Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a task execution method, device and vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Smart transportation refers to the use of modern electronic information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, automatic control, and mobile Internet in the field of transportation to realize a transportation service system. With the development of smart transportation, more and more new transportation tools (also known as transportation terminals, smart transportation terminals, smart driving terminals, or smart network terminals, such as smart networked cars, flying cars, aerospace vehicles, etc.) have emerged. Realizing end-to-end smart transportation will be a new choice and new form of future transportation. At present, by controlling the telescopic structure on a certain transportation terminal, the transportation terminal can be docked with another transportation terminal, and the transportation terminal can drag and pull another transportation terminal.

[0003] However, by controlling the telescopic structure on a transportation terminal to dock with another transportation terminal, only the user's task requirements for dragging and pulling the transportation terminal can be met, and other task requirements of the user (such as recharging, maintenance, team formation, etc.) cannot be met. Therefore, how to meet the user's multiple task requirements through docking between different transportation terminals has become an urgent problem to be solved.

However, this method can only achieve the docking of vehicles, and cannot meet the various task requirements of users through the docking of vehicles. Document CN114228410B discloses that a connecting rod folding unit is used to extend out of the docking unit cabin of the front of the vehicle, extend into the docking unit cabin of the rear of the vehicle and form a fixed connection with the induction locking unit, so that the front of the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle are connected. However, this method can only achieve the docking of vehicles, and cannot meet the various task requirements of users through the docking of vehicles. Summary of the invention

[0062] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0064] The intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional transportation tools (such as automobiles, aircraft, etc.) are accelerating, bringing new opportunities to the industry. In the field of aerospace, manual and automatic intersection and docking and real-time control have been realized, but in the automotive field, there are still few applications for intersection and docking and automatic docking, and most of the docking between vehicles is still based on physical connection (such as tow ropes, tow hooks, and trailer flatbeds). With the development of intelligent technology, new types of transportation tools are interconnected, and there are more and more connection methods and application scenarios. For example, at the hardware level, the docking between vehicles is achieved through electric tow hooks, automatic docking devices, etc.; at the software level, the docking between vehicles is achieved through vehicle-road network collaborative driving, follow-up assisted driving, etc.

[0065] In response to the increasingly diverse travel needs of mankind, a more intelligent, efficient, and full-scenario intersection and docking method combining software and hardware is needed to perform the various mission requirements of smart transportation terminals. For example, rescue (such as maintenance (also known as fault repair), towing, traction, etc.), range extension (such as energy replenishment, relay (also known as relay endurance), etc.), formation (queue, combination, etc.) and other mission requirements. With the change of transportation modes and the advancement of science and technology, the realization of end-to-end smart transportation will be a new choice and new form of future transportation.

[0066] Currently, the telescopic structure on a certain transportation terminal can be controlled to dock with another transportation terminal, so that the transportation terminal can drag or pull another transportation terminal. However, this method does not cover all scenarios, and only considers the scenarios of dragging and pulling, without considering the technical solutions for rescue, range extension, and convoy driving of intelligent transportation terminals.

[0067] The related technologies also provide a technical solution for the automatic docking of intelligent transportation terminals. However, automatic docking can only be performed when the target object (i.e., the transportation terminal) is static. The automatic intersection docking scenario is limited, and the automatic docking problem of dynamic targets is not solved. In addition, the technology means such as the Internet of Vehicles, cloud platform, and data platform are not used, and the end-to-end full-stack solution of intelligent driving and intelligent docking is not considered.

[0068] In view of the above problems, in order to achieve the following three typical traffic scene requirements: due to accidents or failures of intelligent transportation terminals, maintenance, towing or traction are required; due to insufficient endurance of intelligent transportation terminals, energy replenishment or relay endurance is required; due to improving traffic efficiency, safe driving, and sustainable automation systems, platoon driving, combined travel and other platoon driving requirements are required. This application proposes a task execution method, which uses technical means such as vehicle networking, cloud platform, big data, intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, vehicle control, automatic intersection and docking to realize the functions of intelligent connection, intelligent planning, intelligent identification, intelligent docking and separation (static, dynamic), and intelligent return of intelligent transportation terminals. Specifically, after the intelligent transportation terminal automatically intersects and docks, it can perform multiple tasks such as rescue, range extension, and formation of intelligent transportation terminals. Solve the problems of automatic intersection and docking, intelligent control and full-scene application of intelligent transportation terminals in static and dynamic conditions. It aims to improve the compatibility, safety and sustainability of intelligent driving terminals, further improve road traffic efficiency and data sharing, and form an integrated full-scene intelligent transportation pattern.

