[0047] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0048] To illustrate the technical solution described in this application, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0049] The identification of abnormal vehicle states during driving, including traffic accident recognition, can effectively improve emergency response speed, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance road safety. Real-time monitoring and automatic identification of traffic accidents can quickly alert emergency services, shorten response time, and thus save lives in critical moments. Rapid identification and response to traffic accidents can reduce the time spent at the accident scene, thereby reducing resulting traffic congestion. Traffic accident recognition technology can monitor and analyze traffic flow, predict potential traffic accidents, and alert drivers, especially fleet drivers, through early warning systems, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. Therefore, accurate traffic accident identification is of great significance.

[0050] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation scenario of a traffic accident recognition method provided in this application embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the implementation scenario includes a vehicle terminal 1 and a platform terminal 2, wherein the vehicle terminal 1 is used to collect multimodal data and perform preliminary screening. The devices used to collect multimodal data may include a driver monitoring system (DMS) 10, an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) 11, and a motion sensor 12. The driver monitoring system 10 can collect relevant information about the driver of the vehicle through the DMS camera 101 to determine the driver's actions or expressions, including at least one of abnormal driver movement and driver panic. The driver monitoring system 10 can also use a sound sensor 102 to detect voices in the cockpit, such as abnormal screams by the driver. The advanced driver assistance system 11 can collect the environment during the vehicle's driving process through the ADAS camera to detect whether there are any abnormalities in front of the vehicle, including at least one of vehicle collisions and pedestrian collisions. The motion sensor 12 can be used to collect the vehicle's motion information and determine the vehicle's motion state, including at least one of abnormal deceleration and abnormal vehicle posture. Platform 2 can perform preliminary screening of suspected traffic accidents based on the collected multimodal data, and send the multimodal data of suspected traffic accidents to platform 2. Platform 2 can obtain the identification result of suspected traffic accidents based on the driver's personalized driving habits, historical accident information of the location of the suspected traffic accident, and the multimodal data.

[0051] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of a traffic accident identification method provided in an embodiment of this application, which is described in detail below:

[0052] In S201, the vehicle acquires multimodal data and performs preliminary screening of traffic accidents based on the multimodal data to obtain information related to suspected traffic accidents.

[0053] The multimodal data includes driver information from the vehicle side, and information related to suspected traffic accidents includes the location of the suspected traffic accident.

[0054] Multimodal data can include external cockpit image data, internal cockpit image data, internal cockpit voice data, and vehicle motion data. Devices for acquiring multimodal data, as shown in Figure 1, include ADAS, DMS, and motion sensors. ADAS can be used to acquire internal cockpit image and audio data. DMS can be used to acquire external cockpit image data. Motion sensors acquire vehicle motion state data.

[0055] When determining information related to suspected traffic accidents based on multimodal data, the vehicle-side system can make separate judgments on suspected traffic accidents based on the collected multimodal data.

[0056] For example, based on the cockpit image data collected by ADAS, at least one of the following can be detected: abnormal driver movement and driver panic.

[0057] Based on the driver's position in the image and the frame rate, the speed of abnormal driver movement can be determined. If both the abnormal speed and amplitude of movement meet preset requirements, a suspected traffic accident based on abnormal driver movement can be identified. For example, the distance and speed of head movement can be detected. If the speed exceeds a predetermined speed threshold and the distance exceeds a predetermined amplitude threshold, a suspected traffic accident due to abnormal driver movement can be identified.

[0058] The driver's facial expressions can be obtained from the collected cockpit image data. When the model identifies the driver's expression as one of fear, a suspected traffic accident can be identified based on the driver's fear.

[0059] Based on the external image data collected by the DMS, it can be used to detect at least one of the following: vehicle collision or pedestrian collision.

[0060] Based on the external image data collected by the DMS camera, the distance between the vehicle and other vehicles, or between the vehicle and pedestrians, can be determined, and the possibility of a vehicle collision or behavioral collision anomaly can be determined based on this distance. Alternatively, the distance between the vehicle and other objects can be determined using distance detection equipment such as LiDAR.

[0061] Motion sensors can collect vehicle motion data to detect whether the vehicle is in an abnormal deceleration state or in a state of suspected traffic accident with abnormal vehicle posture. Abnormal vehicle posture includes situations such as vehicle rollover or abnormal vehicle pitch angle.

