Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for determining a deceleration variable, in particular a possible one, of a brake, and a device, a vehicle, a computer program product, and a storage medium for carrying out the method.
- KBR 1086 / SfN Signal also allows conclusions to be drawn about the progress of wear before complete wear.
- a sliding contact can also be used, which strikes when it has been exposed due to wear.
- a deceleration variable in particular a possible deceleration variable, for example a braking torque or a braking force, or a possible vehicle deceleration can be determined for specific brakes on the vehicle, although there may be other brakes that are excluded from this determination.
- a deceleration variable in particular a possible deceleration variable, for example a braking torque or a braking force, or a possible vehicle deceleration can be determined for specific brakes on the vehicle, although there may be other brakes that are excluded from this determination.
- there is no relatively complex determination of deceleration variables if corresponding parameters and/or manipulated variables of these brakes are not known or cannot be determined, or if the corresponding brake is not used continuously, as in the case of a lifting axle. Another case for this can be the arrangement of the brake in a trailer.
- a possible variable such as a possible manipulated variable, a possible deceleration variable or a possible vehicle deceleration
- a possible manipulated variable such as a possible manipulated variable, a possible deceleration variable or a possible vehicle deceleration
- a possible vehicle deceleration is to be understood as a variable that can be achieved in terms of amount by the system under consideration, the actuator under consideration or the like. This means the currently available range of values or specifically a specific value from it that the corresponding variable can assume.
- a trailer is to be understood as meaning any possible form of a trailer.
- a trailer can include a semi-trailer or a drawbar trailer.
- a towing vehicle may be a vehicle that can tow a trailer under its own power. However, it can also be a vehicle that is being towed in turn, and at the same time it can be towing another trailer. In particular, it can be a dolly or a trailer that is designed to be coupled to another trailer.
- a method for determining a deceleration variable of a braking system of a vehicle comprising at least one brake and at least one additional brake, the method having the following steps:
- a deceleration variable is preferably to be understood as meaning a braking torque or a braking force which is generated by the at least one brake and/or the at least one further brake in response to the manipulated variable.
- the method according to the invention thus includes determining a corresponding deceleration variable of the at least one brake based on a manipulated variable that causes this deceleration variable in the at least one brake, which is therefore generated by the brake.
- the determination is preferably based on knowledge of the at least one brake, ie a reaction of the at least one brake to the manipulated variable is known. This can also include knowing the current state of the at least one brake, for example even when the performance of the at least one brake has already decreased due to wear. This knowledge is missing for the determination of the delay magnitude at least one more brake.
- the deceleration variable of the at least one further brake is indirectly inferred here via the actual braking effect, ie the ultimate vehicle reaction to the braking or the set deceleration variables of the brakes.
- the braking effect is preferably determined by means of or on the basis of a vehicle deceleration and/or by means of or on the basis of a vehicle speed.
- the vehicle deceleration can be detected, for example, by a corresponding acceleration sensor. If the vehicle speed is considered, a change in the vehicle speed due to the braking system can be considered in particular, or the vehicle speed can be considered as a control variable, in which case the required manipulated variable amount is then considered in particular in order to keep the speed constant, for example on a downhill gradient .
- the braking effect can therefore be described in particular by a vehicle deceleration and/or by a speed profile of the vehicle. In particular, the braking effect can be determined by considering the speed before and after braking, in particular the resulting speed difference.
- the method preferably also has the following steps:
- a brake system model which is designed to determine a deceleration variable of the at least one brake from an input manipulated variable amount
- Deceleration size of the at least one brake is carried out by the braking system model.
- a brake system model is used to determine the deceleration variable of the at least one brake.
- the brake system model used is designed to map the behavior of the at least one brake of the vehicle to an actual manipulated variable with the corresponding manipulated variable amount.
- the deceleration variable achieved with a specific manipulated variable is thus determined.
- a possible deceleration variable of the at least one further brake is preferably determined based on the previously determined deceleration variable of the at least one brake and a possible manipulated variable with a possible manipulated variable amount.
- a behavior or a reaction of the at least one additional brake to a specific manipulated variable is known from the specific deceleration variable of the at least one additional brake.
- a possible deceleration variable of the at least one further brake can be determined from this, in particular by extrapolation if a technically possible manipulated variable with a thus technically possible manipulated variable amount is assumed.
