Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle control method, device, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, improvements to the front-end structure of the vehicle frame include, for example, adding "reinforcing ribs" to improve its towing resistance. However, due to structural details and material selection, the towing resistance of the front-end frame is limited. Furthermore, since the "reinforcing ribs" are fixed to the frame structure and cannot be removed, both the "reinforcing ribs" and the frame structure will be damaged in a towing accident, resulting in high repair costs and reduced transportation efficiency. Regarding improvements to the radiator skid plate assembly, for example, a heat insulation plate can be installed between the front fender and the radiator skid plate to ensure its protective performance while preventing damage from engine overheating. However, the heat insulation plate reduces the protective performance of the radiator skid plate, and its installation increases the difficulty of installing it.

[0003] Meanwhile, when transporting logs from forests, the weight of the logs and the numerous branches make it easy for the radiator skid plate to collide with the engine oil pan during transport, leading to damage to the skid plate. Therefore, the radiator skid plate assembly needs to be improved to increase its protective range and thus protect the radiator and engine oil pan.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S102: Obtain the operating information of the environment in which the target vehicle is located. The operating information includes at least one of the following: road information, obstacle information, and weather information.

[0030] In step S102, various information about the vehicle's surrounding environment is collected in real time (using cameras, radar, lidar, accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS, weather sensors, etc.), including road conditions, the location and type of potential obstacles, and weather conditions. This information forms the basis for subsequent scene judgment and control strategy generation.

[0031] Step S104: Based on the operation information, determine the operation scenario of the target vehicle.

[0032] In step S104, based on the collected operational information, a preset algorithm and logic are applied to determine the current operating scenario of the vehicle. For example, by analyzing road information (such as slope and road surface smoothness), it is determined whether the vehicle is traveling on a straight or bumpy road; obstacle information is used to determine whether there are obstacles ahead and the nature of the obstacles; and weather information is combined to assess whether adverse weather conditions have been encountered. The accuracy and real-time performance of scenario determination are key to achieving intelligent control.

[0033] Step S106: Based on the operating scenario, generate a target control strategy set. The target control strategy set is used to control the water tank guard assembly of the target vehicle to move to different working positions. When the water tank guard assembly is in different working positions, the ground clearance of the water tank guard assembly is different.

[0034] In step S106, once the vehicle's operating scenario is determined, the system generates a set of control strategies specific to the current scenario. These strategies instruct the vehicle's radiator skid plate assembly to automatically adjust to the most suitable operating position for the current scenario. For example, when driving on a smooth highway, the control strategy set instructs the radiator skid plate to lower to a lower operating position to reduce air resistance and improve fuel efficiency; when driving on off-road or bumpy roads, the strategy set instructs the radiator skid plate to raise to a higher operating position to avoid collisions with ground obstacles and protect the vehicle chassis and cooling system. The position adjustment of the radiator skid plate assembly is achieved through integrated actuators (such as electric or hydraulic lifting devices) to ensure precise control of ground clearance.

[0035] Based on steps S102 to S106, under complex road conditions (such as muddy, gravel roads, and potholes) or inclement weather, the system can automatically raise the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate, effectively preventing direct collisions between the skid plate and ground obstacles, and protecting the vehicle's cooling system and engine oil pan from damage. This active protection mechanism significantly reduces the risk of damage to the radiator and engine oil pan caused by changes in road conditions, improving the vehicle's safety and reliability in harsh environments. On smooth highways or in non-inclement weather, the system can automatically lower the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate, reducing vehicle air resistance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving fuel efficiency. This is particularly important for long-haul transport vehicles, significantly reducing operating costs while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions, making it environmentally friendly. The system can automatically adjust the position of the radiator skid plate according to real-time road conditions and driving style, reducing the need for driver intervention when facing changing road conditions, improving the driving experience, and making driving easier and safer.

