Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent automobile technology, and in particular to an adaptive updating method, device, vehicle and program product of a hands-off warning function. Background Art

[0002] Currently, mainstream smart cars in the industry are equipped with lateral assisted driving functions such as LCC (lane centering assist system) and LSS (lane keeping assist system). These functions do not support the driver to take their hands off the steering wheel for a long time.

[0003] For safety and regulatory requirements, the LCC and LSS functional systems are designed with a hands-off alarm function. After the driver's hands are off the steering wheel for a certain period of time, the system will remind the driver to take over the vehicle through sound and vision. If the driver still does not take over the vehicle, the system will automatically exit the vehicle's lateral control. If the driver resumes taking over the steering wheel control during this period, the system will stop the hands-off alarm prompt.

[0004] This type of assisted driving function is usually designed with a torque sensor steering wheel solution to monitor the hand torque applied by the driver on the steering wheel to perform hands-off detection and judgment. When the torque value is less than a certain value (aNm) for a certain time (t1), it is determined that the driver has lost control of the steering wheel. When the torque value is greater than a certain value (bNm) for a certain time (t2), it is determined that the driver has resumed control of the steering wheel.

[0005] Most common solutions in the industry are to calibrate fixed alarm thresholds (a, b, t1, t2) before the vehicle leaves the factory. This threshold is solidified after a large number of real vehicle debugging during the previous function development period. The parameter threshold is no longer changed after the vehicle leaves the factory. Although the system complexity and development cost are low, it still has the following disadvantages:

[0006] (1) Each vehicle model must be calibrated on a real vehicle, and the functional software development cycle is long;

[0007] (2) The hands-off alarm threshold (a, t1) and takeover recovery threshold (b, t2) used are fixed values ​​and must be solidified before the vehicle leaves the factory. They cannot be changed after the vehicle leaves the factory.

[0008] (3) The same car model cannot be differentiated to adapt to all car owners, which can easily lead to erroneous hands-off alarms or driver-override alarms, affecting the functional experience and causing dissatisfaction or complaints from car owners.

[0009] (4) For example, when an experienced driver applies very little force to the steering wheel during normal driving, the system may mistakenly issue a "driver taking over the vehicle" alarm reminder during normal driving;

[0010] (5) In the scenario where the system issues a hands-off alarm, due to individual differences, some people are accustomed to using less force, resulting in the "driver taking over the vehicle" alarm continuing to sound after taking over the vehicle, and the recovery function is slow. Summary of the invention

[0038] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0039] The following describes the adaptive updating method, device, vehicle and program product of the hands-off alarm function of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the problem mentioned in the above background technology that the false alarm rate of the hands-off alarm reminder is high according to the alarm threshold calibrated and fixed before the vehicle leaves the factory, the present application provides an adaptive updating method of the hands-off alarm function, in which the facial information of the current driver is identified. If the vehicle does not output the ID information of the current driver based on the facial information, the torque value of the current driver output by the steering wheel of the vehicle is collected when the vehicle meets the preset data collection conditions, the torque average value is calculated based on the torque value as a new hands-off alarm threshold, and a new takeover prompt threshold is determined based on the hands-off alarm threshold, and the new hands-off alarm threshold and the new takeover prompt threshold are used as the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver. After the vehicle is powered on again and the auxiliary driving function is turned on, if the ID information of the current driver is detected, the hands-off alarm is performed according to the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver. As a result, the problem of high false alarm and missed alarm rates of hands-off alarm reminders based on the fixed alarm threshold calibrated before the vehicle leaves the factory is solved, and the software development workload and cycle of lateral control-type assisted driving functions are greatly reduced. The same model / the same car can adapt to the driving habits of different drivers, the functions are used accurately, false alarms and missed alarms are reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 1 A flowchart of an adaptive updating method for a hands-free alarm function provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive updating method of the hands-off warning function includes the following steps:

[0042] It should be noted that the prerequisite for the adaptive update method of the vehicle's hands-off warning function is:

[0043] (1) The vehicle is equipped with a forward-looking intelligent camera and LCC / LSS assisted driving system function;

[0044] (2) The vehicle is equipped with a computer, which can input the flag information of the vehicle's first activation login;

[0045] (3) The vehicle is equipped with a navigation system that can output road status information and distinguish between highways, expressways, and other roads (tentatively classified into three categories);

[0046] (4) The vehicle is equipped with a car navigation system, which can output road speed limit information, such as 60 / 80;

[0047] (5) The intelligent camera perception module can identify and output road conditions, distinguishing between asphalt pavement, concrete pavement, and other roads (tentatively three categories);

[0048] (6) The intelligent camera perception module can identify and output road speed limit information, such as 60 / 80;

[0049] (7) Optional: The vehicle is equipped with a DMS system, which can recognize and memorize the driver's face and output different IDs based on different faces.

[0050] In step S101, the facial information of the current driver is identified. If the vehicle does not output the ID information of the current driver based on the facial information, the torque value of the current driver output by the steering wheel of the vehicle is collected when the vehicle meets the preset data collection conditions.

[0051] In step S102, the torque average value is calculated based on the torque value as a new hands-off alarm threshold, and a new takeover prompt threshold is determined based on the hands-off alarm threshold, and the new hands-off alarm threshold and the new takeover prompt threshold are used as hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver.

[0052] In step S103, after the vehicle is powered on again and the assisted driving function is turned on, if the ID information of the current driver is detected, a hands-off alarm is performed according to the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, a hands-off alarm is performed according to the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver, including: monitoring the current torque of the steering wheel according to a new hands-off alarm threshold and a new takeover prompt threshold; if the current torque is less than or equal to the new hands-off alarm threshold, a hands-off alarm reminder is performed, and when the current torque is greater than the new takeover prompt threshold, a takeover prompt is performed.

[0054] Specifically, when the precondition (7) is met, that is, the vehicle is equipped with a DMS system, the DMS system can recognize and memorize the driver's face and output different IDs based on different faces, such as Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent camera of the vehicle recognizes the facial information of the current driver. If the vehicle does not output the ID information of the current driver based on the facial information, the torque value of the current driver output by the steering wheel of the vehicle is collected when the vehicle meets the preset data collection conditions, wherein the preset data collection conditions include:

[0055] (1) The vehicle senses and recognizes that the vehicle is on an asphalt road or concrete road, or the road indicated by the vehicle navigation system is a highway or expressway.

[0056] (2) The vehicle senses and recognizes a speed limit sign of 60 or above on the road, or receives speed limit information output by the vehicle navigation system that the road speed limit is 60 or above;

[0057] (3) The yaw rate of the monitored vehicle is less than the preset yaw rate threshold (the vehicle is traveling in a straight line): YawRate<0.08deg / Sec (the preset yaw rate threshold can be calibrated);

[0058] (4) The EPS steering angle rate of the monitored vehicle is less than the preset rate threshold (EPS steering angle is in a steady state): EPS_StrngAgSpd<1deg / Sec (the preset rate threshold can be calibrated);

[0059] (5) The EPS steering angle of the monitored vehicle is less than the preset steering angle threshold: EPS_3_StrngWhlAg<10deg (the preset steering angle threshold can be calibrated)

[0060] (6) The torque value of the steering wheel output within 5 seconds is collected in multiple speed measurement sections, including 50-60 km / h, 70-80 km / h, and 90-100 km / h (developers in this field can adjust multiple speed measurement sections), 2 groups for each section, a total of 6 data, the absolute value of vehicle acceleration / deceleration is ≤1.5 m / s (adjustable), the radius of curvature of the perceived input lane line is >2000 m (adjustable), if a certain data period does not meet the requirements, then this data is re-timed and collected, as shown in Table 1.

