[0025] Example Environment

[0026] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In the environment 100, an assisting person 110 can interact with a remote device 120 directly or with an attached device via the remote device 120. The remote device 120 can present a user interface 140 to the assisting person 110 for the assisting person 110 to view vehicle information or perform route planning and other operations.

[0027] The remote device 120 may include, for example, a cloud device or an edge computing device. In some embodiments, such a remote device 120 may be configured to provide the vehicle 101 with supplementary perception information about the traffic environment, and / or provide escape guidance for the trapped vehicle 101.

[0028] Environment 100 may include vehicle 101. In some embodiments, vehicle 101 may be any type of vehicle that can carry people and / or objects and move through a power system such as an engine, including but not limited to cars, trucks, buses, electric vehicles, RVs, etc. Vehicle 101 may be an autonomous driving vehicle (also called an autonomous vehicle) that integrates functions such as environmental perception, planning and decision-making, and multi-level assisted driving.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 101 is equipped with an electronic device 150, which can be connected to the remote device 120. For example, the electronic device 150 can communicate with the remote device 120 via an appropriate wireless communication method. The electronic device 150 can be any device with computing capabilities, and can generate a driving route for escape or execute corresponding instructions according to the path planning information sent by the remote device 120.

[0030] It should be understood that the structure and functionality of environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] Remote assistance to escape distress

[0032] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an example vehicle escape process 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 may be, for example, Figure 1 The electronic device 150 is implemented. Figure 1 To describe Figure 2 process 200.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in box 210, the electronic device 150 determines a trapped scenario of the vehicle 101, where the trapped scenario 101 indicates that the vehicle cannot determine whether the lateral distance to a target obstacle in the traffic environment allows the vehicle to pass.

[0034] The following will refer to Figure 3A The process of block 210 is described below. Figure 3A An example traffic environment 300A is shown in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0035] like Figure 3A As shown, traffic environment 300A may include vehicle 302 and one or more obstacles perceived by vehicle 302 , such as obstacle 304 - 1 , obstacle 304 - 2 , and obstacle 304 - 3 .

[0036] Further, vehicle 302 may not be able to determine whether it can proceed through the area defined by obstacle 304 - 1 and obstacle 304 - 2 due to obstacle 304 - 1 and obstacle 304 - 2 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the vehicle 302 may include a route planning module, which may be unable to plan a corresponding forward route because it cannot confirm whether the lateral distance to the obstacle 304-1 and / or the lateral distance to the obstacle 304-2 allows the vehicle 302 to pass. As a result, the vehicle 302 will be in a trapped state.

[0038] In some embodiments, vehicle 302 may also be stuck due to the lateral distance to a single obstacle, for example, the left side of vehicle 302 may be a solid lane that cannot be merged, and vehicle 302 may not be able to determine whether the distance to obstacle 304-2 is sufficient to allow vehicle 302 to pass safely.

[0039] Continue to refer Figure 2 At block 220 , the electronic device 150 sends an assistance request to the remote device 120 , where the assistance request at least indicates an identification of the target obstacle.

[0040] For example, when the route planning module of the vehicle 302 cannot determine whether the lateral distance to the obstacles (eg, obstacle 304 - 1 and obstacle 304 - 2 ) allows the vehicle 302 to pass safely, the route planning module may send an assistance request to the remote device 150 .

[0041] In some embodiments, such an assistance request may indicate the identification of a target obstacle corresponding to the trapped scene of the vehicle 302. For example, the electronic device 150 may send the identification of the obstacle 304-1 and the obstacle 304-2 to the remote device 120 to facilitate the remote device 150 to determine whether such obstacles affect the passage of the vehicle 302.

[0042] In some embodiments, such an assistance request may, for example, indicate an inquiry about whether the lateral distance to the target obstacle corresponding to the identifier allows the vehicle to pass. For example, such an inquiry request may be associated with the current trapped scene of the vehicle 302. That is, the electronic device 120 may request information from the remote device 150 about whether such an obstacle affects the passage of the vehicle 302.

[0043] Further, upon receiving the assistance request, the remote device 120 may present the following information to the assistance personnel 110: Figure 3B Interface 300B shown. Figure 3B As shown, the interface 300B may display a plurality of elements associated with the vehicle 302, for example, a map element, a real-time image captured by the vehicle 302, and a first element 312 corresponding to the vehicle 302. Additionally, the interface 300B may also display a second element corresponding to the target obstacle, for example, an element 314-1 corresponding to the obstacle 304-1 and an element 314-2 corresponding to the obstacle 304-2.

[0044] Furthermore, the remote device 120 may also highlight a second element corresponding to the target obstacle in the interface 300B based on the identifier of the target obstacle indicated in the assistance request.

[0045] Continue with Figure 3B As an example, the remote device 120 may display elements corresponding to multiple obstacles in the traffic environment 300A, such as an element 314 - 1 corresponding to the obstacle 304 - 1 , an element 314 - 2 corresponding to the obstacle 304 - 2 , and an element 314 - 3 corresponding to the obstacle 303 - 2 .