[0036] By applying the technical solution of this application, through precise perception of operational information and real-time scene judgment, it is possible to intelligently generate and execute the water tank guard height control strategy most suitable for the current driving conditions. It can adapt to various driving conditions and environmental changes, improve the overall adaptability and flexibility of the vehicle, and provide the best driving and protection status whether in urban roads or in the wild environment, thereby improving the vehicle's safety and fuel efficiency.

[0037] Optionally, the road information includes at least one of the following: slope, slope change rate. Based on the operational information, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined, including:

[0038] Step S201: In response to the road information meeting the first preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined as the first operating scenario, which is used to characterize the smooth road conditions.

[0039] In step S201, when the slope and slope change rate displayed by the road information are both within the preset stable range (i.e., the first preset condition), the system determines that the vehicle is driving under stable road conditions. At this time, since the road surface is not undulating, the water tank guard assembly can maintain a low ground clearance to reduce air resistance when the vehicle is driving and improve fuel efficiency.

[0040] Step S202: In response to the road information meeting the second preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined as the second operating scenario, which is used to characterize the steep road conditions.

[0041] In step S202, if the slope or slope change rate displayed by the road information exceeds the stable range and reaches the preset steep condition (i.e., the second preset condition), the system will determine that the vehicle is driving on a steep road surface. In this case, the radiator skid plate assembly needs to be raised to a higher working position above the ground to avoid collision with ground obstacles when going uphill or downhill, and to protect the vehicle's chassis and cooling system from damage.

[0042] Step S203: In response to the road information meeting the third preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined as the third operating scenario, which is used to characterize the road condition of continuous bumps.

[0043] In step S203, when the slope change rate displayed by the road information is frequent and drastic, exceeding the preset bumpy conditions (i.e., the third preset condition), the system will identify that the vehicle is driving on a continuously bumpy road surface. At this time, the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly needs to be further increased to ensure that no matter how the wheels bounce, the radiator skid plate assembly can always maintain a sufficient safe distance from the ground to prevent collisions with obstacles on the road surface protrusions or depressions.

[0044] Based on steps S201 to S203, the vehicle's current operating scenario is intelligently identified through real-time monitoring of slope and slope change rate. Based on this, the optimal water tank guard height control strategy is generated, realizing intelligent control of the water tank guard assembly's ground clearance. This not only improves the vehicle's safety and adaptability under various road conditions but also optimizes fuel efficiency and driving experience.

[0045] Optionally, the working positions include a first working position where the water tank liner assembly is at a ground clearance of a first preset value and a second working position where the water tank liner assembly is at a ground clearance of a second preset value, wherein the first preset value is less than the second preset value. Based on the operating scenario, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0046] Step S204: In response to the first operating scenario, a first target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The first target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the first working position.

[0047] In step S204, when the system determines that the vehicle is in the first operating scenario, i.e. the road conditions are stable, by analyzing road information, obstacle information and weather information, the system will generate a first target control strategy, instructing the water tank guard assembly to move to the first working position (lower ground clearance) to reduce air resistance when the vehicle is driving, improve fuel economy, and provide stable protection when the vehicle is driving at high speed.

[0048] Step S205: In response to the second operating scenario, a second target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The second target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the second working position.

[0049] In step S205, if the system detects that the vehicle has entered the second operating scenario, i.e. the road slope is large or the slope change rate is significant, the system will generate a second target control strategy and instruct the water tank guard assembly to adjust to the second working position (higher ground clearance) to avoid collisions with ground obstacles that may be caused by slope changes, protect the vehicle chassis and cooling system, and improve vehicle safety, especially during downhill or uphill processes.

[0050] Step S206: In response to the three operating scenarios, a third target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The third target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the second working position.

[0051] In step S206, when the system detects that the vehicle is driving on a continuously bumpy road surface, i.e. the road surface is frequently undulating, the third target control strategy will be activated. The system will also instruct the water tank guard assembly to move to the second working position (higher ground clearance) to deal with obstacles that the vehicle may encounter when driving on bumpy roads, to ensure the safety of the vehicle chassis, and at the same time maintain the protective effect of the water tank guard under complex road conditions.

