[0047] The traditional vehicle centroid identification method has the following problems:

[0048] Static measurement limitation: Current vehicle centroid identification methods mostly rely on static measurement, which cannot adapt to real-time changes of the centroid under dynamic driving conditions. This leads to the fact that the centroid data obtained in complex driving environments is often not accurate enough to reflect the true situation of the vehicle in different states.

[0049] Lack of real-time performance: The traditional method does not fully consider the application of real-time data when calculating the vehicle centroid, and lacks the response ability to instantaneous state changes. This makes it difficult for the system to provide timely and effective feedback in rapidly changing driving environments, and cannot meet the needs of modern intelligent driving.

[0050] Poor data integration capability: The traditional method fails to effectively integrate various data from different tire sensors, resulting in an inability to comprehensively evaluate the dynamic behavior of the vehicle and its centroid changes. This information island phenomenon makes it difficult for the vehicle control system to obtain comprehensive data support, thereby limiting its decision-making ability.

[0051] Poor environmental adaptability: traditional methods lack adaptability to different road conditions and driving habits, and cannot provide a unified solution. This limitation affects the universal applicability of the system in various driving scenarios, making it difficult to be widely applied in actual driving situations.

[0052] Complex algorithm dependence: traditional methods rely on complex algorithm models, which have a cumbersome calculation process and poor real-time performance. This complexity not only increases the difficulty of implementation, but also limits the popularization and dissemination of these technologies in practical applications.

[0053] Based on the analysis of the above situation, in one embodiment, Figure 2 a flowchart of a vehicle centroid identification method is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 the vehicle-mounted electronic device in , including the following steps:

[0054] Step S101, obtaining the acceleration value and free radius of the target tire, and calculating the first ground leaving angle of the target tire based on the acceleration value and free radius; wherein the first ground leaving angle is the maximum angle between the ground contact area of the tire and the vertical direction when the tire is lifted from the ground.

[0055] Figure 3 The simplified model diagram of the tire after compression in this embodiment is shown in Figure 3 , where O represents the center of the tire (i.e. the center of the circle), R represents the free radius of the tire, A and B represent the contact points formed with the ground due to deformation during tire rolling. OC is perpendicular to AB, the arc length AB represents the contact area, θ is the angle between the position of the sensor in the tire and the vertical direction, θ will change in real time, θf is the entering angle of the tire contact area, and θr is the leaving angle of the tire contact area. Assuming that the deformation of the tire in the contact area is symmetrical, i.e. θf = θr.

[0056] When calculating the first ground leaving angle of the corresponding tire based on the acceleration value and free radius, the arc length AB of the corresponding tire contact area can be calculated based on the acceleration value; the tire circumference 2πR can be calculated based on the free radius; and the first ground leaving angle θr can be calculated based on the arc length AB of the contact area and the tire circumference 2πR.

[0057] In practical applications, a sensor (such as an accelerometer or a smart tire sensor) can be attached inside the tire to collect the tire circumferential (X-direction) acceleration value in real time. Figure 4 The tire circumferential acceleration curve change diagram in this embodiment is shown in Figure 4 , where the horizontal axis represents time (in ms) and the vertical axis represents the circumferential acceleration amplitude (in m / S 2 ). From Figure 4It can be seen that the circumferential acceleration amplitude fluctuates around zero. Due to the deformation caused by the contact between the tire and the road, there is a maximum value (P1, P2, P3, P4) and a minimum value (V1, V2, V3, V4) before and after the tire contacts the ground. When the intelligent tire sensor rolls to the front end of the contact, the tread rubber is suddenly compressed, causing the circumferential acceleration amplitude to increase; when the intelligent tire sensor rolls to the rear end of the contact, the compressed rubber suddenly releases and recovers, causing the circumferential acceleration amplitude to increase again; the directions of the two mutations are opposite, corresponding to a positive and a negative circumferential acceleration extreme value.

[0058] Take the circumferential acceleration data within 1s as a frame, as the analysis duration. It can be seen that within 1s, the tire rotates 4 times, V1~V2 corresponds to the peak value when the tire starts to contact the ground, P1~P4 corresponds to the peak value when the tire starts to leave the ground. In addition, adjacent P or adjacent V corresponds to one rotation of the tire, for example, the acceleration amplitude experiences P1, V2, P2 in turn, or the acceleration amplitude experiences V1, P1 in turn. Adjacent PV corresponds to the duration of the tire contacting the ground, for example, the acceleration amplitude experiences V1, P1 in turn, or the acceleration amplitude experiences V2, P2 in turn.

[0059] According to the duration t of the tire contacting the ground and the acceleration value a, the travel distance l of the tire, i.e. the arc length of the contact area, is calculated as l = at 2 , and the circumference of the tire is calculated according to the free radius 2πR. The first contact and departure angle is:

[0060] θr = length of V1~P1 ÷ length of P1~P2 × 2π

[0061] Substituting the relevant parameters, we get:

[0062] θr = at 2 ÷ 2πR × 2π = at 2 / R

[0063] In step S102, the performance parameters of the target tire are obtained, and the free radius, the first contact and departure angle, and the performance parameters are substituted into the flexible ring model to calculate the load of the target tire; wherein the flexible ring model contains the contribution value of each performance parameter to the tire load distribution, and the performance parameters include the internal air pressure of the tire and the tire stiffness.

