Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for estimating a vehicle mass using a wheel speed of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vehicle speed estimating apparatus using a wheel speed, which calculates a frequency corresponding to the wheel speed based on a wheel speed of the vehicle and estimates a mass of the vehicle associated with the calculated frequency, And methods.
Recently, vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that detects the drop in air pressure of a tire mounted on a vehicle and informs the driver. Such tire pressure sensing systems can be largely classified into a direct method and an indirect method.
In the direct method, a pressure sensor is installed inside the tire wheel to directly measure the air pressure of the tire. The direct method can detect the decrease of the air pressure of the tire with high accuracy, but it requires a dedicated wheel and has a problem in performance in a real environment, which is a technical and cost disadvantage.
The indirect method is a method of estimating the tire air pressure from the rotation information of the tire. Indirect tire pressure sensing systems can be further classified into Dynamic Loaded Radius (DLR) analysis methods and Resonance Frequency Method (RFM) analysis methods. This is briefly referred to as radius analysis and frequency analysis.
In the frequency analysis method, the decompressed tire is a method of detecting the difference from the normal-pressure tire by using the fact that the frequency characteristic of the wheel rotation speed signal changes. In the frequency analysis method, attention is paid to the resonance frequency which can be obtained by frequency analysis of the wheel rotation speed signal, and when the resonance frequency is calculated to be lower than the reference frequency estimated at the time of initialization, it is judged that the tire is decompressed.
The radial analysis method is a method of detecting the pressure drop by comparing the rotational speeds of four tires by using a phenomenon that the reduced load radii are smaller at the time of traveling of the decompressed tire and consequently the tire rotates faster than the normal tire.
On the other hand, the mass of the vehicle is very important information for various chassis control systems. For example, various chassis control systems include a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control (ESC), active roll stabilization (ARS), and continuous damping control Device (CDC Continuous Damping Control). When the mass change of the vehicle occurs, slip of the tire occurs and the number of revolutions of the engine may fluctuate. Further, a shift shock may occur in such a section, and the ride feeling may be lowered.
The mass of the vehicle is calculated using an equation of motion that models the motion of the vehicle or a height sensor mounted on a suspension of the vehicle. However, it is difficult to accurately calculate the motion state of the vehicle due to various changes in the motion state of the vehicle. In the case of using the height sensor, expensive parts must be mounted.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for estimating a vehicle mass that accurately estimates a mass of a vehicle using wheel speed information obtained by using a wheel speed sensor mounted on the vehicle without using a separate sensor .
A resonance frequency calculation unit calculates a resonance frequency in at least two directions by receiving wheel speed information from at least one wheel speed sensor provided in a vehicle. And a mass estimator for estimating the mass of the vehicle by using the ratio of the resonance frequencies along the two directions in the resonance frequency calculator.
The resonance frequency along the two directions may be a radial resonance frequency for a particular wheel and a vertical resonance frequency normal to the ground.
The ratio of the resonance frequency may be a value obtained by dividing the radial resonance frequency by a square of the vertical direction resonance frequency.
The mass estimator may estimate the actual vehicle mass according to the calculated resonance frequency ratio while holding the experimental value of the actual vehicle mass with respect to the resonance frequency ratio.
In one embodiment, the mass estimating unit estimates the mass of the vehicle using a resonance frequency according to wheel speed information about the wheel, which is not a driving wheel.
Also, the mass estimator may estimate the mass of the vehicle using the resonance frequency according to wheel speed information about the rear wheels.
In addition, the mass estimator may estimate the mass of the vehicle by averaging the mass of the estimated vehicle using the resonance frequency according to at least two wheel velocity information, or adding a weight.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling a vehicle, comprising: receiving wheel speed information of a specific wheel from a wheel speed sensor; Calculating a resonance frequency in at least two directions using the wheel speed information; And estimating a mass of the vehicle using the ratio of the resonance frequency.
The resonance frequency along the two directions may be a radial resonance frequency for a particular wheel and a vertical resonance frequency normal to the ground.
