Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle control method and device, a computer storage medium, and a vehicle, which are applied to the technical field of automobiles. The vehicle control method includes: determining, based on first information, second information, and third information, whether a vehicle is performing a reverse parking maneuver; comparing a reversing speed with a predetermined first speed when the vehicle is performing the reverse parking maneuver; and if the reversing speed is higher than the predetermined first speed, outputting a first control signal to adjust the reversing speed such that the reversing speed is not higher than the predetermined first speed, where the first information includes information indicating that the vehicle is in reverse gear, the second information indicates an environment surrounding the vehicle, and the third information indicates that the reversing speed is lower than a predetermined second speed, where the predetermined first speed is lower than the predetermined second speed.

Claims (27)

1. A vehicle control method, comprising:

determining that a vehicle is performing a reverse parking maneuver based on first information, second information, and third information;

comparing a reversing speed with a predetermined first speed and comparing a suspension damping of a rear axle of the vehicle with a predetermined suspension damping when the vehicle is performing the reverse parking maneuver; and

under the condition that the reversing speed is higher than the predetermined first speed, outputting a first control signal to adjust the reversing speed such that the reversing speed is not higher than the predetermined first speed,

under the condition that the suspension damping of the rear axle is lower than the predetermined suspension damping, a second control signal is output to cause the suspension damping of the rear axle to increase, wherein the second control signal is associated with the first control signal,

wherein the first information comprises information indicating that the vehicle is in reverse gear, the second information indicates an environment surrounding the vehicle, and the third information indicates that the reversing speed is lower than a predetermined second speed,

wherein the predetermined first speed is lower than the predetermined second speed.

2. The vehicle control method according to claim 1 , wherein

determining that the vehicle is performing the reverse parking maneuver is further based on fourth information from an auto parking assist system,

the fourth information indicating an auto parking state of the vehicle.

3. The vehicle control method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first control signal adjusts the reversing speed in such a manner that a reversing distance of the vehicle meets a predetermined reversing distance.

4. A vehicle control device, comprising:

a determination apparatus configured to determine that a vehicle is performing a reverse parking maneuver based on first information, second information, and third information, and generate a reverse parking signal when the vehicle is performing the reverse parking maneuver;

a comparison apparatus configured to compare a reversing speed with a predetermined first speed based on the reverse parking signal, and compare a suspension damping of a rear axle of the vehicle with a predetermined suspension damping based on the reverse parking signal; and

an output apparatus configured to,

under the condition that the reversing speed is higher than the predetermined first speed, output a first control signal to adjust the reversing speed such that the reversing speed is not higher than the predetermined first speed,

under the condition that the suspension damping of the rear axle is lower than the predetermined suspension damping, output a second control signal to cause the suspension damping of the rear axle to increase; and

a coordinative control apparatus, configured to associate the second control signal with the first control signal,

wherein the first information comprises information indicating that the vehicle is in reverse gear, the second information indicates an environment surrounding the vehicle, and the third information indicates that the reversing speed is lower than a predetermined second speed,

wherein the predetermined first speed is lower than the predetermined second speed.

5. The vehicle control device according to claim 4 , wherein

the determination apparatus further determines that the vehicle is performing the reverse parking maneuver based on fourth information which is input from an auto parking module,

the fourth information indicating an auto parking state of the vehicle.

6. The vehicle control device according to claim 4 , wherein

the first control signal adjusts the reversing speed in such a manner that a reversing distance of the vehicle meets a predetermined reversing distance.

7. A vehicle, comprising the vehicle control device according to claim 4 .
