Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, computer device and storage medium for communicating with a rear vehicle, wherein the method comprises: a present vehicle determining that it is currently in a congestion scenario and obtaining congestion condition information; the present vehicle generating congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the congestion condition information; the present vehicle displaying the congestion prompt information on a screen at a tail of the present vehicle. The solution of the present disclosure can be applied to improve the safety of the travel of the vehicle.

Claims (30)

1. A method for communicating with a rear vehicle, wherein the method comprises:

a present vehicle determining that it is currently in a congestion scenario and obtaining congestion condition information;

the present vehicle generating congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the congestion condition information;

the present vehicle displaying the congestion prompt information on a screen at a tail of the present vehicle,

the present vehicle determining that a driver of a rear vehicle is in a road rage mood, at least by analyzing facial expressions and/or body behaviors of the driver of the rear vehicle obtained through a camera at the tail of the present vehicle; and

in response to determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, generating mood-soothing information and displaying the mood-soothing information on the screen,

wherein the congestion prompt information and the mood-soothing information are displayed on the screen alternatingly.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the present vehicle determining that it is currently m a congestion scenario comprises:

the present vehicle determining that the present vehicle is currently in the congestion scenario if the present vehicle determines that a duration of the following state exceeds a predetermined duration: the current traffic slowly advances at a speed below a predetermined threshold.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining the congestion condition information comprises:

the present vehicle obtaining the congestion condition information by interacting with an Internet-connected intelligent transportation system.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the congestion prompt information at least includes:

a cause of congestion;

the cause of congestion includes at least one of the following: an accident ahead, heavy traffic ahead, temporary road closures ahead, and congestion caused by weather.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

upon determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, the present vehicle turning on a streamline type lamp strip on the roof of the present vehicle and/or an annular lamp strip at the tail of the present vehicle to sooth the mood of the driver of the rear vehicle in a flowing pattern of atmosphere lamps.

6. A computer device, comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program which is stored on the memory and runs on the processor, wherein the processor, upon executing the program, implements a method for communicating with a rear vehicle, wherein the method comprises:

a present vehicle determining that it is currently in a congestion scenario and obtaining congestion condition information;

the present vehicle generating congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the congestion condition information;

the present vehicle displaying the congestion prompt information on a screen at a tail of the present vehicle,

the present vehicle determining that a driver of a rear vehicle is in a road rage mood, at least by analyzing facial expressions and/or body behaviors of the driver of the rear vehicle obtained through a camera at the tail of the present vehicle; and

in response to determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, generating mood-soothing information and displaying the mood-soothing information on the screen,

wherein the congestion prompt information and the mood-soothing information are displayed on the screen alternatingly.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements a method for communicating with a rear vehicle, wherein the method comprises:

a present vehicle determining that it is currently in a congestion scenario and obtaining congestion condition information;

the present vehicle generating congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the congestion condition information;

the present vehicle displaying the congestion prompt information on a screen at a tail of the present vehicle,

the present vehicle determining that a driver of a rear vehicle is in a road rage mood, at least by analyzing facial expressions and/or body behaviors of the driver of the rear vehicle obtained through a camera at the tail of the present vehicle; and

in response to determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, generating mood-soothing information and displaying the mood-soothing information on the screen,

wherein the congestion prompt information and the mood-soothing information are displayed on the screen alternatingly.