The ratio of the resonance frequency may be a value obtained by dividing the radial resonance frequency by a square of the vertical direction resonance frequency.
According to the present invention, there is an effect that the control according to the vehicle mass such as the vehicle posture control can be efficiently performed by accurately estimating the mass of the vehicle using the wheel speed information of the vehicle.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components throughout the drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. In addition, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but it is needless to say that the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and can be variously modified by those skilled in the art.
1 is a schematic diagram showing spring damper modeling for a tire mounted on a vehicle. 2 is a free body diagram according to modeling of a spring damper for a tire.
The equation of motion for the free body diagram shown in FIG. 2 is expressed by
In
Equation (1) can be rewritten as Equation (2) below.
In Equation (2), y (t) is the displacement of mass (m) at t, and h is the initial displacement of the spring.
When the tire is not rotating, y (t) = 0, and since the first derivative and the second derivative with respect to time are zero, kh = mg. Therefore, Equation (2) is summarized in Equation (3).
The solution of the equation of Equation (3) can be expressed as Equation (4).
In Equation (4),? Is a natural frequency and is expressed by Equation (5).
In Equation (5), c is a fixed value as a damping coefficient. In the spring damper modeling shown in Fig. 1, the spring constant k changes in accordance with the tire pressure (hereinafter, the change amount of the spring constant is expressed by [Delta] k ). ? Is a natural frequency with respect to the vertical direction of the tire, and is a value corresponding to the frequency in the vertical direction of the tire. According to the above description, the vertical direction resonance frequency (? Ver, resonance ) of the tire can be approximated as shown in Equation (6). In Equation (6), N is the vertical force applied to the tire, which is a value corresponding to the vehicle mass. Equation (6) can be expressed by the following equation (7).
On the other hand, in the spring damper model for a tire, the spring coefficient is proportional to the radial resonance frequency of the tire. That is, (k -? K) is proportional to the radial resonance frequency (? Rad, resonance ) of the tire. Accordingly, Equation (7) can be summarized as Equation (8).
From Equation (8), it can be seen that the vertical force N applied to the tire can be determined by the ratio of the radial resonance frequency and the vertical resonance frequency of the tire. Therefore, in the description of the present invention, N can be understood as a vertical force or a resonance frequency ratio applied to the tire.
The radial resonance frequency and the vertical resonance frequency with respect to the tire can be calculated from the rotational speed of the wheel inputted by the wheel speed sensor mounted on the wheel of the vehicle. A method of calculating the resonant frequency may be a method using a tire model, an adaptive filter, or a fast Fourier transform (FFT). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various methods can be utilized as long as the resonance frequency can be calculated from the rotational speed of the wheel.

The
The vertical force N applied to the tire shown in Equation (8) is a value corresponding to the mass of the vehicle, and the actual mass of the vehicle corresponding to N is calculated experimentally in advance according to the type of tire, And is stored in the
For example, FIG. 4 is a graph showing a relationship between a vertical force N applied to a tire and an actual vehicle mass in a vehicle mass estimating apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Here, N may be the same as the ratio of the resonance frequency shown on the right side of Equation (8), or may be a value obtained by multiplying the ratio of the resonance frequency by a predetermined coefficient.
Referring to Fig. 4, the relationship of the actual vehicle mass corresponding to the vertical force N is presented. In theory, the force in the vertical direction (N) and the actual vehicle mass can be linearly proportional, but the actual experimental results may be somewhat different.
In Equation (8), since N is expressed as a ratio of the resonance frequency, the change of the N value corresponding to the actual vehicle mass may not be large even when the pressure of the tire is lower or higher than the normal pressure. However, in the practice of the present invention, it is possible to consider the pressure value of the tire in deriving the relationship between N and the actual vehicle mass exemplified in Fig. In this case, the look-up table showing the relationship between N and the actual vehicle mass may be presented to include the correlation between N and the actual vehicle mass in accordance with the pressure value of the tire.
