Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a braking control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With societal progress, the number of small cars on the road is increasing year by year, and the possibility of traffic accidents is also increasing. In order to reduce the possibility of collisions during driving, various control methods have been introduced into existing vehicles, such as voice, gestures, head movements and EEG signals, which combine multiple interactive technologies to increase the control of the vehicle.

[0003] A preliminary solution has been developed to control cars using brainwave signals, achieving "thought control" of driving behavior. Similar to the working principle of brain-computer interface systems, drivers wear special devices that capture brainwave signals, and the analysis of these signals determines the driver's control commands for the vehicle.

[0004] However, when a vehicle encounters a braking situation during driving, the situation is often urgent and unpredictable. Existing methods for vehicle braking control using EEG signals suffer from problems such as poor signal-to-noise ratio, low accuracy, and long delay, making it difficult to meet the needs of short-term accurate braking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a braking control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium that combines different types of information from electroencephalogram (EEG) data with information collected during vehicle operation to determine vehicle braking control information. This improves the accuracy and speed of vehicle braking information determination, thereby enhancing vehicle driving safety.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a braking control method, comprising:

[0007] Acquire current EEG data and radar point cloud data;

[0008] Brainwave braking control information is determined based on current brainwave data, and radar braking control information is determined based on radar point cloud data;

[0009] The vehicle braking control information is determined based on brainwave braking control information and radar braking control information, and the vehicle braking is controlled based on the vehicle braking control information.

[0010] The current EEG data includes emotional EEG information and control EEG information.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a braking control device, comprising:

[0012] The data acquisition module is used to acquire current EEG data and radar point cloud data;

[0013] The control information determination module is used to determine brainwave braking control information based on the current brainwave data and to determine radar braking control information based on radar point cloud data.

[0014] The braking control module is used to determine vehicle braking control information based on EEG braking control information and radar braking control information, and to control vehicle braking based on the vehicle braking control information.

[0015] The current EEG data includes emotional EEG information and control EEG information.

[0016] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a vehicle, the vehicle comprising:

[0017] Brain-computer interface is used to acquire current brainwave data;

[0018] LiDAR is used to acquire radar point cloud data;

[0019] One or more controllers;

[0020] Storage device for storing one or more programs;

[0021] When one or more programs are executed by one or more controllers, the one or more controllers implement the braking control method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the braking control method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] This invention provides a braking control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. The method involves acquiring current brainwave data and radar point cloud data; determining brainwave braking control information based on the current brainwave data and radar braking control information based on the radar point cloud data; determining vehicle braking control information based on the brainwave and radar braking control information; and controlling vehicle braking based on the vehicle braking control information. The current brainwave data includes emotional and control-related brainwave information. By employing this technical solution, brainwave braking control information is determined based on emotional and control-related brainwave information in the current brainwave data. The emotional brainwave information restricts the control-related brainwave information, making the determined brainwave braking control information more accurate. Simultaneously, the radar braking control information determined from the radar point cloud data is combined with the brainwave braking control information to jointly determine the vehicle braking control information. This dual-standard approach improves the accuracy of vehicle braking information determination, thereby enhancing driving safety.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Figure 1 The flowchart below shows a braking control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment of the present invention is applicable to situations where braking control of a vehicle is performed during vehicle driving. The method can be executed by a braking control device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware. The braking control device can be configured on a computer device, such as an on-board computer in the vehicle. This embodiment of the present invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the braking control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] S101. Obtain current EEG data and radar point cloud data.

[0037] The current EEG data includes emotional EEG information and control EEG information.

[0038] In this embodiment, the current EEG data can be specifically understood as the driver's EEG data information transmitted from the brain-computer interface to the vehicle's computer at the current moment, collected by EEG electrodes. The radar point cloud data can be specifically understood as the set of radar point data generated by the lidar installed on the vehicle to measure distances around the vehicle. Emotional EEG information can be specifically understood as information contained in the current EEG data that can indicate the human emotional state corresponding to the EEG. Control-related EEG information can be specifically understood as information contained in the current EEG data that can indicate the human's need to perform external control actions corresponding to the EEG.

