[0002] Tire blowouts at high speeds pose a significant safety hazard to vehicle stability and driver safety. Controlling and reducing the harm caused by tire blowouts to vehicles and occupants has always been one of the challenges faced by the automotive industry.

[0003] The current common solution is to replace tires with run-flat tires to reduce the damage caused by a tire blowout, controlling the harm from a hardware perspective. However, the coverage of run-flat tires is limited. Based on existing research, if the driver reacts promptly and takes correct actions after a tire blowout, even with regular tires, the impact of the blowout can be controlled to a certain extent, thus reducing the harm. However, after a tire blowout, drivers often panic and over-control the vehicle, resulting in significant forced movement and oversteering.

[0065] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0066] In one embodiment, a vehicle control method is provided. This embodiment illustrates the application of this vehicle control method to a processor. It should be noted that the processor can be installed inside the vehicle, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle control method includes:

[0067] Step 202: Receive tire blowout signal.

[0068] A tire blowout signal can be issued by a tire blowout detection device. For example, when a tire blowout is detected, the tire blowout detection device can be a pressure sensor used to detect the internal pressure of the four tires in front and behind the vehicle. When the internal pressure of any tire drops to a preset alarm threshold in a short period of time, the pressure sensor sends a tire blowout signal to the processor.

[0069] In this embodiment, the processor receives a tire blowout signal from the tire blowout detection device.

[0070] Step 204: Calculate the target steering rate of the vehicle with the blown tire based on the tire blowout status information carried by the blowout signal and the vehicle driving information of the vehicle with the blowout.

[0071] Tire blowout status information reflects the information corresponding to the tire that experienced the blowout, such as the friction between the blown tire and the ground, i.e., tire drag. Vehicle driving information reflects the actual state of the vehicle with the blown tire and relevant parameters of various parts of the vehicle body. Vehicle driving information may include the vehicle's speed, the track width between the left and right tires, the steering wheel angle, and the location of the blown tire.

[0072] After a tire blowout, the driver may panic and swerve the steering wheel, which could cause the vehicle to roll over. Therefore, properly controlling the steering speed of the wheels of a vehicle with a blowout is very important in reducing the driving risks associated with a tire blowout.

[0073] The target steering rate refers to the wheel steering rate that enables a vehicle with a blown tire to maintain a relatively stable steering rate.

[0074] In this embodiment, the processor can calculate a steering rate that enables the vehicle with a blown tire to maintain a relatively stable steering speed based on the actual state of the vehicle and the relevant parameters of each part of the vehicle body.

[0075] Step 206: Determine the braking and steering parameters of the vehicle with the blowout based on the target steering rate.

[0076] The steering rate of a vehicle needs to take into account the vehicle speed, the power of the four front and rear tires, and the tire steering angle. The power of the tires depends on the pushing force and the braking force. In the process of normal driving, if a tire blowout occurs, the driver will usually release the accelerator, which can manually reduce the pushing force to zero. However, due to the vehicle's inertia, the vehicle will still travel a certain distance. At this time, the braking force of the vehicle should be considered. Therefore, properly controlling the braking force of a vehicle with a tire blowout is also of great significance in reducing the driving risks caused by a tire blowout.

[0077] In this embodiment, the processor, based on the steering parameters predicted in step 204 that enable the vehicle with a blown tire to maintain a relatively stable steering rate, further enables the vehicle with a blown tire to adjust the braking parameters when adjusting to that steering rate.

[0078] In the aforementioned vehicle control method, the processor receives a tire blowout signal from the tire blowout detection device and calculates a wheel steering rate that allows the vehicle to maintain a relatively stable steering speed based on the actual state of the vehicle and relevant parameters of various body parts. It then further calculates the necessary braking and steering parameters based on this steering rate. This design reduces the risk of driver error caused by panic during a tire blowout. Automated control of the vehicle prevents it from overturning due to sudden steering or emergency braking, thus improving vehicle safety and protecting the driver's life.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, step 204 includes: step 2042, calculating the asymmetric torque of the vehicle with the blown tire based on the blown tire state information and vehicle driving information; step 2044, calculating the target steering rate of the blown tire wheel based on the asymmetric torque and vehicle driving information.

[0080] Further, in an optional embodiment, the blown tire status information may include the blown tire resistance, and the vehicle driving information may include the wheel track between the left and right tires of the blown vehicle and the friction between the non-blown tire and the ground. Step 2042 includes: obtaining a resistance difference value based on the blown tire resistance and the friction between the non-blown tire and the ground; and determining an asymmetric torque based on the resistance difference value and the wheel track between the left and right tires of the blown vehicle.

[0081] Specifically, the resistance difference can be obtained by subtracting the tire resistance of the blown tire from the friction between the tire of the non-blown tire and the ground. The resistance difference can then be multiplied by half the wheel track of the vehicle with the blown tire to obtain the asymmetric torque.