[0069] Rescue in this application means that when a smart transportation terminal fails during road driving (for example, sudden inability to start, inability to start after being turned off, no oil, no electricity, tire blowout, failure, accident, etc.), rescue information can be sent to the smart transportation hub or other smart transportation terminals. The smart transportation hub or other smart transportation terminals can automatically reach the location of the failed smart transportation terminal based on the received rescue information, and carry out emergency roadside repairs or roadside assistance, or perform automatic intersection docking to drag or tow the failed smart transportation terminal away from the scene until the entire rescue mission is completed.

[0070] The range extension in this application refers to the need for smart transportation terminals to carry out energy replenishment (such as charging, refueling, hydrogenation, etc.) or relay during road driving to increase or extend the driving distance of smart transportation terminals. The intelligent transportation hub or other smart transportation terminals can automatically reach the location of the terminal based on the received range extension information, perform automatic intersection and docking, and carry out energy replenishment or relay operations for the smart transportation terminals that need range extension until the entire range extension task is completed.

[0071] The formation in this application refers to the need for smart transportation terminals to queue up and travel in combination during road driving in order to maintain relative positions and travel in an orderly manner on the road. The intelligent transportation hub or other smart transportation terminals can automatically reach the terminal location based on the received formation information, and execute queue driving or automatic intersection and docking combined driving by other nearby or selected smart transportation terminals. The front smart transportation terminal in the formation acts as the locomotive, and other smart transportation terminals automatically follow and achieve almost synchronous acceleration, deceleration, steering and braking of the formation until the entire formation mission is completed.

[0072] For ease of understanding, the task execution method provided by this application is specifically introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The vehicle cloud platform and data platform 11 can also analyze the massive data collected by the traffic terminal 13 (for example, the vehicle's operating parameters and demand information), continuously optimize the intelligent driving and automatic intersection docking algorithms, and all terminals perform continuous iterative optimization of software through Over-the-Air-Technology (OTA).

[0076] The vehicle cloud platform is used to provide cloud services for the transportation terminal 13.

It is a comprehensive hub based on intelligent transportation that integrates stations, fields, and cities, and is digitalized and intelligent. The intelligent transportation hub 12 can provide functions such as station-city linkage, traffic control, one-code access, smart parking, intelligent energy replenishment, energy-saving control, maintenance and repair, and smart services. Among them, smart services include inter-trip navigation, intelligent allocation, smart energy management, smart intersection docking, and emergency management of transportation terminals 13. Use digital means to improve the efficiency of hub distribution and provide more accurate and efficient services.

It can realize the interconnection of transportation terminals 13, parking stations, energy replenishment facilities, property management, public safety fire protection, meteorology and other systems, and support the normal operation of transportation terminals 13 in all-weather, complex traffic and usage scenarios. When a transportation terminal 13 issues a docking request, the intelligent transportation hub 12 will carry out real-time planning, scheduling, and flow control of the transportation terminal 13 through the Internet, the vehicle cloud platform and the data platform 11. At the same time, the station and energy resources are used to provide parking, energy replenishment, maintenance and other services for the transportation terminal 13.

[0084] The intelligent cockpit control module mainly includes the in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), head-up display (HUD), air conditioning system control, driving assistance system, in-car connection system, display screen and other systems. The intelligent cockpit control module can also integrate more intelligent functions (such as driver monitoring system (DMS), electronic exterior rearview mirror (CMS), smart projection headlights, PTZ camera, etc.), making the functions and user experience of the intelligent driving terminal more and more abundant. The intelligent driving terminal provides powerful functions for the traffic terminal 13, including infotainment functions (such as music, navigation, radio, applications (Application, APP), etc.), (Human Machine Interface, HMI) interaction functions (such as touch, voice, vision, gesture control, remote control, etc.), display functions (such as instruments, large screens, HUD, etc.), air conditioning control (such as temperature, wind speed, air quality, temperature zones, etc.), driving assistance functions (such as parking assistance, driving assistance, etc.), connection functions (such as Bluetooth, wireless hotspots (Wireless Fidelity, wifi), in-vehicle system CarPlay, in-vehicle system HiCar, Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus) USB, wireless charging, etc.), etc.

[0085] The intelligent driving control module is mainly composed of sensors, control units, actuators, decision systems, and communication systems. Among them, sensors (such as millimeter wave radar, light laser detection and ranging (LIDAR), ultrasonic radar, and cameras, etc.) are used to sense the surrounding environment, identify objects, and predict road conditions, and collect environmental information around the traffic terminal 13. This environmental information is sent to the intelligent driving control module for further processing and analysis.