[0039] Specifically, before the vehicle enters driving mode, a headgear with EEG electrodes is connected to the vehicle's onboard computer via a brain-computer interface. After the connection is established, the driver wears the headgear while driving, and the driver's brainwaves acquired at that moment are identified as the current EEG data. During driving, one or more lidar sensors installed on the vehicle simultaneously collect radar data to determine the distance between the vehicle and surrounding obstacles, thereby obtaining information about the vehicle's surrounding environment. The set of radar point data collected by the lidar at the current driving moment is identified as radar point cloud data.

[0040] S102. Determine brainwave braking control information based on current brainwave data, and determine radar braking control information based on radar point cloud data.

[0041] In this embodiment, brainwave braking control information can be specifically understood as information determined based on the driver's brainwaves, indicating that the driver possesses the information to control the vehicle's braking. Radar braking control information can be specifically understood as information determined based on radar point cloud information, indicating that the vehicle's surrounding environment requires braking control.

[0042] Specifically, the driver's emotional state is determined based on emotional EEG information from the current EEG data, and the driver's control needs are determined based on control-related EEG information from the same EEG data. Combining these control needs with the emotional state determines whether the driver currently requires braking control of the vehicle, thereby generating corresponding EEG braking control information. Simultaneously, radar point cloud data can be used to determine the vehicle's surrounding environment information at the current moment, and based on this information, it can be determined whether the vehicle currently requires braking control, generating radar braking control information corresponding to the radar point cloud data.

[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, the determination of brainwave braking control information is completed by combining emotional brainwave information and control brainwave information, which improves the accuracy of determining brainwave braking control information and better reflects the driver's driving will.

[0044] S103. Determine vehicle braking control information based on EEG braking control information and radar braking control information, and control vehicle braking based on vehicle braking control information.

[0045] In this embodiment, vehicle braking control information can be specifically understood as control commands that can be directly used to control the braking of the vehicle.

[0046] Specifically, when both brainwave braking control information and radar braking control information exist in the vehicle's computer, the braking control requirements contained in the two types of braking control information are combined to determine whether braking control of the vehicle is required at the current moment. If it is determined that braking control of the vehicle is required, vehicle braking control information is generated, and braking control is performed on the software and hardware in the vehicle used for braking based on the vehicle braking control information to control the vehicle to achieve braking.

[0047] The technical solution of this embodiment acquires current EEG data and radar point cloud data; determines EEG braking control information based on the current EEG data and radar braking control information based on the radar point cloud data; determines vehicle braking control information based on the EEG braking control information and radar braking control information, and controls vehicle braking based on the vehicle braking control information; wherein, the current EEG data includes emotional EEG information and control EEG information. By adopting the above technical solution, EEG braking control information is determined based on emotional and control EEG information in the current EEG data. The control EEG information is restricted by the emotional EEG information, making the determined EEG braking control information more accurate. At the same time, the radar braking control information determined by the radar point cloud data is combined with the EEG braking control information to jointly determine the vehicle braking control information. This dual standard is used to judge the vehicle braking demand, improving the accuracy of vehicle braking information determination and thus improving vehicle driving safety.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Figure 2This is a flowchart of a braking control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The technical solution of this embodiment further optimizes the above-mentioned optional technical solutions. By comparing emotional EEG information with a preset set of emotional EEG information, the corresponding emotional type is determined. Then, based on different emotional types and control-type EEG information of different control types, compliant EEG braking control information that meets the driver's braking control needs is determined. Vehicle control braking information is only generated to brake the vehicle when the EEG braking control information is compliant and both compliant EEG braking control information and radar braking control information exist simultaneously. Furthermore, when the EEG braking control information is determined to be non-compliant based on the current EEG data, braking control of the vehicle is achieved solely through radar braking control information, ensuring that the vehicle can still perform correct braking control even when the driver's mental state is poor, thus improving vehicle driving safety.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the braking control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] S201. Obtain current EEG data and radar point cloud data.

