[0058] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be more comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0059] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present application and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and thus their repeated description will be omitted. 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.

[0060] In this example implementation, a vehicle accident warning method is first provided, wherein a sensor is installed at different positions of the vehicle, and each of the sensors is connected to a zero terminal. Figure 1 As shown in , the method may include: steps S101 to S103.

[0061] Wherein, step S101: the zero terminal notifies the camera to collect on-site image data of the vehicle based on the received pressure signal; wherein the pressure signal is a signal collected by the sensor that is hit;

[0062] Step S102: the zero terminal performs layered processing on the collected on-site image data, and sends the processed on-site image data and the location information of the vehicle acquired by the zero terminal to the cloud server;

[0063] Step S103: The zero terminal obtains the vehicle's current lane, dwell time and the number of sensors that have been hit, and sends the current lane, dwell time and the number of sensors that have been hit to the cloud server, so that the cloud server can obtain the vehicle's accident level, the exact location of the accident, the affected lane and the cause of the accident based on the processed on-site image data, location information, current lane, dwell time and the number of sensors that have been hit, so that the cloud server can generate warning information based on the accident level, the exact location of the accident, the affected lane and the cause of the accident, and send the warning information to the vehicles behind the vehicle where the accident occurred.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, through the above method, the zero terminal obtains the current lane, dwell time and number of sensors hit by the vehicle, and sends the processed on-site image data, location information, current lane, dwell time and number of sensors hit to the cloud server, so as to obtain the accident level of the vehicle, the accurate location of the accident, the affected lane and the cause of the accident, and generate warning information, which is then sent to the rear vehicles to enable the rear vehicles to avoid and pass in advance. Through this method, not only can the accident situation of the accident vehicle be actively obtained and warning information can be quickly generated so that the rear vehicles can be notified in time so that the rear vehicles can avoid and pass in time, but also road congestion and the probability of another accident can be reduced.

[0065] Next, we will refer to Figure 1 Each step of the above method in this example implementation is described in more detail.

[0066] Before discussing the method of the present application, the sensor and the zero terminal are first explained.

[0067] A sensor is installed at different positions of the vehicle. Exemplarily, a sensor is installed at the left front position of the front of the vehicle, the middle position of the front of the vehicle, the right front position of the front of the vehicle, the middle position of the left and right sides of the vehicle body, the left rear position of the rear of the vehicle, the middle position of the rear of the vehicle, and the right rear position of the rear of the vehicle. And each sensor is individually connected to a zero terminal, and each zero terminal is individually connected to a camera. In addition, each zero terminal is connected to a communication device, and the communication device is a 4G / 5G communication device. Among them, the sensor is a pressure sensor, and when the sensor is hit by an external force, a pressure signal is generated. Therefore, when the sensor is hit by an external force, the sensor is used to collect the pressure signal. Each sensor is individually connected to a zero terminal for sending the pressure signal to the zero terminal. The zero terminal is an image acquisition zero terminal.

[0068] In step S101, when a vehicle is driving and an accident occurs, the sensor at the corresponding position on the vehicle will also be hit. When the sensor is hit, the sensor will collect a pressure signal. After the sensor collects the pressure signal, it will send the pressure signal to the zero terminal connected to the sensor. At this time, the zero terminal will trigger the camera to collect the scene image data of the vehicle where the accident occurred based on the received pressure signal, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the scene image data.

[0069] In step S102, after the zero terminal collects the on-site image data, the on-site image data corresponding to the on-site image data is subjected to layered processing. The specific layered processing process includes the following sub-step S1021 contents:

[0070] The zero terminal encodes the data of the Y component in the live image data;

[0071] And send the encoded on-site image data to the cloud server.

[0072] It should be noted that hierarchical processing is hierarchical coding processing, and hierarchical coding only encodes the data of the Y component, but not the data of the U component and the V component. This is mainly because: the human eye is more sensitive to brightness information (Y component) and less sensitive to chrominance information (U component, V component); compression of chrominance components can significantly improve coding efficiency while having little impact on visual quality; by reducing the resolution of U and V components, the amount of data can be greatly reduced, and the computational complexity can be reduced without affecting visual perception. Therefore, encoding only the data of the Y component can minimize the impact on visual quality while ensuring a high compression rate.

[0073] After the layered processing is completed, the zero terminal sends the encoded on-site image data to the cloud server for subsequent processing.

[0074] In addition, the zero terminal can obtain the vehicle's location information through a positioning module (such as GPS), and send the vehicle's location information to the cloud server for subsequent processing by the cloud server.

