Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of driving assistance with a virtual target for regulating ACC. It finds an advantageous application in the form of a method of assisting the driving of an ego vehicle in a motor vehicle equipped with such a driving assistance system.
- Automated speed management systems are commonly installed on current vehicles, generally operating on the basis of distance regulation between the equipped vehicle, also called ego vehicle, and the one in front of it in its lane. circulation, referred to as the target vehicle or more simply target.
- Such an adaptive cruise control system comprises means for detecting the environment of the vehicle such as a radar and can therefore detect other vehicles or objects on the roadway, in particular it can detect a vehicle which precedes it on the roadway.
- These systems are for example designed to control the vehicle so that its speed is equal to a setpoint given by the driver, except in the presence of an event on the road requiring a slowing down of the vehicle (following a vehicle which has a speed different from the instruction given by the driver, traffic jam, traffic light, etc.), in which case the speed of the vehicle is controlled accordingly.
- the speed of the vehicle equipped with such an adaptive cruise control system can be adjusted to maintain a substantially constant safety distance with the vehicle in front of it.
- a system interacts with an engine control system and / or with a braking system in order to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle.
- Late speed corrections can cause acceleration or sudden decelerations generating discomfort and an absence of a feeling of security. In particular such situations can arise when the target vehicle changes lane or when a vehicle enters the lane of the vehicle ego.
- the motor vehicle 10 is a motor vehicle of any type, in particular a passenger vehicle or a utility vehicle.
- the vehicle comprising the means for implementing the invention is referred to as the “ego” vehicle. This designation only makes it possible to distinguish it from other surrounding vehicles and does not in itself confer any technical limitation on the motor vehicle 10.
- the motor vehicle 10 or ego vehicle 10 comprises a conventional device for adaptive speed regulation DISP implementing a conventional adaptive speed regulation method, in particular in the form of a controller.
- the conventional DISP device for adaptive cruise control of a motor vehicle can be part of a more comprehensive driving assistance system.
- target vehicle denotes a vehicle located in the surrounding traffic of the ego vehicle 10, whose kinematic attributes, including position, speed and acceleration, are taken into account in the calculation of the longitudinal setpoint speed of the ego vehicle.
- a target vehicle can be a motor vehicle of any type, in particular a passenger vehicle or a utility vehicle or even a motorcycle.
- the device DISP for adaptive speed regulation of a motor vehicle requires perceiving the vehicles located in the surrounding traffic, in particular by means of sensors C such as perception and location sensors. Indeed, the determination of the kinematic attributes Att Target, which are the presence in the lane, the position, the speed, and G relative acceleration in dynamics of the surrounding vehicles by the sensors C is therefore required in order to be able to locate them correctly.
- the data from the perception sensors are processed in particular by fusion in order to identify and characterize the surrounding objects with their kinematic attributes.
- These perception sensors can be of various technologies, for example ultrasound, radar, lidar, camera, and the location sensors are in particular inertial or odometric measurement units or even GPS satellite geo-positioning systems.
- the characterization of objects makes it possible in particular to know the environment around the ego vehicle and to classify the objects by type such as: vehicles (motorbike, car, truck, bicycle, etc.), pedestrians, infrastructures, signage, which makes it possible not to take into account here that vehicles as target.
- vehicles motorbike, car, truck, bicycle, etc.
- pedestrians pedestrians
- infrastructures signage
- the data from these sensors in particular associated with maps, also make it possible to identify the geometry of the road (slopes, curvatures, etc.) and, in addition, navigation information can provide information on the contextual situation.
- zone type Urban, peri- urban, rural
- type of road expressway, city, motorway, etc.
- regulatory speed which can be merged with the recognition of signs, road traffic information, geometric information (slope, curvature, number of lanes ,. ..).
- the kinematic attributes Att Target of the identified target are then transmitted to the distance control CD block which also consumes DC driver data as input, namely the cruising speed selected by the driver and the predetermined tracking time, by default of 2 second, chosen by the driver, which is also translated in terms of the predetermined tracking distance chosen by the driver as a function of the speed of the vehicle eg by means of a table for example.
- the distance control unit CD On the basis of this information, the distance control unit CD generates at output a longitudinal speed setpoint Vc making it possible to automatically comply with the predetermined tracking setpoint distance with the preceding vehicle on the same traffic lane, the vehicle automatically modulating its speed to keep this distance.