[0052] S202. Determine the current attention value and current relaxation value based on the current EEG data.

[0053] In this embodiment, the current attention value can be specifically understood as a numerical value used to measure the driver's level of concentration at the current moment. The current relaxation value can be specifically understood as a numerical value used to measure the driver's level of relaxation at the current moment.

[0054] Specifically, since EEG data contains rhythmic waves of various frequency ranges, the relaxation state and concentration of a person can be judged based on the proportion of each rhythmic wave in the EEG data. Furthermore, the power spectrum of different types of rhythmic wave signals in the current EEG data can be analyzed to obtain the driver's current attention value and current relaxation value at the current moment.

[0055] Optional, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a process for determining the current attention value and the current relaxation value based on current electroencephalogram (EEG) data, as provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps include the following:

[0056] S2021. Determine the alpha rhythm power spectrum, beta rhythm power spectrum, and theta rhythm power spectrum based on the current EEG data.

[0057] In this embodiment, alpha rhythm waves can be specifically understood as brain waves with a frequency of 8-12Hz in EEG data, used to represent a relaxed, stress-free state; beta rhythm waves can be specifically understood as brain waves with a frequency of 12-16Hz in EEG data, used to represent an alert, tense state; and theta rhythm waves can be specifically understood as brain waves with a frequency of 4-8Hz in EEG data, used to represent a state of reduced or even no sensation of bodily states.

[0058] Specifically, the current EEG data is separated to obtain the power spectrum of the alpha rhythm wave corresponding to the alpha rhythm wave, the power spectrum of the beta rhythm wave corresponding to the beta rhythm wave, and the power spectrum of the theta rhythm wave corresponding to the theta rhythm wave.

[0059] Furthermore, the characteristics of the various rhythmic components of EEG show that the prefrontal cortex rhythmic waves are most prominent when the body is under mental stress; while when the body is fatigued or drowsy, the β rhythmic waves are dominant in the temporal lobe. Since the intensity of EEG signals is extremely weak at the microvolt level and easily affected by 50Hz AC power and polarization levels below 0.5Hz, to ensure the accuracy of the results, this embodiment of the invention performs a secondary search on the acquired current EEG data. FIR digital filtering is used to filter out signals from 1-40Hz, and a moving window midpoint filtering method is used to correct baseline drift. Wavelet coefficient thresholding is used to remove artifacts such as electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG) in the signal, thereby extracting the β rhythmic waves in the prefrontal cortex and the θ rhythmic waves in the temporal lobe.

[0060] S2022. Determine the sum of the α-mode power spectrum and the β-mode power spectrum, and determine the ratio of the sum to the θ-mode power spectrum as the EEG power spectrum ratio.

[0061] For example, the EEG power spectrum ratio can be determined by the following formula:

[0062] R = (α + β) / θ;

[0063] Where α represents the power spectrum of the alpha rhythm, β represents the power spectrum of the beta rhythm, θ represents the power spectrum of the theta rhythm, and R represents the ratio of the brainwave power spectrum. R can be used as an attention feature value to characterize human attention.

[0064] S2023. Determine the current attention value based on the ratio of the brainwave power spectrum and the current relaxation value based on the alpha rhythm wave power spectrum.

[0065] Specifically, the ratio of the brainwave power spectrum is substituted into the pre-constructed formula for determining the attention value, and the attention value corresponding to the ratio of the brainwave power spectrum of the current brainwave data is determined as the current attention value; the alpha rhythm power spectrum is substituted into the pre-constructed formula for determining the relaxation value, and the current relaxation value corresponding to the current brainwave data is determined.