[0082] As an example, the formula used in step 2042 to calculate the asymmetric torque is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, M z Indicates asymmetric torque, d represents the track width between the left and right tires of the vehicle that suffered a tire blowout, and F represents the torque. TB F represents the tire resistance of the tire with a blown tire, while F represents the friction between the tire without a blown tire and the ground.

[0085] In this embodiment, after calculating the asymmetric torque, the processor further calculates the target steering rate based on the asymmetric torque and information about various components of the vehicle during the tire blowout process.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, step 2044 includes: step 20442, determining the actual state information and predicted state information of the vehicle in the non-explosion state based on the asymmetric torque and vehicle driving information; step 20444, calculating the target steering rate based on the actual state information and predicted state information.

[0087] In this embodiment, the processor determines the predicted state information of the vehicle with a blowout but not yet blowout based on the asymmetric torque and vehicle driving information, and determines the actual state information of the vehicle with a blowout but not yet blowout based on the vehicle driving information.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle driving information may include the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire, the vehicle's turning radius, longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, the normal force and friction force corresponding to the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel, respectively. Step 20442 includes: determining the centripetal force of the vehicle with the blown tire based on a preset tire friction coefficient, the normal force corresponding to the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel of the vehicle with the blown tire, and the friction force corresponding to the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel of the vehicle with the blown tire; and determining the actual state information based on the centripetal force of the vehicle with the blown tire, the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire, and the vehicle's turning radius of the vehicle with the blown tire.

[0089] Specifically, the total pressure value of the vehicle with a blown tire can be obtained by adding the normal forces corresponding to the left front tire, right front tire, left rear tire, and right rear tire respectively. The total friction value of the vehicle with a blown tire can be obtained by adding the friction forces of the left front tire, right front tire, left rear tire, and right rear tire respectively. Then, the product of the square of the total pressure value and the tire friction coefficient is calculated, and the product is subtracted from the square of the total friction value and then the result is raised to the power of the square to obtain the centripetal force of the vehicle with a blown tire.

[0090] Furthermore, the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire is multiplied by its turning radius, and then the centripetal force is divided by the product to obtain the actual state information.

[0091] Based on the vehicle's current acceleration, the formula used in step 20442 to calculate the actual state information is as follows:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, F NNL F NFR F NRL F NRR These represent the normal force applied to the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel, respectively; F NFL F NFR F NRL F NRR These represent the frictional forces experienced by the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel, respectively; μ represents the pre-set tire friction coefficient, and ω... p This indicates the actual status information, where r represents the turning radius of the vehicle with the tire blowout.

[0094] Here, 'r' can be calculated by substituting the steering wheel angle of the vehicle with the tire blowout into the Ackermann equation. Correspondingly, the vehicle driving information includes the steering wheel angle information of the vehicle with the tire blowout.

[0095] As an example, actual condition information could be the actual theoretical maximum steering rate of a vehicle with a blown tire.

[0096] In this embodiment, the processor determines the target steering rate based on the calculated actual theoretical maximum steering rate of the vehicle with a blowout and the predicted state information under the non-blowout state.

[0097] In some optional embodiments, step 20442 includes: calculating the offset torque angle of the tire blowout vehicle based on the asymmetric torque and vehicle driving information; calculating the predicted angle of the tire blowout vehicle based on the offset torque angle and vehicle driving information; and determining the predicted state information based on the predicted angle.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, the predicted state information may include the expected steering rate of the vehicle with the blown tire in the non-blowout state. The vehicle state information may include the steering wheel angle information of the vehicle with the blown tire, the wheelbase of the vehicle with the blown tire, the lateral force after the blown tire wheel turns and the lateral force after the non-blowout tire wheel turns, and the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire. Step 20442 includes: calculating the total lateral force after the blown tire based on the lateral force after the blown tire wheel and the lateral force after the non-blowout tire wheel; calculating the counteracting torque angle based on the asymmetric torque, the total lateral force after the blown tire, and the wheelbase of the vehicle with the blown tire; determining the predicted steering angle based on the counteracting torque angle and the steering wheel angle information of the vehicle with the blown tire; and determining the expected steering rate based on the predicted steering angle.

[0099] Specifically, the processor can add the lateral steering force of the wheel with the tire that has blown out to the lateral steering force of the wheel that has not blown out to obtain the total lateral steering force of the vehicle with the blown tire. Then, it uses twice the asymmetric torque divided by the product of the total lateral steering force and the wheelbase to obtain the counteracting torque angle.

[0100] Furthermore, based on the steering wheel angle information of the vehicle with the tire blowout, the steering wheel angle value of the vehicle with the tire blowout is obtained, and the torque-counteracting angle is subtracted from the steering wheel angle value to obtain the predicted steering angle. Then, the predicted steering angle is converted into the expected steering rate corresponding to each wheel.

[0101] Step 20442: Based on the asymmetric torque and vehicle driving information, the formula used to calculate the torque-counteracting angle θ is as follows:

[0102]

[0103] Among them, M z Indicates asymmetric torque, l represents the wheelbase of the vehicle with the tire blowout, Fy TB Fy represents the lateral force after the wheel with a blown tire turns, while Fy represents the lateral force after the wheel without a blown tire turns.

