[0048] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0050] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: the vehicle-mounted terminal obtains environmental perception information; determines water accumulation perception information and environmental perception information based on the environmental perception information; generates obstacle impact parameters based on the water accumulation perception information and environmental perception information; plans a driving trajectory based on the environmental perception information and obstacle impact parameters; and completes vehicle control according to the driving trajectory.

[0052] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the following description is made by taking identification of the vehicle-mounted terminal as the execution subject.

[0053] Thanks to existing technologies such as deep learning and machine learning, vehicles can continuously learn and optimize their driving behaviors to better adapt to various complex environments. Obstacle avoidance is crucial for smart driving vehicles. It refers to the ability of the vehicle to automatically identify and avoid various obstacles during driving. This ability is of great significance for ensuring driving safety, improving the smart driving experience, and reducing the risk of accidents. However, the current smart driving-related obstacle avoidance technology is more targeted at protruding objects on the ground with strong regularity, such as cones, water barriers, and guardrails. When water accumulates on the road, people generally choose to wade directly, which reduces the life of the vehicle.

[0054] The present application provides a solution that enables the perception of water accumulation information in an image. By perceiving the water accumulation and planning the driving trajectory based on this information, vehicle failure caused by direct wading of the vehicle is avoided, thereby improving the safety of vehicle control.

[0055] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a vehicle-mounted terminal, etc. The following takes the vehicle-mounted terminal as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0056] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method on a flooded road, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a vehicle control method on a flooded road surface of the present application.

[0057] In this embodiment, the vehicle control method on a flooded road comprises the following steps:

[0058] Step S10: Acquire environmental perception information.

[0059] It should be noted that this embodiment is applied to the automatic driving or assisted driving scenario under the condition of wading water. Since the current intelligent driving related obstacle avoidance technology is more for the ground protruding objects with strong regularity such as cone barrels, water barriers, guardrails, etc., the recognition and processing capabilities for irregular and inconspicuous protruding obstacles such as road water accumulation are still insufficient. Therefore, this scheme proposes a method, device and related equipment for calculating and generating trajectory planning for avoiding waterlogged roads based on the vehicle's front-view camera and radar recognition and detection of key edge points of waterlogged roads. The image collected by the camera is processed by an image recognition algorithm to extract the characteristic information of the road waterlogging area, such as the area of ​​waterlogging, boundary shape and preliminary position, etc. The data obtained by the radar sensor is preprocessed, feature extracted and parameter calculated by the radar signal processing algorithm to obtain information such as the position of the waterlogged road ahead and the shape of key points. Combined with the recognition results of the camera and radar, the road waterlogging area is accurately identified and located through a fusion algorithm. The two complement each other to improve the accuracy and reliability of recognition. When the system confirms that there is water on the road ahead, it generates a corresponding deceleration and obstacle avoidance trajectory based on information such as the water area and key point locations. Of course, the obstacle avoidance trajectory will also take into account environmental conditions, such as lane line type and whether there are other protruding obstacles. The schematic diagram of intelligent driving deceleration and avoidance of water on the road is shown in Figure 3.

[0060] It should be noted that environmental perception information refers to the images of the scene collected by the on-board image acquisition device or other sensors, such as: lane images in the front direction, road images, images of other vehicles, pedestrian images, lidar information, millimeter-wave radar information, and obstacle images, etc.

[0061] Step S20: Determine water accumulation perception information and environmental perception information according to the environmental perception information.

[0062] It is understandable that when the camera captures an image of water on the road, it will perform image analysis to identify the waterlogged area. At the same time, combined with radar detection technology, this technology is based on the vehicle's millimeter-wave radar sending electromagnetic waves to the road surface, and then receiving and analyzing the reflected signals. Due to its special physical properties, the waterlogged road surface will produce strong reflections on the radar electromagnetic waves. By receiving and analyzing these reflected waves, the radar system can determine whether there is water on the road surface and estimate the relevant parameters of the waterlogging. Finally, the fusion technology of cameras and radars can be used to achieve all-round and multi-angle accurate perception of road waterlogging, and further generate deceleration and obstacle avoidance paths based on road waterlogging perception information and environmental perception information (lane line type, lane edge, protruding obstacles, etc.).

[0063] Furthermore, real-time road recognition can identify road conditions, including road surface status and environmental characteristics, in real time through the vehicle's front-view camera machine vision and edge analysis technology. Furthermore, when the camera captures an image of water on the road, the system will perform image analysis to identify the location and scope of the waterlogged area.

[0064] Among them, waterlogging-related information can also be obtained through the vehicle-equipped millimeter-wave radar, which transmits electromagnetic waves to the road surface and receives the signals reflected from the road surface. The waterlogged road surface has a smooth surface and a high moisture content, which results in strong reflection of radar electromagnetic waves. By analyzing the reflected signal, the radar system can determine whether there is water on the road surface and estimate the depth and range of the water.

[0065] It should be noted that through the fusion of camera and radar data, all-round and multi-angle road water perception information is provided. In addition to water accumulation information, environmental conditions such as lane line type, lane edge, and protruding obstacles can also be considered. Finally, based on the perceived road water and environmental conditions, the system generates a deceleration and obstacle avoidance path to help the driver or the autonomous driving system safely avoid the waterlogged area and ensure driving safety. It combines the visual recognition of the camera and the physical detection of the radar, using their respective advantages to improve the accurate perception of road water. Through real-time data analysis and path planning, it can effectively help drivers avoid the dangers of flooded sections and improve driving safety and comfort.

[0066] Step S30: Generate obstacle impact parameters according to the water accumulation perception information and the environment perception information.

[0067] It is understandable that obstacle influencing parameters may include: influencing factors, obstacle weight values, obstacle position / volume information and other parameters, where influencing factors, for example: comprehensive consideration of waterlogged areas, lane characteristics and possible obstacles, all of which will affect the vehicle's driving trajectory, and the system will evaluate each influencing factor. The obstacle weight is to assign appropriate weights to each influencing factor according to different situations and urgency, so that the system can respond correctly and generate reasonable path planning. Based on the evaluated influencing parameters, the vehicle's speed, direction or choice of different driving routes can be adjusted to ensure safe avoidance of waterlogged areas and other obstacles, while minimizing driving interruptions or discomfort.

[0068] Step S40: planning a driving trajectory based on the environmental perception information and obstacle impact parameters.

[0069] It is understandable that this embodiment reasonably calculates and generates a deceleration obstacle avoidance trajectory based on environmental perception, and is embodied in the form of algorithms such as penalty functions and obstacle avoidance function functions. Combining the impact of the vehicle speed and the weight of the penalty function in the objective function on obstacle avoidance, the following form of obstacle function function is selected:

[0070]

[0071] In the formula, S obs is the weight coefficient, v i =v x 2 +v y 2 ,(x i ,y i ) is the position coordinate of the obstacle point in the vehicle body coordinate system, (x0, y0) is the coordinate of the center of mass of the vehicle, and ε is a small positive number to prevent the denominator from being zero.

[0072] It should be noted that driving trajectory planning mainly relies on the model for calculation. The control goal in the trajectory planning layer is to minimize the deviation from the global reference path and achieve obstacle avoidance. Obstacle avoidance is achieved in the form of a penalty function. The specific form of the model predictive controller of the trajectory replanning layer is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] Us min ≤U t ≤U max In the formula, J obs,i is the obstacle avoidance function at sampling time i.

[0075] It is necessary to process the local reference path planned by the trajectory replanning algorithm to achieve smooth docking between the planning layer and the control layer. Curve fitting is the main way to process discrete points. Here we choose a 5th-order polynomial as the fitting curve, which is as follows:

[0076] Y=a0t 5 +a1t 4 +a2t 3 +a3t 2 +a4t+a5

[0077]

[0078] In the formula, a p =[a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5], b p =[b0, b1, b2, b3, b4, b5] are the parameters to be determined.

[0079] Specifically, for trajectory planning in a dynamic environment, the system can generate scattered points based on the current position of the vehicle and the target position. These scattered points may be determined based on real-time environmental perception to ensure that the path can avoid dynamic obstacles or adapt to real-time changing environmental conditions. The penalty function is used to avoid obstacles to obtain a set of scattered points of a feasible path, and then the final driving trajectory is obtained through curve fitting.

[0080] In some embodiments, environment modeling is performed based on the environment perception information and obstacle impact parameters to obtain an environment element network; and a driving trajectory is planned based on a preset path planning strategy and the environment element network.

[0081] It should be noted that the goal of environmental modeling is to construct an environmental element network based on environmental perception information and obstacle impact parameters. The environmental network is a real-time scenario model that includes information about various obstacles, water accumulation, road information, and environmental information. The penalty function determines which obstacles and roads should be avoided, and the preset path planning strategy determines how the vehicle chooses its route in the traversable area.

[0082] Step S50: completing vehicle control according to the driving trajectory.

[0083] It should be noted that once the global path and local path are generated by the path planning algorithm, the vehicle needs to follow these paths. Specifically, trajectory tracking is performed first. The trajectory tracking process is as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the vehicle needs to compare its current position and direction with the planned path to determine which part of the path it is in. Based on the path information and environmental perception data, the vehicle accelerates, brakes, steers, and other operations through the control system to navigate the vehicle safely along the path.

[0084] This embodiment obtains environmental perception information; determines water accumulation perception information and environmental perception information based on the environmental perception information; generates obstacle impact parameters based on the water accumulation perception information and environmental perception information; plans a driving trajectory based on the environmental perception information and obstacle impact parameters; and completes vehicle control based on the driving trajectory. Through the above-mentioned method, the water accumulation information in the image is perceived, and the driving trajectory is planned based on the perception of water accumulation, which avoids vehicle failure caused by direct wading of the vehicle and improves the safety of vehicle control.

[0085] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 4 , step S30, the vehicle control method on a flooded road further includes:

[0086] Step S31: determining a water accumulation contour according to the water accumulation perception information.

