving, c2 represents the overall weight of the acceleration comfort level percentage, and c3 represents the overall weight of the dynamism comfort level percentage.