[0046] Further, the remote device 120 may highlight the elements 314-1 and 314-2 corresponding to the obstacles 304-1 and 304-2 in the interface 300B. It should be understood that the remote device 120 may highlight the elements 314-1 and 314-2 in appropriate ways such as thickening the border, highlighting the border, changing the color, etc. Thus, the remote device 120 may intuitively remind the assisting personnel 110 of the obstacles associated with the trapped scene of the vehicle 302.

[0047] Further, the interface 300B may display real-time image data 316 associated with the vehicle 302. Such image data 316 may be captured, for example, by an image acquisition device deployed at an appropriate location of the vehicle 302 to determine whether the lateral distance to obstacles (e.g., obstacle 304-1 and obstacle 304-2) allows the vehicle 302 to pass.

[0048] In some embodiments, the remote device 120 may also present an interactive component 316 in the interface 300B, which may correspond to a query indicated in the assistance request received from the vehicle 302 , such as “can you crawl through?”.

[0049] Furthermore, the interaction component 316 may also include a plurality of controls 318 - 1 and 318 - 2 , which respectively correspond to the lateral distance to the obstacle allowing the vehicle 302 to pass safely and not allowing the vehicle 302 to pass safely.

[0050] Continue to refer Figure 2 At block 230 , the electronic device 150 receives an assistance message from the remote device 120 , the assistance message indicating that the lateral distance to the target obstacle allows the vehicle to pass.

[0051] For example, the remote device 120 may receive the selection of the control 318-1 by the assisting person 110, and accordingly generate an assist message to the electronic device 150. Such an assist message may, for example, indicate that the distance to the target obstacle allows the vehicle to pass safely.

[0052] In some embodiments, the assisting personnel 110 may determine that the distance to the target obstacle allows the vehicle to pass safely based on the image data 316. Alternatively, the remote device 120 may also utilize appropriate image analysis technology to determine the distance to obstacles (e.g., obstacle 3014-1 and obstacle 304-2) based on the analysis of the image data 316, and automatically determine whether to allow the vehicle 312 to pass safely.

[0053] Continue to refer Figure 2 In box 240, the electronic device 150 controls the generation of an escape route for the vehicle based on the assistance message.

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 150 may, for example, send a message to a route planning module of the vehicle to instruct the route planning module to update the distance constraint associated with the target obstacle.

[0055] Specifically, the route planning module can, for example, reduce the distance constraint to the target obstacle (e.g., obstacle 304-1 and obstacle 304-2) according to the received message. For example, such a distance constraint can indicate the minimum distance between the vehicle 302 and the obstacle during driving.

[0056] Furthermore, the electronic device 150 may, for example, shield the trapped state of the vehicle so that the route planning module can generate an escape route for the vehicle based on the updated distance constraint.

[0057] Exemplarily, the electronic device 150 may further include an assistance module for detecting whether the vehicle is in a trapped state. If the assistance module determines that the vehicle is in a trapped state, the route planning module may no longer perform corresponding route planning.

[0058] On the contrary, after receiving the assistance message from the remote device, the assistance module can, for example, shield the detection of the trapped state and allow the route planning module to plan an escape route based on the assistance message.

[0059] In some embodiments, the route planning module may return a signal indicating whether the escape route is successfully generated. If the route planning module successfully generates the escape route, the electronic device 150 may further control the vehicle 101 to creep through (eg, pass at a speed lower than a predetermined speed) according to the escape route.

[0060] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can obtain a clear indication from the remote device on whether the obstacle affects the passage of the vehicle by providing the identification of the obstacle related to the current trapped scene to the remote device by the vehicle. As a result, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the efficiency of escape assistance. Compared with the traditional point-to-point assistance escape, this can significantly reduce the assistance cost of the assisting personnel.

[0061] In some embodiments, if the route planning module cannot generate an escape route based on the assistance message, the electronic device 150 may also obtain at least one waypoint from the remote device 120 to determine an escape route for the vehicle based on the at least one waypoint.

[0062] For example, the remote device 120 may determine that the vehicle 101 has failed to escape based on the vehicle 101 not moving within a predetermined time period. Alternatively, when the route planning module determines that an escape route cannot be generated, the electronic device 150 may also send a message about the escape failure to the remote device 120.

[0063] Accordingly, the remote device 120 may automatically enter the waypoint assistance mode, or may enter the waypoint assistance mode based on the interaction of the assisting personnel. In the waypoint assistance mode, the remote device 120 may, for example, receive at least one waypoint input by the assisting personnel 110 to guide the vehicle 101 to generate an escape route based on the at least one waypoint. The present disclosure is not intended to limit the waypoint input method and the process of the vehicle executing an escape route based on the waypoint.

[0064] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can further provide the capability of waypoint escape when lightweight remote assistance cannot effectively help the vehicle escape, thereby improving the reliability of the remote assistance system.
