[0002] With the continuous development of automobile technology, adaptive cruise control has become a standard feature of many high-end cars. This intelligent driving system can obtain real-time information about the vehicle's surrounding environment through sensors such as radar and cameras, and automatically adjust the driving speed and distance according to factors such as vehicle speed and distance, thereby achieving autonomous cruising of the vehicle. The adaptive cruise control system can not only improve driving comfort and safety, but also reduce the risks caused by fatigue driving, giving drivers a better driving experience.
[0003] The current adaptive cruise control system has evolved from the initial high-speed working conditions and road conditions to full-speed working conditions and urban road conditions, but the existing technology is mainly focused on vehicle following and cruising on straight roads. In complex urban road environments, the adaptive cruise control system faces many technical challenges. For example, on urban roads, vehicles need to frequently change lanes, avoid obstacles, and alternate with other vehicles. These operations require accurate perception and analysis of the vehicle's surrounding environment in order to make correct decisions and control. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle following method at an intersection based on multi-sensor fusion, so as to realize automatic following of a target vehicle in front under different traffic scenarios at the intersection.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a technical solution: a vehicle following method at an intersection based on multi-sensor fusion, comprising the following steps:
[0006] S1. In the straight-ahead phase before turning at an intersection, the radar and camera are used to obtain the distance between the vehicle and the target vehicle in front of the vehicle, the distance between the vehicle and the traffic light at the intersection, and the state of the target vehicle's turn signal. Based on the distance between the vehicle and the target vehicle in front of the vehicle, the distance between the vehicle and the traffic light at the intersection, and the state of the target vehicle's turn signal, it is determined whether to enter the intersection following mode;
[0007] S2. After entering the intersection following mode, different following modes are selected according to whether the turn signal of the own vehicle and the target vehicle is turned on and the color of the forward or turn traffic light; in different following modes, the ego vehicle uses radar and camera to obtain the position and speed of the target vehicle relative to the ego vehicle, and combines the distance between the ego vehicle and the target vehicle in front of the ego vehicle, the distance between the ego vehicle and the traffic light at the intersection, the state of the target vehicle's turn signal, and the driving parameters of the ego vehicle obtained by using radar and camera in S1 to obtain the real-time collision time between the ego vehicle and the target vehicle in different following modes, and then control the speed of the ego vehicle according to the real-time collision time and the speed limit of the ego vehicle's driving section, and adjust the steering wheel angle of the ego vehicle according to the angle between the target vehicle and the driving angle of the ego vehicle;
[0008] S3. Determine whether to exit the intersection following mode according to the road signs recognized by the camera.
[0009] According to the above scheme, the specific judgment process conditions of whether to enter the intersection following mode in S1 are:
[0010] Take the rear bumper center of the target vehicle as the reference point of the target vehicle. In the straight-ahead phase before turning at the intersection, obtain the distance D1 between the vehicle and the traffic light at the intersection through the camera, and obtain the distance D2 between the vehicle and the target vehicle in front of the vehicle through the camera and radar. When the following conditions are met at the same time, enter the intersection following mode:
[0011] 1)D1 <D 1max ;
[0012] 2)D2 <D 2max ;
[0013] 3) The turn signals of the ego vehicle and the target vehicle are consistent;
[0014] Among them, D 1max , D 2max These are the preset distance values.
[0015] According to the above scheme, the following modes described in S2 include the first following mode, the second following mode, the third following mode, and the fourth following mode; in all following modes, the vehicle coordinate system is established, with the direction of the vehicle traveling as the positive x direction and the direction perpendicular to the x direction to the left as the positive y direction; the activation adjustment of each following mode is respectively,
[0016] When both the own vehicle and the target vehicle have no turn signal and the forward traffic light is green, the first following mode is selected; when both the own vehicle and the target vehicle have no turn signal and the forward traffic light is red, the second following mode is selected; when both the own vehicle and the target vehicle have turn signal and the left or right turn signal light is red, the third following mode is selected; when both the own vehicle and the target vehicle have turn signal and the left or right turn signal light is green, the fourth following mode is selected, and the fourth following mode includes a straight-ahead phase and a turning phase.
[0017] According to the above scheme, in the first following mode, the following operation performed by the vehicle is specifically as follows:
[0018] The component dx of the distance between the self-vehicle and the target vehicle in the x-direction, as well as the component vx of the speed of the target vehicle relative to the self-vehicle in the x-direction are obtained through the camera and radar, and TTC1=dx / vx is calculated; the speed of the self-vehicle is controlled so that the speed of the self-vehicle does not exceed the speed limit of the road section, and TTC1 is not lower than a preset time value.
[0019] According to the above scheme, in the second following mode or the third following mode, the following operation performed by the vehicle is specifically:
[0020] The x-component dx of the distance between the ego vehicle and the target vehicle and the x-component vx of the speed of the target vehicle relative to the ego vehicle are obtained through the camera and radar, and TTC1 = dx / vx is calculated; the distance dx between the ego vehicle and the stop line is obtained through the camera t , calculate TTC2 = dx t / egov, where egov is the current vehicle speed; the vehicle speed does not exceed the speed limit of the road section, and both TTC1 and TTC2 are greater than a preset time value.
[0021] According to the above scheme, in the straight-ahead phase of the fourth following mode, the following operation performed by the vehicle is the same as that of the first following mode. In the turning phase of the fourth following mode, the following operation performed by the vehicle is specifically:
[0022] First, the driving parameters vx, vy, dx, and dy of the current target vehicle relative to the ego vehicle are obtained through the camera and radar, and the absolute speed v of the target vehicle relative to the ground is obtained according to the ego vehicle speed egov and the ego vehicle rotation angular velocity w. abs ;Specifically,
[0023]
[0024] Among them, vy is the component of the target vehicle's velocity relative to the ego vehicle in the y direction, and dy is the component of the distance between the ego vehicle and the target vehicle in the y direction;

