Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for autonomous or
- the present invention is particularly concerned with permanently narrow roads with oncoming traffic.
- "permanent” can be understood in particular to mean that the width of the road with the bottleneck does not change during passage of the location through the vehicle or through a vehicle approaching the vehicle.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned, with which a highly automated or autonomously driving vehicle Bottlenecks in compliance with traffic regulations and under the resolution of a traffic jam situation can happen.
- the method according to the invention for autonomously driving a vehicle through a bottleneck comprises the method steps:
- the prediction of the response of the other vehicle indicates that the opposite vehicle will not pass the constriction or release the constriction to pass or
- the autonomous driving of the vehicle can be controlled in particular by a driver assistance system of the vehicle.
- Vehicles sufficiently wide road are understood, wherein at an obstacle, e.g. several consecutively parked vehicles, only left (or right in countries with left-hand traffic)
- the method is particularly suitable for bottlenecks that are relatively long, eg streets in
- autonomous can also be understood in particular as meaning that driving maneuvers of the vehicle can be carried out independently by the vehicle without the intervention of a driver of the vehicle
- Counter vehicle is for example a
- Motor vehicle such as automobile, passenger car, bus or truck. At least the vehicle is configured to pass the bottleneck autonomously, whereby the oncoming vehicle can also be set up to do so.
- the oncoming vehicle can thus also be a vehicle which does not drive autonomously or is mobile.
- the vehicle and the opposite vehicle can also be identical.
- the priority rule stored in the database can be
- the database can for example be part of a navigation system of the
- the driver assistance system can be set up for the method according to the invention
- the priority rule may include, for example, that the vehicle is waiting for the opposite vehicle, if an obstacle causing the bottleneck, for example, a vehicle parked on the lane, on a lane or on one side of the vehicle, and that the vehicle relative to the opposite vehicle enjoys a right of way, provided that the obstacle causing the bottleneck is on the lane or side of the other vehicle.
- an obstacle causing the bottleneck for example, a vehicle parked on the lane, on a lane or on one side of the vehicle
- the vehicle relative to the opposite vehicle enjoys a right of way, provided that the obstacle causing the bottleneck is on the lane or side of the other vehicle.
- the actual right of way can also help the latter
- Bottleneck e.g. that in the area of a bottleneck in the case of recognized oncoming traffic, there is no need to accelerate and caution, attention and mutual consideration must be ensured.
- the vehicle can stop in front of the bottleneck (with visual contact with the bottleneck), wait there and in particular watch the bottleneck and the oncoming vehicle. In other words, depending on the determined speed of
- the inventive method allows a
- an embodiment of the method further comprises the following
- the prediction of the response of the other vehicle indicates that the other vehicle will pass through the bottleneck or not clear the bottleneck for passage or that the priority system stored in the database provides that the vehicle does not have priority in the constriction
- the vehicle determines that the opposite vehicle has right of way or does not clear the bottleneck, the vehicle drives backwards out of the constriction to release the bottleneck to the passage for the opposite vehicle.
- the beginning of the bottleneck or the area before it thus serves as
- the vehicle only executes the avoid / stop position if it has determined that the rear area behind the vehicle is free, ie that no following vehicle will be in this area or will be located during the reverse drive.
- the following vehicle does not necessarily have to be inside the bottleneck.
- the vehicle can also use its sensors to determine whether a recognized following vehicle, which is not yet within the bottleneck, is expected to enter it and block an exit of the vehicle in the reverse direction out of the bottleneck.
- the following additional method steps are involved in a detected counter vehicle
- a stop or escape point e.g. a parking space
- the stop has a size sufficient for parking the vehicle
- subsequent vehicle is located behind the vehicle, wherein the subsequent vehicle prevents a reverse travel of the vehicle from the bottleneck out, and
- Predicting the response of the vehicle in question indicates that the opposite vehicle will pass through the bottleneck or not clear the bottleneck to pass or the priority system stored in the database provides that the vehicle has no priority in the bottleneck.
- the vehicle can determine alternate avoid / hold positions, e.g. in the form of
- a determination of a parameter of a complexity of a traffic situation in the area of the bottleneck takes place if the determination of the speed of the counter vehicle reveals that the opposite vehicle is stationary.
