[0035] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] This application provides a possible implementation method, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a scenario-based reliability evaluation method for autonomous driving systems. This method can be executed by any electronic device, and optionally, it can be executed on a server or a terminal device.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0038] Step 101: Based on the specific functions to be tested in the autonomous driving system, select scene elements and functional test requirements and randomly combine them to generate a functional test scenario library.

[0039] The autonomous driving system in this application embodiment can be a "human-vehicle-road-environment system". Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the human-vehicle-road-environment system is shown. (For example...) Figure 2 As shown, the scene elements in the human-vehicle-road-environment system may include, but are not limited to, traffic participants, environmental physical elements, and weather conditions; functional test requirements include, but are not limited to, traffic sign recognition and response, traffic light recognition and response, pedestrian avoidance, roundabout passage, parking, and overtaking. In this embodiment, based on the functional test requirements of the autonomous driving system in selected typical scenarios, a functional test scenario library for typical scenarios can be constructed by freely / randomly combining the above-mentioned various scene elements and various functional test requirements.

[0040] Step 102: Based on the functional testing requirements, determine the evaluation indicators of the autonomous driving system and the empirical values ​​of the evaluation indicators.

[0041] Optionally, determining the evaluation indicators and empirical values ​​of the evaluation indicators for the autonomous driving system based on functional testing requirements includes:

[0042] Based on the functional testing requirements, determine the functional modules in the autonomous driving system;

[0043] Identify the components included in the functional module, and determine the evaluation indicators and empirical values ​​of the evaluation indicators based on the components.

[0044] Figure 3 A flowchart for selecting evaluation indicators is shown. For example... Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the tasks to be completed by the autonomous driving system in typical scenarios (i.e., the specific functions to be tested by the autonomous driving system) are first defined, and then the functional modules used by the autonomous driving system to complete the tasks are identified. The functional modules are then broken down to identify the components (including hardware components and related algorithms) included in each module. Based on the decomposed components, relevant indicators for evaluating task completion are selected as evaluation indicators. Then, combined with pre-set standards (such as existing policies or generally recognized industry standards), an evaluation indicator system is formed based on all selected evaluation indicators, and empirical values ​​for all evaluation indicators within the evaluation indicator system are obtained.

[0045] An indicator value is a quantitative description that defines the standard for achieving an indicator. The selected evaluation indicators, based on empirical values, are derived from the pre-defined standards for the reliability evaluation of scenario-based autonomous driving systems, resulting in existing, widely accepted indicator values ​​within the industry.

[0046] Step 103: Conduct simulation tests based on the functional test scenario library and indicator experience values ​​to obtain the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the evaluation indicators.

[0047] Based on a functional test scenario library and empirical indicator values, simulation tests are conducted on a simulation platform. Through repeated and extensive testing, the indicator values ​​can be verified and optimized, ultimately yielding the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under various indicators. The simulation platform used for testing can be selected based on the specific application requirements.

[0048] Step 104: Construct a dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model using the failure rate, and use the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model to obtain the state probability of the autonomous driving system.

[0049] Bayesian Networks (BNs) are uncertain knowledge reasoning models based on Bayesian theory. A Bayesian Network model consists of a graph structure of nodes and a conditional probability table (CPT), which can intuitively describe the logical relationships between nodes. Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) are an extension of Bayesian Networks, capable of reflecting the time-varying effects of variables through multiple discrete time slices. In a DBN structure, each time slice corresponds to a static Bayesian Network. Therefore, DBNs can achieve dynamic prediction and real-time data updates, and can express and reason about dynamic stochastic processes, offering advantages in applications such as dynamic system fault diagnosis and reliability assessment. In this embodiment, a DBN is used as the architecture for constructing a Bayesian Network reliability evaluation model, and then the output of the Bayesian Network reliability evaluation model is used to obtain the state probabilities of the autonomous driving system.

[0050] Step 105: Calculate the reliability and component importance of the autonomous driving system based on the state probability.

[0051] In this embodiment, based on the specific functions to be tested in the autonomous driving system, scene elements and functional testing requirements are randomly combined to generate a functional testing scene library. Based on the functional testing requirements, evaluation indicators and empirical values ​​for these indicators are determined. Simulation tests are conducted based on the functional testing scene library and the empirical values ​​to obtain the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the evaluation indicators. A dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is constructed using the failure rate, and the output of this model is used to obtain the state probabilities of the autonomous driving system. Finally, the credibility and component importance of the autonomous driving system are calculated based on the state probabilities, thus enabling a credibility evaluation of the autonomous driving system.