- the actuators A motor, brakes, etc.
- this device considers only one target at a time, that which is present in front of the ego in its path, which makes it very sensitive, in particular to the vehicle insertions between the ego and the vehicle which precedes it as well as '' when the target vehicle changes lane, altering the fluidity of piloting with sudden irregularities in the instructions.
- Document FR2912981 is also known relating to a method of automatic piloting of a motor vehicle comprising an ACC system which aims to improve the fluidity of the behavior of the vehicle to increase the comfort of the user, however this process becomes very consuming in case of multiple targets because it requires many calculations to determine the dynamic components to be followed by the ACC.
- One of the aims of the invention is to remedy at least part of the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a method of assisting the driving of an ego vehicle moving on a traffic lane, comprising:
- a second step of determining a virtual barycentric target with calculation a position of the virtual barycentric target, a speed of the virtual barycentric target, and an acceleration of the virtual barycentric target;
- the invention it is possible to anticipate the trajectory of vehicles located in the surrounding traffic without modifying the regulation loop of the ACC as such but only its inputs, and to take multiple targets into account. , including in the absence of a target in the path of the ego vehicle while improving the fluidity of the ACC regulation loop.
- the surrounding traffic comprises at least two target vehicles preceding the ego vehicle traveling on its traffic lane or on the adjacent parallel lane in the same direction of travel, which not only makes it possible to take into account counts the side vehicles but also a vehicle which would slow down in front of the vehicle preceding the ego.
- the first identification step comprises a sub-step of detecting each of the at least two target vehicles with, for each target vehicle, determining at the output of a position of the target vehicle relative to the ego vehicle , a speed of the target vehicle, an acceleration of the target vehicle, and in particular determination of a trajectory of the target vehicle, which makes it possible, whether the position is relative or absolute, to anticipate the safety distances by taking into account counts the predicted trajectories.
- the second step of determining the virtual barycentric target consumes as inputs a preselected regulation speed, a predetermined tracking setpoint distance, and a result of the identification step, which allows to construct the virtual barycentric target on the basis of readily available information, and by taking into account the regulation speed and tracking setpoint distance that can be personalized by the driver.
- the second step of determining the virtual barycentric target comprises a filtering step so as to select only certain targets as a function of their speed or of their spacing in terms of time.
- At least one of the target vehicles is located in the traffic lane of the ego vehicle, makes it possible to take into account the phenomena of slowing down by the preceding vehicles, but also of lane departure by one of these vehicles preceding the ego.
- the advantage linked to the characteristic according to which at least one of the target vehicles is located in an adjacent lane and seeks to fit into the traffic lane of the ego vehicle, is to allow the integration phenomena to be taken into account. early.
- the second step of determining the target Virtual barycentric uses a target change prediction coefficient determined for each target, which allows the barycenter to be dynamically weighted and thus to gain fluidity in ACC regulation.
- the target change coefficient is a function of a relative lateral distance between a trajectory of the vehicle ego and at least one target vehicle, or a function of a relative lateral distance between a center of the lane on which the ego vehicle and at least one target vehicle is traveling, which makes it possible to overcome the curvature of the road.
- the target change coefficient is a function of an estimated time of intersection of an estimated trajectory of the target vehicle with an estimated trajectory of the vehicle ego, which makes it possible to weight using a other information given by the module for identifying the surrounding traffic.
- the target change coefficient is a function of the tracking time of a precise vehicle, which makes it possible to fluidly take into account a vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle preceding the ego which would slow down.
- the target change coefficient is a function of a stiffness coefficient, thus guaranteeing ease of focusing because this stiffness coefficient is in particular unique for all the targets in insertion.
- the invention also relates to a computer program product comprising program code instructions recorded on a computer readable medium, comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by the computer, conduct this itself. ci to implement the method of the invention, which has advantages similar to those of the method, this program product being easily hosted in a motor vehicle computer.
- the invention also relates to a system of an ego motor vehicle moving on a traffic lane, comprising:
- - a module for determining a virtual barycentric target, with calculation of a position of the virtual barycentric target, a speed of the virtual barycentric target, and an acceleration of the virtual barycentric target;
- the invention also relates to an ego motor vehicle comprising a drive train, acceleration and braking means and comprising a system for assisting with the movement. driving according to the invention, which allows a simple adaptation on vehicles equipped with ACC devices whether or not they are autonomous.
