Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of autonomous driving technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for detecting right-of-way in unmanned vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Autonomous vehicles exchange information with people, vehicles, and roads through onboard environmental perception systems and information terminals, enabling them to have intelligent environmental perception capabilities. They can automatically analyze the safety and danger of driving and reach the destination according to the driver's wishes, ultimately achieving the goal of replacing human operation.
[0003] Controlling autonomous vehicles essentially involves controlling their speed and direction, demanding not only tracking and comfort but also safety. Right-of-way (RW) provides a rigorous definition of this requirement. It refers to a vehicle's right to occupy the required space ahead at any given moment during its journey. In autonomous driving, right-of-way describes the road space needed for the vehicle's safe operation. Right-of-way detection technology is a key technology for achieving autonomous driving. Its development direction is to utilize high-precision, high-reliability sensors and communication technologies to achieve accurate detection and real-time adjustment of right-of-way, thereby ensuring safe driving and efficient operation of the vehicle.
[0004] The existing related technologies have the following drawbacks:
[0005] Existing right-of-way detection technologies mainly rely on single sensors, such as lidar or cameras, which are easily affected by environmental conditions and make it difficult to achieve all-weather, high-precision right-of-way detection. Furthermore, they lack sufficient understanding of the interactions of traffic participants, making it difficult to accurately predict the trajectories and intentions of other vehicles, resulting in inaccurate right-of-way calculations.
[0006] Furthermore, existing technologies rely on single-vehicle right-of-way perception and calculation, lacking information sharing between different vehicles, making collaborative autonomous driving difficult. The representation and visualization of right-of-way information are not intuitive enough, hindering human drivers from understanding and monitoring the vehicle's autonomous driving decisions. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an onboard sensor and its detection mechanism.
[0059] Figure 3 The radar chart to be created. Detailed Implementation
[0060] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0061] This invention provides a method for detecting right-of-way for autonomous vehicles. First, a sensor module actively senses and continuously updates the current environment. Then, a data processing module obtains measured and calculated right-of-way information. The right-of-way can be stored or shared with other vehicles. Based on the predicted right-of-way, the vehicle's movement is constrained. Finally, a right-of-way visualization module displays the information visually to the user, enabling human-machine collaborative control.
[0062] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the method specifically includes the following:
[0063] Step S1: Autonomous vehicles actively perceive and continuously update their current environment using onboard sensor systems, including cameras, lidar, millimeter-wave radar, infrared radar, etc.
[0064] Step S2: Process the information detected by the sensor module to obtain the measured right-of-way and the calculated right-of-way. The measured right-of-way is obtained by measuring the drivable space of the vehicle through the actual sensors; and based on the measured right-of-way, the calculated right-of-way is obtained by comprehensively considering the length, width, and speed of the autonomous vehicle using a right-of-way function.
[0065] The measured right-of-way is obtained by actually measuring the drivable space of the vehicle through sensors. The calculation of the right-of-way needs to be based on the measured right-of-way, taking into account the length, width and speed of the autonomous vehicle, and is calculated using the right-of-way function.
[0066] The formula for calculating right-of-way is:
[0067]
[0068] Where, d real The vector represents the distance required for the vehicle to travel safely at present; γ represents the maximum safe angle range for the vehicle to travel at present; L represents the length of the vehicle; W represents the width of the vehicle; v represents the current speed of the vehicle (the speed of the vehicle's center of gravity); d represents the current distance directly in front of the vehicle; and t represents time. i This represents time i during the vehicle's movement.
[0069] It should be noted that the following aspects are considered when calculating right-of-way:
[0070] 1) Vehicle parameters: Different types and sizes of vehicles have different safe distances d and safe angles θ, which directly affect their right-of-way.
[0071] 2) Driving status: The greater the vehicle's speed v, the greater its reaction time and braking distance, so it is necessary to obtain a longer right-of-way distance in advance to ensure safe driving.
[0072] 3) Surrounding traffic flow: When the surrounding traffic flow q is larger, it is more difficult for autonomous vehicles to obtain right-of-way, and the right-of-way range will be reduced accordingly.
