[0083] The vehicle's adhesion coefficient plays a key role in implementing longitudinal anti-skid control. In related technologies, the adhesion coefficient is typically estimated based on the ratio of longitudinal driving force to vertical load, and anti-skid control is implemented based on the estimated adhesion coefficient.

[0084] However, the method of estimating the adhesion coefficient directly based on the ratio of longitudinal driving force and vertical load has the problem that the estimated adhesion coefficient does not match the actual situation of the vehicle, which in turn leads to inaccurate anti-skid control of the vehicle and affects the safety of passengers.

This method can determine a vehicle's first adhesion coefficient based on tire information (tire longitudinal force, tire lateral force, and tire vertical load) for each tire; determine a gain factor based on the first adhesion coefficient and the tire information for each tire; and determine a second adhesion coefficient based on the gain factor and the vehicle's acceleration. After determining the first and second adhesion coefficients, the vehicle fuses the first and second adhesion coefficients to determine the vehicle's target adhesion coefficient. This method improves the accuracy of adhesion coefficient determination, thereby enhancing the match between the adhesion coefficient and the vehicle's actual conditions and, in turn, improving the vehicle's anti-skid control.

[0090] The vehicle 10 determines a first adhesion coefficient of the vehicle 10 based on tire information of the left front tire 101 , tire information of the right front tire 102 , tire information of the left rear tire 103 , and tire information of the right rear tire 104 .

[0127] In this embodiment, for any tire, the vehicle can determine the adhesion coefficient of the tire based on the tire information of the tire.

[0128] For example, taking a vehicle including four tires (a left front tire, a right front tire, a left rear tire, and a right rear tire), the vehicle can determine the adhesion coefficient of the tire based on the tire information of the tire based on the following formula.

[0135] In one implementation, the vehicle determines that the stability control system is activated when it is recognized that a control flag of the anti-lock braking system of one tire (wheel) is set and the braking torque of the tire (wheel) is greater than zero.

[0136] In one implementation, the vehicle determines that the stability control system is activated when it is recognized that there is a tire (wheel) corresponding to the tire (wheel) identifier in the lift torque request and the slip ratio of the tire (wheel) is greater than zero.

[0138] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the vehicle stability control system is activated, the vehicle calculates a first adhesion coefficient according to the adhesion coefficient of each tire, the tire longitudinal force and the tire lateral force corresponding to each tire.

[0139] For example, taking a vehicle having four tires (a left front tire, a right front tire, a left rear tire, and a right rear tire), the vehicle can calculate a first adhesion coefficient based on the following formula according to the adhesion coefficient of each tire, the tire longitudinal force, and the tire lateral force corresponding to each tire.

[0147] Specifically, if the turning state is a left turning state, the maximum value of the adhesion coefficient of the right front tire and the adhesion coefficient of the right rear tire is determined as the first adhesion coefficient.

[0148] For example, if a vehicle includes four tires (a left front tire, a right front tire, a left rear tire, and a right rear tire), the vehicle can determine the maximum of the adhesion coefficients of the right front tire and the right rear tire as the first adhesion coefficient based on the following formula.

[0149] MueUtilFromTqMdl=max(MueUtilWhl(2),MueUtilWhl(4))

[0151] If the turning state is a right turning state or a straight driving state, the maximum value of the adhesion coefficient of the left front tire and the adhesion coefficient of the left rear tire is determined as the first adhesion coefficient.

[0152] For example, if a vehicle includes four tires (a left front tire, a right front tire, a left rear tire, and a right rear tire), the vehicle can determine the maximum of the adhesion coefficients of the right front tire and the right rear tire as the first adhesion coefficient based on the following formula.

[0153] MueUtilFromTqMdl=max(MueUtilWhl(1),MueUtilWhl(3))

[0155] Beneficial effects of this embodiment: In this embodiment, when the vehicle determines that the stability control system is activated, the vehicle can calculate a first adhesion coefficient based on the adhesion coefficient of each tire, the tire longitudinal force, and the tire lateral force corresponding to each tire. When the vehicle determines that the stability control system is not activated, the vehicle can determine the vehicle's turning state and determine the first adhesion coefficient based on the turning state and the adhesion coefficient of each tire. By identifying whether the vehicle's stability control system is activated, an appropriate method is used to determine the first adhesion coefficient, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the first adhesion coefficient and, in turn, improving the accuracy of determining the vehicle's target adhesion coefficient based on the first adhesion coefficient.