[0075] In step S103, when the zero terminal obtains the current lane of the vehicle, it obtains the current lane through a third-party software. The third-party software may be Amap or Tencent Map. The zero terminal obtains the dwell time based on the time the vehicle is at the dwell position after the accident and the time the vehicle is not at the dwell position after the accident. The dwell position is the position where the vehicle stops after the accident. The number of sensors that are impacted is determined by the number of zero terminals that transmit information to the cloud server.

[0076] The zero terminal sends the acquired current lane, dwell time and number of sensors hit to the cloud server, so that the cloud server conducts a comprehensive analysis of the received processed on-site image data, location information, current lane, dwell time and number of sensors hit to determine the vehicle's accident level, the exact location of the accident, the affected lane and the cause of the accident.

[0077] Furthermore, the cloud server obtains the accident level of the vehicle based on the processed on-site image data; the cloud server obtains the exact location of the accident based on the location information and the current lane; the cloud server obtains the affected lane based on the current lane; the cloud server obtains the cause of the accident based on the processed on-site image data.

[0078] It should be noted that the affected lane may be the current lane or the adjacent lane, depending on the actual situation, which will not be elaborated in this application.

[0079] By analyzing the processed on-site image data, the cause of the vehicle accident can be determined, which may be a vehicle collision, road collapse, landslide or mud-rock flow.

[0080] Furthermore, the step of the cloud server obtaining the accident level of the vehicle according to the processed on-site image data includes:

[0081] If the on-site image data shows that there is only one affected lane, the accident level of the vehicle is determined to be a minor accident;

[0082] If the on-site image data shows that there are two affected lanes, the accident level of the vehicle is determined to be a serious accident;

[0083] If the on-site image data shows that three or more lanes are affected, the vehicle's accident level is determined to be a major accident.

[0084] It is understandable that the above method of determining the accident level can accurately

[0085] The cloud server generates warning information according to the accident level, the exact location of the accident, the affected lanes and the cause of the accident, and sends the warning information to the vehicles behind the vehicle where the accident occurred, including the following steps:

[0086] When the vehicle involved in the accident stays in the current lane for less than a preset time period and the accident level is a minor accident, the vehicle involved in the accident will send a warning message to the vehicle behind it that is at a preset distance from the vehicle involved in the accident, so that the vehicle behind it can give way in advance.

[0087] When the vehicle involved in the accident stays in the current lane for longer than a preset time period and the accident level is a serious accident or a major accident, the vehicle involved in the accident will send a warning message to the rear vehicle traveling at a preset distance from the first fork behind the vehicle involved in the accident, so that the rear vehicle can give way in advance.

[0088] It is understandable that the stay time can be 30min-1h, and the preset time period can be set according to actual conditions, which will not be elaborated in this application.

[0089] For minor accidents, the stay time of the vehicle involved in the accident is generally short, and the scene can usually be cleared quickly by traffic police and tow trucks. The stay time of a vehicle involved in a minor accident is generally 30 minutes to 1 hour. The preset time period can be set according to actual conditions, and this application will not go into details.

[0090] When the vehicle involved in the accident stays in the current lane for 30 minutes to 1 hour (this time period is less than the preset time period), and the accident level is a minor accident, it does not affect traffic. At this time, when the accident occurs and the vehicle behind the vehicle drives to the preset distance from the vehicle involved in the accident, the vehicle involved in the accident notifies the vehicle behind it through the third-party software to inform the vehicle behind that a traffic accident has occurred at a preset distance ahead at a certain time, and to facilitate the driver of the vehicle behind to drive carefully and avoid traffic in advance.

[0091] For serious or major accidents, the vehicles involved in the accident usually stay for a long time, seriously affecting traffic. The vehicles involved in serious or major accidents usually stay for more than 1 hour.

[0092] When the vehicle involved in the accident stays in the current lane for more than 1 hour (this time period is greater than the preset time period), and the accident level is a serious accident or a major accident, which seriously affects traffic. At this time, when the accident occurs from the vehicle behind the vehicle to the preset distance of the first fork behind the vehicle involved in the accident, the vehicle involved in the accident notifies the vehicle behind it through the third-party software to inform the vehicle behind it that a traffic accident occurred at a preset distance of the fork ahead at a certain time, and to facilitate the driver of the vehicle behind to drive carefully and avoid traffic in advance.

[0093] It should be noted that the preset distance can be 1km or other values, which can be set according to actual conditions, and this application will not go into details.

[0094] This example implementation also provides a vehicle accident warning method, in which a sensor is installed at different positions of the vehicle, and each sensor is connected to a zero terminal. Figure 2 The method includes: step S201 to step S203.

