Detailed Description
Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present application relates generally to a driving assistance technique for providing brake control for a vehicle that requires braking during a hill climbing.
Fig. 1 schematically shows a driving assistance system 100 according to one possible embodiment of the present application. The driving assistance system 100 is provided on a vehicle, and includes a radar device 110 and a stability device 120. The driving assistance system 100 may be configured as an adaptive cruise control system.
In the present embodiment, the radar device 110 is used to detect a traveling state of the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle, for example, a distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle. Radar device 110 may also detect information such as the relative orientation between the leading vehicle and the subject vehicle.
In the present embodiment, stability device 120 (e.g., ESP) interacts with radar device 110 via a bus system. For example, stability device 120 receives a range signal from radar device 110 that it detects. The stability device 120 includes a brake control unit 130 for determining whether braking needs to be applied to the host vehicle during the climbing of the host vehicle. The brake control unit 130 is also configured to calculate a target braking force when it is determined that braking needs to be performed. Optionally, the brake control unit 130 may also be used to determine a gradient to increase the braking force.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the stability device 120 communicates with the radar device 110 via an in-vehicle network and a bus system (e.g., a CAN bus), i.e., signals are transmitted between the stability device 120 and the radar device 110 in a cycle specified by the communication protocol. For example, a signal that the radar device 110 detects a distance or the like is transmitted to the stability device 120 at a communication cycle (for example, 20 ms).
According to a specific embodiment, radar device 110 may include a radar sensor (not shown) and an electronic control unit (not shown) coupled to the radar sensor. The radar sensor is used for detecting distance information between the front vehicle and the vehicle. The electronic control unit receives the speed signal of the vehicle from the stability device 120 and calculates the speed of the vehicle ahead based on the speed signal and the detected distance between the vehicle ahead and the vehicle. In some embodiments, the electronic control unit may determine that the host vehicle needs to be braked and generate a standstill request signal for requesting the host vehicle to be stationary based on the speed of the host vehicle and the distance between the host vehicle and the host vehicle, and send the standstill request signal to the stability device 120.
In some embodiments, the electronic control unit may determine a target deceleration at which the host vehicle decelerates from the current speed to zero speed based on the speed of the leading vehicle and the distance between the leading vehicle and the host vehicle, and provide the determined target deceleration to the stability device 120. The stabilization device 120 performs data processing (e.g., smoothing filtering, etc.) on the received target deceleration and calculates a target braking force using the processed target deceleration.
In some embodiments, the brake control unit 130 of the stability device 120 is in a standby state all the time after the stability device 120 is turned on, and may be selectively activated. For example, stability device 120 generates a trigger signal to activate brake control unit 130 in response to a deceleration demand signal from radar device 110.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of the brake control unit 130 in fig. 1. The brake control unit 130 and its operation are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 2, the brake control unit 130 mainly includes an acquisition module 131, a processing module 132, and a braking force determination module 133. The obtaining module 131 is configured to obtain the driving states of the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle during the climbing of the host vehicle, where the driving states include at least the speed of the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle and the distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle. The processing module 132 determines whether the driving assistance system 100 of the host vehicle needs to brake the host vehicle based on the acquired traveling state, acquires a target deceleration of the host vehicle when it is determined that braking of the host vehicle is needed, and calculates a first term F1 of braking force from the target deceleration. The processing module 132 further calculates a second term F2 for braking force based on the grade value of the road on which the vehicle is located. The braking force determination module 133 is configured to determine a target braking force required by the driving assistance system 100 to brake the host vehicle according to the first item of braking force F1 and the second item of braking force F2. For example, the target braking force may be F1-F2, or a function related to F1 and F2. Note that F2 is opposite in sign to F1.
It follows that according to the embodiments of the present application, when determining the braking force for a vehicle that needs to be braked during a hill climb, the influence of the road gradient on the braking is taken into account, and the target braking force is corrected based on, for example, the gradient resistance and the rolling resistance, so that an appropriate target braking force can be provided for the braking process.
