Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method for monitoring driving behavior risk degree, including: acquiring first vehicle size information of a first vehicle, second vehicle size information of a second vehicle, vehicle driving information and vehicle driving environment information; determining the number of overlapping regions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the first vehicle size information, the second vehicle size information and the vehicle driving information; and determining risk degree information of driving behavior based on the number of overlapping regions, the vehicle driving information and the vehicle driving environment information. This method may be applied in multiple scenarios, and facilitates drivers or passengers in avoiding them from traffic collision incidents, so that the safeties of the drivers and the passengers is greatly improved.

determining a number of overlapping regions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the first vehicle size information, the second vehicle size information, and the vehicle driving information; and

determining risk degree information of driving behavior based on the number of overlapping regions, the vehicle driving information, and the vehicle driving environment information;

wherein when the number of overlapping regions is 1, the step of determining the risk degree information of driving behavior comprises steps of:

determining a remaining collision time duration, a stopping time duration and an escape time duration based on the vehicle driving information and the vehicle driving environment information, wherein the escape time duration is a time duration lasting from the current time moment to a target moment, and the target moment is a moment when the overlapping regions between the first vehicle and the second vehicle disappears;

determining the risk level based on the remaining collision time duration, the stopping time duration and the escape time duration, or based on the preset risk level probability model;

determining the target risk degree monitoring strategy based on the risk level, the remaining collision time duration, the stopping time duration and the escape time duration; and

determining the risk degree information of driving behavior based on the target risk degree monitoring strategy;

wherein the risk level comprises a dangerous state, an attention reminding state and a safe state, the step of determining the risk level based on the remaining collision time duration, the stopping time duration, the escape time duration, or based on the preset risk level probability model comprises steps of:

determining the risk level as the safe state, when the escape time duration is greater than or equal to the remaining collision time duration; or

determining the risk level based on the preset risk level probability model when the escape time duration is less than the remaining collision time duration;

wherein the remaining collision time duration is a remaining time duration lasting from the current moment to a time point when the first vehicle collides with the second vehicle, the remaining collision time duration is calculated according to a formula listed below:
