[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish identical or similar items that have essentially the same function. It should be understood that there is no logical or temporal dependency between "first," "second," and "nth," nor does it limit the quantity or execution order. It should also be understood that although the following description uses the terms "first," "second," etc., to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms.

[0062] These terms are simply used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the various examples, the first element can be referred to as the second element, and similarly, the second element can be referred to as the first element. Both the first and second elements can be elements, and in some cases, they can be separate and distinct elements.

[0063] "At least one" refers to one or more elements. For example, at least one element can be one element, two elements, three elements, or any integer number of elements greater than or equal to one. "Multiple" refers to two or more elements. For example, multiple elements can be two elements, three elements, or any integer number of elements greater than or equal to two.

[0064] In this article, "and / or" indicates that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0065] It should be noted that the information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, data stored, data displayed, etc.) and signals involved in this application are all authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of related data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant regions.

[0066] This application provides a safety control method for automatically shifting a vehicle into Park (P) gear. This method is executed by the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) on the vehicle. In the overall platform architecture of new energy vehicles, the VCU, Motor Control Unit (MCU), and Battery Management System (BMS) are core technologies that significantly impact the vehicle's power performance, economy, reliability, and safety.

[0067] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a VCU structure provided in an embodiment of this application. For example, see... Figure 1 A VCU comprises a casing, hardware circuitry, low-level software, and application-level software. Among these, the hardware circuitry, low-level software, and application-level software are the key components of the VCU.

[0068] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle safety control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The execution entity of this method is the vehicle's VCU. See also... Figure 2 The method includes the following steps:

[0069] 201. When the vehicle is not in parking gear, the VCU obtains the current parking environment of the vehicle and determines the conditions for triggering automatic engagement of parking gear based on the current parking environment.

[0070] For example, the current parking environment of the vehicle can be obtained by analyzing image data transmitted back by the camera on the vehicle body and sensor data transmitted back by various sensors; this application does not limit this. In addition, the parking environment can be divided into frequent start-stop scenarios with traffic congestion, slope parking scenarios, normal parking lot parking scenarios, etc.; this application also does not limit this.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is not in park, the conditions for triggering automatic engagement of the park gear include at least one of the following:

[0072] The brake pedal opening is zero, the accelerator pedal opening is zero, the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle is in a ready state, the vehicle is not in a braking state, and no operation related to driving the vehicle is detected.

[0073] The first point to note is that the conditions for triggering the VCU to automatically engage the parking gear differ depending on the parking environment of the vehicle; that is, the specific content of the aforementioned conditions varies.

[0074] The second point to clarify is that, for new energy vehicles, the "ready" state refers to the "Ready" state, indicating that the vehicle is ready to start. At this point, the engine has been successfully started, and all vehicle systems have completed self-checks, reaching a drivable state. Additionally, the vehicle's braking state refers to the state in which the vehicle controls its speed or stops movement through the braking system. The braking system primarily uses the friction between the brake pads and the wheels to reduce speed and stop movement.

[0075] In other embodiments, no operation related to driving the vehicle was detected, including at least one of the following:

[0076] The intelligent driving function is not activated;

[0077] There was no one in the driver's seat;

[0078] The driver's seatbelt is unbuckled.

[0079] For example, when detecting whether there is no one in the driver's seat, it can be determined by a camera located in the vehicle or a seat pressure sensor, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0080] 202. When the vehicle currently meets the conditions for triggering automatic engagement of the parking gear, the VCU controls the vehicle to engage the parking gear.

[0081] In this situation, if both the brake pedal opening and the accelerator pedal opening are zero, the vehicle is currently stationary and ready to start, the vehicle is not in a braking state, and no operation related to driving the vehicle is detected, then the VCU controls the vehicle to engage the parking gear.

[0082] In summary, when the vehicle is not in parking gear, this embodiment automatically determines the conditions for triggering automatic parking gear engagement based on the vehicle's current parking environment. If the conditions for automatic parking gear engagement are met, the vehicle is automatically engaged. Because this method achieves safe vehicle control, even if the driver forgets to engage parking gear after braking and exits the vehicle, the vehicle will not roll away, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle itself, the driver, passengers, and surrounding objects. Furthermore, this embodiment also determines the specific content of the aforementioned conditions based on the vehicle's current parking environment, enabling flexible and safe vehicle control based on the parking environment and preventing situations such as failing to engage parking gear when it should or frequently engaging parking gear.

[0083] The above Figure 2 The above is only a basic process of an embodiment of this application. The following is a further explanation of the solution provided by the embodiment of this application based on a specific implementation method. Figure 3This is a flowchart of another vehicle safety control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The execution subject of this method is the vehicle's VCU. See also... Figure 3 The method includes the following steps:

[0084] 301. When the vehicle is not in parking gear, the VCU obtains the current parking environment of the vehicle and determines the conditions for triggering automatic engagement of parking gear based on the current parking environment; wherein the above conditions include: the brake pedal opening is zero, the accelerator pedal opening is zero, the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle is in a ready state, the vehicle is not in a braking state, and no operation related to driving the vehicle is detected.

[0085] For example, the current parking environment of the vehicle is a frequent start-stop scenario with traffic congestion, and this application does not limit this.

[0086] Assuming no actions related to driving the vehicle are detected, including: the intelligent driving function is not activated, the driver's seat is empty, and the driver's seatbelt is unfastened, then... Figure 4 As shown, the conditions for automatically engaging the parking gear when the vehicle is not in parking gear include:

[0087] The brake pedal opening is zero, the accelerator pedal opening is zero, the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle is in a ready state, the vehicle is not in a braking state, the intelligent driving function is not activated, there is no one in the driver's seat, and the driver's seat belt is unfastened.

