[0002] With the vigorous development of the automobile industry, the number of cars has increased year by year, which will lead to frequent traffic accidents, seriously threatening the safety of life and property. Therefore, people pay more and more attention to automobile safety systems. As a typical representative of automobile safety systems, airbags protect the safety of drivers and passengers by real-time monitoring of collision accidents during vehicle driving and detonating airbags.
[0003] The current airbags obtain acceleration sensor signals in real time and decide whether to deploy the airbags based on whether the calibrated acceleration threshold is reached. However, the existing technology only uses the acceleration signal as a collision parameter to control the airbag control scheme, which may cause the airbag to deploy accidentally in the following conditions: (1) bumpy and rough roads, such as Belgian roads and off-road roads; (2) collisions with static roadblocks, such as sand piles, telephone poles, trash cans, and roadside trees; (3) when the driver closes the door or engine hood forcefully when the vehicle is stationary.

[0039] This embodiment provides a safety airbag control method running on the electronic device of the above vehicle. Figure 2 is a flow chart of an airbag control method according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0040] Step S21, obtaining driving information of the target vehicle, the driving information at least includes: road information, obstacle information, collision acceleration, wherein the road information at least includes road type, the road type at least includes smooth road and bumpy road, the obstacle information at least includes one of the following: obstacle type, obstacle relative distance, obstacle relative speed, obstacle relative acceleration, obstacle type includes special static obstacles, vulnerable traffic participants and motor vehicles, special static obstacles at least include sand piles, electric poles, trash cans and roadside trees, vulnerable traffic participants at least include pedestrians and non-motor vehicles;
[0041] Step S22, using the collision prediction model to process the driving information to obtain fused collision parameters;
[0042] Step S23, when it is determined that the fused collision parameter meets the preset condition, a control instruction set is generated, and the control instruction set is used to control the deployment of the safety airbag.
[0043] Through the above steps, the driving information of the target vehicle is obtained, and the driving information includes at least: road information, obstacle information, and collision acceleration, wherein the road information includes at least the road type, and the road type includes at least smooth roads and bumpy roads, and the obstacle information includes at least one of the following: obstacle type, obstacle relative distance, obstacle relative speed, and obstacle relative acceleration. The obstacle type includes special static obstacles, vulnerable traffic participants, and motor vehicles. Special static obstacles include at least sand piles, electric poles, trash cans, and roadside trees. Vulnerable traffic participants include at least pedestrians and non-motor vehicles; the driving information is processed using a collision prediction model to obtain fused collision parameters; when it is determined that the fused collision parameters meet preset conditions, a control instruction set is generated, and the control instruction set is used to control the detonation of the airbag. The airbag control method in this embodiment obtains driving information including road information, obstacle information, and collision acceleration, so that the finally obtained fused collision parameters take into account the influence of road surface and static roadblocks at the same time, thereby making the final airbag detonation control more accurate, improving the airbag control accuracy, and thus solving the technical problem of airbag misfire in related technologies, avoiding the problem that airbag misfire affects driver operation, endangers passenger safety, and reduces vehicle economy, preventing airbag misfire from injuring drivers and passengers, ensuring personal safety, reducing maintenance costs, and reducing user economic losses, thereby making the vehicle safer, more economical, and more practical.
[0044] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application are as follows:
[0045] 1) In the embodiments of the present application, the road information at least includes the road type, and the road type at least includes smooth roads and bumpy roads, that is, the influence of the road type is fully considered in the process of calculating and obtaining the fused collision parameters. For different road conditions such as smooth roads and bumpy roads, the calculation process of the fused collision parameters can be different, so that the airbag detonation control conforms to the driving habits and driving characteristics of the vehicle on different roads. For example, when the vehicle is driving on a bumpy and rough road, such as a Belgian road or an off-road road, the risk of airbag misfire increases. At this time, the road type, obstacle information, and collision acceleration are simultaneously included in the airbag control judgment process, which can avoid the problem of airbag misfire caused by unstable vehicle driving on bumpy roads;
[0046] 2) In the embodiments of the present application, obstacle types include special static obstacles, vulnerable traffic participants and motor vehicles. Special static obstacles include at least sand piles, electric poles, trash cans and roadside trees. Vulnerable traffic participants include at least pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. That is, when performing airbag control, the impact of obstacle types is fully considered. Different obstacle types have different degrees of impact on passenger safety. For different obstacle types, the calculation method of fused collision parameters can be different to make the airbag control more in line with actual driving conditions. For example, when the obstacle is a static roadblock such as a sand pile, electric pole, trash can and roadside tree, the airbag can be controlled not to explode. When the obstacle is a motor vehicle, the airbag is controlled to explode.
