Background
Vehicle stability recognition in low adhesion road conditions is critical to ensure safe vehicle travel. When a vehicle runs on a low-adhesion road surface, such as a rain, snow, ice, or muddy road surface, the vehicle easily enters an unstable adhesion state, and further, the driving wheels slip or are locked. Description figure 1 shows the adhesion steady state condition of a vehicle under different road surfaces, wherein the abscissa of the graph is the slip ratio, and the ordinate of the graph is the adhesion coefficient, wherein the slip ratio is the proportion of a sliding component in the movement of wheels. It can be seen that there is an optimum working point or optimum slip ratio, corresponding to the maximum adhesion coefficient, for either the dry asphalt pavement at the top of the figure or the rain pavement at the bottom. When the slip ratio is smaller than the optimal slip ratio, the adhesion state is stable, and the adhesion coefficient and the adhesion force are increased along with the increase of the slip ratio, so that the driving stability of the vehicle is facilitated; when the slip ratio is greater than the optimal slip ratio, the adhesion state is unstable, the adhesion coefficient and the adhesion force can be reduced along with the increase of the slip ratio, the wheel speed and the slip ratio can be further increased along with the reduction of the adhesion force of the driving wheel, and the slip degree of the driving wheel is aggravated. Therefore, the position of the optimal operating point or the optimal slip ratio can be defined as the adhesion boundary, that is, the stable adhesion region of the vehicle corresponding to the point toward the direction of smaller slip ratio and the unstable adhesion region of the vehicle corresponding to the point toward the direction of larger slip ratio, or called unstable slip region. If the vehicle is in an unstable adhesion region, the adhesion force is reduced, the vehicle handling performance is deteriorated, and the stability is deteriorated. As can be seen, the boundary between the stable and unstable attachment areas of the vehicle varies with the type of road surface due to the complexity of the contact between the tire and the road surface. Therefore, when different road conditions are faced, the accurate identification of the unstable vehicle attachment area has important significance for the safe and stable control of the vehicle. After the adhesion boundary, i.e. the optimal operating point in fig. 1, is identified, a reference may be provided to the control system, for example, after a stable adhesion boundary in an ice condition is identified, the operating point corresponding to the stable boundary, e.g. the optimal slip ratio, the maximum adhesion coefficient, etc., may be used as control reference information, so that the maximum adhesion capability of the low adhesion road surface may be fully utilized while the vehicle is ensured to be stable. However, accurate identification of stable adhesion boundaries under such uncertain road conditions has remained a challenging problem to date.
Currently, an active safety control system in a conventional fuel commercial vehicle, such as a Traction Control System (TCS), an anti-lock brake control system (ABS), etc., is generally controlled according to a worst-adhesion road surface, that is, a slip ratio of a driving wheel is consistently controlled around a certain value, for example, a target slip ratio is controlled to be 0.2, by applying an external friction braking force to each wheel regardless of a current road surface. The method has the defects that the stable adhesion boundary under different road surface conditions cannot be accurately identified, and further the optimal adhesion control cannot be realized.
In order to recognize the adhesion stability state of different road surfaces, the determination can be made using an adhesion coefficient-slip ratio curve of the contact between the tire and the road surface as shown in fig. 1. However, as described above, the optimal slip ratios corresponding to the adhesion coefficient curves of different road surfaces are different, and identifying the optimal slip ratio is a difficult problem in practical application.
In order to avoid the problem that the adhesion stability is difficult to judge due to the difficulty in accurately identifying the optimal slip ratio, the adhesion stability can be judged by using the ratio of the change rate of the adhesion coefficient to the change rate of the slip ratio, namely, the following formula is calculated:
when the ratio k of the change rate of the adhesion coefficient to the change rate of the slip rate is greater than 0, the adhesion state is stable; when k is less than 0, the attachment is unstable; when k is equal to 0, it is a boundary state of the stable adhesion and the unstable slip state. The method is consistent for all tires and road surface relation curves, so that the problem of consistency of adhesion stability judgment under different road surface conditions is solved. However, since the measurement accuracy and bandwidth of the adhesion coefficient and slip ratio are not high, and the measurement is easily interfered by noise, high frequency noise is introduced into the differential signal for calculating them, and thus the practicability of the above-mentioned discrimination method is not good.