[0052] It's important to note that when the vehicle's radiator skid plate assembly is moved to its first working position (lower ground clearance), it significantly reduces air resistance and the drag coefficient, thereby improving fuel efficiency and reducing energy consumption. A lower ground clearance helps the vehicle maintain better stability at high speeds, reducing bumps and improving ride comfort, especially when driving on smooth highways. When the radiator skid plate assembly is moved to its second working position (higher ground clearance), it ensures sufficient ground clearance, preventing contact with ground obstacles and improving vehicle passability and safety. A higher ground clearance effectively prevents the radiator skid plate from colliding with obstacles such as stones and branches, protecting the vehicle chassis from damage. This is particularly important in special operations such as log transportation, where preventing the skid plate from colliding with the engine oil pan is crucial. The second working position design allows the vehicle to better adapt to varying road and weather conditions, reducing accidental damage caused by road conditions or weather, improving vehicle reliability and driver safety.

[0053] Based on steps S204 to S206, under complex road conditions or severe weather, the radiator skid plate assembly automatically adjusts to a higher ground clearance, effectively avoiding direct collisions with ground obstacles, protecting critical vehicle components, and reducing the risk of accidental damage. On straight and unobstructed highways, the radiator skid plate assembly lowers to a lower operating position, reducing air resistance during vehicle operation, thereby improving fuel economy and reducing operating costs for long-distance transportation. Intelligent decision-making based on real-time road information enables automatic adjustment of the radiator skid plate height, enhancing the vehicle's intelligence level and meeting the demands of modern vehicles for intelligent control and active safety protection. By avoiding unnecessary collisions between the radiator skid plate and the ground, wear and damage to the skid plate are reduced, extending its service life and thus lowering vehicle maintenance costs.

[0054] Optionally, the obstacle information includes at least one of the following: obstacle type, obstacle size, obstacle location. Based on the operational information, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined, and the information further includes:

[0055] Step S211: In response to the obstacle information satisfying the fourth preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined as the fourth operating scenario. The fourth operating scenario is used to characterize a scenario where there are no obstacles on the driving road.

[0056] In step S211, when the obstacle information analyzed by the system shows that there are no obstacles on the current driving road (i.e., the fourth preset condition is met), it is determined that the vehicle is in an obstacle-free operating scenario. In this case, the radiator skid plate assembly can be kept in a lower first working position to reduce air resistance and improve fuel efficiency.

[0057] Step S212: In response to the obstacle information satisfying the fifth preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined as the fifth operating scenario. The fifth operating scenario is used to characterize a scenario with obstacles on the driving road.

[0058] In step S212, if the system detects an obstacle ahead (i.e., the fifth preset condition is met), it determines that the vehicle has entered an obstacle-prone operating scenario. At this time, the radiator skid plate assembly needs to be adjusted to a higher second working position to ensure sufficient ground clearance even when encountering obstacles, avoiding collisions with obstacles and protecting the vehicle chassis and cooling system from damage.

[0059] It should be noted that by utilizing various sensors on the vehicle, such as radar, lidar, and cameras, the system monitors obstacle information on the road ahead in real time, including the type of obstacle (such as pedestrians, stationary vehicles, road bumps), size (height, width, etc.), and relative position (distance, angle, etc.). This provides a more precise radiator skid plate height control strategy, dynamically adjusting the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate according to the actual situation of obstacles on the road ahead, significantly improving the vehicle's active safety protection capabilities and fuel economy.

[0060] Based on steps S211 to S212, the vehicle's driving environment can be identified more accurately, and the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly can be adjusted adaptively. By avoiding unnecessary collisions with obstacles, the wear and damage of the radiator skid plate assembly can be reduced, extending its service life. This reduces vehicle maintenance costs and improves vehicle driving safety and economy under various road conditions.

