[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0032] The existing vehicle driver protection scheme is to issue a warning when an object is detected approaching laterally, reminding the driver to avoid it or to install airbags / curtains on the side of the vehicle. When an unavoidable collision occurs, the airbags will automatically pop out to protect the driver or passengers. However, warnings cannot provide protection. The protection of passive airbags is limited. They can only be popped out after a collision occurs. Incorrect collision posture may cause personal injury. If the airbag is popped out too late, it will also affect the protection effect.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a vehicle side collision protection method provided by the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to actively protect the safety of drivers and passengers when a vehicle has a side collision, reduce collision injuries to drivers and passengers, etc. This method can be performed by the vehicle side collision protection device provided by the present invention. The device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into an electronic device. The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated into an electronic device as an example. Figure 1 , the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0034] S101. Determine first driving information and environmental information of a current vehicle.

[0035] Among them, the current vehicle can be understood as a vehicle that needs side collision protection, the first driving information can be understood as the operating parameters of the current vehicle, including but not limited to the vehicle's driving speed, driving direction, driving destination, current position, driving route, window status, seat status and other information, and the environmental information can be understood as the driving environment data of the current vehicle, including but not limited to the lane information in the driving environment of the current vehicle, driving information of other vehicles, building information, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0036] The first driving information and environmental information of the current vehicle are acquired and updated in real time, and the information update frequency is related to the collision protection logic. Specifically, the current vehicle is deployed with an information collector for collecting the environmental information of the current vehicle in real time, and the processor on the vehicle will also update the driving information of the vehicle in real time to further determine the side collision protection plan, for example, whether active protection is needed, the timing and location of active protection, etc.

[0037] The advantage of this setting is that it can ensure the real-time nature of the current vehicle's first driving information and environmental information, and thus formulate a more targeted side collision protection plan.

[0038] S102: Analyze the environmental information and the first driving information to determine whether there is a vehicle that conflicts with the current vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle.

[0039] Among them, the driving conflict vehicle can be understood as a vehicle that may have a side collision with the current vehicle in the operating environment, for example, a vehicle that is at the same position as the current vehicle at the same time, a vehicle that cuts in when the current vehicle stops, etc.

[0040] Specifically, parsing the environmental information and the first driving information can be understood as analyzing the driving information of each vehicle except the current vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle to determine whether there is one or more vehicles that are in the same position as the current vehicle at a certain moment, that is, there is an overlap in spatial position. The vehicle that is in the same position as the current vehicle at the same time is the driving conflict vehicle of the current vehicle.

[0041] For example, assuming that after parsing the driving information of the current vehicle and the driving information of each vehicle in the driving environment of the current vehicle, it is known that vehicle A will be at position A with the current vehicle at time A, then vehicle A is determined to be the driving conflict vehicle of the current vehicle.

[0042] The advantage of this arrangement is that the conflicting vehicle can be quickly located based on the driving information of each vehicle, so as to analyze the collision information between the current vehicle and the conflicting vehicle, and formulate and implement a targeted side collision protection plan for the current vehicle.

[0043] S103: If there is a vehicle with which the current vehicle conflicts in the operating environment of the current vehicle, determine a target collision protection scheme for the current vehicle based on the first driving information and the second driving information of the vehicle with which the current vehicle conflicts.

[0044] Among them, the second driving information can be understood as information such as the driving speed, driving direction, and driving intention of the conflicting vehicle, and the target collision protection scheme can be understood as the obstacle avoidance control method of the current vehicle, which is used to instruct the current vehicle to respond to the collision with the conflicting vehicle to reduce the collision damage to the driver and passengers on the vehicle.

[0045] Specifically, the second driving information is determined based on the position information of multiple driving conflicting vehicles collected by the information collector. For example, the driving speed, driving direction and driving intention of the driving conflicting vehicles are determined by solving the multiple images containing the driving conflicting vehicles collected by the image collector and the collection time of each image. The driving speed, driving direction and driving intention of the driving conflicting vehicles are determined by solving the positions of the driving conflicting vehicles detected by the position detector at different times. In one embodiment, if the distance difference between the driving conflicting vehicles is 10 meters before and after two seconds, the driving speed of the driving conflicting vehicles is determined to be 5 meters / second. If the driving conflicting vehicles are on the same horizontal line in multiple detections, the driving intention of the driving conflicting vehicles is determined to be straight.

