Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for detecting the shape of a road on which the vehicle travels, and an apparatus for performing vehicle travel control based on information on the detected road shape.
- the shape information of the road on which the vehicle travels is used.
- the map information of the car navigation device mounted on the vehicle is used to recognize the shape of the road, but in the case of the map information of the car navigation device, it is often installed in the vehicle. Since it is recorded in the recorded recording device, it does not necessarily reflect the current state of the road.
- the position detection accuracy of the GPS (Global Position System) used in the car navigation device is rough compared to the width of the road and the shape of the curve, so it is difficult to say that the information is sufficient for driving support.
- a technology has been developed in which a radar device mounted on a traveling vehicle is used to detect the shape of a traveling road and the information on the road shape is used for traveling support.
- a radar device mounted on a traveling vehicle is used to detect the shape of a traveling road and the information on the road shape is used for traveling support.
- a group consisting of adjacent points is extracted, and this group If the connecting length of the points belonging to is equal to or longer than a certain length, the point is considered to reflect the target existing on the road side, and is thus recognized as the shape of the traveling road.
- the speed of the vehicle is controlled to be maintained at a preset speed unless the operator steps on the brake.
- the set vehicle speed is too high, and the operation of the ACC system is canceled by the driver's brake operation. That is, in the prior art, since the speed adjustment by the ACC system does not correspond to the curve shape, the ACC system cannot operate efficiently.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to accurately detect information related to a curve shape of a traveling road of a vehicle.
- the corresponding straight lines corresponding to the left and right edges of the road and extending in the traveling direction on the left and right sides of the vehicle are calculated, and the left and right corresponding straight lines are used.
- the information corresponding to the curve shape of the traveling road is detected. This makes it possible to accurately recognize the curve shape of the road on which the vehicle is traveling.
- the traveling direction of the vehicle may be referred to as a vertical direction
- the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction may be referred to as a horizontal direction.
- the expressions “proximal” and “distal” are expressions based on the distance to the vehicle in the traveling direction (longitudinal direction). Therefore, “distal” means being located farther from the vehicle in the direction of travel (longitudinal direction) than “proximal”.
- the present invention is located in the traveling direction of the vehicle, which is mounted on the vehicle and is obtained by receiving the reflected wave that is transmitted from the transmitting antenna and reflected by the target.
- a representative point calculation unit that calculates a representative point corresponding to the shape of the traveling road of the vehicle, and based on the position information of a plurality of representative points detected by the representative point calculation unit A straight line corresponding to the left edge of the road and extending in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and a straight line corresponding to the right edge of the road and extending in the direction of movement of the vehicle.
- a corresponding straight line calculating unit that calculates at least one of the corresponding straight lines, and a distal end of each corresponding straight line of the corresponding straight lines calculated by the corresponding straight line calculating unit is located proximal to the vehicle.
- a reference corresponding straight line setting unit that sets a corresponding straight line as a reference corresponding straight line, and when the corresponding straight line calculating unit calculates the left corresponding straight line and the right corresponding straight line, the left corresponding straight line and the right corresponding straight line In a region that is sandwiched and extends in the traveling direction of the vehicle and is distal to the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line, the position information of the representative point calculated by the representative point calculation unit
- a curve information detection unit for detecting information related to the curve shape of the travel road.
- the road information detection apparatus detects the information on the curve shape of the traveling road using the position information of the representative points calculated by the representative point calculation unit.
- the representative point calculated by the representative point calculation unit is a point corresponding to the shape of the traveling road, and is formed based on the reception result of the reflected wave reflected by the target.
- the representative points can be calculated by applying various conventional techniques.
- the stationary target corresponding to the received reflected wave is set to a predetermined condition. A plurality of points collected and grouped and points calculated so as to reflect on average the position information of stationary targets contained therein can be adopted as representative points.
- the corresponding straight line calculating unit calculates the left and right corresponding straight lines that extend along the traveling direction of the vehicle using the calculated representative points.
- These corresponding straight lines are virtual lines corresponding to the left and right edges of the road that are calculated on the assumption that the road where the vehicle is currently located extends linearly. It is.
