a road ambient environment sensing system, configured to obtain sensing information of a road ambient environment in real time, process the sensing information to obtain vehicle driving assistance information, and send the vehicle driving assistance information to a vehicle-mounted terminal; and

the vehicle-mounted terminal, configured to receive the vehicle driving assistance information, and plan a driving route according to the vehicle driving assistance information and vehicle-acquired information;

wherein the road ambient environment sensing system comprises:

a scanning and sensing module, configured to scan the road ambient environment by using one or more types of scanning devices, and send the sensing information obtained through scanning to a data processing module;

the data processing module, configured to process the sensing information to obtain the vehicle driving assistance information, and send the vehicle driving assistance information to a roadside Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) module; and

the roadside V2X module, configured to send the vehicle driving assistance information in a multicast communication mode to the vehicle-mounted terminal on a vehicle that is passing or is going to run through the current road;

wherein the data processing module comprises a data fusion module, the data fusion module is configured to perform different levels of related processing on the sensing information obtained through scanning using multiple scanning devices or multiple types of scanning devices.

2. The safe passing system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the data processing module is integrated on the roadside V2X module or the scanning and sensing module.

3. The safe passing system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the scanning device is selected from the group consisting of a laser radar, an over-the-horizon radar, a microwave radar, a millimeter-wave radar, an infrared device, a camera and combinations thereof; and the scanning device is mounted on one or more of a signal light stand, a street light pole, a traffic sign stand, a billboard stand, and a roadside building.

4. The safe passing system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a cloud server, wherein

the data processing module is further configured to send a data processing request to the cloud server, and receive the vehicle driving assistance information fed back by the cloud server; and

the cloud server is configured to receive the data processing request sent by the data processing module, process the sensing information according to the data processing request to obtain the vehicle driving assistance information, and feed the vehicle driving assistance information back to the data processing module.

5. The safe passing system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle-mounted terminal comprises:

the vehicle-mounted control system, configured to plan the driving route according to the vehicle driving assistance information and the vehicle-acquired information.

6. The safe passing system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the road ambient environment comprises all perceivable traffic elements that affect road traffic safety, and the traffic elements comprise pedestrians, vehicles, roads, road ancillary facilities and obstacles; and

the vehicle driving assistance information comprises attribute information and vector information of the traffic elements, and the vector information comprises a speed, an acceleration, and a predicted motion track.

7. A safe passing method for a vehicle, comprising:

obtaining, by a road ambient environment sensing system, sensing information of a road ambient environment in real time, processing the sensing information of the road ambient environment to obtain vehicle driving assistance information, and sending the vehicle driving assistance information to a vehicle-mounted terminal; and

receiving, by the vehicle-mounted terminal, the vehicle driving assistance information, and planning a driving route according to the vehicle driving assistance information and vehicle-acquired information;

wherein the obtaining, by the road ambient environment sensing system, sensing information of the road ambient environment in real time, processing the sensing information of the road ambient environment to obtain vehicle driving assistance information, and sending the vehicle driving assistance information to the vehicle-mounted terminal comprises:

scanning, by a scanning and sensing module, the road ambient environment by using one or more types of scanning devices, and sending the sensing information obtained through scanning to a data processing module;

processing, by the data processing module, the sensing information to obtain the vehicle driving assistance information, and sending the vehicle driving assistance information to a roadside Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) module; and

sending, by the roadside V2X module, the vehicle driving assistance information in a multicast communication mode to the vehicle-mounted terminal on a vehicle that is passing or is going to run through the current road;

wherein processing, by the data processing module, the sensing information to obtain the vehicle driving assistance information comprises: performing, by a data fusion module, different levels of related processing on the sensing information obtained through scanning using multiple scanning devices or multiple types of scanning devices.

8. The safe passing method for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the processing, by the data processing module, the sensing information to obtain the vehicle driving assistance information comprises:

sending, by the data processing module, a data processing request to a cloud server;

receiving, by the cloud server, the data processing request sent by the data processing module, processing the sensing information according to the data processing request to obtain the vehicle driving assistance information, and feeding the vehicle driving assistance information back to the data processing module; and

receiving, by the data processing module, the vehicle driving assistance information fed back by the cloud server.

9. The safe passing method for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the receiving, by the vehicle-mounted terminal, the vehicle driving assistance information, and planning a driving route according to the vehicle driving assistance information and vehicle-acquired information comprises:
