[0071] In order to make the inventive concept of the present application easy to understand, before describing the embodiments of the present application in detail, the English abbreviations (terms) / related concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application are first described. The English abbreviations (terms) / related concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application are subject to the following explanations.

[0072] Tire slip angle: Tire slip angle is an important factor affecting the lateral force of the tire, which is defined as the angle between the wheel plane and the direction of movement of the wheel center.

[0073] Tire cornering stiffness: Tire cornering stiffness refers to the lateral force required to produce a unit slip angle.

[0074] The vehicle stability system is of great significance to the vehicle's driving stability and safety. Tire performance is of great significance in the development of the vehicle stability system, and its characteristics determine the control boundaries of the vehicle stability control system.

[0075] Tire force is the fundamental reason for vehicle movement. The mechanical properties of tires vary greatly under different wear conditions. The wear state of the tire tread has a very important influence on the mechanical properties of the tire. Accurately identifying the wear state of the tire is an important step in accurately obtaining the performance boundary of the vehicle.

[0076] With the development of tire dynamics research, a dynamic model that can express the mechanical characteristics of tires under different wear conditions has been developed. However, a tread wear estimation method based on the tire dynamics theory has not been proposed. The current tread wear estimation algorithms include adding an acceleration sensor to collect acceleration information and then using an estimation algorithm based on the acceleration information, and using a camera sensor to collect tire visual information and using a vision-based estimation algorithm. However, these estimation methods are costly and have low practical application value.

[0077] In view of this, the present application proposes a method, device, equipment and vehicle for determining the amount of tire tread wear. The scheme obtains vehicle driving state information and tire state information; determines the tire's lateral stiffness according to the vehicle driving state information and tire state information; and determines the amount of tire tread wear based on the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the basic tire pattern depth information combined with the lateral stiffness. The embodiment of the present application determines the tire's lateral stiffness through the vehicle driving state information and tire state information, and determines the amount of tire tread wear through the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the basic tire pattern depth information combined with the previously determined tire lateral stiffness, which can improve the estimation accuracy of the tire tread wear.

[0078] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, wherein the electronic device can be a terminal or a server.

[0079] The terminal may be a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a car computer, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0080] The server can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0081] The following will describe in detail the implementation steps of a method for determining tire tread wear amount provided by an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for determining the amount of tire tread wear provided for some embodiments of the present application; it should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0083] The method of the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0084] Step 101: Acquire vehicle driving status information and tire status information;

[0085] Step 102: determining the tire cornering stiffness according to the vehicle driving state information and the tire state information;

[0086] Step 103: Determine the wear amount of the tire tread based on the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tire pattern depth information in combination with the cornering stiffness.

[0087] In steps 101 to 103 shown in the embodiment of the present application, the cornering stiffness of the tire is determined through the vehicle driving status information and the tire status information, and the tire tread wear is determined through the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the tire basic pattern depth information combined with the previously determined tire cornering stiffness, which can improve the estimation accuracy of the tire tread wear.

[0088] The specific implementation methods of the above steps are introduced below.

[0089] In step 101, vehicle driving state information and tire state information are obtained.

[0090] During vehicle driving, vehicle driving status information and tire status information can be collected and acquired. Thereafter, the tire tread wear amount can be determined based on the acquired vehicle driving status information and tire status information. The specific determination method can be found in the following embodiments of the present application.

[0091] The vehicle driving status information may include information that directly or indirectly participates in the method of determining the tread wear of the tire. This information may include the vehicle mass, vehicle wheelbase, vehicle front and rear axle track, vehicle center of mass position, vehicle speed, vehicle lateral acceleration, vehicle longitudinal acceleration, steering wheel angle and / or steering system transmission ratio.

[0092] The tire status information may include information that directly or indirectly participates in the tire tread wear determination method, and such information may include four wheel rolling speeds, four wheel tire pressures, and / or four wheel temperatures.

