[0035] The technical solutions in the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents the meaning of or, for example, A / B can represent A or B: "and / or" in the text only describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which means that there are three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0036] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0037] In the current vehicle field, some models have canceled the P lock, and the only mechanism on the vehicle that can achieve parking is the electronic parking brake system. When the electronic parking brake system fails, the vehicle will not be able to achieve parking through the electronic parking brake system, thereby easily causing safety hazards.

[0038] Based on the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, the embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle control method, device, and vehicle. This application not only implements a redundant design of the drive module of the rear wheel caliper, but also implements multi-point control of the rear wheel caliper. The multi-point control includes user-active control of vehicle parking and vehicle-automatic control of vehicle parking, thereby ensuring parking reliability. In addition, the multi-point control of the rear wheel caliper is combined with the redundant design of the drive module to form multiple control circuits for rear wheel caliper control. When a single hardware module involved in rear wheel caliper control in the parking brake system fails, the rear wheel caliper can be controlled by using a control circuit that does not include the failed single hardware module to achieve parking or release, which is beneficial to improving parking safety.

[0039] Figure 1 An exemplary system block diagram of a parking brake system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the parking brake system 10 includes: a parking switch 200, a brake system controller 100, a caliper assembly, and three caliper control circuits for controlling the caliper assembly. The parking switch 200 includes a physical parking switch and / or a virtual parking switch (soft switch). The two rear wheel calipers are a first rear wheel caliper 301 and a second rear wheel caliper 302. The first rear wheel caliper 301 can be referred to as the first rear wheel EPB caliper, and the second rear wheel caliper 302 can be referred to as the second rear wheel EPB caliper. The first caliper control circuit is a single circuit for controlling the rear wheel caliper, while the second caliper control circuit and the second caliper control circuit each include multiple circuits for controlling the rear wheel calipers. The difference between the first caliper control circuit and the second caliper control circuit is that the two include different numbers of hardware modules, but the sources of the caliper control signals for rear wheel caliper control are the same, that is, both come from the parking switch 200; the difference between the second caliper control circuit and the third caliper control circuit is that the sources of the caliper control signals for rear wheel caliper control are different, the caliper control signal of the second caliper control circuit comes from the parking switch 200, and the caliper control signal of the third caliper control circuit comes from the communication module in the brake system controller 100, and the second caliper control circuit and the third caliper control circuit include the same number of hardware modules.

[0040] The caliper control signal includes a caliper clamping request or a caliper release request, and the target action includes a caliper clamping action or a caliper release action. That is, when the caliper control signal is a caliper clamping request, the target action is a caliper clamping action; when the caliper control signal is a caliper release request, the target action is a caliper release action. The caliper control signal can be actively triggered by the user or automatically triggered by the vehicle. For example, the user-triggered scenario is when the user triggers Figure 1The physical parking switch in the vehicle generates a caliper control signal. The vehicle automatically triggers the caliper control signal when the vehicle needs to park after completing automatic parking. The vehicle issues a parking completion request signal after completing automatic parking. The parking completion request signal is equivalent to generating a caliper control signal. Since parking is generally required after completing parking, the caliper control signal here is specifically a caliper clamping request.

[0041] The brake system controller 100 includes at least two communication modules, a control module 101 , at least two drive modules and an H-bridge assembly, where the H-bridge assembly includes at least two H-bridge modules.

