[0002] At present, wireless networking solutions for autonomous vehicles mostly use wireless gateway technology to achieve vehicle networking based on single-card single-standby, dual-card dual-standby, and triple-card triple-standby networking modes. Once the networking mode is determined, the hardware is fixed and cannot flexibly adapt to the differences and complexities brought about by different wireless network coverage in different regions. For example, some cities have better coverage of Unicom base stations, some cities have wider coverage of Telecom base stations, and some areas are only covered by mobile base stations.

[0003] If the vehicle networking mode is designed to be multi-card multi-standby in pursuit of high-performance vehicle networking, it will increase hardware costs and increase the complexity of system design.

[0051] The wireless networking solution for autonomous vehicles cannot flexibly adapt to the differences and complexities brought about by different wireless network coverage in different regions. If high-performance vehicle networking is pursued, hardware costs will increase and the complexity of system design will be increased. Moreover, the versatility of the existing technical solutions is poor and reliability cannot be guaranteed. In view of this, the present application proposes a dual-module-based vehicle networking solution, the inventive concept of which is that: the processor selects networking configuration information matching the driving route from the networking configuration information library based on the driving route selected for the autonomous driving vehicle; the processor triggers the first module unit to select a matching SIM card to connect to the first module based on the networking configuration information, and triggers the second module unit to select a matching SIM card to connect to the second module; thereafter, the two module units cooperate to achieve the optimal dual-link networking for the autonomous driving vehicle based on their respective selected SIM cards. Thereby, the versatility of vehicle networking in different regions is enhanced, the networking performance and reliability are improved, and the hardware cost is reduced.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the steps of a dual-module vehicle networking method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the vehicle networking method is a vehicle networking device, which can be a hardware device or a software module, for example, a terminal device that can interact with a vehicle, such as a computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a smart wearable device, or an electronic device or controller that can be integrated or installed on a vehicle, or a software module or component that can be integrated or installed on a vehicle or the above terminal device, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0053] Reference Figure 2a As shown, the vehicle networking method can be applied to an autonomous driving vehicle equipped with a dual module unit 200, and the dual module unit 200 may include: a first module unit, a second module unit, and a processor 203 connected to the first module unit and the second module unit respectively; the first module unit includes a first module 2011, a first switch 2012 connected to the first module 2011, and a first SIM card unit 2013 connected to the first switch 2012; the second module unit includes a second module 2021, a second switch 2022 connected to the second module 2021, and a second SIM card unit 2023 connected to the second switch 2022; the first SIM card unit 2013 and the second SIM card unit 2023 both include multiple SIM cards belonging to different operators.

[0054] As shown in FIG2 , taking three SIM cards as an example, the first SIM card unit 2013 and the second SIM card unit 2023 may each include three SIM cards, namely, a "Mobile SIM card" of the first operator, a "Connect SIM card" of the second operator, and a "Dian SIM card" of the third operator. The first module 2011 may be a 4G / 5G module with networking function, and the second module 2021 may be a 4G / 5G module with networking function.

[0055] It should be understood that the SIM card type here is only for the convenience of illustration and does not limit the type of SIM. As the region is different, the network operator will also change, and the corresponding SIM type can be flexibly changed.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the dual-module-based vehicle networking method may include the following steps:

[0057] Step 102: The processor selects networking configuration information matching the driving route selected for the autonomous driving vehicle from a networking configuration information library; wherein the networking configuration information includes first target card information of the first module unit and second target card information of the second module unit.

[0058] The application may obtain a network configuration information library in advance, wherein the network configuration information library may be generated by the following test method:

[0059] The first step is to determine a test vehicle of the same model as the autonomous driving vehicle and a plurality of different driving routes through which the autonomous driving vehicle performs its driving duties.

[0060] First, different types of autonomous vehicles can be selected as test vehicles according to the type of autonomous vehicle. Taking logistics as an example, the fleet can be equipped with multiple types of autonomous logistics vehicles, such as small freight or large freight, or other types of freight vehicles, and 1-2 of each type of freight vehicles can be selected as test vehicles for testing.

[0061] Secondly, multiple different driving routes that the autonomous driving vehicle may take when performing tasks can be screened out. Taking logistics as an example, the goods that the fleet can deliver can be from City A to City B, from City B to City C to City A, or from City A to City C to City B, etc., and the best or shortest route between cities or regions can be screened out as the driving route for driving business. Generally, one driving route can be screened out for each city or region, so the number of driving routes is generally related to the cities covered by the driving business. The more cities the driving business covers, the more driving routes there are.

[0062] It should be noted that the above example of logistics can also be used to consider scenarios where unmanned delivery of takeout or unmanned passenger transportation or other scenarios where unmanned vehicles may perform business, and this application does not limit this. Moreover, the above test vehicle should have the same hardware and software configuration as the autonomous driving vehicle, including the dual-module unit.

[0063] In the second step, for each driving route, the processor of the test vehicle controls the dual-module unit to perform dual-link networking with different SIM card combinations.