[0073] 4) Available road conditions; the larger the available distance s, the clearer the road ahead, and the greater the right-of-way that the autonomous vehicle can obtain.
[0074] In summary, the right-of-way calculation formula can combine information from multiple sources to calculate the right-of-way required for the safe driving of autonomous vehicles in the current environment, providing a reference for their driving control and decision-making, so as to achieve safe and efficient autonomous driving.
[0075] Reference Figure 3 As shown, step S3: predict the trajectories of surrounding vehicles, use the trajectory prediction results of surrounding vehicles as constraints, and obtain the predicted right-of-way based on the calculated right-of-way.
[0076] Specifically, right-of-way mapping involves mapping the calculated right-of-way results onto a radar map. The trajectory prediction model for surrounding vehicles takes as input historical trajectory information of surrounding vehicles and road map information; its form is: the coordinates of each surrounding vehicle within the current autonomous vehicle coordinate system over the past T time steps.
[0077] Historical trajectory information and road map information are sensed and processed by onboard sensors, and the output is the future trajectory distribution of surrounding vehicles. It is assumed that the future trajectory distribution of surrounding vehicles conforms to a Gaussian mixture model, and its form is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] Where s = s 1:t Let T represent the T trajectories obtained from the trajectory predictor regression. μ represents the mean of the T trajectories under a Gaussian distribution. ∑ represents the variance of the T trajectories under a Gaussian distribution. i This represents the probability of each trajectory after softmax calculation.
[0080] The trajectory prediction results of surrounding vehicles are used as constraints, and different types of vehicles have different risk levels;
[0081] RW′(d real ,γ)=RW(d real ,γ)-p(s)×C
[0082] Where RW represents the calculated right-of-way, RW′ represents the predicted right-of-way, p(s) represents the future trajectory distribution of vehicles, and C represents the weight coefficient of different vehicle categories;
[0083] The predicted right-of-way is obtained by subtracting the future trajectory distribution of surrounding vehicles from the calculated right-of-way.
[0084] Step S4: This step stores historical right-of-way information for autonomous vehicles, facilitating subsequent analysis and research. This module can store calculated and predicted right-of-way information in a database or file format for easy querying and analysis by users.
[0085] Step S5: Used to transmit vehicle location, speed and other information to other vehicles using the vehicle communication system, thereby realizing the sharing and management of right-of-way.
[0086] Step S6: This step displays right-of-way information to the user in a visual format, allowing them to easily understand the current right-of-way situation. This module can display right-of-way information in the form of radar charts, maps, etc., making it easier for users to observe and make decisions regarding overtaking or changing lanes.
[0087] Vehicle status display: In addition to right-of-way information, vehicle status can be displayed to users in a visual format, including vehicle position, speed, acceleration, etc. This helps users better understand the vehicle's movement status and make more accurate decisions.
[0088] Traffic information display: In addition to right-of-way information, traffic information can be presented to users in a visual format, including road conditions and traffic flow. This helps users better understand the current road situation and make more informed decisions.
[0089] Support for multiple display methods: In addition to radar charts and maps, it also supports various display methods such as 3D maps and virtual reality. This allows users to understand right-of-way information and vehicle status more intuitively, improving the user experience.
[0090] User interaction support: In addition to displaying information, it can also support user interaction. For example, users can click on a location on the map to obtain right-of-way information and traffic conditions for that location. This makes it easier for users to obtain the information they need and improves user satisfaction.
[0091] This invention also provides a right-of-way detection system for autonomous vehicles. This system can be implemented by executing the steps of the right-of-way detection method for autonomous vehicles. That is, those skilled in the art can understand the right-of-way detection method for autonomous vehicles as a preferred embodiment of the right-of-way detection system. The system specifically includes the following:
[0092] Sensor module: Autonomous vehicles actively perceive and continuously update their current environment using onboard sensor systems, including cameras, lidar, millimeter-wave radar, infrared radar, etc.
[0093] Data processing module: Processes the information detected by the sensor module to obtain measured right-of-way and calculated right-of-way. Measured right-of-way is obtained by using the vehicle's drivable space as actually measured by the sensors; and calculated right-of-way is obtained based on the measured right-of-way, taking into account the autonomous vehicle's length, width, and speed, using a right-of-way function.