[0042] This application uses a communication module, a drive module, and an H-bridge module as two examples for explanation. The first H-bridge module 103 is connected to the first rear wheel caliper 301, and the second H-bridge module 203 is connected to the second rear wheel caliper 302. The two communication modules 104 are each other's backup modules. The two communication modules are the first communication module 1041 and the second communication module 1042. The first communication module 1041 and the second communication module 1042 are connected to each other. The first communication module 1041 and the second communication module 1042 can detect each other whether the other has a fault, that is, the first communication module 1041 and the second communication module 1042 send a fault detection signal to each other. If both receive the feedback signal from the other, the two will send a signal to the control module 101 indicating that the communication module to which they are connected is not faulty. If one of the two does not receive the feedback signal from the other, it will send a signal to the control module 101 indicating that the other has a fault. If the control module 101 can receive a signal from any communication module, it indicates that the communication module is not faulty. For example, if it only receives a signal from the first communication module 1041 and does not receive a signal from the second communication module 1042 within a preset time period, it is considered that the second communication module 1042 has failed. Both the first communication module 1041 and the second communication module 1042 can receive caliper control signals from the CAN network. When both the first communication module 1041 and the second communication module 1042 are not faulty, either one of them is used to receive the caliper control signal from the CAN network. For example, the first communication module 1041 is used by default to receive the caliper control signal from the CAN network. When the first communication module 1041 fails, the second communication module 1042 is used to receive the caliper control signal from the CAN network. Specifically, the first communication module 1041 receives the caliper control signal from CAN network 1, and the second communication module 1042 receives the caliper control signal from CAN network 2.

[0043] The parking brake system 10 also includes a vehicle power supply 105, and the brake system controller 100 also includes a power management module 106. The vehicle power supply 105 is connected to the power management module 106 and the parking switch 200, that is, the vehicle power supply 105 supplies power to the power management module 106 and the parking switch 200, and the power management module 106 is connected to at least two communication modules, the control module 101, at least two drive modules and the H-bridge component, that is, the power management module 106 supplies power to the first communication module 1041, the second communication module 1042, the control module 101, at least two drive modules and the H-bridge component.

[0044] The control principles of the caliper assembly by the above three caliper control circuits are the same. Each caliper control circuit includes a single drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence. The control principle of the caliper assembly by each caliper control circuit is as follows: the drive module in each caliper control circuit is used to output a drive signal to the H-bridge assembly when it receives a caliper control signal. The H-bridge assembly controls the caliper assembly connected to the H-bridge module according to the drive signal to perform the target action corresponding to the caliper control signal, so as to realize parking or releasing the vehicle.

[0045] Among them, if the caliper control signal is a signal generated by the parking switch being triggered (which can be understood as the caliper control signal generated by the parking switch 200 after the user triggers the parking switch 200), the caliper control signal is sent to the driver module in the first caliper control circuit via a first transmission path, or the caliper control signal is sent to the driver module in the second caliper control circuit via a second transmission path; the first transmission path includes the parking switch 200 and the driver module in the first caliper control circuit connected in sequence, and the second transmission path includes the parking switch 200, the control module 101, and the driver module in the second caliper control circuit connected in sequence. If the caliper control signal is a signal received by a single communication module from a CAN network, the caliper control signal is sent to the driver module in the third caliper control circuit via a third transmission path, and the third transmission path includes the single communication module, the control module 101, and the driver module in the third caliper control circuit connected in sequence.

[0046] The parking brake system provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with redundant drive modules. On the one hand, when one of the drive modules fails, the other drive module is not affected and can still work normally, thereby ensuring the parking ability of the vehicle. On the other hand, the dual drive modules can enable the parking brake system to respond quickly to the caliper control signal and quickly achieve parking. Since the two drive modules work at the same time, the parking brake system can process the braking request more quickly and control the braking force more accurately, which enables the vehicle to slow down and stop more quickly in emergency braking situations. The use of the parking brake system has a faster response speed and higher braking efficiency, thereby improving driving safety. On the other hand, the parking brake system with dual drive modules can be seamlessly integrated with other intelligent systems of the vehicle (such as adaptive cruise control system, automatic parking system, etc.). By working in conjunction with these systems, a higher level of automatic driving and intelligent braking functions can be achieved, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of driving.

[0047] The following is an embodiment of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0048] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the above-mentioned parking brake system, and the vehicle control method includes the following schemes:

[0049] S110: When a fault occurs in the parking brake system, determine a fault source in the parking brake system.

[0050] The causes of parking brake system failure include hardware module failure and / or circuit failure in the parking brake system. In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the causes of parking brake system failure include hardware module failure or circuit failure, and the failed hardware module is not the parking switch, vehicle power supply, or power management module. In other words, the present application addresses the situation where the parking brake system fails when the cause of the failure is not the parking switch, vehicle power supply, or power management module (hereinafter referred to as "parking brake system failure"). If a parking brake system failure is detected, the source of the failure in the parking brake system is determined, wherein the source of the failure does not include the parking switch, vehicle power supply, or power management module.