[0066] For example, the formula for determining the attention value can be:

[0067] Attention=100-(R-0.95)*100;

[0068] Where Attention is the attention score and R is the EEG power spectrum ratio. An attention score between 60 and 80 indicates high concentration; between 40 and 60 indicates relatively high concentration; between 20 and 40 indicates relatively scattered attention; and below 20 indicates severely scattered attention.

[0069] For example, the formula for determining the degree of relaxation can be:

[0070] Meditation = (α / 10) * 100;

[0071] Meditation represents the relaxation level, and α represents the alpha rhythm power spectrum. Generally, a relaxation index of 40-60 indicates a high level of relaxation, while 60-80 indicates a very high level of relaxation and a state of deep relaxation.

[0072] S203. Determine whether the current attention value is less than the preset attention threshold and the current relaxation value is greater than the preset relaxation threshold. If yes, proceed to step S204; otherwise, proceed to step S205.

[0073] In this embodiment, the preset attention threshold can be understood as a threshold determined statistically based on actual conditions, used to determine whether the driver's attention meets the braking judgment requirements. The preset relaxation threshold can be understood as a threshold determined statistically based on actual conditions, used to determine whether the driver's relaxation meets the braking judgment requirements.

[0074] S204. Determine the brainwave braking control information as non-compliant brainwave braking control information and execute step S210.

[0075] Specifically, when the current attention value is less than the preset attention threshold and the current relaxation value is greater than the preset relaxation threshold, it can be considered that the driver is too relaxed or inattentive at the current driving moment and cannot achieve accurate and effective braking control of the vehicle. If the vehicle is still braked based on the brainwave braking control information generated by the driver's brainwaves at this time, it may lead to a collision accident or unnecessary braking that affects the driving experience. In this case, the brainwave braking control information is identified as non-compliant brainwave braking control information.

[0076] S205. Determine the control type of the control-type brainwave information. When the control type is braking control, compare the emotion-type brainwave information with the preset emotion-type brainwave information set to determine the emotion type of the emotion-type brainwave information.

[0077] In this embodiment, the preset set of emotion-related brainwave information can be specifically understood as a set of brainwave information extracted and stored in advance from the human body under different emotions. In the preset set of emotion-related brainwave information, each emotion-related brainwave information will be labeled with an emotion type.

[0078] Specifically, based on the study of brainwave information, the portion of brainwave data belonging to the control category can be classified into different types. That is, control-type brainwave information has its corresponding different control types. When the control type is determined to be braking control, it can be assumed that the driver has a need to brake the vehicle after analyzing the driver's current brainwave data. At this time, the emotional brainwave information is compared with the preset emotional brainwave information set to determine the emotional type of the emotional brainwave information at the current moment based on the comparison results.

[0079] Furthermore, if it is determined that the control type of the control-type brainwave information is not the braking control type, it can be assumed that the driver has no braking control need at the current moment. In this case, there is no need to determine the emotion type of the emotion-type brainwave information, and therefore no brainwave braking control information will be generated to brake the vehicle.

[0080] S206. If the emotion type belongs to the preset emotion type, then the brainwave braking control information is determined to be compliant brainwave braking control information, and step S209 is executed.

[0081] In this embodiment, the preset emotion type can be understood as a set of emotion types that the driver may experience when performing vehicle braking tasks, which are predetermined based on the actual situation.

[0082] Specifically, when the control-type brainwave information is braking control type brainwave information, and the emotion type of the emotion-type brainwave information belongs to the preset emotion type, it can be considered that the driver has a clear emotion to brake the vehicle at the current moment, and the control intention in the control-type brainwave information is real and effective. At this time, brainwave braking control information for braking control of the vehicle will be generated, and the brainwave braking control information will be identified as compliant brainwave braking control information.

[0083] S207. Generate a map of the surrounding environment based on radar point cloud data.

