Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle braking technology, and in particular to a vehicle ABS parameter optimization system and method for multiple working conditions. Background Art

[0002] Vehicle anti-lock braking systems (ABS) prevent wheel lock by controlling slip, ensuring braking stability and directional control. However, existing ABS controller parameters are manually calibrated and then recalibrated, failing to fully consider the impact of varying road surface types and braking conditions on system performance. This approach suffers from the following drawbacks:

[0003] (1) The target slip rate cannot change with the road surface type: The road adhesion coefficient and wheel state under different road surface types (such as dry road surface, wet road surface, and icy and snowy road surface) vary significantly. The optimal target slip rate should change dynamically with the change of road surface type.

[0004] (2) Controller parameters cannot adapt to changes in operating conditions: Under different operating conditions, the response speed of the controller with fixed parameters to the slip rate varies. The response lag under certain conditions may lead to increased braking distance or vehicle loss of control.

[0005] (3) Manual calibration is time-consuming: Traditional ABS controller parameters require a large amount of experimental data for parameter calibration, which results in a long debugging cycle and poor adaptability.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology that can dynamically optimize ABS parameters according to different working conditions, so that the ABS system has adaptive capabilities and performs well under different working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The execution module is configured to receive and execute the target braking force command sent by the slip rate tracking module;

[0016] The parameter optimization module is further used to obtain the optimal values ​​of the target slip rate influencing factor and the controller parameters through iterative training.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, initial values ​​of the factors affecting the target wheel slip rate, such as the wheel longitudinal speed, steering angle, road adhesion coefficient, and road type, are randomly given. The initial value of the target wheel slip rate is calculated according to the following formula and is limited to between 0.1 and 0.3.

[0053]

[0056] Randomly initialize the policy networks of the first and second agents.

[0057] Among them, the first intelligent agent is used to optimize the influencing factor of the target slip rate.

[0058] The second agent is used to optimize the parameters of the slip tracking controller.

[0059] Among them, the state space of the first agent is defined as The action space is defined as {λ,ε,η,ξ j}, the reward function is designed as {-a1L-a2[(o>0.5)|(o<0)]}. Among them, v0 is the initial braking velocity; L is the braking distance; a1 is the braking distance penalty function; and a2 is the penalty function for the target slip rate exceeding the normal range.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle speed and tire pressure are constant, the tire noise characteristics of the vehicle when traveling on different road surfaces are different. The road type is identified based on the vehicle speed, tire pressure and the tire noise characteristics.

[0063] The vehicle tire noise characteristics include but are not limited to main sound frequency and decibels.

With the rapid advancement of drive-by-wire chassis and autonomous driving technologies, the uncertainty of vehicle driving conditions has greatly increased. As the carrier of higher-level technologies such as autonomous driving, the vehicle chassis's adaptability to dynamic environments is becoming increasingly important, especially for braking safety under complex road conditions. Implementing this multi-condition ABS parameter optimization method can significantly improve vehicle braking performance under various conditions, providing crucial safety protection for both occupants and the vehicle itself, especially in extreme conditions such as emergency braking and on slippery, icy, or snowy roads.

This method utilizes operating-condition identification and artificial intelligence algorithms to adjust the target slip ratio and optimize ABS controller parameters. This method adaptively adjusts ABS control parameters based on various operating conditions, improving braking performance, shortening braking distance, and effectively preventing vehicle loss of control or wheel locking.
