[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] In the field of autonomous driving, test terminals can be used to test autonomous vehicles, thereby completing the test of the vehicle under test without the need for staff to follow the vehicle.

[0035] However, the autonomous driving mode of the autonomous driving vehicle can be switched between an on state and a disabled state. When using the above-mentioned test terminal to test the vehicle to be tested, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle to be tested is in a state where the autonomous driving function is turned on. If the autonomous driving function of the vehicle to be tested is in an unavailable state, it will cause unnecessary waste of time.

[0036] For example, in the mining field, in order to ensure the safety when the vehicle is manually taken over, the vehicle side can be designed with an automatic driving prohibition switch E-STOP. When the switch is pressed, the vehicle cannot perform automatic driving. When testing, it is necessary to ensure that the button is released to ensure that the automatic driving mode of the vehicle under test is turned on, so as to conduct the test.

[0037] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an autonomous driving vehicle testing system and a testing terminal, which can promptly prompt the prohibited driving status of the autonomous driving vehicle on the test terminal when performing performance testing on the autonomous driving vehicle, thereby ensuring the performance testing efficiency of the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0038] like Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic driving vehicle testing system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system includes a test terminal 10 and a vehicle to be tested 30.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the test terminal 10 and the vehicle to be tested 30 can communicate directly. In another embodiment of the present invention, communication and data transmission can also be performed through the cloud platform 20. In this regard, the user can set it according to the needs, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0040] Specific reference Figure 2 , is a structural block diagram of an autonomous driving vehicle testing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the test terminal 10 includes an automatic driving prohibition prompt module 101 and a first communication unit 102; the vehicle to be tested 30 includes an automatic driving module 301 and a second communication unit 302, wherein a communication connection is established between the first communication unit 102 and the second communication unit 103.

[0042] The automatic driving module 301 is used to provide the automatic driving mode status of the vehicle under test 30, such as the automatic driving on mode or the automatic driving prohibited mode, and send the automatic driving mode status to the first communication unit 102 through the second communication unit 302. Afterwards, the automatic driving prohibited prompt module 101 receives the automatic driving mode status information obtained by the first communication unit 102 and gives a prompt.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the prompt information output by the test terminal 10 when the automatic driving mode 301 of the vehicle 20 to be tested is in the automatic driving prohibited state. When the automatic driving mode 301 of the vehicle 20 to be tested is in the automatic driving prohibited state, the E-Stop button 31 of the display interface of the test terminal 10 is red, and a prompt box 32 pops up, prompting "ESTOP" to be turned on.

[0044] At this time, the user can select the "Cance 1" or "OK" button in the prompt box 32. When the user clicks the "Cance 1" button, the prompt box 32 is closed; when the user selects the "OK" button, the test terminal 10 sends information to the vehicle under test 20 to prompt the user of the vehicle under test 20 to manually release the automatic driving prohibition button on the vehicle under test 20, or sends a command to the vehicle control unit (VCU) of the vehicle under test 20, so as to control the vehicle control unit (VCU) to release the automatic driving prohibition button on the vehicle under test 20 with the automatic driving control instruction.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of the interface output by the test terminal 10 when the vehicle 20 to be tested is in the automatic driving mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, when the vehicle 20 to be tested is in the automatic driving mode, the “ESTOP” button 31 does not appear red, and the prompt box 32 disappears.

[0046] The autonomous driving vehicle testing system of the disclosed embodiment can prompt the prohibited driving status of the autonomous driving vehicle on the test terminal in a timely manner when performing performance testing on the autonomous driving vehicle, thereby ensuring the performance testing efficiency of the autonomous driving vehicle. Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an autonomous driving vehicle testing system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The system includes a test terminal 10 and a vehicle to be tested 30. It should be noted that: Figure 5 The same reference numerals in the figure denote Figure 1 The same technical features will not be repeated in the following.

[0047] like Figure 5As shown, the test terminal 10 includes an automatic driving prohibition prompt module 101, a first communication unit 102, a first instruction transceiver unit 103, a second instruction transceiver unit 104, a third instruction transceiver unit 105 and a display unit 106.