[0061] Optionally, the working positions include a first working position where the water tank liner assembly is at a ground clearance of a first preset value and a second working position where the water tank liner assembly is at a ground clearance of a second preset value, wherein the first preset value is less than the second preset value. Based on the operating scenario, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0062] Step S213: In response to the fourth operating scenario, a fourth target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The fourth target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the first working position.

[0063] In step S213, when the vehicle is traveling on a straight, unobstructed road (fourth operating scenario), a fourth target control strategy is generated. This strategy instructs the radiator skid plate assembly to move to a first working position (lower ground clearance). The purpose of this strategy is to reduce wind resistance and improve fuel economy while ensuring basic protective functions. In the absence of obstacles and adverse weather conditions, a lower ground clearance for the radiator skid plate reduces air resistance, thereby reducing energy consumption and significantly improving vehicle driving efficiency and reducing operating costs.

[0064] Step S214: In response to the fifth operating scenario, a fifth target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The fifth target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the second working position.

[0065] In step S214, when the system detects that the vehicle is traveling in adverse road conditions (such as mud, potholes, or rough terrain) or severe weather conditions (such as heavy rain, snow, or sandstorms), the fifth target control strategy will be activated, controlling the radiator skid plate assembly to move to the second working position, i.e., a higher ground clearance. In complex road conditions and severe weather, a higher ground clearance of the radiator skid plate provides more comprehensive protection, avoiding direct collisions with ground obstacles or splashes, protecting the vehicle's underside, especially the cooling system and engine oil pan, reducing the risk of damage, and improving driving safety.

[0066] It should be noted that the first working position has a lower ground clearance (first preset value), suitable for obstacle-free scenarios, such as straight sections of highways or urban roads; the second working position has a higher ground clearance (second preset value), suitable for scenarios with obstacles that need to be avoided, such as off-road tracks, muddy surfaces, or road sections with bumps. Because the first preset value is lower than the second preset value, the system can intelligently select the most suitable working position based on the current operating scenario of the vehicle.

[0067] Based on steps S213 to S214, by refining the operating scenarios and intelligently adjusting the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly, optimal protection and performance are provided for the vehicle under different driving conditions, achieving safe, efficient, and intelligent vehicle operation. Intelligently adjusting the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly according to real-time road conditions reduces the driver's workload, especially in complex road conditions, avoiding the need for frequent adjustments to the skid plate height, making driving easier and improving passenger comfort.

[0068] Optionally, the weather information includes at least one of the following: temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover, visibility, and weather conditions. Based on the operational information, determining the operating scenario of the target vehicle also includes:

[0069] Step S221: In response to the weather information meeting the sixth preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined as the sixth operating scenario, which is used to characterize non-severe weather scenarios.

[0070] In step S221, when the weather information meets the preset non-adverse conditions (i.e., the sixth preset condition), such as suitable temperature, moderate humidity, no rainfall, low wind speed, good visibility, and sunny weather, the system identifies the vehicle's driving environment as a non-adverse weather scenario. In this scenario, the radiator skid plate assembly can remain in the first working position to balance protection and fuel economy requirements.

[0071] Step S222: In response to the weather information meeting the seventh preset condition, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined to be the seventh operating scenario, which is used to characterize severe weather scenarios.

[0072] In step S222, if the weather information indicates that the vehicle is traveling under severe weather conditions (i.e., the seventh preset condition), such as extreme temperature changes, high humidity, heavy rainfall, strong winds, low visibility, blizzards, sandstorms, etc., the system will determine that the vehicle is in a severe weather scenario. At this time, the radiator skid plate assembly needs to be adjusted to the second working position to prevent accidental impacts caused by weather factors such as strong winds or hail, protecting the vehicle's cooling system and chassis. In addition, in situations of low visibility or slippery road surfaces, a higher radiator skid plate height from the ground can reduce contact with road surface water, preventing water splashes from causing corrosion or damage to the vehicle's undercarriage.

