[0039] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant invention, rather than to limit the invention. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0041] As mentioned in the background technology, in response to the problems in the prior art, the present application proposes a vehicle U-turn control method. The present embodiment can be applicable to situations where the vehicle needs to make a U-turn. The method can be executed by a vehicle U-turn control device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and can be configured in an intelligent driving controller. Figure 1 A flow chart of a vehicle U-turn control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0042] S110: Obtain a vehicle-obstacle distance, where the vehicle-obstacle distance is the distance between the vehicle body and the obstacle.

[0043] The vehicle in this embodiment has a distance sensor installed on its body, and each wheel module is equipped with a drive motor. The operating state of each drive motor can be controlled separately, and the operating state of the corresponding wheel can be controlled by controlling the operating state of the drive motor separately. Specifically, the distance sensor installed on the body can be used to collect the distance between the vehicle obstacle. Optionally, the distance sensor can be a millimeter wave radar. Exemplarily, the distance between the front of the vehicle body and the obstacle can be collected by using the millimeter wave radar installed at the front of the vehicle body (generally at the front position of the vehicle), the distance between the rear of the vehicle body and the obstacle can be collected by using the millimeter wave radar installed at the rear of the vehicle body, the distance between the left side of the vehicle body and the obstacle can be collected by using the millimeter wave radar installed at the left side of the vehicle body (generally at the left fender of the vehicle body), and the distance between the right side of the vehicle body and the obstacle can be collected by using the millimeter wave radar installed at the right side of the vehicle body (generally at the right fender of the vehicle body). In a feasible solution, obtaining the distance between the vehicle obstacle can be when the ADS (Advanced Driving System, high-order intelligent driving system) intelligent driving controller inside the vehicle receives a U-turn request sent by the user, controls the distance sensor to collect the distance between the vehicle obstacle and obtains the distance between the vehicle obstacle collected by the distance sensor.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, obtaining the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle may include: using the vehicle millimeter wave radar to obtain the first distance between the side of the vehicle and the obstacle and the second distance between the front of the vehicle and the obstacle, wherein, if the vehicle turns to the left, the first distance is the distance between the left side of the vehicle and the obstacle, and if the vehicle turns to the right, the first distance is the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the obstacle. In this embodiment, the use of the millimeter wave radar to obtain the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle makes the identification result of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle more accurate, and can ensure the safety of the vehicle turning. In addition, only the distance between the side of the vehicle and the front of the vehicle and the obstacle can be used to determine whether the vehicle can turn around, thereby improving the efficiency of automatic turning. Exemplarily, when the vehicle turns to the left, the millimeter wave radar on the left side of the vehicle can be used to obtain the first distance between the left side of the vehicle and the obstacle, and the millimeter wave radar on the front of the vehicle can be used to obtain the second distance between the front of the vehicle and the obstacle. When the vehicle turns to the right, the millimeter wave radar on the right side of the vehicle can be used to obtain the first distance between the right side of the vehicle and the obstacle, and the millimeter wave radar on the front of the vehicle can be used to obtain the second distance between the front of the vehicle and the obstacle. It is understandable that the vehicle's U-turn direction may be set by the user or may be automatically determined by the vehicle based on road conditions, and is not specifically limited here.

[0045] S120. Determine a vehicle U-turn mode based on the vehicle-obstacle distance and vehicle U-turn related parameters, wherein the vehicle U-turn mode includes one of a front-wheel steering U-turn mode, a three-wheel steering U-turn mode, a four-wheel steering U-turn mode, an on-the-spot steering U-turn mode and a non-U-turn mode, and the front-wheel steering U-turn mode, the three-wheel steering U-turn mode, the four-wheel steering U-turn mode and the on-the-spot steering U-turn mode are all U-turn-able modes.

[0046] Among them, the vehicle U-turn related parameters are parameters that affect the vehicle U-turn. Exemplarily, the vehicle U-turn related parameters may include the distance between the front axle and the rear axle of the vehicle, the width of the vehicle body, the minimum turning radius of the vehicle, and the maximum turning angle of the wheels. The front wheel steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, and the two front wheels are driven to turn in the direction of the turn. Exemplarily, when the vehicle turns left, the front wheel steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, and the two front wheels are driven to turn to the left. The three-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the two front wheels are driven to turn in the direction of the turn at the same speed, the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction goes straight at the same speed in the opposite direction of the front wheels, and the right rear wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction is in a locked state. Exemplarily, when the vehicle turns left, the three-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the two front wheels are driven to turn to the left at the same speed, the left rear wheel goes straight at the same speed in the opposite direction of the front wheel, and the right rear wheel is in a locked state. The four-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, the two front wheels are driven to turn in the direction of the turn, and the two rear wheels are driven to turn in the opposite direction. Exemplarily, when the vehicle turns left, the four-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, the two front wheels are driven to the left, and the two rear wheels are driven to the right. The in-place steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, the front wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction and the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction are driven to the turning direction, the front wheel on the same side of the turning direction and the rear wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction are driven to the opposite direction, the rotation direction of the front wheel on the same side of the turning direction and the rotation direction of the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction are consistent, both are traveling backward, the rotation direction of the front wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction and the rotation direction of the rear wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction are consistent, both are traveling forward. Exemplarily, when the vehicle turns left, the in-place steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, the right front wheel and the left rear wheel are driven to the left, the left front wheel and the right rear wheel are driven to the right, the rotation direction of the left front wheel is consistent with the rotation direction of the left rear wheel, both are traveling backward, and the rotation direction of the right front wheel is consistent with the rotation direction of the right rear wheel, both are traveling forward. The unable to U-turn mode determines that the vehicle cannot make a U-turn in the current space, and no U-turn action is performed in this mode.

[0047] Preferably, in this embodiment, determining the vehicle U-turn mode based on the vehicle-obstruction distance and the vehicle U-turn related parameters may include: determining the U-turn thresholds corresponding to different U-turn modes based on the vehicle U-turn related parameters under different U-turn modes; comparing the vehicle-obstruction distance with the U-turn thresholds corresponding to different U-turn modes, and determining the vehicle U-turn mode according to the comparison result. The above-mentioned determination of the vehicle U-turn mode by the pre-set U-turn threshold can improve the accuracy of the vehicle U-turn judgment process and further ensure the safety and feasibility of the vehicle U-turn.

[0048] The U-turn threshold in this embodiment is the distance value between the vehicle and the obstacle corresponding to the vehicle being able to complete the U-turn action in the current U-turn mode. Specifically, if the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is detected to be greater than the U-turn threshold in the current U-turn mode, the vehicle can complete the U-turn action in the current U-turn mode. If the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than or equal to the U-turn threshold in the current U-turn mode, the vehicle cannot complete the U-turn action in the current U-turn mode. It can be understood that since different U-turn modes require different U-turn spaces, different U-turn modes correspond to different U-turn thresholds.

[0049] S130: Execute a corresponding U-turn action based on the vehicle U-turn mode.

[0050] Optionally, executing a corresponding U-turn action based on the vehicle U-turn mode may include: feeding back the vehicle U-turn mode to the user; receiving confirmation of the user's feedback, executing the instruction of the vehicle U-turn mode and executing the corresponding U-turn action. The above-mentioned U-turn after user confirmation can further increase the safety of the vehicle U-turn. Executing a corresponding U-turn action based on the vehicle U-turn mode may also include: the vehicle automatically executes the corresponding U-turn action based on the vehicle U-turn mode without the need for interaction with the user, which can increase the user experience. Executing a corresponding U-turn action based on the vehicle U-turn mode may also include: feeding back the vehicle U-turn mode to the user, and after receiving the vehicle U-turn mode selected by the user, the user manually completes the U-turn action.

[0051] Figure 2 A flowchart of a U-turn execution strategy provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the user turns on the vehicle U-turn switch with one button through the vehicle terminal (the vehicle terminal can be, for example, the central control screen), and the intelligent driving controller receives the vehicle U-turn instruction sent by the user, controls the millimeter wave radar to obtain the distance between the vehicle obstacles and determines the vehicle U-turn mode according to the distance between the vehicle obstacles. If the vehicle U-turn mode is one of the U-turn modes, it is fed back to the user and determines whether the user manually clicks the confirmation U-turn button through the vehicle terminal. If it is determined that the user manually clicks the confirmation U-turn button, the vehicle starts to perform the action corresponding to the determined vehicle U-turn mode. After the vehicle completes the corresponding U-turn action, it straightens the vehicle and puts it in P gear, waiting for the user to take over the vehicle. If it is determined that the user does not manually click the confirmation U-turn button, the vehicle does not perform the action corresponding to the determined vehicle U-turn mode and returns to the initial state of the vehicle. If the vehicle U-turn mode is a non-U-turn mode, the user is prompted that the U-turn action cannot be completed, and the user drives the vehicle to a suitable position and then re-executes the above operation.

