Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment, and program product for adaptive adjustment of vehicle warning volume. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some vehicles emit warning sounds when driving at low speeds, reversing, turning, or experiencing emergency malfunctions to alert other road users to the vehicle's movements. However, traditional solutions mostly use warning sounds at a fixed volume, without considering the impact of environmental noise. This results in poor warning effectiveness in construction zones and noisy areas. Blindly increasing the warning volume may cause discomfort to other road users.

[0003] The above problems urgently need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least partially solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle warning volume adaptive adjustment method. This method determines the corresponding warning volume range based on the current warning type, and optimizes the warning volume value within the warning volume range based on a multi-objective decision model to maximize the warning recognition probability and minimize the probability of auditory discomfort. This achieves accurate adaptation of the warning volume to the vehicle's surrounding environment, takes into account the recognizability of the warning sound and the auditory experience of other road users, improves the accuracy of vehicle warning volume adjustment, and ensures road traffic safety.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle warning volume adaptive adjustment device.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of the present invention include: On one hand, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for adaptive adjustment of vehicle warning volume, comprising the following steps: The current vehicle status, current driving scenario, current ambient noise level, and status of road users outside the target vehicle are obtained. The current warning type is determined based on the current vehicle status, and the corresponding warning volume range is determined based on the current warning type; A multi-objective decision model is constructed with the optimization objectives of maximizing the probability of warning recognition and minimizing the probability of auditory discomfort.

The sample environmental noise volume, the sample road participant status, and the sample warning volume are input into an initialized gradient boosting decision tree to obtain the predicted probability of auditory discomfort. The residual value is determined based on the predicted probability of auditory discomfort and the label of the probability of auditory discomfort; Train a target decision tree to fit the residual values, and update the gradient boosting decision tree based on the target decision tree; When the number of iterations exceeds a preset threshold or the residual value is lower than a preset residual threshold, training stops, and the current gradient boosting decision tree is used as the trained sub-model for predicting the probability of auditory discomfort.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 This invention provides a method for adaptive adjustment of vehicle warning volume, specifically including the following steps: S101. Obtain the current vehicle status, current driving scenario, current ambient noise level, and status of road users outside the target vehicle. S102. Determine the current warning type based on the current vehicle status, and determine the corresponding warning volume range based on the current warning type; S103. Construct a multi-objective decision-making model with the optimization objectives of maximizing the probability of warning recognition and minimizing the probability of auditory discomfort, and determine the optimal warning volume value within the warning volume range based on the multi-objective decision-making model. S104. Adjust the current warning volume of the target vehicle according to the optimal warning volume value; The multi-objective decision-making model includes a warning recognition probability prediction sub-model, an auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model, and a multi-objective optimization function. The warning recognition probability prediction sub-model is used to predict the warning recognition probability corresponding to different warning volume values ​​by combining the current ambient noise volume and the state of road participants. The auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model is used to predict the auditory discomfort probability corresponding to different warning volume values ​​by combining the current ambient noise volume and the state of road participants. The multi-objective optimization function is used to perform a weighted summation of the warning recognition probability and the auditory discomfort probability according to the dynamic weight coefficient to obtain the priority score corresponding to different warning volume values. The dynamic weight coefficient is determined according to the current driving scenario.

[0028] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the corresponding warning volume range is determined based on the current warning type. Based on the multi-objective decision model, the optimal warning volume value is obtained within the warning volume range to maximize the warning recognition probability and minimize the probability of auditory discomfort. This achieves accurate adaptation of the warning volume to the vehicle's surrounding environment, takes into account the recognizability of the warning sound and the auditory experience of other road users, improves the accuracy of vehicle warning volume adjustment, and ensures road traffic safety.

[0029] As a further optional implementation, the current vehicle status, current driving scenario, current ambient noise level, and status of road users outside the target vehicle are obtained, specifically including: S1011. Obtain the current vehicle status through vehicle body control; S1012. Obtain road image information around the target vehicle through the vehicle-mounted camera device, obtain radar detection information around the target vehicle through the vehicle-mounted radar device, and obtain the current ambient noise volume through the light sensor. S1013. Identify the current driving scenario based on road image information; S1014. Identify several road participants outside the target vehicle based on road image information, and determine the position, speed and attitude of each road participant based on radar detection information to obtain the road participant status.