[0087] It should be noted that, according to the specific determination process, for example: the millimeter-wave radar can analyze the reflected signal of the accumulated water and identify the location and possible depth of the accumulated water by analyzing the signal reflected by the road surface. Based on the image information or radar recognition of the water surface features, the boundary and shape of the accumulated water area are determined according to the intensity and pattern of the radar reflected signal or the image recognition algorithm. Then, the data detected by different sensors are fused, such as fusing the data of the camera and radar, and the advantages of both are comprehensively considered to improve the detection precision and accuracy of the accumulated water area. Finally, the contour is drawn, and the contour map of the accumulated water area is generated according to the information obtained from the analysis, marking the boundary and possible diffusion range of the accumulated water.

[0088] In some embodiments, driving information of the current vehicle is obtained; water accumulation depth distribution information is determined based on the water accumulation perception information; a water accumulation depth threshold is determined based on the driving information; and a water accumulation contour is determined based on the water accumulation depth distribution information and the water accumulation depth threshold.

[0089] It is understandable that the specific information on the distribution of water depth can be: after using sensors such as millimeter wave radar to detect water on the road and obtain real-time data on the depth of water, the collected water depth data is analyzed and processed, and data processing algorithms such as filters and data smoothing can be used to eliminate noise and abnormal data, so as to obtain more accurate water depth distribution information. A water depth threshold is set based on the characteristics and design limitations of the vehicle, as well as driving safety considerations. This threshold can be a fixed value, or it can be dynamically adjusted according to vehicle speed, road conditions, etc. Only water areas greater than this water depth threshold are determined as water contours.

[0090] In some embodiments, the current vehicle speed and suspension system operating parameters are determined based on the driving information; and the water depth threshold is determined based on the current vehicle speed and suspension system operating parameters.

[0091] It should be noted that when wading, a higher speed may increase the speed and pressure of water entering the bottom of the vehicle, which will increase the risk of damage to mechanical and electronic components. A lower speed is more conducive to reducing the influx of water and slowing down the impact during wading. And a higher speed may make the vehicle waves higher and increase the possibility of water entering the bottom of the vehicle. Therefore, the higher the speed, the shallower the water depth threshold should be set.

[0092] Similarly, the suspension directly determines the state of the vehicle chassis, and the state of the suspension system is crucial to the wading performance. In particular, a higher ground clearance can improve the ability to pass through water, so the higher the suspension system lifts the chassis, the deeper the water depth threshold can be set.

[0093] In some embodiments, the water accumulation contour and water quality information are determined based on the water accumulation perception information; and obstacle impact parameters are generated based on the water accumulation contour, water quality information and the position of the protruding obstacle.

[0094] Understandably, water quality may affect the system's ability to accurately assess the depth and bottom of a waterway, and water with low transparency may obscure obstacles or uneven bottoms, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, information on ponding water quality can be incorporated to adjust the obstacle impact parameters.

[0095] In some embodiments, the water accumulation detection credibility is determined based on the water quality information; the water accumulation contour is adjusted based on the water accumulation detection credibility to obtain an adjusted water accumulation contour; and obstacle impact parameters are generated based on the adjusted water accumulation contour.

[0096] It should be noted that the credibility of water accumulation detection is determined based on the water quality information. When the water is turbid and has low transmittance, the depth may not be accurately determined, and the situation of the underwater ground is also unclear. Therefore, there is a certain risk. The credibility of water accumulation detection can be used to set a weight for the water accumulation part to comprehensively consider and adjust the water accumulation contour to ensure driving safety, and then generate obstacle impact parameters based on the adjusted water accumulation contour.

[0097] Step S32: Determine the position of the protruding obstacle according to the environmental perception information.

[0098] It should be noted that object detection and recognition can use computer vision technology to process and analyze camera and radar data to identify possible obstacles. Based on image analysis or radar reflection data, obstacles in the surrounding environment are separated from the background. And the distance, direction and speed information provided by the sensor are used to determine the exact position of the obstacle relative to the vehicle. After obtaining the target and position, obstacles can also be classified according to sensor data and preset models, such as pedestrians on the sidewalk, vehicles on the road or other objects as prominent obstacles.

[0099] Step S33: Generate obstacle impact parameters according to the water accumulation contour and the position of the protruding obstacle.

[0100] It should be noted that the types of obstacles and the spatial positions of obstacles can be determined based on the water accumulation contour and the positions of the protruding obstacles, thereby constructing obstacle impact parameters.

[0101] This embodiment determines the water accumulation contour according to the water accumulation perception information; determines the position of the protruding obstacle according to the environmental perception information; and generates obstacle impact parameters according to the water accumulation contour and the protruding obstacle position. Through the above content, a detailed analysis of the water accumulation situation is achieved, and the integration of water accumulation and obstacles improves the accuracy and decision-making efficiency of vehicle path planning.

[0102] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further proposes a storage medium on which a vehicle control program for a flooded road surface is stored. When the vehicle control program for a flooded road surface is executed by a processor, the steps of the vehicle control method for a flooded road surface as described above are implemented.

[0103] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the vehicle control device for flooded road surface of the present invention.