[0104] As an example, when a rear tire of a vehicle blows out, the formula for offsetting the torque angle θ is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] M z =(Fy(θ))

[0107]

[0108] Where θ represents the torque angle that counteracts a tire blowout when the rear tire of a vehicle experiences a blowout.

[0109] The predicted steering angle is the difference between the steering wheel angle and the torque-counteracting angle θ. The predicted steering angle is the expected steering angle of a vehicle with a tire blowout.

[0110] Furthermore, the processor converts the desired steering angle into the steering angle corresponding to each wheel, and then converts this into the desired steering rate ω in the predicted state information. m .

[0111] In an optional embodiment, the predicted state information may include the expected maximum steering rate, and the vehicle state information may include the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire and the vehicle's turning radius. Step 20442 includes: calculating the expected maximum steering rate based on a preset tire friction coefficient, the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire, and the vehicle's turning radius.

[0112] Specifically, the processor can calculate the gravity based on the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire, then multiply the gravity by the tire friction coefficient to obtain the total friction force of the vehicle with the blown tire, then divide the total friction force by the product of the mass of the vehicle with the blown tire and the turning radius of the vehicle, and then take the power to obtain the desired maximum turning rate.

[0113] As an example, the processor calculates the expected maximum turning rate from the predicted state information using the following formula:

[0114]

[0115] Where m represents the mass of the vehicle with the tire blowout, ω n This indicates the expected maximum steering rate.

[0116] In an optional embodiment, the predicted state information may include the expected steering rate and the expected maximum steering rate of the vehicle with the blown tire in the non-blowout state, and the actual state information may include the actual theoretical maximum steering rate of the vehicle with the blown tire. Step 20444 includes: determining the target steering rate based on the expected steering rate, the expected maximum steering rate and the actual theoretical maximum steering rate of the vehicle with the blown tire in the non-blowout state.

[0117] Specifically, the processor can divide the desired steering rate by the desired maximum steering rate, and then multiply it by the actual theoretical maximum steering rate to obtain the target steering rate.

[0118] As an example, the processor can calculate the target turning rate using the following formula:

[0119]

[0120] Where, ω n ω represents the desired maximum steering rate; p ω represents the actual theoretical maximum turning rate. m ω represents the desired turning rate; T Indicates the target turning rate.

[0121] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, step 206 includes: step 2062, using the vehicle Ackermann formula to determine the required steering angle of the tire blowout vehicle based on the target steering rate; step 2064, superimposing the required steering angle and the torque-counteracting steering angle to determine the target steering angle of the tire blowout vehicle; step 2066, determining steering parameters based on vehicle driving information and the target steering angle; and step 2068, determining braking parameters based on the steering angle deviation and vehicle driving information.

[0122] Demand steering angle refers to the angle at which the tires need to turn to maintain stability when a vehicle experiences a tire blowout.

[0123] The target steering angle refers to the angle at which the tires need to turn to maintain stability of the vehicle after the blowout, following the offset torque angle generated by the blowout.

[0124] Target steering torque refers to the torque required to make the tires of a vehicle with a blown tire turn at the target steering angle.

[0125] In this embodiment, the processor uses the vehicle Ackermann formula to calculate the required steering angle based on the target steering rate. Then, it superimposes the required steering angle with the offset torque angle θ to obtain the target steering angle. Finally, based on the target steering angle, combined with the vehicle speed, acceleration, and other conditions of the vehicle with the blown tire, it provides a suitable target steering torque.

[0126] Vehicle driving information can also include the difference in braking force between the left and right sides of a vehicle with a tire blowout.

[0127] The difference in vehicle performance caused by the difference between the actual steering wheel angle and the target steering angle can be achieved by changing the braking force. Specifically, based on the vehicle's steering characteristics, the difference in the lateral force caused by this difference can be obtained. As an example, the lateral force can be converted into the difference between the left and right longitudinal forces using the following formula:

[0128] F Y l = F X d

[0129] Among them, F Y F represents the difference between the actual steering wheel angle and the target steering angle. X This indicates the difference in braking force between the left and right sides of a vehicle that has experienced a tire blowout.

[0130] Furthermore, F is expressed using the following formula. X Converted into braking force values ​​for each tire of the vehicle that suffered a tire blowout:

[0131] F X =F XFL -F XFR +F XRL -F XRR

[0132] Where F XXL F XFR F XRL F XRR The additional braking force required for the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel, respectively.

[0133] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the vehicle control method further includes: step 203, controlling the vehicle with a blown tire according to braking parameters and steering parameters.

[0134] The aforementioned vehicle control method combines steering and braking systems to keep the vehicle in a stable range after a tire blowout, improving driving safety and preventing loss of control after a blowout. By automatically calculating braking force and steering rate, the method controls and stabilizes the blowout situation, reducing the impact of driver error on the blowout vehicle and effectively alleviating the driver's anxiety after a blowout.

[0135] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.