[0086] The control unit is the core of the traffic terminal 13, which is used to receive and process the information provided by the sensor, and then make corresponding decisions based on this information. The control unit analyzes the sensor data through algorithms and software, and decides on the driving path and behavior. When the car cloud platform and the data platform 11 receive the docking demand signal (also known as request information), they analyze and identify the demand, match the traffic terminal 13 that meets the demand, and provide the specific location information (such as positioning, coordinates, etc.) of the traffic terminal 13 that issued the docking demand signal. According to the navigation path, the matching traffic terminal 13 can reach the target location. At the same time, cooperate with other control modules and docking actuators to complete automatic intersection docking operations and intelligent driving tasks.

[0087] The actuator is an actuator in the traffic terminal 13. When the intelligent driving control module receives an execution signal, the actuator is responsible for executing the instructions of the control unit, such as acceleration, deceleration, steering, etc. The actuator usually includes hydraulic, electric and mechanical systems, such as electric motors and brakes, etc., and will cooperate with other execution modules to adjust the vehicle's actions according to the instructions of the control unit.

[0088] The decision-making system is used to make accurate decisions in complex traffic environments to ensure the safety and efficiency of the traffic terminal 13. The decision-making system makes decisions based on the information provided by the sensors on the traffic terminal 13, combined with the current state and target location, through complex algorithms.

[0089] The communication system is used to establish real-time communication between traffic terminals 13 or between traffic terminals 13, between cloud platforms or data platforms, or between infrastructure such as roads, and can realize vehicle to everything (V2X). This information can be used for intelligent scheduling and traffic control of intelligent traffic hubs 12, intelligent traffic units, and traffic terminals 13, and monitor and analyze potential risks in real time and provide intelligent services to ensure safe and efficient operation of traffic.

[0090] The vehicle cloud platform and data platform 11 are used to determine the task execution interface corresponding to the task requested by the first traffic terminal, and when the second traffic terminal is connected to the first traffic terminal through the task execution interface, the intelligent traffic hub 12 controls the second traffic terminal to execute the task based on the task execution interface.

[0091] The vehicle cloud platform and data platform 11 may be a distributed computing platform composed of hardware, software and services. The intelligent transportation hub 12 may be an intelligent control device connected to the vehicle cloud platform and data platform 11 and the transportation terminal 13. The transportation terminal 13 may be a transportation tool such as an intelligent networked car, a flying car, or an aerospace vehicle.

[0092] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a task execution method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, applied to the intelligent transportation hub, the task execution method includes steps S201-S202:

[0093] S201: Determine a task execution interface corresponding to a task requested by a first transportation terminal.

[0094] Optionally, the transportation terminal can be a means of transportation such as a vehicle. If a transportation terminal (i.e., the first transportation terminal) fails during driving (for example, insufficient fuel or power and unable to drive, a traffic accident causing the vehicle to be damaged and unable to drive, etc.) or the user has other needs during driving the transportation terminal (for example, worrying that the vehicle’s fuel or power is insufficient to maintain the vehicle’s driving to the destination, etc.). The first transportation terminal can report various parameter information of the vehicle (such as fuel information, power information, speed, average fuel consumption, engine speed, throttle opening, etc.) to the vehicle cloud platform and the data platform through the communication system of the intelligent driving control module, or directly report the requested task (such as a charging task, a refueling task, or a moving task). The vehicle cloud platform and the data platform forward the various parameter information to the intelligent transportation hub corresponding to the first transportation terminal, and directly report the requested task.

[0095] Then, the intelligent transportation hub can receive the various parameter information of the vehicle reported by the first transportation terminal, and analyze the various parameter information of the vehicle to obtain the task requested by the first transportation terminal. Alternatively, the intelligent transportation hub can receive the requested task reported by the first transportation terminal. Furthermore, the intelligent transportation hub can determine the task execution interface corresponding to the task requested by the first transportation terminal. For example, the task execution interface can be a high-voltage electrical interface, a pipeline connection interface, a low-voltage electrical interface, or a mobile control structure (also referred to as a mechanical traction and lifting interface). When the requested tasks are different, the task execution interface for executing the tasks is also different.

[0096] For example, when the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a rescue task, it is generally a static rescue operation. It can be connected using the task execution interface of the low-voltage electrical interface and the mechanical traction and lifting interface, and cooperate with other execution modules of the transportation terminal to carry out automatic intersection and docking to perform rescue tasks such as fault handling, towing, and traction.

[0097] When the task requested by the first transportation terminal is an extended-range task, in static or dynamic situations, low-voltage electrical interfaces and high-voltage electrical interfaces, pipeline connection interfaces, and mechanical traction and lifting interfaces can be used for docking, and cooperate with other execution modules of the transportation terminal to carry out automatic intersection and docking to perform extended-range tasks such as energy replenishment and relay endurance.