[0027] The absolute angular velocity of the target vehicle relative to the ground is w abs =v abs / L;
[0028] T is the duration of a sensor detection cycle. Assuming that the vehicle does not move from the current moment to the next sensor detection cycle after T time, the driving parameters of the target vehicle relative to the vehicle after T time are predicted to be dx′, dy′, vx′, and vy′. Specifically,

[0031] dx T =dx′-L*sin(w*T)
[0032] dy T =dy′-L+L*cos(w*T)
[0033]
[0034] The radar and camera measurements are then matched to the turning target vehicle. Specifically,
[0035] If the distance matching threshold in the straight-ahead phase of the fourth following mode is GATE, and half of the vehicle width length of the target vehicle is obtained as width, then the distance matching threshold in the turning phase of the fourth following mode is GATE+width;
[0036] Among all objects detected by the camera, objects whose distance to the vehicle is less than the distance matching threshold are regarded as candidate targets, and among all candidate targets, the candidate targets with the same target category as the target vehicle in the previous sensor detection cycle and the closest distance to the vehicle are regarded as target vehicles;
[0037] During the radar matching process, all objects detected by the radar whose distance to the vehicle is less than the distance matching threshold are selected as candidate targets. The radar measurement of the candidate targets is translated. If the target vehicle's turning direction predicted by the previous sensor detection cycle is a left turn, it is translated to the lower left, and if it is a right turn, it is translated to the lower right.

[0039] The vertical translation distance is
[0040] The radar measurements before and after the translation that are closest to the target vehicle's driving parameters relative to the self-vehicle predicted in the previous sensor detection cycle are taken as the matching result;
[0041] Finally, the target vehicle's driving parameters relative to the vehicle after matching are combined with the target vehicle's driving parameters relative to the vehicle predicted in the previous sensor detection cycle, and the driving parameters dx1, dy1, vx1, and vy1 of the target vehicle relative to the vehicle in this sensor detection cycle are obtained. The absolute speed v of the target vehicle relative to the ground in this sensor detection cycle is obtained. abs1 , the turning radius L1 of the target vehicle, the absolute rotational angular velocity w of the target vehicle relative to the ground abs1 , combined with the vehicle speed egov1 and the angular velocity w1 of the vehicle during this sensor detection cycle; assuming that the target vehicle is on the driving trajectory of the vehicle, then
[0042]
[0043] Make the vehicle speed not exceed the maximum speed required for turning, and make TTC3 greater than a preset time value. When following, adjust the steering wheel angle of the vehicle according to the angle between the vehicle and the target vehicle.
[0044] According to the above scheme, S3 specifically includes exiting the intersection following mode when the following conditions are met at the same time:
[0045] 1) The camera recognizes the lane line;
[0046] 2) The lane length is greater than D 2max ;
[0047] 3) There is no stop line within the camera's recognition range.

[0054] 3. In different following modes, the speed of the vehicle is controlled according to the real-time collision time and the speed limit of the road section where the vehicle is traveling, and the steering wheel angle of the vehicle is adjusted according to the angle between the target vehicle and the driving angle of the vehicle, so as to achieve more accurate vehicle following and improve the following effect.
