Map navigation information is collected via 5G communications and the Beidou navigation system; real-time traffic information is obtained through communication with traffic lights, cameras, and weather stations in roadside units; and vehicle status information is obtained through communication with the vehicle's control system and power supply system. This multi-source data integration improves the accuracy and real-time nature of driving decisions and provides reliable foundational data for subsequent algorithm logic.

[0019] S2: The data processing module reads and calculates the traffic light status, curve angle, regenerative braking intensity, and controlled vehicle speed in autonomous driving based on the pre-processed data, converts them into corresponding control instructions, and sends them to the data output module.

[0021] S2.2: The data processing module calculates the regenerative braking intensity during the vehicle's deceleration and downhill phases in autonomous driving based on traffic light status and curve angle. Especially during deceleration phases (such as approaching traffic lights or curves) and downhill, regenerative braking maximizes energy recovery efficiency, converting gravitational potential energy into electrical energy. This not only significantly improves energy recovery efficiency, but also extends vehicle range and reduces energy waste.

The acceleration speed is used to properly control acceleration based on the speed limit and the distance to the vehicle ahead, avoiding energy waste. The cruising speed is used to maintain an economical speed on straight or smooth roads. By dividing the speed into stages, refined speed control is achieved, improving driving efficiency and energy utilization.

[0023] S2.4: The data processing module generates corresponding control instructions based on the traffic light status, curve angle, regenerative braking intensity, vehicle starting speed, acceleration speed, and cruising speed, and sends them to the data output module.

[0024] S3: The data output module controls the throttle, brake, and steering actuators according to control commands. This ensures that the driving strategy quickly responds to environmental changes and enhances the overall intelligent driving system.

[0025] A control device using a control method for automatic vehicle driving, comprising: The data input module is used to integrate and clean the read map navigation information, real-time traffic information, and vehicle status information according to the driving purpose by removing noise data and supplementing missing data to obtain pre-processed data; Map navigation information includes traffic light locations, curve angles, and ramp gradients. Real-time road condition information includes traffic flow, speed limits, and information about obstacles and accidents ahead.
