DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Example embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the 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 may be made to the embodiments described here without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for clearness and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.



FIG. 1 shows a process 100 of a method for processing vehicle-road information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for processing vehicle-road collaboration information includes the following step 101 to step 105.


Step 101 includes receiving road-end sensing information of a to-be-tested vehicle and route information of the to-be-tested vehicle.


In the present embodiment, the to-be-tested vehicle may be an autonomous vehicle, route information for which has been acquired from a server prior to traveling. The route information is specific travel trajectory information of the to-be-tested vehicle, and the travel trajectory information includes names of stations where the to-be-tested vehicle stops or passes by, a time period in which the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at each station on a route corresponding to the route information, a stop duration at each station, and the like.


In the present embodiment, the road-end sensing information is information sensed by a road side sensor in real time, and the road side sensor includes: a high-definition camera, a lidar, and a millimeter wave radar. For example, the high-definition camera collects positions and speeds of vehicles and pedestrians within a view angle range thereof, and performs statistics on real-time traffic flow on the road; the millimeter wave radar may acquire information, such as types, positions, and speeds of the vehicles, and the positions and the speeds of the pedestrians; and the lidar may be used for detecting information such as a vehicle congestion/queuing status, a vehicle position and type, a wrong traveling direction, visibility (fog), and human and animal. Raw data obtained by these sensors will be transmitted to an executing body on which the method for processing vehicle-road collaboration information runs for data fusion.


In the present embodiment, the executing body on which the method for processing vehicle-road collaboration information runs may be a processor on the to-be-tested vehicle, or may be a cloud server that communicates with the to-be-tested vehicle, or may be an electronic device that communicates with the to-be-tested vehicle. The executing body may acquire the road-end sensing information and the route information of the to-be-tested vehicle by various approaches. For example, the executing body acquires the road-end sensing information directly from the road side sensor, and acquires the route information of the to-be-tested vehicle from an OBU (on-board unit) of the to-be-tested vehicle, or acquires stored road-end sensing information and route information from a data server.


In the present embodiment, the to-be-tested vehicle may also be an ordinary vehicle, and may be provided with a GPS (global positioning system). When a running condition of the to-be-tested vehicle in a road segment where the to-be-tested vehicle is currently located is detected, positioning information of the to-be-tested vehicle may be acquired by the GPS. The positioning information of the to-be-tested vehicle includes: running positions of the to-be-tested vehicle, countdown data of the to-be-tested vehicle at each running position, a specific time point of the to-be-tested vehicle at each running position, relevant information of the to-be-tested vehicle at each running position, and the like. The route information of the to-be-tested vehicle may be obtained based on the positioning information, and the route information may include real-time position and time information of the to-be-tested vehicle.


Step 102 includes fusing preset map data based on the road-end sensing information and the route information, to generate a visualized scenario of the to-be-tested vehicle.


In the present embodiment, the visualized scenario is obtained by fusing the map data based on the road-end sensing information and the route information of the to-be-tested vehicle. The visualized scenario may include an image, a picture, and a three-dimensional scenario diagram, and prompt information, such as a text prompt content of a robot in FIG. 2, may be further displayed in the visualized scenario in real time. Specifically, contents displayed in the visualized scenario may be, e.g., road facilities, green scenery, and humans around a road where the to-be-tested vehicle is located, specifically as shown in FIG. 2.


In the present embodiment, the road facilities may be road traffic facilities, and the road traffic facilities may be: roadways, sidewalks, isolation barriers, gutter aprons, side stones, tactile paving, isolation piles, various threading wells, traffic lights, and the like. Each road traffic facility has its own specification requirements.


It should be noted that the visualized scenario may further support an augmented reality technology. For example, the robot in FIG. 2 is a virtual character based on the augmented reality technology. The visualized scenario may further include: an image captured by a photographing apparatus in real time after navigation using an application that supports augmented reality on the to-be-tested vehicle, such as an accident scenario diagram in FIG. 2.


Step 103 includes receiving vehicle-end information and traffic control information when the to-be-tested vehicle is travelling on a route corresponding to the route information.


