Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, a device and a readable storage medium for preventing a vehicle collision. The method includes determining a current conservative anti-collision region of a vehicle acquiring the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region in the current conservative anti-collision region; predicting a behavior of an obstacle according to the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region, and controlling the vehicle to conduct an anti-collision behavior according a prediction result, a reasonable prediction may be made to the behavior of the obstacle based on the conservative anti-collision region and the omnidirectional environmental information, thus controlling the vehicle to conduct an accurate anti-collision behavior, thereby preventing collisions effectively, and avoiding an occurrence of traffic accidents.

Claims (43)

1. A method for preventing a vehicle collision, comprising:

determining a current conservative anti-collision region of a vehicle;

acquiring omnidirectional environmental information in a current region in the current conservative anti-collision region;

predicting a behavior of an obstacle according to the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region, wherein the obstacle is located in the conservative anti-collision region; and

controlling the vehicle to conduct an anti-collision behavior according to a prediction result;

wherein after the acquiring omnidirectional environmental information in a current region in the current conservative anti-collision region, the method further comprises:

acquiring omnidirectional environmental information out of the current region of a preset region out of the current conservative anti-collision region; and

predicting, according to the omnidirectional environmental information out of the current region, a behavior of an obstacle entering the current conservative anti-collision region in a preset period.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a current conservative anti-collision region of a vehicle comprises:

determining the current conservative anti-collision region according to a position of a vehicle body and a current driving direction of the vehicle.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the determining the current conservative anti-collision region according to a position of a vehicle body and a current driving direction of the vehicle comprises:

determining a first current conservative anti-collision region around the vehicle according to the position of the vehicle body; and

determining a second current conservative anti-collision region in front of the vehicle along the current driving direction of the vehicle;

wherein the current conservative anti-collision region comprises the first current conservation anti-collision region and the second current conservative anti-collision region.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first current conservative anti-collision region is a rectangular region around the vehicle body with an area larger than an area occupied by the vehicle;

the second current conservative anti-collision region is a rectangular region or a trapezoidal region with a side length longer than a width of the vehicle body, wherein the second current conservative anti-collision region is along the current driving direction of the vehicle and in front of the vehicle.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring omnidirectional environmental information in a current region in the current conservative anti-collision region comprises:

collecting current omnidirectional environmental information through at least one of an omnidirectional milliwave radar or a laser radar; and

capturing the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region in the current conservative anti-collision region.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the predicting a behavior of an obstacle, further comprising:

performing a predictive compensation to the behavior of the obstacle entering the current conservative anti-collision region;

accordingly, after the controlling the vehicle to conduct an anti-collision behavior according to a prediction result, further comprising:

controlling the vehicle to conduct a compensation for the anti-collision behavior according to a result of the prediction compensation.

7. An apparatus for preventing a vehicle collision, comprising:

a memory, a processor and a computer program;

wherein the computer program is stored in the memory, and is configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to:

determine a current conservative anti-collision region of a vehicle;

acquire omnidirectional environmental information in a current region in the current conservative anti-collision region;

predict a behavior of an obstacle according to the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region, wherein the obstacle is located in the conservative anti-collision region; and

control the vehicle to conduct an anti-collision behavior according to a prediction result;

wherein the computer program further causes the processor to acquire omnidirectional environmental information out of the current region of a preset region out of the current conservative anti-collision region after acquiring the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region in the current conservative anti-collision region; and

predict, according to the omnidirectional environmental information out of the current region, a behavior of an obstacle entering the current conservative anti-collision region in a preset period.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the computer program further causes the processor to determine the current conservative anti-collision region according to a position of a vehicle body and a current driving direction of the vehicle.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the computer program further causes the processor to:

determine a first current conservative anti-collision region around the vehicle according to the position of the vehicle body; and

determine a second current conservative anti-collision region in front of the vehicle along the current driving direction of the vehicle;

wherein the current conservative anti-collision region comprises the first current conservation anti-collision region and the second current conservative anti-collision region.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first current conservative anti-collision region is a rectangular region around the vehicle body with an area larger than an area occupied by the vehicle;

the second current conservative anti-collision region is a rectangular region or a trapezoidal region with a side length longer than a width of the vehicle body, wherein the second current conservative anti-collision region is along the current driving direction of the vehicle and in front of the vehicle.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the computer program further causes the processor to collect current omnidirectional environmental information through at least one of an omnidirectional milliwave radar or a laser radar, and capture the omnidirectional environmental information in the current region in the current conservative anti-collision region.

12. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the computer program further causes the processor to perform a predictive compensation to the behavior of the obstacle entering the current conservative anti-collision region;

accordingly, the computer program further causes the processor to, after controlling the vehicle to conduct an anti-collision behavior according to a prediction result, control the vehicle to conduct a compensation for the anti-collision behavior according to a result of the prediction compensation.

13. A computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the method according to claim 1 .