[0061] Table 1

[0062] Group / vehicle speed km / h 50~60km / h 70~80km / h 90~100km / h 1 2

[0063] Furthermore, the system filters the collected 6 segments of data, calculates the torque average after removing the burrs, and obtains the average value as the new hands-off alarm threshold a. The new hands-off alarm threshold a+0.1 (adjustable) is used to obtain the new takeover prompt threshold b. The new hands-off alarm threshold a and the new takeover prompt threshold b are used as the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver.

[0064] When the system is powered on, the new hands-off alarm threshold a and the new takeover prompt threshold b are used as the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver, and are written into the corresponding location of the external calibration file for storage as defined. The entire process is completed in the system background and is not noticeable to the user.

[0065] After the smart camera is powered off and then powered on again, the system will collect the driver's habitual needs based on the memory of the last trigger. If the current driver's ID information can be obtained based on the recognized driver's facial information, the system will read the corresponding hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold of the current driver in the calibration file outside the main software, and perform hands-off alarm and takeover prompt. Specifically,

[0066] When the user turns on an assisted driving function, such as LCC or LSS, after the assisted driving function is activated, the vehicle monitors the steering wheel torque based on the new hands-off alarm threshold a to determine whether the driver has lost lateral control. If the current torque is less than or equal to the new hands-off alarm threshold, it is determined that the driver has lost lateral control and a hands-off alarm reminder is issued. When the current torque is greater than the new takeover prompt threshold, it is determined that the driver has taken over and a takeover prompt is issued.

[0067] Thereafter, during the use of the vehicle, the system repeatedly triggers the configuration parameter update strategy, and continuously and adaptively updates the hands-off alarm configuration parameters.

[0068] If precondition (7) is not met, that is, the vehicle is not equipped with a DMS system, e.g. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle reads the first set of configuration parameters a1 and b1 in the external calibration file by default for hands-off alarm, and subsequent updates of hands-off alarm thresholds and takeover prompt thresholds are all performed on the first set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters a1 and b1.

[0069] Optionally, in some embodiments, the adaptive update method of the above-mentioned hands-off alarm function also includes: obtaining facial information of a new driver; if the ID information of the new driver is output based on the facial information, calling the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the new driver according to the ID information to perform a hands-off alarm; if the ID information of the new driver is not output based on the facial information, storing the facial information of the new driver, and determining the hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold of the new driver when driving, and using the hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold of the new driver when driving as the latest set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters.

[0070] It can be understood that when the vehicle is powered on again, the facial information of the new driver is identified through the vehicle's intelligent camera. If the vehicle's DMS system can output the new driver's ID information based on the new driver's facial information, the vehicle will call the new driver's corresponding hands-off alarm configuration parameters according to the new driver's ID information to perform a hands-off alarm. If the new driver's ID information is not output in the vehicle's DMS system, the new driver's ID information will be stored in the DMS system, and when the new driver is driving the vehicle, the new driver's hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold while driving will be collected when the preset collection conditions are met, and the new driver's hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold while driving will be associated with the new driver's ID information, and the hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold will be written to the corresponding position of the external calibration file for storage as the latest set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters.

[0071] Further, in some embodiments, after the new driver's hands-off warning threshold and takeover prompt threshold when driving are used as the latest set of hands-off warning configuration parameters, it includes: determining whether the number of groups of hands-off warning configuration parameters is greater than the preset number of groups; if the number of groups of hands-off warning configuration parameters is greater than the preset number of groups, then cyclically overwriting the first set of hands-off warning configuration parameters with the latest set of hands-off warning configuration parameters.