[0064] For each driving route, all test vehicles can achieve different dual-link networking through their respective dual-module units. Taking one of the test vehicles for example, the test vehicle can control the dual-module units through its own processor to achieve dual-link networking with different SIM card combinations.

[0065] Combination Figure 2aFor the SIM card type shown, the test vehicle can control the first switch of the first module unit in the dual-module unit through its own processor to select "SIM card movement" to connect with the first module, and at the same time, control the second switch of the second module unit in the dual-module unit to select "SIM card connection" to connect with the first module. In this way, the test vehicle can achieve dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "SIM card movement" connected to the first module and the "SIM card connection" connected to the second module.

[0066] Similarly, the test vehicle can also realize dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "Yi SIM card" connected to the first module and the "electrical SIM card" connected to the second module; and dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "lian SIM card" connected to the first module and the "Yi SIM card" connected to the second module; and dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "lian SIM card" connected to the first module and the "electrical SIM card" connected to the second module; and dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "electrical SIM card" connected to the first module and the "Yi SIM card" connected to the second module; and dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "yi SIM card" connected to the first module and the "lian SIM card" connected to the second module; and dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "lian SIM card" connected to the first module and the "Yi SIM card" connected to the second module; and dual-link networking with the cooperation of the "electrical SIM card" connected to the first module and the "electrical SIM card" connected to the second module. In this way, according to Figure 2a Taking the three types of SIMs shown as an example, each test vehicle can achieve dual-link networking with nine different SIM combinations when testing networking on each driving route.

[0067] In the third step, the processor collects dual-link networking status of dual-link networking with different SIM card combinations, and uses the SIM card information combination with the best dual-link networking status as networking configuration information corresponding to the driving route.

[0068] Optionally, the processor may collect the dual-link networking status of dual-link networking with different SIM card combinations, respectively intercept the SIM card combination with the best dual-link networking status in different sections of the current driving route, and establish a one-to-one mapping relationship between the different sections of the current driving route and the corresponding SIM card information combination with the best dual-link networking status, as the networking configuration information of the current driving route. Among them, the dual-link networking status can be understood as the networking speed, stability and other networking parameters achieved in the current dual link are optimal.

[0069] In specific implementation, each type of test vehicle can determine a network configuration information in each driving route, and each network configuration information can be a driving route corresponding to a SIM card combination, or different sections of a driving route S can correspond to different SIM card combinations. Figure 2b As shown, for example, the test vehicle A is tested on the driving route S1. Through the network status analysis, on the entire driving route S1, the use of the SIM card combination of "mobile SIM card" and "electric SIM card" can achieve the optimal dual-link network status. Therefore, a network configuration information of the test vehicle A is obtained: driving route S1-("mobile SIM card" & "electric SIM card").

[0070] For example, refer to Figure 2c As shown, the test vehicle A is tested on the driving route S2. Through the analysis of the networking status, the driving route S2 can be divided into three sections. The first section uses the SIM card combination of "Mobile SIM Card" and "Electric SIM Card" to achieve the optimal dual-link networking state. The second section uses the SIM card combination of "Electric SIM Card" and "Electric SIM Card" to achieve the optimal dual-link networking state. The third section uses the SIM card combination of "Mobile SIM Card" and "Connected SIM Card" to achieve the optimal dual-link networking state. Therefore, another networking configuration information of the test vehicle A is obtained: driving route S2-("Mobile SIM Card" & "Electric SIM Card"; "Electric SIM Card" and "Electric SIM Card"; "Mobile SIM Card" and "Connected SIM Card"). Among them, the section information corresponding to each SIM card combination is also hidden in the networking configuration information, so that when the networking configuration information is used, it can accurately and timely switch to the optimal SIM card combination when the section is reached.

[0071] It should be understood that in the present application, the test vehicles can achieve the optimal dual-link networking state based on the same SIM card combination on different driving routes, for example: the SIM card combination determined by the test vehicle A on driving route S1 is "Linked SIM Card" and "Linked SIM Card", and at the same time, the SIM card combination determined by the test vehicle A on driving route S2 is also "Linked SIM Card" and "Linked SIM Card". Alternatively, different types of test vehicles can achieve the optimal dual-link networking state based on the same SIM card combination on the same driving route, for example: the SIM card combination determined by the test vehicle A on driving route S1 is "Linked SIM Card" and "Linked SIM Card", and at the same time, the SIM card combination determined by the test vehicle B on driving route S1 is also "Linked SIM Card" and "Linked SIM Card". Moreover, the optimal dual-link networking state should be achieved based on the same SIM card combination for the same type of test vehicles on the same driving route, which is for the presence of 2 or more test vehicles of the same type.

[0072] The fourth step is to count the networking configuration information of all driving routes, establish a one-to-one mapping relationship between each driving route and the corresponding networking configuration information, and generate a networking configuration information library.

