[0017] Figure 6 An exemplary configuration of a computing device that can implement embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated schematically. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following detailed description is based on the accompanying drawings and provides various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure to aid in a comprehensive understanding. Various details are included in the following description to aid understanding; however, these details are considered exemplary only and not intended to limit the present disclosure, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. The words and phrases used in the following description are intended only to provide a clear and consistent understanding of the present disclosure. Additionally, descriptions of well-known structures, functions, and configurations may have been omitted for clarity and brevity. Those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the examples described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0019] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, exemplary embodiments of the vehicle-road cooperative testing technology of this disclosure.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a vehicle-road cooperative testing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1The vehicle-road cooperative testing system 100, schematically shown in the diagram, includes: a closed testing area, at least one roadside unit (RSU) installed in the closed testing area, a V2X communication system, and test vehicles, etc. Additionally, Figure 1 Although not shown in the diagram, the actual test vehicle was equipped with an OBU (On Board Unit) terminal. The test vehicle received data from the roadside RSU via the V2X communication system through the OBU terminal to perform test tasks. Figure 1 In this context, roadside RSUs are installed on traffic signal poles, but it should be understood that, as needed, roadside RSUs can be installed in any location within a closed test area in various ways.

[0021] The closed test track provides a realistic hardware-in-the-loop environment for vehicle-road cooperative testing, mainly including static environmental elements, dynamic traffic elements, and roadside unit elements. Static elements are those whose state within the closed test track does not change over time, such as road guide lines, road signs, streetlights, buildings, and greenery. Dynamic traffic elements are elements with dynamic characteristics involved in traffic behavior, such as pedestrians, vehicles, and other moving bodies. Roadside unit elements include cameras, LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and V2X communication equipment. Furthermore, the closed test track is used to reproduce various real-world road environments, and sometimes weather factors also need to be considered. It should be noted that... Figure 1 For ease of understanding, only the elements involved in the test method of this disclosure are shown, while other elements not involved are omitted.

[0022] V2X (Vehicle-to-X) communication systems are a key technology for future intelligent transportation systems. They enable communication between vehicles, between vehicles and base stations, and between base stations. This allows for the acquisition of real-time traffic conditions, road information, pedestrian information, and other traffic data, thereby improving driving safety, reducing congestion, increasing traffic efficiency, and providing in-vehicle entertainment information. As crucial equipment for intelligent road upgrades in V2X scenarios, 4G / 5G base stations, RSUs (Roadside Units), and OBUs (On-Board Units) are used for data communication between vehicles and the road, transmitting various information to vehicles and cloud servers. This ensures the timely transmission of massive amounts of information such as traffic lights, traffic signs, parking locations, and vehicle status, enabling applications such as speed guidance, speed limit warnings, and congestion alerts in V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) scenarios, and providing services for assisted driving and autonomous driving.

[0023] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a vehicle-road cooperative testing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2The vehicle-road system testing methods shown can be performed, for example, by a V2X communication device (vehicle-road cooperative testing device) that is a type of roadside RSU. However, it should be understood that all or part of these processes can of course be completed by the V2X communication device in collaboration with a cloud server.

[0024] Before the test begins, a closed test site, V2X communication system, and simulation environment are set up according to the test content. Multiple rounds of on-site data collection are carried out in the set-up closed test site using data collection vehicles. Based on the collected traffic environment data, combined with semantic annotation information and road information drawn by road modeling tools, a twin high-precision map of the closed test site is constructed.

[0025] After generating a high-precision map of the closed test site, begin Figure 2 The vehicle-road cooperative testing method of this disclosure is shown in embodiment S1001. In step S1001, a 3D twin scene is constructed using virtual engine technology based on the generated twin high-precision map. In this disclosure, in addition to converting the real hardware-in-the-loop environment into a 3D twin scene based on the high-precision map and virtual engine technology, the generated 3D twin scene also integrates simulated camera sensors, simulated LiDAR modules, and simulated traffic signal modules. It outputs twin scene images, twin point cloud data, and simulated traffic control information (e.g., traffic lights, road signs, forward fault warnings, etc.) to expand the real-world traffic information and generate various test cases.

[0026] Then, in step S1002, the measured point cloud data obtained in real time by the roadside / vehicle-side lidar sensor is enhanced in real time using twin point cloud data to generate enhanced point cloud data.

[0027] LiDAR sensors detect targets by emitting laser beams and collect the beams reflected back by the targets to form point clouds, thus acquiring point cloud data. This point cloud data can be processed to generate accurate three-dimensional images. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a visualization of the point cloud of a lidar sensor, primarily depicting whether there are obstacles obstructing the view ahead.

