At present, in the driving process, laser radar is mostly used to detect the real-time distance of the preceding vehicle and the distance from the preceding vehicle, and timely warning is performed when the safe distance is exceeded.

[0056] The laser radar is provided for road surface integrity scanning operation of the vehicle road, the laser radar is installed on the laser radar cruise support 2, and the laser radar cruise support 2 is installed on the top of the vehicle, and the laser radar cruise support 2 is built-in laser radar cruise control motor 9, the laser radar cruise control motor 9 is electrically connected with the logic controller, and the laser radar cruise control motor 9 can be driven according to the control instruction issued by the logic controller, so as to drive the laser radar cruise support 2 to rotate, and drive the laser radar to perform multi-angle scanning operation on the ground, so that the laser radar performs corresponding operation state.
[0057] Similarly, the infrared imager is arranged for road surface integrity scanning of the road on which the vehicle travels. In this embodiment, two infrared imagers are arranged, i.e. the left infrared imager 3 and the right infrared imager 6. Each infrared imager is mounted on a corresponding infrared imaging cruise support, i.e. the left infrared imaging cruise support 4 and the right infrared imaging cruise support 7, and is mounted above the left and right headlamps in front of the vehicle head through the infrared imaging cruise support. The infrared imaging cruise support is internally provided with an infrared imaging cruise control motor 8. The infrared imaging cruise control motor 8 is electrically connected with the logic controller and can drive the infrared imaging cruise control motor 8 according to the control instruction issued by the logic controller, thereby driving the infrared imaging cruise support to rotate and driving the infrared imager to perform multi-angle ground scanning, so that the infrared imager executes the corresponding operating state.
[0058] In addition, a rain sensor and a light sensor 5 are arranged on the outside of the vehicle, as shown in Figure 3 . The rain sensor is used to detect rain information in real time, and the light sensor is used to detect light intensity information in real time. A logic controller is arranged in the vehicle, which is electrically connected with the rain sensor and the light sensor 5, and is used to generate a control instruction of the operating state of the laser radar and the infrared imager on the vehicle according to the detected rain information and light intensity information, combined with a preset control logic, and
[0059] issues the control instruction.
[0060] In this embodiment, the operating state of the laser radar and the infrared imager is arranged, which includes a cruise state and a continuous state, which are respectively:
[0061] (1) Cruise state: in the state of horizontal angle as reference 0°, the cruise support is driven to rotate by the control motor, thereby driving the laser radar and the infrared imager to perform reciprocating cruise ground scanning according to the scanning angle from horizontal to 10° downward and back to the horizontal 0° position, and the reciprocating cruise ground scanning is performed once every set time (1 second in this embodiment);
[0062] Specifically, in the cruise state, the laser radar cruise control motor built in the laser radar cruise support starts the cruise state according to the cruise state control instruction, and drives the laser radar to perform reciprocating cruise ground scanning once every second according to the mode of 0° reference to 10° downward and back to the 0° reference position. Similarly, the infrared imaging cruise control motors built in the left and right infrared imaging cruise supports control start the cruise state according to the cruise state control instruction, and respectively drive the left and right infrared imagers to perform reciprocating cruise ground scanning once every second according to the mode of 0° reference to 10° downward and back to the 0° reference position.
[0063] (2) the continuous state is that, in the state of the horizontal angle as the reference 0°, the motor driving cruise support is controlled to rotate, and then the laser radar and the infrared imager are driven to continuously scan the ground according to the fixed scanning angle corresponding to the current situation.
[0064] In the embodiment, in order to ensure the effective implementation of the continuous state, different situations are preset, that is, according to the size of the rainfall, the rainfall information is divided into light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain and heavy rain, and the moderate rainfall and below include light rain and moderate rain, and the moderate rainfall and above include heavy rain and heavy rain; according to the size of the light intensity, the light intensity information is divided into high, medium and low, the high light intensity is the daytime, the medium light intensity is the sunrise and sunset period and the night with auxiliary light, and the low light intensity is the night, wherein the medium and low light intensity are collectively referred to as night.
[0065] Further, in the continuous state, in the state of the horizontal angle as the reference 0°, the range of the fixed scanning angle is 5-10° downward horizontally.
[0066] Specifically, when the detected rainfall information is moderate rainfall and below, and when the detected light intensity information is medium, the fixed scanning angle is 5° downward horizontally. At this time, the laser radar cruise control motor built in the laser radar cruise support starts the continuous state according to the continuous state control instruction, controls the laser radar to continuously scan the ground according to the fixed angle of 0° downward 5°, and the infrared imaging cruise control motor built in the left and right infrared imaging cruise supports starts the continuous state according to the continuous state control instruction, controls the left and right infrared imagers to continuously scan the ground according to the fixed angle position of 0° downward 5°, respectively.
