Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent connected vehicles, and more specifically, to an intelligent obstacle avoidance method and system based on intelligent connected vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the rapid increase in the number of vehicles, the incidence of traffic accidents has also risen accordingly. Among these accidents, a considerable proportion are caused by drivers' failure to detect obstacles in time or to take appropriate measures to avoid them. Traditional vehicles rely on the driver's visual, auditory, and other sensory abilities, as well as reaction speed, to identify and avoid obstacles on the road. However, this reliance on human drivers has certain limitations, such as limited visibility at night and slowed reaction time due to driver fatigue.

[0003] In recent years, the development of intelligent connected vehicle technology has provided new ideas and technical means to solve the above problems. Intelligent connected vehicles can not only perceive the surrounding environment in real time through onboard sensors (such as radar, lidar, cameras, etc.), but also exchange information with other vehicles, infrastructure and other traffic participants through vehicle networking technology, so as to achieve more accurate environmental perception and decision support.

[0004] Despite significant progress in intelligent obstacle avoidance technology, complex and ever-changing real-world road conditions and different driving scenarios (such as urban roads, highways, and adverse weather conditions) place higher demands on obstacle avoidance algorithms, and these demands vary from scenario to scenario. However, most existing obstacle avoidance algorithms tend to simplify the process or are only optimized for specific situations, making them inadequate when dealing with complex and ever-changing traffic environments.

[0005] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0064] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent obstacle avoidance method based on intelligent connected vehicles according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0065] S1. Collect multimodal environmental data, construct a three-dimensional environmental map using point cloud fusion technology, and determine the location information of the intelligent connected vehicle in the three-dimensional environmental map through a multi-sensor fusion positioning algorithm.

[0066] Preferably, the process of collecting multimodal environmental data, constructing a three-dimensional environmental map using point cloud fusion technology, and determining the location information of the intelligent connected vehicle in the three-dimensional environmental map using a multi-sensor fusion positioning algorithm includes:

[0067] S11. Collect multimodal environmental data through several types of sensors, and perform noise reduction, correction and spatiotemporal alignment processing on the multimodal environmental data;

[0068] S12. Extract point cloud features from the processed multimodal environment data, and use point cloud fusion technology to perform multi-frame registration and global optimization in order to construct a three-dimensional environment map.

[0069] S13. Based on the initial pose information, Kalman filtering is used to fuse multimodal environmental data, and a multi-sensor fusion positioning algorithm is used to perform real-time map matching to determine the real-time location information of the intelligent connected vehicle in the three-dimensional environment map.

[0070] S2. Based on the constructed 3D environment map, deep learning algorithms are used to identify the spatial distribution of static obstacles and the motion characteristics of dynamic obstacles, and neural networks are used to predict the motion trajectory of dynamic obstacles.

[0071] Preferably, based on the constructed 3D environment map, deep learning algorithms are used to identify the spatial distribution of static obstacles and the motion characteristics of dynamic obstacles, and neural networks are used to predict the motion trajectory of dynamic obstacles, including:

[0072] S21. Based on the constructed 3D environment map, the point cloud data is preliminarily processed using the point cloud semantic segmentation algorithm in deep learning to distinguish different categories of static obstacles.

[0073] S22. Use the Euclidean clustering algorithm to perform secondary processing on the preliminary processing results to generate static obstacle point cloud clusters containing semantic labels and obtain the spatial distribution of static obstacles.

[0074] S23. Apply target detection algorithms to point cloud data to detect and classify dynamic obstacles, and combine spatiotemporal convolutional networks to extract the motion features of dynamic obstacles.

[0075] S24. Construct a multi-task learning framework, combine the motion characteristics and time series data of dynamic obstacles, and use neural networks to predict the motion trajectory of dynamic obstacles.