[0047] 3) In the embodiments of the present application, the airbag detonation control is performed based on the road information, obstacle information, and collision acceleration at the same time. This can avoid the problem of accidental airbag explosion caused by the driver forcefully closing the door or engine hood when the vehicle is stationary in the prior art. That is, by comprehensively considering a variety of driving information, the problem of a single control process caused by a single consideration factor is avoided, and the control result is more accurate.
[0048] Optionally, in step S22, the driving information is processed using a collision prediction model to obtain fused collision parameters, including the following steps:
[0049] Step S221, using the first collision model in the collision prediction model to process the obstacle information to obtain a first collision parameter;
[0050] Step S222, using the second collision model in the collision prediction model to process the road information and the collision acceleration to obtain a second collision parameter;
[0051] Step S223: Process the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter using the fused collision model in the collision prediction model to obtain a fused collision parameter.
[0052] Through steps S221-S223, the first collision parameter is obtained by processing the obstacle information, which can be used to judge the influence of the current road on the airbag detonation control, and the second collision parameter is obtained by processing the road information and the collision acceleration, which can be used to judge the influence of the road information and the collision acceleration on the airbag detonation control. Based on the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter, the obtained fused collision parameter can comprehensively consider the influence of the obstacle information, the road information and the collision acceleration on the airbag detonation control, so that the final control result is more accurate. Steps S221-S223 make the calculation process of the fused collision parameter clearer and the information processing process clearer.
[0053] Optionally, in step S23, when it is determined that the fusion collision parameter meets the preset condition, a control instruction set is generated, including the following steps:
[0054] Step S231, when it is determined that the fused collision parameter is the target detonation value, a control instruction set is generated.
[0055] Through step S231, when the fused collision parameter is determined to be the target detonation value, the airbag is controlled to be detonated. The airbag control is convenient and fast. According to actual needs, the target detonation value can be multiple, or one, or any value within a predetermined value range. For example, a certain value range is set as a preset condition. When the fused collision parameter is any value within the value range, the fused collision parameter is determined to be the target detonation value, and the airbag is controlled to be detonated.
[0056] Optionally, in step S223, the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter are processed by using the fused collision model in the collision prediction model to obtain the fused collision parameter, including the following steps:
[0057] Step S2231: When it is determined that both the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter are target parameter values, the fused collision parameter is output as a target detonation value.
[0058] Through step S2231, when it is determined that the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter are both target parameter values, the fused collision parameter is output as the target detonation value, which can make the determination process of the fused collision parameter simpler. According to actual needs, the target parameter value can be the same parameter value, that is, when the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter are both a certain parameter value, the fused collision parameter is output as the target detonation value; the target parameter value can also include a first target parameter value and a second target parameter value, the first target parameter value corresponds to the first collision parameter, the second target parameter value corresponds to the second collision parameter, the first target parameter value and the second target parameter value are set differently, when the first collision parameter is the first target parameter value and the second collision parameter is the second target parameter value, the fused collision parameter is output as the target detonation value.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first collision parameter, the second collision parameter and the fused collision parameter all include two types: 0 and 1. When the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter are both 1, the fused collision parameter is output as 1 to control the airbag to be deployed. When any one of the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter is 0, the fused collision parameter is output as 0 and the airbag is not deployed. According to actual needs, it can also be set as follows: when any one of the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter is 1, the fused collision parameter is output as 1 to control the airbag to be deployed.
[0060] It should be understood that in addition to the above-mentioned embodiment of using two numerical values of 0 and 1 for parameter setting, when setting specifically, the first collision parameter, the second collision parameter, and the fused collision parameter can also have more types of numerical values. For example, five or ten numerical results can be set for each parameter, and one or several numerical values from the multiple numerical results can be selected as the target parameter value.
