[0042] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0043] The following describes the vehicle automatic control method, device, vehicle and storage medium of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the problem mentioned in the above background technology that it is limited to paved roads and cannot effectively cope with complex off-road environments, the present application provides a vehicle automatic control method to meet the needs of automatic driving in off-road conditions, help the driver to drive the vehicle more easily on off-road conditions, reduce the difficulty of driver operation, allow the driver to focus more on steering and finding a path to cross obstacles, improve the performance of the vehicle on complex roads, achieve the purpose of optimal off-road performance, and make off-road driving more comfortable and safe.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a vehicle automatic control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle automatic control method includes the following steps:

[0046] In step S101, the current terrain mode of the current vehicle is determined, and sensor information, power system information, current terrain mode information, safety system information, accelerator pedal information, brake pedal information, switch information and speed lever information of the current vehicle are obtained.

[0047] The sensor information of the current vehicle includes wheel speed sensor information and inertial navigation sensor information.

[0048] In some embodiments, the current terrain mode includes at least one of a sand mode, a snow mode, a rock mode, a wading mode and a mud mode.

[0049] Further, in some embodiments, determining the current terrain mode of the current vehicle includes: obtaining current road condition information, and determining the current terrain mode based on the current road condition information and a user confirmation result; and / or obtaining a terrain mode selected by a user, and determining the current terrain mode based on the terrain mode selected by the user.

[0050] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application can capture road condition information through the perception system camera, radar, water depth detector, navigation map and other equipment installed on the current vehicle, and automatically identify the terrain features of the current vehicle. Different from the existing ADAS system that can identify vehicles, lanes, traffic signs, etc. on paved roads, the present invention can realize the recognition of typical off-road terrains, such as wading, mud, rocks, sand, snow and other complex terrains.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the system interacts with the user through the HMI (Human Machine Interface), that is, the recognized terrain mode is displayed to the user, and the user is requested to confirm the terrain mode, and the recognized terrain mode and the result of the user's confirmation are arbitrated to output the final current terrain mode. For example, if the recognized terrain mode is consistent with the result of the user's confirmation, the recognized terrain mode is directly output as the current terrain mode; if the recognized terrain mode is inconsistent with the result of the user's confirmation, arbitration is performed according to preset rules, such as giving priority to the driver's choice, or outputting the current terrain mode based on comprehensive considerations of safety and efficiency, which is not specifically limited here.

[0052] In addition to the above-mentioned HMI interaction, the embodiment of the present application also provides a relatively simple terrain mode selection method. The user can use the physical switch, knob set in the car, or the virtual button (soft switch) on the touch screen to actively select the desired terrain mode. After the system receives the user's active request for the terrain mode switch, it issues the final current terrain mode after confirmation.

[0053] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application can obtain the sensor information of the current vehicle by reading the data of the wheel speed sensor, inertial navigation sensor, camera, radar, water depth detector and other equipment of the current vehicle. The embodiment of the present application can also obtain the power system information by reading the data of the engine speed, torque output, fuel flow and other data; the embodiment of the present application can obtain the safety system information by reading the seat belt status and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) status of the current vehicle; the embodiment of the present application can obtain the accelerator pedal information by reading the opening of the accelerator pedal; the embodiment of the present application can obtain the brake pedal information by reading the opening of the brake pedal; the embodiment of the present application can also obtain the switch information by reading the state of the cruise control switch, the state of the terrain mode selection switch, the state of the auxiliary function switch or the state of the light control switch; the embodiment of the present application can also obtain the speed lever information by the state of the current vehicle speed lever, which is not specifically limited here.

[0054] In step S102, current vehicle state estimation information is obtained based on sensor information, power system information, current terrain mode information, safety system information, accelerator pedal information and brake pedal information, and target control vehicle speed is obtained based on switch information and speed lever information.

[0055] Specifically, in order to ensure the stability and safety of the current vehicle in complex terrain, the embodiment of the present application estimates the current vehicle state by comprehensively considering sensor information, power system information, current terrain mode information, safety system information, accelerator pedal information and brake pedal information to obtain current vehicle state estimation information, such as vehicle speed, acceleration, steering angle, etc., and through switch information and speed lever information, processes user needs (such as the target vehicle speed set by the user through the cruise control system) as a vehicle speed control target, and establishes a longitudinal control model that matches the current vehicle state and the current terrain mode to ensure good performance in different terrains.

[0056] Furthermore, the system calculates a safe and feasible vehicle speed control target that meets the user's needs based on the above switch information and speed lever information, combined with the current vehicle state and terrain mode. For example, when the user increases the target speed through the speed lever, the system will gradually increase the speed while ensuring safety; conversely, if the user reduces the target speed or steps on the brake, the vehicle will decelerate or stop accordingly.