[0076] It should be further explained that, based on the constructed 3D environment map, a specific implementation example of using deep learning algorithms to identify the spatial distribution of static obstacles and the motion characteristics of dynamic obstacles, and using neural networks to predict the motion trajectory of dynamic obstacles, is as follows:

[0077] 1. Use LiDAR to collect point clouds of roads in the park, label 10 types of static obstacles (such as curbs, traffic cones, and parking bollards), and use PointNet++ for semantic segmentation. The input point cloud density is 0.1m. 3The algorithm outputs the category label for each point; it applies KD-Tree to accelerate neighborhood search for similar point clouds, setting the search radius r = 0.5m; it recursively merges points that meet the distance threshold to generate point cloud clusters, calculates the centroid and bounding box size of each cluster, and achieves an average clustering time of 0.23 seconds / frame (100,000 point clouds) and a clustering accuracy of 91.5% (compared to manual annotation). For example: Cluster 1 (traffic cone), centroid (3.2, 1.5, 0), bounding box size (0.8m, 0.8m, 2.0m); Cluster 2 (curb), centroid (-1.0, -2.3, 0), bounding box size (5.0m, 0.3m, 0.2m).

[0078] 2. Point clouds are converted into pseudo images (resolution 0.16 m2 / pixel) using PointPillars, and features are extracted using the ResNet-18 backbone network to detect dynamic targets such as pedestrians and vehicles. Combine three consecutive frames of point clouds and calculate velocity and acceleration through spatiotemporal convolution. The velocity estimation error does not exceed 0.3 m / s (compared to the true GPS value).

[0079] 3. LSTM encoding of the dynamic target's historical trajectory (5 seconds, 10Hz) is used. A branch network predicts the target's position in the next 3 seconds (regression task) and classifies its behavior (e.g., going straight, turning). Smooth L1 Loss is used for position prediction, and cross-entropy loss is used for behavior classification. The average displacement error is 0.52m (3-second prediction), and the final displacement error is 1.03m (3-second prediction). For example, a logistics channel in a park (100m long, 8m wide) contains the following obstacles: static (curb, traffic cones), dynamic (pedestrian speed 1m / s, forklift speed 2m / s). Static obstacle avoidance involves identifying the curb 15 meters in advance and adjusting the path deviation to ≤0.2m. Dynamic obstacle avoidance involves predicting the position of a suddenly cutting forklift 3 seconds later, planning a detour trajectory, and maintaining a minimum safe distance of 1.5m.

[0080] S3. Based on the location information of the intelligent connected vehicle, the spatial distribution of static obstacles, and the predicted trajectory of dynamic obstacles, an obstacle avoidance path is generated using a path planning algorithm. The obstacle avoidance path is then optimized by combining multi-dimensional scene parameters to obtain an obstacle avoidance strategy.

[0081] Preferably, based on the location information of the intelligent connected vehicle, the spatial distribution of static obstacles, and the predicted trajectory of dynamic obstacles, an obstacle avoidance path is generated using a path planning algorithm. This path is then optimized using multi-dimensional scene parameters to obtain an obstacle avoidance strategy, including:

[0082] S31. Based on the spatial distribution of static obstacles, obtain the expansion area of ​​static obstacles and set the corresponding safe distance threshold.

[0083] Preferably, based on the spatial distribution of static obstacles, the expansion region of the static obstacles is obtained, and a corresponding safe distance threshold is set, including:

[0084] S311. Based on the spatial distribution of static obstacles, the point cloud data of static obstacles is reconstructed into a triangular mesh model, and the triangular mesh model is discretized.

[0085] S312. Based on the discretization results, calculate the shortest distance from each triangular mesh vertex to the static obstacle, and establish a symbolic distance field;

[0086] S313. Based on the established symbolic distance field, segmentation is performed using a preset distance threshold to define the area within a preset range of the static obstacle as the expansion region.

[0087] S314. Set the corresponding safety distance threshold according to the expansion area and the specifications and dimensions of the intelligent connected vehicle.

[0088] S32. Based on the expansion region and the safety distance threshold, the three-dimensional environment map is divided into different regions to construct a static obstacle constraint map.

[0089] Preferably, the different areas include: free areas, restricted areas, and restricted areas.

[0090] S33. Using the location information of the intelligent connected vehicle as the starting point and the target location as the ending point, and combining the static obstacle constraint diagram, the A* algorithm is used to perform path planning and generate a global path.

[0091] S34. Using the predicted trajectory of dynamic obstacles as a local time-varying constraint, the global path is locally reconstructed using the fast extended random tree algorithm to generate an obstacle avoidance path.

