[0002] In traditional steering systems, vehicle motion information and tire force conditions are transmitted directly to the steering wheel via the steering column. However, with the development of intelligent vehicles, the demand for steering systems in intelligent vehicles is increasing, and traditional steering systems can no longer meet this demand. Therefore, steer-by-wire systems have been introduced. These systems decouple the steering wheel from the steering wheel by eliminating the connection between the steering wheel and the steering wheel through the steering column. The up / down steering system of steer-by-wire transmits steering information and road feel information via electrical signals. Road feel information is fed back to the driver by the up / down steering system based on rack force.

[0003] Currently, there are two methods for determining rack force: estimating rack force based on a steering gear dynamics model and estimating rack force based on a vehicle dynamics model. However, neither method accurately estimates rack force, affecting the authenticity and accuracy of road feel information and, in turn, the driver's driving experience. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for determining rack force provided by an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is applicable to the situation of determining rack force in a vehicle with a wire-controlled steering system. The method can be executed by a rack force determination device, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. Optionally, it can be implemented by an electronic device, which can be a mobile terminal, PC or server. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0019] S110: Determine a target road surface adhesion coefficient.

[0020] In this embodiment, the road adhesion coefficient can be obtained by various vehicle sensors (such as wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensors, etc.), and then the road adhesion coefficient is processed to obtain the target road adhesion coefficient. In this embodiment, the method for processing the road adhesion coefficient is not limited, and can be, for example, filtering, rate of change limiting, curve fitting, etc.

[0021] In this embodiment, the road adhesion coefficient is processed to prevent the sudden change of the road adhesion coefficient from being transmitted to the steering system, thereby avoiding drastic fluctuations in the rack force due to the sudden change of the road adhesion coefficient, and making the subsequently determined rack force smoother and more stable.

[0022] S120: Determine a target yaw rate of the vehicle according to the front wheel steering angle, the vehicle speed, and the target road adhesion coefficient.

[0023] The front wheel angle may refer to the actual deflection angle of the front wheel relative to the centerline of the vehicle body when the vehicle turns, and the vehicle speed may refer to the longitudinal movement speed of the vehicle's center of mass relative to the ground.

[0024] In this embodiment, the front wheel angle of the vehicle can be obtained through a steering wheel angle sensor, a cable displacement sensor, a non-contact angle sensor, a visual sensor, etc. The vehicle speed can be obtained through a wheel speed sensor, a transmission output shaft rotation sensor, an inertial measurement unit, a global satellite navigation system, etc.

[0025] In this embodiment, the target yaw rate of the vehicle is determined based on the vehicle's front wheel angle, vehicle speed, and target road adhesion coefficient. This allows the target yaw rate to vary with changes in the target road adhesion coefficient, thereby allowing the rack force to vary with changes in the target road adhesion coefficient. Furthermore, the driver's feel (or road feel information) can also vary with changes in the target road adhesion coefficient, thereby improving the accuracy of the rack force and the authenticity of the road feel information.

[0026] S130: Determine the tire lateral force of the vehicle according to the target yaw angular velocity and the vehicle speed.

[0027] Among them, the tire lateral force can include the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force. Among them, the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force are both tangential reaction forces perpendicular to the wheel plane provided by the ground under the action of the tire's slip angle. The front wheel lateral force directly responds to the driver's steering input (generating the front wheel slip angle) and is the main driving force for the vehicle to generate yaw angular velocity and change heading. The rear wheel lateral force mainly responds to the rear wheel slip angle caused by vehicle motion (such as the center of mass slip angle and yaw motion) to constrain the vehicle body's sideslip, stabilize the yaw motion and ensure that the rear axle follows the front axle trajectory.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lateral acceleration can be obtained based on the yaw angular velocity, the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force can be obtained based on the vehicle mass and the lateral acceleration, and the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force can be obtained based on the moment of inertia, the yaw angular acceleration, the front wheel base, and the rear wheel base. The specific front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force can be solved by these two methods of determining the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force.

[0029] S140: Determine the rack force according to the tire lateral force.

[0030] In this embodiment, the tire aligning torque can be obtained based on the front wheel lateral force in the tire lateral force, and the rack force can be determined based on the tire aligning torque. The rack force refers to the resultant force acting on the rack when the gear and rack are engaged.

[0031] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application determines the target road adhesion coefficient; determines the target yaw rate of the vehicle based on the front wheel steering angle, vehicle speed, and target road adhesion coefficient; determines the tire lateral force of the vehicle based on the target yaw rate and vehicle speed; and determines the rack force based on the tire lateral force. In this embodiment, by determining the target road adhesion coefficient, determining the target yaw rate of the vehicle based on the front wheel steering angle, vehicle speed, and target road adhesion coefficient, and determining the rack force based on the target yaw rate and vehicle speed, the rack force can change with changes in the target road adhesion coefficient, thereby improving the accuracy of the rack force, and further improving the authenticity and accuracy of the road feel information, thereby enhancing the driving experience. The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to scenarios with a variety of different target road adhesion coefficients, and can improve the accuracy of the rack force, so it can be used in a wider range of scenarios.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of another method for determining rack force provided in the embodiment of the present application. This embodiment of the present application is a specific implementation based on the above invention embodiment. Figure 2 The method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0033] S201. Determine a first road adhesion coefficient according to the road adhesion coefficient of the left front wheel and the road adhesion coefficient of the right front wheel.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the vehicle is front-wheel steering, the first road adhesion coefficient can be estimated based on the road adhesion coefficient of the left front wheel and the road adhesion coefficient of the right front wheel.

[0035] The formula for determining the first road adhesion coefficient is:

[0036] Among them, μ is the first road adhesion coefficient, μ fl is the road adhesion coefficient of the left front wheel, μ fr is the road adhesion coefficient of the right front wheel.

