Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the application field of high-precision maps, and in particular to an ODD range delineation method, device and storage medium based on geological disaster meteorological warning information. Background Art

[0002] At present, high-precision maps can provide super-sensing distance and surrounding information, including road information such as road networks and lane networks, as well as road details and infrastructure information related to lanes, such as traffic signs, traffic lights, and especially lane restriction information. Through this information, data is provided for high-level driving assistance, and combined with the vehicle navigation system, guidance is provided for the vehicle to complete planning and control. Operational Design Domain (ODD) refers to the conditions and scope of application under which the autonomous driving system is designed to work, including vehicle speed, traffic conditions, road type, weather, environment, etc. Among them, the autonomous driving range of ODD can be made according to certain rules based on the relevant attributes of the high-precision map.

[0003] Based on the ability to apply high-precision map data, each car manufacturer currently completes L3 level autonomous driving within a limited range by making an ODD range. According to how to define the ODD range according to the principle, those skilled in the art will conduct relevant research. For example, CN114407915A, the "Processing method, device and storage medium of the operational design domain ODD" that has entered the substantive examination, associates road information with dynamic event information, and then generates an ODD dynamic layer based on the road information, and proposes that the dynamic event information includes the type of dynamic event, the location of the dynamic event, the scale of the dynamic event and one, multiple or a combination of weather conditions. However, this method only points out the type of dynamic event, and realizes the judgment of dynamic events based on the vehicle status (such as the wiper status, the heat of the wiper blade), and does not divide the ODD range based on external dynamic data, such as geological disaster meteorological warning information, to divide the ODD range according to real-time road conditions. Therefore, how to combine non-human-caused dynamic events such as geological disaster meteorological warning information, such as heavy rain, collapse, mudslide, ice and snow weather, etc., which lead to the range of inability to automatically drive, and further improve the stability and safety of driving. On this basis, the present invention aims to propose an ODD range delineation method based on geological disaster meteorological warning information. Summary of the invention

[0028] 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.

[0029] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention. 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.

[0030] Example 1, see Figure 1 As shown, a method for defining an ODD range based on meteorological disaster warning information comprises the following steps:

[0031] S1, obtaining geological disaster meteorological warning information and storing it in the cloud. The geological disaster meteorological warning information includes high temperature, rainfall, freezing rain and snow, hail, typhoon, sandstorm, landslide, mud-rock flow, ground collapse, and ground fissure.

[0032] The meteorological risk warning of geological disasters is based on the main controlling factors of geological disasters (stratum lithology, geological structure, topography, rock and soil type, etc.) and the triggering factors (rainfall, earthquake, ice and snow melting, human activities) through model calculation. The controlling factors are the basic conditions, and the triggering factors tend to show great differences in different regions or in the same region at the same time and in different sections. The geological disaster warning levels are shown in Table 1:

[0033] Table 1 Geological disaster meteorological warning levels

[0034]

[0035] According to the location geocoding in the acquired geological disaster meteorological warning information, it is located at the road level, linked to the high-precision map road-level information, and the geological disaster meteorological warning information is stored in the cloud.

[0036] First, the meteorological and disaster information of geological disaster meteorological warning information needs to be classified. Meteorological warning information is classified into high temperature, rainfall, freezing rain and snow, hail, typhoon, and sandstorm, and the non-ODD range should be calculated according to the warning level. Warnings for geological disaster risks such as landslides, mudslides, freezing rain and snow, and hail are mainly induced by meteorological conditions. Therefore, attention should be paid to the weather conditions of the travel route, especially rainfall data, and the levels should be divided according to the rainfall flow, that is, for rainfall that occurs frequently and serves as an inducing factor, the calculation logic should be started according to the rainfall level.

[0037] For collapse, the rock loses stability due to root emptiness, fracture, crushing or local slippage, and the pre-disaster signs are block falling and frequent small collapses. In combination with the characteristics, in good weather such as cloudy or sunny, the ODD range can be limited to the lanes close to the collapse body; in bad weather such as heavy rain, the entire road range is divided into non-ODD range. The non-ODD range is defined in combination with the rainfall station data and the frequency of collapse.

[0038] For other severe weather conditions, if the wind is severe at level 4 or 5 warning level, the ODD range calculation logic will be activated.