- a range of values is defined which defines a maximum elapsed time of a timer in seconds, and a random number of seconds is selected from the range of values, the timer corresponding to the selected number of seconds.
- the vehicle is moved autonomously within the bottleneck in the forward direction of the vehicle after the expiry of the timer and it is checked by means of the sensors, whether the bottleneck can be passed through the vehicle.
- This embodiment makes a contribution, under consideration of relevant parameters to resolve a traffic jam situation.
- the vehicle is supposed to emulate human behavior that decides depending on the situation (eg, there is still a truck behind me, a difficult passage is behind me, making a reverse drive is difficult, etc.), so as to with non-autonomous moving vehicles
- the complexity of the traffic situation in the area of the bottleneck can be determined particularly advantageously, for example on the basis of the criteria described below.
- it can influence whether a following vehicle is behind the vehicle. If so, this may result in a relatively low upper bound on the range of values. If not, the upper limit of the value range can be selected to be higher.
- it can be determined how many subsequent vehicles are behind the vehicle. The higher the number of following vehicles, the lower the upper limit of the value range can be selected.
- having a parking facility for the vehicle within the bottleneck may result in a higher upper limit of the range of values whereas a non-presence of a stop / escape location, eg a parking space, can result in a correspondingly lower upper limit of the value range for the vehicle within the bottleneck.
- the type of vehicles following the vehicle can influence the determination of the complexity of the traffic situation, for example by choosing the upper limit of the value range relatively low for a bus, truck, a vehicle with a novice driver and a police vehicle, depending on the category.
- it can be determined how complex the bottleneck has been up to now, eg whether the traffic routing has curves or a hilltop. With a correspondingly difficult or complex route, the upper limit of the value range can be selected to be correspondingly low.
- the method according to the present invention can be applied to both the vehicle and the counter vehicle.
- the range of values may be increased by at least one second, if the determination of the speed of the opposite vehicle and of the vehicle by means of the speed data detected by the sensors indicates that the vehicle and the counter vehicle are stationary or the vehicle and the counter vehicle in their respective forward direction drive. Increasing the timer expiration time reduces the likelihood that the vehicle and the vehicle will start up again at the same time.
- an evaluation of the specific parameter of the complexity of the traffic situation takes place in the area of the bottleneck and it is determined whether the
- Embodiment will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 9 of the drawing and allowed by the change of Range of values (increasing or decreasing the upper limit of the value range) preventing permanent jamming situations.
- the vehicle and the opposite vehicle may include the driver assistance system.
- driver assistance system Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawing. This shows

- FIG. 8 shows a complexity-value range diagram in FIG
- FIG. 9 is a flowchart for varying a range of values in FIG.
- Fig. 1 shows a vehicle 1, e.g. a car, the vehicle 1 autonomously on a right lane 2 and a right
- the vehicle 1 has sensors, e.g. a camera, a radar or a high-precision map and a GPS system, with which it continuously observes the width of the road 3. If the road 3 is wide enough that the vehicle 1 and a possibly oncoming counter vehicle (see FIG. 6) can pass the road 3 next to each other in opposite directions, no action to avoid a traffic jam situation is necessary.
- FIG. 2 shows the vehicle 1 from FIG. 1 on a further section of the road 3 according to FIG. 1, on which it detects a constriction 5 in the continuous observation of the width of the road 3, which parked by a plurality of consecutively on the right lane 2 Only one vehicle is provided with a reference numeral ("6") for the sake of clarity, and according to a trajectory 7 given to the vehicle 1, the vehicle 1 must pass through the constriction 5 on the left lane 4.
- the vehicle 1 checks by means of its sensors, whether there is an oncoming counter vehicle on the left lane 4 in an advance area 8. If so, the vehicle 1 will wait and observe in front of the constriction 5.
- the beginning 9 of the bottleneck 5 can the vehicle 1 as a fallback position Serve or stop position to allow potential oncoming traffic passing through the bottleneck 5.
- the vehicle 1 can stop or park behind the rearmost of the vehicles 6.
- the vehicle 1 observes the backward traffic and checks whether the traffic direction on its side allows it to reverse.
- Fig. 3 shows the vehicle 1, while it is going to pass through the bottleneck 5, wherein it by means of its sensors the
- the vehicle 1 detects by means of its sensors whether at least one following vehicle is behind the vehicle 1, wherein the following vehicle prevents or blocks a reverse movement of the vehicle 1 out of the constriction 5.