[0084] Specifically, based on the distance information contained in each radar point cloud in the radar point cloud data, the relative positions of different objects around the vehicle at the current moment can be determined, thereby generating a surrounding environment map containing information about the vehicle's surrounding environment.

[0085] S208. If the surrounding environment map contains preset braking information, then radar braking control information is generated; otherwise, radar braking control information is not generated.

[0086] In this embodiment, the preset braking information can be understood as a set of scenario information that includes the need for braking, which is preset according to the actual situation.

[0087] Specifically, if a scene matching the preset braking information is detected in the generated surrounding environment map, it can be assumed that the vehicle has a braking requirement under the current driving situation detected by the radar; otherwise, a collision may occur, and radar braking control information is generated. Otherwise, it can be assumed that the vehicle will not collide under the current driving situation detected by the radar and has no braking requirement, and radar braking control information is not generated. If radar braking control information is generated, step S209 or step S210 is executed.

[0088] It should be clarified that there is no obvious sequential relationship between S202-S206 and S207-S208. The two sets of steps can be executed simultaneously or in different orders as needed. This embodiment of the invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0089] S209. If the brainwave braking control information is compliant brainwave braking control information, and both compliant brainwave braking control information and radar braking control information exist simultaneously, then vehicle braking control information for controlling vehicle braking is generated.

[0090] Specifically, when the brainwave braking control information is compliant brainwave braking control information, and both compliant brainwave braking control information and radar braking control information exist simultaneously, it can be considered that the vehicle has a braking demand based on radar judgment at the current moment, and the driver also has a braking demand. At this time, the reliability of the vehicle braking is high, and vehicle braking control information for controlling vehicle braking can be generated accordingly.

[0091] Furthermore, if the brainwave braking control information is compliant brainwave braking control information, but the compliant brainwave braking control information and radar braking control information do not exist simultaneously, since the driver's brainwaves are more likely to be interfered with, it is impossible to accurately determine whether the vehicle needs to brake at the current moment, and therefore vehicle braking control information for controlling vehicle braking will not be generated.

[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle's braking demand is determined by combining compliant EEG braking control information and radar braking control information. This avoids ineffective braking when relying solely on EEG information for braking control, ensuring the accuracy of braking control and improving driving safety and comfort.

[0093] S210. Generate vehicle braking control information for controlling vehicle braking based on radar braking control information.

[0094] Specifically, when the brainwave braking control information is non-compliant, it can be assumed that the driver does not have the ability to make braking judgments at the current moment, or that the driver's braking judgments at the current moment are inaccurate. In this case, the vehicle can be braked based solely on the collected radar point cloud data, that is, vehicle braking control information is generated based on the radar braking control information to control the vehicle to brake.

[0095] Furthermore, after determining vehicle braking control information based on EEG braking control information and radar braking control information, and controlling vehicle braking based on vehicle braking control information, the process also includes:

[0096] The current EEG data, EEG braking control information, and vehicle braking control information are combined into an EEG control optimization information set.

[0097] The information set for optimizing brainwave control is analyzed, and the preset set of emotion-related brainwave information is updated based on the analysis results.

[0098] In this embodiment, the brainwave control optimization information set can be specifically understood as a set constructed to achieve accurate identification of information in brainwaves, which associates and stores brainwave information and vehicle control information from multiple historical moments.

[0099] Specifically, after determining the vehicle braking control information based on EEG braking control information and radar braking control information, the braking control for the vehicle at the current moment can be considered complete. At this point, the vehicle braking operation can be considered to have occurred. The braking operation and acquired parameter information at this moment can be used as historical information for subsequent analysis and judgment. At this point, the current EEG data, EEG braking control information, and vehicle braking control information can be combined based on the time of generation to generate an optimized EEG control information set. It can be understood that after each current moment ends, a combination can be written into the optimized EEG control information set. This optimized EEG control information set can be uploaded to the cloud for staff to perform EEG analysis to determine whether the vehicle braking control information generated at different times is appropriate, i.e., whether there is erroneous EEG braking control information. This allows for the determination of the type of EEG information required when the vehicle needs to brake. Based on the staff's analysis results, the preset emotional EEG information set can be updated, making the updated preset emotional EEG set closer to the driver's actual driving situation, further improving the accuracy of the EEG braking control information.

