[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0033] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0034] Terminology Explanation:
[0035] LOF Algorithm: Local Outlier Factor (LOF)
[0036] Digital twin technology: A digital twin (DT) is a virtual mirror image of a physical product that can reflect the entire lifecycle of the corresponding physical product.
[0037] Fault condition reproduction: Fault condition reproduction mainly occurs during the troubleshooting stage after a fault occurs. It often requires repeating the fault occurrence process or key points to locate and resolve the fault.
[0038] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0039] Most vehicle testing relies on manual inspection, with fault diagnosis performed through human intervention. This diagnostic technique requires highly skilled personnel and depends on expert experience or instrument detection. The inspection is subject to lag and inconsistent evaluation standards, resulting in a high rate of false alarms and missed detections.
[0040] The instrument panel alarm fault detection method is a diagnostic approach based on signal processing technology. This method mainly requires sensors and instrument detection technologies to collect and analyze the fault information. Although this diagnostic technology does not rely entirely on experience and knowledge as in the first stage and its accuracy has been improved accordingly, it still requires human assistance to some extent, and the fault alarm has a lag, which cannot meet the user's requirements.
[0041] Therefore, the progress of the whole vehicle off-line is often delayed because it is difficult to promote the reproduction of the working condition. Therefore, the following embodiments give a whole vehicle test method, system, storage medium and equipment based on digital twinning, aiming to realize data recording and fault backtracking by building a virtual model, and improve the fault positioning efficiency and off-line progress.
[0042] Embodiment one:
[0043] As shown in Figures 1-4 The whole vehicle test method based on digital twinning includes the following steps:
[0044] 1. Data acquisition stage: collect basic data including static data and dynamic data.
[0045] Static data mainly refers to vehicle appearance attribute data, evaluation information and other data. Vehicle appearance attribute data such as brand, vehicle number, color, evaluation information such as vehicle key component service life, maintenance information, etc.; such data is determined after the vehicle is manufactured and almost does not change in a long period of time.
[0046] Dynamic data includes vehicle running data and environmental data. Vehicle running data such as vehicle speed, gear state, temperature, speed, etc. Sensor collected data, environmental data such as road condition information, surrounding vehicle information, weather information. Such data changes dynamically with the operation of the vehicle (whether in the test site or actually on the road).
[0047] The data acquisition stage writes data into the database, which is divided into real-time database and storage database. For the storage database, the driving information can be dynamically maintained, and the information is preliminarily pretreated and cached. When the upper control terminal has the demand of extracting data, the data can be directly transmitted to the control terminal. Dynamic data generated during the vehicle running process, such as engine speed, oil temperature, etc. need to be transmitted through the real-time database, the real-time database does not pretreat the data, and directly uploads the data to the control terminal, which is directly processed and used by the control terminal, so as to realize timely and efficient early warning response.
[0048] The data acquisition stage adopts a distributed data storage method. For some static information such as vehicle attributes, the cached data in the storage database can be directly obtained, and for dynamic data during vehicle driving, it is not processed and directly uploaded to the control terminal. The distributed data storage method reduces the complexity of storing large capacity data in the local database, and also improves the response speed of the control terminal.
[0049] 2. Data transmission stage: using 5G transmission technology, the transmitted data includes static data generated by the vehicle and dynamic data generated during the test driving process, the transmission direction is from the memory to the application layer controller, CRC check (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is performed at the sending and receiving end, and the data that does not pass the check is considered to be caused by network anomalies and is excluded.
[0050] 3. Data preprocessing stage: since in the actual production process, the data generated by each system is nonlinear, highly random and uncertain, and the types of data collected by each system are not the same, and some invalid data and missing data caused by equipment wear and failure also need to be avoided, therefore, data preprocessing is performed before the virtual model is built, the main purpose of which is to unify the data standards and perform adaptive processing.
[0051] Data preprocessing includes storage database static data preprocessing and control terminal dynamic data preprocessing. Missing or abnormal static data will affect the integrity and accuracy of the digital screen display information, and has little effect on the virtual twin system, so it will not affect the accuracy of the normal twin system fault warning and fault backtracking function. Therefore, the interpolation algorithm can be used to complete the data cleaning process for static data preprocessing. The accuracy of dynamic data will seriously affect the accuracy of fault warning, so data preprocessing is required before building the digital twin system to filter out abnormal data, as shown in Figure 2 .