[0030] Specifically, the current vehicle status, including vehicle speed, accelerator pedal travel, brake pedal travel, steering wheel angle, and battery parameters, is obtained through the vehicle controller to determine the type of vehicle warning to be triggered. Based on road image information, scenarios such as urban roads, highways, tunnels, and rural roads are identified, and the scene granularity is refined by combining vehicle speed and traffic density to obtain the current driving scenario. The ambient noise level is collected in real time through noise monitoring sensors outside the vehicle. Based on road image information, the participant types (motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians) of several road participants are identified, and then the position, speed, and attitude of each road participant are determined by combining radar detection information. If necessary, V2X communication data can be used to supplement the information to finally obtain the status of road participants around the target vehicle.

[0031] As a further optional implementation, the current warning type is determined based on the current vehicle status, and the corresponding warning volume range is determined based on the current warning type, specifically including: S1021. Determine the current warning type based on the current vehicle status and preset vehicle warning rules; S1022. Determine the corresponding standard value and volume fluctuation ratio of the current warning volume based on the current warning type; S1023. Determine the warning volume range based on the standard warning volume value and the volume fluctuation ratio.

[0032] Specifically, based on the vehicle status and preset vehicle warning rules, the corresponding warning type is matched. For example: when the vehicle is in reverse gear and no nearby obstacle is detected, a regular reversing warning is triggered; when the vehicle is in reverse gear and the radar detects an obstacle within 3 meters, a reversing warning is triggered; when the vehicle's turn signal is activated and the vehicle speed is below 30 km / h, a low-speed turning warning is triggered; when the vehicle's turn signal is activated and the vehicle speed is above 30 km / h, a high-speed turning warning is triggered; when the vehicle is driving in a residential area or school zone and the vehicle speed is below 20 km / h, a pedestrian alert warning is triggered. For each type of warning, there are pre-set basic standard values ​​and fluctuation rules. For example, the standard volume value for the reversing regular warning is 60 decibels, with a fluctuation ratio of ±15%; the standard volume value for the reversing warning is 70 decibels, with a fluctuation ratio of ±20%; the standard volume value for the low-speed turning warning is 65 decibels, with a fluctuation ratio of ±10%; the standard volume value for the high-speed turning warning is 75 decibels, with a fluctuation ratio of ±10%; and the standard volume value for the pedestrian warning is 55 decibels, with a fluctuation ratio of ±15%.

[0033] Based on standard values ​​and fluctuation ratios, the specific volume ranges for each warning type are calculated as follows: the volume range for the standard reversing warning is 51 to 69 dB; the volume range for the reversing warning is 56 to 84 dB; the volume range for the low-speed turning warning is 58.5 to 71.5 dB; the volume range for the high-speed turning warning is 67.5 to 82.5 dB; the volume range for the pedestrian warning is 46.75 to 63.25 dB; and the volume range for the silent mode warning is 40.5 to 49.5 dB.

[0034] As a further optional implementation, the optimal warning volume value is determined within the warning volume range based on a multi-objective decision-making model, specifically including: S1031. Determine the corresponding volume interval step size according to the current driving scenario, and determine multiple alternative warning volume values ​​based on the volume interval step size and the warning volume range. S1032. Input the current ambient noise level, the status of road participants and the alternative warning volume values ​​into the pre-trained warning recognition probability prediction sub-model to obtain the warning recognition probability corresponding to the alternative warning volume values. S1033. Input the current ambient noise volume, the status of road participants, and the alternative warning volume values ​​into the pre-trained auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model to obtain the auditory discomfort probability corresponding to the alternative warning volume values. S1034. Based on the multi-objective optimization function, the warning recognition probability and the hearing discomfort probability are weighted and summed according to the warning recognition weight and the hearing discomfort weight to obtain the priority score corresponding to the candidate warning volume value. S1035. Determine the candidate warning volume value with the highest priority score as the optimal warning volume value.

