Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of autonomous driving technology, and in particular to a vehicle control method, a vehicle control device, a computer device, a readable storage medium, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, when various automatic driving assistance functions are activated, they consider the driver's intention to take priority, and will regard the driver's steering, pressing the accelerator, etc. as a state of takeover, thereby exiting the automatic driving state.

[0003] That is to say, the vehicle control in the related art is based on the driver's operation first, but sometimes the driver's operation is unreliable, and controlling the vehicle based on the unreliable driving operation will affect driving safety. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a vehicle control method, a vehicle control device, a computer device, a readable storage medium and a vehicle, which can judge the rationality of the driver's takeover status and improve the reliability of takeover.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method, including:

[0006] Acquiring information about the driver's intention to take over the vehicle and the driver's emotional state in the automatic driving mode;

[0007] Determining whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid according to the emotional state information of the driver;

[0008] If the takeover intention is invalid, the automatic driving mode is maintained.

[0009] In this technical solution, when the vehicle is operating in the automatic driving mode, information about the driver's intention to take over the vehicle and information about the driver's current emotional state are obtained.

[0010] The driver's current emotional state information is used to judge the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information, and whether the takeover intention is a valid takeover intention issued by the driver in a stable emotional state. If the driver's takeover intention is determined to be invalid, the takeover intention is ignored, the driver's takeover of the vehicle is rejected, and the automatic driving mode is continued.

[0011] In the embodiment of the present application, the effectiveness of the driver's takeover intention is judged through the driver's emotional state information, that is, whether the driver's takeover state is reasonable is judged, so as to avoid safety problems caused by the driver taking over the vehicle in abnormal emotional states such as excitement and distraction, improve the reliability of the driver's takeover, and ensure driving safety.

[0012] According to the above method of the embodiment of the present application, the following additional technical features may also be provided:

[0013] In the above technical solution, optionally, the method also includes: if the takeover intention is valid, exiting the automatic driving mode, and controlling the vehicle according to the takeover intention information.

[0014] In this technical solution, if it is determined that the driver's intention to take over is a valid intention to take over issued by the driver in a stable emotional state, the automatic driving mode is exited and the vehicle operation is controlled according to the driver's takeover intention information, thereby improving the reliability of the driver's takeover and meeting the driver's driving needs.

[0015] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the driver's emotional state information specifically includes: comparing the driver's takeover intention information with a preset takeover intention threshold; if the takeover intention information reaches the preset takeover intention threshold, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the driver's emotional state information.

[0016] In this technical solution, before judging the validity of the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information according to the driver's emotional state information, it is judged whether the driver's takeover intention is a false action. Specifically, the driver's takeover intention information is compared with a preset takeover intention threshold. If the takeover intention information reaches the preset takeover intention threshold, it indicates that the driver's takeover intention has a large action degree, and it is not a false action of the driver, then the validity of the takeover intention is judged according to the driver's emotional state information; if the takeover intention information does not reach the preset takeover intention threshold, it indicates that the driver's takeover intention has a small action degree, which may be a false action of the driver, and the takeover intention information is ignored at this time.

[0017] Through the above method, it is possible to determine whether the driver's intention to take over is a false action, thereby avoiding identifying some of the driver's unconscious and minor actions as driving intentions, which may affect automatic driving.

[0018] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the driver's emotional state information specifically includes: comparing the driver's emotional state information with a preset emotional state threshold; if the emotional state information reaches the preset emotional state threshold, determining that the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is invalid; if the emotional state information does not reach the preset emotional state threshold, determining that the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid.

[0019] In this technical solution, the driver's current emotional state information is compared with the preset emotional state threshold. If the emotional state information reaches the preset emotional state threshold, it is determined that the driver is in an abnormal emotional state. The abnormal emotional state includes at least one of the following: excitement, fatigue, distraction, and the driver's takeover intention in the abnormal emotional state is an invalid takeover intention. If the emotional state information does not reach the preset emotional state threshold, it is determined that the driver is in a stable emotional state, and the driver's takeover intention in the stable emotional state is a valid takeover intention.

[0020] The embodiment of the present application can use the driver's emotional state to judge the effectiveness of his takeover intention, and only allow takeover when the takeover intention is valid, otherwise continue automatic driving, thereby improving the reliability of the driver's takeover of the vehicle.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, the method also includes: obtaining the driving level information of the driver, and determining the preset emotional state threshold based on the driving level information of the driver; wherein, the higher the driving level of the driver, the higher the preset emotional state threshold, and the lower the driving level of the driver, the lower the preset emotional state threshold.