[0093] It should be understood that information directly involved in the method for determining the tread wear of the tire generally refers to information directly involved in the method for determining the tread wear, that is, information that can be intuitively seen in the method for determining the tread wear; information indirectly involved in the method for determining the tread wear of the tire generally refers to information that is not directly involved in the method for determining the tread wear, but will participate in the calculation of information that affects the tread wear of the tire.

[0094] The vehicle driving state information can be obtained through the vehicle-mounted sensors. For example, the vehicle's driving speed can be obtained through the speed sensor; the acceleration of the vehicle in all directions can be measured through the acceleration sensor to obtain the acceleration and deceleration state and tilt of the vehicle; the yaw rate and roll angle of the vehicle can be obtained by detecting the rotational movement of the vehicle through the gyroscope; the steering angle of the steering wheel can be measured through the steering angle sensor to obtain the steering state of the vehicle; the vehicle's motion state and direction information can also be obtained through the inertial measurement unit (IMU); the working state information of each system of the vehicle can also be obtained through the controller area network (CAN). The obtained vehicle status information can be directly displayed on the vehicle display screen, and the data can be sent to the corresponding vehicle control system to calculate the tread wear of the tire. These data can also be sent to a remote server for vehicle tracking, maintenance reminders or data analysis.

[0095] Tire status information can be obtained through tire pressure monitoring systems and / or vehicle-mounted sensors. For example, for a direct tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure and temperature can be directly measured by sensors installed in the tires, and the data can be transmitted to the vehicle's dashboard, information display screen and corresponding vehicle control system; for an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure status can be inferred by comparing the speed difference between the tires through wheel speed sensors. Tire temperature patches can be used to stick them on the tires. They can record the temperature changes of the tires within a certain period of time. After that, the temperature data of the tires can be obtained wirelessly or directly read.

[0096] The embodiment provided in the present application provides data support for the subsequent determination of the tread wear of the tire by acquiring vehicle driving status information and tire status information.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, after obtaining the vehicle driving status information and tire status information, the tire tread wear condition indication information can also be determined based on the vehicle driving status information and the tire status information; if the tire tread wear condition indication information indicates that the current tire driving status meets the tire tread wear calculation conditions, then the tire tread wear amount calculation function is triggered.

[0098] It should be understood that the calculation of tire tread wear is not always carried out, and usually certain conditions need to be met. This condition can be judged by the vehicle driving state information and tire state information. Usually, tire tread wear condition indication information is set to determine whether the calculation of tire tread wear is satisfied. This indication information can be used to indicate whether the current tire driving state (vehicle driving state information and tire state information) satisfies the tire tread wear calculation condition. If the indication information indicates that the current tire driving state satisfies the tire tread wear calculation condition, then the tire tread wear calculation function will be triggered. The tire tread wear is calculated by the tire tread wear calculation function.

[0099] For example, if the vehicle's driving status information and tire status information are obtained to determine that the vehicle is shaking or has other handling problems, the tire wear can be calculated to determine whether the balance problem is caused by uneven wear; when the vehicle moves from a dry road environment to a rainy or snowy environment, it may be necessary to re-evaluate the tire wear; when the vehicle's driving status changes, such as making a sharp turn while driving at high speed, the tire tread wear calculation function needs to be triggered.

[0100] It should be understood that after the calculation function of the tire tread wear is triggered, the vehicle will start to determine the tire tread wear. The method for determining the tire tread wear can be to determine the tire's lateral stiffness based on the acquired vehicle driving state information and tire state information, and then determine the tire tread wear based on the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire basic pattern depth information combined with the lateral stiffness. More detailed implementation steps can be found in the description of the following embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the tire tread wear calculation conditions include a vehicle speed greater than a preset speed and a steering wheel angle greater than a preset angle. If the tire tread wear condition indication information indicates that the vehicle's driving speed is greater than a preset speed and the vehicle's steering wheel angle is greater than a preset angle, the tire tread wear calculation function is triggered.

