[0052] 1 , which shows a flow chart of a method for switching a driving mode of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0053] During the period when the driving mode of the target vehicle is the two-wheel drive mode, it may be periodically determined whether to switch the driving mode, and steps S101 - S102 may be periodically executed.

[0054] In step S101 , when the driving mode of the target vehicle is the two-wheel drive mode, information currently used for judgment is obtained.

[0055] The target vehicle may be any vehicle to which the method for switching the driving mode of a vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application is applied.

[0056] The information currently used for judgment includes: current scene information, current driver dimension information, current vehicle dimension information, and current road surface dimension information. Among them, the current scene information can be related to the scene where the target vehicle is currently located. The scene is predefined at least according to the type of weather. In addition, the weather type can be combined with other factors such as daytime and nighttime to predefine the scene. The current driver dimension information can be related to the driver of the target vehicle. The current vehicle dimension information can be related to the environment and driving safety reminders. The current road surface dimension information can be related to the condition of the road surface where the target vehicle is currently located. The condition of the road surface where the target vehicle is currently located can be reflected by the current parameter value of the acceleration parameter in the current road surface dimension information.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, each parameter in the information currently used for judgment is a parameter related to the driving safety of the target vehicle. The current parameter values ​​of at least some of the parameters in the information currently used for judgment are determined based on events or information detected by sensors of the target vehicle. As an example, the target vehicle has a speed sensor, a rain sensor, an electronic stability control system (ESP) sensor, a brake sensor, a steering sensor, a 360-degree vehicle camera, a vehicle lateral acceleration sensor, a vehicle longitudinal acceleration sensor, a vehicle lateral acceleration sensor, etc.

[0058] The current scene information includes the current parameter values ​​of parameters related to the current weather, the current driver dimension information includes the current parameter values ​​of the parameters of the driver of the target vehicle, the current vehicle dimension information includes: the current parameter values ​​of parameters related to the environment and the current parameter values ​​of parameters used for driving safety reminders, and the current road surface dimension information includes the current parameter values ​​of the acceleration parameters of the target vehicle.

[0059] As an example, if the current weather is rainy, the current scene information includes the current parameter value of the rainfall parameter, i.e., the current rainfall. As another example, if the current weather is foggy, the current scene information includes the current parameter value of the fog parameter, i.e., the current fog concentration.

[0060] As an example, the current driver dimension information includes: the current parameter value of the driving time parameter, the current parameter value of the fatigue parameter, the current parameter value of the inattention parameter, the current parameter value of the sudden steering parameter, the current parameter value of the accelerator pedal parameter, and the current parameter value of the emergency braking parameter.

[0061] As an example, the current vehicle dimension information includes: the current parameter value of the low temperature parameter, the current parameter value of the high temperature parameter, the current parameter value of the plateau parameter, the current parameter value of the brake assist reminder parameter, the current parameter value of the following distance reminder parameter, the current parameter value of the line crossing reminder parameter, and the current parameter value of the lane change reminder parameter.

[0062] As an example, the current road dimension information includes: the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle, the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle, and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the current parameter value of the parameter in the current scene information is collected by a sensor of the target vehicle that collects the parameter value of the parameter. In one possible implementation, for each parameter in the current scene information, before step S101 is performed for the first time, the parameter value of the parameter is 0.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the formation method of the current parameter value of the parameter in the current driver dimension information is preset.

[0065] In a possible implementation, for each parameter in the current driver dimension information, before step S101 is performed for the first time, the parameter value of the parameter is 0.

[0066] For a current parameter value of a parameter in the current driver dimension information, the current parameter value of the parameter may be increased by a preset value at intervals of a preset duration starting from the time step S101 is first executed. The preset value is a positive number. As an example, the parameter is a driving duration parameter, and the parameter value of the driving duration parameter is increased by a preset value at intervals of a preset duration starting from the time step S101 is first executed.