[0061] Optionally, in step S222, the road information and the collision acceleration are processed by using the second collision model in the collision prediction model to obtain the second collision parameter, including the following steps:
[0062] Step S2221, based on the road type, obtaining the acceleration threshold of the target vehicle, the acceleration threshold is set to match the road type;
[0063] Step S2222: when it is determined that the collision acceleration is greater than or equal to the acceleration threshold, output the second collision parameter as the target parameter value.
[0064] Through steps S2221-S2222, the acceleration threshold is determined according to the road type. For example, the acceleration threshold for a bumpy road is set greater than the acceleration threshold for a smooth road, so that the second collision parameter result is more consistent with the actual driving conditions and the airbag control is more accurate.
[0065] Optionally, in step S221, the obstacle information is processed using a first collision model in the collision prediction model to obtain a first collision parameter, including the following steps:
[0066] Step S2211, using the collision risk prediction model in the first collision model to process the obstacle information to obtain a collision risk value;
[0067] Step S2212, judging whether the target vehicle has a collision risk based on the collision risk value;
[0068] Step S2213: When it is determined that the target vehicle has a collision risk and the obstacle type is a motor vehicle, the first collision parameter is output as the target parameter value.
[0069] Through steps S2211 to S2213, the obstacle information is processed using the collision risk prediction model to obtain a collision risk value; based on the collision risk value, it is determined whether the target vehicle has a collision risk; when it is determined that the target vehicle has a collision risk and the obstacle type is a motor vehicle, the first collision parameter is output as the target parameter value. By combining the collision risk prediction and the specific obstacle type to output the first collision parameter, different airbag detonation controls can be implemented for different obstacles. In this embodiment, when the obstacle type is a motor vehicle, the first collision parameter is output as the target parameter value, which can ensure that the vehicle detonates the airbag in time when facing a highly dangerous obstacle such as a motor vehicle.
[0070] Optionally, in step S2212, judging whether the target vehicle has a collision risk based on the collision risk value includes the following steps:
[0071] Step S22121, when it is determined that the collision risk value is less than the risk threshold, it is determined that the target vehicle has no collision risk;
[0072] Step S22122: When it is determined that the collision risk value is greater than or equal to the risk threshold, it is determined that the target vehicle has a collision risk.
[0073] By comparing the collision risk value with the risk threshold through steps S22121-S22122, it is determined whether the target vehicle has a collision risk, which can make the judgment process simpler. The risk threshold can be a pre-set fixed value or a value calculated in time when the vehicle is driving.
[0074] Optionally, after step S23, when it is determined that the fusion collision parameter meets the preset condition, the method further includes the following steps:
[0075] Step S24, when it is determined that the fused collision parameter meets the preset conditions, the collision data of the target vehicle is obtained, the collision data at least includes obstacle data and self-vehicle driving data, the obstacle data at least includes obstacle type, obstacle speed, obstacle acceleration and obstacle relative distance, and the self-vehicle driving data at least includes speed, acceleration and steering wheel angle of the target vehicle;
[0076] Step S25, storing the collision data in a database of the collision prediction model;
[0077] Step S26: updating the collision prediction model based on the data in the database.
[0078] Through steps S24 to S26, when it is determined that the airbag is to be deployed, the collision data generated and collected during this control process is stored in the database of the collision prediction model, and the collision prediction model is updated, so that the data of the collision prediction model can be more diverse. Updating the model can make subsequent airbag control more accurate and meet the user's needs in various usage scenarios.
[0079] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a preferred embodiment of an airbag control method is also provided, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0080] Step 1: Acquire the driving road and obstacle information through a multi-source sensor sensing method, and output a first collision parameter based on a collision risk prediction model sensed by the multi-source sensor;
[0081] Among them, multi-source sensors can be various sensors used in autonomous driving, including cameras, lidar, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, GPS, and IMU, etc.; driving roads can be divided into smooth roads and bumpy roads according to control requirements; obstacles are objects that affect the driving of the vehicle, and are divided into special stationary obstacles, motor vehicles, pedestrians, and non-motor vehicles according to model requirements. Specifically, obstacle information includes type, driving speed, acceleration, and relative distance, etc. The above information is obtained through multi-source sensors.
