An autonomous vehicle is a kind of intelligent vehicle, can also be referred to as a wheeled mobile robot, and mainly relies on an intelligent pilot based on a computer system in the vehicle to realize autonomous driving. One goal of the autonomous vehicle is to make passengers feel better when riding. In the process of research, development and test of autonomous driving, the feelings of passengers need to be frequently evaluated during the driving process of the vehicle to verify whether the planning of the vehicle needs improvement. Therefore, the effectiveness and efficiency of body feeling evaluation are crucial to the research and development of the autonomous driving.
At present, the body feeling evaluation of autonomous driving in the industry is mainly based on a method of subjective evaluation, so the evaluation results are subjectively affected. During the body feeling evaluation, since the human body feeling tolerance increases with repeated tests, the accuracy of the evaluation results may gradually decrease and the evaluation results are difficult to quantify.

It should be understood that the content described in this section is neither intended to identify key or important features of embodiments of the present disclosure, nor intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Other features of the present disclosure will become readily understood in conjunction with the following description.
The accompanying drawings are used to better understand the solution and do not constitute limitations to the present disclosure.
Example embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of embodiments of the present disclosure to contribute to understanding, which should be considered merely as examples. Therefore, those of ordinary skills in the art should realize that various alterations and modifications can be made to embodiments described here without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
The technology of embodiments of the present disclosure solves the technical problems in the existing technology that the evaluation results are subjectively affected and the body feeling evaluation is inaccurate and difficult to quantify. The technical solution provided in embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the accuracy of body feeling evaluation, reduce the one-sidedness of subjective evaluation, and can also obtain quantified results of body feeling measurement.
The autonomous driving process of the vehicle may be divided into three stages: start, driving, and stop, and the three stages may also be subdivided. The start stage may be divided into straight, curve, ramp, and follow starts according to scenarios. The driving stage may be discussed from simple to complex due to various behaviors of autonomous driving, and main behaviors may be abstracted from the scenarios. On a simple straight road, the autonomous vehicle may cruise and follow, which require separate body feeling evaluations. The body feeling evaluations are also required for left and right turning scenarios and U-turn scenarios, respectively. In view of the impact of an obstacle on the autonomous vehicle, an intelligent obstacle avoidance behavior needs to be evaluated separately to evaluate the behavior of driving in under continuous traffic flow. In addition, regardless of obstacles, the autonomous vehicle has lane changing behaviors. Further, there may be various traffic signs on the road, such as speed bumps, stop yield signs, and deceleration yield signs that have a great impact on body feeling. For the stop stage, the autonomous vehicle has several situations such as sideways stop, curve stop, ramp stop and follow stop, and the automatic parking function also needs to be considered accordingly. According to the above analysis, the specific scenarios that are more likely to cause body feeling discomfort during the driving process of the vehicle may be shown in Table 1 below:
For the 12 driving behaviors in Table 1 that are more likely to cause body feeling discomfort, the body feeling can be evaluated for each specific scenario in the driving behaviors by using the method for evaluating a body feeling of a vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure to obtain more accurate, fair and objective evaluations on the comfort level of the autonomous vehicle. Meanwhile, the body feeling evaluation scores of the autonomous vehicle can be used as an important reference for the improvement of the autonomous vehicle.
In this step, during the driving process of the vehicle, the electronic device may measure the pressure, acting on each measurement region of the target riding apparatus, of the measured object under the current weight through at least one preset pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period. The measured object in embodiments of the present disclosure may be a real passenger or a passenger model equivalent to the weight of an adult. When the passenger model is used as the measured object, the weight of the passenger model may be adjusted by adding or releasing liquid in the model. Therefore, when the measured object is under different weights, different objective body feeling evaluation scores may be calculated using the same method, and a change curve of the objective body feeling evaluation scores of the measured object under different weights can be drawn.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the target riding apparatus may be a seat on which the measured object sits when riding, including the following seat units: a headrest, a backrest, a seat cushion and armrests. Therefore, at least one pressure sensing unit may be arranged on only one or a few of the seat units, or at least one pressure sensing unit may be arranged on each seat unit, which is not limited here.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure sensing unit may be a single pressure sensor, or may be a sensing unit in a pressure sensor.
In this step, the electronic device may calculate the pressure intensity generated by the pressure of the measured object acting on each measurement region according to the pressure on each measurement region measured by each pressure sensing unit and the predetermined individual size of each pressure sensing unit. Specifically, each pressure sensing unit may measure, in its corresponding measurement region, a pressure of the measured object on the measurement region; and then calculate a pressure intensity generated by the pressure of the measured object on the measurement region by means of the following equation:
where F represents the pressure of the measured object measured by the current pressure sensing unit on the corresponding measurement region; S represents a force area of the current pressure sensor; and P represents the pressure intensity generated by the pressure of the measured object on the measurement region.