[0073] By statistically analyzing the networking configuration information of all test vehicles on all driving routes obtained in the third step, a one-to-one mapping relationship between each driving route and the corresponding networking configuration information can be obtained. Moreover, the mapping relationships obtained by different types of test vehicles can be different or the same. In this way, multiple one-to-one mapping relationships set according to different test vehicle types can be obtained. For example: there are two types of test vehicles, test vehicle A and test vehicle B, wherein the SIM card combination determined by test vehicle A on driving route S1 is "electric SIM card" and "electric SIM card"; the SIM card combination determined on driving route S2 is "electric SIM card" and "electric SIM card"; the SIM card combination determined on driving route S3 is "mobile SIM card" and "connected SIM card". The SIM card combination determined by test vehicle B on driving route S1 is "electric SIM card" and "electric SIM card"; the SIM card combination determined on driving route S2 is "mobile SIM card" and "electric SIM card"; the SIM card combination determined on different sections of driving route S3 is "connected SIM card" and "connected SIM card"; and "mobile SIM card" and "electric SIM card".

[0074] Step 104: Based on the networking configuration information, the processor triggers the first switch in the first module unit to select the SIM card corresponding to the first target card information to be connected to the first module, and triggers the second switch in the second module unit to select the SIM card corresponding to the second target card information to be connected to the second module.

[0075] In the case where there is only one SIM card combination in the networking configuration information, the processor can, based on the networking configuration information, simultaneously trigger the first switch in the first module unit to select a matching SIM card to connect to the first module, and trigger the second switch in the second module unit to select a matching SIM card to connect to the second module.

[0076] Step 106: The first module unit, based on the selected SIM card corresponding to the first target card information, cooperates with the second module unit to select the SIM card corresponding to the second target card information, to achieve dual-link networking for the autonomous driving vehicle; wherein the dual-link networking state achieved by the autonomous driving vehicle based on the networking configuration information on the current driving route is optimal.

[0077] In this way, the autonomous driving vehicle can achieve optimal dual-link networking based on the SIM cards selected by the dual module units. Moreover, the dual links can flexibly adjust their speeds to achieve the optimal networking status.

[0078] Furthermore, in the case where there are multiple SIM card combinations on a driving route, the processor can trigger the first switch in the first module unit based on the networking configuration information, select the SIM card corresponding to the first target card information in the optimal SIM card information combination mapped one-to-one with the corresponding section at different sections, and connect it to the first module; and trigger the second switch in the second module unit, select the SIM card corresponding to the second target card information in the optimal SIM card information combination mapped one-to-one with the corresponding section at different sections, and connect it to the second module. The first module unit cooperates with the SIM card corresponding to the second target card information selected by the second module unit at different sections based on the SIM card corresponding to the first target card information selected by the first module unit, to achieve dynamic dual-link networking for the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0079] Optionally, after realizing dual-link networking for the autonomous driving vehicle, the processor can also dynamically adjust the data transmission parameters of the first module unit and the second module unit according to different networking configuration information, so that the dual links built by the autonomous driving vehicle based on each networking configuration information can achieve balanced configuration of data resources.

[0080] The following is a brief description of the above-mentioned autonomous driving vehicle networking solution through several simple examples.

[0081] There are 20 self-driving vehicles in the transport fleet, including four types: box trucks, large trucks, small trucks and passenger trucks.

[0082] Example 1

[0083] When any container truck wants to deliver goods along route S1 from city A to city B, first, based on the type of container truck, multiple networking configuration information corresponding to the container truck is searched from the networking configuration information library, and then the networking configuration information corresponding to route S1 is searched from these networking configuration information: S1 (container truck) - ("mobile SIM card" and "electrical SIM card"); then, based on the networking configuration information, the processor connects one of the dual modules of the container truck to the "mobile SIM card" and the other module to the "electrical SIM card", and performs dual-link networking based on the SIM card combination along the route S1, thereby achieving the optimal networking state and improving networking performance and reliability.

[0084] Example 2

[0085] Any passenger vehicle needs to transport passengers along the driving route S2 from City A to City B and then to City C. First, according to the type of passenger vehicle, multiple networking configuration information corresponding to the passenger vehicle is searched from the networking configuration information library, and then the networking configuration information corresponding to the driving route S2 is searched from these networking configuration information: S2 (passenger)-(AB: "Mobile SIM card" and "Electric SIM card"; BC: "Electric SIM card" and "Connected SIM card"); then, the processor dynamically adjusts the networking of the passenger vehicle according to the networking configuration information. First, on the section from City A to City B, the first module of the dual module of the passenger vehicle is connected to the "Mobile SIM card", and the second module is connected to the "Electric SIM card"; then, on the section from City B to City C, the first module of the dual module of the passenger vehicle is switched to the "Electric SIM card", and the second module is switched to the "Connected SIM card". Thus, the SIM card combination in the dual link is dynamically adjusted according to the networking configuration information on a driving route to achieve the optimal networking state and improve networking performance and reliability.