[0062] Motion sensors, including gyroscopes or accelerometers, can detect the vehicle's deceleration in the direction of travel. If the deceleration is less than a predetermined speed threshold, a suspected traffic accident based on abnormal deceleration can be identified. Gyroscopes or other six-axis sensors can detect the vehicle's pose, and based on the angle between the vehicle and a standard state, determine whether it is in a suspected traffic accident state with an abnormal vehicle pose, such as a rollover or abnormal pitch angle.

[0063] Not limited to this, a comprehensive judgment can also be made by combining different multimodal data, for example:

[0064] Abnormal driver movement can be combined with facial expression recognition. Using in-cabin image data collected by ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), the speed and amplitude of the driver's head movement can be detected. If both the speed and amplitude exceed set thresholds, it can be identified as abnormal movement. Simultaneously, facial expression recognition technology can be used to analyze whether the driver is exhibiting emotions such as fear. If both conditions are met, a suspected traffic accident can be identified.

[0065] Alternatively, forward collision detection can be combined with driver status data. Using exterior image data collected by the DMS (Driver Monitoring System), the risk of a vehicle or pedestrian collision can be detected. Furthermore, combining this with the driver's demeanor (such as abnormal movement or a panicked expression) can further confirm the likelihood of a collision. For example, if a pedestrian is detected ahead and the driver exhibits signs of panic, the situation can be more effectively classified as high-risk.

[0066] Alternatively, combining motion sensors with driver behavior allows for the monitoring of vehicle dynamics (such as deceleration or rollover) by motion sensors, combined with abnormal driver behavior (such as sudden movements or expressions of fear), to comprehensively assess the risk of a traffic accident. For example, if a vehicle decelerates abnormally while the driver displays fear, it can be considered a potential accident risk.

[0067] In S202, the vehicle sends the multimodal data and the suspected traffic accident-related information to the platform.

[0068] Due to limitations in computing power at the vehicle end, the accuracy of identifying suspected traffic accidents based on multimodal features is limited. In this embodiment, after identifying suspected traffic accidents based on multimodal data at the vehicle end, the relevant information of the suspected traffic accident is combined with the corresponding multimodal data and sent to the platform end for further detailed analysis and processing to obtain more accurate traffic accident identification results, reduce false alarm rate, and improve vehicle driving efficiency.

[0069] Once a suspected traffic accident is identified, the vehicle's location information can be obtained as the location of the suspected traffic accident.

[0070] Vehicle location information can be obtained through satellite positioning signals, lane-assisted positioning base stations (such as radio frequency positioning base stations) to determine the location of suspected traffic accidents, vehicle communication modules, or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems to determine the location of suspected traffic accidents from other vehicles.

[0071] In a possible implementation, after sending suspected traffic accident-related information and multimodal data to the platform, the vehicle can further collect multimodal data for a predetermined duration and send this predetermined duration of multimodal data to the platform, enabling the platform to obtain more accurate analysis results. For example, the vehicle can further collect multimodal data for 1-5 minutes and send it to the platform.

[0072] In S203, the platform determines the driver's personalized driving habits based on the driver information of the vehicle and determines the historical accident information of the suspected traffic accident location based on the location of the suspected traffic accident.

[0073] Driver information can include driver feature data such as those from cockpit image data collected by ADAS. For example, the platform can determine the driver's facial image based on the cockpit image data collected by ADAS, find the driver's identifier based on the facial image, and determine the driver's personalized driving habits based on the found driver identifier.

[0074] Driving habit data includes habitual data such as habitually closing one's eyes, habitually braking suddenly, and habitually accelerating suddenly, which are also the second relevant features associated with driving habits.

[0075] Based on the time of the suspected traffic accident detection and the collected location information, historical accident information regarding the suspected accident's location can be determined. This can be done by querying the accident database based on location to identify historical accidents matching the suspected accident's location, such as those located within a predetermined radius.

[0076] The historical accident information searched includes the main accident factors that caused the historical accident, that is, the primary relevant features of the historical accident information, including major accident factors such as road surface factors, visibility factors, and driver operation factors.

[0077] Based on the determined first and second relevant features, the weights of features in the collected multimodal data can be adjusted according to a direct proportional relationship, including the frequency of historical traffic accidents at the location of the suspected traffic accident. That is, the higher the frequency of historical traffic accidents at that location, the higher the weight of the first relevant feature, thus enabling more reliable identification of traffic accidents occurring at that location.

