[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle driving control method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of vehicle driving control. This method can be executed by a vehicle driving control device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and the vehicle driving control device can be configured in a vehicle. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0028] S101. Obtain the state information of the vehicle, and determine the tire state of the vehicle according to the state information.

[0029] In this embodiment, the status information may be information that can reflect the current status of the vehicle during vehicle driving. For example, information about the vehicle's tires, information for controlling the vehicle during vehicle driving, and the like. The tire status may be normal or flat, which is used to indicate whether the vehicle's tire is flat.

[0030] Specifically, the status information of the vehicle is collected in real time. Different types of status information can be collected in different ways. For example, it can be directly collected through hardware such as sensors, or the corresponding information can be determined by controlling the acquisition signal through the vehicle's software, and so on. Analyze the tire status of each tire of the vehicle according to the status information. For example, when the status information includes tire pressure, if the tire pressure is low or the change in tire pressure is large, it is determined that the tire status of the vehicle is flat.

[0031] S102. When there is a tire with a flat status, obtain the tire information and speed information corresponding to the flat tire.

[0032] In this embodiment, the tire information may be the force condition, force magnitude, tire distance, etc. of the tire. The speed information may be speed information such as the vehicle's acceleration, real-time speed, average speed, etc.

[0033] After determining the tire status of each tire of the vehicle, determine whether there is a tire with a flat status. When there is a flat tire, determine the tire information corresponding to the flat tire, which may be the corresponding information of the flat tire or the corresponding information of other tires that work together with the flat tire. The speed information can be collected through sensors or determined according to the vehicle's vehicle control unit ECU.

[0034] S103. Determine the first control information according to the tire information.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first control information can be specifically understood as information for controlling the vehicle to drive safely according to the tire, and the first control information is related to the tire. Since the left and right vehicle heights are unbalanced after the vehicle's tire is flat and the vehicle cannot maintain balance, if the vehicle continues to drive, the service life of the tire will be damaged. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the first control information is determined through the tire information so as to control the vehicle through the first control information and avoid damage to the tire. Analyze the force on the tire through the tire information, and combine the mechanical principle and formula to determine the force that needs to be applied to the vehicle. The force may include the magnitude, direction, etc. of the force. The first control information is generated according to the force that needs to be applied to the vehicle.

[0036] S104. Determine the second control information according to the speed information.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second control information is information for controlling the safe driving of the vehicle according to the speed, and the second control information is related to the speed of the vehicle. After the tire of the vehicle leaks air, to ensure the driving safety of the vehicle, therefore, it is necessary to control the vehicle according to the speed. Determine whether the current speed of the vehicle is within the safe driving range according to the speed information. If it is not within the safe driving range, control the vehicle to decelerate or stop accelerating, so that the vehicle maintains a lower speed and ensures the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0038] It should be noted that there is no strict order in the execution of S103 and S104. S103 can be executed first, S104 can be executed first, or they can be executed simultaneously. Figure 1 Taking the example of executing S103 first and then S104.

[0039] S105. Control the driving of the vehicle according to the first control information and the second control information.

[0040] Apply a certain force to the vehicle according to the first control information, and control the vehicle to drive under the action of this force to avoid tire damage. Control the driving speed of the vehicle according to the second control information to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle. Control the vehicle from two aspects of the tire and the speed, ensure that the vehicle can still drive safely when the tire leaks air, protect the tire of the vehicle at the same time, avoid tire damage, and extend the service life of the tire. Even if a tire leaks air during the driving of the vehicle, it can drive safely to the repair station without having to replace or repair the tire on the road by itself.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle driving control method. By obtaining the state information of the vehicle and determining the tire state of the vehicle according to the state information; when there is a tire state of air leakage, obtain the tire information and speed information corresponding to the leaking tire; determine the first control information according to the tire information; determine the second control information according to the speed information; control the vehicle according to the first control information and the second control information, which solves the problems of high cost and inconvenient operation caused by replacing the spare tire or repairing the tire when the tire leaks air during the vehicle driving process. Determine whether the tire leaks air through the state information of the vehicle. After the tire leaks air, obtain the corresponding tire information and speed information, generate the first control information according to the tire information, generate the second control information according to the speed information, and consider both the tire and the speed when controlling the vehicle according to the first control information and the second control information, so that the vehicle can still drive safely when the tire leaks air, avoid replacing or repairing the tire on the road, will not increase the cost of the vehicle, and does not require the driver to master the method of replacing or repairing the tire, which is convenient for users; does not require the use of special tires, reducing costs.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] Figure 2The flowchart of a vehicle driving control method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is refined on the basis of the above embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0044] S201. Obtain the status information of the vehicle.