[0067] The current parameter value of a parameter in the current driver dimension information may be related to the number of occurrences of the event represented by the parameter within a time period used for determination. As an example, the time period used for determination may be a time period of a preset duration ending at the current time. A determination may be made as to whether signals representing an event represented by the parameter exceeding a preset number have been received within the time period used for determination. If so, the current parameter value of the parameter is the corresponding preset parameter value; otherwise, the current parameter value of the parameter is 0. The corresponding preset parameter value of the parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the corresponding preset parameter value is a number greater than 0 and less than 1. As an example, the parameter is a fatigue parameter, the event represented by the fatigue parameter is a fatigue event of the target vehicle driver, and the signal representing the event is a fatigue signal. A determination may be made as to whether the number of fatigue signals received within the time period used for determination is greater than a preset number. The fatigue signal is received from a sensor used to detect whether the target vehicle driver is fatigued. If so, the current parameter value of the fatigue parameter is the corresponding preset parameter value; otherwise, the current parameter value of the fatigue parameter is 0. The preset parameter value corresponding to the fatigue parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the fatigue parameter is a number greater than 0 and less than 1.

[0068] The current parameter value of a parameter in the current vehicle dimension information may be related to whether the target vehicle is currently in the environment represented by the parameter. It can be determined whether the target vehicle is currently in the environment represented by the parameter. If so, the current parameter value of the parameter is the preset parameter value corresponding to the parameter; otherwise, the current parameter value of the parameter is 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the parameter is a number greater than 0 and less than 1. As an example, if the environment represented by the low temperature parameter is a low temperature environment, if the target vehicle is currently in a low temperature environment, the current parameter value of the low temperature parameter is the preset parameter value corresponding to the low temperature parameter; if the target vehicle is not currently in a low temperature environment, the current parameter value of the low temperature parameter is 0. The preset parameter value corresponding to the low temperature parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the low temperature parameter is greater than 0. As another example, if the environment represented by the high temperature parameter is a high temperature environment, if the target vehicle is currently in a high temperature environment, the current parameter value of the high temperature parameter is the preset parameter value corresponding to the high temperature parameter; if the target vehicle is not currently in a high temperature environment, the current parameter value of the high temperature parameter is 0. The preset parameter value corresponding to the high temperature parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the high temperature parameter is greater than 0. As another example, the environment represented by the plateau parameter is a plateau. If the target vehicle is currently located in the plateau, the current parameter value of the plateau parameter is a preset parameter value corresponding to the plateau parameter. If the target vehicle is not currently located in the plateau, the current parameter value of the plateau parameter is 0. The preset parameter value corresponding to the plateau parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the plateau parameter is a number greater than 0 and less than 1.

[0069] For the current parameter value of a parameter in the current vehicle dimension information, the current parameter value of the parameter may be related to whether the event represented by the parameter is occurring on the target vehicle at the current time. It can be determined whether the event represented by the parameter is occurring on the target vehicle at the current time. If so, the current parameter value of the parameter is the preset parameter value corresponding to the parameter. If not, the current parameter value of the parameter is 0. The preset parameter value corresponding to the parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the parameter is a number greater than 0 and less than 1. As an example, the event represented by the brake assist reminder parameter is a brake assist reminder event. If the brake assist reminder event is occurring on the target vehicle at the current time, the current parameter value of the parameter is the preset parameter value corresponding to the parameter. If not, the current parameter value of the parameter is 0. The preset parameter value corresponding to the brake assist reminder parameter is greater than 0. As an example, the preset parameter value corresponding to the brake assist reminder parameter is a number greater than 0 and less than 1.

[0070] Step S102 : determining whether to switch the driving mode based on the information currently used for judgment, each piece of information in the information currently used for judgment, and a threshold value corresponding to each piece of information.

[0071] In step S102, in order to determine whether to switch the driving mode, the judgment result of the current scene information can be obtained based on the current scene information and the threshold value corresponding to the current scene information. The judgment result of the current scene information can indicate whether the driving mode needs to be switched. The judgment result of the current driver dimensional information can be obtained based on the current driver dimensional information and the threshold value corresponding to the current driver dimensional information. The judgment result of the current driver dimensional information can indicate whether the driving mode needs to be switched. The judgment result of the current vehicle dimensional information can be obtained based on the current vehicle dimensional information and the threshold value corresponding to the current vehicle dimensional information. The judgment result of the current vehicle dimensional information can indicate whether the driving mode needs to be switched. The judgment result of the current road surface dimensional information can be obtained based on the current road surface dimensional information and the threshold value corresponding to the current road surface dimensional information. The judgment result of the current road surface dimensional information can indicate whether the driving mode needs to be switched.