[0052] In addition, the embodiments of this application can closely link the testing requirements of autonomous driving systems with the testing scenarios, enrich the performance evaluation indicators of each functional module of the autonomous driving system, reduce the development and maintenance costs of the autonomous driving system, and improve the testing efficiency of the autonomous driving system, thereby improving the safety of autonomous driving technology and promoting the deployment and application of high-level autonomous driving on actual roads.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the step of conducting simulation tests based on a functional test scenario library and empirical index values ​​to obtain the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the evaluation index includes:

[0054] Determine the empirical value of each evaluation indicator under each functional module; let the empirical value of the selected evaluation indicator be:

[0055]

[0056] Where: n i Let be the number of evaluation indicators in the i-th functional module; This is the empirical value of the nth indicator in the i-th functional module.

[0057] Test and verify the empirical values ​​of the indicators, and obtain the optimized empirical values ​​of the indicators as the evaluation indicators.

[0058] Specifically, through repeated testing and verification on the simulation platform until a preset threshold is reached, the optimized evaluation index value is finally obtained as follows:

[0059]

[0060] Where: n i Let be the number of evaluation indicators in the i-th functional module; This is the optimized value of the nth indicator in the i-th functional module;

[0061] The autonomous driving system is tested based on the evaluation index values ​​to obtain the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the evaluation index.

[0062] By conducting repeated and extensive tests on the autonomous driving system under test on a simulation platform, combined with optimized evaluation index values, until a preset threshold is reached, the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the corresponding evaluation index can be obtained:

[0063]

[0064] in: Let f(x) represent the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the nth metric in the i-th functional module.

[0065] The failure rate needs to be measured using different standards depending on the test scenario or test requirements. The chosen standard for measuring the failure rate of an autonomous driving system can be based on the test mileage (system failure rate per 100 kilometers / human intervention rate), the test duration (system failure rate per 100 hours / human intervention rate), or the frequency of successful or failed system task completion (system failure frequency), etc.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the step of constructing a dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model using the failure rate, and obtaining the state probability of the autonomous driving system using the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model, includes:

[0067] The autonomous driving system is functionally and hierarchically divided to obtain multiple functional modules and multiple system levels;

[0068] Based on the functional modules and system hierarchy, the graph structure of the dynamic Bayesian network is determined, and the credibility evaluation model of the dynamic Bayesian network is constructed.

[0069] Based on the failure rate, the conditional probability table parameters of each node in the Bayesian network graph structure are calculated for all possible states under various evaluation indicators; where the conditional probability table parameters include the probability values ​​of each node in all possible states.

[0070] The state probability values ​​are used as input to the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model, and the state probability of the autonomous driving system is obtained based on the output of the Bayesian network credibility evaluation model.

[0071] This application uses a Data Structured Network (DBN) as the architecture for constructing a trustworthiness evaluation model. Since the trustworthiness of an autonomous driving system is a function of time, the trustworthiness of complex autonomous driving systems changes dynamically over time. When modeling the trustworthiness of complex autonomous driving systems, nodes in the DBN can represent the states of the system and components, while directed edges between nodes can represent the influence relationships between components and the system. Conditional probability tables are used to quantitatively describe the strength of the association between variables, i.e., the conditional probability of each node relative to all possible states of its parent node.

[0072] Based on the above, the reliability evaluation model of dynamic Bayesian network is constructed in the embodiments of this application in the following way:

[0073] Specifically, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of an autonomous driving system is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the autonomous driving system is first divided into functional and hierarchical categories.

[0074] In terms of functional division, autonomous driving systems can be divided into three functional modules from both the system itself and the overall vehicle perspective: perception module, decision-making and control module, and vehicle performance module. Each functional module can be further divided into components, and components can be divided into hardware and related algorithms. For example, the perception module can be divided into hardware and perception algorithms. Hardware can be divided into cameras, LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, inertial measurement units (IMU), global positioning systems (GPS), etc.; perception algorithms can be divided into algorithms for target detection, target tracking (localization), and trajectory prediction.