[0102] For example, the preset speed may be 60 km / h; the preset angle may be 90°. It should be understood that the preset vehicle speed and the preset angle may be flexibly set according to the actual vehicle condition and road condition, and the present application does not limit this.

[0103] For example, during vehicle driving, if the vehicle speed is greater than 60 km / h and the steering wheel angle is greater than 90°, the tire tread wear calculation function is triggered to calculate the tire wear.

[0104] The embodiment provided in the present application determines tire tread wear condition indication information through vehicle driving status information and tire status information; if the tire tread wear condition indication information indicates that the current tire driving status satisfies the tire tread wear calculation conditions, then the tire tread wear amount calculation function is triggered. The tire tread wear amount calculation function can be triggered under certain conditions during vehicle driving, and the tire tread wear amount can be calculated. The calculation result can be sent to the vehicle decision unit to improve the safety of vehicle driving.

[0105] In step 102, the cornering stiffness of the tire is determined according to the vehicle driving state information and the tire state information.

[0106] In some embodiments, the tire status information includes tire temperature, and the tire lateral force and tire slip angle can be determined based on the vehicle driving status information, and the tire cornering stiffness can be determined by the tire lateral force and tire slip angle; or, the tire cornering stiffness can be determined based on the vertical load and tire temperature.

[0107] Determining the cornering stiffness of a tire by using the tire lateral force and the tire slip angle can be done by fitting the parameters in the magic formula by means of experimental data, and then solving the cornering stiffness by means of the magic formula.

[0108] The magic formula is a mathematical model used to describe the mechanical behavior of tires. It can relatively simply simulate the behavior of tires under different operating conditions, including: longitudinal forces of the tire (acceleration and braking), lateral forces of the tire (steering), self-steering effects of the tire (such as the steering effect of the tire when the vehicle turns), and longitudinal and lateral stiffness of the tire.

[0109] The tire's cornering stiffness can be determined by the tire's lateral force and the tire's slip angle. Alternatively, the tire's cornering stiffness can be obtained by using linear regression or other mathematical methods to fit data and establish a model in an experimental manner. Specifically, the slip angle data under different lateral forces can be recorded in an experimental manner, and a relationship diagram between the lateral force (Fy) and the slip angle (α) can be drawn. The relationship diagram can be fitted to determine a model of the tire's cornering stiffness, and this model is related to the tire's lateral force and the slip angle.

[0110] Determining the cornering stiffness of a tire by vertical load and tire temperature can be done by fitting a function to experimental data to describe the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the vertical load. It should be understood that the vertical load has a significant effect on the cornering stiffness of the tire. Generally, as the vertical load increases, the cornering stiffness of the tire also increases. Thereafter, a function is fitted to the experimental data to describe the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the temperature. The effects of the vertical load and temperature are combined to form a comprehensive model, and the parameters of the model are adjusted according to the experimental data to obtain the final model. It is understood that once the final model is determined, in actual use, it is only necessary to input the vertical load and the tire temperature into the model to obtain the cornering stiffness of the tire.

[0111] The tire's cornering stiffness can also be determined by the tire's lateral force and the tire's slip angle, and the tire's cornering stiffness can be determined according to the vertical load and the tire's temperature. The tire's cornering stiffness determined by one of the methods can be selected as the parameter for actually calculating the tire's tread wear, or the tire's cornering stiffness determined by the two methods can be integrated and determined to obtain the target tire's cornering stiffness as the parameter for actually calculating the tire's tread wear. The tire's cornering stiffness determined in this way is closer to the actual situation and has a higher accuracy.

[0112] In some embodiments, the driving status information of the whole vehicle includes the moment of inertia of the whole vehicle, the yaw velocity of the center of mass, the mass of the whole vehicle, the lateral acceleration of the center of mass, the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle, and the distance from the center of mass to the front axle. The lateral force of the front axle tire and the lateral force of the rear axle tire can be determined based on the moment of inertia of the whole vehicle, the yaw velocity of the center of mass, the mass of the whole vehicle, the lateral acceleration of the center of mass, the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle, and the distance from the center of mass to the front axle.