In this step, the electronic device may determine the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight according to the measured pressure acting on each measurement region and the calculated pressure intensity generated by the pressure acting on each measurement region. Specifically, the electronic device may determine the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight according to the measured pressure acting on each measurement region and a predetermined pressure evaluation weight value, and the calculated pressure intensity generated by the pressure acting on each measurement region and a predetermined pressure intensity evaluation weight value.
In this step, the electronic device may calculate the comprehensive body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period according to the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight and the predetermined subjective body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period. Specifically, the electronic device may calculate a statistical value of the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight and the predetermined subjective body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period as the comprehensive body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period. For example, the statistical value may include a mean square error or a standard deviation.
In the method for evaluating a body feeling of a vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a pressure of a measured object acting on each measurement region of a target riding apparatus under a current weight is first measured by at least one pressure sensing unit within a measurement time period; then, a pressure intensity generated by the pressure of the measured object acting on each measurement region is calculated according to the pressure on each measurement region measured by each pressure sensing unit and an individual size of each pressure sensing unit; next, an objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight is determined according to the measured pressure acting on each measurement region and the calculated pressure intensity generated by the pressure acting on each measurement region; and finally, a comprehensive body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period is calculated according to the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight and a predetermined subjective body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period. That is to say, embodiments of the present disclosure may determine the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight by means of measuring pressure values through the pressure sensing units, and the score does not rely on the subjective feeling of the passenger and can relatively objectively evaluate the riding experience of the vehicle. The existing method for evaluating a body feeling of a vehicle is mainly based on a method of subjective evaluation, so the evaluation result is subjectively affected. Because embodiments of the present disclosure use the technical means of measuring the pressure on each measurement region through at least one pressure sensing unit during the driving process of the vehicle, the technical problems in the existing technology that the body feeling evaluation is inaccurate and difficult to quantify are overcome. The technical solution provided in embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the accuracy of body feeling evaluation, reduce the one-sidedness of subjective evaluation, and obtain the quantified result of the body feeling measurement. In addition, the technical solution of embodiments of the present disclosure is simple and convenient to implement and easy to popularize, and has a wider application range.
In this step, during the driving process of the vehicle, the electronic device may measure the acceleration of the vehicle at each time point during the driving process through the preset inertial measurement unit. The inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an apparatus that measures a three-axis attitude angle (or angular velocity) of an object and the acceleration. Generally, the IMU includes three single-axis accelerometers and three single-axis gyroscopes, the accelerometers detect acceleration signals of the object on three independent axes of a coordinate system of a carrier, while the gyroscopes detect angular velocity signals of the carrier relative to a navigation coordinate system, measure the angular velocity and acceleration of the object in a three-dimensional space, and calculate the attitude of the object.
In this step, the electronic device may determine the acceleration distributed in each acceleration interval within at least one time period according to the acceleration of the vehicle at each time point during the driving process and the predetermined start driving time and end driving time of the vehicle. Specifically, the electronic device may divide the driving period of the vehicle from the start driving time to the end driving time into a plurality of time periods according to the predetermined start driving time and end driving time of the vehicle; then, assign the acceleration of the vehicle at each time point during the driving process into the corresponding time period; and determine the acceleration distributed in each acceleration interval within each time period according to the acceleration within each time period; where the number of the acceleration intervals and the boundary value of each interval may be predefined. For example, the acceleration intervals may include: a first interval, a second interval, and a third interval; where the first interval is 0-2 m/s2; the second interval is 2-4 m/s2; and the third interval is 4-6 m/s2. The first interval having a small acceleration value can be referred to as a low-level interval; the second interval having a medium acceleration value can be referred to as a middle-level interval; and the third interval having a large acceleration value can be referred to as a high-level interval. The numbers of the low-level interval, the medium-level interval, and the high-level interval in embodiments of the present disclosure may be one or more. For example, assuming that the start driving time of the vehicle is 0:00, and the end driving time of the vehicle is 1:00; then, during the driving process of the vehicle, the driving period of 0:00-1:00 may be divided into a plurality of time periods. The number of the time periods may be determined according to the road conditions during the driving process of the vehicle; and the length of each time period may be the same or different. For example, the driving period of 0:00-1:00 may be divided into three time periods, respectively a first time period, a second time period, and a third time period; where, the first time period is 0:00-0:20; the second time period is 0:20-0:40; the third time period is 0:40-1:00; then, the acceleration at each time point may be assigned into the corresponding time period; and the acceleration distributed in each acceleration interval within each time period is determined according to the acceleration within each time period.
In this step, the electronic device may determine, according to the acceleration distributed in each acceleration interval within each time period, one of the at least one time period as a measurement time period. For example, when a plurality of accelerations are distributed in one or more high-level acceleration intervals, it indicates that the vehicle does not drive steadily within this time period, so this time period may be excluded when determining the measurement time period. Specifically, during the driving process of the vehicle, the acceleration is prone to drastic change when the vehicle passes through uneven regions. Therefore, when determining the measurement time period, the time period during which the acceleration changes drastically should be excluded.
In the method for evaluating a body feeling of a vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a pressure of a measured object acting on each measurement region of a target riding apparatus under a current weight is first measured by at least one pressure sensing unit within a measurement time period; then, a pressure intensity generated by the pressure of the measured object acting on each measurement region is calculated according to the pressure on each measurement region measured by each pressure sensing unit and a predetermined individual size of each pressure sensing unit; next, an objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight is determined according to the measured pressure acting on each measurement region and the calculated pressure intensity generated by the pressure acting on each measurement region; and finally, a comprehensive body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period is calculated according to the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight and a predetermined subjective body feeling evaluation score of the vehicle driving within the measurement time period. That is to say, embodiments of the present disclosure may determine the objective body feeling evaluation score of the measured object under the current weight by means of measuring pressure values through the pressure sensing units, and the score does not rely on the subjective feeling of the passenger and can relatively objectively evaluate the riding experience of the vehicle. The existing method for evaluating a body feeling of a vehicle is mainly based on a method of subjective evaluation, so the evaluation result is subjectively affected. Because embodiments of the present disclosure use the technical means of measuring the pressure on each measurement region through at least one pressure sensing unit during the driving process of the vehicle, the technical problems in the existing technology that the body feeling evaluation is inaccurate and difficult to quantify are overcome. The technical solution provided in embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the accuracy of body feeling evaluation, reduce the one-sidedness of subjective evaluation, and obtain the quantified result of the body feeling measurement. In addition, the technical solution of embodiments of the embodiment of the present disclosure is simple and convenient to implement and easy to popularize, and has a wider application range.
In this step, the electronic device may calculate the statistical value of the pressures of the measured object acting on the measurement regions according to the measured pressure acting on each measurement region. Specifically, the electronic device may first obtain a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure acting on each measurement region measured by each pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period; and then calculate an average value of the pressures acting on the measurement regions measured by the at least one pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period according to the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure acting on each measurement region measured by each pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period and a predetermined number of the at least one pressure sensing unit. Specifically, the average value of the pressures acting on the measurement regions measured by the at least one pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period is determined by the following equation:
where E1 represents the average value of the pressures acting on the measurement regions measured by the at least one pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period; n represents the number of the at least one pressure sensing unit; i represents an order of a current pressure sensing unit in the at least one pressure sensing unit; xi_max represents the maximum value of the pressure acting on the corresponding measurement region measured by the ith pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period; and xi_min represents the minimum value of the pressure acting on the corresponding measurement region measured by the ith pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period.
In this step, the electronic device may calculate, according to the calculated pressure intensity generated by the pressure acting on each measurement region, the statistical value of the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold among the pressure intensities generated by the pressures of the measured object acting on the measurement regions. Specifically, the electronic device may first extract the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold from the calculated pressure intensities generated by the pressures acting on the measurement regions, and count a number of the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold; and then calculate an average value of the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold among the pressure intensities generated by the pressures of the measured object acting on the measurement regions according to the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold, the number of the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold, and the predetermined number of the at least one pressure sensing unit. Alternatively, the preset threshold in the present disclosure may be 12 KPa. Specifically, the average value of the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold among the pressure intensities generated by the pressures of the measured object acting on the measurement regions is determined by the following equation:
where, E2 represents the average value of the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold among the pressure intensities generated by the pressures of the measured object acting on the measurement regions; n represents the number of the at least one pressure sensing unit; j represents the order of the current pressure sensing unit in the pressure sensing units that have measured the pressure intensities greater than the preset threshold; and xj represents the pressure intensity greater than the preset threshold measured by the jth pressure sensing unit within the measurement time period.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, for each specific scenario of each driving behavior, the same subjective scoring standard may be used to subjectively evaluate the comfort. According to the ANSI/SAE J1441 standard, scores 1-4 indicate that the body feeling is unacceptable, and the functions related to the body feeling of the autonomous vehicle need to be redesigned; scores 5-6 indicate that the body feeling is acceptable, but there is room for further improvement; and score 7 and above indicate that there is no problem or very few problems with the body feeling, and the body feeling has reached the body feeling requirement of the passenger for the autonomous vehicle. Specifically, the subjective body feeling evaluation scores and the corresponding meanings and explanations of the scores may be shown in Table 2 below:

The existing method for evaluating a body feeling of a vehicle is mainly based on a method of subjective evaluation, so the evaluation result is subjectively affected. Because embodiments of the present disclosure use the technical means of measuring the pressure on each measurement region through at least one pressure sensing unit during the driving process of the vehicle, the technical problems in the existing technology that the body feeling evaluation is inaccurate and difficult to quantify are overcome. The technical solution provided in embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the accuracy of body feeling evaluation, reduce the one-sidedness of subjective evaluation, and obtain the quantified result of the body feeling measurement. In addition, the technical solution of embodiments of the present disclosure is simple and convenient to implement and easy to popularize, and has a wider application range.