- Figure 2 shows schematically a driving assistance system according to the invention.
- Figure 3 illustrates the application of the method according to the invention.
- Figure 4 shows an illustration of the relative lateral distance in a curve in a case of use of the invention.
- FIG. 5 represents an illustration of trajectory prediction in a use case according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 There is schematically shown in Figure 2 an embodiment of an adaptive cruise control system 1 of an EGO motor vehicle forming part of a more general system of driving assistance according to one aspect of the 'invention.
- the elements of the system 1 identical to the elements constituting the device DISP of FIG. 1 bear the same references.
- the C sensors such as perception sensors for measuring the dynamics of the ego but also to perceive the environment
- these C sensors here allow not only to provide ego velocity and acceleration information, as well as the position, velocity and acceleration of objects in the environment, but also provide trajectory prediction of these objects.
- the determination of the environmental information Env which includes the kinematic attributes such as the presence in the lane, the position, the speed, and the dynamic acceleration of the surrounding vehicles by the sensors C are required to be able to correctly predict their trajectories.
- This environmental information is for example given in a reference frame of the ego, positioned at the level of G rear axle of the ego vehicle, but any other positioning of the reference frame is possible.
- the CBV module also consumes the DC conductor data as input, which is the regulation speed selected by the driver and the predetermined tracking time chosen by the driver, which is also translated in terms of the predetermined tracking setpoint distance chosen by the driver. Based on these inputs, the CBV module determines a virtual barycentric target in the path of the ego vehicle, of which it calculates the position, speed, and acceleration. This CBV module makes it possible to take into consideration the information from the various objects, to select as target the objects located in particular upstream of the ego vehicle whether in its lane or laterally, to deduce therefrom target vehicles for which the predicted trajectories have been predetermined to be able to anticipate the movements of the target vehicles and thus react as a human driver would.
- a filter can be added in the CBV module so as to take into consideration only the targets for which the relative lateral speed with respect to the ego exceeds a threshold.
- This CBV module is placed upstream of the regulation loops of the actuator sub-systems A (motor, brakes, etc.) and thus provides regulation instructions like a conventional ACC target without having to modify the ACC logic, its integration is therefore facilitated.
- these kinematic attributes Att CB V of the virtual barycentric target which are the presence in the channel, the position, the speed, and G relative acceleration in dynamics of the virtual barycentric target, generated at the output of the CBV module for determining a virtual barycentric target are sent to the input of the BCD loop for calculating dynamic signals which include the longitudinal speed setpoint Vc of the vehicle ego and the acceleration setpoint Ac, said longitudinal speed setpoint being a function of the position of the target virtual target, the speed of the virtual target, and the acceleration of the virtual barycentric target.
- the dynamic setpoint calculation BCD loop includes: The distance control CD block which consumes as input the kinematic attributes Att CBV of the virtual barycentric target as well as the conductor data DC which are the regulation speed selected by the driver and the predeter mined tracking time chosen by the driver, which is also translated in terms of the predetermined tracking setpoint distance chosen by the driver, and which generates the longitudinal speed setpoint Vc as output, which corresponds to the desired speed regulation quantity making it possible to meet the driver's expectations in terms of safety distance in all fluidity,
- the speed control CV block which consumes the speed setpoint Vc as previously as input, as well as the vehicle speed ego Vm and which generates the acceleration setpoint Ac at output
- the torque control unit CC which, as previously, consumes the consolidated acceleration command at the input of the loopback output, and which generates the torque con sign Ce controlling the actuators A, this torque setpoint Ce allowing the wheels to be controlled so as to follow the speed reference Vc.
- the CBV module for determining the unique virtual barycentric target makes it possible to take into account the surrounding side vehicles which could in the near future be inserted and become the target to be followed by the ACC, but this CBV module aims also to ensure the normal control operation of the ACC when no vehicle is detected either in front or sideways or when a single target vehicle is detected in the vehicle lane.
- this method can also be applied to a vehicle V0 which leaves the lane of the ego vehicle to change lanes, a phenomenon known as cut-out in English.