- the possible manipulated variable can be set for all brakes or only for some of the brakes, such as the at least one brake.
- the possible manipulated variable amount preferably includes a maximum possible manipulated variable amount. This has the advantage that a maximum possible delay size can be determined in this way. This means that a statement can be made at any time as to how strong or efficient the corresponding additional brake still is or is at the moment.
- the possible deceleration variable of the at least one brake is thus determined by taking into account a manipulated variable that can be set during operation. This means that if the brake system is technically restricted during operation, for example because an actuator for actuating the brake is defective, it can be taken into account that a lower deceleration variable can be achieved due to the restricted manipulated variable.
- the braking system model can take into account which Delay size can be set by the possible manipulated variable, so what delay size is achievable. If a deterioration in the state of the brake is taken into account with the brake system model, then a possible, ie an achievable, deceleration variable can be determined with the present method. This possible deceleration variable of the at least one brake then serves as a basis for determining the possible deceleration variable of the at least one other brake.
- the possible manipulated variable amount preferably includes an amount of a contact pressure force, an application force, an actuator force, an actuator pressure, an actuator current and/or an actuator voltage.
- a pressing force can generally describe the strength of a pressing of a friction element against a corresponding counterpart.
- An application force can describe the strength of the application of the brake elements of a brake caliper against a brake disk.
- An actuator force can describe the force of an actuator that is designed to introduce this actuator force into the brake system.
- Such an actuator is preferably actuated fluidically, ie in particular pneumatically or hydraulically, or electromechanically.
- an actuator pressure i.e. a fluidic pressure, or an actuator current or an actuator voltage can also be considered as a manipulated variable.
- the braking system or the at least one brake and/or the at least one further brake preferably comprises a fluidically, in particular pneumatically or hydraulically, and/or an electromechanically actuated brake.
- the at least one brake and/or the at least one further brake of the braking system preferably comprises a friction brake.
- a friction brake can in particular be a drum or disc brake.
- the vehicle parameters include when determining the vehicle parameters
- Deceleration size in particular the at least one brake and / or at least one other brake, are taken into account, a vehicle weight, a tire-to-road power transfer capability, a route grade, an operating condition of a vehicle's powertrain, and/or availability of other braking systems.
- a vehicle weight, a force transmission capability between tires and road, a route gradient, an operating state of a drive train of the vehicle and/or the availability of other braking systems can also be used to determine other variables by the method.
- a vehicle weight can include, for example, an empty weight of the vehicle, an actual payload, an actual weight and/or a maximum permissible weight.
- a weight like the actual weight, can be determined by the vehicle itself, for example by determining the spring deflection in the compressed state or by appropriate force sensors. Additionally or alternatively, however, a weight can also be taken into account by means of an estimate or assumption of the corresponding weight. For example, this can be the case when a trailer is coupled to a towing vehicle and its weight can only be estimated or assumed, but not determined by measurement.
- a weight is taken into account by means of an input. For example, a person can enter the known weight of a payload of the vehicle as an input variable for the method.
- Vehicle weight may also be determined from additional drive power required to accelerate the vehicle or move it up an incline, particularly compared to operating the vehicle with a reference weight, eg curb weight.
- Braking power in particular regenerative braking power, can also be used to infer the vehicle weight.
- the braking power is preferably recorded when driving down a downhill gradient.
- the vehicle weight can also be taken from other vehicle systems, such as a suspension, stabilization or braking system (eg EBS, ABS, ESP).
- a power transmission capability between the tire and the road is primarily characterized by the coefficient of friction between the tire and the road. This can, for example, be estimated using known methods or assumed to be a constant value.
- the route gradient can be taken from digital map material, for example, or can be determined by means of measurements. For example, it can be taken into account with a gradient value or a gradient angle.
- a gradient value or a gradient angle For example, an inclination detection of the vehicle and/or acceleration sensors of the vehicle can be used for the measurement. It must be taken into account that on an incline, i.e. driving uphill, a lower limit value can also be permissible, since here the downhill force supports a braking or stopping process despite a possible deceleration variable that has been determined to be comparatively low. In contrast, a higher limit may be used on a descent, with the same specific possible amount of deceleration. In this case, the downhill force would counteract a braking or stopping process, so that the vehicle's braking system must also compensate for the downhill force.