- the vehicle 1 further determines by comparing its current position (eg determined by a navigation system) with the stored position of the beginning 9 of the bottleneck 5 its current distance a to the beginning 9 of the bottleneck 5. If - as shown by Fig. 3 - no oncoming traffic and no subsequent vehicles are detected by the sensors, the vehicle 1 drives in his
- Vehicles are present or recognized, the vehicle 1 moves autonomously out of the constriction 5 in its forward direction.
- the vehicle 1 stores other environmental parameters such as any sharp turns, inclines or any other
- the autonomous vehicle 1 within the bottleneck 5 performs range measurements, observes both the traveled path 10 and the path 8 ahead, and stores salient ones
- Traffic difficulties curves, bottlenecks in the bottleneck, difficult to see sections, etc.
- the vehicle 1 shows the vehicle within a constriction 5, which is similar to the constriction 5 of FIG. 2, but a parking space 12 within the constriction 5 between the bottleneck 5 causing vehicles 6, wherein the parking space 12 is sufficiently large that the vehicle 1 can park autonomously in her.
- the vehicle 1 observes it, for example, by ultrasound, radar and / or a camera
- “Original” lanes that is, the right lane (on which it actually wants to drive, but due to the vehicles 6 can not) and it looks in the right environment 11 in advance area 8 and also in the aft area 10 of the vehicle 1 for parking spaces 12. Clearly the vehicle 1 selects only those parking spaces into which it could also enter, which are therefore large enough for parking in. If the vehicle 1 has recognized such a parking space 12, it "sets a new anchor", ie it determines the exact position of the parking space 12 and stores it as a new avoidance position or holding position (for the beginning 9 of the constriction 5 further back in the aft area 10). In other words, the vehicle 1 remembers the parking space 12 as a holding or parking alternative to the beginning of the bottleneck 5 5.
- Fig. 5 shows the vehicle 1 in measuring or determining a distance b between its current position and the position of the parking space. The calculation of the comparatively larger distance a between the current position of the vehicle 1 and the position of the start of the bottleneck can be dispensed with or this distance can be deleted.
- FIG. 6 shows the vehicle 1 on passing through a further constriction 5 on the road 3, wherein a vehicle 13 on the opposite side of the vehicle 1 is detected by means of the sensors of the vehicle 1.
- the vehicle 1 determines the
- the vehicle 1 can fall back on a database in which a right of way regulation is deposited, which the
- Lane 2 of the vehicle 1 is located. Based on at least the determined speed (and optionally the
- Driver assistance system of the vehicle 1 further precedes a reaction of the counter vehicle 13, in the situation shown by way of example, for example, that the counter vehicle 13 continues its forward drive to pass the constriction 5. Under these conditions, the driver assistance system will instruct the vehicle 1 to set and stop its procedure through the bottleneck 5.
- the vehicle searches 1 on the right lane 2 for parking spaces 12, which are located in front of the counter vehicle 13. If a sufficiently large parking space 12 was found for parking the vehicle 1, the vehicle 1 can autonomously park in this parking space 12, there the bottleneck 5 and the movement of the
- FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a method according to the invention for the autonomous driving of the vehicle according to FIG. 1 through a constriction, for example the constriction according to FIG
- a right-of-way regulation for the bottleneck is stored in a database which the vehicle can access, and the bottleneck is detected by means of sensors of the vehicle.
- step 100 it is checked by means of the sensors of the moving vehicle whether a vehicle approaching the vehicle in the vicinity of the bottleneck and - if a counter vehicle has been detected - determined in step 200 by means of the sensors, whether the
- step 200 If the test in step 200 shows that the
- the vehicle is not located within the bottleneck, the vehicle is stopped in step 300 before the bottleneck, where it waits and observed both the bottleneck and the opposite vehicle. In doing so, the vehicle checks whether the opposite vehicle will block the bottleneck or not, e.g. because it has already passed through the bottleneck through a forward drive, through a
- the respective counter vehicle may likewise be a vehicle which by means of the invention
- the method is also applicable if only the vehicle according to the invention can drive autonomously and not the opposite vehicle.
- step 200 If the test in step 200 shows that the
- Negative vehicle is already located within the bottleneck, it is concluded that the bottleneck is blocked by the opposite vehicle for a passage of the vehicle.