[0100] The technical solution of this embodiment compares emotional EEG information with a preset set of emotional EEG information to determine the corresponding emotion type. Then, based on different emotion types and control-type EEG information of different control types, it determines compliant EEG braking control information that the driver needs for braking control. Only when the EEG braking control information is compliant, and both compliant EEG braking control information and radar braking control information are present, is vehicle control braking information generated to brake the vehicle. Furthermore, when the current EEG data determines that the EEG braking control information is non-compliant, only radar braking control information is used to achieve vehicle braking control, ensuring that the vehicle can still perform correct braking control even when the driver's mental state is poor, thus improving vehicle driving safety.

[0101] Example 3

[0102] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a braking control device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The braking control device includes: a data acquisition module 31, a control information determination module 32, and a braking control module 33.

[0103] The data acquisition module 31 is used to acquire current EEG data and radar point cloud data; the control information determination module 32 is used to determine EEG braking control information based on the current EEG data and radar braking control information based on the radar point cloud data; the braking control module 33 is used to determine vehicle braking control information based on the EEG braking control information and radar braking control information, and control vehicle braking based on the vehicle braking control information; wherein, the current EEG data includes emotional EEG information and control EEG information.

[0104] The technical solution of this embodiment determines brainwave braking control information based on emotional and control-related brainwave information in the current brainwave data. By restricting the control-related brainwave information through emotional brainwave information, the determined brainwave braking control information becomes more accurate. At the same time, the radar braking control information determined based on radar point cloud data is combined with the brainwave braking control information to jointly determine the vehicle braking control information. By adopting a dual standard to judge the vehicle braking demand, the accuracy of vehicle braking information determination is improved, thereby enhancing the safety of vehicle driving.

[0105] Optionally, the control information determination module 32 includes:

[0106] The emotion type determination unit is used to determine the control type of control-type brainwave information. When the control type is braking control, the emotion-type brainwave information is compared with a preset set of emotion-type brainwave information to determine the emotion type of the emotion-type brainwave information.

[0107] The first control information determination unit is used to determine the brainwave braking control information as compliant brainwave braking control information if the emotion type belongs to a preset emotion type.

[0108] The environment map generation unit is used to generate a map of the surrounding environment based on radar point cloud data.

[0109] The second control information determination unit is used to generate radar braking control information if the surrounding environment map contains preset braking information; otherwise, it does not generate radar braking control information.

[0110] Optionally, the control information determination module 32 further includes:

[0111] Attention relaxation parameter determination unit, used to determine the current attention value and current relaxation value based on the current EEG data before determining the control type of control-type EEG information;

[0112] The third control information determination unit is used to determine the EEG braking control information as non-compliant EEG braking control information if the current attention value is less than the preset attention threshold and the current relaxation value is greater than the preset relaxation threshold.

[0113] Optionally, note the relaxation parameter determination unit, specifically used for:

[0114] Determine the alpha rhythm power spectrum, beta rhythm power spectrum, and theta rhythm power spectrum based on current EEG data;

[0115] The sum of the power spectrum of α rhythm wave and β rhythm wave is determined, and the ratio of the sum to the power spectrum of θ rhythm wave is determined as the EEG power spectrum ratio.

[0116] The current attention level is determined based on the ratio of the brainwave power spectrum, and the current relaxation level is determined based on the alpha rhythm wave power spectrum.

[0117] Optional, the braking control module 33 is specifically used for:

[0118] If the brainwave braking control information is compliant brainwave braking control information, and both compliant brainwave braking control information and radar braking control information exist simultaneously, then vehicle braking control information for controlling vehicle braking is generated.
