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

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

[0074] Vehicle stability systems are of great importance to vehicle driving stability and safety. Tire performance plays a significant role in the development of vehicle stability systems, and its characteristics determine the control boundaries of the vehicle stability control system.

[0075] Tire force is the fundamental cause of vehicle motion. The mechanical properties of tires vary greatly under different wear conditions, and the tire tread wear state has a very important impact on tire mechanical properties. Accurately identifying the tire wear state is a crucial step in accurately obtaining the vehicle's performance limits.

[0076] With the development of tire dynamics research, dynamic models that can express the mechanical properties of tires under different wear conditions have been developed. However, no estimation method for tread wear based on tire dynamics theory has been proposed. Currently, estimation algorithms for tread wear include algorithms that add acceleration sensors to collect acceleration information and then estimate based on acceleration information, and algorithms that use camera sensors to collect tire visual information and then estimate based on vision. However, these estimation methods are costly and have low practical application value.

[0077] In view of this, this application proposes a method, apparatus, device, and vehicle for determining tire tread wear. This solution acquires vehicle driving status information and tire status information; determines the tire's lateral stiffness based on the vehicle driving status information and tire status information; and determines the tire tread wear based on the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire's basic tread depth information, combined with the lateral stiffness. The embodiments of this application determine the tire's lateral stiffness using vehicle driving status information and tire status information, and determine the tire tread wear by combining the previously determined lateral stiffness with the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire's basic tread depth information, thereby improving the estimation accuracy of tire tread wear.

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

[0079] The terminal can be a tablet computer, a laptop computer, an in-vehicle computer, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0080] A server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting 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 communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0081] The implementation steps of a method for determining tire tread wear provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates a method for determining tire tread wear in some embodiments of this application. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart 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 a different order than that shown here.

[0083] The method of the embodiments of this application includes the following steps:

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

[0085] Step 102: Determine the lateral stiffness of the tires based on the vehicle driving status information and tire status information;

[0086] Step 103: Determine the wear amount of the tire tread based on the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire basic tread depth information, combined with lateral stiffness.

[0087] Steps 101 to 103 as shown in the embodiments of this application determine the lateral stiffness of the tire through the vehicle driving status information and tire status information, and determine the tire tread wear by combining the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire basic tread depth information with the previously determined tire lateral stiffness, which can improve the estimation accuracy of tire tread wear.

[0088] The specific implementation methods for each of the above steps are described below.

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

[0090] During vehicle operation, vehicle driving status information and tire status information can be collected. Then, the tire tread wear can be determined based on the collected vehicle driving status information and tire status information. For specific determination methods, please refer to the following embodiments in this application.

[0091] Vehicle driving status information may include information that directly or indirectly relates to the method for determining tire tread wear, such as vehicle weight, wheelbase, track width between the front and rear axles, center of gravity position, vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, steering wheel angle, and / or steering system transmission ratio.

[0092] Tire condition information may include information that directly or indirectly relates to the method for determining tire tread wear, such as the rolling speed of the four wheels, the tire pressure of the four tires, and / or the temperature of the four wheels.

[0093] It should be understood that information directly involved in the determination of tire tread wear usually refers to information that is directly involved in the determination of tire tread wear, that is, information that can be directly seen in the determination of tire tread wear; information indirectly involved in the determination of tire tread wear usually refers to information that is not directly involved in the determination of tire tread wear, but is involved in the calculation of information that affects tire tread wear.

[0094] Vehicle driving status information can be acquired through onboard sensors. For example, a speed sensor can acquire the vehicle's speed; an accelerometer can measure the vehicle's acceleration in various directions to obtain its acceleration / deceleration and tilt status; a gyroscope can detect the vehicle's rotational motion to obtain its yaw rate and roll angle; a steering angle sensor can measure the steering wheel angle to obtain the vehicle's steering status; an inertial measurement unit (IMU) can also acquire the vehicle's motion status and direction information; and a Controller Area Network (CAN) can acquire the operating status information of various vehicle systems. The acquired vehicle status information can be directly displayed on the onboard screen, and the data can also be sent to the corresponding vehicle control system for tire tread wear calculations. This data can also be sent to a remote server for vehicle tracking, maintenance reminders, or data analysis.

[0095] Tire condition information can be obtained through a tire pressure monitoring system and / or onboard sensors. For example, a direct tire pressure monitoring system can directly measure tire pressure and temperature using sensors installed inside the tire and transmit the data to the vehicle's dashboard, information display screen, and corresponding vehicle control system. An indirect tire pressure monitoring system can infer tire pressure by comparing the rotational speed differences between tires using wheel speed sensors. Tire temperature patches can be attached to the tires and record tire temperature changes over a period of time; the tire temperature data can then be acquired wirelessly or directly.

