Detailed Description
The following describes the embodiments of the present invention further with reference to the drawings. The description of these embodiments is provided to assist understanding of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the present invention.
Fig. 1 shows a method of preventing rear-end collision of a vehicle according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method for preventing rear-end collision of a vehicle comprises the following steps:
And step S10, when the vehicle brakes, acquiring braking deceleration and a brake pedal stroke of the vehicle in real time, and acquiring vehicle type information of the rear vehicle, running speed of the vehicle and distance of the vehicle.
When the vehicle starts braking, the vehicle starts to acquire in real time, namely continuously acquires braking deceleration information and brake pedal travel information, acquires vehicle type information of the rear vehicle, running speed of the vehicle and distance of the vehicle, continuously stops braking until the vehicle stops braking, judges whether rear-end collision risk is faced according to corresponding data of each acquisition moment, and carries out dynamic and efficient warning. The period interval of the real-time acquisition may be 1-3s.
The braking deceleration of the host vehicle is a composite braking factor including road friction, windage, and the like. The vehicle braking performance of the same vehicle is different in sunny days and rainy and snowy days, and the same vehicle braking performance is also different in the same weather environment and on different roads due to different adhesion force of the roads. Therefore, the actual deceleration value of the host vehicle has a reference meaning for calculating the actual deceleration value of the following vehicle with respect to the host vehicle and the following vehicle under the same weather and road environment.
And step S20, ending the method if the running speed of the rear vehicle relative to the vehicle is smaller than zero, otherwise, acquiring the limit braking deceleration of the rear vehicle according to the vehicle type information of the vehicle, the real-time braking deceleration and the braking pedal stroke and the vehicle type information of the rear vehicle.
When the real-time speed of the rear vehicle is equal to that of the front vehicle, although the rear vehicle does not face the risk of rear collision if the two vehicles keep the current running speed, the present moment also has a certain risk because the present moment is in a braking state, and the present moment also has a certain risk, the present moment is the same as the real-time speed of the rear vehicle is larger than that of the front vehicle, and the subsequent judgment is continued.
Optionally, the method for acquiring the limit braking deceleration of the rear vehicle comprises the following steps:
And a1, acquiring model coefficients according to the model information of the vehicle and the model information of the rear vehicle. The specific method comprises the steps of consulting a data set according to the model information of the vehicle and the model information of the rear vehicle to obtain model coefficients, wherein model coefficient information corresponding to all the vehicles one by one is stored in the data set. The model coefficients are related to the models of the front vehicle and the rear vehicle, and after the model recognition of the rear vehicle is completed, the corresponding model coefficients can be extracted from the preset and stored model coefficient data set.
Optionally, the model coefficient can be obtained according to calibration, various models are calibrated under the same road and weather environment conditions, the relation between the actual braking deceleration of the model coefficient and the actual braking deceleration of the model coefficient is obtained, and the relation is stored in the vehicle for later use.
The vehicle type is the type of the vehicle, and the method is more complicated in test and is more time-consuming and labor-consuming because of more types of vehicles in the market. Because the vehicles need to meet national automobile braking distance standards when being on the road, the design braking deceleration of the vehicles of various vehicle types can be considered to be not smaller than a set value, namely the minimum design braking deceleration. However, due to the restrictions of cost, vehicle own structure and other factors, each vehicle manufacturer will not deviate the design of the designed braking deceleration from the set value too much, so that the vehicle type can be divided according to the vehicle braking distance specified by the national standard.
The specified automobile braking distance standard of the national standard GB12676 and GB/T13594 is (1) not more than nine passenger automobiles, and not more than 19m when the initial speed is 50 Km/h;
(2) Other automobiles with total mass not exceeding 4.5t have initial speed not exceeding 21m at 50 Km/h;
(3) Other automobiles have an initial speed of 30Km/h of not more than 9m.
All vehicle types are correspondingly divided into three types according to three regulations in national vehicle braking distance standards, namely a first type vehicle, a second type vehicle and a third type vehicle, and the corresponding relations are as follows:
The first class of vehicles is passenger vehicles with no more than nine seats, and the braking distance is no more than 19m when the initial speed is 50 Km/h;
The second class of vehicles is vehicles with total mass not exceeding 4.5t except the first class of vehicles, and the braking distance is not exceeding 21m when the initial speed is 50 Km/h;
and the third class of vehicles is vehicles except the first class of vehicles and the second class of vehicles, and the braking distance is not more than 9m when the initial speed is 30 Km/h.
The braking distance is one of the key parameters for measuring the braking performance of a vehicle, and means that a person can travel from the time of starting braking to the time of completely stopping the vehicle under the condition that the vehicle is at a certain speed.
According to the above-mentioned first class vehicle, second class vehicle and third class vehicle, then make simulation to obtain correspondent vehicle model coefficient, and give recommended value of vehicle model coefficient in table 1, when in actual use, can self-set specific value.

The quotient of the maximum braking deceleration value divided by the real-time theoretical braking deceleration value may be used as the real-time deceleration coefficient.

And S40, judging whether the rear-end collision risk is faced or not according to the limit safety distance and the distance between the rear vehicle and the vehicle, and if so, giving an alarm. The specific process can be as follows:
And b1, calculating the optimal safety distance according to the limit safety distance and the reaction distance. Alternatively, the optimal safety distance is set to be L, the reaction distance is set to be D, and the limit safety distance is set to be S, and then l=s+d. The reaction distance is the distance that the vehicle travels in the reaction time of the driver, and theoretically, the value of D is the product of the speed of the rear vehicle and the reaction time. The speed of the vehicle can be obtained according to the relative speed of the rear vehicle and the speed measurement calculation of the vehicle, and the reaction time range can be [0, n ], but the safety is ensured by taking the maximum value n. The setting mode of the reaction time n can be uniformly set to a fixed value, for example, 4s, the value of n is not easy to be too large, excessive early warning is easy to be caused by too large, the value of n is not easy to be too small, early warning lag is easy to be caused by too small, or the damage caused by rear-end collision accident can not be sufficiently reduced. The dynamic numerical value can be designed by combining the rear vehicle type, and when the rear vehicles are the first type of vehicles, the second type of vehicles and the third type of vehicles in sequence, the value of the reaction time is increased in sequence. For example, when the rear vehicle is of the first type, n=2s, and when the rear vehicle is of the third type, n=4s.
And b2, comparing the size relation between the optimal safety distance and the distance between the rear vehicle and the host vehicle.
And b3, if the optimal safety distance is not smaller than the distance between the rear vehicle and the host vehicle, judging that the rear-end collision risk exists, and sending out an alarm.