[0073] It should be noted that sensors inside and outside the vehicle, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, rainfall sensors, wind speed and direction sensors, cloud cover and visibility monitoring equipment, are used to collect and analyze weather information in real time. This information includes, but is not limited to, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover, visibility and overall weather conditions, providing comprehensive meteorological data support for the system.

[0074] Based on steps S221 to S222, the operating scenario of the target vehicle is determined through the analysis and application of the weather information mentioned above. This allows for further adjustment of the working position of the water tank guard assembly according to different operating scenarios, which not only improves the vehicle's driving safety and fuel economy in adverse weather conditions but also enhances the driving experience, demonstrating the advanced nature of intelligent vehicle technology in terms of safety protection and environmental adaptability.

[0075] Optionally, the working positions include a first working position where the water tank liner assembly is at a ground clearance of a first preset value and a second working position where the water tank liner assembly is at a ground clearance of a second preset value, wherein the first preset value is less than the second preset value. Based on the operating scenario, a target control strategy set is generated, including:

[0076] Step S223: In response to the running scenario being the sixth running scenario, a sixth target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The sixth target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the first working position.

[0077] In step S223, when the operating information indicates that the vehicle is in the sixth operating scenario, the system generates a sixth target control strategy. This strategy moves the radiator skid plate assembly to the first working position, i.e., a lower ground clearance. The execution of this strategy helps optimize aerodynamic performance under smooth driving conditions, reduce wind resistance, and improve the vehicle's fuel efficiency and driving stability.

[0078] Step S224: In response to the seventh operating scenario, a seventh target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The seventh target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard assembly of the target vehicle to move to the second working position.

[0079] In step S224, if the operating information indicates that the vehicle is traveling in the seventh operating scenario, i.e., encountering severe weather conditions, the system generates and executes the seventh target control strategy. This strategy moves the radiator skid plate assembly to the second working position, i.e., a higher ground clearance, to ensure sufficient passability for the vehicle in complex road conditions, while protecting the vehicle's bottom from damage, thereby improving safety and reliability during driving.

[0080] It should be noted that the first preset value defines a lower ground clearance for the radiator skid plate assembly, which is activated in the sixth operating scenario. The sixth operating scenario typically refers to a smooth driving state under flat, unobstructed, and non-adverse weather conditions. In this scenario, the radiator skid plate assembly is close to the ground, which helps reduce air resistance and improve fuel economy. Furthermore, in the absence of ground obstacles or adverse weather conditions, the lower ground clearance does not increase the risk of collision. The second preset value sets a higher ground clearance for the radiator skid plate assembly, applicable to the seventh operating scenario, i.e., when encountering rough roads, mud, potholes, or other adverse road conditions, or severe weather (such as heavy rain, snow, or sandstorms). In the seventh operating scenario, the radiator skid plate assembly is raised to the second operating position, ensuring sufficient ground clearance for the vehicle's undercarriage, avoiding direct contact with ground obstacles, improving vehicle passability and chassis protection performance, reducing damage caused by adverse road conditions or weather conditions, and enhancing safety.

[0081] Based on steps S223 to S224, by associating the ground clearance of the water tank guard assembly with different operating scenarios, the present invention can automatically adjust the protection height of the water tank guard according to real-time road conditions and weather information, thereby achieving dynamic optimization of vehicle performance and protection effect, and improving the vehicle's fuel economy, driving stability and safety.

[0082] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0083] Step S231: Obtain the operating condition information of the target vehicle, wherein the operating condition information includes at least one of the following: vehicle speed information, acceleration information, and braking trigger frequency.

[0084] In step S231, the system automatically collects and analyzes the real-time operating information of the target vehicle, including but not limited to vehicle speed, acceleration, and braking trigger frequency. This information reflects the vehicle's current operating status and the driver's operating mode, and is an important basis for judging driving style and determining the location of the radiator skid plate assembly.

[0085] Step S232: Based on the vehicle speed information and operation information in the operation information, determine the driving style of the target vehicle. The driving style includes: aggressive driving style and stable driving style.