[0052] Dynamic data collection requires good network upload performance, and driving into areas with weak signals during vehicle testing will cause great difficulties in signal collection. From the proportion of abnormal data collected, the preprocessing of continuous data recorded by the vehicle terminal in time sequence mainly focuses on the identification of outliers. In this embodiment, the LOF algorithm based on distance density is used for data preprocessing.
[0053] First, use the LOF algorithm to find the abnormal points in the data. The calculation formula for judging the abnormal points P in the data group C1 is as follows:
[0054]
[0055] Assign a score to each point as the LOF score through the ratio of the reachable distance, the greater the score, the more obvious the abnormality of point P. Set the LOF score threshold for judging abnormal values, and carefully determine the value of the score threshold C. Modify the value of C to avoid modifying the originally abnormal data to normal values. For outliers with a score threshold exceeding the limit, the original value of the abnormal point is calculated in reverse according to the time to obtain the similar distance, and is modified to normal data to ensure the continuity and integrity of the data.
[0056]
[0057] 4. Virtual model construction stage: the construction of the virtual model is mainly divided into attribute model and behavior model. The entire model is constructed by using a three-dimensional modeling software. Static data is used to construct the attribute model. The appearance constraint and shape constraint of the vehicle reflected by the static data are used to build the attribute model. The behavior model is built mainly by the standard dynamic parameters of vehicle driving, position transformation and motion logic relationship. The 1:1 mapping of the actual scene and the virtual scene is completed from the dimensions of space, time and physics. The virtual geometric model for vehicle driving is established, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 3
[0058] The model can receive data in real time, which is equivalent to a physical model of the entire vehicle. The model receives and stores data for a period of time in real time. The trend of data change is analyzed in the physical model to predict the possibility of fault occurrence and give a warning. For the fault that has occurred, the physical model is used for tracing and positioning.
[0059] The appearance constraint and shape constraint of the vehicle reflected by the static data are used to build the attribute model. ATBModel = {AppearConstraint, ShapConstraint}. The static data required for the appearance constraint model includes vehicle model, color, vehicle weight and other information. After the vehicle is produced and delivered, the parameter information is input to the 3D drawing software to generate the appearance constraint model. The static data required for the shape constraint model includes vehicle engine model, transmission system model, brake system model and other information. The shape constraint model construction process is similar to that of the appearance constraint model.
[0060] The dynamic data reflects the real-time running condition of the entire vehicle and the relative displacement condition of the road space. The behavior model is built by using this part of data. BEHModel = {vehic, posit}. The actual condition of the entire vehicle running is mainly driven by the sensor collected data, and finally determines the parameters such as the speed and pressure of the model. The relative displacement condition of the road space is mainly calculated by fusing the road information and the vehicle speed, and finally determines the parameters such as the space map and road information of the physical model. After the above data parameters are processed by the LOF algorithm, they are input to the Unity virtual reality software for dynamic simulation of the entire vehicle.
[0061] 5. Data visualization processing: The digital visualization large screen system displays the corresponding data according to the data obtained from the data interface, according to the designed visualization effect. Data transmission is mainly responsible for the data interaction between the data acquisition system and the digital visualization large screen system, to ensure that the large screen system can quickly and completely receive the real-time data of the field device and the key data collected from various related information systems. Data is interacted through the data interface between the data acquisition system and the visualization large screen system, and through the subscription and publication mode, various core data is directly distributed to each related unit of the large screen system through the classification standard interface.
[0062] 6. Fault early warning processing: The virtual model is built to monitor the real-time dynamic parameter data of the whole vehicle, and the threshold of each parameter is set. Through the detection of the change curve of the parameter, the early warning of the fault is carried out. In this process, the fault classification is carried out through the monitoring of the variable name, the threshold judgment is added to divide the fault level into three levels of high, medium and low. Finally, the fault classification and fault level are determined by the binary indicator light flashing mode, and the determination result is submitted to the expert library to identify the corresponding processing measures.
[0063] 7. Traceable working condition processing: The virtual model records the whole vehicle data fragments. Once a fault occurs during the operation of the whole vehicle, the running parameters before the fault occurs can be traced through the twin virtual model, and the running parameters are input into the virtual model to intuitively display the state of the whole vehicle at the moment of the fault, and then the fault reason is located. In the process of fault early warning and working condition tracing of the twin model, as shown in Figure 4
[0064] In the above process, the digital twin technology is used to build a virtual model of the actual vehicle operation, to find and record abnormalities through the running of the virtual model, to improve the cognition, monitoring and fault early warning of the test vehicle operation; in addition, the virtual model records data in real time, traces the working condition at the moment of the problem, to avoid the problem of difficult reproduction of complex working conditions.