[0046] When the vehicle's speed, direction, destination, current position and route, as well as the speed, direction and intention of the conflicting vehicle, can be used to determine whether the current vehicle and the conflicting vehicle will collide, the location of the collision, the time of the collision, the speed of the two vehicles when the collision occurs, and other information, the collision protection position and collision protection strategy of the current vehicle can be determined. The collision protection position and collision protection strategy of the current vehicle are collectively referred to as the target collision protection scheme of the current vehicle.

[0047] For example, if the right side of the vehicle is about to have a high-speed collision with a conflicting vehicle, it is determined that the current vehicle needs to activate the active protection strategy, and the current vehicle's collision posture is adjusted in advance to reduce the damage to the driver and passengers caused by the collision. The posture adjustment is mainly to reduce the collision force on the right side of the driver and passengers. Similarly, if a high-speed collision occurs on the left side, the posture adjustment is mainly to reduce the collision force on the left side of the driver and passengers. If the collision between the current vehicle and the conflicting vehicle is a low-speed collision, it is believed that the driver and passengers will not suffer serious injuries, and there is no need to adjust the vehicle's driving posture. A collision threshold will be set and the passive protection mode will be entered. When the collision force between the two vehicles is greater than the collision threshold, the airbag will be opened to prevent the driver and passengers from directly contacting the vehicle when rebounding and causing injuries.

[0048] The advantage of this setting is that a targeted collision protection plan can be formulated for the driver and passengers, thereby reducing the workload of the vehicle processor and collision protection resources while protecting the driver and passengers.

[0049] Further, if there is no vehicle that conflicts with the current vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle, the process returns to step S101 to continue determining the first driving information and environmental information of the current vehicle.

[0050] S104: Control the current vehicle to operate based on the target collision protection solution to protect the driver and passengers in the current vehicle.

[0051] Specifically, controlling the current vehicle to operate based on the target collision protection scheme may be understood as controlling the equipment on the current vehicle to operate according to the target collision protection scheme determined in S103.

[0052] For example, assuming that the target collision protection plan is to lift the left suspension system, raise the window glass, tighten the seat belt, issue an audible and visual prompt of the collision alarm, and immediately deploy the left airbag when the vehicle is hit, the vehicle processor will lift the left suspension system, raise the window glass, tighten the seat belt, and issue an audible and visual prompt of the collision alarm to remind the user that a left-side collision will occur. The left airbag will also be deployed immediately at the moment of the collision to reduce the collision damage to the left-side driver and passenger.

[0053] It is worth noting that the method of the present invention can also be used for frontal collision protection.

[0054] The technical solution of this embodiment, when it is determined that there is a conflicting vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle, determines the protection plan of the current vehicle according to the driving information of both vehicles, controls the current vehicle to operate based on the plan, adjusts the operating state of the current vehicle, and enables the current vehicle to actively respond to the collision behavior of the conflicting vehicle, reducing the damage to the driver and passengers during the collision. It solves the problem that when an object is detected approaching laterally, a warning message is issued to remind the driver to pay attention to avoid the conflicting vehicle. Once the driver reacts slowly or the dangerous vehicle approaches at a high speed, a collision will still occur, causing collision damage to the driver and passengers.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of another vehicle side collision protection method provided by the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to actively protect the safety of drivers and passengers when a vehicle has a side collision, reduce collision injuries to drivers and passengers, etc. This method can be performed by the vehicle side collision protection device provided by the present invention. The device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into an electronic device. The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated into an electronic device as an example. Figure 2 , the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0056] S201. Determine environmental information based on at least four information detectors currently deployed on the vehicle.