- this vehicle Once this vehicle has been inserted into the side track of the ego vehicle, it would then become a Vx vehicle or would no longer be indexed if it leaves the approach field of the ego vehicle delimited by the sensing distances of the sensors and / or a predetermined distance compared to the ego vehicle, in particular as a function of the set-point tracking distance that can be personalized by the driver.
- the ego EGO vehicle perceives two target vehicles, as determined by the surrounding traffic identification module, a vehicle V0 in front of it in its lane and a vehicle VI slightly in front of him, located laterally on his left side, in the left lane, and whose right turn signals are on to indicate that he is going to move into the lane of the ego vehicle.
- the three lanes in the same direction of travel are shown separated by short broken lines and a solid line represents their separation from a potential lane in the opposite direction.
- the target vehicle VI is on the left of the ego EGO vehicle in the direction of travel, alternatively the target vehicle VI may be on the right side of the ego EGO vehicle and seek to fit into the forward direction.
- the virtual barycentric target G therefore corresponds here to the bary center G of a system (A, a) (B, b) with a + b 1 0, a and b being weighting coefficients, and for any point O taken as origin, we have: [Math. 1]
- the surrounding traffic identification module provides in the reference linked to the vehicle ego, here centered on its rear axle but for which another choice could be made, to the module CB V for determining the virtual barycentric target G the geometrical references corresponding to points A and B which are the positions of vehicles V0 and VI, and the CBV module performs a reference change so as to link the new reference of the ego vehicle to the front of the bumper of the ego vehicle :
- Xo which is the distance from the first target vehicle, in particular from its rear bumper, in the direct approach field of the ego vehicle, in the relative frame linked to the ego vehicle.
- Xi is the distance from a second target vehicle, in particular from its front bumper, which risks inserting itself into the approach field of the ego vehicle, in the relative frame of reference linked to the ego vehicle.
- X 0 and X are the respective relative speeds of the first vehicle and of the second vehicle.
- X 0 and X ⁇ are the respective relative accelerations of the first vehicle and of the second vehicle.
- the aim of the virtual barycentric target approach is to anticipate the change of target by adding a dynamic offset o_d to the target distance d_s_c provided by the driver and applied to the target vehicle V0 in the lane.
- the o_d offset is obtained by making the projection on the ego trajectory of the virtual barycentric target G, the o_d offset will then be transmitted, with the position information of the virtual barycentric target G, with the other cinema attributes - Att CBV ticks to the CD module.
- the weighting coefficients a, b of the barycenter are chosen as corresponding to the target change prediction coefficients. These coefficients can be obtained in two distinct ways.
- the first way is based on the lateral position of the inserting vehicle VI.
- it is preferable to use the lateral distance Yl ’with respect to the trajectory and / or to the lane center of the vehicle ego EGO, which are merged here and shown in long dashed lines. This makes it possible to overcome the disturbances linked to the orientation of the ego EGO vehicle in its lane which is in the form of a tangent multiplied by the distance from the target (5 ° at 100 meters 8 meters of lateral error ).
- the method can consequently be functional in curve.
- FIG. 4 visually indicates the error made on a curve
- the values of Y1 and Y2 correspond to weighting to the ordinates of the ends, for example middle of the bumpers, rear of the lateral target vehicles VI and V2 in the relative frame of reference linked to the vehicle ego and the values UG and Y2 'corresponding to the lateral distances with respect to the lane center of the vehicle ego EGO of the lateral target vehicles VI and V2, where one notes concerning the lateral distances that UG> Y2 'while with the ordinates Y1 ⁇ Y2.
- the lateral distance values are in particular supplied by the module for identifying the surrounding traffic in the same way as the position of the targets. Weighting coefficients a and b are therefore obtained as a function of the lateral distance, and in particular a function of UG and b function of the inverse of Yl '.
- the second method illustrated in FIG. 5, consists in G using as a coefficient for predicting the change of target of the estimated time of intersection with the trajectory of the vehicle ego EGO, corresponding here to 3 seconds T + 3.
- the estimated time of intersection with the trajectory of the ego EGO is based on the trajectory prediction, both of which are provided by the surrounding traffic identification module along with the position of the targets.
- the stiffness coefficient k is thus placed at the level of the magnitude XI which is the magnitude representing the vehicle VI which is inserted. Behaviorally, this coefficient makes it possible to define the force for taking into account the target which is introduced into the calculation of the virtual target; the greater the k, the more the vehicle ego will anticipate. Since the problem is symmetrical along the x axis, the coefficient k for a target on the right and the coefficient k for a target on the left will be identical, which allows the process to be applied in driving countries as well. on the right than in left-hand drive countries, without specific modification.
- the weighting coefficients a, b depend on the lateral positioning of the lateral target V 1 or on the intersection time makes it possible to take into account the dynamics of the insertion.
- a single stiffness coefficient k is necessary for the three equations, which makes it possible to greatly simplify the tuning.
- This stiffness coefficient k can be adapted according to the speed of the vehicle ego to have a different behavior according to the situations (fluid motorways or congested urban peripherals), its value can in particular belong to the range] 0; 10] and is preferably 1.
- the method by creating a virtual barycentric target G with a distance, a speed, and an acceleration is not intrusive on the conventional control loops of the ACC. Consequently, the method of the invention does not in any way modify the regulation settings of the power train, whether thermal or electric, and also does not in any way modify the settings of the braking device.
- the method has a spatial representation which allows easy visualization during its development, as already illustrated in FIG. 3 which graphically shows the calculation carried out to carry out the barycenter G of the positions of the target vehicles V0, VI. Physically, the application of the process amounts to adding an offset o_d to the set-point tracking distance d_s_c.
- the vehicle V 1 Once the vehicle V 1 has entered the lane of the vehicle ego EGO between the vehicle ego EGO and the vehicle V0, it then becomes indexed as being the vehicle V0.
- the method can also take into account a target located on the right than on the left, and in particular makes it possible to take into consideration several targets, whether they are located to the right and / or to the left in front. of the ego EGO vehicle.
- the method thus applies to three, or more, targets, as illustrated in FIG. 6.
- the target G virtual barycentric then corresponds to the barycentric G of a system (A, a), (B, b), (C, c) with a + b + c 1 0, a, b and c being weighting coeffi cients, and for any point O taken as origin, we have:
- NbTm the number of missing lateral targets to be able to apply the method including in the case of missing targets while respecting a homogeneity of the dynamic behavior.
- default values should be set when one or more targets are missing.
- the problem with the ACC target is respecting the tracking time with respect to the target that precedes it, so it is also in the interest of the ego vehicle to keep an additional safety distance if the tracking time between two vehicles in front of it is dangerous.
- the method therefore makes it possible to monitor not only the insertions of lateral target vehicles but also the behavior of the vehicle preceding the vehicle that the ego vehicle follows. Indeed, the method not only allows an application for multiple targets V1, V2 which seek to insert themselves in front of the vehicle ego EGO but also makes it possible to take into account the vehicle VP preceding the vehicle V0 followed by the vehicle ego EGO.
- the weighting coefficients a, b are dependent on the tracking time of the target.
- VP physically representative of the intersection time of the trajectories in longitudinal coordinates.
- the two targets V0, VP are therefore taken into account at all times, so that the vehicle ego does not undergo variations on each change of speed of the precible VP, a filtering relative to a threshold speed is preferably carried out, so as not to take into account the precible VP only when its relative speed with respect to V0 is less than a threshold.
- the precible PV will only be taken into account if the difference in precarious speed minus ego speed is less than a predetermined threshold, this threshold being for example a few km / h, so as to filter out small oscillations and only take into account the precibles in reconciliation.
- This threshold which will be is a focusing parameter, and can possibly take into account the relative distance from the target to assimilate it to a threshold in tracking time, that is to say filtering by taking into account of the precible VP as a function of the speed of the precible as a function of the tracking time settings entered by the driver, so as to take into account the precible VP only if the time between VP and EGO is less than a predetermined threshold.
- XG is calculated and then derived to obtain the other velocity and acceleration quantities.
- XG is calculated and then derived to obtain the other velocity and acceleration quantities. More targets, especially lateral ones, could be taken into account if the perception sensors allow it.
- the ACC system will have a more comfortable behavior when changing targets, and thanks to the anticipation of the movements of the target vehicles by the process, safety is increased.
- the behavior of the ego EGO vehicle will thus be similar to the behavior of a human driver and will be fluid in traffic.