[0064] In this step, the performance parameter contribution value to the tire load distribution can be calculated according to the free radius and the first ground departure angle, and the partial contribution values are added to obtain the load of the target tire. Specifically, the first contribution value of the deformation of the target tire under the action of the internal air pressure to the load is determined according to the internal air pressure of the tire, the free radius and the first ground departure angle; the second contribution value of the deformation of the target tire under the action of the stiffness to the load is determined according to the tire stiffness, the free radius and the first ground departure angle; the first contribution value and the second contribution value are added to obtain the load of the target tire.

[0065] In step S103, the wheelbase and the width of the vehicle are obtained, and the mass center position of the vehicle is calculated according to the load of the target tire, the wheelbase and the width of the vehicle.

[0066] In this step, the total load of the first target tire and the second target tire in the vehicle can be calculated; the first target tire is located in front of the second target tire; the first ratio between the load of the first target tire and the total load is calculated, and the first ratio is multiplied by the wheelbase to obtain the coordinate of the mass center in the wheelbase direction; the second ratio between the load of the second target tire and the total load is calculated, and the second ratio is multiplied by the width to obtain the coordinate of the mass center in the width direction; the position of the mass center in the XOY plane is determined according to the coordinates of the mass center in the wheelbase direction and the width direction. The first target tire and the second target tire can be all the tires in the vehicle, or part of the tires in the vehicle.

[0067] In some embodiments, for a four-wheel vehicle, there are a left front wheel, a right front wheel, a left rear wheel and a right rear wheel, the left front wheel and the right front wheel are divided into the first target tire, and the load cumulative value of the left front wheel and the right front wheel is defined as the first load value; the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel are divided into the second target tire, and the load cumulative value of the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel is defined as the second load value. The total load of the first target tire and the second target tire is calculated, that is, the total load of the left front wheel, the right front wheel, the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel in the vehicle is calculated; the first ratio between the first load value and the total load is calculated, and the first ratio is multiplied by the wheelbase to obtain the coordinate of the mass center in the wheelbase direction; the second ratio between the second load value and the total load is calculated, and the second ratio is multiplied by the width to obtain the coordinate of the mass center in the width direction; the position of the mass center in the XOY plane is determined according to the coordinates of the mass center in the wheelbase direction and the width direction.

[0068] Assuming that the wheelbase of the vehicle is L, the width of the vehicle is B, and the real-time loads of the left front wheel, the right front wheel, the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel are W FL , W FR , W RL and W RR , respectively.

[0069] The coordinate of the mass center in the X direction (the wheelbase direction of the vehicle) is:

[0070] (W FL +W FR ) / (W FL +W FR +W RL +W RR )×L;

[0071] The coordinate of the center of mass in the Y direction (the vehicle width direction) is:

[0072] (W FL +W RL ) / (W FL +W FR +W RL +W RR )×B.

[0073] In some embodiments, for the center of mass calculation of a four-wheel vehicle, when the first target tire and the second target tire participating in the calculation are selected, the first target tire can be the left front wheel and / or the right front wheel, and the second target tire can be the left rear wheel and / or the right rear wheel. In some embodiments, for the center of mass calculation of an N-wheel vehicle, when the first target tire and the second target tire participating in the calculation are selected, the first target tire can be any one or more of the front wheels, and the second target tire can be any one or more of the rear wheels.

[0074] In the above manner, the real-time center of mass position of the vehicle in the XOY plane can be obtained. The center of mass position can be used as effective information input for automatic driving, ensuring high-precision tracking of vehicle driving.

[0075] In the above steps S101 to S103, by collecting the acceleration values of the tires in the vehicle in real time, the first ground departure angle of the corresponding tire is calculated according to the acceleration values and the free radius, and based on the free radius and the first ground departure angle, the contribution values of different performance parameters to the tire load distribution are summarized to obtain the tire load, and the position of the center of mass of the vehicle in the XOY plane is calculated according to the tire load. By calculating the tire load in real time, the position of the center of mass of the vehicle in the XOY plane is obtained, the center of mass of the vehicle is fed back in real time and accurately, and the problem of inaccurate vehicle center of mass recognition in the related art is solved.

[0076] In one embodiment, the first contribution value is proportional to the tire internal pressure, the free radius, and the sine value of the first ground departure angle, respectively; the second contribution value includes a first term and a second term, wherein the first term is proportional to the tire stiffness, the square of the free radius, and the first ground departure angle, respectively; and the second term is proportional to the tire stiffness, the square of the free radius, and the sine value of the first ground departure angle, respectively.

