Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle control, and in particular relates to a method and system for controlling a vehicle braking distance based on parking sight distance. Background Art

[0002] Expressways, currently the predominant mode of long-distance driving, are the highest-grade highways. They are designed for high speeds, have high road linearity design indicators, and therefore operate at relatively high speeds. In emergencies, drivers have limited time to make decisions, and improper handling can easily lead to serious traffic accidents, resulting in significant loss of life and property. Therefore, expressway traffic safety is of paramount importance. Numerous factors influence expressway driving safety, with road alignment being one of the most important. Among these, sight distance, as the most fundamental road alignment design indicator, has a significant impact on driving safety. Ensuring adequate sight distance in expressway alignment design is crucial for ensuring driving safety and comfort. Poor sight distance can hinder drivers' ability to make informed decisions, leading to traffic accidents.

[0003] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of intelligent and information-based technologies, autonomous driving technology has continued to develop and is gradually becoming a major development direction for the future. Furthermore, due to the development of autonomous driving technology and the formulation of national policies, autonomous vehicles will gradually infiltrate existing traffic flows at a certain rate in the future, forming a heterogeneous traffic flow with a certain penetration rate. The addition of autonomous vehicles will significantly differ from the vehicle's response and braking performance compared to traditional manually driven vehicles. As a key road alignment design indicator for ensuring driving safety, it is necessary to study the adaptability of stopping sight distance to heterogeneous traffic flows and use stopping sight distance as a basis for controlling the braking distance of autonomous vehicles to ensure traffic safety on highways.

[0004] Domestic researchers have primarily focused on improving stopping sight distance model theory and road alignment verification methods. Some have reclassified the braking process to establish a stopping sight distance calculation model, while others have modified the stopping sight distance using operating speed and braking deceleration. These studies have conducted in-depth research on stopping sight distance, arguing that stopping sight distance calculation primarily consists of reaction distance and braking distance. These studies have been widely recognized, but they have all focused on manually driven vehicles, with no research on stopping sight distance for autonomous vehicles. Furthermore, in research on reaction time, a crucial parameter involved in calculating stopping sight distance, current calculations rely on empirical values, lacking quantitative analysis.

[0005] During driving, a vehicle follows the preceding vehicle at a certain distance based on a following model. Currently, the ACC following model is primarily used to control the following distance in autonomous driving. The safe stopping distance parameter in the ACC following model still refers to empirical values. Analysis has not been conducted for the specific scenario of a sudden change in the preceding vehicle's state. Furthermore, when following a preceding vehicle, a certain braking safety distance must be maintained between vehicles. In actual driving, if an autonomous vehicle, acting as a following vehicle, controls the braking safety distance from the preceding vehicle based on the stopping sight distance, it would be overly conservative. However, no research has yet been conducted on braking distance control systems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a vehicle braking distance control method based on parking sight distance, aiming to solve the problem that the parameters of the safe parking distance in the prior art only refer to empirical values, resulting in the safety distance maintained by the autonomous driving vehicle being too conservative.

During the cross-correlation analysis process, when the cross-correlation coefficient is the largest, it corresponds to the reaction time of the target vehicle. Based on this, the reaction time of different vehicles in different following situations can be determined.

[0014] Preferably, in the step of calculating the reaction distance, the reaction distance under different following conditions is calculated as follows:

[0015] S r,i =v i T s,i (i=1,2,3,4),

[0021] Preferably, the full braking stage distance is calculated using the following formula:

[0022]

[0023] The braking distance S2 is expressed as:

[0024]

[0025] Preferably, the safe braking distance is calculated by the following formula:

[0026]

[0027] Where: d is the safe braking distance that the following vehicle and the leading vehicle need to maintain, in meters; v C is the speed of the following vehicle, in km / h; v A is the speed of the leading vehicle, in km / h; Dmax is the parking sight distance of the autonomous vehicle, in meters.

The control system controls the autonomous driving vehicle to always maintain a safe stopping distance from the vehicle in front. Since the stopping sight distance is reduced, the distance between vehicles is reduced, which can greatly improve traffic efficiency while ensuring traffic safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

These terms are only used to distinguish a first element from another element. For example, a first xx script may be referred to as a second xx script, and similarly, a second xx script may be referred to as a first xx script without departing from the scope of this application.