[0096] The embodiments provided in this application provide data support for subsequently determining the tread wear of tires by acquiring vehicle driving status information and tire status information.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, after obtaining vehicle driving status information and tire status information, tire tread wear condition indication information can be determined based on the vehicle driving status information and 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 tire tread wear calculation is not performed continuously; it typically requires certain conditions to be met. These conditions can be determined using vehicle driving status information and tire condition information. Usually, a tire tread wear condition indicator is set to show whether the current tire driving status (vehicle driving status information and tire condition information) meets the tire tread wear calculation conditions. If the indicator indicates that the current tire driving status meets the tire tread wear calculation conditions, then the tire tread wear calculation function will be triggered. The tire tread wear will then be calculated using this function.

[0099] For example, if the vehicle is found to be vibrating or experiencing other handling problems by obtaining vehicle driving status information and tire status information, the tire wear can be calculated to determine whether uneven wear has caused a balance problem. When the vehicle is moved from a dry road environment to a rainy or snowy environment, it may be necessary to reassess the tire wear. When the vehicle's driving status changes, such as when making a sharp turn at high speed, the tire tread wear calculation function needs to be triggered.

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

[0101] In some embodiments of this 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 speed is greater than the preset speed and the vehicle steering wheel angle is greater than the preset angle, then the tire tread wear calculation function is triggered.

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

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

[0104] The embodiments provided in this application determine 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 meets the tire tread wear calculation conditions, then the tire tread wear calculation function is triggered. The tire tread wear calculation function can be triggered under certain conditions during vehicle driving to calculate the tire tread wear. The calculation results can be sent to the vehicle decision unit to improve vehicle driving safety.

[0105] In step 102, the lateral stiffness of the tire is determined based on the vehicle driving status information and the tire status information.

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

[0107] The lateral stiffness of a tire can be determined by fitting the parameters in the magic formula to experimental data and then solving for the lateral stiffness using the magic formula.

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

[0109] Tire lateral stiffness can also be determined by using tire lateral force and tire slip angle to fit data and build a model through experiments. Specifically, slip angle data under different lateral forces can be recorded experimentally, and a graph showing the relationship between lateral force (Fy) and slip angle (α) can be plotted. Fitting this graph can determine a model of tire lateral stiffness, which is related to the tire's lateral force and slip angle.

[0110] Determining tire lateral stiffness using vertical load and tire temperature can be achieved by fitting a function to experimental data to describe the relationship between lateral stiffness and vertical load. It should be understood that vertical load has a significant impact on tire lateral stiffness. Generally, as the vertical load increases, the tire lateral stiffness also increases. Then, a function is fitted using experimental data to describe the relationship between lateral stiffness and temperature. The effects of vertical load and temperature are combined to form a comprehensive model, and the model parameters are adjusted based on experimental data to obtain the final model. Understandably, once the final model is determined, in practical use, only the vertical load and tire temperature need to be input into the model to obtain the tire lateral stiffness.

[0111] The tire's lateral stiffness can also be determined separately using the tire's lateral force and tire slip angle, or determined based on vertical load and tire temperature. The lateral stiffness determined by one of these methods can be used as the parameter for calculating tire tread wear, or the lateral stiffness determined by both methods can be combined to arrive at a target lateral stiffness for calculating tire tread wear. The lateral stiffness determined in this way is closer to reality and has higher accuracy.

[0112] In some implementations, the vehicle driving status information includes the vehicle's moment of inertia, center of gravity yaw rate, vehicle mass, center of gravity lateral acceleration, distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle, and distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. The lateral forces of the front axle tires and the rear axle tires can be determined based on the vehicle's moment of inertia, center of gravity yaw rate, vehicle mass, center of gravity lateral acceleration, distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle, and distance from the center of gravity to the front axle.

[0113] The lateral force on the front axle tires can be determined by: first formula based on the vehicle's moment of inertia, derivative of the center of gravity's yaw rate, vehicle mass, lateral acceleration of the center of gravity, and distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle; second formula based on the sum of the distances from the center of gravity to the rear axle and the distances from the center of gravity to the front axle; and finally, the lateral force on the front axle tires determined by the quotient of the first and second formulas. Specifically, the first formula can be used to first determine the third formula by multiplying the vehicle's moment of inertia by the derivative of the center of gravity's yaw rate; then, the fourth formula is determined by multiplying the vehicle mass, lateral acceleration of the center of gravity, and distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle; and the first formula is determined based on the sum of the third and fourth formulas.

