Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technical field of the present invention should belong to the technical fields of vehicle engineering and automatic control technology, and specifically relates to a road feel simulation control method and device for a steer-by-wire system based on Kalman filtering. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of automotive electronic technology, the steer-by-wire system (SBW), as an advanced steering control technology, has gradually become a research hotspot in the fields of intelligent driving and electric vehicles. The steer-by-wire system replaces the traditional mechanical connection with electronic signals, eliminating the direct mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the steering wheel, thereby enabling more flexible steering control, higher energy efficiency, and a better driving experience. However, the steer-by-wire system also faces many technical challenges, one of which is how to provide real and reliable road feel feedback to the driver in the absence of a mechanical connection.

[0003] Road feel feedback is an important way for drivers to perceive the driving state of vehicles, directly affecting driving safety and handling experience. In the steer-by-wire system, road feel feedback is usually simulated by the current signal of the actuator motor. The current signal of the actuator motor can reflect the load change of the steering system, and then generate a feedback torque matching the road conditions. However, the measurement accuracy and reliability of the current signal directly determine the quality of road feel feedback. In practical applications, current sensors may be affected by factors such as electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibration, or hardware aging, resulting in fluctuations or distortions in the measurement signal. Once the current sensor fails, the accuracy of road feel feedback will be seriously affected, and even potential safety hazards may be caused.

[0004] To solve the problem of current sensor failure, redundant design or fault diagnosis mechanisms are usually adopted in the prior art. For example, some solutions achieve redundant measurement by adding multiple current sensors, but this method will increase system complexity and cost. Other solutions detect sensor faults through simple threshold judgment or filtering algorithms, but these methods often have difficulty coping with complex dynamic working conditions and are prone to misjudgment. In addition, there is a lack of a mechanism in the prior art that can seamlessly switch to a backup signal source when the sensor fails, resulting in insufficient continuity and stability of road feel feedback.

[0005] As a classic state estimation algorithm, the Kalman filter is widely used in the fields of automatic control, signal processing, and fault diagnosis. Through the dynamic prediction and correction process, it can effectively suppress noise interference and improve the accuracy of state estimation. In a steer-by-wire system, the Kalman filter can be used to estimate the current signal of the actuator motor, thereby providing a reliable backup signal source for road feel feedback. However, in the existing technology, the application potential of the Kalman filter in road feel simulation of the steer-by-wire system has not been fully explored, especially in seamless switching and dynamic recovery when sensors fail.

[0006] In summary, the following deficiencies still exist in the existing technology in the road feel simulation control of the steer-by-wire system: 1. The measurement signal of the current sensor is vulnerable to interference, and there is a lack of an efficient fault detection and fault tolerance mechanism; 2. The existing fault diagnosis methods are difficult to adapt to complex dynamic working conditions and are prone to misjudgment; 3. There is a lack of a control strategy that can seamlessly switch to a backup signal source and dynamically recover when the sensor fails. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a road feel simulation control method and device for a steer-by-wire system based on the Kalman filter to improve the reliability, continuity, and dynamic adaptability of road feel feedback, thereby providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience for drivers.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A road feel simulation control method for a steer-by-wire system based on the Kalman filter includes the following steps: (1) Real-time collect the actual current signal I meas of the actuator motor in the steer-by-wire system, and dynamically estimate the current of the actuator motor through a Kalman filter to generate a corresponding estimated current signal I est; (2) Calculate the real-time error value e between the actual current signal and the estimated current signal; (3) When it is detected that the fluctuation amplitude of the actual current signal exceeds a preset threshold e th, and the error value e continuously exceeds the preset threshold for a first set duration T fault, determine that the current sensor fails, trigger a fault flag, and switch to using the estimated current signal I est of the Kalman filter as the control input for road feel simulation; (4) In the state where the current sensor fails, continuously monitor the error value e between the actual current signal and the estimated current signal; when the error value e is continuously lower than 80% of the threshold for a second set duration TDuring recovery, it is determined that the current sensor has returned to normal, the fault flag is cleared, and the actual current signal is re-switched as the control input for road feel simulation.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that in steps (3) and (4), the first set duration and the second set duration are dynamically set according to the vehicle driving conditions: the set duration is shortened under high-speed driving conditions to improve the switching sensitivity, and the set duration is extended under low-speed or frequent steering conditions to reduce the probability of false triggering.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that when switching to the estimated current signal of the Kalman filter in step (3), it further includes: Record the abnormal fluctuation characteristics of the current actual current signal and input this characteristic into the fault diagnosis module to generate a fault code and store it in the vehicle-mounted memory; Send an abnormal current sensor prompt message to the driver through the vehicle-mounted human-machine interface.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that before re-switching to the actual current signal in step (4), it further includes: Perform a moving window mean filtering process on the actual current signal and calculate its moving average error from the estimated current signal; When the moving average error is lower than 80% of the second threshold for N consecutive sampling periods, perform the switching operation, where N is dynamically set according to the vehicle control period.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention lies in that the input of the Kalman filter further includes a steering wheel angle signal, a vehicle yaw rate signal, and an estimated value of the tire lateral force, which are used to construct a multi-dimensional fusion observation model to improve the current estimation accuracy.

[0016] A further improvement of the present invention lies in that the redundant control module further includes: A historical data storage unit for caching the actual current signal and the estimated current signal within the most recent T seconds; A data compensation unit that, when switching to the estimated current signal, performs weighted correction on the current estimated value based on historical data, where the weight coefficient is negatively correlated with the duration of the sensor failure.