[0048] The first instruction transceiver unit 103 is used to receive the automatic driving prohibition control instruction input by the user, and send the automatic driving prohibition control instruction to the second communication unit 302 of the vehicle to be tested 30 through the first communication unit 103;

[0049] The second instruction transceiver unit 104 is used to receive an emergency stop instruction input by a user, and send the emergency stop instruction to the second communication unit 302 of the vehicle to be tested 30 through the first communication unit 103;

[0050] The third instruction transceiver unit 105 is used to receive at least one test instruction input by a user, and send the at least one test instruction to the second communication unit 302 of the vehicle to be tested 20 through the first communication unit 130 .

[0051] For further reference, Figure 5 The vehicle to be tested 30 includes an automatic driving module 301, a second communication unit 302, a vehicle control unit 303 and an automatic driving prohibition control unit 304, wherein the automatic driving prohibition control unit 304 establishes a connection with the automatic driving module 301 to control the state switching of the automatic driving module 301.

[0052] Among them, the vehicle control unit 303 is used to execute corresponding command actions according to the automatic driving prohibition control instructions, emergency stop instructions and / or test instructions sent by the first communication unit 102 of the test terminal 10 received by the second communication unit 302, and return the corresponding data information to the test terminal 10 through the second communication unit 302, and display it on the display unit 106.

[0053] Specifically, see again Figure 3 to Figure 4 Provide further explanation.

[0054] See also Figure 3 , is a schematic diagram of the prompt information output by the test terminal 10 when the automatic driving mode 301 of the vehicle 20 to be tested is in the automatic driving prohibited state. Figure 3As shown, when the automatic driving mode 301 of the vehicle to be tested 30 is in the automatic driving prohibited state, the automatic driving module 301 sends the automatic driving prohibited state information to the first communication unit 102 through the second communication unit 302, and then the automatic driving prohibited prompt module 101 generates prompt information according to the automatic driving prohibited state information received by the first communication unit 102, and displays it in the display unit 106.

[0055] Specifically, when the automatic driving mode 301 of the vehicle 20 to be tested is in the automatic driving prohibited state, the E-Stop button 31 of the display interface of the test terminal 10 is red, and a prompt box 32 pops up, prompting that "ESTOP" is turned on. The user can select the "Cance 1" or "OK" button in the prompt box 32. When the user clicks the "Cance 1" button, the prompt box 32 is closed; when the user selects the "OK" button, the first instruction transceiver unit 103 of the test terminal 10 receives the automatic driving prohibited release instruction input by the user, and sends the automatic driving prohibited release instruction to the second communication unit 302 of the vehicle 30 to be tested through the first communication unit 103. Afterwards, the vehicle control unit 303 of the vehicle 30 to be tested controls the automatic driving prohibited control unit 304 to release the automatic driving prohibited mode (i.e., enter the automatic driving available state) according to the automatic driving prohibited release instruction received by the second communication unit 302.

[0056] When the automatic driving forbidden mode is released by the automatic driving forbidden control unit 304, the automatic driving mode of the automatic driving module 301 is turned on; after the second communication unit 302 sends the automatic driving mode on status information of the automatic driving module 301 to the first communication unit of the test terminal 10, the prompt information of the automatic driving forbidden prompt module 101 is eliminated, and the display Figure 4 The information shown in .

[0057] For further reference, Figure 3 to Figure 4 The display interface of the test terminal 10 also includes a "Stop" button 33. When the user clicks the "Stop" button 33, the second instruction transceiver unit 104 receives the emergency stop instruction input by the user, and sends the emergency stop instruction to the second communication unit 302 of the vehicle under test 30 through the first communication unit 103. Afterwards, the vehicle control unit 303 of the vehicle under test 30 controls the braking system of the vehicle under test 30 to perform emergency stop according to the emergency stop instruction received by the second communication unit 302.

[0058] For further reference, Figure 3 to Figure 4The display interface of the test terminal 10 also includes a "start test" button 34. When the user clicks the "start test" button 34, the second instruction transceiver unit 105 receives the test instruction input by the user, and sends the test instruction to the second communication unit 302 of the vehicle to be tested 30 through the first communication unit 103. Afterwards, the vehicle control unit 303 of the vehicle to be tested 30 controls at least one working unit of the vehicle to be tested 30 to return the working data information of the working unit according to the test instruction received by the second communication unit 302, and sends the working data information of the at least one working unit to the test terminal 10 through the second communication unit 302, and displays it in the display unit 106.