[0072] As an example, the threshold value corresponding to the current scene information includes the threshold value corresponding to each item in the current scene information. In order to obtain the judgment result of the current scene information based on the current scene information and the threshold value corresponding to the current scene information, the item in the current scene information can be compared with the corresponding threshold value to obtain the judgment result of the current scene information. As an example, the current weather is rainy, and the current scene information includes the current parameter value of the rainfall parameter, i.e., the current rainfall, and the current speed of the target vehicle. When the current rainfall is greater than the rainfall threshold value and the current vehicle speed is greater than the vehicle speed threshold value, a judgment result of the current scene information is obtained, indicating that the driving mode needs to be switched. When the current rainfall is not greater than the rainfall threshold value and / or the current vehicle speed is not greater than the vehicle speed threshold value, a judgment result of the current scene information is obtained, indicating that the driving mode does not need to be switched.

[0073] As an example, in order to obtain a judgment result of the current driver dimensional information based on the current driver dimensional information and the threshold value corresponding to the current driver dimensional information, a score of the current driver dimensional information is calculated based on the current parameter value of each parameter in the current driver dimensional information. As an example, the current parameter value of each parameter in the current driver dimensional information can be added to obtain the score of the current driver dimensional information. As another example, the current parameter value of each parameter can be normalized to obtain the normalized value of each parameter, and the normalized values ​​of each parameter can be added to obtain the score of the current driver dimensional information. The threshold value corresponding to the current driver dimensional information is a preset score. When the score of the current driver dimensional information is greater than the threshold value corresponding to the current driver dimensional information, a judgment result of the current driver dimensional information is obtained, indicating that a drive mode switch is required. When the score of the current driver dimensional information is less than or equal to the threshold value corresponding to the current driver dimensional information, a judgment result of the current driver dimensional information is obtained, indicating that a drive mode switch is not required.

[0074] As an example, in order to obtain a judgment result of the current vehicle dimensional information based on the current vehicle dimensional information and the threshold value corresponding to the current vehicle dimensional information, the score of the current vehicle dimensional information is calculated based on the current parameter value of each parameter in the current vehicle dimensional information. As an example, the current parameter value of each parameter in the current vehicle dimensional information can be added to obtain the score of the current vehicle dimensional information. As another example, the current parameter value of each parameter can be normalized to obtain the normalized value of each parameter, and the normalized values ​​of each parameter can be added to obtain the score of the current vehicle dimensional information. The threshold value corresponding to the current vehicle dimensional information is a preset score. When the score of the current vehicle dimensional information is greater than the threshold value corresponding to the current vehicle dimensional information, a judgment result of the current vehicle dimensional information is obtained, indicating that a drive mode switch is required. When the score of the current vehicle dimensional information is less than or equal to the threshold value corresponding to the current vehicle dimensional information, a judgment result of the current vehicle dimensional information is obtained, indicating that a drive mode switch is not required.

[0075] As an example, the threshold corresponding to the current road surface dimension information includes a threshold corresponding to each item in the current road surface dimension information. To determine the current road surface dimension information based on the current road surface dimension information and the threshold corresponding to the current road surface dimension information, each item in the current road surface dimension information can be compared with the corresponding threshold to determine the current road surface dimension information. As an example, the current road surface dimension information includes: the target vehicle's current longitudinal acceleration, the target vehicle's current lateral acceleration, and the target vehicle's current lateral acceleration. The thresholds corresponding to the current road surface dimension information include: a longitudinal acceleration threshold, a lateral acceleration threshold, and a lateral acceleration threshold. The target vehicle's current longitudinal acceleration is compared with the longitudinal acceleration threshold, the target vehicle's current lateral acceleration is compared with the lateral acceleration threshold, and the target vehicle's current lateral acceleration is compared with the lateral acceleration threshold. As an example, the following conditions can be determined: the target vehicle's current longitudinal acceleration is greater than the longitudinal acceleration threshold, the target vehicle's current lateral acceleration is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, and the target vehicle's current lateral acceleration is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold. If the conditions are met, a determination result is obtained based on the current road surface dimension information indicating that a drive mode switch is required. If the condition is not satisfied, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the driving mode does not need to be switched.

[0076] As another example, it can be determined whether the following conditions are met: at least two of the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle, the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle, and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle are greater than the corresponding threshold values. If the conditions are met, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the drive mode needs to be switched. If the conditions are not met, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the drive mode does not need to be switched. For example, when the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the longitudinal acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the drive mode needs to be switched. For example, when the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the drive mode needs to be switched.