[0051] S120: Filter the caliper control circuit including the fault source among the three caliper control circuits to obtain an alternative caliper control circuit.

[0052] After determining the source of the fault, if the caliper control circuit including the fault source among the three caliper control circuits cannot control the rear wheel caliper, it is necessary to filter the caliper control circuit including the fault source to obtain an alternative caliper control circuit, that is, the caliper control circuit included in the alternative caliper control circuit can control the rear wheel caliper.

[0053] S130: Determine a target strategy from the first strategy and the second strategy according to the fault source.

[0054] Because two-point control settings have been made in advance for the control of the rear wheel calipers, namely, the user actively controls the rear wheel calipers through the parking switch and the vehicle automatically controls the rear wheel calipers, that is, the user actively controls the vehicle to park or release the park, and the vehicle automatically parks or releases the park. Therefore, two strategies are set for the case where the fault source includes the control module (the vehicle cannot automatically control the rear wheel calipers and the user cannot actively control the rear wheel calipers) and the case where the fault source does not include the control module (the vehicle cannot automatically control the rear wheel calipers but the user can actively control the rear wheel calipers). The two strategies are used to decide whether to control the vehicle to park or release the park only by actively controlling the rear wheel calipers, or whether to control the vehicle to park or release the park both by actively controlling the rear wheel calipers by the user and by automatically controlling the rear wheel calipers by the vehicle.

[0055] Among them, the first strategy is to prompt the user to generate a caliper control signal by triggering the parking switch when the fault source includes the control module, that is, the vehicle parking or unparking is controlled only by the user's active control of the rear wheel caliper; the second strategy is to prompt the user to generate a caliper control signal by triggering the parking switch and instruct the parking brake system to monitor a single communication module to receive the caliper control signal from the CAN network when the fault source does not include the control module, that is, the vehicle parking or unparking can be controlled both by the user's active control of the rear wheel caliper and by the vehicle's automatic control of the rear wheel caliper.

[0056] S140: When the caliper control signal is received, determine a target transmission path for transmitting the caliper control signal.

[0057] If the caliper control signal is received, a target transmission path for transmitting the caliper control signal is determined, and the target transmission path is any one of the first, second and third transmission paths.

[0058] S150: Determine a target caliper control circuit from candidate caliper control circuits according to the target transmission path and the target strategy.

[0059] After obtaining the target transmission path and target strategy, based on the determined fault source and in combination with the target transmission path and target strategy, a caliper control circuit ultimately used for rear wheel caliper control is determined from the alternative caliper control circuits to obtain the target caliper control circuit.

[0060] S160: Using the target caliper control circuit to control the caliper assembly to perform the target action.

[0061] After obtaining the target caliper control circuit, the target caliper control circuit is used to control the rear wheel calipers to execute the target action, and the other caliper control circuits in the alternative caliper control circuit are disabled. If the caliper control signal includes a caliper clamping request, the target caliper control circuit is used to control the rear wheel calipers to clamp the calipers, thereby parking the vehicle. If the caliper control signal includes a caliper release request, the target caliper control circuit is used to control the rear wheel calipers to release the calipers, thereby releasing the vehicle from the parked state. If the target caliper control circuit controls a single rear wheel caliper, parking requirements on slopes of 8% can be met. If the target caliper control circuit controls two rear wheel calipers, parking requirements on slopes of 30% can be met. This means that even if the parking brake system fails, parking requirements can still be met, thereby improving vehicle parking safety.

[0062] Based on the above technical solution provided by the present application, not only multi-point control of the rear wheel caliper is realized, but also redundant design of the rear wheel caliper control is realized on the basis of the multi-point control of the rear wheel caliper, that is, multiple caliper control circuits for rear wheel caliper control are formed based on the hardware modules involved in the rear wheel caliper control in the parking brake system. When a failure occurs in the parking brake system, a caliper control circuit that does not include the fault source is selected from the multiple caliper control circuits based on the determined fault source to control the rear wheel caliper, thereby realizing parking or releasing the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the rear wheel caliper control and improving the parking safety of the vehicle.