- the corresponding straight line is a straight line having a finite length because it is calculated depending on the calculated representative point. Then, based on the predetermined condition for the reference corresponding straight line setting unit to effectively calculate the curve shape of the draft road for the left corresponding straight line and the right corresponding straight line calculated by the corresponding straight line calculating unit, The corresponding straight line is set as the reference corresponding straight line.
- the reference corresponding straight line is a corresponding straight line used as reference information when the curve information detecting unit detects curve information.
- the calculated corresponding straight line is set as the reference corresponding straight line.
- the curve information detection unit Information relating to the curve shape of the traveling road is detected based on the calculated position information of the representative point.
- the region to be processed is a region sandwiched between the left and right corresponding straight lines and is therefore a region extending in the traveling direction of the vehicle, and is located more distally than the most distal end of the reference corresponding line. Since this is an area, if there is a possibility that the traveling road may shift from a straight line part to a curved part, the area where the curved part starts can be included.
- the curve information detection unit can detect information related to the curve shape of the traveling road based on the calculated representative point.
- the road information detection apparatus can accurately detect information on the shape of the traveling road of the vehicle, in particular, the curve shape, by using the representative point calculated by the representative point calculation unit. It becomes.
- the curve information detection unit is based on the position information of the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line in addition to the position information of the representative point in the processing target region. You may comprise so that the information regarding the curve shape of a traveling road may be detected. Since the information on the curve shape of the road detected by the curve information detection unit can be assumed to start further distally than the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line, the position information of the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line is considered. By doing so, it is possible to more accurately grasp the starting point of the curve shape of the traveling road.
- the nearest end of the non-reference corresponding straight line that does not correspond to the reference corresponding straight line among the left corresponding straight line and the right corresponding straight line calculated by the corresponding straight line calculating unit is When located on the distal side of the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line, the curve information detecting unit is an area extending in the traveling direction of the vehicle between the left corresponding straight line and the right corresponding straight line.
- the position of the representative point calculated by the representative point calculation unit in the processing target region that is a region distal to the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line and the proximal end of the non-reference corresponding straight line You may comprise so that the information regarding the curve shape of the said travel road may be detected based on information.
- the processing target region for the curve information detection unit to detect the information of the curve shape of the traveling road is a region sandwiched between the left-side corresponding straight line and the right-side corresponding straight line, from the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line.
- the non-reference correspondence straight line may not accurately grasp the edge of the actual driving road, but the position information of the nearest end of the non-reference correspondence straight line is the boundary of the curve shape of the driving road. It can also be used as information. Based on the fact that the greater the number of position information related to the curve shape, the more accurately the curve shape can be recognized, the curve information detection unit, in addition to the position information of the representative point in the processing target region, the non-standard correspondence Information on the curve shape of the travel road may be detected based on position information of the nearest end of the straight line.
- the curve information detecting unit detects information on the curve shape of the traveling road, Information regarding the edge of the traveling road related to the reference corresponding straight line may be prohibited from being used as information regarding the shape of the traveling road. Thereby, the shape recognition of the incorrect traveling road can be avoided.
- the reference corresponding straight line setting unit may set the calculated corresponding straight line as the reference corresponding straight line.
- the curve information detection unit is a virtual corresponding straight line that is separated from the reference corresponding straight line by a first predetermined distance from the corresponding straight line side that is not calculated by the corresponding straight line calculating unit among the left corresponding straight line and the right corresponding straight line.
- the first predetermined distance may be a distance corresponding to a general width of a traveling road, may be a fixed value, or may be a road width value obtained from map information of a car navigation device.
- the representative point calculated by the representative point calculation unit in the processing target region The position of the representative point that is separated from the most distal end of the reference corresponding straight line by a distance exceeding the second predetermined distance along the traveling direction of the vehicle and that is located within the third predetermined distance in the lateral direction with respect to the reference corresponding straight line. Information may not be used.