[0022] In this technical solution, the driver's driving level information is obtained, and then the preset emotional state threshold for determining whether the takeover intention is valid is determined. Specifically, the lower the driver's driving level, the lower the preset emotional state threshold is set; the higher the driver's driving level, the higher the preset emotional state threshold is set.

[0023] Through the above method, the effectiveness of the takeover intention of drivers with low driving skills can be judged more strictly, and the driving safety of drivers with little driving experience can be better guaranteed.

[0024] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, the emotional state information includes the driver's facial expression and / or line of sight direction; the method of obtaining the driver's emotional state information includes: obtaining the driver's head image, and identifying the head image, to obtain the driver's facial expression and / or line of sight direction; and / or, the emotional state information includes the driver's voice volume; the method of obtaining the driver's emotional state information includes: obtaining the driver's voice information, and identifying the voice information, to obtain the driver's voice volume; and / or, the emotional state information includes the driver's physiological information, and the physiological information includes at least one of the following: blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate.

[0025] In this technical solution, the driver's emotional state information includes but is not limited to facial expressions, sight direction, voice volume, physiological information, etc. Through the above emotional state information, it is possible to accurately determine whether the driver's emotional state is stable or abnormal, thereby accurately judging the effectiveness of his takeover intention.

[0026] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, obtaining the driver's emotional state information includes: obtaining the driver's emotional state information at a first moment, or obtaining the driver's emotional state information within a preset time period before the first moment; wherein, the first moment is the moment when the takeover intention information is obtained.

[0027] In this technical solution, the driver's emotional state information can be the emotional state information when the driver issues the takeover intention. In addition, in order to more accurately determine the driver's emotional state, the driver's emotional state information within a period of time before issuing the takeover intention can also be obtained.

[0028] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, the method further includes: if the takeover intention is invalid, issuing a prompt message that the takeover intention is invalid and / or an abnormal emotional state warning message.

[0029] In this technical solution, if it is determined that the driver's takeover intention is invalid, a prompt message indicating that the takeover intention is invalid and / or an abnormal emotional state warning message is issued, thereby informing the driver that his takeover intention is not allowed, the vehicle is not operating according to his takeover intention, and informing the driver the reason why his takeover intention is not allowed, that is, reminding the driver that his emotional state is abnormal, so that the driver can adjust his emotions in time to ensure driving safety.

[0030] In any of the above technical solutions, optionally, if the takeover intention is invalid, the automatic driving mode is maintained, which specifically includes: if the takeover intention is invalid, issuing pending confirmation information on whether to maintain the automatic driving mode; if the driver's confirmation information on maintaining the automatic driving mode is obtained, the automatic driving mode is maintained.

[0047] The vehicle control method, vehicle control device, computer equipment, readable storage medium and vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0048] The present application embodiment provides a vehicle control method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] The present application provides a vehicle control method, including:

[0050] Step 101, obtaining information about the driver's intention to take over the vehicle in the automatic driving mode and information about the driver's emotional state.

[0051] In this step, the vehicle is running in the automatic driving mode, and the driver's takeover intention information of the vehicle is obtained. The takeover intention information may include throttle depth, throttle rate, brake depth, brake rate, steering wheel angle, etc. Correspondingly, the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information includes stepping on the accelerator, stepping on the brake or steering, etc. In addition, the driver's current emotional state information is obtained, wherein the driver's emotional state includes excitement, fatigue, distraction, concentration, etc.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the emotional state information includes the driver's facial expression and / or line of sight direction; a method for obtaining the driver's emotional state information includes: obtaining a head image of the driver, and identifying the head image, to obtain the driver's facial expression and / or line of sight direction; and / or, the emotional state information includes the driver's voice volume; a method for obtaining the driver's emotional state information includes: obtaining the driver's voice information, and identifying the voice information, to obtain the driver's voice volume; and / or, the emotional state information includes the driver's physiological information, and the physiological information includes at least one of the following: blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate.

[0053] In this embodiment, the driver's emotional state information includes but is not limited to facial expressions, sight direction, voice volume, physiological information, etc.

[0054] The driver's facial expressions and / or line of sight direction can be obtained by collecting and identifying the driver's head image, and the image acquisition device can be a camera installed on the vehicle; the driver's voice volume can be obtained by collecting and identifying the driver's voice information, and the voice acquisition device can be a recording device installed on the vehicle or the driver's terminal; the driver's physiological information can be obtained through an external device (for example, a wearable device) that is communicatively connected to the vehicle.