[0114] For example, the third sub-formula can be expressed as: The fourth sub-equation can be expressed as The first sub-expression can be represented as: The second sub-equation can be expressed as: It can be done through a formula:

[0115]

[0116] Determine the lateral force of the front axle tires.

[0117] in, The lateral force of the front axle tires. The moment of inertia of the entire vehicle. The derivative of the yaw rate of the center of mass. For the overall vehicle quality, It is the lateral acceleration of the center of mass. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. It is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle.

[0118] In some implementations, the fifth sub-equation can be determined based on the difference between the third and fourth sub-equations; the lateral force of the rear axle tires can be determined based on the opposite of the quotient of the fifth and second sub-equations.

[0119] For example, the fifth sub-expression can be represented as: It can be done through a formula:

[0120]

[0121] Determine the lateral force of the rear axle tires.

[0122] in, The lateral force of the rear axle tires. The moment of inertia of the entire vehicle. The derivative of the yaw rate of the center of mass. For the overall vehicle quality, It is the lateral acceleration of the center of mass. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. It is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle.

[0123] In some implementations, the tire slip angle includes the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle. The vehicle driving status information includes steering wheel angle information, center of gravity lateral velocity, center of gravity yaw rate, distance from center of gravity to the front axle, center of gravity longitudinal velocity, and distance from center of gravity 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 gravity lateral velocity, center of gravity yaw rate, distance from center of gravity to the front axle, longitudinal velocity, and distance from center of gravity to the rear axle.

[0124] For the front axle sideslip angle, the sixth sub-equation can be determined first by multiplying the yaw rate of the center of gravity by the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. Then, the seventh sub-equation can be determined by summing the sixth sub-equation and the lateral velocity of the center of gravity. Next, the eighth sub-equation can be determined by quotient of the seventh sub-equation and the longitudinal velocity of the center of gravity. Finally, the front axle sideslip angle is determined by the difference between the steering wheel angle information and the eighth sub-equation.

[0125] For example, the sixth sub-expression can be represented as: The seventh sub-equation can be expressed as: It can be done through a formula:

[0126]

[0127] Determine the front axle slip angle.

[0128] in, Front axle side slip angle, It's steering wheel angle information. It is the lateral velocity of the center of mass. It is the yaw rate of the center of mass. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. It is the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

[0129] For the rear axle sideslip angle, the ninth sub-equation can be determined by multiplying the yaw rate of the center of mass and the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle; the tenth sub-equation can be determined by the difference between the lateral velocity of the center of mass and the ninth sub-equation; and the rear axle sideslip angle can be determined by the opposite of the quotient of the tenth sub-equation and the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

[0130] For example, the ninth sub-equation can be represented as: The tenth sub-equation can be expressed as: It can be done through a formula:

[0131]

[0132] Determine the rear axle slip angle.

[0133] in, Rear axle slip angle, It is the lateral velocity of the center of mass. It is the yaw rate of the center of mass. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle. It is the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

[0134] After determining the lateral forces and slip angles of the front and rear axles, the lateral stiffness of the tire can be determined using these forces and slip angles.

[0135] In this embodiment, the lateral stiffness of the tire is determined by the vehicle driving status information and the tire status information, which can improve the accuracy of the calculation of the lateral stiffness of the tire. The calculation method is simple and requires little workload.

[0136] In step 103, the wear amount of the tire tread is determined based on the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire base tread depth information, combined with the lateral stiffness.

[0137] In some implementations, the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the basic tread depth information of the tire can be determined first. Then, the lateral stiffness of the tire can be substituted into the relationship to obtain the tread depth information of the tire. The wear 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] Tire tread wear typically refers to the degree of wear on the tire tread pattern. Tire tread wear is usually measured by tread depth. Therefore, the amount of tire tread wear can be determined using tire tread depth information. For example, the amount of tire tread wear can be obtained by subtracting the current tread depth (tire tread depth information) from the initial tread depth (base tread depth information). It should be understood that lower wear indicates less tire wear, potentially leading to longer tire performance and lifespan; higher wear indicates more tire wear, potentially leading to shorter tire performance and lifespan.

[0139] In some implementations, the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire base tread depth information can be determined as follows: First, an eleventh sub-equation is determined by multiplying the scaling factor by the tire base tread depth information. Then, a twelfth sub-equation is determined by multiplying the first-order attenuation factor by the tire base tread depth information, and summing the square of the tire base tread depth information with the attenuation factor. Finally, the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire base tread depth information is determined by the quotient of the eleventh and twelfth sub-equations. Here, the scaling factor, first-order attenuation factor, and attenuation factor are initial calibration data for tire wear-related parameters. It should be understood that these initial calibration data can be obtained from actual vehicle tests by adjusting the parameters in the experiment to obtain the initial calibration data for tire wear-related parameters.