[0072] It should be noted that during the development of the vehicle's assisted driving system, Figure 4 The architecture block diagram shown implements the modular design of the hands-off alarm function of the LCC / LSS system. The main software reserves configuration interfaces for the hands-off alarm threshold a and the takeover alarm threshold b. The calibration file (for example, in json format) is configured separately in an independent path outside the main software. The configuration interfaces of a and b are correspondingly associated in the calibration file. When developing the function, an initial value (for example, 0.2Nm, 0.25Nm) can be preset based on the characteristic parameters of EPS as the default values ​​of the hands-off alarm threshold a and the takeover alarm threshold b in the main software, respectively, to ensure that the hands-off alarm function can be used normally. Among them, the hands-off alarm threshold a and the takeover alarm threshold b reserved by the main software can permanently store three groups of hands-off alarm configuration parameters, namely a1-b1, a2-b2, and a3-b3. The three groups of hands-off alarm configuration parameters can be automatically associated and bound with the driver ID information output by the DMS.

[0073] Specifically, after the new driver's hands-off warning threshold and takeover prompt threshold while driving are used as the latest set of hands-off warning configuration parameters, if the number of groups of hands-off warning configuration parameters stored in the system is greater than the preset number of groups, the latest set of hands-off warning configuration parameters will be cyclically overwritten with the first set of hands-off warning configuration parameters.

[0074] For example, after the first driving user activates and logs in to the vehicle, the association and binding of the driver's ID information and the hands-off alarm threshold parameters are triggered. The vehicle configuration DMS system stores the facial information of the first driving user as ID1, and the vehicle saves the first set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters a1 and b1 associated with the first driving user ID1; if the second driver subsequently uses the vehicle, the vehicle stores the second driver's ID2 and associates the second set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters a2 and b2 corresponding to ID2, and so on, up to 3 sets of hands-off alarm configuration parameters are associated, and then a cyclic coverage is performed, that is, the information of ID4 and the associated hands-off alarm configuration parameters cover the information of ID1 and the associated hands-off alarm configuration parameters a1 and b1.

[0075] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned adaptive updating method of the hands-off warning function further includes: automatically updating the driver's hands-off warning configuration parameters according to a preset time period.

[0076] When a user uses the vehicle for the first time, activates and logs in to the vehicle computer, the vehicle receives the driver's ID information, and triggers the driver's habitual collection strategy. Except for the first collection, the collection trigger strategy in other situations of vehicle use is as follows:

[0077] When precondition (7) is met, the vehicle automatically triggers the driver habit collection strategy based on the new driver ID information output by the DMS system. Thereafter, if the driver ID is the same, the system automatically triggers the driver habit collection strategy according to a preset time period (12 months or 24 months) to update the driver's hands-off alarm configuration parameters.

[0078] When precondition (7) is not met, the vehicle automatically triggers the driver's habit collection strategy according to a preset time period (12 months or 24 months) and updates the first set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters in the external calibration file.

[0079] According to the adaptive update method of the hands-off alarm function proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the facial information of the current driver is identified. If the vehicle does not output the ID information of the current driver based on the facial information, the torque value of the current driver output by the steering wheel of the vehicle is collected under the premise that the vehicle meets the preset data collection conditions, and the torque average value is calculated based on the torque value as a new hands-off alarm threshold, and a new takeover prompt threshold is determined based on the hands-off alarm threshold. The new hands-off alarm threshold and the new takeover prompt threshold are used as the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver. After the vehicle is powered on again and the assisted driving function is turned on, if the ID information of the current driver is detected, a hands-off alarm is performed according to the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver. As a result, the problem of high false alarm and missed alarm rates of hands-off alarm reminders based on the fixed alarm threshold calibrated before the vehicle leaves the factory is solved. By omitting the calibration and debugging link of the hands-off alarm function threshold during the platform model development process, the software development workload and cycle of lateral control auxiliary driving functions are greatly reduced. The function parameters can be continuously updated during the life cycle of the car. The same model / the same car can adapt to the driving habits of different drivers. The function is used accurately, false alarms and missed alarms are reduced, the experience is better, and customer complaints and customer complaints are effectively reduced. The torque error of the vehicle steering wheel torque sensor after long-term use can be compensated by updating, the false alarms caused by vehicle wear and tear can be reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0080] Next, the adaptive updating device for the hands-off warning function proposed in the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0081] Figure 5 4 is a block diagram of an adaptive updating device for the hands-free alarm function according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, the adaptive updating device 10 of the hands-off alarm function includes: a collection module 100 , a first updating module 200 and an alarm module 300 .