[0098] When the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a formation task, a mechanical traction and lifting interface can be used, using the resources of the vehicle cloud platform and the data platform, combined with the intelligent driving control module of the transportation terminal and other execution modules to cooperate with each other, relying on the intelligent driving capabilities of the transportation terminal, to carry out automatic intersection and docking, and realize formation tasks such as queues and combined driving. When the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a charging task, the task execution interface corresponding to the charging task is a high-voltage electrical interface, or a high-voltage electrical interface and a low-voltage electrical interface.

[0099] It should be noted that the task execution interface can be set as a standard interface to achieve mutual compatibility and matching between different transportation terminals.

[0100] In a possible implementation, when the task is a charging type energy replenishment task, the task execution interface includes a high-voltage electrical interface; the high-voltage electrical interface is used to transmit high voltage electricity to the first transportation terminal.

[0101] Optionally, charging-type energy replenishment tasks may include charging tasks and relay endurance tasks. The high-voltage electrical interface includes signal channels such as charging, wake-up, communication, insulation detection, as well as high-voltage cables, terminal sheaths, protective devices and other devices. When the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a charging-type energy replenishment task, the intelligent transportation hub can control the power control module of the second transportation terminal to control the high-voltage electrical interface of the second transportation terminal to connect with the high-voltage electrical interface of the first transportation terminal, and then control the second transportation terminal to charge the power battery of the first transportation terminal through the high-voltage electrical interface, so as to achieve the purpose of charging.

[0102] When the task is a charging type energy replenishment task, this application can charge the transportation terminal by connecting to a high-voltage electrical interface that can be used for charging, thereby meeting the charging needs of the transportation terminal and improving the user experience.

[0103] In a possible implementation, the high-voltage electrical interface of the transportation terminal can also be connected to a bidirectional intelligent charger to feed energy back to the power grid. In this way, the energy storage device (such as a power battery system) of the intelligent transportation terminal can be used as a buffer for the power grid to provide auxiliary services for the power grid (such as peak load regulation, reactive power compensation, etc.), which can increase the stability and reliability of the power grid, reduce the operating cost of the power system, solve the problems of low power grid efficiency and fluctuations in renewable energy, and realize the function of smart grid.

[0104] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a bidirectional intelligent charger can be installed between the power grid and the intelligent transportation terminal. The power grid is also connected to the power load. This bidirectional intelligent charger has the function of charging the battery of the electric vehicle, while generating the minimum current harmonics, and also has the ability to feed back energy to the power grid according to the regulation. The bidirectional intelligent charger can be installed in the intelligent transportation hub or unit. And it is gathered together with the transportation terminals in a certain area, and the energy of the transportation terminals in this area is uniformly dispatched according to the needs of the power grid, and the charging and discharging process of each transportation terminal is controlled by a specific management strategy. In this way, unified dispatching and centralized management are carried out, and the optimal charging and discharging strategy of each transportation terminal can be calculated through advanced algorithms, which can achieve the lowest cost and optimal use of electricity.

[0105] In a possible implementation, when the task is a non-charging type energy replenishment task, the task execution interface includes a pipeline connection interface; the pipeline connection interface is used to transport fluid substances to the first transportation terminal.

[0106] Optionally, non-charging type energy replenishment tasks may be tasks that require the delivery of fluid materials to transportation terminals, such as refueling tasks, hydrogenation tasks, and coolant addition tasks. The pipeline connection interface may include devices such as oil pipes, coolant pipes, refrigerant pipes, gas pipes, and hydraulic pipes. Among them, the oil pipe can be used to transport gasoline, diesel, lubricating oil, brake oil, etc., the coolant pipe can be used to transport coolant, the refrigerant pipe can be used to transport refrigerant, the gas pipe can be used to transport hydrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other gases, and the hydraulic pipe can be used to transport hydraulic oil, etc.

[0107] For example, when the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a non-charging type of energy replenishment task, the intelligent transportation hub can control the power control module of the second transportation terminal to control the pipeline connection interface of the second transportation terminal to connect with the pipeline connection interface of the first transportation terminal, and then control the second transportation terminal to replenish energy for the first transportation terminal through the pipeline connection interface, so as to achieve the purpose of adding liquid, gas, etc.

[0108] When the task is a non-charging type of energy replenishment task, the present application can deliver supplementary fluid materials to the transportation terminal by docking with a pipeline connection interface that can be used to transport fluid materials. That is, the non-charging type of energy replenishment task can be a task of replenishing fluid materials such as gasoline, hydrogen, coolant, etc., thereby meeting the needs of the transportation terminal for these fluid materials and improving the user experience.

[0109] In a possible implementation, the task execution interface also includes a low-voltage electrical interface; the low-voltage electrical interface is used to transmit control signals related to the energy replenishment task and transmit low-voltage electricity to the first transportation terminal.

[0110] Optionally, the low-voltage electrical interface includes signal channels such as power supply, communication, and diagnosis, and can perform CAN / CANFD, LIN, ETH connection, communication, fault diagnosis, etc. with the transportation terminal to achieve low-voltage electrical connection and detection of the transportation terminal.