[0028] In this disclosure, enhanced point cloud data is generated by overlaying point cloud occlusion data of the real scene and the twin simulation scene. In some embodiments, after obtaining the twin point cloud data matrix X1 of the simulated LiDAR sensor in the twin scene output in step S1001 above, and the measured LiDAR sensor point cloud data matrix X2 collected in real time by the roadside / vehicle-side LiDAR sensor, coordinate system one is established, and then the measured LiDAR sensor point cloud data matrix X2 and the twin point cloud data matrix X1 are subjected to union processing.

[0029] As a specific embodiment, this disclosure simplifies the point cloud data matrix, using a 3*3 matrix to represent point cloud occlusion data, where "0" represents non-occlusion and "1" represents occlusion.

[0030] For example, let the occlusion point cloud acquired in real time in the real environment be... Twin point cloud occlusion data The enhanced point cloud occlusion data obtained by union processing is:

[0031]

[0032] return Figure 2 As explained in step S1003, the twin scene image data output in step S1001 is used to perform real-time image enhancement on the measured image data obtained in real time through the roadside / vehicle-end image acquisition unit, thereby generating enhanced image data.

[0033] In some embodiments, twin scene image data may include information about opposing vehicles, pedestrians, or other moving objects, and their trajectories. Figure 4 As shown on the left, firstly, models of vehicles, pedestrians, and other moving objects are constructed using 3D modeling software (such as 3ds Max). Then, an object detection algorithm is trained by labeling the twin positions and poses of vehicles, pedestrians, and other moving objects in the simulated twin world, and by training an obstacle detection model on the twin road using deep learning techniques such as YOLOv3 and R-CNN. Then, as... Figure 4 As shown in the middle, real video streams are output in real time by cameras mounted on the side of the vehicle / roadside. The position and posture information of the twin is extracted by the target detection algorithm based on the case scene of the twin scene simulation. The twin scene image data and the measured image data are superimposed using the texture fusion method to generate enhanced image data.

[0034] It should be noted that the execution order of steps S1002 and S1003 can be interchanged, i.e., image enhancement processing is performed first and point cloud data enhancement processing is performed later, or image enhancement processing and point cloud data enhancement processing can be performed in parallel.

[0035] After generating enhanced point cloud data and enhanced image data, in step S1004, the enhanced point cloud data, enhanced image data, and simulated traffic control information output in step S1001 are sent to the test vehicle via the V2X communication system. Then, the test vehicle drives in a closed test area based on the received enhanced point cloud data, enhanced image data, and simulated traffic control information to complete the test.

[0036] It should be noted that, to avoid conflicts with traffic control signals such as traffic lights in actual closed test tracks, the traffic control devices in the actual test tracks were turned off during the real-vehicle testing process disclosed in this disclosure. It should be understood that if the actual traffic control devices in the closed test tracks were turned on during the test, an arbitration mechanism would be needed to prevent conflicts between simulated traffic control signals and actual control signals.

[0037] In some embodiments, the V2X communication device can directly send enhanced point cloud data, enhanced image data, and simulated traffic control information to the test vehicle via wireless communication. Alternatively, the V2X communication device can also upload enhanced point cloud data, enhanced image data, and simulated traffic control information to a cloud server via a 4G / 5G base station, and then the cloud server can send them to the test vehicle.

[0038] The above description, as an example, illustrates the entire process of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) testing performed by a V2X communication device acting as a roadside RSU. In some embodiments, a portion of the processing performed by the V2X communication device can also be performed by a cloud server. For example, the cloud server can acquire data collected from a closed test site and construct a twin high-precision map through semantic annotation. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the cloud server can build a 3D twin road network and integrate simulated camera sensors, simulated LiDAR modules, and simulated traffic signal modules. Additionally, in some embodiments, the V2X communication device can upload the measured point cloud data acquired in real-time by the roadside / vehicle-side LiDAR sensor and the measured image data acquired in real-time by the roadside / vehicle-side image acquisition unit to the cloud server, whereby the cloud server completes steps S1002 and S1003.

[0039] According to the vehicle-road cooperative testing method disclosed herein, a combination of real-world and virtual scenarios can be used to rapidly expand test cases and improve the security and reliability of the testing system. Furthermore, compared to software twin simulation, all test scenarios in this disclosure are based on real vehicle-road cooperative network environments, more faithfully reflecting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) scenarios affected by factors such as network latency and signal coverage, thus providing superior test support.

[0040] Furthermore, according to publicly available vehicle-road cooperative testing methods, simulations based on point cloud simulation and traffic twins offer greater configurability and lower hardware costs. The virtual-real hybrid testing method proposed in this disclosure can reduce the hardware costs of building traffic facilities for various typical cases. Simultaneously, since dynamic scene elements are configured within the software simulation, it offers advantages such as ease of operation and flexibility.

[0041] Furthermore, based on publicly available vehicle-road cooperative testing methods, the simulated traffic control signals and vehicle warning messages from twin simulations were integrated with the real test site, greatly enriching the traffic control test cases and further reducing hardware costs.