[0113] The lateral force of the front axle tire can be determined by the first sub-formula through the vehicle moment of inertia, the derivative of the center of mass yaw velocity, the vehicle mass, the center of mass lateral acceleration and the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle; the second sub-formula is determined by the sum of the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle and the distance from the center of mass to the front axle, and then the front axle tire lateral force is determined according to the quotient of the first sub-formula and the second sub-formula. Among them, the first sub-formula can first determine the third sub-formula through the product of the vehicle moment of inertia and the derivative of the center of mass yaw velocity; then, the fourth sub-formula is determined by the product of the vehicle mass, the center of mass lateral acceleration and the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle; and the first sub-formula is determined based on the sum of the third sub-formula and the fourth sub-formula.

[0114] For example, the third sub-formula can be expressed as: The fourth sub-formula can be expressed as ma y b, the first sub-formula can be expressed as: The second sub-formula can be expressed as: a+b. This can be expressed by the formula:

[0118] In some implementations, the fifth sub-formula may be determined based on the difference between the third sub-formula and the fourth sub-formula; and the rear axle tire lateral force may be determined according to the inverse of the quotient of the fifth sub-formula and the second sub-formula.

[0119] For example, the fifth sub-formula can be expressed as: It can be calculated by:

[0120]

[0121] Determine the rear axle tire lateral force.

[0122] Among them, F yr is the lateral force of the rear axle tire, I z is the vehicle moment of inertia, is the derivative of the yaw rate of the center of mass, m is the mass of the vehicle, a y is the lateral acceleration of the center of mass, a is the distance from the center of mass to the front axle, and b is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle.

[0123] In some embodiments, the tire slip angle includes a front axle slip angle and a rear axle slip angle, and the vehicle driving status information includes steering wheel angle information, center of mass lateral speed, center of mass yaw angular velocity, distance from the center of mass to the front axle, center of mass longitudinal speed and distance from the center of mass to the rear axle. The front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle can be determined based on the steering wheel angle information, center of mass lateral speed, center of mass yaw angular velocity, distance from the center of mass to the front axle, center of mass longitudinal speed and distance from the center of mass to the rear axle.

[0124] For the front axle slip angle, the sixth sub-formula can be first determined by the product of the center of mass yaw velocity and the distance from the center of mass to the front axle, and then the seventh sub-formula can be determined by the sum of the sixth sub-formula and the center of mass lateral velocity, and then the eighth sub-formula can be determined by the quotient of the seventh sub-formula and the center of mass longitudinal velocity. Finally, the front axle slip angle is determined based on the difference between the steering wheel angle information and the eighth sub-formula.

[0125] Exemplarily, the sixth sub-formula can be expressed as: ω r a, the seventh sub-formula can be expressed as: V y +ω r a. You can use the formula:

[0126]

[0127] Determine the front axle slip angle.

[0128] Among them, α f is the front axle slip angle, δ is the steering wheel angle information, V y is the lateral velocity of the center of mass, ω r is the yaw rate of the center of mass, a is the distance from the center of mass to the front axle, V x is the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

[0129] For the rear axle slip angle, the ninth sub-formula can be determined by the product of the center of mass yaw velocity and the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle; the tenth sub-formula is determined by the difference between the center of mass lateral velocity and the ninth sub-formula; and the rear axle slip angle is determined by the inverse of the quotient of the tenth sub-formula and the center of mass longitudinal velocity.

[0130] For example, the ninth sub-formula can be expressed as: bω r , the tenth sub-formula can be expressed as: V y -bω r . It can be calculated by the formula:

[0131]

[0132] Determine the rear axle slip angle.

