Definitions
- the invention is based on a method for lane assignment of successive vehicles.
- the majority of the known systems use a microwave radar beam or an infrared lidar beam to detect preceding vehicles and stationary as well as moving objects. This beam is reflected on the objects and received by the sensor, whereby the relative position and the relative speed of the objects can be determined. From this information, the future course range of the vehicle can be predicted, which is described in detail in patent specification DE 197 22 947 Cl.
- the object of the invention is to enable lane detection and the detection of the lane being traveled and, if appropriate, horizontal misalignment detection from reflected signals.
- the adaptive vehicle speed controller can expediently be used on multi-lane motorways, since there is a follow-up drive in most cases.
- Sensor reference models for streets with different numbers of lanes and for driving in different lanes are stored.
- the reference model which is most similar to the current measurement diagram, provides information on how many lanes the road has and which lane the vehicle is currently on. This result is output as a so-called lane hypothesis.
- a misalignment can be determined by evaluating the transverse offsets of the reflection objects as a function of their long distance, that is to say the distance between the sensor and the reflection object, which is parallel to the center of the vehicle.
- the advantage of this invention is to output a lane hypothesis using this simple analysis method of sensor data and to recognize any sensor misalignment that may be present.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram for model-based lane and misalignment detection
- a radar object is an object confirmed in each case from one measurement to the next measurement by comparing predicted distance, transverse offset and relative speed data and determined measurement data.
- the following treatments of the radar object data have proven to be expedient, (a) pre-filtering, i.e. each radar object is only taken into account once for the transverse offset histogram, or (b) weighted consideration of the individual objects in the histogram depending on the number of individual measurements of the individual radar objects.
- the offset transverse to the center of the vehicle can be used as the input transverse offset, or the transverse offset (dyc) related to the course of the ACC vehicle can also be used to compensate for changes in transverse offset due to cornering.
- the determined frequency distribution is correlated with a model for frequency distributions with respect to Lane allocation for multi-lane roads (e.g. 3 lanes) with a defined width or alternatively with characteristic transverse offset histograms for the different lanes used by the ACC vehicle.
- the submodel with the highest correlation to the determined frequency distribution is given as a lane hypothesis (number of lanes and lane used by your own vehicle).
- a model-based lane and misalignment detection is shown in FIG.
- the radar object data such as distance, relative speed and lateral offset are obtained from the measurement data of the radar sensor.
- these are filtered in an object filter, which is shown as block 2.
- This filtering can be done in different ways. This advantageously takes place either by considering each object only once for the transverse offset histogram or by considering each object with a weighting, the weighting depending on how often an object was recognized in individual measurements.
- These filtered data are then transferred to a transverse offset histogram, which is shown in block 3.
- the frequency of the filtered object data as a function of the measured transverse offset to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle is stored in this transverse offset histogram.
- lane models are stored which serve as reference histograms. These reference histograms are either model lane models or lane models that were obtained empirically.
- a separate, characteristic reference histogram is stored for each type of road, whether with or without oncoming traffic, whether one or more lanes in one direction and for the use of each lane.
- the currently determined, current transverse offset histogram from block 3 is correlated with each of the reference models stored in block 4. As a result, a correlation result is obtained for each correlation from the current cross offset histogram with one of the reference models, the higher the closer the current cross offset histogram and the reference histogram are.
- the horizontal misalignment of the radar sensor can be determined from the position of the mean values for the lanes in the histogram in relation to the vehicle center axis.
- a further histogram about the distance of the observed objects with equivalent object treatment (type (a) or (b)) must be stored, and a misalignment angle determined by determining the center of gravity of the histograms.
- FIG. 2 shows a flow chart that is suitable for lane analysis and misalignment detection of a radar sensor.
- a yaw rate signal can be used for this purpose, which comes, for example, from a sensor for driving dynamics control. It is also conceivable to take a steering angle into account. If this yaw rate signal is, for example, less than 0.001 rad / s, then one can conclude that a straight section of the route has been traveled. In this case, the amplitudes are filtered in block 8 in order to detect only actual radar reflections and to remove noise. In block 9, these measuring points are shown in an x, y diagram.
- the frequencies with which the objects were recognized by the radar beam can be determined from the x, y diagram.
- a distribution can be made from this x, y diagram in block 11 of the recognized objects on the roadway are modeled by generating a cross offset histogram.
- the offset of the model generated in block 11 is further determined, which indicates the lateral placement of one's own vehicle in the driven lane.
- the current transverse offset histogram is compared with the previous histogram. By observing the data record changes in block 13, a lane hypothesis can be output in block 14 which identifies the lane currently being used.
- the angle of the dominant object which is in front of the driver's vehicle is determined in block 23.
- the dominant object is advantageously the vehicle, which is moving in the same lane as the own vehicle and has the smallest distance from the own vehicle and is therefore decisive for the distance and speed control of the own vehicle.
- block 24 it is checked whether the angle of the dominant object determined in block 23 is approximately 0 ° on average over time. If this condition of block 24 is met, then in block 25, together with the frequencies from the x, y diagram, which were determined in block 10, the current data is verified with old data from previous measurements.
- a "locked” object is also determined from the x, y diagram of the filtered objects determined in block 9 in block 19.
- This "locked” object is a vehicle immediately preceding it, its distance from its own vehicle and its relative speed in relation to own vehicle can be used for distance and speed control.
- the position of this “locked” object is also forwarded to block 18 for determining a possible misalignment In this step 19, the center of gravity of the driving line can be determined in block 15 from the x, y diagram of block 9.
- driving line focal points represent the lateral transverse offset of the movement trajectories of vehicles that move in the middle of a respective lane.
- block 17 it can be seen from these driving line focal points whether the objects in the radar detection area move parallel to the driver's own vehicle, which is of particular interest in maneuvering maneuvers.
- the dominant object can be observed separately from the driving line focal points of step 15 in block 16 and supplied to block 17 by recognizing whether the recognized objects are moving parallel to one's own vehicle.
- the information obtained in step 17 regarding the parallelism of the detected objects is fed to the misalignment detection of the radar sensor in block 18.
- This parallel speed is the speed of the detected objects, based on your own vehicle. From these parallel speeds, the new positions of the detected radar objects are further calculated in block 21 on the basis of their old positions and their movement trajectories. These pre-calculated targets are compared with the new measurement data for the next measurement cycle and checked for plausibility. From the data obtained in step 21, a statistical center of gravity of the transverse offsets is determined in step 22, which is fed to block 18 and is used there to determine a possible sensor de- junction. In block 26 it is also shown that a radiant angle of the vehicle is determined from the radar measurement.
- the float angle of the driving Stuff determined by means of a further device is advantageously done by using vehicle dynamics variables from a device for vehicle dynamics control, which is already standard in most vehicles.
- the two float angles determined in steps 26 and 27 are compared with one another in block 28 and any difference between these two sizes of the sensor misalignment detection is passed on in block 18.
- the flowchart shown in Figure 2 partially includes several procedures and approaches to determine a size.
- the determination of a misalignment (18) was demonstrated using several options. In order to implement a lane determination or determination of a sensor misalignment, it is sufficient according to the invention to use one of the listed procedures in each case. It is also conceivable to combine two or more procedures with one another, in which case the individual results can be compared with one another and checked for plausibility.