[0035] Specifically, the corresponding volume interval step size is determined based on the current driving scenario. Considering that human hearing is most sensitive to volume changes of 3-5 decibels, and taking into account the noise environment of different scenarios, the following step size rules are set: In quiet scenarios (nighttime residential areas, rural roads, hospital / school access roads), the volume interval step size is set to 2 decibels; in normal urban scenarios (city roads, ordinary streets), the volume interval step size is set to 3 decibels; in noisy scenarios (traffic congestion, construction areas, highway driving), the volume interval step size is set to 5 decibels; and in emergency scenarios (sudden appearance of obstacles, pedestrians entering the lane), the volume interval step size is set to 8 decibels. A larger volume interval step size reduces the computational load of the multi-objective decision-making model, thus enabling more timely adjustment of the warning volume.

[0036] It should be noted that when the ambient noise suddenly changes (such as driving from a city road into a construction area), the system will automatically switch the corresponding step size rule within 1 second. When the state of the person being alerted changes (such as changing from looking at the vehicle to being distracted), the system will automatically increase the step size by 1-2 steps from the current alternative values. When the vehicle is driving in a mixed scene (such as a construction area next to a city road), the system will take the average step size of the scene (such as 3+5=8 / 2=4 dB) as the temporary step size.

[0037] Multiple alternative warning volume values ​​are determined based on the volume interval step and the warning volume range. For example, for the volume range of 51 dB to 69 dB for the regular reversing warning, if the volume interval step is 2 dB, then 51 / 53 / 55 / 57 / 59 / 61 / 63 / 65 / 67 / 69 dB can be taken as alternative warning volume values. If the volume interval step is 3 dB, then 51 / 54 / 57 / 60 / 63 / 66 / 69 dB can be taken as alternative warning volume values.

[0038] The current ambient noise level, the status of road users, and the alternative warning volume values ​​are input into pre-trained warning recognition probability prediction sub-models and auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-models, respectively, to obtain the warning recognition probability and auditory discomfort probability corresponding to the alternative warning volume values. Then, the warning recognition probability and auditory discomfort probability are input into a multi-objective optimization function, and the priority score corresponding to the alternative warning volume value is calculated by combining the warning recognition weight and auditory discomfort weight determined according to the current driving scenario. Finally, the alternative warning volume value with the highest priority score is determined as the optimal warning volume value.

[0039] As an optional implementation, the multi-objective optimization function is:

[0040] in, Indicates priority score, and These represent the probability of warning recognition and the probability of auditory discomfort, respectively. and These represent the warning recognition weight and auditory discomfort weight determined based on the current driving scenario, respectively. .

[0041] Specifically, the optimization objective of the multi-objective optimization function in this embodiment of the invention is to maximize the priority score of the warning volume value. The priority score is positively correlated with the warning recognition probability and negatively correlated with the probability of auditory discomfort. Therefore, it can balance the recognizability of the warning sound with the auditory experience of other road users, achieving a balance between the two. The priority of the two objectives, warning recognition weight and auditory discomfort weight, can be flexibly adjusted according to different scenarios. For example, in quiet scenarios, more emphasis is placed on auditory comfort, while in emergency scenarios, more emphasis is placed on the warning recognition rate. For instance, in emergency scenarios, the warning recognition weight is 0.8, and the auditory discomfort weight is -0.2; in quiet scenarios, the warning recognition weight is 0.4, and the auditory discomfort weight is -0.6.