[0088] 302. When the vehicle currently meets the conditions for triggering automatic engagement of the parking gear, the VCU controls the vehicle to engage the parking gear.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, if the brake pedal opening and accelerator pedal opening are both zero, the vehicle is currently stationary and ready to start, the vehicle is not in a braking state, the intelligent driving function is not activated, there is no one in the driver's seat, and the driver's seat belt is unfastened, then the VCU controls the vehicle to engage the parking gear.

[0090] In other embodiments, after the vehicle is put into parking gear, the VCU can also prompt the user in the following ways:

[0091] Method 1: A voice prompt is broadcast through the vehicle's loudspeaker to indicate that the vehicle has been put into parking gear.

[0092] In this method, the VCU can control the vehicle's speakers to issue voice prompts, such as indicating that the vehicle is in Park or parked; this application does not limit this. Furthermore, this method allows the driver to hear the voice prompt even when they are not in the vehicle, provided they are nearby.

[0093] Method 2: Control the vehicle's external lights to provide a light indicator that the vehicle is in park.

[0094] For example, the vehicle's turn signals or brake lights can be controlled to flash briefly, so that the driver can see the change in the vehicle's status from outside the vehicle, thereby reminding the driver that the vehicle has been put into P gear.

[0095] Method 3: Send a push message to the mobile terminal bound to the vehicle. The push message is used to indicate that the vehicle has been put into parking gear.

[0096] In this method, if the vehicle supports interconnection with mobile terminals such as smartphones, the VCU will send a push message to the bound mobile terminal to inform the owner that the vehicle has been automatically put into P gear. In this way, even if the driver is away from the vehicle, he can know in time that the vehicle has been put into P gear.

[0097] In other embodiments, when the vehicle's start-stop frequency is greater than a preset frequency, such as when the vehicle is currently driving in a congested traffic section and needs to start and stop frequently, in order to avoid the VCU frequently performing the operation of automatically shifting into P gear in such scenarios and causing unnecessary disturbance to the user, the method provided in this application embodiment further includes: if the brake pedal opening and accelerator pedal opening are both zero, the vehicle is currently stationary and ready to start, the vehicle is not in a braking state, no operation related to driving the vehicle is detected, and the vehicle is equipped with an automatic parking function, then the automatic parking function is activated.

[0098] In the above situations, if the vehicle is equipped with an auto hold function, during brief stops, you can choose to prioritize using the auto hold function instead of automatically shifting the vehicle into Park (P) gear. This is because the auto hold function can keep the vehicle stationary during short stops without requiring frequent shifting to P gear. With the auto hold function engaged, if you need to restart the vehicle, the driver only needs to lightly press the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will release the brakes and continue driving.

[0099] In other embodiments, the VCU may be prevented from frequently performing the operation of automatically shifting to P gear by the following method: if the brake pedal opening and accelerator pedal opening are both zero, the vehicle has been stationary for a preset period of time and is ready to start, the vehicle is not in a braking state, and no operation related to driving the vehicle is detected, then the vehicle is controlled to shift into the parking gear.

[0100] It should be noted that the preset duration is related to the vehicle's current parking environment. That is, the embodiments of this application will automatically determine the preset duration based on the vehicle's current parking environment.

[0101] For example, taking the scenario of a vehicle temporarily stopping on the roadside to pick up someone as an example, in this case, the preset duration can be a value of 10 seconds or more, and this application does not limit it. Since in such scenarios, not only is the vehicle required to be stationary for a period of time, this can prevent the VCU from automatically shifting into P gear when unnecessary, thus achieving more precise vehicle safety control.

[0102] In summary, when the vehicle is not in parking gear, this embodiment automatically determines the conditions for triggering automatic parking gear engagement based on the vehicle's current parking environment. If the conditions for automatic parking gear engagement are met, the vehicle is automatically engaged. Because this method achieves safe vehicle control, even if the driver forgets to engage parking gear after braking and exits the vehicle, the vehicle will not roll away, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle itself, the driver, passengers, and surrounding objects. Furthermore, this embodiment also determines the specific content of the aforementioned conditions based on the vehicle's current parking environment, enabling flexible and safe vehicle control based on the parking environment and preventing situations such as failing to engage parking gear when it should or frequently engaging parking gear.

[0103] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle safety control device provided in an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 5 The device includes:

[0104] The acquisition module 501 is configured to acquire the current parking environment of the vehicle when the vehicle is not in parking gear.

[0105] The determination module 502 is configured to determine, based on the parking environment, the conditions for triggering automatic engagement of the parking gear; wherein the conditions include at least one of the following: brake pedal opening is zero, accelerator pedal opening is zero, vehicle is stationary, vehicle is in a ready state, vehicle is not in a braking state, and no operation related to driving the vehicle is detected; the ready state is used to indicate that the vehicle is ready to start.

[0106] The control module 503 is configured to control the vehicle to engage the parking gear when the vehicle currently meets the conditions.

[0107] In summary, when the vehicle is not in parking gear, this embodiment automatically determines the conditions for triggering automatic parking gear engagement based on the vehicle's current parking environment. If the conditions for automatic parking gear engagement are met, the vehicle is automatically engaged. Because this method achieves safe vehicle control, even if the driver forgets to engage parking gear after braking and exits the vehicle, the vehicle will not roll away, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle itself, the driver, passengers, and surrounding objects.