[0078] Based on the degree of a driver's personalized driving habits, the weight of the second relevant feature is adjusted in an inverse proportional relationship. For example, the higher the degree of personalized driving habits, the lower the weight of the second relevant feature, thereby reducing the number of false alarms that are mistaken for traffic accidents due to personalized driving habits, which helps improve recognition accuracy.

[0079] In S204, the platform obtains the identification result of a suspected traffic accident based on the driver's personalized driving habits, the historical accident information of the location, and the multimodal data.

[0080] This application embodiment can include multimodal data uploaded from the platform, including multimodal data within a certain time period before the detection of a suspected traffic accident, or multimodal data within a predetermined time period after the detection of a suspected traffic accident. The certain time period before the detection of a suspected traffic accident and the predetermined time period after the detection of a suspected traffic accident can be the same or different.

[0081] In this embodiment, the platform can generate an accident description text by combining information related to suspected traffic accidents, the driver's personalized driving habits, and historical accident information about the location where the suspected traffic accident was detected. The platform can then identify the accident description text using a large language model to make a more detailed analysis and judgment of the suspected traffic accident and obtain the identification result of the suspected traffic accident.

[0082] Figure 3 illustrates the implementation process of an accident recognition using a large-scale language model according to an embodiment of this application. In this process, the driver's identifier can be found based on the cockpit image data, and the driver's historical driving data can be retrieved based on the driver's identifier. The driver's historical driving data can be input into a trained habit data extraction model to obtain the driver's personalized driving habits. Based on the detected location of a suspected traffic accident, historical traffic accidents with a distance to the suspected accident location that meets a predetermined distance radius (i.e., a distance less than the predetermined distance radius) are searched in the traffic accident database to obtain historical traffic accident information related to the searched historical traffic accidents.

[0083] Based on the uploaded multimodal data, combined with the identified historical traffic accident information and personalized driving habits, textual accident description information can be obtained. This accident description information is then input into a language model to obtain the identification results of suspected traffic accidents based on large-scale language model analysis.

[0084] Because this method is based on historical traffic accident information determined by the location of the suspected traffic accident, and combined with the driver's personalized driving data for analysis and judgment, it is conducive to obtaining more accurate accident identification results, reducing false alarms, and improving fleet driving efficiency.

[0085] In possible implementations, the number of suspected traffic accidents reported by vehicles is relatively large; for example, the platform may receive information related to suspected traffic accidents from N vehicles. To prioritize responses to more urgent suspected traffic accidents, a prioritization method for suspected traffic accidents, as shown in Figure 4, can be adopted, including:

[0086] In S401, the platform determines the accident level based on the vehicle's six-axis acceleration and speed obtained by the sensors, combined with the weighted information corresponding to the terrain at the vehicle's current location.

[0087] This application embodiment can determine the vehicle's six-axis acceleration and speed based on motion data collected by motion sensors at the vehicle end. The six-axis acceleration acquisition device includes a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. The three-axis accelerometer measures the vehicle's linear acceleration in the X, Y, and Z directions (generally, the vehicle's forward direction is the X direction, and the vertical upward direction is the Z direction), while the three-axis gyroscope measures the vehicle's angular velocities around the X, Y, and Z axes. Specifically: the X-axis gyroscope measures the vehicle's rotational speed around the X-axis, i.e., the vehicle's yaw rate; the Y-axis gyroscope measures the vehicle's rotational speed around the Y-axis, i.e., the vehicle's pitch rate; and the Z-axis gyroscope measures the vehicle's rotational speed around the Z-axis, i.e., the vehicle's roll rate.

[0088] When determining the weighting information based on the terrain at the vehicle's current location, the terrain information can include off-road terrain, unpaved road terrain, and paved road terrain. The lower the road surface smoothness, the lower the weighting of acceleration in the Z direction and rotational speed along the X and Y axes can be, while the weighting of vehicle speed will increase accordingly. The weighting of linear acceleration in the X-axis and rotational speed along the Y-axis is adjusted based on the road surface inclination; for example, the greater the road surface inclination, the smaller the weighting of rotational speed along the Y-axis.

[0089] Based on the detected six-axis acceleration and vehicle speed, and combined with the weights determined according to the terrain, a priority score is obtained for suspected traffic accidents, and the accident level of each suspected traffic accident is determined according to the priority score.

[0090] In S402, the platform determines the priority of vehicle accident handling based on the accident level.

[0091] Based on the determined accident level, higher-level suspected traffic accidents are prioritized for processing, thereby enabling more reliable identification of more serious traffic accidents.

[0092] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