[0111] When the task requested by the first traffic terminal is a charging task, the intelligent traffic hub can control the power control module of the second traffic terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to dock with the low-voltage electrical interface of the first traffic terminal, and control the high-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to dock with the high-voltage electrical interface of the first traffic terminal, thereby controlling the second traffic terminal to charge the power battery of the first traffic terminal through the pipeline connection interface. During the charging process, the second traffic terminal is controlled to receive the remaining power of the power battery sent by the first traffic terminal through the low-voltage electrical interface. When the remaining power is the required power (for example, 100%), the intelligent traffic hub can control the high-voltage electrical interface and the low-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to automatically disconnect from the first traffic terminal by controlling the power control module of the second traffic terminal.

[0112] Optionally, the task execution interface may also include a mechanical traction and lifting interface. When the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a relay endurance task, the intelligent transportation hub can control the power control module of the second transportation terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second transportation terminal to dock with the low-voltage electrical interface of the first transportation terminal, control the high-voltage electrical interface of the second transportation terminal to dock with the high-voltage electrical interface of the first transportation terminal, and control the mechanical traction and lifting interface of the second transportation terminal to dock with the mechanical traction and lifting interface of the first transportation terminal, thereby controlling the second transportation terminal to charge the power battery of the first transportation terminal through the pipeline connection interface. During the charging process, the second transportation terminal is controlled to receive the remaining power of the power battery sent by the first transportation terminal through the low-voltage electrical interface.

[0113] When the remaining power is the required power (e.g. 100%), if the remaining power of the power battery of the second transportation terminal is greater than the preset value (e.g. 30%), the second transportation terminal is controlled to tow and drag the first transportation terminal through the mechanical traction and lifting interface until the remaining power of the power battery of the second transportation terminal is less than or equal to the preset value, then the intelligent transportation hub can control the high-voltage electrical interface, low-voltage electrical interface and mechanical traction and lifting interface of the second transportation terminal to automatically detach from the first transportation terminal by controlling the power control module of the second transportation terminal. In this way, the purpose of charging and relaying endurance is achieved.

[0114] Optionally, when the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a refueling task, the intelligent transportation hub can control the power control module of the second transportation terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second transportation terminal to dock with the low-voltage electrical interface of the first transportation terminal, and control the pipeline connection interface of the second transportation terminal to dock with the pipeline connection interface of the first transportation terminal, thereby controlling the second transportation terminal to refuel the first transportation terminal through the pipeline connection interface. And during the refueling process, the second transportation terminal is controlled to receive the remaining oil sent by the first transportation terminal through the low-voltage electrical interface. When the remaining oil is the required oil (for example, 100%), the intelligent transportation hub can control the pipeline connection interface and the low-voltage electrical interface of the second transportation terminal to automatically detach from the first transportation terminal by controlling the power control module of the second transportation terminal.

[0115] It should be noted that the first transportation terminal may be charged, refueled or other energy replenishment tasks when the first transportation terminal is in a moving state or a stationary state.

[0116] When executing the energy replenishment task, the present application can also transmit control signals related to the energy replenishment task through the low-voltage electrical interface to meet other needs of the user and improve the energy replenishment effect.

[0117] In a possible implementation, when the task is a fault handling task, the task execution interface is a low-voltage electrical interface; the low-voltage electrical interface is used to perform fault detection and / or fault repair on the first transportation terminal.

[0118] Optionally, the fault handling task may include a fault detection task and a fault repair task.

[0119] Exemplarily, when the task requested by the first traffic terminal is fault detection, the intelligent traffic hub can control the power control module of the second traffic terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to connect with the low-voltage electrical interface of the first traffic terminal, and then control the second traffic terminal to send a diagnostic signal to the first traffic terminal through the low-voltage electrical interface, and receive the diagnostic result returned by the first traffic terminal until the fault diagnosis is completed. The intelligent traffic hub can control the power control module of the second traffic terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to automatically disconnect from the first traffic terminal, thereby realizing the detection of the fault.

[0120] When the task requested by the first traffic terminal is fault repair, the intelligent traffic hub can control the power control module of the second traffic terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to connect with the low-voltage electrical interface of the first traffic terminal, and then control the second traffic terminal to send a fault repair instruction (such as an instruction to control the restart of the first traffic terminal) to the first traffic terminal through the low-voltage electrical interface. Until the fault repair is completed, the intelligent traffic hub can control the power control module of the second traffic terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal to automatically disconnect from the first traffic terminal.