[0057] Among them, the information detector is used to obtain the environmental parameters of the current vehicle in real time, and then determine the environmental information of the current vehicle's environment. At least four information detectors are evenly deployed on the vehicle shell of the current vehicle. Generally, the information detector needs to be able to collect information in every direction around the vehicle. Therefore, each side of the vehicle avoids the need to deploy an information collector. The present invention can evenly deploy the information detectors at the junction of the two sides of the current vehicle. The advantage of this setting is that each information collector can collect data in two directions, thereby improving the richness of the data.

[0058] In one embodiment, millimeter-wave radars and side vision sensors arranged at the four corners of the current vehicle can be used to obtain status information of a target object moving laterally to the side of the current vehicle, such as basic information such as the position, speed, orientation angle, type, size, acceleration, etc. of the target object.

[0059] In one embodiment, when at least four information detectors are a first information detector, a second information detector, a third information detector and a fourth information detector, the first information detector is deployed at the intersection of the first side and the second side of the current vehicle, the second information detector is deployed at the intersection of the second side and the third side of the current vehicle, the third information detector is deployed at the intersection of the third side and the fourth side of the current vehicle, and the fourth information detector is deployed at the intersection of the fourth side and the first side of the current vehicle.

[0060] The second side and the fourth side of the current vehicle are equal in length, and the first side and the third side of the current vehicle are equal in length. Specifically, the first side can be understood as the outer surface in the front direction of the vehicle, the second side can be understood as the outer surface on the left side of the vehicle's forward direction, the third side can be understood as the outer surface in the rear direction of the vehicle, and the fourth side can be understood as the outer surface on the right side of the vehicle's forward direction.

[0061] The information detector can be a millimeter wave radar and a side camera. The present invention arranges the millimeter wave radar and the side camera at the four corners of the vehicle to detect the target object that hits the side of the vehicle body quickly from the side. The millimeter wave radar has the characteristics of all-weather operation and can accurately detect the position, speed, direction angle and other information of the target object. The on-board camera can accurately detect the type, size, speed and other information of the target object, thereby providing data support for the subsequent determination of the driving conflict vehicle and the determination of the collision information.

[0062] In another embodiment, when at least four information detectors are the first information detector, the second information detector, the third information detector, the fourth information detector, the fifth information detector and the sixth information detector, the first information detector is deployed at the intersection of the first side and the second side of the current vehicle, the second information detector is deployed at the intersection of the second side and the third side of the current vehicle, the third information detector is deployed at the intersection of the third side and the fourth side of the current vehicle, the fourth information detector is deployed at the intersection of the fourth side and the first side of the current vehicle, the fifth information detector is deployed on the second side of the current vehicle, and is equidistant from the first information detector and the second information detector, and the sixth information detector is deployed on the fourth side of the current vehicle, and is equidistant from the third information detector and the fourth information detector.

[0063] Among them, the lengths of the second side and the fourth side of the current vehicle are equal, the lengths of the first side and the third side of the current vehicle are equal, and the length of the second side of the current vehicle is greater than the length of the first side of the current vehicle.

[0064] Specifically, the present invention can also deploy more information detectors on the side of the vehicle body to enrich the data samples of the side environmental information of the current vehicle and improve the detection accuracy of side-impact vehicles.

[0065] S202: Determine first driving information based on a data controller of the current vehicle.

[0066] Among them, the data controller of the current vehicle can be understood as the vehicle's own information monitor, such as a body controller, a driving information detector, etc. The first driving information includes the current vehicle's first driving direction, first driving speed, gear, steering angle, first driving intention, current position, destination and status information of safety equipment.

[0067] Specifically, the first driving direction can be understood as the vehicle's forward direction, the first driving speed can be understood as the vehicle's forward / reverse speed, the gear position can be understood as an auxiliary parameter for determining the driving speed, the first driving intention can be understood as the current vehicle's driving route in a certain period of time in the future, and the status information of the safety device can be understood as the current status of safety-related equipment, such as the current status of doors and windows, the current status of seat belts, etc.

[0068] S203: Determine a target driving trajectory of the current vehicle based on the first driving information.

[0069] The target driving trajectory can be understood as processing the first driving information to obtain the comprehensive driving route of the current vehicle and information such as the time, driving speed and direction corresponding to each position of the vehicle on the route.