[0077] Specifically, the calculation formula of the flexible ring model is as follows:

[0078] Qw = 2 x R x p0 x b x sin θr + R 2 x K x (sin θr - θr x b)

[0079] Wherein, Qw is the tire load, p0 is the tire internal pressure, θr is the tire contact area departure angle, K is the tire stiffness (specifically the total stiffness in xy direction), R is the tire free radius. 2 x R x p0 x b x sin θr is the first contribution value, R 2 x K x (sin θr - θr x b) is the second contribution value.

[0080] Simplify the above flexible ring model, a regression equation can be established:

[0081] Qw = x1 x p0 x R x sin θr + x2 x R 2 x K x θr + R 2 x K x sin θr

[0082] Wherein, (x1 x p0 x R x sin θr) is the first contribution value, (x2 x R 2 x K x θr + R 2 x K x sin θr) is the second contribution value. Wherein, (x2 x R 2 x K x θr) is the first term of the second contribution value, (R 2 x K x sin θr) is the second term of the second contribution value. x1 and x2 are model coefficients, related to tire specifications, brands, and can be calculated by calibration.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 5 A flexible ring model coefficient calibration flowchart is provided, as Figure 5 shown, before obtaining the acceleration value and the free radius of the target tire and calculating the first ground departure angle of the target tire based on the acceleration value and the free radius, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0084] Step S201, a regression equation is established according to the flexible ring model; wherein the regression equation contains the mapping relationship between the free radius, the ground departure angle, the tire performance and the load of the tire in the vehicle, and also contains the coefficients to be solved.

[0085] Determine the first mapping relationship between the deformation of the tire contact area and the free radius, the ground departure angle; determine the second mapping relationship between the load distribution when the tire contacts the ground and the free radius, the ground departure angle, the tire performance; combine the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship to obtain the regression equation.

[0086] Specifically, assuming that the deformation of the tire contact area is δ, and the maximum deformation of the tire in the contact area is a, wherein a = CD, then:

[0087]

[0088] Assuming that the deformation of the tire at the contact patch is symmetrical, i.e. θf = θr, and because θ and θr are close in value, it can be assumed that a = R - R x cos θr, and thus the above equation can be simplified as:

[0089]

[0090] Therefore, the load of the tire can be simplified as:

[0091]

[0092] where qw is the load distribution of the tire.

[0093] Substituting the above equations into the flexible ring model of the tire, we can obtain:

[0094] Qw = 2 x R x p0 x b x sin θr + R 2 x K x (sin θr - θr x b)

[0095] Based on the above equation, a regression equation can be established:

[0096] Qw = x1 x p0 x R x sin θr + x2 x R 2 x K x θr + R 2 x K x sin θr

[0097] Step S202, collect the second contact patch departure angle of the vehicle under different load calibration values, calculate the contribution value of each tire performance to the load, and weight each part of the contribution value with the coefficient as the weight to obtain the load prediction value of the tire in the vehicle.

[0098] The acceleration value and internal pressure of the tire can be collected by the intelligent tire sensor, the second contact patch departure angle can be calculated, and then the free radius of the tire, the second contact patch departure angle, the internal pressure, and the stiffness are substituted into the above regression equation to calculate the load prediction value.

[0099] Step S203, solve the coefficients by minimizing the error between the load prediction value and the load calibration value. In actual application, a tire drum tester or a six-component tester can be used to set different load test conditions, run for 1 minute under each test condition, and output the corresponding θr through the sensor. Summarize θr under different loads, corresponding to different load data, complete the model calibration. The following table is the input parameters and calibration parameters of the model. Substituting these data into the regression equation, the model coefficients x1 and x2 can be solved.

[0100]

[0101] Optionally, in the actual calibration process, 70% of the data is used for model calibration, and 30% of the data is used for model verification. To judge the pros and cons of the model, the summary model residual percentage distribution chart is used, and the correlation coefficient of the model is viewed at the same time. Figure 6 For the summary model residual percentage distribution chart of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 the horizontal coordinate represents the test load (unit: kg), and the vertical coordinate represents the residual ratio. According to the test results, the correlation coefficient = 0.9920 can be obtained. From the figure, it can be concluded that the model error is controlled within ±5, the accuracy is higher than that based on the traditional torque input, the correlation coefficient is more than 99%, and the effect is good.

[0102] In one embodiment, an intelligent tire sensor is installed on the tire to collect the acceleration value and internal air pressure of the tire in real time. The calibrated model coefficient, tire free radius, tire lateral and longitudinal total stiffness, vehicle wheelbase and width are stored in the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) of the vehicle. The vehicle centroid recognition method of any one of the above embodiments is executed based on the ECU to realize the recognition of the vehicle centroid. In this way, the load of each wheel position, rather than each axle position, can be obtained in real time, because the single wheel position load estimation accuracy is higher than that of the traditional torque output based estimation method. The centroid positions of the front and rear axes and the left and right ends in the XOY plane can be obtained at the same time. The traditional torque output based method can only obtain the load of the front and rear axes. The calibration is simple and can be completed before the tire is shipped.
