Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0027] In order to reduce traffic congestion, no-parking zone signs are usually painted on the ground at corresponding locations at city intersections, school gates, factory gates, etc., indicating that parking is prohibited here. In addition, at some road gaps, at the junction where the auxiliary road merges into the main road, the two roads have a shared area. To avoid congestion, vehicles are also prohibited from parking in the no-parking zone and should give way reasonably. Autonomous driving vehicles, especially the urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) function, can support vehicles to complete intersections in the city.

[0028] However, since the existing technology does not have a following strategy that complies with traffic regulations for autonomous driving and no-parking zones, it may lead to illegal driving, traffic jams, increased risk of takeover, and be detrimental to the smoothness of urban NOA traffic.

[0029] In order to solve the above problems, this exemplary embodiment proposes a vehicle control method, a vehicle control device, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below:

[0030] This example embodiment first provides a vehicle control method. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S110: Detect whether the area ahead of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone.

[0032] Step S120: If yes, determine whether there is a preceding vehicle in the driving direction of the current vehicle.

[0033] Step S130: If there is a preceding vehicle, obtain the status information of the preceding vehicle, and control the driving status of the current vehicle in the no-parking zone according to the status information, wherein the status information indicates whether the preceding vehicle is in a stopped state or a driving state.

[0034] In the vehicle control method provided in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that the front of the road where the vehicle is traveling is a no-parking zone, the vehicle's traffic strategy in the no-parking zone is determined in combination with whether there is a vehicle in front and the different driving conditions of the vehicle in front, and the traffic strategy in the no-parking zone is refined, thereby effectively reducing violations and improving traffic congestion. In addition, no-parking zones are usually places where multiple vehicles gather. The present disclosure will effectively reduce risk takeover and improve the smoothness of autonomous driving vehicles in the city by early identification and reasonable regulation and control interpretation.

[0035] Next, in another embodiment, the above steps are described in more detail.

[0036] In step S110 , it is detected whether the area ahead of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone.

[0037] The above-mentioned current vehicle is a vehicle that can implement the vehicle control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the current vehicle can perceive the surrounding environment through the automatic driving function module, determine the current location and destination, and formulate corresponding routes and driving strategies.

[0038] In the disclosed embodiment, the above-mentioned no-parking zone is an area where vehicles are prohibited from parking, which is usually set up at urban intersections, school gates, factory gates, and junctions where auxiliary roads merge into main roads, where there is dense traffic and traffic, and is prone to congestion. No-parking zone road signs are drawn at corresponding locations on the ground in these areas to remind drivers that they are not allowed to park here for any reason. For example, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The grid lines in the figure are no-parking markings.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front of the current vehicle refers to the front of the current vehicle's driving direction. When the front of the current vehicle is detected as a no-parking zone, it means that the distance between the current vehicle and the no-parking zone in front is less than a certain value and there are no other vehicles between the current vehicle and the no-parking zone. For example, it can be preset that when there is a no-parking zone within 50 meters in front of the current vehicle, the no-parking zone strategy of the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is started. Then, when it is detected that there is a no-parking zone within 50 meters in front of the current vehicle and there are no other vehicles between the current vehicle and the no-parking zone, the driver can be prompted that the front is a no-parking zone, or in the case of automatic driving, the no-parking zone strategy can be directly started.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of detecting whether the front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone can be implemented as follows: determining the location of the no-parking zone on the current driving road through a preset map; monitoring the distance between the current vehicle and the determined location of the no-parking zone in real time to determine whether the front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone based on the distance. The preset map is a high-precision map pre-set in the vehicle system, which can be used for autonomous driving and contains map elements such as road shape, road markings, traffic signs and obstacles.

[0041] Specifically, the disclosed embodiment can determine whether the road on which the vehicle is currently traveling includes no-parking zone marking elements through the above-mentioned high-precision map. When there is a no-parking zone, the real-time position of the current vehicle is obtained in real time through the vehicle positioning system, so as to determine the distance between the current vehicle and the no-parking zone. When the distance to the no-parking zone is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the vehicle ahead will enter the no-parking zone, and the corresponding no-parking zone strategy is initiated.

[0042] In another embodiment, the above process of detecting whether the area in front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone can also be implemented as follows: obtaining a road image in front of the current vehicle through a camera sensor; identifying the line type and line color on the road surface in the road image, and judging whether the road image contains an icon of a no-parking zone based on the line type and line color, so as to determine whether the area in front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone.

[0043] Specifically, the disclosed embodiment can obtain the road image in front of the current vehicle in real time through the camera sensor on the vehicle, and analyze the image to obtain the image elements contained in the image. Since the no-parking sign is usually a yellow line mark, it can be determined whether the image contains elements that meet the line type and color of the no-parking sign to determine whether the road ahead is a no-parking zone, and when it is determined that the vehicle is about to enter the no-parking zone, the corresponding no-parking zone strategy is activated.

[0044] In step S120, if yes, determine whether there is a preceding vehicle in the driving direction of the current vehicle.

[0045] Because whether there is a vehicle in front of the current vehicle and whether the vehicle in front is in a driving state or a stopped state have an impact on the strategy of the current vehicle passing through the no-parking zone, when the embodiment of the present disclosure determines that there is a no-parking zone in front of the road, it is also necessary to detect whether there is a vehicle in front of the current vehicle, that is, the vehicle in front of the vehicle. Exemplarily, the detection of the vehicle in front can be achieved by means of sensors and feature detection based on prior knowledge of vehicles.

