Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle driving assistance technology, specifically to methods, systems, media, and equipment for assessing vehicle cutting-in collision risks. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information relating to this disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With the increasing application of intelligent autonomous driving technology, the safety and reliability of intelligent autonomous driving has become a key focus in the field of autonomous driving. On highways or urban roads, following vehicles will encounter many scenarios where vehicles in front change lanes or cut in, even when the safe distance is insufficient. This affects the timely judgment of following vehicles and may lead to rear-end collisions, affecting driving safety.

[0004] Existing collision risk assessment methods for lane changes rely on vehicle perception to analyze the lane-changing actions of the vehicle in front and promptly alert the driver to take control of the vehicle. However, this method ignores vehicle speed and distance, and is not very effective in terms of the timeliness and accuracy of vehicle control. Furthermore, it often relies on the driver's experience to slow down and avoid collisions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure proposes a method, system, medium, and equipment for assessing vehicle cutting-in collision risks. It senses the lateral and longitudinal speeds and safe distances of vehicles in adjacent lanes, and constructs mathematical models for lateral and longitudinal collision risk assessment. The system then performs lateral and longitudinal risk assessments on vehicles cutting in or making emergency cut-ins from ahead, and promptly controls the vehicle to decelerate and avoid collisions.

[0006] According to some embodiments, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Methods for assessing the risk of vehicle cutting-in collisions include:

[0008] Construct horizontal and vertical security assessment models;

[0009] The vehicle acquires environmental perception information and its own vehicle attitude information, and inputs them into the lateral safety assessment model for lateral detection. If a lateral safety risk is detected, the information is then input into the longitudinal safety assessment model for longitudinal detection. If there is no risk in the longitudinal safety check, no active control is taken. If there is a risk, longitudinal control is performed based on the results of the longitudinal safety assessment model, and the deceleration of the active control is calculated to reduce speed.

[0010] According to some embodiments, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions:

[0025] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] One embodiment of this disclosure provides a method for assessing vehicle cutting-in collision risk. During normal driving, the intelligent driving vehicle perceives vehicles in adjacent lanes ahead in real time, monitors lateral and longitudinal speeds, safe distances, etc., and, combined with its own speed and position, constructs mathematical models for lateral and longitudinal collision risk assessment. The method performs lateral and longitudinal risk assessments on vehicles cutting in front or making emergency cut-ins, including:

[0028] Construct horizontal and vertical security assessment models;

[0029] The vehicle acquires environmental perception information and its own vehicle attitude information, and inputs them into the lateral safety assessment model for lateral detection. If a lateral safety risk is detected, the information is then input into the longitudinal safety assessment model for longitudinal detection. If there is no risk in the longitudinal safety check, no active control is taken. If there is a risk, longitudinal control is performed based on the results of the longitudinal safety assessment model, and the deceleration of the active control is calculated to reduce speed.

[0030] As one example, the construction process of the lateral safety assessment model and the longitudinal safety assessment model in the vehicle cutting-in collision risk assessment method includes:

[0031] Specifically, the collision risk assessment model for lane-changing vehicles first establishes a lateral safety check model: if a vehicle with a lane-changing tendency is in front of the vehicle, the distance between the rear of the vehicle in front and the front of the vehicle is obtained, as well as the lateral speed of the vehicle cutting into the lane. The longitudinal speed of the vehicle is controlled to be greater than the longitudinal speed of the vehicle in front, and a lateral collision assessment model is constructed.

[0032] Specifically, the distance between the rear of the vehicle in front and the front of this vehicle must be greater than 0, and the lateral speed of the vehicle cutting into this lane must be greater than 0.

[0033] 1) The distance between the rear of a vehicle participating in the traffic and the front of this vehicle:

[0034] dist lon >0

[0035] 2) Vehicles participating in the traffic are moving into this lane and have lateral speed:

[0036] vy cut_in >0

[0037] 3) The longitudinal speed of the vehicle is greater than the longitudinal speed of the other vehicles in the traffic:

[0038] vx ego_lon vx cut_in

[0039] 4) Lateral collision safety assessment model:

[0040]

[0041] Where, length ego The length of the vehicle. cut_in For the length of the vehicle to be cut in, factor safe For safety, the factor is 0.1. safe It can be calibrated.

[0042] Furthermore, for the longitudinal collision safety assessment model, two safety indicators need to be evaluated: the Active Fuzzy Safety Index (PFS) and the Critical Safety Index (CFS). When both the Active Fuzzy Safety Index and the Critical Safety Index are greater than 0, it is judged that there is a collision risk, and intervention and control are required.

[0043] Specifically, the Active Fuzzy Security Indicator (PFS):

[0044]

[0045] Key Security Metrics (CFS):

[0046]

[0047] Among them, dist follow This is the stationary following distance, 3m, calibrable; dist unsafe An unsafe following distance can lead to collisions and can be calibrated; dist safe The safe following distance can be calibrated.

[0048] When the vehicle acquires environmental perception information and its own attitude information, it inputs these into the lateral safety assessment model for lateral detection. If all conditions are met, a lateral collision risk is identified. If a lateral safety risk is determined, the information is then input into the longitudinal safety assessment model for longitudinal detection. If no longitudinal safety risk is detected, no active control is implemented. If the PFS and CFS are greater than 0, a collision risk is identified, requiring intervention control. If a risk is detected, longitudinal control is implemented based on the results of the longitudinal safety assessment model, and the active control deceleration is calculated for slowing down.

[0049] Based on the assessment of the above lateral and longitudinal collision safety models, if there is a lateral or longitudinal collision wind direction, the vehicle needs to be decelerated. The deceleration can be calculated using the following model:

[0050]

[0051] Among them, decc ctr To control deceleration, decc ego_max decc is the maximum deceleration of the vehicle. ego_comf Reduce speed for comfort.

If a lateral safety risk is determined, the information is then input into the longitudinal safety evaluation model for longitudinal detection. If there is no risk in the longitudinal safety check, no active control is taken. If there is a risk, longitudinal control is performed based on the results of the longitudinal safety evaluation model, and the deceleration of the active control is calculated for deceleration.
