Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of commercial vehicle driving control, and particularly relates to a commercial vehicle acceleration process dynamic response consistency control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of automobile technology and the continuous enrichment of vehicle models, commercial vehicle users pay more and more attention to vehicle motion quality. Due to the large load of commercial vehicles and the significant difference between empty load and full load, and the influence of factors such as slope and wind resistance during driving, the acceleration response is often inconsistent during acceleration. For example, the vehicle responds agilely when lightly loaded, but the response is obviously lagged when heavily loaded or climbing. This inconsistency of acceleration dynamic response not only affects the driving experience, but also may lead to misoperation, thereby endangering driving safety.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN113147734B, a closed-loop control method based on driver's longitudinal acceleration intention, acquires the vehicle longitudinal speed, the accelerator pedal opening degree and the actual longitudinal acceleration in real time, combines the stable vehicle speed corresponding pedal opening degree and multi-time domain driving intention, uses Pedal Map to construct the nonlinear mapping of the accelerator pedal and acceleration demand, and realizes the closed-loop control of the vehicle longitudinal motion through PID control. The main innovation of this method is to design the nonlinear mapping relationship between the accelerator pedal and the acceleration demand according to the driver's acceleration intention, and it does not consider the influence of the load multiple level change, slope and wind resistance on the dynamic response of the acceleration process.
