Detailed Implementation
[0022] The preferred embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this application can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0024] To ensure smooth traffic flow at intersections, vehicles entering the intersection are typically assigned priority based on their arrival time, with earlier arrivals receiving higher priority. Traffic trajectories are then planned accordingly, and lower-priority vehicles must avoid the trajectories of higher-priority vehicles. However, this method results in lower-quality decision-making at intersections because lower-priority vehicles are limited to avoiding the predetermined trajectories of higher-priority vehicles, leading to poor flexibility and comprehensiveness. Furthermore, it is unsuitable for intersections with fixed traffic sequences.

The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Figure 1 This paper illustrates one implementation of a traffic decision-making method based on a region of interest at an intersection, as described in this application.
[0027] Figure 1 The traffic decision-making method shown includes: step S101, at an intersection without traffic lights, obtaining the region of interest of the vehicle at the intersection based on the right-of-way information of the lane in which the vehicle is located;
[0028] Step S102: Filter obstacles within the region of interest based on obstacle characteristics, and determine whether a target vehicle exists within the region of interest; and,
[0029] Step S103: If the target vehicle exists in the area of interest, make a decision to yield at the intersection; if the target vehicle does not exist in the area of interest, make a decision to proceed at the intersection.
[0030] This specific implementation method, while ensuring traffic efficiency, makes the vehicle's traffic decisions at the intersection more accurate, thus ensuring the vehicle's safety and is applicable to intersections with prescribed traffic sequences.
[0031] Specifically, at intersections without traffic lights but with designated right-of-way, vehicles must decide whether to proceed based on the right-of-way of their lane. When a vehicle has the right-of-way, it can proceed without considering the traffic conditions of other vehicles at the intersection. When a vehicle does not have the right-of-way or has a rear right-of-way, it must decide whether to proceed according to the prescribed driving order. For example, if a vehicle does not have the right-of-way, it must yield to vehicles outside the intersection on its right; if a vehicle has a rear right-of-way, it must yield to vehicles outside the intersection on both its left and right sides, and also to vehicles already inside the intersection.
[0032] Before yielding to vehicles in a designated area, you need to determine the area of interest that you need to yield to based on the right-of-way of your lane. Then, within the area of interest, you need to filter for target vehicles according to certain requirements. If there is a target vehicle in the area of interest, you will make a yielding decision. If there is no target vehicle in the area of interest, you will make a passing decision.
[0033] exist Figure 1 The illustrated implementation of the intersection region of interest (ROI) decision-making method includes step S101: at an intersection without traffic lights, the ROI of the vehicle at the intersection is obtained based on the right-of-way information of the lane in which the vehicle is located. This step reduces the number of obstacles that need to be screened by delineating the region, thereby reducing the computational load when making intersection decisions. It is also applicable to ROI decisions at intersections with limited traffic order.
[0034] Specifically, at intersections without traffic lights but with defined right-of-way information, the prescribed driving order is determined based on the right-of-way information of the lane in which the vehicle is located, and the area information that the vehicle needs to yield to is obtained. Within this yielding area, calculations are performed to determine the region of interest (ROI) for the vehicle. The ROI refers to the area with higher traffic priority than the vehicle itself.
[0035] For example, such as Figure 2 When the lane in which the vehicle is located has no right-of-way information, the vehicle needs to yield to vehicles in the area outside the intersection to its right. After determining the area outside the intersection where the vehicle needs to yield, the region of interest for the vehicle is filtered based on factors such as the lane's permitted direction of travel. Figure 2 The shaded area where car A is located is the region of interest for car A.
[0036] In one specific embodiment of this application, step S101 includes: determining the yield lane of the vehicle when there is no right-of-way information in the lane where the vehicle is located, and determining the region of interest outside the intersection based on the position of the driving lane; determining the yield lane of the vehicle when there is a right-of-way in the lane where the vehicle is located, and determining the region of interest outside the intersection and the region of interest inside the intersection based on the position of the yield lane and the intersection. This specific embodiment can accurately and efficiently calculate the region of interest, reduce the number of obstacles that need to be considered, and lay the foundation for reducing the amount of computation in the decision-making process.