[0057] In step S103, the current vehicle state estimation information is input into a preset power control model to obtain the current vehicle power control strategy, and the current vehicle state estimation information is input into a preset brake control model to obtain the current vehicle brake control strategy.

[0058] In step S104, the current vehicle is automatically controlled based on the power control strategy of the current vehicle, the braking control strategy of the current vehicle and the target control vehicle speed.

[0059] Among them, the preset power control model of the embodiment of the present application is established according to the current vehicle characteristics. In particular, the preset power control model needs to refer to the current vehicle state estimation information, including the current terrain mode information. In order to ensure that all terrain modes can have good performance, the correction coefficient and calibration amount and other parameters of the preset power control model need to be processed differently under different terrain modes or different vehicle states.

[0060] In addition, the preset braking control model of the embodiment of the present application is also established based on the current vehicle characteristics. In particular, the preset braking control model needs to refer to the current vehicle state estimation information, including the current terrain mode information. In order to ensure that all terrain modes can have good performance, the correction coefficient and calibration amount of the preset braking control model and other parameters need to be processed differently in different terrain modes or different vehicle states.

[0061] It is understandable that in the current off-road environment, the vehicle's torque output is not the greater the better, and the braking control is not the faster the better. Based on this, an innovative view is proposed to match torque control and braking control with terrain characteristics. Different longitudinal control strategies correspond to different terrains such as wading, mud, rocks, sand, snow, etc., to achieve optimal performance in various complex off-road terrains.

[0062] According to the terrain characteristics of the current vehicle, in the preset power control model, different accelerator pedal characteristic curves (pedalmap) and different shift lines are mapped according to different terrain characteristics, or in the preset braking control model, different braking control PTC (Power Train Control) and BTC (Brake Torque Control) thresholds are mapped according to different terrain characteristics.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the current vehicle state estimation information is input into a preset power control model to obtain a power control strategy for the current vehicle, including: determining an accelerator pedal characteristic curve, torque filter parameters, cooling fan operating status, and shift line that match the current terrain mode based on the current vehicle state estimation information, so as to automatically control the current vehicle based on the accelerator pedal characteristic curve, torque filter parameters, cooling fan operating status, and shift line.

[0064] For example, assuming that the current terrain mode of the current vehicle is sand mode, it is obvious that the adhesion coefficient of the current road surface is low and the driving resistance is large, which can easily cause single-road vehicle suspension and cross-axle. If the current vehicle is in a low-speed condition, it is easy to get stuck. If the current vehicle is in a downhill condition, it is easy to trigger the ABS, causing the vehicle speed to be uncontrollable.

[0065] Therefore, the power control strategy of the current vehicle can be: first, use a stronger Pedalmap for sand to improve power output. Second, use a stronger filter parameter for torque filtering to make the power output linear and coherent. Then, force the cooling fan of the current vehicle to run to reduce the engine water temperature. Finally, the shift line of the current vehicle uses the first gear to start, so as to increase the shift speed and enhance the power output.

[0066] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the current vehicle state estimation information is input into a preset braking control model to obtain a braking control strategy for the current vehicle, including: determining a state of a braking system, a target front axle slip rate, a target rear axle slip rate, a state of a torque limiting function, and a target braking torque control strategy that match the current terrain mode according to the current vehicle state estimation information, so as to automatically control the current vehicle based on the state of the braking system, the target front axle slip rate, the target rear axle slip rate, the state of a torque limiting function, and a target braking torque control strategy.

[0067] For example, assuming that the current terrain mode of the current vehicle is sand mode, obviously, on low-adhesion surfaces such as sand, the traditional ABS (anti-lock braking system) may cause the vehicle to lose grip, especially at low speeds, causing the wheels to continue to slide in the sand and fail to effectively slow down.

[0068] Based on this, the braking control strategy of the current vehicle in the embodiment of the present application can be: when the current vehicle speed is lower than 35km / h, the ABS function shutdown is turned off to form a "sand pile effect", increase the contact area between the tire and the ground, thereby improving grip, avoiding wheel slippage, and enhancing vehicle stability and controllability.

[0069] Furthermore, when the current vehicle speed is higher than 35km / h, the traditional ABS control method cannot provide sufficient steering ability, especially in emergency braking, the vehicle is prone to lose control. Therefore, a large control cycle is adopted to reduce the intervention frequency of ABS, but the intervention time is longer each time, thereby reducing the frequent fluctuations in braking force and avoiding excessive wheel slip. At the same time, the front axle slip rate control target is 60% and the rear axle control target is 80%, so that the current vehicle can better maintain steering ability when driving at high speed, avoid vehicle loss of control due to excessive braking force, and also decelerate more effectively.