[0121] Optionally, when the task is a fault handling task, according to the specific task requirements of the first transportation terminal, the low-voltage electrical interface can be combined with other interfaces (such as high-voltage electrical interface, pipeline connection interface, mechanical traction and lifting interface) or used in conjunction to achieve the purpose of maintenance.

[0122] During the process of executing the fault handling task at the second traffic terminal, the intelligent traffic hub can turn on the double flashes of the first traffic terminal by controlling the body control module of the second traffic terminal according to the task type (for example, the task is a fault repair task) and specific needs (for example, the double flashes need to be turned on during fault repair) until the fault handling task is completed, thereby repairing the fault.

[0123] When the task is a fault handling task, the present application can perform fault detection and / or fault repair on the traffic terminal through a low-voltage electrical interface that can be used for fault detection and fault repair, thereby meeting the needs of fault detection and fault repair on the traffic terminal and improving the user experience.

[0124] In a possible implementation, when the task is a moving task, the task execution interface is a moving control structure (also referred to as a mechanical traction and lifting interface); the moving control structure is used to control the first transportation terminal to move in different directions.

[0125] Optionally, the moving task may include lifting tasks, traction tasks, dragging tasks, etc. The mechanical traction lifting interface includes automatic telescopic structure, dragging structure, self-positioning structure, self-fastening structure, floating connection structure, automatic lifting and other devices. The mechanical traction lifting interface is used to realize the lifting, traction, dragging, etc. of the transportation terminal.

[0126] For example, when the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a traction task, the intelligent transportation hub can control the power control module of the second transportation terminal to control the low-voltage electrical interface of the second transportation terminal to connect with the mechanical traction and lifting interface of the first transportation terminal, and then control the second transportation terminal to tow the first transportation terminal through the automatic telescopic structure of the mechanical traction and lifting interface until the first transportation terminal is towed to the target location.

[0127] When the task is a mobile task, the present application can control the transportation terminal to move in different directions through the mobile control structure, thereby meeting the demand for movement of the transportation terminal and improving the user experience.

[0128] In a possible implementation, the mobile task can also be a contactless synchronous mobile task. When the task is a contactless synchronous mobile task, it is not necessary to execute the task through the docking of the task execution interface, but to realize the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) information exchange through the network connection. Specifically, the first traffic terminal, the second traffic terminal or other traffic terminals can be interconnected in real time through the vehicle cloud platform, the intelligent traffic hub or the traffic terminals, and control multiple traffic terminals to form a team as needed, and move in the same direction or different directions at the same time, thereby improving traffic efficiency.

[0129] S202: When the second transportation terminal is connected to the first transportation terminal through the task execution interface, control the second transportation terminal to execute the task based on the task execution interface.

[0130] Optionally, the second transportation terminal is a transportation terminal that executes the task requested by the first transportation terminal. The second transportation terminal can be connected to the first transportation terminal through a task execution interface, and the task execution interface on the second transportation terminal can be connected to the corresponding task execution interface on the first transportation terminal. For example, the high-voltage electrical interface on the second transportation terminal is connected to the high-voltage electrical interface on the first transportation terminal, or the mechanical traction and lifting interface on the second transportation terminal is connected to the mechanical traction and lifting interface on the first transportation terminal.

[0131] When the second transportation terminal is connected to the first transportation terminal through the task execution interface, the intelligent transportation hub can control the second transportation terminal to execute the task based on the task execution interface by controlling the power control module of the second transportation terminal. For example, the intelligent transportation hub can control the second transportation terminal to charge the first transportation terminal based on the high-voltage electrical interface by controlling the power control module of the second transportation terminal to execute the charging task.

[0132] In one example, the high-voltage electrical interface, pipeline connection interface, low-voltage electrical interface and mechanical traction and lifting interface on the transportation terminal can be located on the automatic intersection and docking module of the transportation terminal. Figure 4 As shown, the automatic intersection and docking module of the first transportation terminal includes a high-voltage electrical interface, a pipeline connection interface, a low-voltage electrical interface, and a mechanical traction and lifting interface, and the automatic intersection and docking module of the second transportation terminal includes a high-voltage electrical interface, a pipeline connection interface, a low-voltage electrical interface, and a mechanical traction and lifting interface. Depending on the tasks to be performed, the automatic intersection and docking module can realize the overall automatic intersection and docking, each interface can also perform automatic intersection and docking individually or in any combination, and each channel or device can also work individually or in any combination.

[0133] The directions of intersection and docking of different transportation terminals can be freely set according to the location or needs of the transportation terminal. Multiple automatic intersection and docking modules can be set on a transportation terminal, and the automatic intersection and docking modules in the front, back, left, right, up and down directions can be arbitrarily set according to the appearance structure and size of the transportation terminal. Figure 5 As shown, an automatic intersection and docking module A can be set in front of the second transportation terminal, an automatic intersection and docking module B can be set behind the second transportation terminal, an automatic intersection and docking module C can be set on the left side of the second transportation terminal, an automatic intersection and docking module D can be set on the right side of the second transportation terminal, an automatic intersection and docking module E can be set above the second transportation terminal, and an automatic intersection and docking module F can be set below the second transportation terminal.

