[0027] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for identifying an autonomous driving area is provided, comprising the following steps: S201: Acquire a first road condition parameter, where the first road condition parameter is a road condition parameter collected when a vehicle is in a manual driving state and is traveling along a route to be identified in an area to be identified.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the area to be identified may include a driving area and / or a parking area. The driving area may include a road for motor vehicles, and may also include a road for non-motor vehicles, a pedestrian road, etc. The parking area may include a parking lot, a temporary parking area, etc. The parking lot may include a road parking lot, an underground parking lot, or other parking areas where parking is available.

[0029] The route to be identified includes the vehicle's driving route in the area to be identified, and it has not yet been determined whether the vehicle can be driven automatically. In some embodiments, the driving start point and the driving end point are determined in the area to be identified, and the route to be identified can be the driving route of the vehicle from the driving start point to the driving end point. In other embodiments, if the area to be identified is a parking area, such as an underground parking lot, the route to be identified can be the driving route of the vehicle from the entrance of the underground parking lot to the target parking space.

[0030] When the vehicle is in manual driving mode and is traveling along the route to be identified in the area to be identified, the first road condition parameter may be obtained. The first road condition parameter may include road condition information collected while the vehicle is traveling along the route to be identified. In some embodiments, the first road condition parameter may include a plurality of first road condition sub-parameters, and the first road condition sub-parameter may be a first network state parameter, road width, ambient light intensity, minimum turning radius, and intersection spacing, etc. The first road condition parameter may be used to determine whether the route to be identified meets the automatic driving conditions.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first road condition parameter can be obtained by a data acquisition device disposed on the vehicle. Specifically, the road width, the minimum turning radius, and the intersection spacing can be obtained by a vehicle-mounted radar, and the ambient light intensity can be obtained by a light sensor. This application does not limit the specific method of obtaining the first road condition parameter.

[0032] S203: Determine whether the first road condition parameter satisfies a preset first autonomous driving road condition; if so, determine that the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting a preset first autonomous driving road condition and determining whether the first road condition parameter meets the preset first autonomous driving road condition, it can be determined whether the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route.

[0034] In some embodiments, if the first road condition parameter includes multiple first road condition sub-parameters, a first preset sub-condition can be set for each road condition sub-parameter respectively. If all first road condition sub-parameters satisfy the first preset sub-condition, or a first preset number of first road condition sub-parameters satisfy the first preset sub-condition, the route to be identified is determined to be an autonomous driving route, otherwise the route to be identified is determined to be a non-autonomous driving route. In other embodiments, it is also possible to determine whether the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route through a machine learning model or a deep learning model. The model is obtained through historical data training. After the first road condition parameter is input, the model can be used to determine whether the first road condition parameter satisfies the preset first autonomous driving road condition, and output an output result that the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route or a non-autonomous driving route.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first traffic condition parameter includes a plurality of first traffic condition sub-parameters, and the first preset condition includes a plurality of first preset sub-conditions corresponding to the plurality of first traffic condition sub-parameters; and determining whether the first traffic condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition includes: S301: Determine whether the first road condition sub-parameter satisfies a corresponding first preset sub-condition.

[0036] S303: If all first road condition sub-parameters satisfy the corresponding first preset sub-conditions, it is determined that the first road condition parameters satisfy the preset first automatic driving road condition.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the first road condition parameter may include multiple first road condition sub-parameters, and a corresponding first preset sub-condition is set for each first road condition sub-parameter. It is determined whether each first road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition. If all first road condition sub-parameters satisfy the corresponding first preset sub-condition, it is determined that the first road condition parameter satisfies the preset first automatic driving road condition. If there is at least one first road condition sub-parameter that does not satisfy the corresponding first preset sub-condition, it is determined that the first road condition parameter does not satisfy the preset first automatic driving road condition.

[0038] S205: When it is determined that the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route, a second road condition parameter is obtained, where the second road condition parameter is a road condition parameter collected when the vehicle is in an autonomous driving state and is traveling along the autonomous driving route.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route, it is necessary to test driving along the autonomous driving route in an autonomous driving state to further determine whether the area to be identified is an autonomous driving area.