[0046] In the disclosed embodiment, when it is detected that there is no preceding vehicle in the driving direction, the current vehicle is controlled to move forward in the driving direction at a cruising speed. When a preceding vehicle is detected, step S130 is continued to be executed to control the driving state of the current vehicle in the prohibited parking area according to the state information.

[0047] In step S130, if there is a preceding vehicle, the status information of the preceding vehicle is obtained, and the driving status of the current vehicle in the no-parking zone is controlled according to the status information, wherein the above status information indicates whether the preceding vehicle is in a stopped state or a driving state.

[0048] In the disclosed embodiment, since the driving state of the preceding vehicle will affect the strategy of the current vehicle passing through the no-parking zone, when the preceding vehicle is detected through the above steps, it is necessary to further determine the state information of the preceding vehicle, that is, to determine whether the preceding vehicle is in a driving state or a stopped state.

[0049] After determining the driving state of the preceding vehicle, illustratively, the process of controlling the current vehicle to pass through the no-parking zone based on the state information of the preceding vehicle can be implemented as follows:

[0050] When the vehicle in front is stopped, the above-mentioned control of the driving state of the current vehicle in the no-parking zone based on the state information is specifically implemented as follows: calculating the distance between the vehicle in front and the edge of the no-parking zone; judging whether the distance can accommodate the length of the current vehicle; if the distance can accommodate the length of the current vehicle, then the current vehicle is controlled to pass through the no-parking zone and stop behind the vehicle in front; if the distance cannot accommodate the length of the current vehicle, then the current vehicle is controlled to stop before entering the no-parking zone, and the user is prompted that the road ahead is a no-parking zone. That is, if Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when there is a car stopped in front of the no-parking zone, the distance between the stop position of the front car and the edge of the no-parking zone is calculated, and it is determined whether the distance can accommodate the length of the vehicle. If it can accommodate, the current vehicle is allowed to pass through the no-parking zone and stop behind the front car. Otherwise, the vehicle should stop in front of the no-parking zone, inform the user that the front is a no-parking zone, and wait for the front car to leave before starting to pass.

[0051] When the front vehicle is in driving state, the above-mentioned control of the driving state of the current vehicle in the no-parking zone based on the state information is specifically implemented as follows: sending a confirmation prompt to the user whether to enter the no-parking zone; if the user confirms to enter the no-parking zone, the current vehicle is controlled to follow the front vehicle into the no-parking zone; if the front vehicle is detected to stop driving in the no-parking zone, the current vehicle is controlled to issue a lane change request to bypass the front vehicle and exit the no-parking zone; if the user refuses to enter the no-parking zone, the current vehicle is controlled to stop driving before entering the no-parking zone. That is, when there is a vehicle in front of the no-parking zone, when the front vehicle is about to enter the no-parking zone, a reminder is issued to confirm whether to enter the no-parking zone. After the user confirms to enter, the front vehicle is followed normally to enter. After the current vehicle stops in the no-parking zone, the self-vehicle initiates a lane change request to bypass the front vehicle and drive past. If the user confirms not to enter the no-parking zone, the self-vehicle completes the brake stop before the sideline and no longer follows the front vehicle to enter.

[0052] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in the present disclosure are described in a specific order in the drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in this specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be decomposed into multiple steps, etc.

[0053] Furthermore, in this exemplary embodiment, a vehicle control device is also provided, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle control device 400 may include a detection module 410, a judgment module 420 and a control module 430. Among them:

[0054] The detection module 410 can be used to detect whether the front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone;

[0055] The judgment module 420, when yes, can be used to judge whether there is a preceding vehicle in the driving direction of the current vehicle;

[0056] The control module 430 can be used to obtain the status information of the preceding vehicle if there is one, and control the driving status of the current vehicle in the no-parking zone according to the status information, wherein the above status information indicates whether the preceding vehicle is in a stopped state or a driving state.

[0057] In the disclosed embodiment, the above-mentioned detection module can be specifically used to: determine the location of the no-parking zone on the current driving road through a preset map; monitor the distance between the current vehicle and the determined location of the no-parking zone in real time, so as to determine whether the front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone based on the distance.

[0058] In the disclosed embodiment, the above-mentioned detection module can also be specifically used to: obtain the road image in front of the current vehicle through the camera sensor; identify the line type and line color existing on the road surface in the road image, and judge whether the road image contains a no-parking zone icon based on the line type and line color, so as to determine whether the area in front of the current vehicle is a no-parking zone.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module is used to: when the preceding vehicle is in a stopped state according to the status information, calculate the distance between the preceding vehicle and the boundary line of the no-parking zone; determine whether the distance can accommodate the body length of the current vehicle; if the distance can accommodate the body length of the current vehicle, control the current vehicle to pass through the no-parking zone and stop behind the preceding vehicle; if the distance cannot accommodate the body length of the current vehicle, control the current vehicle to stop before entering the no-parking zone, and prompt the user that the road ahead is a no-parking zone.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module is further used for: when it is determined based on status information that the leading vehicle is in a driving state, sending a confirmation prompt to the user whether to enter a no-parking zone; if the user's operation of confirming to enter the no-parking zone is received, controlling the current vehicle to follow the leading vehicle into the no-parking zone; if it is detected that the leading vehicle stops driving in the no-parking zone, controlling the current vehicle to issue a lane change request to bypass the leading vehicle and exit the no-parking zone; if the user's operation of refusing to enter the no-parking zone is received, controlling the current vehicle to stop driving before entering the no-parking zone.