- the representative point is not used for the processing by the curve information detection unit so that the representative point is not reflected in the detection of the curve shape of the traveling road.
- the said 2nd predetermined distance and the 3rd predetermined distance suitably as long as it meets the above-mentioned technical idea.
- the representative point is calculated by the representative point calculation unit in the processing target region. That is, a representative point that is distant from the nearest representative point by the fourth predetermined distance is hardly considered to be a representative point that substantially reflects the curve shape of the traveling road. Therefore, it is preferable that the representative point is not used for the processing by the curve information detection unit so that the representative point is not reflected in the detection of the curve shape of the traveling road. In addition, what is necessary is just to set the said 4th predetermined distance suitably as long as it meets the above-mentioned technical idea.
- the road information detection apparatus can accurately detect information related to the curve shape of the traveling road of the vehicle by using the representative points calculated by the representative point calculation unit. Then, by using this detected information for vehicle travel control, it is possible to perform appropriate vehicle drive control according to the curve shape of the travel road. That is, it is a vehicle travel control device that acquires road information from the road information detection device described above and performs travel control of the vehicle, and is information relating to the curve shape of the travel road detected by the curve information detection unit. Then, traveling control of the vehicle is performed based on at least one of the distance from the vehicle to the curve start point of the traveling road and the curve size of the traveling road.

Abstract
Description
(1)左側対応直線が基準対応直線である場合
縦距離差Ld=右側対応直線(非基準対応直線)の最近位端の縦位置-左側対応直線(基準対応直線)の最遠位端の縦位置
(2)右側対応直線が基準対応直線である場合
縦距離差Ld=左側対応直線(非基準対応直線)の最近位端の縦位置-右側対応直線(基準対応直線)の最遠位端の縦位置
すなわち、縦距離差は、車両1の進行方向において、各対応直線の相関を示すパラメータである。
また、S105では、走行道路の道路幅が上記プロパティとして、右側対応直線の横位置と左側対応直線の横位置の差から算出される。S105の処理後、図3に示す対応直線取得処理が終了する。
以上より、対応直線取得処理および道路形状情報取得処理によれば、車両1が走行する走行道路の形状情報を的確に検出することが可能となる。その結果、当該形状情報を車両安全制御装置5の道路形状判別部52が取得し、走行状態にある車両1がどのようなカーブ形状の道路を走行しているかを判別することができる。そこで、アラーム報知部53やシートベル制御部54がその判別結果に従って、必要なタイミングで障害物存在のアラームをドライバー2に報知したり、シートベルト4を介して注意を喚起したりすることができる。たとえば、カーブの開始地点辺りに障害物が存在している場合、ドライバー2はカーブ動作に入っているため障害物を比較的容易に回避することができるため、そのような場合でのアラーム報知等は不必要な処理と考えられる。そこで、障害物検出部51によって進行方向に障害物が検出された場合であっても、車両1の進行方向の道路形状がカーブ形状であれば、アラーム報知部53やシートベルト制御部54による注意喚起の処理が行われないようにしてもよい。なお、直線形状の走行通路に障害物が存在すると判断される場合には、アラーム報知等の注意喚起処理が行われる。これにより、ドライバー2にいたずらに不快感を与えないとともに、本当に必要な障害物の回避をドライバー2に対して的確に伝えることが可能となる。
また、道路情報検出装置10からの道路形状情報を車両走行制御装置6の道路形状判別部63が取得し、走行状態にある車両1がどのようなカーブ形状の道路を走行しているかを判別することができる。そこで、車速調整部64がその判別結果に従って、必要なタイミングで車両1の速度を適切に調整することができる。たとえば、車両1の前方に車両が存在しないため、車間距離制御部61によって車両1の速度が一定速度に維持されているときに、車両1の進行方向の道路形状がカーブ形状であると判定されれば、自動的に車両1の速度を当該カーブ形状に適して速度まで低下させて、ドライバー2がブレーキ操作を行わなくてもカーブを安全に走行できる状態を作ることができる。その結果、車間距離制御部61による車両の走行制御がキャンセルされることなく継続されることになる。