[0052] The vehicle U-turn control method provided in this embodiment includes: obtaining the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, wherein the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is the distance between the vehicle body and the obstacle; determining the vehicle U-turn mode based on the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle and the vehicle U-turn related parameters, wherein the vehicle U-turn mode includes one of the front wheel steering U-turn mode, the three wheel steering U-turn mode, the four wheel steering U-turn mode, the in-situ steering U-turn mode and the non-U-turn mode, and the front wheel steering U-turn mode, the three wheel steering U-turn mode, the four wheel steering U-turn mode and the in-situ steering U-turn mode are all U-turnable modes; and performing the corresponding U-turn action based on the vehicle U-turn mode. By obtaining the distance between the vehicle body and the obstacle to determine whether the vehicle can U-turn and in what way to U-turn, the feasibility of the vehicle U-turn is improved, the vehicle can make an adaptive U-turn based on the vehicle U-turn mode, the distance recognition during the U-turn process is more accurate, the U-turn action is also safer, the safety of the vehicle U-turn and the passenger experience are improved, and at the same time, by setting multiple optional U-turn strategies, the damage to the vehicle tires caused by the single use of the in-situ U-turn strategy is avoided, and the service life of the vehicle tires is protected.

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiments, further determining the vehicle U-turn mode according to the comparison result includes:

[0054] If the comparison result shows that the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle meets the first condition, it is determined that the vehicle U-turn mode is one of the front-wheel steering U-turn mode, the three-wheel steering U-turn mode, the four-wheel steering U-turn mode and the in-situ steering U-turn mode, and the front-wheel steering U-turn mode has a higher priority than the three-wheel steering U-turn mode, the three-wheel steering U-turn mode has a higher priority than the four-wheel steering U-turn mode, and the four-wheel steering U-turn mode has a higher priority than the in-situ steering U-turn mode, wherein the first condition is D>r1+s1 and W>r1-L, D is the first distance, W is the second distance, r1+s1 and r1-L are U-turn thresholds in the front-wheel steering U-turn mode, L is the distance between the front axle and the rear axle of the vehicle, r1 is the minimum turning radius of the vehicle in the front-wheel steering U-turn mode, r1=L / sinφ1, φ1 is the maximum turning angle of the front wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle's turning direction, s1 is the distance from the steering center of the vehicle in the front-wheel steering U-turn mode to the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction, s1=L / sinφ2, φ2 is the maximum turning angle of the front wheel on the same side of the vehicle's turning direction;

[0055] Among them, the front-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, and the two front wheels are driven to steer in the turning direction; the three-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the two front wheels are driven to steer in the turning direction at the same speed, the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction goes straight at the same speed in the opposite direction of the front wheels, and the rear wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction is in a locked state; the four-wheel steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, the two front wheels are driven to steer in the turning direction, and the two rear wheels are driven to steer in the opposite direction; the in-place steering U-turn mode is that the four wheels work at the same speed, the front wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction and the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction are driven to steer in the turning direction, the front wheel on the same side of the turning direction and the rear wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction are driven to steer in opposite directions, the rotation direction of the front wheel on the same side of the turning direction and the rotation direction of the rear wheel on the same side of the turning direction are consistent, both are traveling backward, and the rotation direction of the front wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction and the rear wheel on the opposite side of the turning direction are consistent, both are traveling forward. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a vehicle in a front-wheel steering U-turn mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a vehicle in a three-wheel steering U-turn mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a vehicle in a four-wheel steering U-turn mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a vehicle in a turn-on-place mode provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3-6 As shown, the vehicles are all in the state of turning left.

[0056] The above technical solution determines the corresponding U-turn mode under this condition by comparing the distance between the vehicle obstacles and the U-turn threshold in the front wheel steering U-turn mode, thereby improving the accuracy of the vehicle U-turn judgment process and further ensuring the safety and feasibility of the vehicle U-turn.

[0057] It can be understood that, for a vehicle, the front-wheel steering U-turn mode requires the largest space. If the current space where the vehicle is located can realize the front-wheel steering U-turn, it can also realize one of the three-wheel steering U-turn mode, the four-wheel steering U-turn mode and the in-situ steering U-turn mode. Therefore, when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle meets the first condition, the vehicle U-turn mode can be one of the front-wheel steering U-turn mode, the three-wheel steering U-turn mode, the four-wheel steering U-turn mode and the in-situ steering U-turn mode. Different U-turn modes have different degrees of wear and tear on the tires, and the control processes required by different U-turn modes are also different in complexity. Therefore, the priorities of different U-turn modes can be set according to the degree of wear and tear on the tires of different U-turn modes and the control complexity of the required controller. Specifically, the front-wheel steering U-turn mode in this embodiment has the lowest degree of wear and tear on the tires and the lowest degree of control complexity of the required controller. Therefore, it has the highest priority, followed by the three-wheel steering U-turn mode, and then the four-wheel steering U-turn mode.