- step 500 the vehicle is stopped and the speed of the opposite vehicle is measured. If it is found that the opposite vehicle is stationary, i. If a speed "zero" is determined, a determination or retrieval of a parameter of a traffic situation or its complexity takes place in step 600. Depending on the specific parameter, a value range is determined in step 700, which is a maximum
- Timer expiration time defined.
- a higher complexity can lead to a smaller value range or a lower maximum timer runtime, whereas a lower complexity can lead to a larger value range or a higher maximum timer runtime.
- Timer expiration time in seconds (y-axis).
- the parameter can be set relatively high if there are following vehicles behind the vehicle, which are difficult to reverse or turn around, which corresponds to a relatively high complexity of the traffic situation (value "3" on the x-axis)
- the x-axis is assigned a value range from 0s to 4s, ie a maximum
- the parameter can also be set relatively low (value "1" on the x-axis), if eg a free one Parking within the bottleneck near the vehicle exists, resulting in a relatively low complexity of
- Parameter 1 on the x-axis is assigned a value range from Os to 10s, ie a maximum timer expiration time of 10s.
- An average parameter value "2" on the x-axis can be determined, for example, if the routes are difficult to see backward of the vehicle, which corresponds to an average complexity of the traffic situation assigned to 7s, that is a maximum timer expiration time of 7s.
- a next step 800 randomly selected a number of seconds, e.g. 3s, and a timer is started which, depending on the selected number of seconds, e.g. 3s, expires.
- a timer is started which, depending on the selected number of seconds, e.g. 3s, expires.
- step 900a the vehicle resumes its passage to pass the bottleneck in step 900a and checks in step 910a by means of the sensors whether the situation is resolved, in particular whether the opposite vehicle is also moving forward and thereby the bottleneck is still blocked by the opposite vehicle or not. If the test indicates that the situation is resolved, the procedure is repeated from step 100, continuing or resuming driving the vehicle.
- step 910a shows that the situation is not resolved, eg because the vehicle detects that the vehicle is moving forward by means of its sensors, it is checked in step 920a by means of the sensors if the vehicle is within the bottleneck parking available parking space. If so, the vehicle parks in the parking space in step 930a. From the parking space the vehicle observes in step 940a by means of its sensors Bottleneck and the opposite vehicle. Once the vehicle determines that the subject vehicle is no longer blocking the bottleneck to pass the first vehicle, the vehicle parks out of the parking space at step 950a and the process is re-run from step 100 continuing to drive the vehicle.
- step 970a Value ranges or timer expiration times are increased in step 970a by a definable number of seconds, e.g. by one second, and the process is run again from step 800, with the vehicle and the vehicle in opposition to each other
- Likelihood reduces the vehicle and the opposite vehicle at the same time start again. If the opposite vehicle is then e.g. in step 900a earlier than the vehicle is starting again, the vehicle may initiate a reverse drive and try to park in a last detected parking space (if detected) or leave the bottleneck by reversing, watching the other vehicle. If, on the other hand, it should observe that the vehicle in question moves into a parking space or in turn leaves the bottleneck by driving backwards, the vehicle can continue its forward movement. If in step 500 a negative speed of the
- FIG. 9 shows how, in a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, a value range can be changed in order to avoid a permanent congestion situation.
- a value range is defined in a step 101, for example as described in conjunction with FIGS. 7 and 8.
- step 102 it is checked whether there is a new congestion situation with the same counter vehicle. If this test is negative, a default value is selected in step 103 and it is checked in step 104 whether parameters of a complexity of a traffic situation (see FIGS. 7 and 8) are present. If not, the method continues with step 112, where a
- Random value is selected from the range of values. If so, in step 105, a parameter of complexity becomes
- step 106 it is checked whether or not the present situation makes it difficult to continue the vehicle in the forward direction or in the backward direction. If not, the value range is increased in step 107 and the method is run again from step 104. If yes, it is checked in step 108 whether the current value range is greater than ls. If so, the value range is reduced in step 109 and the process is repeated from step 105.
- step 110 If the check in step 102 is positive, a check is made in step 110 as to whether changed parameters have occurred since a last evaluation. If this is the case, the method is continued with step 103. If this is not the case, the value range is increased in step 111 and a random value is selected from the value range in step 112.