[0045] Optionally, the status information includes the tire pressure change amount and the tire side vehicle height.

[0046] In this embodiment, the tire pressure change amount can be specifically understood as the change amount of the air pressure inside the tire; the tire side vehicle height can be specifically understood as the vehicle height on the side where the tire is located. The tire side vehicle height can be obtained by dividing the vehicle into left and right sides, and the tire side vehicle heights corresponding to the tires on the same side are the same. Or the vehicle can be divided into front, rear, left, and right sides. Taking a vehicle with four tires as an example, the vehicle and the tires are divided into left front, left rear, right front, and right rear, and each tire corresponds to a tire side vehicle height.

[0047] Detect the tire pressure through a tire pressure detection device or sensor, and determine the tire pressure change amount according to the tire pressures at different times. Detect the tire side vehicle height by installing sensors on the vehicle. For the tire side vehicle height on one side, one or more sensors can be used for detection. When the same tire side vehicle height is collected by multiple sensors, the tire side vehicle height can be determined by calculating the average value, median, etc.

[0048] For each tire of the vehicle, determine the tire status respectively through S202 - S205.

[0049] S202. Determine the tire pressure change amount and the tire side vehicle height corresponding to each tire of the vehicle.

[0050] Specifically, the tire pressure change amount and the tire side vehicle height in the status information are stored according to the corresponding relationship with each tire. After obtaining the status information, determine the tire pressure change amount and the tire side vehicle height corresponding to each tire according to the corresponding relationship between each data and the tire.

[0051] S203. Determine the vehicle height change amount according to the tire side vehicle height in combination with the normal vehicle height.

[0052] In this embodiment, the normal vehicle height can be specifically understood as the normal height of the vehicle, that is, the height of the vehicle when the tires are not leaking air. Since the vehicle models of different vehicles may be different, the normal vehicle height is determined according to the vehicle, and the vehicle heights at different positions of the vehicle may also be different. Therefore, the normal vehicle height can be set correspondingly according to different positions. For example, the normal vehicle heights of the left front and left rear of the vehicle can be different, and since most vehicles are symmetric on the left and right sides, the normal vehicle heights corresponding to the left front and right front of the vehicle can be the same.

[0053] Preset the normal vehicle height corresponding to different tires, calculate the difference between the side vehicle height of the tire and its corresponding normal vehicle height, and use the difference as the vehicle height change amount.

[0054] S204. When the tire pressure change amount is greater than the preset tire pressure change amount threshold and the vehicle height change amount is greater than the preset vehicle height change amount threshold, determine that the tire state of the tire is a leak.

[0055] In this embodiment, the preset tire pressure change amount threshold can be specifically understood as the tire pressure boundary value used to determine whether the tire pressure change amount meets the requirements. For example, the preset tire pressure change amount threshold is 0.1 Bar / min; the vehicle height change amount threshold can be specifically understood as the height boundary value used to determine whether the vehicle height change meets the requirements. For example, the preset vehicle height change amount threshold is 10 mm.

[0056] Specifically, preset the preset tire pressure change amount threshold and the preset vehicle height change amount threshold, which can be determined according to different vehicles. Compare the size of the tire pressure change amount with the preset tire pressure change amount threshold, and at the same time compare the size of the vehicle height change amount with the vehicle height change amount threshold. When the tire pressure change amount is greater than the preset tire pressure change amount threshold and the vehicle height change amount is greater than the preset vehicle height change amount threshold, at this time, determine that the tire state of this tire is a leak.

