According to the method, device, and navigator for rescuing vehicles, it is possible to enable the nearby vehicles to provide rescuing in time, improve the efficiency of rescuing and the vehicles to be rescued may acknowledge the positions of the rescuing vehicles by acquiring the rescuing information input by a user on the interface displaying a map, and then generating a rescuing request carrying the rescuing information and further broadcasting the rescuing request via V2X communication and displaying the position of the rescuing vehicle in the map when the rescuing response is received.
Detailed description is given below for the method, device, and navigator for rescuing vehicles provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure in connection with the drawings.
Step 101: acquiring rescuing information for requesting a rescuing for a first vehicle input on an interface displaying a map by a user. In the map, icons of respective vehicles are displayed according to the positions of respective vehicles.
More particularly, a driver, as a user, may visibly acknowledge the positions of nearby vehicles by receiving positions of respective vehicles broadcast by each vehicle via V2X communication and displaying icons of respective vehicles at the positions of respective vehicles in the map. This is because the V2X communication is a kind of short-range communication, and thus based on the positions of vehicles, particularly the positions of nearby vehicles, received via V2X communication, and icons of vehicles displayed in the map, the driver may acknowledge positions of nearby vehicles even in a region with a narrow visual field, and the safety in driving may be improved. Meanwhile, a rescuing button may be provided on the interface displaying the map, and when the rescuing button is pressed by the user, rescuing information may be input on the interface. The rescuing information may include one or more of model of vehicle, plate number, name of owner of the vehicle, description on fault, reward, and emergency level of rescuing action, and combinations thereof. For example, the rescuing information may include the number of people to be rescued, fault of vehicle to be rescued, health conditions of people to be rescued, supplies demands, personnel demands, technique demands, service demands, rescuing level, notes, and the like. More particularly, the more emergent the rescuing situation is, the higher the rescuing level is.
Step 102: generating a rescuing request carrying the rescuing information. More particularly, the on-vehicle device may generate the rescuing request according to the position where the first vehicle with the on-vehicle device thereon is located and the input rescuing information. That is to say, the rescuing request may include a position of the first vehicle and the rescuing information.
Step 103: broadcasting the rescuing request via V2X (Vehicle to X) communication. More particularly, the on-vehicle device may continuously broadcasting the rescuing request based on V2X communication, until a rescuing response transmitted by a second vehicle is received. As a possible implementation, frequency for the on-vehicle device to broadcast the rescuing request may change according to the rescuing level in the rescuing information. That is to say, the higher the rescuing level is, the frequency for broadcasting the rescuing request is higher. The frequency for broadcasting the rescuing request may be in a range of 0.1 Hz to 1 Hz.
Step 104: erasing the icons of respective vehicles displayed in the map and displaying the icons of the first vehicle according to the position of the first vehicle in the map, and displaying the icons of the second vehicle according to the position of a second vehicle in the map, if a rescuing response transmitted by the second vehicle is received. More particularly, when the rescuing response is received, the on-vehicle device may not display the icons of respective vehicles in the map any longer, but only display the icons of the first vehicle and the icons of the second vehicle.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to enable the nearby vehicles to provide rescuing in time, improve the efficiency of rescuing and the vehicles to be rescued may acknowledge the positions of the rescuing vehicles by acquiring the rescuing information input by a user on the interface displaying a map, and then generating a rescuing request carrying the rescuing information and further broadcasting the rescuing request via V2X communication and displaying the position of the rescuing vehicle in the map when the rescuing response is received.
Step 201: displaying icons of respective vehicles in the map according to positions of respective vehicles. More particularly, the on-vehicle device may receive positions of respective vehicles broadcast by each vehicle via V2X communication, and display icons of respective vehicles at positions of respective vehicles in the map.
Step 202: changing colors of the icons of the first vehicle corresponding to the first vehicle in the map when a rescuing request transmitted by the first vehicle is received. More particularly, the on-vehicle device may determine the changed color of the icons of the first vehicle according to the emergency level of rescuing action in the rescuing information carried by the rescuing request. Furthermore, the on-vehicle device may further display the rescuing information carried by the rescuing request. It is possible to enhance the significance in the map by displaying the icons of the first vehicle according to the emergency level of rescuing action. For example, the brighter the color is, the higher the emergency level of rescuing action is, and thus, the more easily the user may notice the icon, and the higher the probability for obtaining a quick rescue.
Furthermore, after the step 202, a rescuing response may be transmitted to the first vehicle, if the rescuing response input by the user on the interface displaying the map is acquired. Furthermore, it may be possible to perform navigation with respect to the rescuing route and display the rescuing route in the map. More particularly, the starting point of the rescuing route may be the position where the second vehicle with the on-vehicle device thereon is located, and the ending point of the rescuing route is where the first vehicle is located.
More particularly, it is possible to improve the rescuing efficiency by automatically performing the navigating of the rescuing route when the on-vehicle device makes the response to the rescuing request.