- An operating state of the drive train can be understood, for example, as a gear ratio with which the drive train is operated. In the case of conventionally or hybrid-driven vehicles, this can be the translation with which an internal combustion engine has a braking effect on the vehicle in overrun mode. In an electrically driven vehicle, instead of an internal combustion engine, the electric drive machine acting as a generator can have a braking effect on the vehicle via the translation. In a hybrid-driven vehicle, both the internal combustion engine and an electrically driven drive machine can have a braking effect via the same gear ratio or different gear ratios. Furthermore, the operating state can include the current storage capacity of an electrical energy store.
- the resulting energy can only be stored therein if the current storage capacity of the corresponding energy store is sufficiently available. If this is not possible, the regenerative brake cannot can no longer be used if the resulting energy cannot be used in any other way. In this case, the limit value must be lowered accordingly.
- the at least one further brake is preferably provided in a further vehicle part which is connected in an articulated manner to a first vehicle part.
- the additional vehicle part can include a trailer or a semi-trailer that is coupled to the first vehicle part.
- the first vehicle part can include a towing vehicle and/or another trailer.
- both vehicle parts form an articulated vehicle that is not coupled to the trailer and towing vehicle in accordance with the design. This includes, for example, buses whose front section (first vehicle part) and rear section (further vehicle part) are connected to one another in an articulated manner.
- a force measurement in particular a coupling force measurement, preferably takes place between the first and the further vehicle part. This can be done, for example, by means of a detection means, in particular by means of a force sensor, in the coupling point, which detects the pushing and pulling forces between the two vehicle parts. The information from the force measurement can then be used to infer the actual deceleration magnitude of the further brake. If the other vehicle part is arranged behind the first vehicle part in the direction of travel and if, for example, a shearing force is measured at the coupling point during braking, the other vehicle part pushes the first vehicle part.
- this thrust is higher than a predetermined limit value, for example, or if this thrust does not correspond to the expected behavior, it can be concluded that the further brake does not reach the deceleration variable that actually corresponds to the manipulated variable actually set. If a tractive force is measured at the coupling point during braking, the other vehicle part decelerates more than the first vehicle part. If it can be concluded from the considerations so far that the brakes for which a possible deceleration variable is determined are intact, then this suggests that the at least one other brake produces a deceleration that is too high. However, this information can also be used to conclude that the brakes for which the possible amount of deceleration is determined are in a bad condition so that they do not achieve this amount of deceleration.
- the at least one additional brake is preferably provided on a trailer and/or a lifting axle of the vehicle.
- braking force distribution can also be taken into account when carrying out the method. If, for example, it is known that certain brakes, e.g. the brakes at the front of the vehicle, are subject to a manipulated variable with a higher manipulated variable, their load can be taken into account by the brake system model and/or if this is not possible, an indirect load can be calculated by knowing the vehicle deceleration or the braking effect and the known deceleration parameters.
- the brake system model preferably includes a temperature, in particular of the brake, a travel distance and/or an actuation angle as a further input variable.
- the deceleration variable of the at least one brake can be determined by the brake system model as a function of a temperature, in particular a temperature of friction elements of the at least one brake, such as brake linings and/or a brake disc. The determination of the deceleration variable can also be improved and/or a wear statement of the at least one brake can be made by taking into account an adjustment path and/or an actuation angle by the brake system model.
- Brakes that are subject to wear are actuated by translatory and/or rotary mechanisms, in particular transmission mechanisms, and/or actuators. If the wear increases, this results in larger adjustment paths and/or operating angles. These can be recorded, whereby a wear statement can be made. If the mechanisms or actuators have adjustment devices that are designed to at least partially equalize the influence of wear on the travel and/or operating angle, it is also conceivable to detect wear by detecting this adjustment, ie in particular by determine the amount by which travel and/or actuation angle has been adjusted. Considering the travel and/or the angle of actuation can also include taking into account that when the closure has progressed to such an extent that a stop is touched and/or that the travel and/or the angle of actuation assume a maximum permissible value.
- the method preferably has a step in which the determined possible deceleration variable is compared with a limit value.