[0063] The following Figure 1 The specific implementation of each step in the embodiment shown is described, wherein: Figures 3-9 The “★” in the middle indicates the source of the fault.

[0064] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 An exemplary system block diagram of a control module failure in the parking brake system provided by the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the above S120 includes the following solutions:

[0065] If the fault source is the control module, it means that the second caliper control circuit and the third caliper control circuit cannot be used to control the rear wheel calipers, and it also means that the vehicle cannot automatically park or release the parking position. The caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the first caliper control circuit is determined as the alternative caliper control circuit, that is, the first caliper control circuit includes a caliper control circuit, that is, the first caliper control circuit is used as the alternative caliper control circuit.

[0066] If the fault source is the control module, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0067] If the target strategy is the first strategy and the target transmission path is the first transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0068] In the event that a control module fails and causes a parking brake system failure, the user can actively control the rear wheel calipers to park or release the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0069] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 An exemplary system block diagram of a single communication module failure in the parking brake system provided by the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the above S120 includes the following solutions:

[0070] If the fault source is one of the communication modules, that is, a single communication module fails, it means that the other communication module is not faulty. The first caliper control circuit, the second caliper control circuit, and the third caliper control circuit including the caliper control circuit of the other communication module can be used to control the rear wheel calipers. The vehicle can automatically park or release the parking position, and the user can also actively control the vehicle to park or release the parking position. Therefore, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the first caliper control circuit; the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the control module, the single drive module, the H-bridge assembly, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the second caliper control circuit; and the caliper control circuit formed by the other communication module, the control module, the single drive module, the H-bridge assembly, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit are determined as alternative caliper control circuits.

[0071] For example, if one of the communication modules is the first communication module, then the other communication module is the second communication module, that is, the caliper control circuit formed by the second communication module, control module, single driver module, H-bridge assembly, and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit is determined as the alternative caliper control circuit. The caliper control circuit formed by the second communication module, control module, single driver module, H-bridge assembly, and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit includes: the caliper control circuit formed by the second communication module, control module, first driver module, H-bridge assembly, and caliper assembly connected in sequence, and the caliper control circuit formed by the second communication module, control module, second driver module, H-bridge assembly, and caliper assembly connected in sequence.

[0072] If the fault source is one of the communication modules, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0073] If the target strategy is the first strategy and the target transmission path is the first transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the second transmission path, any one of the second type of caliper control circuits included in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the third transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by another communication module, control module, single drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0074] In the event that a single communication module fails, resulting in a parking brake system failure, the technical solution based on selecting the target caliper control circuit can not only enable the user to actively control the rear wheel calipers to park or unpark the vehicle, but also enable the vehicle to automatically park or unpark, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0075] In one possible implementation, Figure 5 An exemplary system block diagram of a connection line failure in the parking brake system provided by the present application is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the above S120 includes the following solutions:

[0076] If the fault source is the connection line between the control module and the first drive module, it means that the first caliper control circuit, the caliper control circuit including the second drive module in the second caliper control circuit, and the third caliper control circuit can be used to control the rear wheel calipers. The vehicle can automatically park or release the vehicle, and the user can also actively control the vehicle to park or release the vehicle. Therefore, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the first caliper control circuit, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the control module, the second drive module, the H-bridge assembly, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the second caliper control circuit, and the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, the control module, the second drive module, the H-bridge assembly, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit are determined as alternative caliper control circuits.

[0077] Among them, the caliper control circuit formed by a single communication module, a control module, a second drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit includes: a caliper control circuit formed by a first communication module, a control module, a second drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence, and a caliper control circuit formed by a second communication module, a control module, a second drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence.