[0075] The decision-making and control module can be divided into decision algorithms and control algorithms. Decision algorithms can be further categorized into algorithms based on empirical rules, data-driven approaches, utility functions, and those considering uncertainty and interactivity. Control algorithms can be classified into lateral control, longitudinal control, and lateral-longitudinal coordinated control algorithms. Lateral control can be further divided into model-free control methods, control methods based on vehicle kinematics models, and control methods based on vehicle dynamics models. Longitudinal control can be divided into control methods for cruise control, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking. Lateral-longitudinal coordinated control can be divided into distributed and integrated collaborative methods.

[0076] The overall vehicle performance module needs to consider performance aspects such as stability, comfort, safety, and efficiency.

[0077] In terms of hierarchical division, it can be divided into system level (autonomous driving system), subsystem level (perception module, decision control module, vehicle performance module), and component level (hardware and related algorithms included in the system).

[0078] According to such Figure 4 The functional modules and system hierarchy shown can be used to set a dynamic Bayesian network graphical structure:

[0079] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the dynamic Bayesian network graphical structure is shown, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the Bayesian network graphical structure follows... Figure 4 The functions of a mid-range autonomous driving system are divided into three parts: perception, decision-making, and vehicle performance; according to Figure 4 The hierarchical classification of autonomous driving systems is divided into three levels: system level, subsystem level, and component level.

[0080] The nodes in the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure, from top to bottom, are composed as follows:

[0081] Table 1. Node composition of the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure

[0082]

[0083] It should be noted that in Table 1 above, "system" refers to the autonomous driving system; "module" refers to the functional module; and "model" refers to the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model.

[0084] in, The loop arrow on the parent node indicates that the data of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is updated in real time, with an update interval of "unit 1", i.e., Δt = 1; the prediction time interval set by the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is T0; therefore, the time setting of the entire dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model satisfies: t = {0, 1, ... T0}.

[0085] Subsequently, based on the constructed dynamic Bayesian network graph structure, the conditional probability of each node in the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure is calculated.

[0086] It is important to note that this application uses a Bayesian Network (DBN) as the architecture for the reliability evaluation model. A DBN is a Bayesian network that incorporates temporal information. A DBN can be viewed as multiple Bayesian networks whose time slices are unidirectionally connected. The structure of the Bayesian network in each time slice and the relationships between its nodes are completely identical. The time slice network in frame t is only related to the time slice networks in frames t-1 and t+1, and is independent of other network slices. Therefore, regardless of the value of time t, the conditional probability table of each node remains the same and unchanged.

[0087] Optionally, the conditional probability table parameters for calculating all possible states of each node in the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure based on the failure rate include:

[0088] The failure rate is input into the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model;

[0089] The failure rate of the autonomous driving system obtained in step 103 under the corresponding evaluation index is used as the training input for the entire Bayesian network credibility evaluation model:

[0090]

[0091] in, Let f(x) represent the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the nth evaluation metric in the i-th functional module.

[0092] Calculate the working probability of the autonomous driving system under each of the aforementioned evaluation indicators;

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] in, Let be the working probability of the autonomous driving system under the nth evaluation index in the i-th functional module;

[0096] Based on the aforementioned working probabilities, calculate and output the conditional probability table parameters for all possible states of each node in the Bayesian network graph structure under various evaluation indicators:

[0097]

[0098] Where: P r {Ω} represents the state probability values ​​of the Ω node set, where Ω = {X1(t), X2(t), ..., X} n (t)};

[0099] n is the number of nodes contained in the Ω node set;

[0100] T0 is the set time interval;

[0101] For X i (t) conditional probability of node;

[0102] For X i (t) represents all parent nodes of node (t).

[0103] The process involves using the state probability value as input to a dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model, and obtaining the state probability of the autonomous driving system based on the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model. Specifically:

[0104] The state probability values ​​of the system at time t under various evaluation indicators are used as the input to the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model:

[0105]

[0106] Where: n i Let be the number of evaluation indicators in the i-th functional module;

[0107] Let n be the state probability value of the autonomous driving system under the nth evaluation index of the i-th functional module;

[0108] The output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is the predicted state probability S of the autonomous driving system at time t. W (t).

[0109] Based on the output of the constructed dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model (the state probability S of the autonomous driving system) W (t)) is used to calculate the reliability of the autonomous driving system and the importance of its components.

[0110] To comprehensively elucidate the relationship between component reliability and the trustworthiness of autonomous driving systems, and to quantify the impact of component state changes on the trustworthiness of autonomous driving systems, a metric is needed. This application introduces Birnbaum Importance Measures (BIMs) as a standard to measure the impact of component reliability on the trustworthiness of autonomous driving systems.