[0040] When the vehicle is in the automatic driving state and is traveling along the route that can be automatically driven, the second road condition parameter can be obtained. The second road condition parameter may include road condition information collected while the vehicle is traveling along the route that can be automatically driven. In some embodiments, the second road condition parameter may include multiple second road condition sub-parameters, and the second road condition sub-parameters may include the number of automatic driving tests and the number of automatic driving completions in the route that can be automatically driven, the number of oncoming vehicles passing, the number of vehicles passing at the intersection, the second network status parameter, the number of pedestrian recognitions, at least one pedestrian recognition duration, etc. The second road condition parameter can be used to further determine whether the area to be recognized meets the automatic driving conditions.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second road condition parameter can be obtained through a data acquisition device installed on the vehicle. Specifically, the number of pedestrians recognized can be obtained through a vehicle camera, and the second network status parameter can be obtained through a vehicle network test device. This application does not limit the specific method of obtaining the second road condition parameter.

[0042] S207: Determine whether the second road condition parameter satisfies a preset second autonomous driving road condition. If the second autonomous driving road condition is satisfied, determine that the area to be identified is an autonomous driving area.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting a preset second autonomous driving road condition and determining whether the second road condition parameter meets the preset second autonomous driving road condition, it can be further determined whether the area to be identified is an autonomous driving area.

[0044] In some embodiments, if the second road condition parameter includes multiple second road condition sub-parameters, a second preset sub-condition can be set for each second road condition sub-parameter respectively. If all second road condition sub-parameters satisfy the second preset sub-condition, or a second preset number of second road condition sub-parameters satisfy the second preset sub-condition, the area to be identified is determined to be an area where the autonomous driving can be performed, otherwise the area to be identified is determined to be an area where the autonomous driving cannot be performed. In other embodiments, it is also possible to determine whether the area to be identified is an area where the autonomous driving can be performed by a machine learning model or a deep learning model. The model is obtained by training with historical data. After the second road condition parameter is input, the model can be used to determine whether the second road condition parameter satisfies the preset second autonomous driving road condition, and output an output result that the area to be identified is an area where the autonomous driving can be performed or an area where the autonomous driving cannot be performed.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second traffic condition parameter includes a plurality of second traffic condition sub-parameters, and the second preset condition includes a plurality of second preset sub-conditions corresponding to the plurality of second traffic condition sub-parameters; and determining whether the second traffic condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S401: Determine whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies a corresponding second preset sub-condition.

[0046] S403: If all the second road condition sub-parameters satisfy the corresponding second preset sub-conditions, it is determined that the second road condition parameters satisfy the preset second automatic driving road condition.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the second road condition parameter may include multiple second road condition sub-parameters, and a corresponding second preset sub-condition is set for each second road condition sub-parameter. It is determined whether each second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition. If all second road condition sub-parameters satisfy the corresponding second preset sub-condition, it is determined that the second road condition parameter satisfies the preset second automatic driving road condition. If there is at least one second road condition sub-parameter that does not satisfy the corresponding second preset sub-condition, it is determined that the second road condition parameter does not satisfy the preset second automatic driving road condition.

[0048] The method for identifying an area that can be autonomously driven provided in an embodiment of the present application first manually drives in the route to be identified and obtains a first road condition parameter to determine whether the preset first autonomous driving road condition condition is met. If the preset first autonomous driving road condition condition is met, the vehicle automatically drives along the route that can be autonomously driven and obtains a second road condition parameter to further determine whether the second road condition sub-parameter meets the preset second autonomous driving road condition condition. The present application makes multiple judgments on the road condition of the area to be identified by obtaining the first road condition parameter and the second road condition parameter, fully considering the dynamically changing road condition conditions. Compared with traditional technologies, the present application overcomes the limitation of traditional technologies that rely on static maps and improves the flexibility, reliability and accuracy of identifying areas that can be autonomously driven.

