[0039] Example 1
[0040] This embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted natural disaster detection system.
[0041] Intelligent vehicles are equipped with a variety of advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and communication modules. These technologies can be used to observe and analyze ground weather and the environment. They can play an important role not only in the detection and early warning of natural disasters, but also in providing assisted or autonomous safe driving and rescue services before or during disasters, which is of great significance.
[0042] This embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted natural disaster detection system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes various types of sensors configured on the vehicle, an on-board host, an on-board communication module (which can be an antenna), and an on-board positioning device (which can be an on-board GPS).
[0043] The sensors include: cameras, radar, light and rain sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, and barometric pressure sensors, which can observe ground weather and environmental conditions. Cameras can collect data on the vehicle's surroundings, radar can collect point cloud data and water level information, and light and rain sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and barometric pressure sensors can collect atmospheric conditions.
[0044] The vehicle-mounted host, based on data collected by sensors (images of the vehicle's surrounding environment, point cloud data of the vehicle's surrounding environment, water level information, rainfall information, and meteorological information), identifies the type and intensity of natural disasters and obtains the vehicle's location from the onboard positioning device. The surface of the light-rain sensor can sense the size, density, and speed of raindrops; the radar under the rearview mirror can detect the distance from the rearview mirror to the water surface and the distance from the rearview mirror to the ground, calculating the water level by the difference; temperature, humidity, and air pressure sensors monitor atmospheric conditions in real time, and combined with camera vision, can determine meteorological information such as sunny or cloudy weather and the degree of rainfall.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the intelligent car converts the electrical signals (including vehicle location, natural disaster type and intensity, etc.) into electromagnetic wave radiation into the air through the antenna, the satellite antenna receives the signal in the air, and after filtering, amplification and frequency conversion, it is sent to the ground station, or the nearest base station receives the signal after modulation and demodulation and sends it to the mobile switching center, thereby completing the information sharing between the intelligent car and the weather station or emergency command center, etc., providing information support for the prevention and response of natural disasters.
[0046] In addition, the intelligent car can also receive meteorological information, natural disaster type and intensity issued by relevant departments through satellite or ground base station. Specifically, the intelligent car converts the electrical signals of the vehicle location into electromagnetic wave radiation into the air through the antenna, the satellite antenna receives the signal in the air, and after filtering, amplification and frequency conversion, it is sent to the weather station or emergency command center, or the nearest base station receives the signal after modulation and demodulation and sends it to the weather station or emergency command center, and the weather station or emergency command center returns the meteorological information and / or natural disaster information (natural disaster type and intensity) corresponding to the vehicle location to the intelligent car through the satellite or ground base station.
[0047] The vehicle-mounted host computer automatically or assists the driver to take corresponding measures such as deceleration, parking, autonomous planning of safe route, and seeking of refuge point, etc. according to the natural disaster type and intensity, combined with the vehicle surrounding environment picture, the vehicle surrounding environment point cloud data, and the automatic driving technology.
[0048] As an embodiment, an SOS button connected with the vehicle-mounted host computer is arranged on the vehicle. When a natural disaster occurs, the driver can press the SOS button, and after the vehicle-mounted host computer receives the SOS button starting instruction, the GPS module immediately sends the vehicle location information to the terminal of the rescue department and friends and relatives. At the same time, the driver can also make voice or video calls with the rescue department and friends and relatives through the intelligent car network or satellite communication technology.
[0049] In addition, the vehicle-mounted host computer is also connected with the alarm and the lamp, and after receiving the SOS button starting instruction, the vehicle alarm sound and light prompt can be started to attract the attention of the surrounding people.
[0050] The vehicle-mounted host computer, vehicle-mounted communication module, vehicle-mounted positioning device, alarm and lamp are also connected with the solar panel, which is used to supply power for the vehicle-mounted host computer, vehicle-mounted communication module, vehicle-mounted positioning device, alarm and lamp, etc. In order to cope with possible emergency situations, the intelligent car is installed with a small solar panel on the roof or part of the body. When the battery power is lower than the preset threshold, the solar power supply system will be started to ensure the basic communication function of the vehicle and avoid the vehicle from being out of contact.
[0051] As Figure 2As shown, the rain detection device used in this embodiment includes a pressure sensor 4 arranged on the fender inner lining 5, and a filter screen 3 arranged between the pressure sensor 4 and the wheel 1; the pressure sensor 4 is connected with the vehicle host. When part of the rainwater enters the tire pattern along the rainwater path 2 and rotates with the tire, the pressure sensor 4 detects the pressure change caused by the impact potential of the rainwater and converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal to send to the controller (vehicle host) for analysis to identify the amount of rain. Among them, the filter screen 3 can protect the pressure sensor 4 from being covered with mud, causing the pressure sensor to malfunction.
[0052] The rain detection device used in this embodiment also includes a rain sensor connected with the vehicle host, and the rain sensor is arranged on the windshield. By comparing and analyzing the amount of rain detected by the pressure sensor 4 with the amount of rain detected by the traditional windshield rain sensor, the accuracy and reliability of rain detection are improved, providing accurate data support for natural disaster detection.
[0053] Since the intelligent vehicle is equipped with various advanced sensors, artificial intelligence and communication modules, it can detect and analyze the type and intensity of natural disasters in real time, and share key data with relevant departments. Compared with traditional weather detection stations, intelligent vehicles cover a wider and more intensive range, thereby improving the detection and early warning capabilities of natural disasters.

Before or during a natural disaster, the vehicle automatically or assists the driver to take appropriate measures such as slowing down, stopping, autonomously planning a safe route, and finding a safe place to hide, etc. In addition, the vehicle can also send a distress signal to the rescue department and friends and relatives, including the vehicle's location, status, number of passengers, etc. The intelligent vehicle can determine whether to pop up the airbag, close the window, etc. to protect the passengers and reduce the harm. It can also start a solar power supply system to ensure the basic communication function of the vehicle and avoid the vehicle from being out of contact.
[0055] The vehicle-mounted natural disaster detection system provided in this embodiment uses intelligent vehicle technology to enhance the detection and early warning capabilities of natural disasters. In order to prevent the driver from making mistakes due to panic before or during a natural disaster, the auxiliary or autonomous driving function of the intelligent vehicle and the passenger protection function are also considered to ensure the safety of the driver and the vehicle, which makes the vehicle an important helper for human society in natural disasters.
[0056] The vehicle-mounted natural disaster detection system provided by the embodiment covers various types of natural disasters, including floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons and avalanches, and can thus adapt to different scenarios. By combining the intelligent vehicle with the natural disaster warning system and utilizing the auxiliary or autonomous driving technology and passenger protection function of the intelligent vehicle, the safety of the driver and the vehicle can be improved.