[0017] A vehicle electronic control unit includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the above-mentioned road feeling simulation control method for a steer-by-wire system based on Kalman filtering.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Embodiment 1 The road feel simulation control method for a steer-by-wire system based on Kalman filtering provided by the present invention specifically includes the following: Real-time collect the actual current signal of the actuator motor in the steer-by-wire system I meas, and dynamically estimate the current of the actuator motor through a Kalman filter to generate a corresponding estimated current signal Iest. The state equation and observation equation of the Kalman filter are constructed based on the dynamic model of the actuating motor. The state variables include the motor current I, the motor speed ω, and the load torque T, and the observed variable is the actual current signal. The Kalman filter generates a high-precision estimated current signal through a real-time iterative prediction and correction process.

[0039] Calculate the real-time error value e between the actual current signal and the estimated current signal. When it is detected that the fluctuation amplitude of the error value exceeds a preset threshold and continuously exceeds the preset threshold for a first set duration, it is determined that the current sensor has failed. The threshold is dynamically adjusted according to the vehicle driving state to adapt to different working conditions.

[0040] When it is determined that the current sensor has failed, switch to using the estimated current signal of the Kalman filter as the control input for road feel simulation. During the switching process, the system records the abnormal fluctuation characteristics of the current actual current signal and inputs this characteristic into the fault diagnosis module to generate a fault code and store it in the vehicle-mounted memory. At the same time, an abnormal prompt message for the current sensor is sent to the driver through the vehicle-mounted human-machine interface.

[0041] In the state where the current sensor has failed, continuously monitor the error value e between the actual current signal and the estimated current signal. When the error value e is continuously lower than the threshold for a second set duration, it is determined that the current sensor has returned to normal. Before switching back to the actual current signal, perform a sliding window mean filtering process on the actual current signal and calculate its sliding average error with the estimated current signal. When the sliding average error is continuously lower than 80% of the second threshold for N sampling periods, perform the switching operation and resume using the actual current signal as the control input for road feel simulation.

[0042] The road feel feedback torque is generated. The road feel feedback torque is generated based on the current signal and output to the steering wheel through the steering actuator. The calculation of the road feel feedback torque comprehensively considers factors such as vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, vehicle yaw rate, and tire lateral force to ensure the authenticity and dynamic adaptability of the feedback torque.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention is applied to a steer-by-wire system. Although the steer-by-wire system has many advantages, it also faces many technical challenges. How to provide real and reliable road feel feedback to the driver is one of them. As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the present invention uses the current of the actuator motor as the main source of the road feel feedback torque to provide appropriate steering resistance for the driver. However, the actuator motor current sensor may be affected by unpredictable factors such as electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibration, or hardware aging, resulting in sensor failure. Once the current sensor fails, the accuracy of the road feel feedback will be seriously affected, and even potential safety hazards may be caused. Therefore, this paper provides a road feel simulation control method for a steer-by-wire system based on Kalman filtering. As Figure 3 shown.

[0044] When the steer-by-wire system is working properly, first, the required data is collected in real time, including obtaining the actuator motor current I meas through the current sensor, and obtaining the motor speed ω through the encoder or speed sensor, etc. Then, the steering actuator motor current is estimated by the designed Kalman filter to obtain the estimated value I est. After that, error detection and fault judgment are performed on the actuator motor current, and the real-time error value e between the actual current signal and the estimated current signal is calculated; When it is detected that the fluctuation amplitude of the actual current signal exceeds the preset threshold e th, and the error value e continuously exceeds the preset threshold for the first set duration T fault, it is determined that the current sensor fails, a fault flag is triggered, and the estimated current signal of the Kalman filter is switched to be used I est as the control input for road feel simulation; in the state of current sensor failure, the error value e between the actual current signal and the estimated current signal is continuously monitored; when the error value e is continuously lower than 80% of the threshold for the second set duration T recover, it is determined that the current sensor returns to normal, the fault flag is cleared, and the actual current signal is switched back as the control input for road feel simulation; finally, the road feel feedback torque is generated according to the switched current signal and output to the steering wheel through the steering actuator to provide appropriate road feel feedback for the driver.

[0045] Embodiment 2 The sine working condition is selected to illustrate the implementation case of the present invention. Test working condition setting: At a vehicle speed of 20 km / h, a steering wheel angle input with a period of 5 s and an amplitude of 300° is set. The angle input diagram is as Figure 4 shown.

[0046] Set the current sensor fault: 0 - 5 s, no fault; 5 - 10 s, 0.5 times the current sensor gain fails; 10 - 15 s, no fault, 15 - 20 s, the current sensor completely fails Then the measured current value Imeas of the sensor and the estimated current value Iest of the Kalman filter are as Figure 5as shown

[0047] According to the road feeling simulation control method of the present invention, an image of the current correction value changing with time can be obtained as Figure 6 as shown

[0048] An image of the road feeling feedback torque calculated according to the current correction value is as Figure 7 as shown

[0049] The comparison of the road feeling feedback values between using the road feeling simulation control method of the present invention and not using it is as follows: as Figure 8 shown, it can be seen that when this method is not used, when the current sensor fails, a suitable road feeling torque cannot be fed back, posing a safety hazard to the driving process; using the present invention can still output a suitable road feeling feedback steering wheel torque when the current sensor fails, improving the safety and fault tolerance of the steer-by-wire system.