[0082] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the collision risk prediction algorithm based on multi-source sensor perception is as follows: ① The obstacle type, relative distance, relative speed and relative acceleration information are taken as input; ② The collision risk prediction model based on multi-source sensors is used to output the collision risk value; ③ If the collision risk value is less than the risk threshold, it means that there is no collision risk between the obstacle and the vehicle; if the collision risk value is greater than or equal to the risk threshold, it means that there is a collision risk between the obstacle and the vehicle; ④ The obstacle type detected by the target is used as a verification condition. If the type is a special static obstacle or a vulnerable traffic participant, the first collision parameter is set to 0; if the type is other such as a motor vehicle, the first collision parameter is set to 1.
[0083] Through step 1, the obstacle information is input into the pre-trained collision risk prediction model based on multi-source sensor perception to obtain the first collision parameter. Since the model is trained with a limited data set, a collision data online update module is subsequently added to transmit the EDR collision data online to the cloud platform, expand the training data set, optimize the collision risk prediction model, and improve the accuracy and robustness of the prediction model, thereby improving the accuracy of the first collision parameter.
[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the working principle of the collision risk prediction model based on multi-source sensor perception is as follows: Figure 8As shown, the collision risk prediction model based on multi-source sensor perception specifically includes two parts: offline training of the collision risk prediction model based on multi-source sensor perception and using the trained model to predict the collision risk of online recognized data.
[0085] Among them, the offline training design steps specifically include: first designing the collision data set, then establishing a collision risk prediction model based on multi-source sensor perception through machine learning, and then conducting end-to-end model training.
[0086] The online prediction design steps include: first, obtaining obstacle, vehicle and road scene data in real time, then inputting it into the trained collision risk prediction model to output the collision risk value, then comparing it with the threshold to determine whether there is a collision risk, and finally uploading the data with collision risk to the cloud in real time, expanding the collision data set, and iteratively optimizing and improving the risk prediction model based on actual data to enhance the model's prediction capability.
[0087] Specifically, the collision dataset design process includes analyzing dataset requirements, dataset composition, data enhancement, dataset division and maintenance, etc., to avoid the decrease in model training accuracy due to non-standard datasets, significantly reduce model prediction capabilities, and increase training costs; at the same time, data enhancement can solve the problems of model overfitting and poor generalization ability, and improve convergence speed. The dataset composition mainly includes obstacle data, such as type, speed, acceleration and relative distance; vehicle driving data includes speed, acceleration and steering wheel angle, etc. Road type data is divided into smooth and bumpy types.
[0088] Construct a collision risk prediction model based on machine learning methods, including but not limited to deep neural networks, statistical machine learning, etc. During the model training process, the training speed can be accelerated through pre-training.
[0089] Step 2: using an external acceleration sensor to obtain a collision acceleration signal value, and outputting a second collision parameter based on a collision risk assessment algorithm based on road surface recognition and the external acceleration signal;
[0090] Among them, the external acceleration sensor can be a front impact acceleration sensor, a side impact acceleration sensor and an onboard acceleration sensor installed at different positions of the vehicle, which are used to output the acceleration values of the X-axis and the Y-axis; road surface recognition refers to using a target detection algorithm to identify whether the road is a smooth road surface or a bumpy road surface, and calibrating different acceleration thresholds according to different road surface types. The acceleration threshold for a bumpy road surface is higher than the acceleration threshold for a smooth road surface.
[0091] like Figure 6As shown in FIG, the collision risk assessment algorithm based on road surface recognition and external acceleration sensors is as follows: ① The X-axis and Y-axis acceleration values collected by the external acceleration sensors at various positions of the vehicle and the road type of the target detection are respectively used as input; ② If the road type is a bumpy road, calibrate the acceleration threshold suitable for the bumpy road; if the road type is a smooth road, calibrate the acceleration threshold suitable for the smooth road; wherein, the acceleration threshold suitable for the bumpy road is higher than the acceleration threshold suitable for the smooth road; ③ Determine whether the X-axis and Y-axis acceleration values output by the main sensor in the external acceleration sensor meet the calibrated main acceleration threshold; ④ Determine whether the X-axis and Y-axis acceleration values output by the auxiliary sensor meet the calibrated auxiliary acceleration threshold; ⑤ If both meet at the same time, set the second collision parameter to 1; otherwise, set the second collision parameter to 0.
