Overview

Electric vehicle headlamp illuminance directly affects the driver’s visibility. Accurately predicting electric vehicle headlamp illuminance is crucial to enhancing driving safety. Existing deep learning models are trained using data collected from real-world road testing, yet external factors may compromise its reliability. Electric vehicle headlamp illuminance prediction primarily relies on data fitting, and such models are prone to overfitting when input data are affected by external disturbances. To solve the problem, we propose a luminancxel properties physical information neural network (LumiPINN) prediction model. Test conditions are designed in accordance with standard. The data was collected in an indoor laboratory to eliminate the influence of external factors, then underwent cleaning and pre-processing to ensure data quality. During the modelling process, the physical model is treated as a constraint, with the loss function to jointly optimise the prediction model. Compared with Deep Neural Network and Artificial Neural Network prediction models, the Mean Absolute Error, Mean Square Error, Root Mean Square Error, Mean Relative Error were reduced by 60.2%, 83.6%, 59.6%, 61.3%, and 71.7%, 90.7%, 69.5%, 71.4%. The Coefficient of Determination improved by 0.0015 and 0.0029. The results show that the LumiPINN prediction model demonstrates higher accuracy in prediction outcomes.