[0133] Among them, α r is the rear axle slip angle, V y is the lateral velocity of the center of mass, ω r is the yaw rate of the center of mass, b is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle, V x is the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

[0134] After determining the lateral force of the front and rear axles and the sideslip angles of the front and rear axles, the cornering stiffness of the tire can be determined by the lateral force and the sideslip angle.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present application, the cornering stiffness of the tire is determined by the whole vehicle driving state information and the tire state information, so that the calculation accuracy of the cornering stiffness of the tire can be improved, the calculation method is simple, and the workload is small.

[0136] In step 103, the wear amount of the tire tread is determined based on the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tire pattern depth information in combination with the cornering stiffness.

[0137] In some embodiments, the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tread depth information of the tire can be first determined, and then the cornering stiffness of the tire can be substituted into the relationship to obtain the tread depth information of the tire; and the wear amount of the tire tread can be determined by the difference between the basic tread depth information of the tire and the tread depth information of the tire.

[0138] The wear amount of the tire tread generally refers to the degree of wear of the tire tread pattern. The wear amount of the tire tread is generally measured by the tread depth. Therefore, the wear amount of the tire tread can be determined by the tire tread depth information. Exemplarily, the wear amount of the tire tread can be obtained by subtracting the current tread depth (tire tread depth information) from the initial tread depth (tire basic tread depth information). It should be understood that the smaller the wear amount, the less the tire wear, and the performance and life of the tire may be longer, and the larger the wear amount, the more the tire wear, and the performance and life of the tire may be shorter.

[0139] In some embodiments, the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tire tread depth information can be determined in the following manner: first, the eleventh sub-formula is determined by the product of the proportional factor and the basic tire tread depth information, then the twelfth sub-formula is determined by the product of the first-order attenuation factor and the basic tire tread depth information, and the sum of the square of the basic tire tread depth information and the attenuation factor, and finally, the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tire tread depth information is determined by the quotient of the eleventh sub-formula and the twelfth sub-formula, wherein the proportional factor, the first-order attenuation factor and the attenuation factor are initial calibration data of parameters related to tire wear. It should be understood that these initial calibration data can be obtained by adjusting the parameters in the experiment based on actual vehicle tests to obtain initial calibration data of parameters related to tire wear.

[0140] For example, the eleventh sub-formula can be expressed as: A0h, where A0 is the proportional factor and h is the basic tire tread depth information. The twelfth sub-formula can be expressed as: h 2 +B0h+C0, where B0 is the first-order attenuation factor and C0 is the attenuation factor. The relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tread depth information of the tire can be expressed by the formula:

[0141]

[0142] Defined as follows. y is the cornering stiffness.

[0143] It should be understood that after determining the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tread depth information of the tire, the tread depth information of the tire corresponding to the determined cornering stiffness data can be solved based on the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tread depth information of the tire using the cornering stiffness data determined in the above embodiment, and then the amount of tire tread wear can be calculated using the difference between the basic tread depth information of the tire and the solved tread depth information of the tire.

[0144] For example, it is assumed that the initial tread depth (basic tread depth information of the tire) provided by the tire manufacturer is 10 mm, and the tread depth of the tire determined according to the cornering stiffness is 5 mm.

[0145] Then: Wear amount = initial tread depth - current tread depth;

[0146] Wear amount = 10 mm - 5 mm;

[0147] Wear amount = 5 mm;

[0148] That is, if the tire has been worn 5 mm, it means that the tire has been worn 50%.

[0149] The embodiments provided in the present application determine the amount of tire tread wear by combining the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tire pattern depth information with the cornering stiffness, which can reduce the amount of data processing, simplify the method for identifying the amount of tire tread wear, improve the accuracy of identifying the amount of tire tread wear, and provide a basis for vehicle performance analysis over the entire life cycle.