[0049] The following describes an implementation method for determining whether a first road condition sub-parameter satisfies a corresponding first preset sub-condition through an embodiment of the present application.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first traffic condition sub-parameter includes a first network status parameter; and determining whether the first traffic condition sub-parameter satisfies a corresponding first preset sub-condition includes: S501: Based on first network status parameters and a first network status threshold of a plurality of first network detection points, respectively determine a network status detection result of each first network detection point, wherein every two adjacent first network detection points are separated by a first preset distance in the route to be identified.

[0051] S503: Determine a first network status qualification rate based on the network status detection results of all first network detection points and the number of first network detection points.

[0052] S505: If the first network status qualification rate is greater than a first qualification rate threshold, it is determined that a corresponding first preset sub-condition is met.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the network status on the route to be identified can be used to determine whether the autonomous driving condition is met. The first road condition sub-parameter includes a first network status parameter, which can be a network signal strength value or a network uplink and downlink data transmission value per second.

[0054] A plurality of first network detection points are set in the route to be identified, and the interval between each two adjacent first network detection points is a first preset distance. The first preset distance may also include a plurality of first preset sub-distances, and each first preset sub-distance may be the same or different. That is, the interval between each two adjacent first network detection points may be the same or different. In some specific embodiments, the first preset distance may be 10 meters, that is, a first network detection point is set every 10 meters in the route to be identified.

[0055] A first network status parameter is obtained at each first network detection point, and the network status parameter of each first network detection point is compared with the first network status threshold to determine the network status detection result of each first network detection point. The network status detection result may include a qualified network status detection or an unqualified network status detection. In some specific embodiments, if the first network status parameter is a network signal strength value, such as a signal strength value determined by the vehicle network module through a network connection test with the cloud, when the network signal strength value is greater than the preset first network strength threshold, the network status detection result of the network detection point is determined to be qualified, otherwise the network status detection result is determined to be unqualified.

[0056] Based on the network status detection results of all first network detection points and the number of first network detection points, the first network status qualification rate is determined. In some specific embodiments, the first network status qualification rate can be determined by dividing the number of first network detection points with qualified network status detection results by the number of first network detection points.

[0057] If the first network status pass rate is greater than the first pass rate threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met. Specifically, if there are 100 network detection points in total, and the detection results of 96 network detection points are qualified, the first network status pass rate is 96 / 100=96%. If the first pass rate threshold is set to 95%, the first network status pass rate is greater than the first pass rate threshold, and it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met.

[0058] The present application sets a network detection point and a first pass rate threshold in the route to be identified to judge the overall network connection status on the route to be identified. When the network connection status is good, it is determined that the first road condition sub-parameter meets the corresponding first preset sub-condition, that is, it meets the judgment requirements of autonomous driving, and can fully consider the network connection status in actual road conditions, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the autonomous driving area.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first road condition sub-parameter includes road width; and determining whether the first road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition includes: S601: Based on the road widths of multiple road width detection points and a road width threshold, determine whether the road width of each road width detection point is greater than the road width threshold, wherein every two adjacent road width detection points are separated by a second preset distance in the route to be identified.

[0060] S603: If the road widths of all road width detection points are greater than the road width threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the width of the road on the route to be identified can be used to determine whether the automatic driving condition is met. The first road condition sub-parameter includes the road width. It can be understood that the wider the road width, the higher the safety of the vehicle's automatic driving.

[0062] A plurality of road width detection points are set in the route to be identified, and the interval between each two adjacent road width detection points is a second preset distance. The second preset distance may also include a plurality of second preset sub-distances, and each second preset sub-distance may be the same or different. That is, the interval between each two adjacent road width detection points may be the same or different. In some specific embodiments, the second preset distance may be 10 meters, that is, a road width detection point is set every 10 meters in the route to be identified.

[0063] The road width is obtained at each road width detection point, and the road width at each road width detection point is compared with the road width threshold, and it is determined whether the road width at each road width detection point is greater than the road width threshold. If the road widths of all road width detection points are greater than the road width threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the road condition threshold can be set to 6 meters.