In order to overcome the problem, patent ZL201410783813.2 uses driving force, wheel speed and estimated adhesion to determine whether the vehicle is stable in a traction state, and aims to solve the problem that the adhesion coefficient, slip ratio and differential signal thereof are easy to interfere and cause difficulty in practical application faced by the above method. However, the method still needs to estimate the adhesion, which increases the computational complexity on one hand, and on the other hand, the adhesion estimation accuracy is also easily affected by the wheel speed measurement signal, so that the accuracy is difficult to guarantee.
Therefore, in the prior art of vehicle adhesion stability identification, measurement of parameters such as slip rate, optimal slip rate, adhesion coefficient, wheel speed and the like is generally required, or signals are estimated based on the parameters, and the measurement bandwidth of the signals is low, the measurement or estimation accuracy is not high, and the overall scheme also has the defects of high calculation complexity and the like, so that the prior adhesion stability identification technical scheme is easy to be effective in practical application.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
In electrically driven vehicles, the driving torque T of the drive motor is applied to the drive wheels, the tires coming into direct contact with the road surface, this contact producing a friction force, i.e. a grip force F, of the road surface against the tiresdThe massage isThe friction force, otherwise known as the adhesion force, is the driving force that drives the vehicle in motion. This relationship can be described by two equations, a wheel dynamics model and a vehicle dynamics model:
T-rFd=Jωω (2)
Fd-Fdr=MV (3)
where ω is the driving wheel rotational angular velocity, FdrIs the resistance of the whole vehicle, M is the mass of the vehicle, and the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle is V, JωIs the equivalent rotational inertia of the wheel, r is the rolling radius of the wheel, and the specific parameters can be referred to as the description and shown in the attached figure 2.
Further, the slip ratio is represented by λ, which represents a degree of difference between the translational velocity equivalent to the wheel speed and the vehicle speed,
where ε is a small positive constant to avoid a denominator of zero. And adhesion force FdIs the friction force generated by the contact action of the tyre and the road surface, can be described by the longitudinal adhesion coefficient mu and the vertical load N of the wheel as follows,
Fd=μ(λ)N (5)
therefore, the motor driving force T influences the wheel speed and further influences the change of the slip ratio lambda; aiming at different road surfaces, the boundary of the stable attachment area and the unstable slipping area is different, namely the optimal slip rate is different in size. Under different road surfaces, the friction force generated by the contact action between the tire and the road surface is different, and the curve relation between the slip ratio and the adhesion coefficient is also different, so that the generated adhesion force F is generateddThe acceleration of the vehicle differs from one another.
According to the above formula and the known knowledge, the motor driving torque and the road surface type factor are main external factors causing the change of the adhesion state, the acceleration is a physical quantity generated under the combined action of the external factors, and the change of the three physical quantities causes the change of the vehicle adhesion working point, such as the slip ratio and the adhesion coefficient, thereby influencing whether the vehicle is in a stable adhesion state or an unstable slip state. Therefore, based on the above analysis, by the three signals of the motor driving force, the road surface type, and the acceleration, a mapping relation with the vehicle adhesion state can be established. Due to the characteristics of nonlinearity, complexity and coupling of the model, it is difficult to express the mapping relationship by using a mathematical formula, and the attachment state is identified by complex calculation. Thus, the present invention employs a data-driven approach. The data-driven method of the invention means that the recognizer adopts a data-driven model, not a mechanism model. A preferred data-driven recognizer is to use a neural network model that can implement non-linear mapping and to determine parameters within the network by performing training.
As shown in the attached figures 3 and 4 of the specification, the data-driven method adopted by the invention mainly comprises the following steps of training the recognizer:
and S01, collecting the vehicle running parameters in different scenes, wherein the parameters comprise vehicle motor driving force, road surface type and vehicle acceleration signals.
