[0002] The longer the car is used, the worse the technical parameters will be. The quality of braking performance directly affects the main factor of vehicle safety. According to GB7258-2017: When there is doubt about the braking performance of a vehicle after bench testing, the road test specified in the standard can be used for re-inspection, and the test results of the full-load road test shall prevail. The road test braking test parameters include average braking deceleration, braking coordination time, braking stability and braking distance.

[0003] At present, the main instruments for intelligent road detection methods are the five-wheel instrument test method and the portable brake performance tester test method. The five-wheel instrument displays the running speed, braking time, braking distance and other parameters of the test vehicle in real time by adding "five wheels" to the side or tail of the car. However, this equipment is only used for vehicles with lower driving speeds and is affected by many factors during the test process. The portable brake performance tester uses the brake pedal contact switch as the starting signal and the acceleration sensor as the detection element. By processing the collected signals, parameters such as braking coordination time, initial braking speed, braking distance and average braking deceleration are obtained. However, complex equipment needs to be installed before the test, and the braking results are susceptible to errors caused by installation errors and the impact of vibration on the equipment during braking.

[0004] At present, there is no automobile road test braking performance testing equipment that is easy to install and has accurate and efficient testing. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle road test braking performance detection device and method based on two-dimensional laser radar. The device has a unique design concept, is easy to install, and has strong repeatability.

[0008] The laser scanning device consists of two front and rear two-dimensional laser radars 2 and 9 of the same model and two front and rear pillars 4 and 7. The front and rear pillars 4 and 7 are installed on the right side of the detection area. With the vehicle's forward direction as the positive direction, the front-to-back distance between the center lines of the two pillars is m, and the range of m is 5 meters to 10 meters; the heights of the front and rear pillars 4 and 7 are l1 and l2 respectively, the range of l1 is 2 meters to 2.5 meters, and the range of l2 is 0.5 meters to 1 meter; the front and rear two-dimensional laser radars are respectively installed on the upper part of the pillars.

[0009] The front and rear two-dimensional laser radars 2 and 9 are fixedly mounted on the front pillar 4 and the rear pillar 7 respectively; the front two-dimensional laser radar 2 is fixed on the rocker arm 5 through the front radar fixing frame 3; the rear two-dimensional laser radar 9 is fixed on the L-shaped steel plate 6 through the rear radar fixing frame 10.

[0010] The laser emission points of the lasers 2 and 9 of the front and rear two-dimensional laser radars are A and B respectively. The distance between the laser emission point A and the ground is h1, h1=l1-0.5 (meters), and the distance between the laser emission point B and the ground is h2, h2=l2-0.3 (meters); the scanning plane of the front two-dimensional laser radar 2 forms an angle θ with the xoy plane (θ ranges from 20 degrees to 30 degrees), and the scanning plane of the rear two-dimensional laser radar 9 is parallel to the xoy plane; wherein, the xoy plane is a horizontal plane.

[0011] The front two-dimensional laser radar 2 establishes a coordinate system with the laser emission point A as the origin, the vehicle travel direction as the x-axis, the laser scanning direction as the y-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the ground as the z-axis; the rear two-dimensional laser radar 9 establishes a coordinate system with the laser emission point B as the origin, the vehicle travel direction as the u-axis, the laser irradiation direction as the v-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the ground as the w-axis.

[0012] The above detection device is used to detect the braking performance of the automobile road test:

[0013] When the vehicle starts to brake, the signal acquisition and control system 1 controls the front and rear two-dimensional laser radars 2 and 9 to start collecting information; the rear two-dimensional laser radar 9 scans the car tire during the vehicle braking process, obtains the effective data of the tire profile curve by using the gradient change law, and then fits the vehicle tire profile curve, fits the curve by using the nonlinear least squares method, and obtains the common tangent line and common tangent point of the fitting curve, iteratively calculates the matching degree of the two segments of data based on the common tangent point, and when the matching degree reaches the corresponding accuracy, the intersection of the symmetry axis of the two segments of the curve and the common tangent line is determined as the feature point; the front two-dimensional laser radar 2 scans the car bumper during the vehicle braking process, obtains the effective data segment by using the characteristics of the sudden change of the boundary point data, and fits the curve by using the nonlinear least squares method, and then obtains the centroid coordinates of the fitting curve, and obtains the braking distance and average braking deceleration of the car by tracking the centroid coordinate information;

[0014] Braking distance S measurement method:

[0015] When the vehicle starts braking, the signal acquisition and control system 1 controls the front two-dimensional laser radar 2 to start collecting data. The angle between the front two-dimensional laser radar 2 and the horizontal plane is θ. The point cloud information is obtained by scanning the car bumper. According to the characteristics of the sudden change of the boundary point data, the effective data is obtained. The curve is fitted using the nonlinear least squares method to obtain the centroid coordinates of the curve; suppose the reading of a data point N of the front two-dimensional laser radar is (ρ, α, θ), ρ is the distance value from the point to the laser emission center point A on the scanning plane, α is the angle value of the scanning laser beam passing through the measured point, and θ is the angle between the scanning plane of the front two-dimensional laser radar 2 and the horizontal plane. Then the spatial coordinates of the data point are

[0018] Braking stability detection method:

[0019] When the vehicle starts to brake, the signal acquisition and control system 1 controls the rear two-dimensional laser radar 9 to horizontally scan the position of the rear wheels of the vehicle to obtain the point cloud information of the rear tires.

[0020] A certain measured point M in the rear two-dimensional laser radar scanning plane is saved in polar coordinates as (ρ, α), where ρ is the distance from the point to the laser emission center B on the scanning plane, and α is the angle of the scanning laser beam passing through the measured point; the acquired point cloud data is converted to the rectangular coordinate system of the starting scanning plane, and the conversion formula is:

[0021]

[0022] Where C is a fixed constant.

[0023] The curve changing rule is analyzed based on the second-order derivative of the curve to extract the smooth changing segment of the tire profile curve and obtain the tire profile curve of the rear tire.

[0024] The nonlinear least square method is used to fit the curves and the common tangent line and common tangent point of the two curves are obtained.

[0025] Taking the common tangent point as the reference, take the same length on both sides to obtain two new data curves and perform matching analysis until the matching accuracy requirement is met; the symmetry axis is obtained about the common tangent line and the common tangent point, and the intersection of the symmetry axis and the common tangent line is the feature point.

[0026] By obtaining the coordinates of the feature point in the v-axis direction when the vehicle starts braking and the coordinates of the feature point on the v-axis after braking, the difference is the horizontal displacement of the vehicle.