In the present embodiment, the vehicle-end information is vehicle information when the to-be-tested vehicle travels on the route corresponding to the route information, and the vehicle information is information related to the to-be-tested vehicle, such as mileage, a speed, current fuel consumption, and a steering angle of the vehicle. An actual running state and performance of the vehicle may be determined based on the vehicle-end information.


In the present embodiment, the traffic control information is vehicle running control information sent from a vehicle traffic control center, where the traffic control information includes: a control signal of each traffic light on the route where the to-be-tested vehicle is located. The control signal of the traffic light includes: a command light signal, a lane light signal, and a change or control condition of a crosswalk light signal, for example, a switching time of a traffic light. The traffic control information may further include: road restriction information, for example, a speed limit of a road segment corresponding to the route information is 30 km/h.


In the present embodiment, when the to-be-tested vehicle runs on the route corresponding to the route information, the vehicle-end information changes in real time, and change information based on the vehicle-end information may provide an effective indication for the to-be-tested vehicle or other vehicles. For example, in a road segment M with a speed limit of 30 km/h, if the vehicle speed of the to-be-tested vehicle is greater than 50 km/h, the to-be-tested vehicle is determined to be a dangerous vehicle.


Step 104 includes extracting dynamic change data in the road-end sensing information and in the vehicle-end information.


In the present embodiment, the road-end sensing information is information associated with the to-be-tested vehicle, and the dynamic change data in the road-end sensing information is also data that changes dynamically relative to the to-be-tested vehicle, for example, vehicle distance variation between the to-be-tested vehicle and a surrounding vehicle, a distance between the to-be-tested vehicle and a surrounding pedestrian.


The dynamic change data of the vehicle-end information is data that changes in real time when the vehicle is in operation, such as temperatures in different areas of the vehicle, a running speed of the vehicle, and distances between the vehicle and respective objects.


Step 105 includes presenting traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data and the traffic control information.


In the present embodiment, the presenting the traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data and the traffic control information includes: dynamically displaying the dynamic change data and the traffic control information in the visualized scenario in real time. The dynamic change data and the traffic control information are displayed in the visualized scenario in real time, thereby providing effective traffic instructions for passengers in the to-be-tested vehicle.


Optionally, the presenting the traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data and the traffic control information includes:


determining an accident road segment with a traffic accident on the route corresponding to the route information based on the traffic control information; determining an accident image of the accident road segment based on the dynamic change data of the road-end sensing information; presenting the accident image in the visualized scenario; calculating a distance between the to-be-tested vehicle and the accident road segment based on a vehicle speed in the dynamic change data of the vehicle-end information, determining text prompt information based on the distance and an accident road segment position in the dynamic change data of road-end sensing information, and displaying the text prompt information in the visualized scenario.


As shown in FIG. 2, the traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario includes: text prompt information “accident ahead; 200 m ahead; second left lane” and the accident image. The traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario may provide passengers with effective travel guide.


In the method for processing vehicle-road collaboration information provided in embodiments of the present disclosure, firstly road-end sensing information of a to-be-tested vehicle and route information of the to-be-tested vehicle are received; then preset map data is fused based on the road-end sensing information and the route information, to generate a visualized scenario of the to-be-tested vehicle; then vehicle-end information and traffic control information when the to-be-tested vehicle is travelling on a route corresponding to the route information is received; then dynamic change data in the road-end sensing information and in the vehicle-end information is extracted; and finally traffic prompt information is presented in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data and the traffic control information. Therefore, the visualized scenario is generated based on the road-end sensing information of the to-be-tested vehicle, thereby displaying a surrounding scenario of the to-be-tested vehicle in real time, enriching sensing data of the to-be-tested vehicle, and bringing intuitive feelings to traffic participants. Further, during the to-be-tested vehicle travels on the route, the traffic prompt information is presented in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data of the road-end sensing information as well as the vehicle-end information and the traffic control information, thereby prompting the traffic participants in real time, improving the perception of the traffic participants for the vehicle, and improving safety of the traffic participants when participating in traffic.


