[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a vehicle parking brake control method, device, equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, more and more vehicles are using electronic parking brake (EPB) systems for parking control. The dynamic braking function of EBP can maintain the safe driving of the vehicle when the vehicle's service brake fails.

[0003] In the existing technology, the dynamic braking function usually uses a set of calibration coefficients to enable the vehicle to travel on various adhesion surfaces. However, in order to simultaneously ensure the stability of the vehicle on different adhesion surfaces, the control parameters are often designed based on the stability of the vehicle on low-adhesion surfaces to achieve vehicle control.

[0004] However, when the control parameters designed for low-adhesion roads are applied to high-adhesion roads, although the vehicle stability is guaranteed, the adhesion capacity of the high-adhesion road cannot be effectively utilized, resulting in reduced deceleration and affecting the braking performance of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a vehicle parking brake control method, device, equipment and medium to solve the problem that the adhesion capacity of high-adhesion road surfaces cannot be effectively utilized, resulting in reduced deceleration and decreased braking performance.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figure 1 A flowchart of a vehicle parking brake control method is provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case where the vehicle service brake fails. The method can be executed by a vehicle parking brake control device. The vehicle parking brake control device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The vehicle parking brake control device can be configured in a vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0030] S110 , capturing an image of the road on which the target vehicle is currently traveling through an image capturing device, and determining a road type based on the image of the road.

[0031] The image acquisition device may be a device such as an onboard camera or an external surveillance camera that can capture images of the road surface on which the target vehicle is currently traveling. The target vehicle may be the vehicle currently being driven by the user. The road surface image may be an image of the road surface ahead of the vehicle. The road surface type may be a result of classifying the road surface based on its material composition. In this embodiment, the type of image acquisition device is not limited.

[0032] Specifically, an image acquisition device is used to capture images of the road ahead of the target vehicle while it is traveling. Feature information of the captured road surface image is extracted based on road surface features in the image. Road surface features can be characteristics that make up the road surface and distinguish it from surrounding objects, including color distribution, contours, edge gradients, and texture. The road surface is classified based on the extracted road surface information.

[0033] Optionally, determining the road surface type based on the road surface image includes:

[0034] The road surface image is input into a pre-trained road surface classifier to obtain the road surface type; wherein the road surface classifier is trained based on pre-collected sample road surface images, and the road surface types include at least asphalt road, asphalt road, ice surface, compacted snow surface, asphalt road after rain, and asphalt road after rain.

[0035] The classifier can be a model that uses the maximum probability value to classify and predict data based on a simple probability model. Exemplary road surface classifiers include decision trees, logistic regression, naive Bayes, neural networks, and other algorithms.

[0036] Specifically, a classifier is established in advance based on the association between road surface features in different road surface images and corresponding road surface types.

[0037] For example, assuming that a neural network model is used as a road surface classifier, by using a large number of pre-collected road surface samples, the system parameters are continuously iterated according to the relationship between road surface characteristics and road surface types to obtain parameters that can accurately classify road surface images, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the road surface classifier classification.

[0038] S120: Determine road adhesion information according to the road surface type.

[0039] The road adhesion information may be information indicating adhesion conditions between the road and the wheels.

[0040] Specifically, the road adhesion information is determined based on the mapping relationship between different road surface types and road adhesion information. The mapping relationship between the two can be determined by driving parameters generated by the vehicle driving on the road; it can also be pre-set based on experience; the adhesion can also be divided into parameters and judged based on the parameter range.

[0041] For example, vehicle driving parameters for different road types are pre-collected to determine road adhesion information based on these driving parameters. For example, driving parameters include vehicle speed information and accident frequency. Another example is to pre-determine a mapping relationship between road type and adhesion parameters, and determine the corresponding road adhesion information based on the adhesion parameters. For example, different intervals of adhesion parameter values ​​correspond to different road adhesion information.

[0042] S130 : Determine parking brake parameters according to the road adhesion information, and perform parking brake control on the target vehicle according to the parking brake parameters.

[0043] The parking brake, also known as the "handbrake," is a braking method used when the vehicle is parked to prevent sliding. The braking force is typically applied to the rear wheels. Parking brake parameters can be used to control the external force applied to the rear wheels when the vehicle is stopped. Parking brake control can be used to select appropriate parking brake parameters based on the current vehicle speed to ensure safe driving in the event of an emergency braking situation during driving.

[0044] Specifically, according to the determined road adhesion information and the mapping relationship between the adhesion information and the parking brake parameters, the vehicle control parameters of the current road section are obtained to achieve control of the vehicle.

[0045] For example, assuming that the current road surface is an icy or snowy road surface, according to the above mapping relationship, it is judged that it is a low-adhesion road surface. The corresponding control parameters are determined based on this information. When the vehicle brakes, the control system calls this set of parameter values ​​to control the vehicle.

[0046] The technical solution of this embodiment collects road surface information of the target vehicle's current driving section and classifies the collected images according to road surface characteristics to determine road adhesion information. Different control parameters are used for different adhesion information, which solves the problem of low utilization rate of different adhesion road surfaces, achieves higher braking performance, and ensures safe driving of the vehicle.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Figure 2This is a flow chart of another vehicle parking brake control method provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is optimized based on the above embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] S210 , capturing a road surface image on which the target vehicle is currently traveling through an image capturing device, and determining a road surface type based on the road surface image.

[0050] S220 . Determine corresponding road adhesion information according to the road type based on a pre-established mapping relationship between candidate road types and candidate road adhesion information, wherein the candidate road adhesion information includes at least high-adhesion road surfaces and low-adhesion road surfaces.