[0092] Specifically, taking a bumpy road as an example, the collision risk assessment algorithm based on road surface recognition and external acceleration signals takes the detected road surface type, the X-axis and Y-axis acceleration values output by the main sensor, and the Y-axis and Y-axis acceleration values output by the auxiliary sensor as inputs; determines whether the X-axis and Y-axis acceleration values output by the main sensor in the external acceleration sensor meet the calibrated bumpy road acceleration threshold, and then determines whether the X-axis and Y-axis acceleration values output by the auxiliary sensor meet the calibrated bumpy road acceleration threshold. If both meet, the second collision parameter is output as 1, which means that the airbag ignition condition is met. The same applies to the algorithm for outputting the second collision parameter for a smooth road surface.
[0093] Step 3, based on the mutual verification of rationality between the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter, determining the fusion collision parameter;
[0094] Among them, the fused collision parameter is the final control quantity that triggers the airbag ignition. The fused collision parameter can be obtained by mutual verification of the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter. If the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter are both 1, it proves that the vehicle has collided and the degree of collision has reached the airbag ignition condition, and the airbag is detonated; if at least one of the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter is 0, it indicates that no collision has occurred or the collision degree has not reached the airbag ignition condition, and the airbag remains closed.
[0095] Specifically, Figure 7As shown in the figure, the collision risk fusion algorithm based on multi-source sensor perception and external acceleration signal is as follows: ① If the first collision parameter is 1 and the second collision parameter is also 1, the fused collision parameter is determined to be 1; ② If at least one of the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter is 0, the fused collision parameter is determined to be 0. The advantage of this fusion algorithm is that it adds a safety mechanism (using multi-source sensors to predict collision risks), uses two methods to judge the airbag ignition conditions, and fuses to determine whether the airbag is detonated, which can improve the airbag control accuracy, reduce the false explosion rate, protect the personal safety of drivers and passengers, and reduce the maintenance cost of the vehicle.
[0096] Step 4: The collision parameters are integrated as airbag ignition condition parameters to control the safe explosion of the airbag.
[0097] Specifically, the fused collision parameter is used as the input of the airbag ignition. If the fused collision parameter is 1, the ignition circuit is driven and the airbag is ignited; if the fused collision parameter is 0, the airbag is not ignited.
[0098] The airbag control method in this embodiment obtains the information of the driving road and obstacles through multi-source sensor perception, and outputs the first collision parameter based on the collision risk prediction model perceived by the multi-source sensor; obtains the collision acceleration signal value through the external acceleration sensor, and outputs the second collision parameter based on the collision risk assessment algorithm of the road surface recognition and the external acceleration signal; outputs the fused collision parameter based on the mutual verification of the rationality of the first collision parameter and the second collision parameter; at the same time, the EDR collision data is transmitted back to the cloud platform to train the collision risk prediction model to improve the robustness of the first collision parameter under limited perception; finally, the fused collision parameter controls the safe detonation of the airbag. The fusion algorithm model can solve the problem of the airbag being easily triggered to explode by mistake when the traditional single external acceleration sensor judges the second collision parameter. Specifically, through multi-source sensor perception and judgment of obstacle types, the vehicle can avoid the risk of misfiring airbags due to the second collision parameter being met when colliding with special static obstacles such as sand piles, telephone poles and roadside trees, as well as vulnerable road participants such as pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. It can also avoid the risk of misfiring airbags due to the large self-vibration of the vehicle when opening and closing doors, engine hood and trunk lid, which may lead to the second collision parameter being met. Further, through road recognition and classification and calibration of acceleration thresholds, it can avoid the risk of misfiring airbags due to the second collision parameter being easily met when driving on bumpy roads such as Belgium.