- the limit value can be constant or variable, for example. If it is determined that the possible deceleration variable of the at least one brake and/or the at least one other brake does not reach the limit value, then it must be concluded that the condition, in particular the state of wear, of the at least one brake and/or the at least one other brake is no longer optimal. For example, maintenance of the brake and/or the at least one additional brake can then be provided. If a maximum deceleration variable is determined with a maximum possible manipulated variable, this maximum deceleration variable not reaching the corresponding limit value, then this represents a safety-critical problem, which u.ll. also requires countermeasures while driving. For example, the vehicle can be forced to stop.
- the method has a step in which a possible vehicle deceleration is determined from the determined possible deceleration variable. Furthermore, this possible vehicle deceleration can be compared with a corresponding limit value. This can, for example, be constant or variable. The above considerations also apply analogously here. If, in particular, it is determined that the maximum possible vehicle deceleration falls below a limit value, then there is a safety-critical problem which, under certain circumstances, also requires countermeasures to be taken while driving. For example, the vehicle can be forced to stop. Depending on the result of the evaluation of the possible deceleration variable and/or the possible vehicle deceleration, a warning can also be issued to the driver.
- the limit value and/or the possible vehicle deceleration are/is determined depending on a vehicle weight, a force transmission capability between tires and road, a road gradient, an operating state of a drive train of the vehicle and/or the availability of other braking systems.
- the braking system model is preferably updated on the basis of a history of braking interventions of the at least one brake.
- braking interventions of the at least one brake that have already been carried out i.e. values for manipulated variables actually set and the resulting braking effect
- these are comparatively recent braking interventions in order to base the update on the current state of the at least one brake as far as possible.
- the brake system model preferably has a characteristic map and/or a physical model of the at least one brake.
- the brake system model works with a proportionality factor, for example a brake parameter, which involves a proportional conversion of the manipulated variable into Delay size allowed.
- the proportionality factor can be applied as a constant value, stored in a characteristic map or calculated using a physical model.
- the proportionality factor can be configured as a function of the following input variables, as described above:
- Delay variable proportionality factor * manipulated variable
- the proportionality factor can contain other parameters, such as a transmission ratio or an efficiency between the manipulated variable and the deceleration variable.
- an average friction radius can also be taken into account or already included in the transmission ratio.
- a device for carrying out the method described above comprising
- Such a device can be designed as a brake control device, for example, or provide part of the functionality of a brake control device. However, it can also be provided that the device represents a higher-level, independent functional unit or one that is integrated into another device for monitoring the brakes.
- the data processing unit preferably includes electronic means for data processing.
- a vehicle for carrying out the method described above, the vehicle being designed to carry out the method described above and/or having a device as described above, the vehicle preferably being a commercial vehicle, truck, trailer, bus and /or is designed as a combination of towing vehicle and trailer, and/or wherein the vehicle is preferably designed as a purely electrically, hybrid or conventionally powered vehicle.
- a computer program product is provided with program code which is configured in such a way that when it is executed on a data processing unit, in particular an above-mentioned data processing unit, it causes the latter to carry out the method described above. It is thus advantageously possible to correspondingly enable existing devices and/or vehicles with data processing units, so that they can then carry out the method described above.
- a storage medium with a computer program product as described above is provided.
- a corresponding storage medium includes, for example, a CD-ROM, a memory stick, a memory card or else cloud storage from which the computer program product can be downloaded.

- the brake 1 is designed here as a friction brake, which has brake pads 2 and a brake disc 3 that can be rotated about an axis A.
- the brake pads 2 are provided in a brake caliper 4 which encompasses the brake disc 3 on both sides.
- the brake pads 2 and the brake disc 3 function as friction members that can be rubbed into contact with each other to generate a deceleration quantity.
- An actuator 5 is provided to actuate the brake 1 .
- This has an actuating element 6, which can be moved translationally in the drawing to the left.
- a transmission mechanism 7 is provided between the actuator 5 and the brake 1, which has an actuating lever 8 which is designed to be pivotable in the plane of the drawing.
- the transmission mechanism 7 is on the one hand connected to the actuator 5, so that a displacement of the actuating element 6 in the Translation mechanism 7 is introduced, whereby the operating lever 8 is pivoted counterclockwise.
- the transmission mechanism 7 is in contact with the brake 1 to introduce a displacement or force resulting from the displacement of the operating member 6 into the brake 1 to contact the brake pads 2 with the brake disc 3 so as to increase the deceleration amount of the generate brake 1.