[0039] For road areas where geological disasters have occurred, resulting in road construction and direct road interruption, they are directly added to the non-ODD area according to the current dynamic events. This embodiment does not fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0040] S2, judging whether to incorporate geological disaster meteorological warning information into the calculation range of ODD in combination with the state of the vehicle external information collection sensor; if so, executing S3, if not, ending the process. In this embodiment, the vehicle external information collection sensor includes a rainfall sensor, a vehicle external temperature collection sensor and a vehicle external light sensor.

[0041] Combine the rainfall level and the wiper status, that is, use the wiper status as a rain sensor, and the wiper is in high gear to jointly judge the geological disaster meteorological warning level, that is, if the rainfall level is at level 4 or 5, then it is determined that the geological disaster meteorological warning information is incorporated into the calculation of the ODD range. Otherwise, it is determined not to incorporate the geological disaster meteorological warning information into the calculation of the ODD range.

[0042] The temperature is divided into low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature. When the vehicle's external temperature acquisition sensor is at low temperature and the geological disaster meteorological warning level is judged to be at level 4 or 5, it is determined that the geological disaster meteorological warning information will be incorporated into the calculation of the ODD range. Otherwise, it is determined not to be incorporated into the calculation of the ODD range.

[0043] If the vehicle is at night or in a tunnel and the geological disaster weather warning level is at level 4 or 5 according to the vehicle's external light sensor, it is determined that the geological disaster weather warning information is incorporated into the calculation of the ODD range. Otherwise, it is determined that the geological disaster weather warning information is not incorporated into the calculation of the ODD range.

[0044] Combine forward vision and vehicle tire friction to determine road conditions. If there is water on the road, snow on the road, thin ice on the road, or road subsidence, and the geological disaster meteorological warning information level reaches level three or above, the geological disaster meteorological warning information will be incorporated into the calculation of the ODD range.

[0045] S3, integrates geological disaster meteorological warning information to calculate the impact range and impact time; calculates the spatial buffer zone for the geocoded location of the warning location in the geological disaster meteorological warning information, increases the safe driving section, and leaves enough driving space for safe assisted driving. The geocoded location calculated according to the logic opened by S1 and S2 is used to open spatial analysis according to the geological disaster meteorological warning level. The spatial analysis uses the high-precision map road line shape as the buffer zone analysis, mainly using the fourth level as a 10-kilometer buffer zone analysis and the fifth level as a 20-kilometer buffer zone analysis.

[0046] S4, superimposing high-precision map data, associating the impact range with the preset ODD range, modifying the preset ODD range and adding the impact time, and defining the ODD range. In this embodiment, the preset ODD range is generated based on the high-precision map and the ODD demand information of the vehicle.

[0047] The present invention is based on geological disaster meteorological warning information, and combines the vehicle's external information collection sensor information to define the ODD range of the high-precision map, and formulates corresponding classification sources to supplement and improve the ODD range used by the high-precision map. At the same time, it can remind users that if they find geological disaster risks during driving, they should take disaster prevention and risk avoidance measures in time and pay attention to travel safety. It can also push geological disaster risk warning information to users in real time when they are traveling, allowing users to effectively plan travel routes and travel comfortably.

[0048] Example 2, see Figure 2 As shown, a method for defining an ODD range based on meteorological disaster warning information, based on embodiment one, also includes S5, which determines the vehicle status according to the warning release time of the geological disaster meteorological warning information and the vehicle external information collection sensor, releases the defined ODD range, and ensures smooth use of the vehicle's high-level assisted driving functions.

[0049] Example 3, see Figure 3As shown, an ODD range delineation device based on geological disaster meteorological warning information can execute the steps of the ODD range delineation method based on geological disaster meteorological warning information described in Example 1 or Example 2 of the present invention. It includes an acquisition module, a determination module, a calculation module and a delineation module. The acquisition module is used to acquire geological disaster meteorological warning information and store it in the cloud; the determination module is used to determine whether to incorporate the geological disaster meteorological warning information into the calculation of the ODD range in combination with the state of the vehicle external information collection sensor; the calculation module is used to integrate the geological disaster meteorological warning information to calculate the impact range and impact time; the delineation module is used to associate the impact range with the preset ODD range, modify the preset ODD range and add the impact time, and delineate the ODD range.

[0050] In the fourth embodiment, the present invention discloses a storage medium storing a computer-readable program. When the computer-readable program is called, it can execute the steps of the ODD range delineation method based on geological disaster meteorological warning information described in the first or second embodiment of the present invention.