[0077] In step S102, after obtaining the judgment results of the current scene information, the current driver dimension information, the current vehicle dimension information, and the current road surface dimension information, determine whether to switch the driving mode based on the judgment results of the current scene information, the current driver dimension information, the current vehicle dimension information, and the current road surface dimension information.

[0078] As an example, the following conditions can be determined: when the judgment results of the current scene information, the current driver-related information, the current vehicle-related information, and the current road surface-related information all indicate that a drive mode switch is required, the drive mode switch is performed. If not, the drive mode switch is not performed.

[0079] As another example, the following conditions can be determined: when the current scene information indicates a need to switch driving modes, and at least one of the current driver-related information, the current vehicle-related information, and the current road surface-related information indicates a need to switch driving modes. If so, the drive mode switch is performed. If not, the drive mode switch is not performed.

[0080] Step S103 : When it is determined to switch the driving mode, the driving mode of the target vehicle is switched from the two-wheel drive mode to the four-wheel drive mode.

[0081] As an example, after the target vehicle's driving mode is switched from a two-wheel drive mode to a four-wheel drive mode, the front wheel end torque and the rear wheel end torque of the target vehicle may be distributed in a 5:5 ratio. As an example, when the target vehicle is in the four-wheel drive mode, the target vehicle may be switched from the four-wheel drive mode to the two-wheel drive mode in response to an instruction from the driver of the target vehicle to switch to the two-wheel drive mode.

[0082] 2 , which shows a flow chart of another method for switching a driving mode of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0083] Step S201: When the driving mode of the target vehicle is the two-wheel drive mode, obtain the current information used for judgment.

[0084] The process of step S201 participates in the process of step S101.

[0089] In one possible implementation, in step S2022, obtaining a judgment result of the current driver dimensional information based on the current driver dimensional information and the threshold corresponding to the current driver dimensional information includes: calculating the score of the current driver dimensional information based on the current parameter value of each parameter in the current driver dimensional information, and obtaining a judgment result of the current driver dimensional information based on the score of the current driver dimensional information and the threshold corresponding to the current driver dimensional information.

[0094] As an example, when the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the longitudinal acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the lateral acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the drive mode needs to be switched.

As another example, when the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the longitudinal acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the lateral acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, a judgment result of the current road surface dimension information is obtained, indicating that the drive mode needs to be switched. As another example, when the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the longitudinal acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, a judgment result is obtained based on the current road surface dimension information that the driving mode needs to be switched.

[0095] When the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the longitudinal acceleration threshold, the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle is not greater than the lateral acceleration threshold, a judgment result is obtained based on the current road surface dimension information and no driving mode switching is required.

[0096] In step S202, based on the judgment results of the current driver dimension information, the judgment results of the current vehicle dimension information and the judgment results of the current road surface dimension information, the current comprehensive judgment result is obtained, including: when there is at least one judgment result indicating that the driving mode needs to be switched among the judgment results of the current driver dimension information, the judgment results of the current vehicle dimension information and the judgment results of the current road surface dimension information, a comprehensive judgment result indicating that the driving mode needs to be switched is obtained; when there is no judgment result indicating that the driving mode needs to be switched among the judgment results of the current driver dimension information, the judgment results of the current vehicle dimension information and the judgment results of the current road surface dimension information, a comprehensive judgment result indicating that the driving mode does not need to be switched is obtained.

[0097] In step S202, determining whether to switch the driving mode based on the judgment result of the current scene information and the current comprehensive judgment result includes: when the judgment result of the current scene information indicates that the driving mode needs to be switched and the comprehensive judgment result indicates that the driving mode needs to be switched, determining to switch the driving mode; when the judgment result of the current scene information indicates that the driving mode does not need to be switched and / or the comprehensive judgment result indicates that the driving mode does not need to be switched, determining not to switch the driving mode.

In this example, the score of the current vehicle dimension information is compared with the threshold corresponding to the current vehicle dimension information to obtain the judgment result of the current vehicle dimension information. In this example, the acceleration of the target vehicle is compared with the acceleration threshold to obtain the judgment result corresponding to the current road surface dimension information. The current road surface dimension information may include: the current longitudinal acceleration of the target vehicle, the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle, and the current lateral acceleration of the target vehicle.