[0042] The warning recognition probability prediction sub-model and the auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model in this embodiment of the invention can both be implemented using various prediction models. For example, a neural network model can be used to fit the mapping relationship between ambient noise volume, road participant status, and warning volume value and the warning recognition probability and auditory discomfort probability. Alternatively, a gradient boosting decision tree can be used to fit the warning recognition probability and auditory discomfort probability under different combinations of variables such as ambient noise volume, road participant status, and warning volume value, ultimately obtaining the warning recognition probability prediction sub-model and the auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model. The training process of the warning recognition probability prediction sub-model and the auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model will be explained below using neural network models and gradient boosting decision trees as examples, respectively.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the warning recognition probability prediction sub-model is trained through the following steps: S201. Obtain the ambient noise volume, participant status, and warning volume of the sample road in the test scenario, and determine the corresponding warning recognition probability label through manual annotation. S202. Input the sample environmental noise volume, the sample road participant status, and the sample warning volume into a pre-built convolutional neural network to obtain the predicted warning recognition probability. S203. Determine the loss value based on the predicted warning recognition probability and the warning recognition probability label; S204. Update the parameters of the convolutional neural network based on the loss value using the backpropagation algorithm to obtain the trained warning recognition probability prediction sub-model.

[0044] Specifically, the system acquires sample ambient noise levels, sample road participant states, and sample warning volumes in the test scenario. It then statistically analyzes the warning recognition performance of each road participant in the scenario to determine the warning recognition probability label. After acquiring a sufficient number of training samples, the sample ambient noise levels, sample road participant states, and sample warning volumes are input into a pre-built convolutional neural network to obtain the predicted warning recognition probability. The loss value is determined based on the predicted warning recognition probability and the warning recognition probability label. The parameters of the convolutional neural network are updated using the backpropagation algorithm based on the loss value, completing one iteration of training. Training stops when the number of iterations reaches a preset threshold or the loss value falls below the preset threshold, resulting in a well-trained warning recognition probability prediction sub-model.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model is trained through the following steps: S301. Obtain the ambient noise volume, participant status, and warning volume of the sample road in the test scenario, and determine the corresponding auditory discomfort probability label through manual annotation. S302. Input the sample environmental noise volume, the sample road participant status, and the sample warning volume into the initialized gradient boosting decision tree to obtain the predicted probability of auditory discomfort. S303. Determine the residual value based on the predicted probability of hearing discomfort and the label of the probability of hearing discomfort; S304. Train the target decision tree to fit the residual values, and update the gradient boosting decision tree based on the target decision tree; S305. When the number of iterations exceeds the preset threshold or the residual value is lower than the preset threshold, stop training and use the current gradient boosting decision tree as the trained sub-model for predicting the probability of auditory discomfort.

[0046] Specifically, the system acquires sample ambient noise levels, sample road participant states, and sample warning volumes in the test scenario, and statistically analyzes the auditory comfort of each road participant in the scenario to determine the auditory discomfort probability label. After acquiring a sufficient number of training samples, the sample ambient noise levels, sample road participant states, and sample warning volumes are input into an initialized gradient boosting decision tree to obtain the predicted auditory discomfort probability. The residual value is determined based on the predicted auditory discomfort probability and the auditory discomfort probability label. A target decision tree is trained to fit the residual value, and this target decision tree is multiplied by a preset learning rate and then superimposed onto the gradient boosting decision tree to complete the update of the gradient boosting decision tree and enter the next iteration. When the number of iterations exceeds a preset threshold or the residual value is lower than a preset residual threshold, training stops, and the current gradient boosting decision tree is used as the trained auditory discomfort probability prediction sub-model.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, when adjusting the current warning volume of the target vehicle according to the optimal warning volume value, a buffer mechanism is employed to achieve a smooth transition in the warning volume adjustment, that is, gradually increasing / decreasing from the current warning volume to the optimal warning volume value. Furthermore, the brightness of the warning lights can be adjusted simultaneously when adjusting the warning volume; however, this will not be elaborated upon in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] The method steps of the embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It can be understood that the embodiments of the present invention determine the corresponding warning volume range based on the current warning type, and optimize the warning volume value within this range using a multi-objective decision model to maximize the warning recognition probability and minimize the probability of auditory discomfort. This achieves precise adaptation of the warning volume to the vehicle's surrounding environment, taking into account both the recognizability of the warning sound and the auditory experience of other road users, improving the accuracy of vehicle warning volume adjustment, and ensuring road traffic safety.