[0134] It should be noted that when the first transportation terminal has multiple demands at the same time, the task requested by the first transportation terminal may include multiple tasks at the same time. For example, the task requested by the first transportation terminal may include a fault handling task, a power replenishment task, and a mobility task at the same time.

[0135] The present application can determine the task execution interface corresponding to the task requested by the first transportation terminal. Furthermore, when the second transportation terminal is connected to the first transportation terminal through the task execution interface, the second transportation terminal is controlled to execute the task based on the task execution interface. That is, if the tasks requested by the transportation terminals are different, the task execution interfaces used to execute the tasks are also different. Therefore, the task execution interfaces corresponding to the tasks on different transportation terminals can be connected to execute the corresponding tasks and meet the user's various task requirements. This solves the technical problem that it is impossible to meet the user's various task requirements through the connection between different transportation terminals.

[0136] Figure 6 is a flowchart of another task execution method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, before the above step S201, the method further includes S301-S302:

[0137] S301. Receive request information sent by a first transportation terminal.

[0138] The request information includes at least one of the following: operating parameters and requirement information.

[0139] S302: Determine the task requested by the first transportation terminal based on the request information.

[0140] Optionally, when the first transportation terminal fails during driving and cannot drive, the first transportation terminal can report the vehicle's operating parameters and demand information to the vehicle cloud platform and the data platform through the vehicle network communication module. The vehicle cloud platform and the data platform can forward the vehicle's operating parameters and demand information to the intelligent transportation hub. Furthermore, the intelligent transportation hub can determine the task requested by the first transportation terminal based on the vehicle's operating parameters and demand information. The operating parameters may include parameters such as fuel quantity information, power information, speed, average fuel consumption, engine speed, throttle opening, etc. The demand information may include requirements such as driving to a preset location at a preset time point.

[0141] For example, assuming that the throttle opening of the first traffic terminal is not 0 and the speed of the first traffic terminal is 0, it can be determined that the braking of the first traffic terminal has failed. In this case, the first traffic terminal needs to be towed, and the task requested by the first traffic terminal is a towing task.

[0142] Assuming that the power level of the first transportation terminal is lower than the preset power level (e.g. 5%), the task requested by the first transportation terminal is a charging task. And the demand information is that the vehicle needs to drive to the preset location at 10 o'clock. The intelligent transportation hub calculates that after the first transportation terminal is fully charged, it is impossible for the first transportation terminal to drive to the preset location at 10 o'clock, so the task requested by the first transportation terminal is battery life relay.

[0143] The present application can determine the tasks requested by the transportation terminal by analyzing the operating parameters and demand information sent by the transportation terminal, so as to accurately know the tasks that the transportation terminal needs to request and execute the tasks requested by the transportation terminal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0144] Figure 7 is a flowchart of another task execution method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, before the above step S202 and after the above step S302, the method further includes S401:

[0145] S401: Determine a transportation terminal that is allowed to perform a task in an area where a first transportation terminal is located as a second transportation terminal.

[0146] Optionally, the intelligent transportation hub can obtain the transportation terminals that are allowed to perform tasks among all transportation terminals in the area where the first transportation terminal is located based on the location (e.g., positioning and coordinates) of the first transportation terminal, and based on the locations of all transportation terminals that are allowed to perform tasks, determine the transportation terminal that is closest to the first transportation terminal among all transportation terminals that are allowed to perform tasks as the second transportation terminal.

[0147] The present application can match a transportation terminal that can perform the task and is closest to the transportation terminal that requests the task for the transportation terminal that requests the task, so as to facilitate subsequent control of the transportation terminal that performs the task to travel to the transportation terminal that requests the task, so as to quickly perform the task, thereby improving the efficiency of performing the task.

[0148] Figure 8 is a flowchart of another task execution method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, before the above step S202 and after the above step S401, the method further includes S501:

[0149] S501. Send a docking instruction to the second transportation terminal.

[0150] Among them, the docking instruction includes the location of the first transportation terminal; the docking instruction is used to instruct the second transportation terminal to travel to the target location based on the location of the first transportation terminal; the target location is a location whose distance from the location of the first transportation terminal is less than a preset distance.

[0151] Optionally, the intelligent transportation hub can send a docking instruction to the second transportation terminal. Further, the second transportation terminal can receive the docking instruction through the vehicle network communication module, and the second transportation terminal can travel to the target location according to the location of the first transportation terminal and the navigation route planning.