[0086] In step S232, based on the collected vehicle speed and operation information, the system can identify the driver's driving style. If the vehicle speed changes frequently and rapidly, the acceleration and deceleration are large, and the braking trigger frequency is high, the system will determine that the driving style is aggressive. Conversely, if the vehicle speed is relatively stable, the acceleration and deceleration are small, and the braking trigger frequency is low, the driving style will be determined to be stable.

[0087] Step S233: Based on driving style, control the target vehicle's radiator skid plate assembly to move to a preset position.

[0088] In step S233, for an aggressive driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly can be adjusted to the second operating position (higher ground clearance). This is because aggressive driving often involves higher speeds and sudden acceleration or deceleration, making the vehicle more prone to encountering unforeseen obstacles during operation. A higher ground clearance helps protect the vehicle's undercarriage and reduces the risk of collisions. For a stable driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly can be adjusted to the first operating position (lower ground clearance). Stable driving typically means the vehicle operates in a smooth state; a lower ground clearance helps reduce air resistance, improve fuel economy, and also reduce unnecessary wear.

[0089] Based on steps S231 to S232, this invention can intelligently adjust the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly according to the driver's driving style and the vehicle's real-time operating status. Under an aggressive driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly will be raised to a higher position to increase bottom protection and avoid potential collision damage; under a stable driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly will be lowered to a lower position to reduce air resistance and improve fuel efficiency. This driving style-based radiator skid plate assembly control strategy not only significantly improves vehicle driving safety and economy but also reflects the advancements in intelligent vehicle technology in personalized driving experience and environmental adaptability.

[0090] Optionally, the working position includes a first working position where the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly is a first preset value and a second working position where the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly is a second preset value, wherein the first preset value is less than the second preset value. Based on driving style, controlling the radiator skid plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the preset position further includes:

[0091] In step S234, in response to the driving style being a stable driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly of the target vehicle is moved to the first working position.

[0092] In step S234, in response to the stable driving style determined by system analysis—that is, the vehicle speed is relatively stable, acceleration and deceleration are small, and braking trigger frequency is low—the system controls the radiator skid plate assembly to move to the first working position (lower ground clearance). In stable driving mode, a lower ground clearance of the radiator skid plate helps reduce wind resistance during vehicle operation, thereby improving fuel economy. Simultaneously, because the driving style is relatively gentle, the risk of hitting obstacles is relatively low, thus this position also ensures sufficient protection, achieving a balance between performance and protection.

[0093] In step S235, in response to the driving style being aggressive, the target vehicle's radiator skid plate assembly is moved to the second working position.

[0094] In step S235, when the system detects an aggressive driving style, i.e., frequent and rapid changes in vehicle speed, large acceleration and deceleration, and high braking trigger frequency, the system adjusts the radiator skid plate assembly to the second working position (higher ground clearance). Under an aggressive driving style, the vehicle may encounter more unforeseen obstacles during acceleration, deceleration, and cornering, such as flying stones and protruding road surfaces. The higher ground clearance can effectively prevent these obstacles from damaging the radiator skid plate assembly and components such as the engine oil pan below it, while ensuring the vehicle's passability and safety during aggressive driving, reducing the risk of chassis damage, and improving driving safety.

[0095] Based on steps S234 to S235, the ground clearance of the radiator skid plate assembly is intelligently adjusted by monitoring and identifying the driver's driving style to adapt to the vehicle protection needs under different driving habits. During a stable driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly is positioned close to the ground to optimize fuel economy; during an aggressive driving style, the radiator skid plate assembly is raised to a higher position to provide stronger protection and better off-road capability, ensuring the vehicle's safety and reliability under intense driving conditions.

[0109] Step S223: In response to the running scenario being the sixth running scenario, a sixth target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The sixth target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard plate assembly of the target vehicle to move to the first working position.

[0110] Step S224: In response to the seventh operating scenario, a seventh target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The seventh target control strategy is used to control the water tank guard assembly of the target vehicle to move to the second working position.