- the deceleration variable can be a braking torque that results from an application force, ie a force with which the brake pads 2 are pressed against the brake disk 3, and a mean friction radius.
- a transmission ratio is given by the transmission mechanism 7, which describes the transmission of an actuator force or the displacement of the actuating element 6 resulting therefrom into the application force.
- a brake system model can therefore be provided that takes these circumstances into account.
- a proportionality factor is provided, which maps a conversion of the manipulated variable into the delay variable. If an efficiency is known, for example of the entire arrangement shown or parts thereof, a possible braking force can be calculated by entering a possible manipulated variable into the braking system model:
- R m mean friction radius
- the actuator 5 is kept general here.
- the actuator 5 is designed as a fluidically actuated, in particular as a pneumatically or hydraulically actuated, actuator.
- the actuator 5 is actuated electrically, ie a brake 1 actuated in this way can be attributed to an electromechanical brake system.
- the actuator 5 can have a cylinder with a piston in order to displace the actuating element 6 by means of pressure.
- the actuator 5 can have a linear motor or a rotary electric motor, in which case its rotational movement is then preferably converted into a translatory movement by means of a corresponding mechanism in order to displace the actuating element 6 .
- the transmission mechanism 7 can be omitted. It is therefore also possible that the actuator 5 or its actuating element 6 acts directly, i.e. without transmission, on the brake 1 and causes the friction elements 2, 3 to be pressed against one another there.
- the brake 1 can also be based on another technical or physical principle.
- a drum brake or a friction brake that comes into contact with a friction element that is stationary relative to the vehicle such as in the case of a magnetic rail brake, is conceivable.
- the brake 1 described above can act as the at least one brake whose deceleration variable can be determined based on a manipulated variable, for example using a brake system model.
- the brake 1 can also act as the at least one other brake in the sense of this application, the deceleration value of which can be determined as with the at least one brake, so that this deceleration value must be indirectly inferred by also considering the braking effect on the vehicle.
- FIG. 2 shows parameters influencing the braking process of a vehicle in a basic representation.
- a vehicle 10 is shown, which is moving on a downhill stretch which has the gradient angle 12 . This can be determined, for example, by inclination measurement or digital map material. In addition to an angle of inclination 12, other suitable variables can also be used, such as an indication of an incline.
- the vehicle 10 has a drive train 11 and brakes 1 .
- the brakes 1 can be designed in accordance with the brakes from FIG.
- the drive train 11, which is only shown schematically here, can be a conventional, hybrid or electric drive train.
- the drive train 11 influences the braking by electrical energy stores that cannot absorb any more, so that regenerative braking can no longer take place.
- a slope force 13 is also shown. This depends on the gradient angle 12 and the weight of the vehicle 10, which can be defined or determined as described above.
- the vehicle deceleration 14 is directed counter to the direction of travel down the slope. This can be determined by knowing the possible deceleration variable of the brake 1 or the brakes 1 and vehicle parameters, such as a vehicle weight.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic plan view of a vehicle.
- the vehicle 10 comprises a towing vehicle 20 and a trailer 21 which are connected to one another at a coupling point 22 so that the trailer 21 can be pulled by the towing vehicle 20 in the direction of travel 19 .
- the towing vehicle 20 and the trailer 21 each have at least one brake (not shown).
- the towing vehicle 20 forms a first vehicle part which is articulated to another vehicle part, the trailer 21 .
- the vehicle parts shown here are detachably connected. However, it is also conceivable that this connection is not detachable, ie that both vehicle parts do not function as a towing vehicle 20 and a trailer 21, but rather form an articulated vehicle, such as an articulated bus.
- the coupling point 22 is designed to determine a coupling force 23 between the vehicle parts, for example by means of a coupling force detection means, in particular by means of a coupling force sensor. In particular, a statement can be made here about the braking effect of the vehicle parts.
- the deceleration variable of the at least one brake can only be determined in one part of the vehicle, i.e. only in the towing vehicle 20 or in the trailer 21, the deceleration variable of the at least one brake of the vehicle part can be inferred from the coupling force 23, which is not determined by the braking system model can be detected by the actual braking effect during braking as described above is determined and the deceleration variable of the at least one brake of this vehicle part is inferred from the coupling force 23 with a known manipulated variable or known manipulated variable amount.