[0094] The measured right-of-way is obtained by actually measuring the drivable space of the vehicle through sensors. The calculation of the right-of-way needs to be based on the measured right-of-way, taking into account the length, width and speed of the autonomous vehicle, and is calculated using the right-of-way function.
[0095] The formula for calculating right-of-way is:
[0096]
[0097] Where, d real The vector represents the distance required for the vehicle to travel safely at present; γ represents the maximum safe angle range for the vehicle to travel at present; L represents the length of the vehicle; W represents the width of the vehicle; v represents the current speed of the vehicle (the speed of the vehicle's center of gravity); d represents the current distance directly in front of the vehicle; and t represents time. i This represents time i during the vehicle's movement.
[0098] It should be noted that the following aspects are considered when calculating right-of-way:
[0099] 1) Vehicle parameters: Different types and sizes of vehicles have different safe distances d and safe angles θ, which directly affect their right-of-way.
[0100] 2) Driving status: The greater the vehicle's speed v, the greater its reaction time and braking distance, so it is necessary to obtain a longer right-of-way distance in advance to ensure safe driving.
[0101] 3) Surrounding traffic flow: When the surrounding traffic flow q is larger, it is more difficult for autonomous vehicles to obtain right-of-way, and the right-of-way range will be reduced accordingly.
[0102] 4) Available road conditions; the larger the available distance s, the clearer the road ahead, and the greater the right-of-way that the autonomous vehicle can obtain.
[0103] In summary, the right-of-way calculation formula can combine information from multiple sources to calculate the right-of-way required for the safe driving of autonomous vehicles in the current environment, providing a reference for their driving control and decision-making, so as to achieve safe and efficient autonomous driving.
[0104] Right-of-way prediction module: Predicts the trajectories of surrounding vehicles, uses the predicted trajectories of surrounding vehicles as constraints, and obtains the predicted right-of-way based on the calculated right-of-way.

The trajectory prediction model for surrounding vehicles takes as input historical trajectory information of surrounding vehicles and road map information; its form is: the coordinates of each surrounding vehicle within the current autonomous vehicle coordinate system over the past T time steps.
[0106] Historical trajectory information and road map information are sensed and processed by onboard sensors, and the output is the future trajectory distribution of surrounding vehicles. It is assumed that the future trajectory distribution of surrounding vehicles conforms to a Gaussian mixture model, and its form is as follows:
[0107]
[0108] Where s = s 1:t Let T represent the T trajectories obtained from the trajectory predictor regression. μ represents the mean of the T trajectories under a Gaussian distribution. ∑ represents the variance of the T trajectories under a Gaussian distribution. i This represents the probability of each trajectory after softmax calculation.
[0109] The trajectory prediction results of surrounding vehicles are used as constraints, and different types of vehicles have different risk levels;
[0110] RW′(d real ,γ)=RW(d real ,γ)-p(s)×C
[0111] Where RW represents the calculated right-of-way, RW′ represents the predicted right-of-way, p(s) represents the future trajectory distribution of vehicles, and C represents the weight coefficient of different vehicle categories;
[0112] The predicted right-of-way is obtained by subtracting the future trajectory distribution of surrounding vehicles from the calculated right-of-way.

It can present this information in the form of radar charts, maps, etc., allowing users to observe and make decisions regarding overtaking or lane changing.
[0116] Vehicle status display: In addition to right-of-way information, vehicle status can be displayed to users in a visual format, including vehicle position, speed, acceleration, etc. This helps users better understand the vehicle's movement status and make more accurate decisions.
[0117] Traffic information display: In addition to right-of-way information, traffic information can be presented to users in a visual format, including road conditions and traffic flow. This helps users better understand the current road situation and make more informed decisions.
[0118] Support for multiple display methods: In addition to radar charts and maps, it also supports various display methods such as 3D maps and virtual reality. This allows users to understand right-of-way information and vehicle status more intuitively, improving the user experience.

For example, users can click on a location on the map to obtain right-of-way information and traffic conditions for that location. This makes it easier for users to obtain the information they need and improves user satisfaction.