[0070] S204: Analyze the environmental information to obtain the driving information of the candidate vehicles in the operating environment of the current vehicle.

[0071] Environmental information includes not only vehicle information, but also building information. A candidate vehicle can be understood as a vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle or a vehicle that threatens the driving mode of the current vehicle (may conflict), and the candidate vehicle includes at least one sub-candidate vehicle. The driving information of the candidate vehicle can be understood as the driving speed, driving direction, and driving intention of each sub-candidate vehicle.

[0072] In one embodiment, the vehicle's fusion screening module can determine the motion properties and target type of the side target. Specifically, the fusion screening module can fully integrate the advantages of vision and millimeter-wave radar, adopt a target-level post-fusion processing algorithm, and use the perception result information of vision and millimeter waves to associate, match, track and filter the visual target and the millimeter-wave target to obtain a more accurate detection result, and give the fused target motion properties, including but not limited to target position, speed, size, motion direction angle, target type, motion state and other information. It is worth noting that the target screening module can screen all targets output by the fusion module, filter out noise targets, and output the most dangerous targets, that is, conflicting vehicles.

[0073] S205: Determine whether there is a sub-candidate vehicle among the candidate vehicles whose driving trajectory intersects with the target driving trajectory.

[0074] Among them, the sub-candidate vehicles intersecting with the target driving trajectory can be understood as the driving conflicting vehicles of the current vehicle. It is worth noting that the driving trajectory intersection in this embodiment refers to the phenomenon that the trajectories overlap at the same time and at the same position, and passing the same position at different times does not count as driving trajectory intersection.

[0075] Specifically, if there is a sub-candidate vehicle whose driving trajectory intersects with the target driving trajectory among the candidate vehicles, S207 is executed; if there is no sub-candidate vehicle whose driving trajectory intersects with the target driving trajectory among the candidate vehicles, S206 is executed.

[0076] In one embodiment, a side collision intelligent detection algorithm module can be used to determine whether a collision is inevitable based on the motion state of the vehicle (current vehicle) and the target lateral motion information. Specifically, the side collision intelligent detection algorithm module can calculate and evaluate the degree of collision risk based on the target object motion information, the vehicle motion state, the driver's intention and other information output by the fusion screening module. For example, based on the vehicle's driving trajectory, the target motion trajectory and the current motion state, it can determine whether the target object (each sub-candidate vehicle) will collide with the side position of the vehicle within a certain observation time in the future. It is worth noting that the intelligent side collision detection algorithm module can further calculate the probability of collision, the time of side collision between the target object and the vehicle, the specific vehicle collision point and other information, so as to locate the conflicting vehicles.

[0077] S206: Determine that there is no driving conflicting vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle.

[0078] Specifically, the absence of a driving conflict vehicle in the current operating environment of the vehicle can be understood as the absence of a dangerous target in the current operating environment, which is used to indicate that the vehicle and the driver and passengers on the vehicle are in a safe state.

[0079] S207: Determine whether there is a driving conflicting vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle.

[0080] Specifically, the existence of a driving conflict vehicle in the current vehicle's operating environment can be understood as the existence of a dangerous target in the current operating environment, which is used to indicate that the vehicle and the driver and passengers on the vehicle are in an unsafe state. It is necessary to determine the relevant information of the dangerous target and determine the protection plan for the current vehicle in combination with the current vehicle's driving information.

[0081] Optionally, after determining that there is a driving conflict vehicle in the operating environment of the current vehicle, this embodiment further includes: determining that a sub-candidate vehicle whose driving trajectory intersects with the target driving trajectory is a driving conflict vehicle, and determining a second driving direction, a second driving speed, and a second driving intention of the driving conflict vehicle as second driving information. The advantage of such a setting is that the vehicle that the current vehicle needs to deal with a collision can be quickly located and its driving information can be obtained, so as to accurately and quickly formulate a collision response strategy.

[0082] S208: Determine a target collision protection scheme for the current vehicle based on the first driving information and the second driving information of the conflicting vehicle.

[0083] Among them, the target collision protection scheme is used to instruct the current vehicle to deal with the collision of the conflicting vehicles.

