The inventor finds out in the experimental process that: when the existing vehicle with the cruise system follows the vehicle in an S-shaped manner, the vehicle is easy to exceed a lane line due to the fact that the vehicle does not have a front vehicle block due to overshoot reaction, and great potential safety hazards are brought. Although the electronic power steering system EPS with high sensitivity and high response speed can be adopted to improve the technical problem, extra cost is increased, the problem cannot be solved fundamentally, and certain potential safety hazard still exists. Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides an intelligent car following control method, device, system and terminal.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart diagram illustrating an intelligent car following control method according to an example embodiment. The embodiment of the invention is used for cruising and car-following scenes, particularly including but not limited to cruising and car-following scenes such as S-shaped car-following scenes, S-shaped overtaking scenes, curve car-following scenes and the like of a lane, and is particularly suitable for low-speed S-shaped car-following scenes. Referring to fig. 1, the intelligent car following control method may include the following steps S102 to S106. Wherein:
in step S102, in the following mode, road environment information and first traveling information of the own vehicle are acquired.
During driving, if the vehicle cruise system is started, the vehicle enters a following mode. In the following mode, the host vehicle follows the driving speed and direction of the preceding vehicle. The road environment information is acquired by an acquisition module, which includes but is not limited to an image acquisition device and/or a radar sensor and/or an ultrasonic radar sensor. The road environment information may be road image information, and lane line information of the road or road conditions such as road pits and cracks may be determined through the road image information.
The first traveling information may include a vehicle speed, a traveling direction, and the like of the host vehicle. The intelligent vehicle following control device CAN acquire the first driving information detected by the vehicle-mounted sensor and also CAN acquire the first driving information through the CAN bus.
In step S104, determining a current risk level of the host vehicle based on the road environment information, the first driving information, and a preset feedback time; the preset feedback time is used for representing the reaction time of the vehicle responding to the following front vehicle.
The inventor finds that in the following vehicle running mode, the vehicle-mounted sensor such as a radar monitors that the front vehicle determines the position and the speed of the front vehicle through the echo, and then sends the calculated echo to the corresponding controller to calculate the output command so as to control the execution of the lucky motion. However, monitoring, calculating the echo and transmitting the command require a certain amount of time, which can cause the rear vehicle to slow down and overshoot. If the preceding vehicle suddenly changes lanes or the traveling direction is suddenly changed, the vehicle may be damaged due to slow movement.
In this embodiment, according to the acquired road environment information, the first driving information, and the preset feedback time, it is determined whether the host vehicle is in a dangerous emergency within the preset feedback time, and a current danger level of the host vehicle is determined. And the preset feedback time is used for representing the reaction time of the vehicle responding to the following front vehicle. The preset feedback time can be calibrated through a real vehicle.
Specifically, the distance between the vehicle wheel and the adjacent lane line can be determined through the acquired road environment information and the first driving information, and then whether the distance is reduced to the threshold value within the preset feedback time is judged. If the distance is determined to be reduced to the threshold value, the vehicle is about to be in a dangerous area, and the dangerous level of the vehicle is high. If the distance is determined not to be reduced to the threshold value, the vehicle is indicated to be always running in a non-dangerous area, and the dangerous level of the vehicle is low. The current risk level may be divided into a plurality of risk levels, such as a first risk level, a second risk level, and a third risk level. The higher the risk level, the more severe its corresponding emergency situation.
In step S106, the vehicle is controlled to follow the vehicle based on the target vehicle following control strategy corresponding to the current risk level.
And after the current danger level is determined, looking up a table to obtain a corresponding target vehicle following control strategy according to the corresponding relation between the current danger level and a preset vehicle following control strategy. The target control strategy may be a safety warning and/or vehicle control. And then, controlling the vehicle to adjust the following control strategy according to the determined target following control strategy so as to ensure that the vehicle runs safely and avoid harm.
According to the intelligent car following control method, under a car following mode, road environment information and first driving information of a car are obtained; determining the current danger level of the vehicle based on the road environment information, the first driving information and preset feedback time; and then, carrying out vehicle following control on the vehicle based on a target vehicle following control strategy corresponding to the current danger level. Therefore, the danger level of the vehicle can be pre-judged in advance according to the road environment information and the driving information of the vehicle; and then according to the pre-judged danger level, a corresponding target vehicle following control strategy is executed, more accurate and more stable intelligent vehicle following driving can be realized, and the safety of passengers is ensured.

The lane line type includes a dotted line and a solid line. The dashed lines include, but are not limited to, road-marking lines that are discontinuous. The solid line includes, but is not limited to, a continuous road marking line, and may also be a road edge stone or a virtual lane line determined based on edge information of a road.
S204, judging whether the first distance is reduced to be smaller than or equal to a first threshold value within the preset feedback time based on the first driving information and the first distance, and obtaining a first judgment result.
And acquiring a first distance between the vehicle and an adjacent lane line at the current moment, and pre-judging whether the first distance is reduced within the preset feedback time according to the vehicle speed and the driving direction of the vehicle contained in the first driving information. If the first distance is judged to be reduced in advance, whether the first distance is reduced to a first threshold value is judged according to the amplitude which is possibly reduced, and a corresponding first judgment result is obtained. The first threshold may be zero and positive. Wherein zero represents the wheel pressure lane line of the vehicle; the positive value represents the corresponding preset distance d1 when the vehicle is in the lane, and the d1 can be 0 < d1 < 50 cm.
S206, determining the current danger level of the vehicle based on the first judgment result and the type of the adjacent lane line.
In this embodiment, the degree of danger occurring within the preset feedback time is pre-determined based on the first determination result and the type of the adjacent lane line, and then the current danger level corresponding to the vehicle is determined according to the degree of danger occurring.

And determining whether the vehicle can pass the line according to whether the component distance is larger than the first distance at the current moment.
And S210, if the second judgment result is yes, determining that the current danger level is a third danger level.
Specifically, if the component distance is greater than the first distance at the current time, it is determined that the vehicle will overshoot, and the second determination result is obtained as yes. And if the second judgment result is yes, further determining that the current danger level is a third danger level. If the second judgment result is negative, the dangerous situation of the vehicle in the lane is judged in advance. The order of the degree of risk of each risk class may be: third risk level > second risk level > first risk level.
It should be noted that, the danger level of the vehicle may be further divided according to the type of the adjacent lane line and the second determination result.