The processing module 132 may calculate a first term F1 for braking force according to the formula F ═ ma, where F is the first term F1 for braking force, m is the weight of the host vehicle and its contents, and a is the target deceleration. In some embodiments, the processing module 132 calculates a target deceleration from the data information received from the radar device 110 and the measurement value of the speed sensor of the driving assistance system 100, and uses the target deceleration to calculate the first term F1 for the braking force. In other embodiments, as described above, radar device 110 determines a target deceleration based on the travel states of the leading and the host vehicles and provides the target deceleration to processing module 132. The processing module 132 data processes (e.g., filters) the received target deceleration and uses the processed target deceleration to calculate a first term of braking force F1.
The processing module 132 may determine the second term F2 for the braking force from a lookup table containing a correspondence between ramp values and braking force correction values. For example, in the control surface, each range of gradient values corresponds to a different second term F2 of braking force, respectively. In the correspondence relationship of the map, two kinds of force factors relating to the gradient value, i.e., gravity and rolling resistance, are considered for the vehicle braking. The map is prepared in advance and stored in a memory (not shown) of the driving assistance system, for example.
In some embodiments, the host vehicle has a grade sensor for measuring a current road grade value and providing the measured grade value to the processing module 132. In other embodiments, the host vehicle may not have a grade sensor, instead the host vehicle has a longitudinal acceleration sensor and an acceleration sensor for measuring the current deceleration of the host vehicle. The processing module 132 calculates a grade value of the current road from the measured value of the longitudinal acceleration sensor and the current deceleration of the host vehicle.
In some cases, the powertrain of the vehicle may provide driving force to the vehicle during vehicle climbing. In the embodiment in this case, the acquisition module 131 also acquires the driving force provided to the host vehicle by the powertrain of the host vehicle during braking of the host vehicle by the driving assistance system 100. The processing module 132 calculates a third term F3 for the braking force based on the driving force. The braking force determination module 133 determines the target braking force based on the first term F1, the second term F2, and the third term F3. For example, the target braking force may be F1-F2+ F3, or a function related to F1, F2, F3. In this embodiment, in the case where the gradient is large, the influence of gravity is large, the driving force may not be sufficient to cancel out the gravity, and the braking force is mainly used to cancel out the component of the gravity in the direction parallel to the slope. In the case where the gradient is small, the influence of gravity is small, the component of gravity in the direction parallel to the slope is not sufficient to cancel out the driving force, and a braking force is required together with the driving force to cancel out the driving force.
Therefore, according to the embodiment of the application, when the braking force is determined for the vehicle braked and stopped in the uphill process, the influence of the road gradient on the braking is considered, and the influence of the driving force is also considered, so that a more appropriate target braking force can be provided for the braking process, the braking process is softer, and the user experience is improved.
The following describes a process in which the processing module 132 determines whether the driving assistance system 100 needs to apply braking to the host vehicle.
First, the processing module 132 determines whether the target brake time satisfies a brake time threshold. The braking time threshold value is a braking time threshold value that the driving support system 100 specifies for the host vehicle. In some embodiments, the driving assistance system 100 may set the braking time threshold for the host vehicle according to a gradient value of a road on which the host vehicle is located. For example, the braking time threshold is set to increase as the gradient value increases. That is, when the gradient value is large, braking needs to be performed earlier.
The processing module 132 calculates the target brake time includes both feedback and feed-forward calculations. When the vehicle speed is greater, such as greater than or equal to a predetermined speed threshold, the processing module 132 calculates the target braking time using a feedback calculation, i.e., a target braking time based on the current vehicle speed (e.g., measured by a vehicle speed sensor) and the current deceleration (e.g., measured by an acceleration sensor) of the host vehicle. That is, when the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the processing module 132 calculates the target braking time according to the equation t ═ v/a. When the vehicle speed decreases below the predetermined speed threshold, the calculation according to the formula is inaccurate, and the target braking time is calculated more accurately in a feed forward calculation manner, i.e., in a periodically decreasing manner, which is referred to as the above-mentioned communication period. That is, when the vehicle speed is less than the predetermined speed threshold, the target braking time is determined by decrementing by a time period at each communication cycle.
