Abstract

A method, device and terminal apparatus for invoking an automatic driving reference line are provided. The method includes: acquiring lane information of a current lane where a vehicle is located; calculating an automatic driving reference line of the current lane according to the lane information of the current lane; invoking lane information of a switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and calculating an automatic driving reference line of the switching lane according to the automatic driving reference line of the current lane and the lane information of the switching lane.

Claims (48)

1 . A method for invoking an automatic driving reference line, comprising:

acquiring lane information of a current lane where a vehicle is located;

calculating an automatic driving reference line of the current lane according to the lane information of the current lane;

invoking lane information of a switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and

calculating an automatic driving reference line of the switching lane according to the automatic driving reference line of the current lane and the lane information of the switching lane.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before acquiring lane information of a current lane where a vehicle is located, the method further comprises:

acquiring a road feasible area between places of departure and destination; and

segmenting each road in the road feasible area to generate a plurality of road segments, each of the road segments comprising at least one lane.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the invoking lane information of a switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane comprises:

setting a priority of the switching lane according to the topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and

invoking the lane information of the switching lane in an order of the priority.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the setting a priority of the switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane comprises:

setting a priority of a lane on either side of the current lane to be higher than a priority of a lane at an end of the current lane.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the invoking the lane information of the switching lane in an order of the priority comprises:

if the switching lane comprises the lane on either side of the current lane and the lane at the end of the current lane, first invoking lane information of the lane on either side of the current lane, and then invoking lane information of the lane at the end of the current lane.

6 . A device for invoking an automatic driving reference line, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a storage device configured to store one or more programs, wherein

the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

acquire lane information of a current lane where a vehicle is located;

calculate an automatic driving reference line of the current lane according to the lane information of the current lane;

invoke lane information of a switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and

calculate an automatic driving reference line of the switching lane according to the automatic driving reference line of the current lane and the lane information of the switching lane.

7 . The device according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

acquire a road feasible area between places of departure and destination;

segment each road in the road feasible area to generate a plurality of road segments, each of the road segments comprising at least one lane.

8 . The device according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

set a priority of the switching lane according to the topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and

invoke the lane information of the switching lane in an order of the priority.

9 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

set a priority of a lane on either side of the current lane to be higher than a priority of a lane at an end of the current lane.

10 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors further to:

if the switching lane comprises the lane on either side of the current lane and the lane at the end of the current lane, first invoke lane information of the lane on either side of the current lane, and then invoke lane information of the lane at the end of the current lane.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

acquire lane information of a current lane where a vehicle is located;

calculate an automatic driving reference line of the current lane according to the lane information of the current lane;

invoke lane information of a switching lane according to a topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and

calculate an automatic driving reference line of the switching lane according to the automatic driving reference line of the current lane and the lane information of the switching lane.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the processor further to:

acquire a road feasible area between places of departure and destination;

segment each road in the road feasible area to generate a plurality of road segments, each of the road segments comprising at least one lane.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the processor further to:

set a priority of the switching lane according to the topological relation between the current lane and the switching lane; and

invoke the lane information of the switching lane in an order of the priority.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the processor further to:

set a priority of a lane on either side of the current lane to be higher than a priority of a lane at an end of the current lane.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 14 , wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the processor further to:

if the switching lane comprises the lane on either side of the current lane and the lane at the end of the current lane, first invoke lane information of the lane on either side of the current lane, and then invoke lane information of the lane at the end of the current lane.