The motor driving force CAN be measured by a special torque sensor of a motor driving system, or CAN be directly given by a motor driver through a CAN bus message; the acceleration signal measurement may be measured directly by the acceleration sensor. In the data acquisition process, the driving torque of the motor can adopt various input signal types such as slope input, constant value input, sine input and the like, and the pavement types can be set to various pavement types such as ice, rain, snow, dry asphalt pavement and the like, so that the coverage and richness of test data are enhanced.
Specifically, the motor driving torque measurement signal is a signal sequence at the current moment and in a period before the current moment. If the current time is k, the motor driving torque measurement signal refers to a signal time sequence of m +1 dimensions: { Tk-m,...,Tk-1,TkAnd represents the measured values of the motor at the time k, the time k-1, … and the time k-m. The acceleration measurement signal is also a signal sequence at the current moment and a period of time before. If the current time is k, the motor driving torque measurement signal refers to a signal time sequence of m +1 dimensions: { ak-m,...,ak-1,ak}. In order to eliminate the influence of numerical values on the network and facilitate network training, the normalization of the current road surface type parameter is taken as [0, 1]]The numerical value in between. For example, where 0 represents the most slippery road surface, 1 represents the strongest road surface adhesion, and the intermediate value is set according to the specific road surface condition. One solution is to classify the road surface image obtained by the vision sensor, such as ice road surface, snow road surface, rain road surface, semi-dry road surface, etc., and the corresponding road surface type parameter can be set to 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0. Further, the road surface type parameters can be fuzzified, for example, the ice and snow mixed road surface is 0.3.
Because the signal ranges of the motor driving force and the acceleration measurement data are different, network training is not facilitated, and therefore consistency processing is required. The motor driving force and the acceleration are normalized and mapped to an interval of [ -1, 1] according to the following formula:
and S02, collecting the slip ratio signal and the optimal slip ratio signal at the same time, and calculating the adhesion stability parameter according to the relationship between the slip ratio and the optimal slip ratio, so that the quantitative adhesion stability under different motor driving forces, road surface types and accelerations can be described.
The slip rate signal is obtained by measuring the wheel speed and the vehicle speed and calculating according to the slip rate definition; the optimal slip rate is related to the type of the road surface and can be obtained by off-line test measurement; the slip rate and the optimal slip rate are only used for determining the attachment stability parameters in the training data set, and when the model is actually applied after being trained well, the two parameters do not need to be measured.
According to the slip rate data and the optimal slip rate data, calculating an adhesion stability parameter sigma reflecting the current adhesion stable state according to the following mode:
when the slip ratio is larger than the optimum slip ratio, the adhesion stability parameter is normalized to the interval (0, -1 ]:
when the slip ratio is equal to the optimal slip ratio and is in the optimal adhesion state, the adhesion stability parameter sigma is 0;
when the slip ratio is less than the optimum slip ratio, the adhesion stability parameter is normalized to the interval (0,1 ]:
in the above formula, λ is the slip ratio, λoptThe calculation result of the adhesion stability parameter σ is shown in fig. 5 in the specification.
S03, establishing a nonlinear neural network model which can realize a complex nonlinear mapping relation, and training network model parameters by using the data obtained in the steps S01 and S02 as a training set.
And training the network by taking the signals (T ', a', theta) as input signals and the sigma as output signals until the network is converged, and determining the weight of the network parameters. Wherein the input signals T ' and a ' are normalized (m +1) -dimensional time-series signals, i.e., T ' ═ Tk′-m,...,Tk′-1,Tk′],a′=[a′k-m,...,a′k-1,a′k]。
After the trained network model is used, the attachment stability parameters can be predicted on line.
The invention provides a data-driven electric drive vehicle attachment stability identification method, which comprises the following steps:
s11, measuring the driving torque T of the motor;
s12, measuring the acceleration a of the vehicle along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle body;
s13, identifying a road surface type parameter sigma;
s14, inputting the signals into a trained recognizer based on the three types of signals to obtain a vehicle attachment stability parameter sigma;
s15, determining the adhesion stable state according to the following conditions: σ >0 is stable adhesion, σ ═ 0 is optimal adhesion, and σ <0 is unstable slippage.