In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the fusing the preset map data based on the road-end sensing information and the route information, to generate the visualized scenario of the to-be-tested vehicle includes: generating a three-dimensional geographic model of a location in which the to-be-tested vehicle is located based on the preset map data and the route information; determining a surrounding environment state and a weather state of the location in which the to-be-tested vehicle is located based on the road-end sensing information; and adding a three-dimensional scenario corresponding to the surrounding environment state and the weather state to the three-dimensional geographic model to generate a three-dimensional visualized scenario.


In the present optional implementation, the executing body on which the method for processing vehicle-road collaboration information runs extracts the surrounding environment state and the weather state of the to-be-tested vehicle in the road-end sensing information, and presents the surrounding environment state and the weather state in the visualized scenario, thus providing a reliable basis for fully displaying the surrounding state of the to-be-tested vehicle.


As shown in FIG. 2, in the three-dimensional geographic model of the to-be-tested vehicle, the surrounding environment where the to-be-tested vehicle is located is determined as an accident environment based on the road-end sensing information, an accident scenario is presented by extracting the accident image of the road-end sensing information, and the weather state of the three-dimensional geographic model is sunny (not shown in FIG. 2).


In the present optional implementation, first, the three-dimensional geographic model is generated based on the preset map data and the route information, to display a road state of a road where the to-be-tested vehicle is located from a perspective of the route; the surrounding environment state and the weather state are added to the three-dimensional geographic model based on the road-end sensing information, current environment and weather state of the to-be-tested vehicle are displayed at a specific station, and the vehicle-road collaboration information is specifically displayed in a visualized environment, thereby improving the diversity of the display of the vehicle-road collaboration information.


In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the method further includes: determining stations of the to-be-tested vehicle based on the route information; searching for weather forecast information related to each of the stations; and predicting a weather state of each station when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives based on the weather forecast information and the vehicle-end information, and adding weather prompt information of each station to the visualized scenario.


In the present optional implementation, the weather prompt information is obtained from the predicted weather state, and the weather prompt information may be a weather state image or a weather state text. As shown in FIG. 3, the weather prompt information of station A is an image of a sunny day.


In the present embodiment, the weather forecast information may be information forecast by the Meteorological Administration in the Internet of vehicles system, and may include weather states in different places and in different time periods. The executing body on which the method for processing vehicle-road collaboration information of the present disclosure runs may determine a current weather state of each station (a weather state of each station at a current moment) based on the weather forecast information. The vehicle-end information includes: a vehicle speed, mileage, fuel consumption, and the like. A time when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at each station may be estimated based on the vehicle-end information and the route information. The weather state of each station when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives may be predicted based on the time and the weather forecast information of each station.


Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the stations of the to-be-tested vehicle include station A, station B, station C, and station D. The station A and the station B are stations which the to-be-tested vehicle has passed by, and current weather states of the two stations are sunny and cloudy, respectively. Both the station C and the station D are stations which the to-be-tested vehicle has not passed by. The station C has two weather states, one is cloudy and the other is rainy, where a current weather state of the station C is cloudy, and a weather state of the station C is rainy when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at the station C. The station D has two weather states, one is cloudy and the other is rainy, where a current weather state of the station D is cloudy, and a weather state of the station D is rainy when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at the station D.


In the present optional implementation, the weather state of each site when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives is predicted based on the weather forecast information and the vehicle-end information, thereby achieving an effective estimate of the weather state in combination with the third-party information and the information of the vehicle, and improving a comfort degree of the driver and passengers.


In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the dynamic change data in the vehicle-end information includes: a vehicle speed of the to-be-tested vehicle, and the dynamic change data in the road-end sensing information includes: distance data between the to-be-tested vehicle and a target object, and the presenting the traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data and the traffic control information includes: presenting a first prompt information corresponding to the vehicle speed in the visualized scenario in real time; presenting a second prompt information corresponding to the distance data in the visualized scenario; determining countdown data in a current indication state of a traffic light closest to the to-be-tested vehicle and a duration of each indication state of the traffic light based on the traffic control information; calculating a time when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at the traffic light and an indication state of the traffic light based on the countdown data, the duration of each indication state, and the vehicle speed; and presenting a third prompt information including the countdown data corresponding to the current indication state of the traffic light, a time of arriving at the traffic light, and the indication state of the traffic light to the target object at a first preset position in the visualized scenario.


In the present optional implementation, the first prompt information, the second prompt information, and the third prompt information all belong to the traffic prompt information, and each of the first prompt information, the second prompt information, and the third prompt information may be text information, or may be image information, or may be a combination of text information and image information.


In the present optional implementation, if the duration of each indication state of the traffic light (such as a red light indication state or a green light indication state) is 100 s, the current indication state of the traffic light closest to the to-be-tested vehicle is a red light indication state, countdown data of the red light is 0 s, i.e., countdown of the green light starts, and the to-be-tested vehicle may arrive at the traffic light within 50 s from the green light starting the countdown, as calculated based on the vehicle speed of the to-be-tested vehicle. Therefore, a time corresponding to the traffic light is 50 s, and the indication state of the traffic light is green light.


In the present optional implementation, the first prompt information, the second prompt information, and the third prompt information are presented in the visualized scenario, thereby guaranteeing that vehicles around or behind the to-be-tested vehicle can obtain the vehicle speed of the to-be-tested vehicle, distances between themselves and the to-be-tested vehicle, a state of a traffic light in front of the to-be-tested vehicle, a time when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at the traffic light, and an indication state of the traffic light in real time, effectively transmitting the traffic light information to the surrounding vehicles, and improving the traffic safety. Further, the time when the to-be-tested vehicle arrives at the traffic light and the indication state of the traffic light are estimated based on the duration of each indication state of the traffic light and the vehicle speed of the to-be-tested vehicle, such that traffic participants around the to-be-tested vehicle can obtain information invisible to naked eyes, such as countdown of the traffic light, and understand driving behaviors of intelligent bus based on the global environmental conditions, thereby providing an effective response time for the surrounding vehicles to go through based on traffic signals, and guaranteeing effective start and stop of the vehicles.


In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the dynamic change data in the road-end sensing information includes: distance data between the to-be-tested vehicle and an over-the-horizon object, and the presenting the traffic prompt information in the visualized scenario based on the dynamic change data and the traffic control information includes: presenting, in response to the distance data between the to-be-tested vehicle and the over-the-horizon object being less than a preset distance threshold, dynamic prompt information corresponding to the distance data to the over-the-horizon object at a second preset position in the visualized scenario.


In the present optional implementation, the road-end sensing information includes the distance data related to the over-the-horizon object, where the distance data may be a distance value between the to-be-tested vehicle and the over-the-horizon object collected by an over-the-horizon radar. The distance threshold is a value limiting the distance data, and the distance threshold may be determined based on a range of the over-the-horizon radar and running condition of the to-be-tested vehicle. For example, when the to-be-tested vehicle runs at a high speed, the distance threshold may be determined to be 10 km based on the range (from 900 to 3,300 kg) of the over-the-horizon radar. The dynamic prompt information belongs to the traffic prompt information, and the dynamic prompt information corresponding to the distance data may change with the change of the distance data. For example, if the distance value in the distance data changes from 1 m to 10 m, then the dynamic prompt information may change from “distance 1 m” to “distance 10 m.”


In the present optional implementation, the distance data related to the over-the-horizon object is collected in real time. When the distance data is less than the preset distance threshold, the distance data may be prompted by dynamic prompt information in the visualized scenario, to fuse and display V2X data and autonomous driving data, and enable passengers to perceive a practical application effects brought by autonomous driving and vehicle-road collaboration. As such, subjective experience of the passengers will be more comfortable and safer, thereby greatly increasing the passengers' trust in autonomous driving. Further, the traffic participants outside the to-be-tested vehicle can obtain information invisible to naked eyes, such as over-the-horizon warning, and understand the driving behavior of intelligent bus based on the global environmental conditions.