[0064] The present application sets a road width detection point and a road width threshold in the route to be identified to judge the overall road width on the route to be identified, and when the road width meets the conditions, determines that the first road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition, that is, it meets the judgment requirements of autonomous driving, and can fully consider the road width in actual road conditions, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the autonomous driving area.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first road condition sub-parameter includes ambient light intensity; and determining whether the first road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition includes: S701: Based on the ambient light intensity and the light intensity threshold of multiple light intensity detection points, determine whether the ambient light intensity of each light intensity detection point is greater than the light intensity threshold, wherein every two adjacent light intensity detection points are separated by a third preset distance in the route to be identified.

[0066] S703: If the ambient light intensities of all light intensity detection points are greater than the light intensity threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the ambient light intensity on the route to be identified can be used to determine whether the automatic driving condition is met. The first road condition sub-parameter includes the ambient light intensity. It can be understood that the ambient light intensity needs to meet the lighting conditions of the vehicle data acquisition device, thereby realizing the automatic driving of the vehicle.

[0068] A plurality of light intensity detection points are set in the route to be identified, and the interval between each two adjacent light intensity detection points is a third preset distance. The third preset distance may also include a plurality of third preset sub-distances, and each third preset sub-distance may be the same or different. That is, the interval between each two adjacent light intensity detection points may be the same or different. In some specific embodiments, the third preset distance may be 10 meters, that is, a light intensity detection point is set every 10 meters in the route to be identified.

[0069] The ambient light intensity is obtained at each light intensity detection point, and the ambient light intensity at each light intensity detection point is compared with the light intensity threshold, and it is determined whether the ambient light intensity at each light intensity detection point is greater than the light intensity threshold. If the ambient light intensity at all light intensity detection points is greater than the light intensity threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the light intensity threshold can be set to 80LUX.

[0070] The present application sets light intensity detection points and light intensity thresholds in the route to be identified to determine the overall ambient light intensity on the route to be identified, and when the ambient light intensity meets the conditions, determines that the first road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition, that is, it meets the judgment requirements of autonomous driving, and can fully consider the ambient light intensity in actual road conditions, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the autonomous driving area.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first traffic condition sub-parameter includes a minimum turning radius and an intersection spacing, and the intersection spacing includes a distance between every two adjacent intersections in the route to be identified; and determining whether the first traffic condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding first preset sub-condition includes: S801: Determine whether the minimum turning radius of each intersection in the to-be-identified route is greater than a radius threshold, and determine whether the intersection spacing is greater than an intersection spacing threshold.

[0072] S803: If the minimum turning radius of all intersections is greater than the radius threshold and the intersection spacing is greater than the intersection spacing threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, whether the automatic driving condition is met can be determined by the minimum turning radius and the intersection spacing on the route to be identified. The first road condition sub-parameter includes the minimum turning radius and the intersection spacing. It can be understood that the larger the minimum turning radius and the intersection spacing, the higher the safety of the vehicle's automatic driving.

[0074] Determine whether the minimum turning radius of each intersection in the route to be identified is greater than a radius threshold, and determine whether the intersection spacing is greater than an intersection spacing threshold. Wherein, the intersection may include a corner intersection, a T-junction, a crossroads, etc. in the route to be identified. The intersection spacing includes the distance between each two adjacent intersections in the route to be identified.

[0075] If the minimum turning radius of all intersections is greater than the radius threshold and the intersection spacing is greater than the intersection spacing threshold, it is determined that the corresponding first preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the radius threshold may be 6 meters, and the intersection spacing threshold may be 100 meters.

[0076] The present application determines that the first road condition sub-parameter meets the corresponding first preset sub-condition when it is judged that the intersection spacing and intersection density on the route to be identified meet the requirements, that is, it meets the judgment requirements of autonomous driving. It can fully consider the difficulty of the vehicle automatically passing through the intersection under actual road conditions, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the identification of the autonomous driving area.

[0077] The following is an explanation of an implementation method of determining whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition when it is determined that the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route through an embodiment of the present application.

[0078] In some embodiments, the second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of autonomous driving tests and the number of autonomous driving completions in the autonomous driving route; and determining whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S901: Determine whether the number of autonomous driving tests is greater than the preset number of tests, and determine whether the number of autonomous driving completions is greater than the preset number of completions, and the preset number of tests is greater than or equal to the preset number of completions.

[0079] S903: If the number of autonomous driving tests is greater than the preset number of tests and the number of autonomous driving completions is greater than the preset number of completions, it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the route to be identified is an autonomous driving route, it is necessary to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving state, travel along the autonomous driving route multiple times and obtain a second road condition parameter to further determine whether the area to be identified meets the conditions for autonomous driving.

[0081] The second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of autonomous driving tests and the number of autonomous driving completions on the autonomous driving route. The number of autonomous driving tests can be the number of attempts to drive along the autonomous driving route. If the autonomous driving function is terminated before reaching the end of the autonomous driving route, or the vehicle successfully drives to the end of the autonomous driving route, the number of autonomous driving tests increases by 1. The number of autonomous driving completions is the number of times the vehicle drives along the autonomous driving route from the starting point of the autonomous driving route and successfully drives to the end of the autonomous driving route.

[0082] If the number of autonomous driving tests is greater than the preset number of tests and the number of autonomous driving completions is greater than the preset number of completions, it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the preset number of tests is 5 and the preset number of completions is 3, that is, if the autonomous driving test is completed 3 times out of 5 times, it is considered that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, by performing autonomous driving tests multiple times on autonomous driving routes in the area to be identified, the number of autonomous driving tests and the number of autonomous driving completions are used to further determine whether the actual road conditions meet the autonomous driving conditions, thereby effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the autonomous driving area.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of oncoming vehicles passing, and the number of oncoming vehicles passing includes the number of vehicles passing during a single oncoming waiting period in the autonomous driving route; and determining whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S1001: Determine whether the number of oncoming vehicles passing is less than a preset threshold value of the number of oncoming vehicles.

[0085] S1003: If the number of oncoming vehicles passing is less than the preset threshold number of passing vehicles, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of oncoming vehicles passing in the area to be identified can be used to determine whether the autonomous driving condition is met. The second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of oncoming vehicles passing, and the number of oncoming vehicles passing includes the number of vehicles passing during a single oncoming waiting period in the route that can be autonomously driven. Specifically, the number of oncoming vehicles passing can be the sum of the number of passing vehicles and the number of oncoming vehicles detected when the vehicle is in a single oncoming deceleration or braking state.

[0087] It is determined whether the number of oncoming vehicles passing is less than a preset threshold number of passing vehicles, and if the number of oncoming vehicles passing is less than the preset threshold number of passing vehicles, it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the threshold number of vehicles may be 3.

[0088] The embodiment of the present application can determine the volume of traffic in the actual road conditions in the area to be identified by obtaining the number of oncoming vehicles passing through, and further determine whether the actual road conditions meet the conditions for autonomous driving, thereby effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the area that can be autonomously driven.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of vehicles passing through the intersection, and the number of vehicles passing through the intersection includes the number of vehicles traveling together and the number of vehicles traveling against the flow at each intersection in the autonomous driving route; and determining whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S1101: Determine whether the number of the same-traveling vehicles is less than a preset threshold number of the same-traveling vehicles, and determine whether the number of the wrong-traveling vehicles is less than a preset threshold number of the wrong-traveling vehicles.

[0090] S1103: If the number of the same-traveling vehicles is less than the preset threshold number of the same-traveling vehicles and the number of the wrong-traveling vehicles is less than the preset threshold number of the wrong-traveling vehicles, it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of vehicles passing through the intersection in the area to be identified can be used to determine whether the autonomous driving conditions are met. The second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of vehicles passing through the intersection, and the number of vehicles passing through the intersection includes the number of vehicles traveling together and the number of vehicles traveling against the flow at each intersection in the autonomous driving route. Specifically, the number of vehicles passing through the intersection includes the number of vehicles traveling together and the number of vehicles traveling against the flow detected at each intersection in the autonomous driving route when braking or not braking.

[0092] Determine whether the number of traveling together vehicles is less than a preset traveling together vehicle number threshold, and determine whether the number of vehicles traveling against the flow is less than a preset traveling against the flow threshold. If the number of traveling together vehicles is less than the preset traveling together vehicle number threshold and the number of vehicles traveling against the flow is less than the preset traveling against the flow threshold, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the traveling together vehicle number threshold may be 3, and the traveling against the flow threshold may be 3.

[0093] By obtaining the number of vehicles passing through the intersection, the embodiment of the present application can determine the volume of traffic at the intersection in the actual road conditions in the area to be identified, and further determine whether the actual road conditions meet the conditions for autonomous driving, thereby effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the area that can be autonomously driven.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second traffic condition sub-parameter includes a second network status parameter; and determining whether the second traffic condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S1201: Based on second network status parameters and second network status thresholds of multiple second network detection points, determine a network status detection result of each second network detection point respectively, wherein every two adjacent second network detection points are separated by a fourth preset distance in the route to be identified.

[0095] S1203: Determine a second network status qualification rate based on the network status detection results of all second network detection points and the number of second network detection points.

[0096] S1205: If the second network status qualification rate is greater than a second qualification rate threshold, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the network status on the autonomous driving route can be used to further determine whether the autonomous driving condition is met. The second road condition sub-parameter includes a second network status parameter, which can be a network signal strength value or a network uplink and downlink data transmission value per second.

[0098] A plurality of second network detection points are set in the route to be identified, and the interval between each two adjacent second network detection points is a fourth preset distance. The fourth preset distance may also include a plurality of fourth preset sub-distances, and each fourth preset sub-distance may be the same or different. That is, the interval between each two adjacent second network detection points may be the same or different. In some specific embodiments, the fourth preset distance may be 10 meters, that is, a second network detection point is set every 10 meters in the route to be identified.

[0099] The second network status parameter is obtained at each second network detection point, and the network status parameter of each second network detection point is compared with the second network status threshold to determine the network status detection result of each second network detection point. The network status detection result may include a qualified network status detection or an unqualified network status detection. In some specific embodiments, if the second network status parameter is a network signal strength value, such as a signal strength value determined by the vehicle network module through a network connection test with the cloud, when the network signal strength value is greater than the preset second network strength threshold, the network status detection result of the network detection point is determined to be qualified, otherwise the network status detection result is determined to be unqualified.

[0100] Based on the network status detection results of all second network detection points and the number of second network detection points, the second network status qualification rate is determined. In some specific embodiments, the second network status qualification rate can be determined by dividing the number of second network detection points with qualified network status detection results by the number of second network detection points.

[0101] If the second network status pass rate is greater than the second pass rate threshold, it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met. Specifically, if there are 100 network detection points in total, and the detection results of 98 network detection points are qualified, the second network status pass rate is 98 / 100=98%. If the second pass rate threshold is set to 95%, the second network status pass rate is greater than the second pass rate threshold, and it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0102] The present application further determines the overall network connection status on the autonomous driving route by setting a second network detection point and a second pass rate threshold in the autonomous driving route. When the network connection status is good, it determines that the second road condition sub-parameter meets the corresponding second preset sub-condition, that is, it meets the judgment requirements of autonomous driving, and can further verify the network connection status in actual road conditions, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the autonomous driving area.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of pedestrian recognitions, and the number of pedestrian recognitions includes the number of pedestrians recognized every fifth preset distance traveled in the autonomous driving route; and determining whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S1301: Determine whether the number of pedestrians identified is less than a preset pedestrian number threshold.

[0104] S1303: If the number of pedestrians identified is less than the preset pedestrian number threshold, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of pedestrians identified in the area to be identified can be used to determine whether the autonomous driving condition is met. The second road condition sub-parameter includes the number of pedestrians identified, and the number of pedestrians identified includes the number of pedestrians identified every fifth preset distance in the route that can be autonomously driven.