[0057] When the tire pressure change amount is greater than the preset tire pressure change amount threshold, but the vehicle height change amount is not greater than the preset vehicle height change amount threshold, or the vehicle height change amount is greater than the preset vehicle height change amount threshold, but the tire pressure change amount is not greater than the preset tire pressure change amount threshold, at this time, it is determined that it is caused by other reasons and not a tire leak.

[0058] When a tire leak is detected, an alarm message can also be generated for alarm, and the driver can be prompted of the tire leak by means of voice broadcast, displaying text, pictures, etc. on the instrument panel or the center console.

[0059] S205. When there is a tire with a leak state, obtain the tire information and speed information corresponding to the leaking tire.

[0060] Optionally, the tire information includes the normal vertical force of the leaking tire, the normal vertical force of the target tire in the horizontal direction corresponding to the leaking tire, the vertical force change amount, and the vehicle wheelbase.

[0061] In this embodiment, the target tire can be specifically understood as the tire that works together with the leaking tire in the vehicle to ensure the horizontal balance of the vehicle. For example, if the leaking tire is the right rear wheel, the target tire is the left rear wheel. The vertical force change amount can be specifically understood as the change amount of the tire vertical force after the active stabilizer bar system applies a roll moment.

[0062] After determining the flat tire, according to the position of the flat tire, taking the center of the vehicle as the origin and the direction of the vehicle head as the longitudinal axis, a rectangular coordinate system is established to determine the tire in the same horizontal direction as the flat tire as the target tire.

[0063] The change amount of the vertical force and the vehicle track are determined in advance. The vehicle track is correspondingly determined after the vehicle is produced. The vehicle track is the distance between two tires in the horizontal direction, for example, the distance between the left front tire and the right front tire. The change amount of the vertical force can be determined according to the change amount of the vertical vector that the vehicle tires and rims can bear. Calculate the difference obtained by subtracting the bearable change amount from the vertical force borne by the vehicle tires under normal conditions, and determine this difference as the change amount of the vertical force.

[0064] As an optional embodiment of this embodiment, this optional embodiment further optimizes obtaining the tire information corresponding to the flat tire as follows:

[0065] A1. For the flat tire and the target tire, respectively obtain the historical tire side vehicle height corresponding to each acquisition moment within a preset time range.

[0066] For the flat tire and the target tire, the normal vertical force of the flat tire and the normal vertical force of the target tire in the tire information are determined in the manner of A1 - A4.

[0067] In this embodiment, the preset time range can be specifically understood as a preset time range, for example, 30 minutes, 20 minutes, etc. The historical tire side vehicle height can be specifically understood as the historical data of the tire side vehicle height, which is collected and stored by sensors, and its acquisition frequency can be the same as or different from the frequency obtained during use.

[0068] The preset time range is divided at a certain time interval to obtain different acquisition moments. Starting from the tire flat time, the end point is determined forward according to the preset time range, and the historical tire side vehicle height at each acquisition moment between the start point and the end point is determined. For example, the preset time range is 20 minutes, the acquisition interval is 1 minute, and the tire flat time is 9:35 on May 1, 2022, then the end point is 9:15 on May 1, 2022, and the historical tire side vehicle height is collected every 1 minute between 9:15 - 9:35. To ensure data accuracy, there is no tire flat situation within the preset time range.

[0069] A2. Determine the historical vehicle height change amount according to each historical tire side vehicle height.

[0070] In this embodiment, the historical vehicle height change can be specifically understood as the change in the vehicle height on the side of the tire. For each historical vehicle height on the side of the tire, calculate the difference between it and the corresponding normal vehicle height to obtain the corresponding historical vehicle height change. Alternatively, for each historical vehicle height on the side of the tire, calculate the difference between it and the historical vehicle height on the side of the tire at the previous moment as the historical vehicle height change.

[0071] A3. Determine the vertical force based on each historical vehicle height change in combination with the stiffness curve of the vehicle suspension system.

[0072] In this embodiment, the stiffness curve of the vehicle suspension system is determined according to the vehicle. That is, after the vehicle is determined, the stiffness curve of the vehicle suspension system is correspondingly determined. The abscissa of the stiffness curve is the distance (i.e., the historical vehicle height change in this application), and the ordinate is the force (i.e., the vertical force in this application).