[0051] The mapping relationship between candidate road surface types and candidate road surface adhesion information can be a relationship strategy that reflects the correspondence between road surface information and road surface adhesion information. High-adhesion road surfaces can be road surfaces with high road-to-wheel adhesion, typically including asphalt roads, tarmac roads, rain-soaked asphalt roads, and rain-soaked asphalt roads. Low-adhesion road surfaces can be road surfaces with low road-to-wheel adhesion, typically including ice surfaces and compacted snow surfaces.

[0052] Specifically, according to the road surface type of the acquired road surface image, it is determined whether the road surface is a high-adhesion road surface or a low-adhesion road surface.

[0053] For example, if the collected road surface is an asphalt road, then according to a preset mapping relationship, it can be obtained that the road surface is a high adhesion road surface.

[0054] By adopting the above method, the road surface types are classified and the corresponding adhesion information is obtained according to the mapping relationship, which can better realize the braking control of the vehicle under different road conditions.

[0055] S230 : Based on a pre-established mapping relationship between candidate road adhesion information and candidate parking brake parameters, determine corresponding parking brake parameters according to the road adhesion information.

[0056] The mapping relationship between road adhesion information and candidate parking brake parameters can be a one-to-one mapping relationship or a many-to-one mapping relationship. For example, all road surface types determined to be high-adhesion road surfaces can be controlled using the same set of control parameters. Alternatively, high-adhesion road surfaces can be configured as an information group consisting of different road surface types, with each road surface type in the information group corresponding to a set of control parameters.

[0057] Since different parking brake parameters need to be adopted under different road adhesion information, it is necessary to brake the vehicle in advance according to the determined candidate road adhesion information to determine the corresponding optimal candidate parking brake parameters and obtain a mapping relationship.

[0058] Optionally, the parking brake parameters include at least: a clamping slip rate threshold, a release slip rate threshold, a single clamping time threshold, and a single release time threshold.

[0059] Specifically, when the vehicle is in parking brake mode, the parking brake system will perform dynamic braking on the two rear wheel calipers, that is, perform a "clamp-hold-release" cycle control on the calipers to achieve control of the vehicle.

[0060] Among them, the slip rate can be the slip generated between the tire footprint and the road surface when the tire brakes or accelerates while moving straight; the clamping slip rate threshold can be the maximum slip distance between the tire and the road surface when the tire is clamped; the release slip rate threshold can be the maximum slip distance between the tire and the road surface when the tire is released; the single clamping time threshold can be the maximum time that the caliper clamps the tire and holds it for a single time; the single release time threshold can be the maximum time that the caliper holds the tire for a single time.

[0061] For example, assuming a single clamping time of 0.03s and a single release time of 0.01s, when emergency braking is required, the calipers are controlled to perform dynamic braking, executing a "clamp-hold-release" cycle: clamping the tire for 0.03s, releasing the wheel for 0.01s, and repeating this cycle until the vehicle stops. During this process, the vehicle's sliding distance cannot exceed the clamping slip rate and release slip rate thresholds. This process not only controls the rear wheel slip rate and wheel deceleration within a reasonable range, preventing the rear wheels from locking, but also prevents the vehicle from skidding.

[0062] Optionally, the mapping relationship between the candidate road adhesion information and the candidate parking brake parameters is established as follows:

[0063] determining initial parking brake parameters corresponding to the candidate road adhesion information, and controlling the vehicle to perform parking braking on the candidate road surface corresponding to the candidate road adhesion information based on the initial parking brake parameters to obtain braking feedback information;

[0064] The initial parking brake parameters are iteratively adjusted according to the braking feedback information to obtain adjusted parking brake parameters corresponding to the target braking feedback information, which are candidate parking brake parameters corresponding to the candidate road adhesion information.

[0065] The initial parking brake parameters are initial control parameters that roughly match the current road surface type, given based on vehicle driving information. Braking feedback information is control effect data obtained based on the current control parameters during a large number of vehicle experiments.

[0066] Specifically, before establishing the mapping relationship, the initial parking control parameters are first pre-set based on experience, the parameters are input into the control system, a braking test is performed on a candidate road surface, and the vehicle's current driving information is recorded. The obtained information is fed back to the control system, and the control parameters are continuously adjusted until a set of parameter values ​​is found that can ensure that the vehicle does not lose stability and has the maximum deceleration. These are used as the final control parameters, and the mapping relationship is now established.

[0067] Furthermore, the braking feedback information includes vehicle stability parameters and deceleration.

[0068] Among them, vehicle stability refers to the ability of a vehicle to restore its original driving state and direction in a short period of time after being disturbed by external factors during driving, so as not to cause loss of control, skidding (swinging) and overturning; deceleration refers to the ability of a vehicle to quickly reduce its speed until it stops while driving.

[0069] For example, when the road adhesion information indicates a high-adhesion road surface, a set of initial parameter values ​​that can ensure safe driving of the vehicle is set based on the control parameters obtained from the vehicle's previous driving on this type of road surface. The parameters are input into the control system for experimentation. Based on the initial values, dynamic braking is activated on the high-adhesion road surface to determine the vehicle's stability and deceleration, and the vehicle's state information during driving, such as changes in vehicle speed and the degree of wheel slip, is recorded. The parameter values ​​are continuously iteratively adjusted based on the stability parameters, deceleration, and state information until a set of parameter values ​​that can ensure vehicle stability and maximize deceleration is found. This set of parameters is used as the final control parameters for the high-adhesion road surface.

[0070] S240: Perform parking brake control on the target vehicle according to parking brake parameters.

[0071] The technical solution of this embodiment collects road surface information of the target vehicle's current driving section and classifies the collected images according to road surface characteristics to determine road adhesion information. Different control parameters are used for different adhesion information, which solves the problem of low utilization rate of different adhesion road surfaces, achieves higher braking performance, and ensures safe driving of the vehicle.