[0041] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling vehicle braking distance based on stopping sight distance, the method comprising:

[0042] Acquire traffic scene data and build a heterogeneous traffic following scenario model;

[0043] Performing reaction time calibration through traffic flow simulation, wherein the reaction time calibration step includes data collection and processing and cross-correlation result analysis;

[0044] Calculate the reaction distance and braking distance of autonomous vehicles under heterogeneous flow;

[0045] The vehicle is controlled based on the reaction distance and the braking distance of the autonomous vehicle, so that the autonomous vehicle maintains a corresponding safe braking distance with the leading vehicle.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the impact of the introduction of autonomous vehicles on existing traffic flow is considered, different car-following combinations of vehicles are analyzed, reaction times are calibrated based on simulated car-following data, braking models for autonomous vehicles and manually driven vehicles are constructed, the stopping sight distance for autonomous vehicles is calculated, and a braking distance control system is constructed based on the autonomous stopping sight distance. The specific steps are as follows:

[0047] A: Determine the relevant data of highway traffic scenarios: design speed, traffic volume and other information;

[0048] B: Calculation of stopping sight distance under heterogeneous traffic flow:

[0049] a) Construction of car-following scenarios with heterogeneous traffic flows:

[0050] For heterogeneous traffic flows where autonomous vehicles and human-driven vehicles mix, the driving behaviors of autonomous vehicles and autonomous vehicles will have mutual influences, and the degree of influence varies. Therefore, the influence between the two needs to be discussed separately. Through the analysis of the combination of the two types of vehicles, it can be seen that there are four main types of following situations in the same lane, see the attached Figure 1 .

[0051] b) Reaction time calibration:

[0052] 1. Data collection and processing:

[0053] The Krause and ACC following models are used as following models for manually driven vehicles and autonomous vehicles, respectively, and experimental parameters are obtained through traffic flow simulation. The following criteria are used when selecting research data in this paper: from the start time to the end time of data collection, the following vehicle and the followed vehicle are always in the same lane and the following and followed relationship is always maintained. This is to avoid the impact of vehicle lane changing behavior on following behavior; the shortest time that the following vehicle follows the followed vehicle is 30 seconds, that is, there are at least 300 data records of the following vehicle and the followed vehicle in the data.

[0054] 2. Cross-correlation results analysis:

[0055] Taking a specific numbered vehicle as an example, this vehicle is selected as the following vehicle data in the simulation data. Based on the data, the leading vehicle in front of it and the lane it is in are found. The relative speed data Δv(t) of the two vehicles is extracted, and the acceleration data a of the following vehicle is used to calculate the relative speed of the two vehicles. n+1 (t) and cross-correlation analysis using EVIEWS 5.1. The maximum cross-correlation coefficient is considered the target vehicle's reaction time. Using this method, the reaction times of different vehicles in different car-following situations can be determined.

[0056] c) Reaction distance calculation:

[0057] It is now assumed that the autonomous driving vehicle and the manually driven vehicle maintain their original speed while perceiving information about the road and vehicles ahead, as well as making relevant judgments and decisions. Based on the analysis of different following situations above, we can see that i represents the i-th following situation. The calculation of the reaction distance under different following situations is shown in formula (1).

[0058] S r,i =v i T s,i (i=1,2,3,4) (1)

[0059] Where S r,i represents the reaction distance of the vehicle in the i-th following situation, m; v ivi represents the car-following speed of the following vehicle under the ith car-following condition, m / s; T s,i ti represents the reaction time of the following vehicle under the ith car-following condition, s.

[0060] d) Construction of the braking process of the autonomous vehicle:

[0061] The braking process of the autonomous vehicle mainly includes the following three processes: a) the process of the autonomous vehicle perceiving the front danger and obstacle and processing the information, and the time required for this process is called the system "reaction time"; b) the process of the vehicle making a decision to decelerate, the braking deceleration being generated and rising to the maximum, and the time required for this process is called the braking force rising time; c) the process of the vehicle braking with the maximum deceleration, and the time required for this process is called the full braking time. The specific processes are shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 .

[0062] e) Calculation of the braking distance of the autonomous vehicle under heterogeneous flow:

[0063] ① Distance S in the braking force rising stage 2-1 :

[0064] The braking deceleration at any time in the braking force rising time is calculated as shown in formula (2):

[0065]

[0066] In the formula, a max is the maximum braking deceleration, m / s 2 .

[0067] The vehicle speed at any time t in this period is calculated as shown in formula (3) and (4):

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] In the formula, v0 is the initial speed of the vehicle before braking, m / s 2 .

[0071] The driving distance of the vehicle in the braking force rising stage is calculated as shown in formula (5):

[0072]

[0073] In the formula, τ3 is the time of the braking force rising, s.

[0074] ② Distance S in the full braking stage 2-2

[0075] The vehicle speed at the start of this period (i.e. the end of the braking force rising time period) is calculated as shown in formula (6):

[0076]

[0077] The vehicle speed at any time during this stage is as shown in formula (7):

[0078] v(t)=v s -a max t (7)

[0079] During the full braking time, the vehicle brakes at the maximum deceleration a max Change the speed from v s The time it takes to decrease to 0 is τ4=v s / a max During this time period, the vehicle travels a distance S 2-2 The calculation of is shown in formula (8):

[0080]

[0081] It can also be expressed as,

[0082] According to formula (8) and formula (5), the braking distance S2 can be obtained as:

[0083]

[0084] The parameters in the formula are the same as above

[0085] f) Calculation of parking sight distance for autonomous driving vehicles under heterogeneous traffic flow

[0086] Based on the above analysis, the stopping sight distance of the autonomous vehicle under different following conditions in heterogeneous traffic flow can be calculated, as shown in formula (10):

[0087]

[0088] Where v0 is the initial speed of the autonomous vehicle before braking, m / s 2 .