[0140] For example, the eleventh sub-formula can be expressed as: A0h, where A0 is the scaling factor and h is the tire's basic 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 lateral stiffness and tire tread depth information can be expressed by the formula:

[0141] ;

[0142] Define it. Where K... y It is the lateral stiffness.

[0143] It should be understood that after determining the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire base tread depth information, the tire tread depth information corresponding to the determined lateral stiffness data can be solved based on the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire base tread depth information using the lateral stiffness data determined in the above embodiments. Then, the tire tread wear can be calculated by the difference between the tire base tread depth information and the solved tire tread depth information.

[0144] For example, suppose the initial tread depth (basic tread depth information) provided by the tire manufacturer is 10 mm, and the tread depth determined based on the lateral stiffness is 5 mm.

[0145] Therefore: Wear amount = Initial pattern depth - Current pattern depth;

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

[0147] Wear amount = 5 mm;

[0148] This means the tire has worn down by 5 millimeters, which indicates that the tire is 50% worn.

[0149] The embodiments provided in this application determine the wear amount of the tire tread by combining the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire base tread depth information with the lateral stiffness. This reduces the amount of data processing, simplifies the method for identifying tire tread wear, improves the accuracy of tire tread wear identification, and provides a basis for vehicle life cycle performance analysis.

[0150] A specific application example based on the embodiments of this application may be:

[0151] During vehicle operation, the vehicle uses its onboard sensors to acquire information about its driving status at preset time intervals. This information may include vehicle weight, wheelbase, track width, center of gravity, vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, steering wheel angle, steering system gear ratio, wheel speed, tire pressure, and / or wheel temperature. It should be understood that the time intervals for acquiring this information may vary.

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

[0153] Tire tread wear can be calculated using lateral stiffness. Specifically, tire tread wear can be determined by combining lateral stiffness with the relationship between lateral stiffness and the tire's base tread depth information.

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

[0155] ;

[0156] Where A0 is the scaling factor, h is the tire tread depth information, B0 is the first-order attenuation factor, C0 is the attenuation factor, and K... y It is the lateral stiffness.

[0157] The tire tread wear can be calculated by using the lateral stiffness data determined during vehicle operation and the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire base tread depth information. Then, the tire tread wear can be calculated by the difference between the tire base tread depth information and the calculated tire tread depth information.

[0158] In the relationship between lateral stiffness and tire base tread depth information, the tire base tread depth information is usually known. The scaling factor, first-order attenuation factor, and attenuation factor are initial calibration data of tire wear-related parameters, typically stored in the vehicle as vehicle-specific parameters. Therefore, only the lateral stiffness during vehicle operation needs to be determined to calculate the tire tread wear.

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

[0160] Tire lateral force can be calculated using the following formula:

[0161] ;

[0162] Calculation. Among them, The lateral force of the front axle tires. The lateral force of the rear axle tires. The moment of inertia of the entire vehicle. The derivative of the yaw rate of the center of mass. For the overall vehicle quality, It is the lateral acceleration of the center of mass. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. It is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle.

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

[0164] ;

[0165] Calculation. Among them, This refers to the front axle tire slip angle. It's steering wheel angle information. It is the lateral velocity of the center of mass. It is the yaw rate of the center of mass. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle. This refers to the rear axle tire slip angle. It is the distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle. It is the longitudinal velocity of the center of mass.

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

[0167] After determining the lateral stiffness during vehicle operation, the wear of the tire tread can be determined by combining the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire base tread depth information with the lateral stiffness during vehicle operation.

[0168] This application embodiment determines the tire's lateral stiffness by acquiring vehicle driving status information and tire status information, and determines the tire tread wear by combining the relationship between the lateral stiffness and the tire's basic tread depth information with the previously determined tire lateral stiffness, which can improve the estimation accuracy of tire tread wear.

[0169] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic block diagram of a tire tread wear determination system provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 In this process, the vehicle status information is obtained through the vehicle status information module, which may include vehicle mass, wheelbase, track width, center of gravity position, vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, and steering wheel angle. Tire status information is obtained through the tire information module, which may include rolling speed, tire pressure, and tire temperature. The obtained vehicle and tire status information are input into the function trigger module (i.e., the function trigger module for calculating tire tread wear). When the function for calculating tire tread wear is triggered, the tire lateral force calculation module calculates the tire lateral force, the tire slip angle calculation module calculates the tire slip angle, the tire pressure processing module obtains the tire pressure information, the tire temperature processing module obtains the tire temperature information, and finally, the tire tread wear condition recognition module determines the tire tread wear condition.