[0150] A specific application example based on the embodiment of the present application may be:

[0151] During the driving process of the vehicle, the vehicle will obtain information about the driving state through the sensor equipment carried by the vehicle according to a preset time period. This information may include the vehicle mass, the vehicle wheelbase, the front and rear axle track of the vehicle, the center of mass of the vehicle, the vehicle speed, the vehicle lateral acceleration, the vehicle longitudinal acceleration, the steering wheel angle, the steering system transmission ratio, the rolling speed of the four wheels, the tire pressure of the four wheels and / or the temperature of the four wheels, etc. It should be understood that the time period for obtaining this information may be different.

[0152] When the vehicle's driving state changes, such as when making a sharp turn while driving at high speed (vehicle speed is greater than 60km / h and the steering wheel angle is greater than 90°), the vehicle will trigger the calculation function of the tire tread wear. After the calculation function of the tire tread wear is triggered, the vehicle will start to determine the tire tread wear and send the determination result to the vehicle decision unit to improve the safety of vehicle driving.

[0153] The amount of tire tread wear can be calculated by the cornering stiffness. Specifically, the amount of tire tread wear can be determined based on the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the tire basic pattern depth information combined with the cornering stiffness.

[0154] The relationship between cornering stiffness and tire basic tread depth information can be expressed as:

[0155]

[0156] Among them, A0 is the proportional factor, h is the basic tire pattern depth information, B0 is the first-order attenuation factor, C0 is the attenuation factor, K y is the cornering stiffness.

[0157] The cornering stiffness data determined during vehicle driving can be used to solve the tire tread depth information corresponding to the determined cornering stiffness data based on the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tread depth information of the tire, and then the tire tread wear amount can be calculated based on the difference between the basic tread depth information of the tire and the solved tread depth information of the tire.

[0158] In the relationship between cornering stiffness and basic tire tread depth information, the basic tire tread depth information is usually known, and the proportional factor, first-order attenuation factor and attenuation factor are initial calibration data of tire wear-related parameters, which are usually stored in the vehicle as vehicle-specific parameters. Therefore, the wear of the tire tread can be calculated by simply determining the cornering stiffness during vehicle driving.

[0159] The cornering stiffness of a vehicle during driving can be calculated using the tire lateral force and the tire slip angle.

[0160] The tire lateral force can be calculated by the formula:

[0161]

[0162] Calculate. Among them, F yf is the lateral force of the front axle tire, F yr is the lateral force of the rear axle tire, I z is the vehicle moment of inertia, is the derivative of the yaw rate of the center of mass, m is the mass of the vehicle, a y is the lateral acceleration of the center of mass, a is the distance from the center of mass to the front axle, and b is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle.

[0163] The tire slip angle can be calculated by the formula:

[0164]

[0165] Calculate. Among them, α f is the front axle tire slip angle, δ is the steering wheel angle information, V y is the lateral velocity of the center of mass, ω r is the yaw rate of the center of mass, a is the distance from the center of mass to the front axle, α r is the side slip angle of the rear axle tire, b is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle, V x is the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

[0166] After calculating the tire lateral force and tire slip angle, the cornering stiffness can be solved using the magic formula.

[0167] After determining the cornering stiffness of the vehicle during driving, the vehicle can determine the amount of tire tread wear by combining the cornering stiffness during driving of the vehicle with the relationship between the cornering stiffness and the basic tire tread depth information.

[0168] The embodiment of the present application determines the tire's lateral stiffness by acquiring vehicle driving status information and tire status information, and determines the tire tread wear amount by combining the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire basic pattern depth information with the previously determined tire lateral stiffness, thereby improving the estimation accuracy of the tire tread wear amount.

The tire status information is obtained through the tire information module, and the tire status information may include rolling speed, tire pressure and tire temperature. The obtained vehicle status information and tire status information are input into the function trigger module (i.e., the function trigger module for calculating the tire tread wear amount). When the function of calculating the tire tread wear amount is triggered, the tire lateral force is calculated through the tire lateral force calculation module, the tire slip angle is calculated through the tire slip angle calculation module, the tire pressure information is obtained through the tire pressure processing module, and the tire temperature information is obtained through the tire temperature processing module.