[0083] Among them, the acquisition module 100 is used to identify the facial information of the current driver. If the vehicle does not output the ID information of the current driver based on the facial information, the torque value of the current driver output by the steering wheel of the vehicle is collected when the vehicle meets the preset data acquisition conditions; the first update module 200 is used to calculate the torque average value based on the torque value as a new hands-off alarm threshold, and determine a new takeover prompt threshold based on the hands-off alarm threshold, and use the new hands-off alarm threshold and the new takeover prompt threshold as the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver; the alarm module 300 is used to perform a hands-off alarm according to the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver if the ID information of the current driver is detected after the vehicle is powered on again and the assisted driving function is turned on.

[0084] Optionally, in some embodiments, the alarm module 300 is also used to: monitor the current torque of the steering wheel according to a new hands-off alarm threshold and a new takeover prompt threshold; if the current torque is less than or equal to the new hands-off alarm threshold, a hands-off alarm reminder is issued, and when the current torque is greater than the new takeover prompt threshold, a takeover prompt is issued.

[0085] Optionally, in some embodiments, the adaptive update device 10 of the hands-off alarm function mentioned above also includes: a recognition module, used to recognize the facial information of a new driver; a calling module, used to call the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the new driver according to the ID information to perform a hands-off alarm if the new driver's ID information is output based on the facial information; a second update module, used to store the new driver's facial information if the new driver's ID information is not output based on the facial information, and determine the hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold of the new driver when driving, and use the hands-off alarm threshold and takeover prompt threshold of the new driver when driving as the latest set of hands-off alarm configuration parameters.

[0086] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the new driver's hands-off warning threshold and takeover prompt threshold when driving are used as the latest set of hands-off warning configuration parameters, the first update module 200 is also used to: determine whether the number of groups of hands-off warning configuration parameters is greater than the preset number of groups; if the number of groups of hands-off warning configuration parameters is greater than the preset number of groups, then the latest set of hands-off warning configuration parameters will be cyclically overwritten with the first set of hands-off warning configuration parameters.

[0087] Optionally, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned adaptive updating device 10 for the hands-off warning function further includes: a third updating module, which is used to automatically update the driver's hands-off warning configuration parameters according to a preset time period.

[0088] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of the adaptive updating method of the hands-off alarm function is also applicable to the adaptive updating device of the hands-off alarm function of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0089] According to the adaptive update device of the hands-off alarm function proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the facial information of the current driver is identified. If the vehicle does not output the ID information of the current driver based on the facial information, the torque value of the current driver output by the steering wheel of the vehicle is collected under the premise that the vehicle meets the preset data collection conditions, and the torque average value is calculated based on the torque value as a new hands-off alarm threshold, and a new takeover prompt threshold is determined based on the hands-off alarm threshold. The new hands-off alarm threshold and the new takeover prompt threshold are used as the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver. After the vehicle is powered on again and the assisted driving function is turned on, if the ID information of the current driver is detected, a hands-off alarm is performed according to the hands-off alarm configuration parameters corresponding to the current driver. As a result, the problem of high false alarm and missed alarm rates of hands-off alarm reminders based on the fixed alarm threshold calibrated before the vehicle leaves the factory is solved. By omitting the calibration and debugging link of the hands-off alarm function threshold during the platform model development process, the software development workload and cycle of lateral control auxiliary driving functions are greatly reduced. The function parameters can be continuously updated during the life cycle of the car. The same model / the same car can adapt to the driving habits of different drivers. The function is used accurately, false alarms and missed alarms are reduced, the experience is better, and customer complaints and customer complaints are effectively reduced. The torque error of the vehicle steering wheel torque sensor after long-term use can be compensated by updating, the false alarms caused by vehicle wear and tear can be reduced, and the user experience is improved.