[0095] Wherein, step S201: the cloud server receives the location information of the vehicle, the current lane of the vehicle, the dwell time, the number of sensors hit and the processed scene image data sent by the zero terminal; wherein the processed scene image data is the data obtained by the zero terminal performing layered processing on the collected scene image data; the scene image data is the scene image data of the vehicle collected by the zero terminal based on the received pressure signal notified by the camera; the pressure signal is the signal collected by the sensor hit;

[0096] Step S202: The cloud server obtains the accident level of the vehicle, the exact location of the accident, the affected lane, and the cause of the accident based on the processed on-site image data, location information, current lane, dwell time, and the number of sensors hit;

[0097] Step S203: The cloud server generates warning information according to the accident level, the exact location of the accident, the affected lanes and the cause of the accident, and sends the warning information to the vehicles behind the vehicle where the accident occurred.

[0098] In one embodiment, the current lane of the vehicle is obtained from third-party software via a zero terminal;

[0099] The zero-terminal dwell time is calculated based on the time the vehicle spends at the dwelling location after the accident and the time the vehicle is not at the dwelling location after the accident. The dwelling location is the location where the vehicle stops after the accident.

[0100] The number of sensors hit is determined by the number of zero terminals that transmit information to the cloud server.

[0101] In one embodiment, the cloud server obtains the accident level of the vehicle, the exact location of the accident, the affected lane, and the cause of the accident based on the processed on-site image data, location information, current lane, dwell time, and number of sensors hit, including:

[0102] The cloud server obtains the accident level of the vehicle based on the processed on-site image data;

[0103] The cloud server obtains the exact location of the accident based on the location information and the current lane;

[0104] The cloud server obtains the affected lane based on the current lane;

[0105] The cloud server obtains the cause of the accident based on the processed on-site image data.

[0106] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the accident level of the vehicle according to the processed on-site image data by the cloud server includes:

[0107] If the on-site image data shows that there is only one affected lane, the accident level of the vehicle is determined to be a minor accident;

[0108] If the on-site image data shows that there are two affected lanes, the accident level of the vehicle is determined to be a serious accident;

[0109] If the on-site image data shows that three or more lanes are affected, the vehicle's accident level is determined to be a major accident.

[0110] In one embodiment, the cloud server generates warning information according to the accident level, the exact location of the accident, the affected lanes and the cause of the accident, and sends the warning information to the vehicles behind the vehicle where the accident occurred, further comprising:

[0111] When the vehicle involved in the accident stays in the current lane for less than a preset time period and the accident level is a minor accident, the vehicle involved in the accident will send a warning message to the rear vehicle traveling at a preset distance from the vehicle involved in the accident, so that the rear vehicle will give way in advance;

[0112] When the vehicle involved in the accident stays in the current lane for longer than a preset time period and the accident level is a serious accident or a major accident, the vehicle involved in the accident will send a warning message to the rear vehicle traveling at a preset distance from the first fork behind the vehicle involved in the accident, so that the rear vehicle can give way in advance.

[0113] It should be noted that the discussion of the vehicle accident warning method when the cloud server of this application is the execution subject has been elaborated in detail in the above embodiment when the zero terminal is the execution subject, and this application will not repeat it.

[0114] It should be noted that, although the steps of the method in the present application are described in a specific order in the accompanying 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 for execution, and / or one step may be decomposed into multiple steps for execution, etc. In addition, it is also easy to understand that these steps may be, for example, executed synchronously or asynchronously in multiple modules / processes / threads.

[0115] Furthermore, in this exemplary embodiment, a zero terminal is also provided. Figure 3 As shown in , the zero terminal 100 includes: a notification module 110, a hierarchical processing module 120 and an acquisition and sending module 130. The notification module 110 is used for the zero terminal to notify the camera to collect the scene image data of the vehicle based on the received pressure signal; wherein the pressure signal is a signal collected by the sensor that is hit; the hierarchical processing module 120 is used for the zero terminal to perform hierarchical processing on the collected scene image data, and send the processed scene image data and the location information of the vehicle obtained by the zero terminal to the cloud server; the acquisition and sending module 130 is used for the zero terminal to obtain the current lane, the stay time and the number of sensors that are hit by the vehicle, and send the current lane, the stay time and the number of sensors that are hit to the cloud server, so that the cloud server can obtain the accident level of the vehicle, the accurate location of the accident, the affected lane and the cause of the accident according to the processed scene image data, location information, the current lane, the stay time and the number of sensors that are hit; and so that the cloud server can generate warning information according to the accident level, the accurate location of the accident, the affected lane and the cause of the accident, and send the warning information to the vehicle behind the vehicle that has the accident.