[0092] Preferably, the predicted trajectory of dynamic obstacles is used as a local time-varying constraint, and the global path is locally reconstructed using a fast expanding random tree algorithm to generate an obstacle avoidance path, including:

[0093] S341. Based on the predicted trajectory of the dynamic obstacle, the four-dimensional space is rasterized and the dynamic obstacle is assigned a spatiotemporal occupancy probability to construct a spatiotemporal occupancy map.

[0094] S342. Combining the spatiotemporal occupancy graph with the fast expanding random tree algorithm, the global path is expanded, and the spatiotemporal occupancy probability of the newly expanded node to the global path is queried through collision detection.

[0095] S343. Based on the collision detection results, calculate the overlap between the global path and the predicted trajectory of the dynamic obstacle, and determine whether local path reconstruction is needed by combining the preset overlap threshold.

[0096] It should be noted that the formula for calculating overlap is:

[0097]

[0098] In the formula, D represents the overlap between the global path and the predicted trajectory of dynamic obstacles; N represents the total number of dynamic obstacles; and k represents the index value. Indicates the end of time; δ represents the starting point of time; δ represents the indicator function; Path(t) represents the spatial position of the global path at time t; μ i (t) represents the spatiotemporal region occupied by the i-th dynamic obstacle at time t; t represents the time variable; P represents the empty set; occ (t) represents the spatiotemporal occupancy probability of a dynamic obstacle at time t; T total This represents the total effective time span of the predicted trajectory for dynamic obstacles.

[0099] S344. If the overlap is not less than the preset overlap threshold, local path reconstruction is triggered to generate a new local path, which is then spliced ​​with the global path to generate an obstacle avoidance path; otherwise, the global path is retained and an obstacle avoidance path is generated.

[0100] S35. Obtain multi-dimensional scene parameters through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, and use fuzzy logic reasoning algorithm to map the multi-dimensional scene parameters into path optimization indicators. Adjust the spatiotemporal parameters of the obstacle avoidance path based on the path optimization indicators to generate an obstacle avoidance strategy.

[0101] It should be further explained that, based on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology (5G+V2X network communication technology), connecting vehicles and road-vehicle units, and coordinating vehicle-road collaboration in the connected environment perception stage, it supports vehicles to obtain more information than single-vehicle intelligent perception, such as non-line-of-sight perception or solving problems such as susceptibility to adverse environmental conditions; and coordinating in the computing and decision-making stage, it increases the systematic decision-making between vehicles and roads, such as solving vehicle priority management and traffic intersection optimization control.

[0102] S4. Construct a hierarchical simulation framework and establish a coupled model in the digital twin platform. Use model predictive control to conduct obstacle avoidance tests and optimize the obstacle avoidance strategy based on the simulation test results.

[0103] Preferably, a hierarchical simulation framework is constructed, and a coupled model is established in the digital twin platform.

[0105] S42. In the digital twin simulation platform, based on the hierarchical simulation framework, construct a coupled model of intelligent connected vehicles and the environment, and define the control input of the coupled model.

[0106] S43. Based on the coupled model, the model predictive control algorithm is used to track the obstacle avoidance trajectory of intelligent connected vehicles, and simulation tests are carried out in several different scenarios.

[0107] Preferably, based on the coupled model, a model predictive control algorithm is used to track the obstacle avoidance trajectory of the intelligent connected vehicle, and simulation tests are conducted in several different scenarios, including:

[0110] S433. Based on the optimal control input, execute obstacle avoidance strategies in simulation scenarios with different loads, perform obstacle avoidance trajectory tracking, and record performance data in each simulation process.

[0111] S44. By analyzing the simulation test results, the obstacle avoidance strategy is evaluated. Based on the evaluation results, the obstacle avoidance strategy is optimized using a reinforcement learning algorithm.

[0112] It should be added that one method for intelligent obstacle avoidance based on intelligent connected vehicles is to develop intelligent connected vehicles in limited areas and specific scenarios, and to develop cost-effective and feasible intelligent driving vehicles that are suitable for different application scenarios such as parks and factories.