In this embodiment, the motor driving torque measurement signal is a signal sequence at the current time and a period before the current time. If the current time is k, the motor driving torque measurement signal refers to a signal time sequence of m +1 dimensions: { Tk-m,...,Tk-1,TkAnd represents the measured values of the motor at the time k, the time k-1, … and the time k-m. The size of m can be adjusted according to specific sampling period and identification effect, for example, the sampling period is 10ms, and m is 9, which represents that the motor driving torque signal sequence is 10 times of measured data in the past 100 milliseconds. The larger the m is selected, the more obvious the trend of the signal is, but the sensitivity of detection response can be correspondingly influenced, and the better balance value can be found by actually adjusting according to the result. Preferably, the measurement data can be obtained 10-20 times, and if the sampling period is 10ms, the data of the motor driving torque 100 and 200ms are preferably obtained.
In this embodiment, the acceleration measurement signal is also a signal sequence before the current time. If the current time is k, the motor driving torque measurement signal refers to a signal time sequence of m +1 dimensions: { ak-m,...,ak-1,ak}. The size of m can be adjusted according to specific sampling period and identification effect, for example, the sampling period is 10ms, and m is 9, which represents that the motor driving torque signal sequence is 10 times of measurement data in the past 100 milliseconds. Similarly, the driving torque signal sequence is the same as that of a motor, the larger the m is selected, the more obvious the trend of the signal is, but the sensitivity of detection response is influenced correspondingly, and the driving torque signal sequence can be actually adjusted according to the result to find a better balance value. Preferably, the measurement data can be obtained 10-20 times, and if the sampling period is 10ms, the data of 100-200ms of the acceleration signal is preferably obtained。
Preferably, since the signal ranges of the motor driving force and the acceleration measurement data are different, the consistency processing is required. The motor driving force and acceleration are normalized and mapped to the [ -1, 1] interval in the calculation manner of the above equations (6) and (7).
In this embodiment, for the requirement of network training, eliminating the influence of the value, and at the same time facilitating the training of the network, the normalization of the current road surface type parameter θ is taken as a value between [0, 1 ]. For example, where 0 represents the most slippery road surface, 1 represents the strongest road surface adhesion, and the intermediate value is set according to the specific road surface condition. One solution is to classify the road surface image obtained by the vision sensor, such as ice road surface, snow road surface, rain road surface, semi-dry road surface, etc., and the corresponding road surface type parameter can be set to 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0. Further, the road surface type parameters can be fuzzified, for example, the ice and snow mixed road surface is 0.3.
In this embodiment, the motor driving force may be measured by a dedicated torque sensor of the motor driving system, or may be directly given by the motor driver through a CAN bus message. The acceleration signal measurement may be measured directly by the acceleration sensor. The road surface type parameters are mainly used for fuzzy representation of road surface adhesion characteristics, a specific obtaining mode of the road surface type parameters is not limited, and the method for obtaining the road surface type parameters by classifying the road surface type based on the image is only one method. In addition, other special sensors, such as optical, acoustic, etc. special sensors, may be used to obtain the road surface type.

A memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores computer executable instructions, the instructions are called by the processor to identify an attachment stability parameter σ through a trained network model, so as to determine an attachment stability state: σ >0 is stable adhesion, σ ═ 0 is optimal adhesion, and σ <0 is unstable slippage. The above result can provide control basis for other vehicle control units.
The invention provides an identification method and device for estimating adhesion stability of an electrically driven vehicle based on directly measured parameters such as driving force, acceleration and road surface identification types. The driving force and the acceleration signal which can be directly measured are adopted, so that the attachment coefficient can be obtained through the recognizer, signals which are difficult to accurately estimate or measure such as the attachment coefficient, the slip rate and the optimal slip rate do not need to be estimated or calculated, speed measurement signals such as wheel speed do not need to be obtained, the measurement step of obtaining parameters with low bandwidth or inaccurate measurement is avoided, the whole method is simple and reliable, the response is fast, and the practicability is good. By adopting a data driving method, the generalization capability is good, a mechanism model is not needed, and the influence of system nonlinearity uncertainty can be responded, so that the whole system is more stable.