[0055] Through the above-mentioned emotional state information, it is possible to accurately judge whether the driver's emotional state is stable or abnormal, thereby accurately judging the effectiveness of his takeover intention.

[0056] However, it should be noted that the acquisition of the driver's emotional state information is carried out with the driver's authorization to protect the driver's personal privacy.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, obtaining the emotional state information of the driver includes: obtaining the emotional state information of the driver at a first moment, or obtaining the emotional state information of the driver within a preset time period before the first moment; wherein, the first moment is the moment when the takeover intention information is obtained.

[0058] In this embodiment, the driver's emotional state information may be the emotional state information when the driver issues the takeover intention. In addition, the driver's emotional state information for a period of time before the driver issues the takeover intention may also be obtained. For example, for an emotional state such as distraction, the line of sight direction information for a period of time is required to accurately determine the driver's emotional state, thereby being able to more accurately determine the driver's emotional state.

[0059] Step 102, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the emotional state information of the driver, if the takeover intention is invalid, proceeding to step 103, if the takeover intention is valid, proceeding to step 104.

[0060] In this step, the driver's current emotional state information is used to judge the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information, and to judge whether the driver's takeover intention is a valid takeover intention issued by the driver in a stable emotional state.

[0061] Among them, stable emotional states include concentration; unstable emotional states, that is, abnormal emotional states, include excitement, fatigue, distraction, etc.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the driver's emotional state information specifically includes: comparing the driver's takeover intention information with a preset takeover intention threshold; if the takeover intention information reaches the preset takeover intention threshold, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the driver's emotional state information.

[0063] In this embodiment, before judging the validity of the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information according to the driver's emotional state information, it is judged whether the driver's takeover intention is a false action. Specifically, the driver's takeover intention information is compared with a preset takeover intention threshold. If the takeover intention information reaches the preset takeover intention threshold, it indicates that the driver's takeover intention has a large action degree and is not a false action of the driver. Then, the validity of the takeover intention is judged according to the driver's emotional state information; if the takeover intention information does not reach the preset takeover intention threshold, it indicates that the driver's takeover intention has a small action degree and may be a false action of the driver. At this time, the takeover intention information is ignored.

[0064] For example, the driver's takeover intention is to step on the accelerator, the takeover intention information is the accelerator depth, and the preset takeover intention threshold includes the preset accelerator threshold. Then, it is determined whether the accelerator depth is greater than or equal to the preset accelerator threshold. If it is greater than or equal to, it indicates that the driver's accelerator action is large and the accelerator action is not a driver's erroneous action. Then, the effectiveness of the takeover intention is further determined based on the driver's emotional state information; if it is less than, it indicates that the driver's accelerator action is small and the accelerator action is a driver's erroneous action. Then, the driver's accelerator action is ignored.

[0065] Through the above method, it is possible to determine whether the driver's intention to take over is a false action, thereby avoiding identifying some of the driver's unconscious and minor actions as driving intentions, which may affect automatic driving.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, judging whether the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid based on the driver's emotional state information specifically includes: comparing the driver's emotional state information with a preset emotional state threshold; if the emotional state information reaches the preset emotional state threshold, determining that the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is invalid; if the emotional state information does not reach the preset emotional state threshold, determining that the takeover intention corresponding to the takeover intention information is valid.

[0067] In this embodiment, the driver's current emotional state information is compared with a preset emotional state threshold. If the emotional state information reaches the preset emotional state threshold, it is determined that the driver is in an abnormal emotional state, and the abnormal emotional state includes at least one of the following: excitement, fatigue, and distraction. The driver's takeover intention in an abnormal emotional state is an invalid takeover intention. If the emotional state information does not reach the preset emotional state threshold, it is determined that the driver is in a stable emotional state, and the driver's takeover intention in a stable emotional state is a valid takeover intention.