[0070] Furthermore, if the current vehicle is in 4H mode (high-speed four-wheel drive), the PTC torque limiting function is turned off to maximize the power output and ensure that the current vehicle has a stronger power response in 4H mode.

[0071] Furthermore, when the current vehicle is in 4H mode, if the current vehicle is in a low speed range, a lower intervention threshold and slip control target are adopted to improve the vehicle stability and controllability in conditions where the vehicle has wheel slip, such as pushing a blade and turning over a sand beam; if the current vehicle is in a high speed range, a higher intervention threshold and slip control target are adopted to reduce the abruptness of braking intervention when driving at high speed on a flat road and to ensure the vehicle's driving dynamics, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.

[0072] Furthermore, the 4L mode is usually used for escape conditions, and the BTC calibration direction is mainly to improve the escape performance, such as deep floating sand, soft sand, sand pits, etc. These terrains place extremely high demands on the vehicle's escape ability. In this case, traditional torque control and wheel-to-wheel limited slip control often cannot play an effective role, because the adhesion coefficient between the flowing sand and the tire is very low, and the wheels are easy to get stuck in it. If the current vehicle is in 4L (low-speed four-wheel drive) mode, the wheel-to-wheel limited slip is properly controlled to avoid giving the driver the impression of no control and poor performance, and to avoid the vehicle falling into deeper trouble due to excessive limited slip control. At the same time, appropriate slip control can also make users feel that the vehicle is still under control, enhancing driving confidence.

[0073] In addition, the embodiment of the present application can also realize real-time interaction of key information through the HMI control model. The instrument and large screen display the current target vehicle speed, activation status and other information in real time. The brake lights are automatically turned on when the system performs braking control to enhance the user experience.

[0074] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to more clearly and intuitively understand the vehicle automatic control method of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 Provide detailed explanation.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a vehicle state estimation model and a longitudinal control model matching the vehicle state and terrain mode are established based on wheel speed sensor information, inertial navigation sensor information, power system information, current terrain mode information, seat belt, accelerator, brake and other information, switch information and speed lever information, in order to ensure good performance in all terrain modes. The HMI interacts with the current target vehicle speed, activation status and other information in real time.

[0076] Furthermore, the power control model and the brake control model receive all input information respectively, and the power system controller receives the output of the power control model for controlling the power system of the vehicle. The brake system controller receives the output of the brake control model for controlling the brake system of the vehicle. The instrument, host, brake light switch, etc. receive the output of the HMI control model to realize real-time interaction between the HMI and the user. The driver activates the off-road automatic driving target speed control through the switch, and can adjust the target speed through the cruise speed control switch. If the vehicle is on an uphill road condition, or the user increases the target speed, the system issues a request to increase the drive torque. If the vehicle is on a downhill road condition, or the user reduces the target speed, the system will give priority to the engine's drag torque or the motor's recovery torque. If the drag torque is not enough to reduce the vehicle speed to the target speed, the system will increase the brake pressure.

[0077] According to the vehicle automatic control method proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the current vehicle state estimation information is obtained according to the sensor information, power system information, current terrain mode information, safety system information, accelerator pedal information and brake pedal information, and the target control vehicle speed is obtained according to the switch information and the speed lever information; the current vehicle state estimation information is input into the preset power control model to obtain the current vehicle power control strategy, and the current vehicle state estimation information is input into the preset brake control model to obtain the current vehicle brake control strategy; the current vehicle is automatically controlled based on the current vehicle power control strategy, the current vehicle brake control strategy and the target control vehicle speed. Thus, the problem that the existing technology is limited to paved roads and cannot effectively cope with complex off-road environments is solved, and the corresponding driving torque and braking force control strategies can be intelligently matched according to the identified terrain features, the vehicle speed can be controlled in real time, and off-road automatic driving can be realized.

[0078] Next, the vehicle automatic control device proposed according to the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second processing module 300 is used to determine an accelerator pedal characteristic curve, a torque filter parameter, a cooling fan operating state and a shift line that match the current terrain mode according to current vehicle state estimation information, so as to automatically control the current vehicle based on the accelerator pedal characteristic curve, the torque filter parameter, the cooling fan operating state and the shift line.

[0084] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second processing module 300 is used to determine the state of the braking system, the target front axle slip rate, the target rear axle slip rate, the state of the torque limiting function and the target braking torque control strategy that match the current terrain mode according to the current vehicle state estimation information, so as to automatically control the current vehicle based on the state of the braking system, the target front axle slip rate, the target rear axle slip rate, the state of the torque limiting function and the target braking torque control strategy.

[0085] Further, in some embodiments, the current terrain mode includes at least one of a sand mode, a snow mode, a rock mode, a wading mode, and a mud mode.