[0111] The calculation process is as follows:

[0112] Reliability calculation of autonomous driving system:

[0113]

[0114] Where: R S (t) represents the reliability of the entire system at time t;

[0115] P r {S W (t)=1} is S W The probability that a node is in a "1" state at time t (when the entire system is in a working state);

[0116] For S W All parent nodes of (t);

[0117] Component importance calculation:

[0118]

[0119] in, Indicates the k-th functional module of the i-th function. i One component;

[0120] express The importance value of the component at time t;

[0121] To indicate When node S is in state "1" at time t, W The probability that a node is in a "1" state at time t (when The probability that the autonomous driving system is in a working state when the component is in a working state; this value can... As known conditions, they are obtained from the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model;

[0122] Indicates when C i When node S is in state "0" at time t, W The probability that a node is in a "1" state at time t (when The probability that the system is in a working state when a component is in a failed state; this value can... As known conditions, they are obtained from the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model.

[0123] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0124] The reliability of the autonomous driving system is updated based on the collected observation data.

[0125] Updating the credibility of an autonomous driving system refers to updating the credibility assessment results of the system using collected observation data. Specifically, when new observation data about the autonomous driving system's state is collected, the probability S of the new operating state of the system is inferred using a dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model. W (t).

[0126] In an optional embodiment, updating the reliability of the autonomous driving system based on the collected observation data includes:

[0127] Accept observation data, input the observation data into the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model, and output the corresponding state probability;

[0128] The reliability of the autonomous driving system is recalculated based on the state probabilities.

[0129] Let the collected observation data be E. The observation data can be divided into single-level observation data and multi-level observation data.

[0130] Optionally, for reliability updates of single-level observation data:

[0131]

[0132] Where: P r {S W The result of E(t1) can be obtained by taking E(t1) as a known condition and outputting the reliability evaluation model of dynamic Bayesian network.

[0133] E(t1) is the single-level observation value at time t1;

[0134] S W (t) represents the predicted state probability of the autonomous driving system at time t, where t>t1;

[0135] For reliability updates of multi-level observation data:

[0136]

[0137] Where: P r {S W (t)|E(t1)} can be obtained by dividing E1(t1),E2(t1),…E m (t1) is a known condition, obtained from the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model;

[0138] E1(t1),E2(t1),…E m (t1) represents the multi-level observation value at time t1;

[0139] S W(t) represents the predicted state probability of the autonomous driving system at time t, where t>t1.

[0140] As an example:

[0141] (1) In conjunction with step 101 above, this embodiment of the application takes three typical scenarios—urban intersections, roundabouts, and highway entrances / exits—as examples, based on... Figure 2 The structure of the human-vehicle-road-environment system is shown in Table 2. Table 2 lists the main functions to be tested in the selected typical scenarios for the autonomous driving system.

[0142] Table 2. Key Functional Test Points and Typical Scenario Components of Autonomous Driving Systems in Typical Urban Scenarios

[0143]

[0144]

[0145] (2) Combining the above step 102, based on the clearly defined functional testing requirements, determine the evaluation indicators and empirical values ​​of the evaluation indicators for the autonomous driving system.

[0146] Specifically, taking urban intersections as an example, the corresponding evaluation indicators for autonomous driving systems are shown in Table 3:

[0147] Table 3. Selection of Evaluation Indicators for Intersection Test Scenarios

[0148]

[0149]

[0150] (3) Combining step 103 above, conduct simulation tests based on the functional test scenario library and empirical index values ​​to obtain the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the evaluation index. Specifically, as follows:

[0151] The simulation platform selected for virtual testing is SCANeR. TM studio.

[0152] SCANeR TM Studio is a modular autonomous driving simulation platform that provides all the tools and models needed to build hyper-realistic virtual worlds: road environments, vehicle dynamics, traffic, sensors, real / virtual drivers, headlights, weather conditions, and scene scripts. It is highly versatile and extremely powerful.

[0153] The overall simulation test process is as follows:

[0154] ①The empirical values ​​of the corresponding evaluation indicators selected in step (2) above are known to be:

[0155]

[0156] ② Through repeated testing and verification on the simulation platform, the optimized evaluation index values ​​were finally obtained as follows:

[0157]

[0158] ③ By conducting repeated and extensive tests on the autonomous driving system under test on a simulation platform, combined with the optimized evaluation index values ​​obtained in ②, the failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the corresponding evaluation index values ​​can be obtained:

[0159]

[0160] (4) Combining the above step 104, construct a dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model using the failure rate, and use the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model to obtain the state probability of the autonomous driving system.

