Abstract

Provided are a method and device for monitoring an operating status of a vehicle. The method includes: acquiring a current position of the vehicle, operation behavior information of a user and operating status information of an in-vehicle component in a running process of the vehicle, determining a first running status of the vehicle according to the operation behavior information of the user and the operating status information of the in-vehicle component; acquiring, according to the current position of the vehicle, traffic information and environmental information corresponding to the current position of the vehicle at current time from a network side; determining a second running status of the vehicle according to the traffic information and the environmental information; and determining a current operating status of the vehicle according to a matching degree between the first running status and the second running status.

Claims (71)

1. A method for monitoring an operating status of an autonomous vehicle, comprising:

acquiring a current position of the autonomous vehicle, operation behavior information of a user and operating status information of an in-vehicle component in a running process of the autonomous vehicle;

determining a first running status of the autonomous vehicle according to the operation behavior information of the user and the operating status information of the in-vehicle component;

acquiring, according to the current position of the autonomous vehicle, traffic information and environmental information corresponding to the current position of the autonomous vehicle at current time from a network side;

determining a second running status of the autonomous vehicle according to the traffic information and the environmental information;

determining a current operating status of the autonomous vehicle according to a matching degree between the first running status and the second running status; and

sending the current operating status of the autonomous vehicle to a vehicle managing server, so that the vehicle managing server determines a dispatching mode for the autonomous vehicle according to the current operating status of the autonomous vehicle.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the first running status to a client of the user currently using the vehicle; and

updating the first running status according to responding information acquired from the client,

after determining the first running status of the vehicle.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

correcting the acquired traffic information and the environmental information according to data collected by an in-vehicle sensor,

after acquiring the traffic information and the environmental information corresponding to the current position of the vehicle at the current time from the network side.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the current operating status of the vehicle according to the matching degree between the first running status and the second running status comprises: determining the current operating status of the vehicle according to a matching degree between the updated first running status and the second running status.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: acquiring historical fault and maintenance information of the vehicle, before determining the first running status of the vehicle,

wherein determining the first running status of the vehicle comprises:

determining the first running status of the vehicle according to the operation behavior information of the user, the operating status information of the in-vehicle component, and the historical fault and maintenance information of the vehicle.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

correcting the acquired traffic information and the environmental information according to data collected by an in-vehicle sensor,

after acquiring the traffic information and the environmental information corresponding to the current position of the vehicle at the current time from the network side.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

correcting the acquired traffic information and the environmental information according to data collected by an in-vehicle sensor,

after acquiring the traffic information and the environmental information corresponding to the current position of the vehicle at the current time from the network side.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

correcting the acquired traffic information and the environmental information according to data collected by an in-vehicle sensor,

after acquiring the traffic information and the environmental information corresponding to the current position of the vehicle at the current time from the network side.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the current operating status of the vehicle according to the matching degree between the first running status and the second running status comprises:

comparing the matching degree with a preset threshold; and

determining that the current operating status of the vehicle is normal if the matching degree is greater than the preset threshold; or

determining that the current operating status of the vehicle is abnormal if the matching degree is equal to or less than the preset threshold.

10. A computer device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory; and

a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the processor,

wherein when the program is executed by the processor, a method for monitoring an operating status of an autonomous vehicle is implemented, wherein the method comprises:

acquiring a current position of the autonomous vehicle, operation behavior information of a user and operating status information of an in-vehicle component in a running process of the autonomous vehicle;

determining a first running status of the autonomous vehicle according to the operation behavior information of the user and the operating status information of the in-vehicle component;

acquiring, according to the current position of the autonomous vehicle, traffic information and environmental information corresponding to the current position of the autonomous vehicle at current time from a network side;

determining a second running status of the autonomous vehicle according to the traffic information and the environmental information;

determining a current operating status of the autonomous vehicle according to a matching degree between the first running status and the second running status; and

sending the current operating status of the autonomous vehicle to a vehicle managing server, so that the vehicle managing server determines a dispatching mode for the autonomous vehicle according to the current operating status of the autonomous vehicle.

11. The computer device according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting the first running status to a client of the user currently using the vehicle; and

updating the first running status according to responding information acquired from the client,

after determining the first running status of the vehicle.

12. The computer device according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:

acquiring historical fault and maintenance information of the vehicle, before determining the first running status of the vehicle,

wherein determining the first running status of the vehicle comprises:

determining the first running status of the vehicle according to the operation behavior information of the user, the operating status information of the in-vehicle component, and the historical fault and maintenance information of the vehicle.

13. The computer device according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:

correcting the acquired traffic information and the environmental information according to data collected by an in-vehicle sensor,

after acquiring the traffic information and the environmental information corresponding to the current position of the vehicle at the current time from the network side.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a computer program that, when executed by a processor, causes a method for monitoring an operating status of an autonomous vehicle to be implemented, wherein the method comprises:

acquiring a current position of the autonomous vehicle, operation behavior information of a user and operating status information of an in-vehicle component in a running process of the autonomous vehicle;

determining a first running status of the autonomous vehicle according to the operation behavior information of the user and the operating status information of the in-vehicle component;