[0073] For each historical vehicle height change, use it as the abscissa and determine the corresponding ordinate in the stiffness curve of the vehicle suspension system. Take the ordinate as the vertical force.

[0074] Preferably, the unit of the abscissa of the stiffness curve is millimeter (mm), and the unit of the ordinate is Newton (N).

[0075] A4. Determine the corresponding normal vertical force based on each vertical force.

[0076] Perform operations on each vertical force. For example, calculate the average value, maximum value, minimum value, median, weighted sum, etc. to determine the normal vertical force corresponding to the tire.

[0077] S206. Calculate the sum of the normal vertical force of the target tire and the vertical force change to obtain the first vertical force.

[0078] S207. Calculate the difference between the normal vertical force of the flat tire and the vertical force change to obtain the second vertical force.

[0079] S208. Calculate the difference between the first vertical force and the second vertical force.

[0080] S209. Determine the product of the difference and the vehicle track width, and take half of the product as the vehicle roll moment.

[0081] In this embodiment, the vehicle roll moment is the moment applied to the vehicle to suppress vehicle roll. Calculate the product of the sum value and the vehicle track width, and divide the product by 2 to obtain the vehicle roll moment.

[0082] It should be noted that both the first vertical force and the second vertical force are intermediate values involved in the calculation process. Among them, the first vertical force is the vertical force borne by the target tire after applying the vehicle roll moment, and the second vertical force is the vertical force borne by the flat tire after applying the vehicle roll moment.

[0083] Exemplarily, steps S206 - S209 can be represented by the following formula:

[0084]

[0085] Where M1 is the vehicle roll moment, Fz l is the normal vertical force of the target tire, Fz r is the normal vertical force of the flat tire, △Fz is the change in vertical force, and B is the vehicle track width.

[0086] S210. Generate first control information based on the vehicle roll moment.

[0087] Generating first control information based on the vehicle roll moment, the first control information can be used to indicate how to control the vehicle.

[0088] S211. Control the vehicle's active stabilizer bar system according to the first control information, so that the active stabilizer bar system controls the vehicle to travel according to the first control information.

[0089] After a tire of the vehicle goes flat, the left and right vehicle heights are unbalanced. To maintain balance and protect the flat tire and the rim on the flat side, the active stabilizer bar system is controlled by the first control information to apply a vehicle roll moment around the roll center, so that the left and right vehicle heights of the vehicle are balanced, ensuring that the flat tire bears a small vertical force that will not cause further damage to the rim and the tire - rim.

[0090] Exemplarily, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of vertical balance in the flat - tire state provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 which is a rear view. Taking the right rear tire going flat as an example, the normal vertical force of the right rear tire 31 is Fz r , and the left rear tire 32 is used as the target tire. The normal vertical force of the left rear tire 32 is Fz l . After determining the vehicle roll moment M1, a roll moment is applied around the roll center. At this time, the vertical force borne by the right rear tire 31 is Fz r -ΔFz, and the vertical force borne by the left rear tire 32 is Fz l +ΔFz.

[0091] Optionally, the speed information includes vehicle acceleration and vehicle speed.

[0092] S212. When the vehicle acceleration is greater than a preset acceleration threshold or the vehicle speed is greater than a preset speed threshold, it is determined that the vehicle meets the power control condition.

[0093] In this embodiment, the preset acceleration threshold can be specifically understood as the threshold for judging whether the acceleration of the vehicle is safe. The preset speed threshold can be specifically understood as the threshold for judging whether the driving speed of the vehicle is safe. The power control condition can be specifically understood as the condition for judging whether the vehicle needs power control.

[0094] Specifically, preset the preset acceleration threshold and the preset speed threshold to ensure the safety of the vehicle. Compare the magnitude of the vehicle acceleration with the preset acceleration threshold, and at the same time compare the magnitude of the vehicle speed with the preset speed threshold. If the vehicle acceleration is greater than the preset acceleration threshold, or the vehicle speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, it is determined that the vehicle meets the power control condition.

[0095] S213. Generate second control information according to the preset power output condition.