[0106] Determine whether the number of pedestrians recognized is less than a preset pedestrian number threshold. If the number of pedestrians recognized is less than the preset pedestrian number threshold, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the fifth preset distance may be 20 meters, and the pedestrian number threshold may be 3. If the number of pedestrians recognized every 20 meters in the autonomous driving route is less than 3, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met.

[0107] By obtaining the number of pedestrians identified, the embodiment of the present application can determine the size of the pedestrian flow in the actual road conditions in the area to be identified, and further determine whether the actual road conditions meet the conditions for autonomous driving, thereby effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of identifying the area that can be autonomously driven.

[0108] In some embodiments, the second road condition sub-parameter includes at least one pedestrian recognition duration, and the pedestrian recognition duration includes the duration of each pedestrian recognition in the autonomous driving route; and determining whether the second road condition sub-parameter satisfies the corresponding second preset sub-condition includes: S1401: Determine the cumulative pedestrian recognition duration in the autonomous driving route based on the at least one pedestrian recognition duration.

[0109] S1403: Determine whether the accumulated pedestrian recognition time is less than a preset time threshold, and if so, determine that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is satisfied.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, whether the automatic driving conditions are met can be determined by the duration of pedestrian recognition in the area to be recognized. The second road condition sub-parameter includes at least one pedestrian recognition duration, and the pedestrian recognition duration includes the duration of each pedestrian recognition in the route that can be automatically driven. Specifically, when the vehicle is driving along the route that can be automatically driven in the automatic driving state, each time a pedestrian is detected is the starting point of the timing, and the timing ends when there are no pedestrians in the detection range this time. The pedestrian recognition duration is the duration from the starting point of the timing to the end point of the timing.

[0111] The cumulative pedestrian recognition time in the autonomous driving route is determined based on at least one pedestrian recognition time. Specifically, all pedestrian recognition times are accumulated to determine the cumulative pedestrian recognition time. It is determined whether the cumulative pedestrian recognition time is less than a preset time threshold. If it is less than the preset time threshold, it is determined that the corresponding second preset sub-condition is met. In some specific embodiments, the preset time threshold may be 3 minutes.

[0112] The following describes the implementation of the method for identifying areas that can be driven autonomously through specific examples of the present application.

[0113] like Figure 3 As shown, after creating a route to be identified in the area to be identified, the network status is obtained every 10m during the vehicle driving process and it is judged whether it is qualified, the road width is obtained every 10m, the ambient light intensity is obtained every 10m, the minimum turning radius of each intersection on the route to be identified and the number of intersections passed every 100m are obtained, and the judgment is made according to the above-mentioned first road condition parameter. If the qualified rate of the network status in the route to be identified is greater than 95%, all road widths are greater than or equal to 6m, all ambient light intensities are greater than or equal to 80LUX, the minimum turning radius of all intersections is greater than or equal to 6m, and the number of intersections passed every 100m is less than or equal to 1, then the route to be identified is determined to be a route that can be driven without human drivers; if at least one of the above judgment conditions is not met, then the route to be identified is determined to be a route that cannot be driven without human drivers.

[0114] Further, verify the unmanned driving route and determine whether the area to be identified is an unmanned driving area. Control the vehicle to drive continuously on the unmanned driving route in an automatic driving state for 5 times, and determine whether the number of successful driving to the end point is greater than 3 times. Control the vehicle to drive continuously on the unmanned driving route in an automatic driving state for 3 times, and determine whether the number of vehicles passing during the single waiting time of the vehicle when meeting is less than or equal to 4 vehicles, and when the vehicle is within 5m of the intersection, determine whether the sum of the number of vehicles traveling together and the number of vehicles going against the flow at each intersection on the route when the vehicle stops is less than or equal to 3, determine whether the number of different pedestrians identified within every 20m of the vehicle is less than or equal to 3, determine whether the cumulative continuous identification time of pedestrians is less than or equal to 3min, obtain the network status every 10m and determine whether it is qualified, and determine whether the qualified rate of the network status is greater than 95%. If all the above judgment conditions are met, the area to be identified is determined to be an unmanned driving area; if at least one of the above judgment conditions is not met, the area to be identified is determined to be a non-unmanned driving area.