[0078] If the fault source is the connection line between the control module and the first drive module, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0079] If the target strategy is the first strategy and the target transmission path is the first transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the second transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the control module, the second drive module, the H-bridge assembly and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the third transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, the control module, the second drive module, the H-bridge assembly and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0080] In the event that the connection line between the control module and the first drive module fails, resulting in a parking brake system failure, not only can the user actively control the rear wheel calipers to park or unpark the vehicle, but the vehicle can also automatically park or unpark, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0081] In addition, when a failure occurs in the connection line between the control module and the second drive module, the method for determining the alternative caliper control circuit and the target caliper control circuit is the same as the method for determining the alternative caliper control circuit and the target caliper control circuit when a failure occurs in the connection line between the above-mentioned control module and the first drive module, and this application will not repeat it.

[0082] In one possible implementation, Figure 6 An exemplary system block diagram of a first drive module failure in the parking brake system provided by the present application is shown as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the above S120 includes the following solutions:

[0083] If the fault source is the first drive module, it means that the first caliper control circuit and the caliper control circuit including the first drive module in the second caliper control circuit cannot be used to control the rear wheel calipers. However, the caliper control circuit including the second drive module in the second caliper control circuit and the third caliper control circuit can be used to control the rear wheel calipers. The vehicle can automatically park or release the parking position, and the user can also actively control the vehicle to park or release the parking position. Therefore, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, control module, second drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the second caliper control circuit, and the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, control module, second drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit are determined as alternative caliper control circuits. Among them, the caliper control circuit formed by a single communication module, a control module, a second drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit includes: a caliper control circuit formed by a first communication module, a control module, a second drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence, and a caliper control circuit formed by a second communication module, a control module, a second drive module, an H-bridge assembly and a caliper assembly connected in sequence.

[0084] If the fault source is the first drive module, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0085] If the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the second transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, control module, second drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the third transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, control module, second drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0086] In the event that the first drive module fails, resulting in a parking brake system failure, based on the above-mentioned technical solution of selecting the target caliper control circuit, not only can the user actively control the rear wheel calipers to park or release the vehicle, but the vehicle can also automatically park or release the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

The vehicle can automatically park or release the parking position, and the user can also actively control the vehicle to park or release the parking position. Therefore, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the first caliper control circuit, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the control module, the first drive module, the H-bridge assembly, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the second caliper control circuit, and the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, the control module, the first drive module, the H-bridge assembly, and the caliper assembly connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit are determined as alternative caliper control circuits.

[0090] If the fault source is the first drive module, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0091] If the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the second transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, control module, second drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the third transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, control module, second drive module, H-bridge assembly and caliper assembly connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0092] In the event that the second drive module fails, resulting in a parking brake system failure, based on the above-mentioned technical solution of selecting the target caliper control circuit, not only can the user actively control the rear wheel calipers to park or release the vehicle, but the vehicle can also automatically park or release the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0093] In one possible implementation, Figure 8 An exemplary system block diagram of a first H-bridge module and / or first rear wheel caliper failure in the parking brake system provided by the present application is shown. Figure 8 As shown, the above S120 includes the following solutions:

[0094] If the fault source is the first H-bridge module and / or the first rear wheel caliper, it means that the first caliper control circuit cannot be used to control the rear wheel caliper. The second caliper control circuit including the second drive module and the caliper control circuit of the second rear wheel caliper, and the third caliper control circuit including the second drive module and the caliper control circuit of the second rear wheel caliper can be used to control the second rear wheel caliper. The vehicle can automatically park or release the parking, and the user can also actively control the vehicle to park or release the parking. Therefore, the parking switch, control module, second drive module, second H-bridge module and caliper control circuit of the second rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the second caliper control circuit, and the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, control module, second drive module, second H-bridge module and second rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit are determined as alternative caliper control circuits.

[0095] Among them, the caliper control circuit formed by a single communication module, a control module, a second drive module, a second H-bridge module and a second rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit includes: a caliper control circuit formed by a first communication module, a control module, a second drive module, a second H-bridge module and a second rear wheel caliper connected in sequence, and a caliper control circuit formed by a second communication module, a control module, a second drive module, a second H-bridge module and a second rear wheel caliper.