[0067] Similarly, when the detected rainfall information is moderate rainfall and above, and when the detected light intensity information is low, the fixed scanning angle is 10° downward horizontally. At this time, the laser radar cruise control motor built in the laser radar cruise support starts the continuous state according to the continuous state control instruction, controls the laser radar to continuously scan the ground according to the fixed angle of 0° downward 10°, and the infrared imaging cruise control motor built in the left and right infrared imaging cruise supports starts the continuous state according to the continuous state control instruction, controls the left and right infrared imagers to continuously scan the ground according to the fixed angle position of 0° downward 10°, respectively.
[0068] Based on the above setting, in the embodiment, the control logic of the logic controller is:
[0069] (1) In the process of vehicle driving, when the rainfall information is detected, the rainfall sensor starts to transmit the working signal to the logic controller, and the logic controller issues the control instruction to the laser radar, the infrared imager and the cruise control motor according to the preset condition. After receiving the control instruction issued by the logic controller, the laser radar starts to run in the continuous state to continuously scan the road surface, and the infrared imager starts to run in the continuous state to continuously scan the road surface.
[0070] (2) In the process of vehicle driving, when the rainfall information is not detected, the rainfall sensor stops transmitting the working signal to the logic controller, and the logic controller issues the control instruction to the laser radar, the infrared imager and the cruise control motor according to the preset condition. After receiving the control instruction issued by the logic controller, the laser radar starts to run in the cruise state to cruise scan the road surface, and the infrared imager starts to run in the cruise state to cruise scan the road surface.
[0071] (3) In the process of vehicle driving, when the light intensity information is detected as high light intensity, that is, the daytime condition is detected, the light sensor stops transmitting the continuous working signal to the logic controller, and the logic controller issues the control instruction to the laser radar, the infrared imager and the cruise control motor according to the preset condition. After receiving the control instruction issued by the logic controller, the laser radar starts to run in the cruise state to cruise scan the road surface, and the infrared imager starts to run in the cruise state to cruise scan the road surface.
[0072] (4) In the process of vehicle driving, when the light intensity information is detected as medium or low light intensity, that is, the nighttime condition is detected, the light sensor starts to transmit the continuous working signal to the logic controller, and the logic controller issues the control instruction to the laser radar, the infrared imager and the cruise control motor according to the preset condition. After receiving the control instruction issued by the logic controller, the laser radar starts to run in the continuous state to continuously scan the road surface, and the infrared imager starts to run in the continuous state to continuously scan the road surface.
[0073] In addition, in the face of various complex situations, the control logic of the logic controller is:
[0074] When the rainfall information is detected and the nighttime condition is triggered, the laser radar and the infrared imager start to run in the continuous state;
[0075] When the rainfall information is detected and the daytime condition is triggered, the laser radar and the infrared imager start to run in the continuous state;
[0076] When the rainfall information is not detected and the daytime condition is triggered, the laser radar and the infrared imager start to run in the cruise state;
[0077] When the rainfall information is not detected and the night condition is triggered, the laser radar and the infrared imager are started to run in the continuous state.
[0078] Through the design of the above control logic, the laser radar and the infrared imager are scanned in different states under different conditions. Under normal weather, the original laser radar is maintained to identify the front road surface and the front vehicle. In the daytime without rain, the field of view is relatively moderate, so the cruise-to-ground scanning mode is enabled to reduce the risk of vehicle caused by road conditions, while the scanning and identification of the front vehicle are also considered to avoid the risk caused by the front driving vehicle. In the rain, fog and night, the field of view and environmental factors are greatly affected, so the continuous-to-ground scanning mode is enabled to continuously scan and identify the front ground, which can identify the front vehicle and the ground changes in the case of slow vehicle driving in extreme weather, and give priority to continuous identification of the ground changes with greater impact, thereby ensuring the safety of driving.
[0079] Further, the system provided in the embodiment further includes a processor and an alarm device arranged in the vehicle interior, wherein the processor is configured to generate a road surface integrity state image according to the real-time received road surface scanning information of the laser radar and the infrared imager, identify abnormal road surface and its area according to the generated image, and generate alarm information according to the identification result; and the alarm device is configured to receive the alarm information and perform image, icon and voice alarm. Through this setting, the driver and passengers can be reminded by image, icon, voice and other ways after the abnormal road surface is identified, so as to avoid the occurrence of danger.