[0152] The present application can control the transportation terminal executing the task to travel to the transportation terminal requesting the task according to the location of the transportation terminal requesting the task, so as to execute the task, thereby improving the efficiency of executing the task.

[0153] Fig. 9 is a flowchart of another task execution method according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. 9 As shown, before the above step S202 and after the above step S501, the method further includes S601-S602:

[0154] S601: When a second transportation terminal scans a task execution interface on a first transportation terminal, the second transportation terminal collects the relative position of the task execution interface on the second transportation terminal and the task execution interface on the first transportation terminal.

[0155] Optionally, when the sensor on the second traffic terminal scans the task execution interface on the first traffic terminal, the relative position of the task execution interface on the second traffic terminal and the task execution interface on the first traffic terminal is collected by the sensor on the second traffic terminal. The sensor may be a millimeter wave radar, a laser radar, an ultrasonic radar, a camera, etc.

[0156] For example, when the task execution interface is a high-voltage electrical interface, the relative position of the high-voltage electrical interface on the second traffic terminal and the high-voltage electrical interface on the first traffic terminal can be that the high-voltage electrical interface on the second traffic terminal is located 10 cm to the left and 10 cm in front of the high-voltage electrical interface on the first traffic terminal.

[0157] S602: Based on the relative position, control the task execution interface on the second transportation terminal to connect with the task execution interface on the first transportation terminal.

[0158] Optionally, based on the relative position, the intelligent traffic hub can determine whether it is necessary to control the movement of the second traffic terminal by controlling the decision system of the intelligent driving control module of the second traffic terminal, so that the task execution interface on the high-voltage electrical interface on the second traffic terminal is connected to the task execution interface on the first traffic terminal. If it is determined that the movement of the second traffic terminal needs to be controlled, based on the relative position, the intelligent traffic hub can control the task execution interface on the second traffic terminal to connect with the task execution interface on the first traffic terminal by controlling the power control module of the second traffic terminal. If it is determined that the movement of the second traffic terminal does not need to be controlled, the task execution interface on the second traffic terminal is directly controlled to connect with the task execution interface on the first traffic terminal by controlling the power control module of the second traffic terminal.

[0159] For example, when the relative position is that the high-voltage electrical interface on the second traffic terminal is located 10 cm to the left and 10 cm in front of the high-voltage electrical interface on the first traffic terminal, the intelligent traffic hub can control the power control module of the second traffic terminal to control the second traffic terminal to move 10 cm to the left and then 10 cm forward, or the controlled high-voltage electrical interface of the second traffic terminal can move 10 cm to the left and then 10 cm forward, so that the high-voltage electrical interface on the second traffic terminal is connected to the high-voltage electrical interface on the first traffic terminal.

[0160] This application can realize automatic docking of task execution interfaces on different transportation terminals by identifying the relative positions of task execution interfaces on different transportation terminals, thereby improving the efficiency of task execution interface docking.

[0161] In one possible embodiment, Fig.10 is a schematic diagram of a process flow of automatic intersection and docking of a transportation terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig.10 As shown, the method includes:

[0162] S1. When the docking object (i.e., the first traffic terminal in this application) sends a docking demand signal (i.e., the request information in this application) through the network, cloud platform and data platform, the intelligent traffic hub can receive the docking demand signal, determine the specific requirements of the intersection docking (i.e., the requested task in this application) and the interface corresponding to the specific requirements of the intersection docking (i.e., the task execution interface in this application).

[0163] S2, based on the specific needs of intersection and docking, the intelligent transportation hub matches the nearest transportation terminal and determines the transportation terminal participating in the docking (ie, the second transportation terminal in this application).

[0164] S3, when the transportation terminal participating in the docking receives the docking instruction, it drives to the target location according to the provided positioning and coordinates of the docking object and the navigation route planning.

[0165] S4, determining the coordinates of the interface of the docking object based on the sensor of the transportation terminal involved in the docking.

[0166] S5, based on the coordinates of the interface of the docking object, the interface of the transportation terminal participating in the docking is docked with the interface of the docking object.

[0167] S6, after the docking object and the participating transportation terminal are successfully docked, the participating transportation terminal is controlled to perform rescue, range extension, formation and other tasks.

[0168] S7, after the task is completed, the interface of the transportation terminal participating in the docking and the interface of the docking object are separated.

[0169] S8, the transportation terminals participating in the docking select the nearest smart transportation hub according to their own positioning and coordinates, independently plan the return route, and return to the smart transportation hub to wait according to the return route.

[0170] The above mainly introduces the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application from the perspective of the method. In order to achieve the above functions, the task execution device or electronic device includes a hardware structure and / or software module corresponding to the execution of each function. Those skilled in the art should easily realize that, in combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example described in the embodiments disclosed herein, the present application can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.