The processing module 132 calculates the target brake time in the manner described above until the calculated target brake time decreases to the brake time threshold, the processing module 132 determines that the target brake time satisfies the brake time threshold and generates a first command indicating compliance with the time threshold. The acquisition module 131 acquires the current braking force of the host vehicle in response to the first instruction. That is, when the calculated target braking force decreases to the braking time threshold, the acquisition module 131 acquires the current braking force at that time. The processing module 132 compares the current braking force with the calculated target braking force, and when it is determined that the current braking force is equal to or greater than the target braking force, the processing module 132 determines that the brake control unit 130 does not perform the brake control. When the processing module 132 determines that the current braking force is less than the target braking force, a second command is generated indicating to increase the current braking force.
To control the braking force increase process from the current braking force to the target braking force, the brake control unit 130 further includes a braking force control module 134. The braking force control module 134 controls the host vehicle braking system to begin increasing the current braking force in response to the first and second commands until the target braking force is reached.
In one embodiment, braking force control module 134 also sets an execution time, i.e., an execution time from the start of increasing the braking force to the target braking force. The braking force control module 134 determines a gradient of increasing the braking force according to the braking force that needs to be increased and the execution time, and controls the brake system to increase the braking force at the gradient.
It follows that according to this embodiment, the gradient of increasing the braking force can be adjusted by adjusting the execution time. That is to say, can make this car braking process faster or slower through adjusting the execution time, for example, according to user's experience or demand adjusting the execution time in appropriate range to make whole braking process more humanized, further promoted user experience.
It should be appreciated that in some embodiments, during the entire braking process, although there are dynamic changing factors, such as the real-time sensed values of the sensors (e.g., radar sensor, speed sensor, acceleration sensor, etc.) may change, and the road gradient may also change, the target braking force is based on the instant that the calculated target braking time satisfies the braking time threshold, and will not change any more during the braking process thereafter (i.e., the target braking force will not change any more after being "frozen"). In other embodiments, the target braking force is continuously calculated and updated according to the real-time measured values of the sensors during the whole braking process, that is, the braking force is detected and regulated in real time during the whole braking process.
It is to be understood that when the host vehicle is parked on a slope, the braking force is mainly used to stop the vehicle on the slope without slipping, that is, the braking force is used to cancel the component of gravity in the direction parallel to the slope. According to different strategies of various vehicle control systems, when the vehicle is completely stationary, the power system can immediately cancel the driving force, or cancel the driving force after the vehicle is stationary for a period of time, or keep a little driving force without canceling the driving force all the time.
Fig. 3 shows a brake control method 300 for the driving assistance system 100 according to one possible embodiment of the invention. Alternatively, the brake control method 300 is implemented by the brake control unit 130 described above. It should be noted, however, that the principles of the present application are not limited to a particular type and configuration of control unit. As shown in fig. 3, in step 310, the traveling states of the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle are acquired while the host vehicle is climbing a slope. In step 320, it is determined whether the driving assistance system 100 of the host vehicle needs to brake the host vehicle based on the acquired traveling state, and when it is determined that the braking of the host vehicle is needed, a target deceleration of the host vehicle is acquired, a first item F1 of braking force is calculated from the target deceleration, and a second item F2 of braking force is calculated from a gradient value of a road on which the host vehicle is located. In step 330, a target braking force required for the driving assistance system 100 to apply braking to the host vehicle is determined from the first item of braking force F1 and the second item of braking force F2.
It should be understood that the operation of the brake control unit 130 is equally applicable to the brake control method 300. Accordingly, various related features described above with respect to the brake control unit 130 are equally applicable to this brake control method 300.
There is also provided, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions, when executed, cause the method 300 to be performed.

The appended claims and their equivalents are intended to cover all such modifications, substitutions and changes as may be made within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