[0037] Specifically, when the right-of-way information for the lane where the vehicle is located indicates no right-of-way, it needs to yield to vehicles outside the intersection on the right side of its direction of travel. When the right-of-way information for the lane where the vehicle is located indicates a rear right-of-way, it needs to yield to vehicles outside the intersection on the right side of its direction of travel, vehicles outside the intersection on the left side of its direction of travel, and vehicles within the intersection. However, these areas also include non-motorized vehicles, pedestrians, and vehicles exiting the intersection. Filtering these data during data selection would result in a large data volume and require significant computational power. Therefore, obtaining all lanes within the yielding area and the lane information for each lane, and filtering the yielding lanes based on the types of vehicles allowed to pass through the lane and the permitted directions of travel, reduces the computational load in the decision-making process while ensuring decision accuracy.
[0038] In one specific embodiment of this application, step S101 includes: filtering the yielding lanes according to their permitted direction of travel and permitted vehicle types to obtain target lanes where the direction of travel is entering the intersection and the permitted vehicle type is motor vehicles; extending a predetermined width threshold outward from the positions of the two outermost lane lines of the target lanes to obtain a first boundary of the region of interest; and obtaining a second boundary of the region of interest based on the position of the stop line at the intersection and a preset length threshold; and using the first and second boundaries to determine the region of interest outside the intersection. This specific embodiment can accurately filter and obtain the region of interest outside the intersection, reducing the amount of computation and ensuring the smoothness of traffic at the intersection.
[0039] Specifically, based on the permitted driving direction and permitted vehicle types of the lanes, target lanes are selected where the driving direction is towards entering the intersection and the permitted vehicle type is motor vehicles. The width of the region of interest (ROI) outside the intersection is obtained by extending outwards from the positions of the two outermost lane lines of the target lanes by a predetermined width threshold. The ROI outside the intersection is then defined based on the position of the stop line in the yield zone, a preset length threshold for the ROI outside the intersection, and the width of the ROI outside the intersection. When the yield zone is outside the intersection, all lanes within the yield zone and lane information for each lane are acquired. Lanes where the permitted vehicle type is non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians are excluded, as are lanes where the permitted driving direction is towards U-turns and exiting the intersection. The two outermost lane lines of the remaining lanes where the driving direction is towards entering the intersection and the permitted vehicle type are motor vehicles are used as the basis for extending the width of the ROI. The width of the ROI outside the intersection is obtained by extending outwards from the two outermost lane lines by a predetermined width threshold. Starting from the position of the stop line at the intersection of the yield zone, the region of interest of the vehicle outside the intersection is defined according to the preset length threshold and width of the region of interest outside the intersection.
[0040] For example, such as Figure 2 When there is no right-of-way information in the lane where vehicle A is located, the shaded area where vehicle A is located is designated as the region of interest outside the intersection. For example... Figure 3 When there is right-of-way information in the lane where the vehicle is located, the shaded areas where vehicle A and vehicle C are located are designated as regions of interest outside the intersection.
[0041] In one specific embodiment of this application, step S101 includes acquiring the predicted driving trajectory of the vehicle within the intersection, and defining the area extending to both sides of the predicted driving trajectory to obtain a predetermined width as the region of interest within the intersection. This specific embodiment can accurately filter out the region of interest within the intersection, reduce the amount of computation, and ensure the smoothness of traffic flow at the intersection.
[0042] Specifically, based on the predicted driving direction of vehicles exiting the lane or vehicles currently traveling within the intersection, the vehicle's current position is used as the starting point of the predicted driving trajectory. Connecting the starting point of the predicted driving trajectory to the intersection stop line of the lane the vehicle needs to enter yields the predicted driving trajectory of the vehicle in the predicted driving direction. Based on the virtual predicted trajectory and a predetermined expansion threshold, the region of interest (ROI) of the vehicle within the intersection is obtained.
[0043] For example, such as Figure 3 When the yield zone is within the intersection, the predicted driving trajectory of the vehicle is trajectory a. Extending the predicted driving trajectory a to both sides by a predetermined width yields... Figure 3 The area enclosed by the dashed line is designated as the region of interest within the intersection.
[0044] exist Figure 1 In the specific implementation shown, the traffic decision-making method based on the region of interest at an intersection further includes step S102, which involves filtering obstacles within the region of interest based on obstacle characteristics and determining whether a target vehicle exists within the region of interest. This step ensures the accuracy of the decision and reduces the computational load during the decision-making process.
[0045] In one specific embodiment of this application, step S102 includes performing Frenet coordinate transformation on the obstacles to obtain valid obstacles; filtering the valid obstacles based on vehicle characteristics to obtain vehicle obstacles; and filtering the vehicle obstacles based on the angle formed by the vehicle and the vehicle obstacles to obtain the target vehicle. This specific implementation can accurately filter and obtain the target vehicle, ensuring the accuracy of the decision result.
[0046] Specifically, within the region of interest, valid obstacle information is traversed, and targets that can be transformed into the Frenet coordinate system are filtered out to eliminate virtual obstacles, resulting in valid obstacles. Virtual obstacles include traffic cones and false obstacles fitted from predicted trajectories. Then, these valid obstacles are traversed, and pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are removed based on obstacle characteristics to obtain vehicle obstacles. The filtered vehicle obstacles are then subjected to angle filtering to obtain the target vehicles. Angle filtering includes filtering the angle between the vehicle's frontal orientation and the driver's frontal orientation, and filtering the velocity angle between the vehicle's speed direction and the driver's speed direction.
[0047] In one specific embodiment of this application, step S102 includes: filtering vehicle obstacles based on the directional angle formed by the vehicle's frontal orientation and that of the obstacle to obtain obstacles within an angle threshold; and filtering obstacles within the angle threshold to obtain a target vehicle based on the speed angle formed by the vehicle and the obstacle within the angle threshold. This specific implementation ensures that the filtered obstacles meet the requirements, further guaranteeing the accuracy and correctness of the decision on whether to yield based on the target vehicle within the region of interest.
[0048] For example, when the region of interest is outside the intersection to the right of the vehicle, the system iterates through the obstacles within that region, filtering for obstacles whose facing angle is between 0 and 90° and the vehicle's facing angle. This filters out vehicles making U-turns within the intersection or those entering the intersection, thus obtaining obstacles within an angle threshold. Then, the system iterates through the obstacles within the angle threshold within the region of interest, filtering for obstacles whose speed direction is between 0 and 90° and the vehicle's angle, thus filtering out stationary vehicles to obtain the target vehicle.
[0049] When the region of interest (ROI) is outside the intersection to the right of the vehicle, outside the intersection to the left of the vehicle, and inside the intersection, the obstacles within the ROI of the left-front intersection are traversed, and obstacles with the vehicle's heading angle between -90° and 0° are filtered out to obtain obstacles within the angle threshold. The same process is repeated within the ROI of the left-front intersection, filtering out obstacles with the vehicle's speed direction angle between -90° and 0° to obtain the target vehicle. The same process is repeated within the ROI of the right-front intersection, filtering out obstacles with the vehicle's heading angle between 0° and 90° to obtain obstacles within the angle threshold. Finally, the ROI of the intersection itself is traversed, filtering out obstacles with the vehicle's heading angle between -45° and -180° and between 45° and 180° to obtain obstacles within the angle threshold. Iterate through obstacles within the angle threshold of the region of interest in the intersection, and filter out obstacles whose angle between the vehicle's speed direction and the vehicle's own direction is in the range of -45° to -180° and 45° to 180° to obtain the target vehicle. The angle mentioned above is a vector angle, and the angle is positive when rotating counterclockwise and negative when rotating clockwise.
[0050] exist Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, the traffic decision-making method based on the region of interest at an intersection further includes step S103: if a target vehicle exists within the region of interest, a yield decision is made at the intersection; if no target vehicle exists within the region of interest, a passage decision is made at the intersection. This specific embodiment, while ensuring traffic efficiency, makes the passage decisions made by the vehicle at the intersection more accurate, ensuring the vehicle's safety, and is applicable to intersections with prescribed traffic sequences.
[0051] Furthermore, when the vehicle's lane has no right-of-way information or has a subsequent right-of-way, the region of interest (ROI) of the vehicle at the intersection is calculated, and the vehicle's decision at the intersection is made based on whether a target vehicle exists within the ROI. When the vehicle's lane has a right-of-way, the vehicle's decision to proceed at the current intersection is determined to be to proceed.