[0096] If the fault source is the first H-bridge module and / or the first rear wheel caliper, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0097] If the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the second transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, control module, second drive module, second H-bridge module and second rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the third transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, control module, second drive module, second H-bridge module and second rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0098] In the event that the first H-bridge module and / or the first rear wheel caliper fails, resulting in a parking brake system failure, based on the above-mentioned technical solution of selecting the target caliper control circuit, not only can the user actively control the rear wheel caliper to park or release the vehicle, but the vehicle can also automatically park or release the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0099] In one possible implementation, Figure 9 FIG. 1 shows an exemplary system block diagram of a second H-bridge module and / or a second rear wheel caliper failure in the parking brake system provided by the present application. Figure 9 As shown, the above S120 includes the following solutions:

[0100] If the fault source is the second H-bridge module and / or the second rear wheel caliper, it means that the first caliper control circuit can be used. The second caliper control circuit includes the first drive module and the caliper control circuit of the first rear wheel caliper, and the third caliper control circuit includes the first drive module and the caliper control circuit of the first rear wheel caliper to control the first rear wheel caliper. The vehicle can automatically park or release the vehicle, and the user can also actively control the vehicle to park or release the vehicle. Therefore, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module, and the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the first caliper control circuit; the parking switch, the control module, the second drive module, the first drive module, and the caliper control circuit of the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the second caliper control circuit; and the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, the control module, the second drive module, the first drive module, and the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit are determined as alternative caliper control circuits.

[0101] Among them, the caliper control circuit formed by a single communication module, a control module, a second drive module, a first drive module and a first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the third caliper control circuit includes: a caliper control circuit formed by the first communication module, the control module, the second drive module, the first drive module and the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence, and a caliper control circuit formed by the second communication module, the control module, the second drive module, the first drive module and the first rear wheel caliper.

[0102] If the fault source is the first H-bridge module and / or the first rear wheel caliper, the above S150 includes the following solutions:

[0103] If the target strategy is the first strategy and the target transmission path is the first transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the first drive module, the first H-bridge module and the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the second transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the parking switch, the control module, the second drive module, the first H-bridge module and the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit; if the target strategy is the second strategy and the target transmission path is the third transmission path, the caliper control circuit formed by the single communication module, the control module, the second drive module, the first H-bridge module and the first rear wheel caliper connected in sequence in the alternative caliper control circuit is determined as the target caliper control circuit.

[0104] In the event that the second H-bridge module and / or the second rear wheel caliper fails, resulting in a parking brake system failure, based on the above-mentioned technical solution of selecting the target caliper control circuit, not only can the user actively control the rear wheel caliper to park or release the vehicle, but the vehicle can also automatically park or release the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0105] Based on the target caliper control circuit selection scheme corresponding to the above-mentioned different fault points, if the parking brake system fails due to a failure of any of the control module, the connection line between the control module and the first drive module, or a single communication module, the vehicle can achieve 30% slope parking; if the parking brake system fails due to a failure of a single H-bridge module and / or a single rear wheel caliper, the vehicle can achieve 8% slope parking. In this way, even if the parking brake system fails, the vehicle can still be parked or contact parked, thereby improving the reliability and safety of vehicle parking.

[0106] In one possible implementation, the vehicle control method further includes:

[0107] In the event of a parking brake system failure, if it is detected that the parking brake system fault light is on, a prompt message is output; wherein, the prompt message reminds the user that the vehicle has enabled the alternative caliper control circuit that does not include the fault source to control the rear axle wheel caliper, and the vehicle can perform the parking operation normally.

[0108] Usually, once a parking brake system fails, a parking brake system failure signal will be displayed on the vehicle's display screen, that is, the parking brake system fault light will be turned on. Considering that the user sees that the parking brake system fault light is on, and thus worries that the vehicle cannot be parked and panics, if the parking brake system fails, if it is detected that the parking brake system fault light is on, a prompt message will be output, reminding the user that the vehicle has enabled an alternative caliper control circuit that does not include the fault source to control the rear axle wheel caliper, and the vehicle can perform the parking operation normally. In other words, the user is informed that the hardware module in the parking brake system is redundantly designed, and there are many caliper control circuits for controlling the rear wheel calipers. After the parking brake system fails, the redundant control circuit has been enabled, and the vehicle can still be parked normally, thereby eliminating the user's worries.