[0096] In this embodiment, the power output condition can be specifically understood as the condition indicating how the vehicle outputs power. For example, the power output condition is to control the vehicle to have no power output, control the vehicle speed not to exceed the preset speed threshold, and the vehicle acceleration not to exceed the preset acceleration threshold. Preset the power output condition, and the power output condition can be set according to the actual vehicle. Generate second control information according to the power output condition.

[0097] S214. Control the power actuator of the vehicle according to the second control information, so that the power actuator controls the vehicle to travel according to the second control information.

[0098] Control the power actuator according to the second control information to achieve power output control. The power actuator controls the vehicle speed and acceleration according to the second control information, avoiding sudden acceleration operations of the vehicle, and at the same time maintaining the vehicle traveling at a relatively low speed to ensure the safety of the vehicle. For example, when it is detected that the vehicle speed exceeds the preset speed threshold or the vehicle acceleration exceeds the preset acceleration threshold, the power actuator controls mechanisms such as the throttle pedal to prevent the vehicle from accelerating, reduce the vehicle speed to the safe range, and maintain traveling within the safe driving speed range.

[0099] S215. Obtain the yaw angular velocity of the vehicle.

[0100] The yaw angular velocity can be collected by sensors. One or more sensors can be installed on the vehicle to collect the yaw angular velocity. If the number of sensors is multiple, perform mathematical operations on the multiple yaw angular velocities to obtain the final yaw angular velocity. The operation methods can be calculating the average value, maximum value, minimum value, weighted summation, etc.

[0101] S216. When the yaw angular velocity meets the vehicle yaw abnormality condition, determine the braking force and the tires to be controlled.

[0102] In this embodiment, the vehicle yaw abnormal condition may be that the yaw rate of the vehicle is greater than a certain threshold; the tire to be controlled can be specifically understood as the tire with control requirements.

[0103] When the yaw rate satisfies the vehicle yaw abnormal condition, according to the position of the flat tire, taking the vehicle center as the origin and the vehicle head direction as the longitudinal axis, a rectangular coordinate system is established, and the tire in the same vertical direction as it is determined as the tire to be controlled. When the number of vehicle tires is greater than 4, there are at least two tires in the vertical direction, and the tire to be controlled can be any one of them. For example, if the right rear tire is flat, the tire to be controlled is the right front tire.

[0104] Exemplarily, taking the threshold as 1.3 times the yaw rate ws of a normal vehicle as an example, when the yaw rate is greater than 1.3 times the yaw rate of a normal vehicle, it is determined that the vehicle yaw is abnormal. The yaw rate of a normal vehicle is calculated based on a vehicle model of the steering wheel angle.

[0105] The limit values of the longitudinal forces Fxl and Fxr that can be provided by the tires of a normal vehicle are determined by multiplying the vertical forces Fzl and Fzr by the road surface friction coefficient. When a tire is flat, taking the flat tire of the right rear side as an example, the vertical force changes to (Fzr - △Fz), and the longitudinal force that can be provided changes to a significant reduction in Fxr, while the left rear tire can normally provide the longitudinal force. At this time, it is equivalent to the vehicle driving on a split road surface, that is, one side is a normal road surface and the other side is an ice surface, and the vehicle is prone to yaw. To suppress yaw, a certain braking force Fx2 needs to be applied to the right front tire to generate a yaw suppression moment. The yaw moment M2 is shown in the following formula. It should be noted that this formula is only for principle explanation.

[0106]

[0107] Among them, M2 is the moment applied by the electronic braking device to suppress the vehicle yaw, Fx l is the longitudinal force of the left rear tire under normal vehicle conditions, Fx r is the longitudinal force of the right rear tire under normal vehicle conditions, △Fx is the change in the longitudinal force caused by the change in the vertical force, Fx 2 The electronic braking is the braking force applied to the tire to be controlled to suppress the vehicle yaw.

[0108] S217. Control the electronic braking actuator of the vehicle according to the braking force, so that the electronic braking actuator controls the tire to be controlled.

[0109] When the yaw rate of the vehicle satisfies the vehicle yaw abnormal condition, at this time, the vehicle has a yaw situation. To maintain the yaw balance of the vehicle, a braking force Fx is applied to the tire to be controlled of the vehicle through the electronic braking actuator 2 to make the vehicle generate a yaw suppression moment M2.