[0089] C: Braking distance control system

[0090] The braking distance control system consists of two parts: the leading vehicle driving state determination and the braking distance control. Figure 3 .

[0091] a) During the driving process, the following vehicle determines the driving status of the leading vehicle by monitoring its acceleration. When its acceleration is less than the braking acceleration, it is a normal speed adjustment, the leading vehicle is in normal driving state, and the following vehicle can continue to drive. When its acceleration is greater than the braking acceleration, the leading vehicle is in braking state. At this time, the following vehicle must maintain a safe braking distance with the leading vehicle and execute b).

[0092] b) After the following vehicle determines that the leading vehicle is in a braking state, it first determines the vehicle attributes of the leading vehicle, i.e., an autonomous vehicle or a manually driven vehicle, and then maintains a corresponding safe braking distance with the leading vehicle based on the attributes of the leading vehicle.

[0093] The safe braking distance is calculated based on the stopping sight distance of different vehicle attributes, as shown in the following formula:

[0094]

[0095] Where: d is the safe braking distance between the following vehicle and the leading vehicle, m; v C is the speed of the following vehicle, km / h; v A is the speed of the leading vehicle, km / h; D max is the stopping sight distance of the autonomous vehicle, m.

[0096] To illustrate the technical effects of this application, the following examples are given:

[0097] A: Road traffic scenario determination: The main line is six lanes in both directions (three lanes in one direction), with a design speed of 120 km / h; the ramp is a single lane with a design speed of 70 km / h; the road design hourly traffic volume is 2200 veh / h;

[0098] B: Stopping sight distance calculation under heterogeneous traffic flow

[0099] 1. Calibration of reaction time of different vehicles

[0100] The database contains 450 records of vehicles that follow the vehicle. The data shows that during the data collection period, this vehicle has been following vehicle number X in lane number Y. The relative velocity data {Δv(t)} of the vehicle and the acceleration data {a(t)} of the following vehicle were extracted and cross-correlated with each other using EVIEWS 5.1. The results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that when the reaction time is 0.2 seconds, the mutual correlation coefficient of the autonomous driving vehicle is the largest, so 0.2 seconds is considered to be the reaction time of the autonomous driving vehicle. Similarly, when the reaction time is 0.8 seconds, the mutual correlation coefficient of the natural person driving the vehicle is the largest, so 0.8 seconds is considered to be the reaction time of the natural person driving the vehicle.

[0101] 2. Calculation of Stopping Sight Distance on Highways with Heterogeneous Traffic Flow

[0102] According to formula (31), the stopping sight distances of autonomous vehicles and manually driven vehicles at different design speeds can be calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0103] Table 1 Stopping sight distance values ​​for autonomous and manually driven vehicles

[0104]

[0105] 3. Braking distance control system:

[0106] In the simulation software SUMO, a heterogeneous traffic flow simulation platform is built according to the road traffic environment in A, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the stopping sight distance of vehicles is calibrated using the standard values ​​in the route design specifications and the calculated values ​​from the model. A braking distance control system is used to control the safe distance of the autonomous vehicle. This control system outputs data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, and Time-To-Collision (TTC). The resulting vehicle information data is used to compare traffic efficiency and safety under two traffic environments, verifying the practicality and effectiveness of the control system.

[0107] Table 2 Comparison of traffic simulation results

[0108]

[0109] The calculation results in Table 2 indicate that, compared to the stopping sight distance in the Standard, the stopping sight distance determined in this paper increases traffic flow efficiency by 42,792 km, a 30.44% improvement. Due to the reduction in stopping sight distance, the headway between vehicles remains shorter, resulting in a slight increase in the traffic conflict rate of 0.0067 times / (pcu·km), a non-significant increase. Therefore, the stopping sight distance determined in this paper can significantly improve traffic efficiency while ensuring traffic safety.

[0110] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle braking distance control system based on parking sight distance, the system comprising:

[0111] Scenario construction module, used to obtain traffic scenario data and construct heterogeneous traffic following scenario models;

[0112] A traffic flow simulation module is used to perform reaction time calibration through traffic flow simulation, wherein the reaction time calibration step includes data collection and processing and cross-correlation result analysis;

[0114] The safety distance control module is used to control the vehicle based on the reaction distance and the braking distance of the autonomous driving vehicle, so that the autonomous driving vehicle maintains a corresponding safe braking distance with the leading vehicle.