[0068] Exemplarily, the driver's emotional state information includes but is not limited to facial expressions, sight direction, voice volume, physiological information, etc. The preset emotional state threshold includes a similarity threshold. When the driver's current facial expression is similar to the frightened facial expression to a similarity threshold, the driver is determined to be in a frightened (i.e., excited) emotional state; the preset emotional state threshold includes a preset time threshold. When the driver's sight direction has deviated from the normal driving direction for 30 seconds and exceeds the preset time threshold, the driver is determined to be in a distracted emotional state; the preset emotional state threshold includes a preset volume threshold. When the driver's voice volume is greater than or equal to the preset volume threshold, the driver is determined to be in a frightened (i.e., excited) emotional state; the preset emotional state threshold includes a preset heart rate threshold. When the driver's heart rate is greater than or equal to the preset heart rate threshold, the driver is determined to be in a frightened (i.e., excited) emotional state.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application can use the driver's emotional state to judge the effectiveness of his takeover intention, and only allow takeover when the takeover intention is valid, otherwise continue automatic driving, thereby improving the reliability of the driver's takeover of the vehicle.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, the method also includes: obtaining the driving level information of the driver, and determining the preset emotional state threshold based on the driving level information of the driver; wherein, the higher the driving level of the driver, the higher the preset emotional state threshold, and the lower the driving level of the driver, the lower the preset emotional state threshold.

[0071] In this embodiment, the driver's driving level information is obtained, and then the preset emotional state threshold for determining whether the takeover intention is valid is determined. Specifically, the lower the driver's driving level, the lower the preset emotional state threshold is set; the higher the driver's driving level, the higher the preset emotional state threshold is set.

[0072] The driving level can be determined based on the self-assessment information of the driver, the driver's driving mileage, the length of the driver's license, etc. In addition, if the vehicle is an online car-hailing vehicle, its driving level can also be determined based on the evaluation information of the driver by the passengers.

[0073] Through the above method, the effectiveness of the takeover intention of drivers with low driving skills can be judged more strictly, and the driving safety of drivers with little driving experience can be better guaranteed.

[0074] Step 103, maintaining the automatic driving mode.

[0075] In this step, if it is determined that the driver's takeover intention is invalid, the takeover intention is ignored, the driver's takeover of the vehicle is rejected, and the automatic driving mode continues to be executed.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: if the takeover intention is invalid, issuing a prompt message indicating that the takeover intention is invalid and / or an abnormal emotional state warning message.

[0077] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the driver's takeover intention is invalid, a prompt message indicating that the takeover intention is invalid and / or an abnormal emotional state warning message is issued, thereby informing the driver that his takeover intention is not allowed, the vehicle is not operating according to his takeover intention, and informing the driver the reason why his takeover intention is not allowed, that is, reminding the driver that his emotional state is abnormal, so that the driver can adjust his emotions in time to ensure driving safety.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present application, if the takeover intention is invalid, the automatic driving mode is maintained, which specifically includes: if the takeover intention is invalid, issuing pending confirmation information on whether to maintain the automatic driving mode; if confirmation information from the driver to maintain the automatic driving mode is obtained, the automatic driving mode is maintained.

[0079] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the driver's takeover intention is invalid, a query message (i.e., confirmation information) is sent to the driver to ask whether to maintain the automatic driving mode, and the driver's feedback information is received. If the feedback information is confirmation information to maintain the automatic driving mode, the automatic driving mode is maintained; if the feedback information is to operate according to the takeover intention information, the vehicle is controlled according to the driver's takeover intention information, that is, the manual driving mode is performed.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the driver's intention to take over is further confirmed based on the driver's feedback, thereby determining the final driving mode to meet the driver's driving needs.

[0081] Step 104, exit the automatic driving mode, and control the vehicle according to the takeover intention information.

[0082] In this step, if it is determined that the driver's intention to take over is a valid intention to take over issued by the driver in a stable emotional state, the automatic driving mode is exited, and the vehicle operation is controlled according to the driver's takeover intention information, thereby meeting the driver's driving needs.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the effectiveness of the driver's takeover intention is judged through the driver's emotional state information, that is, whether the driver's takeover state is reasonable is judged, so as to avoid safety problems caused by the driver taking over the vehicle in abnormal emotional states such as excitement and distraction, improve the reliability of the driver's takeover, and ensure driving safety.

[0084] In addition, in one embodiment, when the vehicle is operating in manual driving mode, the driver's intention to take over the vehicle and the driver's emotional state information can also be obtained, and then the validity of the driver's intention to take over can be judged based on the driver's emotional state information. If it is determined that the intention to take over is valid, the vehicle can be controlled according to the takeover intention information.

[0085] Furthermore, as a specific implementation of the above vehicle control method, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control device. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle control device 200 includes: an acquisition module 201 , a judgment module 202 and a control module 203 .