[0084] In one embodiment, S208 may specifically include: determining the collision force between the current vehicle and the conflicting vehicle based on the first driving direction, the first driving speed, the first driving intention, the second driving direction, the second driving speed, and the second driving intention; determining whether the collision force meets the active protection condition; if the collision force meets the active protection condition, determining the target collision protection scheme as the active protection scheme.

[0085] Among them, the collision force is used to indicate the severity of the collision between the two vehicles, and can assess the impact injuries suffered by the driver and passengers. The active protection condition can be understood as the basis for assessing the severity of the collision. When the collision force meets the active protection condition, it is considered that the severity of the collision is high and the active protection solution needs to be activated, otherwise the driver and passengers will receive more serious injuries. The active protection condition can be that the collision force exceeds the safety threshold.

[0086] Specifically, the side collision intelligent detection algorithm module can calculate the impact force of the collision according to the type, size, expected speed at the time of collision, collision position and collision angle of the target object, for example, the lateral and longitudinal acceleration values. When the impact force exceeds a certain safety threshold, a collision setting signal is output to indicate that the current vehicle needs to activate the active protection plan. Furthermore, the prediction method of the statistical probability model and the theoretical calculation method can also be used to predict the acceleration information of the collision.

[0087] If the side collision intelligent detection algorithm module determines that the impact force exceeds the minimum safety threshold, it is judged that there is a potential risk of occupant injury in the collision, and the active protection plan needs to be activated and the side collision active protection workflow will be entered; conversely, if the collision force is predicted to be mild, the side collision active protection workflow will not be entered, and the normal passive safety protection workflow of the airbag will be entered, setting a higher collision threshold. The airbag corresponding to the collision point is only allowed to be detonated after the collision occurs and the side collision acceleration is higher than the collision threshold.

[0088] It is worth noting that no matter what kind of protection method is used, the side airbag of the present application does not have to wait until the acceleration value reaches the maximum value after the vehicle collides before detonating. It is allowed to detonate in advance when a smaller collision deceleration threshold is met, thereby reserving more reaction time for protecting the occupant's head and body, and avoiding the occupant's head being accidentally injured by the airbag curtain that pops out from the side due to the lateral movement of the vehicle after a side collision due to insufficient reaction time reserved after detonation.

[0089] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a processor provided by the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the processor includes a body domain control unit, a side vision camera, an angular millimeter-wave radar, an acceleration sensor, an airbag controller, an active suspension system, a door and window control unit, an instrument entertainment unit, a seat belt unit and a side airbag ignition device. The various components work together to realize the vehicle side collision protection method of the present invention.

[0090] In one embodiment, after receiving the collision detection signal, the door and window control unit quickly controls the door lifter to raise the window on the corresponding side to prevent the occupants from suffering more direct injuries. After receiving the collision detection signal, the seat belt unit tightens the occupant's seat belt to secure the occupant. After receiving the collision detection signal, the instrument entertainment unit gives the driver collision warning information, including but not limited to visual alarms, sound alarms, vibration alarms, etc. The active suspension system is used to lift the vehicle body on the impacted side to a certain height in a short period of time after receiving the collision detection signal output by the side collision intelligent detection algorithm, and lower the suspension on the other side that is not impacted when necessary, so that the vehicle body posture is tilted and lifted, and the occupant's head and body are tilted sideways in the vehicle, and the head and body position can be away from the impacted window position. This embodiment does not limit the specific components.

[0091] S209: Control the current vehicle to operate based on the target collision protection solution to protect the driver and passengers in the current vehicle.

[0092] Controlling the current vehicle to operate based on the target collision protection scheme may be understood as controlling the equipment on the current vehicle to operate according to the target collision protection scheme determined in S208.

[0093] In a specific example, assuming that the target collision protection scheme is to raise the left suspension system, raise the window glass, tighten the seat belt, issue an audio and visual prompt of the collision alarm, and immediately pop out the left airbag when the vehicle is hit, the vehicle processor will raise the left suspension system, raise the window glass, tighten the seat belt, and issue an audio and visual prompt of the collision alarm to remind the user that a left-side collision will occur, and will also pop out the left airbag immediately at the moment of the collision to reduce the collision damage to the left-side driver and passenger. Assuming that the target collision protection scheme is to open the left airbag when the impact force is greater than A, the vehicle will immediately pop out the left airbag when it is hit by a force greater than A to protect the left-side driver and passenger.