[0161] The construction process of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is as follows:

[0162] ① Divide the autonomous driving system into functional and hierarchical categories:

[0163] In terms of functional division, the autonomous driving system is divided into three functional modules: perception module, decision control module, and vehicle performance module. Each functional module can be further divided into components, and each component can be divided into hardware and related algorithms.

[0164] In terms of hierarchical division, it can be divided into system level (autonomous driving system), subsystem level (perception module, decision control module, vehicle performance module), and component level (hardware and related algorithms included in the system).

[0165] ②Based on the functional modules and system hierarchy of the autonomous driving system, define the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure:

[0166] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the dynamic Bayesian network graphical structure in the example is shown. Figure 6 As shown, the dynamic Bayesian network graphical structure is divided into three parts according to the functional modules of the above system decomposition: perception module, decision control module, and vehicle performance module; and into three levels according to the system hierarchy: system level, subsystem level, and component level.

[0167] In the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure, the leases of nodes, from top to bottom, are as follows:

[0168] Table 4. Node composition of the DBN graphical structure of the autonomous driving system in the intersection test scenario.

[0169]

[0170] The update interval is set to "unit 1", i.e., Δt = 1. The prediction time interval set for the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is T0. Therefore, the time setting of the entire dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model satisfies: t = {0, 1, ... T0}.

[0171] ③ Based on the constructed dynamic Bayesian network graph structure, calculate the conditional probability table parameters of all possible states of each node in the dynamic Bayesian network graph structure under various evaluation indicators:

[0172] The calculation process for the conditional probability table parameters of each node is as follows:

[0173] The failure rate of the autonomous driving system obtained in step (3) above under the corresponding evaluation index value is used as the training input for the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model:

[0174]

[0175] The operational probability of an autonomous driving system can be calculated under various evaluation metrics:

[0176]

[0177]

[0178] in: —The probability of the autonomous driving system operating under the nth evaluation metric in the i-th functional module;

[0179] —The failure rate of the autonomous driving system under the nth evaluation index in the i-th functional module;

[0180] Based on the obtained working probabilities, the conditional probability table parameters for all possible states of each node under various evaluation indicators can be calculated:

[0181]

[0182] Where: P r {Ω} represents the state probability values ​​of the Ω node set, where Ω = {X1(t), X2(t), ..., X} n (t)};

[0183] n is the number of nodes contained in the Ω node set;

[0184] T0 is the set time interval;

[0185] For X i (t) conditional probability of node;

[0186] For X i (t) represents all parent nodes of node (t).

[0187] ④ The input to the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is: the state probability value of the system at time t under the measurement of various evaluation indicators:

[0188]

[0189] ⑤ The output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model is: the predicted state probability S of the system at time t. W (t).

[0190] (5) Based on the output of the constructed dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model (the state probability S of the autonomous driving system) W (t)) is used to calculate the reliability of the autonomous driving system and the importance of its components.

[0191] The calculation process is as follows:

[0192] ① Reliability calculation of autonomous driving system:

[0193]

[0194] ② Calculation of component-level importance in autonomous driving systems:

[0195] by Taking the component (the camera component of the perception module) as an example, calculation Importance:

[0196]

[0197] in: Indicates when When node S is in state "1" at time t, W The probability that a node is in a "1" state at time t (the probability that the system is in an active state when the camera is active); this value can be used to... As known conditions, they are obtained from the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model;

[0198] Indicates when When node S is in state "0" at time t, W The probability that a node is in a "1" state at time t (the probability that the system is in a working state when the camera is in a disabled state); this value can be used to... As known conditions, they are obtained from the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model;

[0199] (6) Based on the collected observation data, update the system's reliability.

[0200] Suppose the collected observation data are: The meaning of the observation data is: time t1 The component (camera) is in working order. The component is in a failed state (vehicle stability does not meet the standard), which belongs to multi-level observation data:

[0201] The credibility update process is as follows:

[0202]

[0203] in: Indicates will As a known condition, it can be obtained from the output of the dynamic Bayesian network credibility evaluation model;

[0204] S W (t) — the predicted state probability of the autonomous driving system at time t, where t>t1.