[0094] When the target collision protection scheme is an active protection scheme, S209 may specifically include: determining the target air suspension device based on the collision surface where the current vehicle collides with the conflicting vehicle, and controlling the target air suspension to be lifted to a preset height; determining the target safety device based on the status information of the safety device, and adjusting the target safety device to a closed state; when the current vehicle is subjected to an impact force greater than a first detonation threshold, detonating the airbag on the inside of the collision surface to protect the driver and passengers on the inside of the collision surface.

[0095] If an air suspension system is provided under each driver's seat, the target air suspension device may be understood as the air suspension system that needs to be lifted, and the target safety device may be understood as the doors and windows that are not fully closed at present.

[0096] Specifically, the side collision intelligent detection algorithm module will output a collision preparation signal at an appropriate time (for example, a preset time point before the collision occurs), and inform the active suspension system, airbag controller and other downstream safety components through the communication system of the body domain control unit, so that they can perform corresponding safety work to deal with the collision. The active protection process may specifically include: 1) After receiving the collision signal, the active suspension system executes the collision preparation procedure, raising the chassis suspension on the impacted side or lowering the suspension on the other side, so that the body posture tilts in the opposite direction of the impact side. The height difference of the suspension on both sides of the vehicle makes the vehicle posture unbalanced. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle driving posture provided by the present invention, which is the posture of the vehicle when it is driving normally. Figure 5 3 is a schematic diagram of another vehicle driving posture provided by the present invention, which is the posture of the vehicle when it is actively protected. 3 represents the air suspension system, 2 represents the airbag, 1 represents the driver and passenger, and the arrow represents the tilt direction of the driver and passenger. Figure 5It can be seen that during active protection, the internal occupants will have a certain body tilt to complete the collision avoidance preparation action before the collision. 2) After the airbag controller receives the collision signal, it enters the airbag working process. The perception system has actively confirmed that the collision risk is about to occur, so it directly enters the control process with a low detonation threshold. 3) When the internal control process of the airbag controller determines that the minimum detonation threshold is reached according to the acceleration value obtained by the collision acceleration sensor (the threshold setting can be greater than or equal to 0, but needs to be less than the acceleration detonation threshold of the normal process), the airbag is detonated in advance. For example, the airbag controller issues an ignition command, notifies the airbag detonation component through the communication harness, ignites the explosives inside the airbag, and completes the detonation action. By detonating the airbag in advance, the delay defect that the maximum collision acceleration must be reached before detonation after a passive collision can be avoided, thereby avoiding possible physical harm to the occupants.

[0097] The benefit of active protection is that it adjusts the vehicle's collision posture in advance, leaving sufficient space between the occupants and the vehicle's side windows to prevent injuries to the occupants' heads and body parts after the side air curtains are detonated. At the same time, it reduces damage to the occupants after a collision occurs and the vehicle is dented and deformed.

[0098] The technical solution of this embodiment will periodically obtain the driving information and environmental information of the current vehicle, and continue to obtain the driving information and environmental information of the current vehicle when it is determined that there is no vehicle with which the current vehicle conflicts in the operating environment of the current vehicle, i.e., refresh the information; when it is determined that there is a vehicle with which the current vehicle conflicts in the operating environment of the current vehicle, the protection plan of the current vehicle is determined based on the driving information of both, and the current vehicle is controlled to operate based on the plan, and the operating state of the current vehicle is adjusted so that the current vehicle actively responds to the collision behavior of the conflicting vehicle, thereby reducing the damage to the driver and passengers during the collision. This solves the problem that when an object is detected approaching laterally, a warning message is issued to remind the driver to pay attention to avoid the conflicting vehicle. Once the driver is slow to react or the dangerous vehicle approaches at a high speed, a collision will still occur, causing collision damage to the driver and passengers.