[0037] S202: Filter the first road surface adhesion coefficient to obtain a second road surface adhesion coefficient.

[0038] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the specific filtering method, and for example, it may be smoothing filtering, low-pass filtering, Kalman filtering, etc.

[0039] In this embodiment, high-frequency noise or abnormal values ​​can be effectively smoothed out by filtering the first road adhesion coefficient, thereby obtaining a smoother and more reliable road adhesion coefficient.

[0040] S203: Limit the change rate of the second road surface adhesion coefficient to obtain a target road surface adhesion coefficient.

[0041] In this embodiment, if the rate of change of the second road adhesion coefficient at the current moment relative to the target road adhesion coefficient at the previous moment exceeds a set rate-of-change threshold, the allowable change at the current moment is limited to a set range, thereby obtaining the target road adhesion coefficient at the current moment. In this embodiment, the set rate-of-change threshold is not restricted and may be, for example, 0.1 / s. In this embodiment, the set range is not restricted and may be, for example, [-maxdelta, +maxdelta]. Maxdelta can be obtained by multiplying the set rate-of-change threshold by the time step (e.g., 0.1s).

[0042] In this embodiment, limiting the rate of change of the filtered road adhesion coefficient can prevent sudden or drastic changes in the second road adhesion coefficient, making the change of the target road adhesion coefficient relatively smooth, maintaining the smoothing effect brought by filtering, thereby making the rack force smoother and improving the steering feel.

[0043] S204: Determine a first yaw rate of the vehicle according to the front wheel steering angle and the vehicle speed.

[0044] In this embodiment, the formula for determining the first yaw angular velocity is:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, δ is the front wheel angle, v is the vehicle speed; l is the wheelbase (the sum of the front wheelbase and the rear wheelbase), a y is the lateral acceleration, V c (a y ) is the characteristic vehicle speed, is the first yaw angular velocity.

[0047] The characteristic vehicle speed is used to characterize the vehicle stability.

[0048] S205 : Determine a second yaw rate of the vehicle according to the target road adhesion coefficient, the vehicle speed, and the acceleration of gravity.

[0049] In this embodiment, the formula for determining the second yaw angular velocity is:

[0050]

[0051] Among them, μ is the target road adhesion coefficient, v is the vehicle speed, g is the acceleration of gravity, is the second yaw angular velocity.

[0052] S206 : Determine a target yaw rate according to the first yaw rate and the second yaw rate.

[0053] In this embodiment, the minimum value, the maximum value, or the average value of the first yaw angular velocity and the second yaw angular velocity may be taken as the target yaw angular velocity.

[0054] Optionally, determining the target yaw rate according to the first yaw rate and the second yaw rate includes: taking a minimum value of the first yaw rate and the second yaw rate as the target yaw rate.

[0055] It should be noted that the first yaw rate is the steady-state yaw rate, while the second yaw rate can be understood as the maximum feasible yaw rate under the target road adhesion coefficient, gravitational acceleration, and vehicle speed. When the target road adhesion coefficient is high, the first yaw rate is typically lower, and the vehicle operates at the first yaw rate. When the target road adhesion coefficient is low, the second yaw rate is typically lower, and the vehicle operates at the second yaw rate. This determines the rack force and better matches the steering capability provided by the actual road surface, avoiding excessive torque on surfaces with low target road adhesion coefficients that could cause wheel slip or oversteer. This ensures a more reasonable and safe rack force, thus avoiding the abrupt and dangerous feeling of a sudden lightening of the steering wheel or loss of control, and enhancing driver safety and control feel.

[0056] S207 : Determine the tire lateral force of the vehicle according to the target yaw angular velocity and the vehicle speed.

[0057] Optionally, the vehicle's tire lateral force is determined based on the target yaw angular velocity and vehicle speed, including: determining the lateral acceleration based on the target yaw angular velocity and vehicle speed; determining the yaw angular acceleration based on the target yaw angular velocity; determining the tire lateral force based on the lateral acceleration, vehicle mass, moment of inertia, yaw angular acceleration, front wheelbase, and rear wheelbase.

[0058] Specifically, the formula for determining the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force in the tire lateral force is:

[0059]

[0060] Among them, m is the mass of the vehicle, a y is the lateral acceleration, I Z is the moment of inertia, is the yaw angular acceleration, l f is the front wheelbase, l r is the rear wheelbase, F yf is the front wheel lateral force, F yr is the rear wheel lateral force.

[0061] Vehicle mass is the total mass of the vehicle (including load), which can be obtained directly from the vehicle nameplate or manual. Moment of inertia describes the inertia of the vehicle body about an axis of rotation (such as the roll axis or pitch axis) and can be calculated through experiments or multibody dynamics models. Front wheelbase is the distance from the vehicle's center of mass to the center of the front axle, while rear wheelbase is the distance from the vehicle's center of mass to the center of the rear axle.

[0062] In this embodiment, by determining the lateral acceleration and yaw angular acceleration based on the target yaw angular velocity, and determining the front wheel lateral force and the rear wheel lateral force based on the lateral acceleration, vehicle mass, moment of inertia, yaw angular acceleration, front wheelbase, and rear wheelbase, the front and rear wheel lateral forces can be determined more accurately, thereby more accurately determining the rack force, and further enhancing the realism of the wire-controlled steering feel.

[0063] S208: Determine the rack force according to the tire lateral force.

[0064] Optionally, determining the rack force according to the tire lateral force includes: determining the tire aligning torque according to the mechanical trail, the pneumatic trail, and the front wheel lateral force in the tire lateral force; and determining the rack force according to the tire aligning torque.

[0065] The tire aligning torque may refer to the torque applied by the road surface to the tire when the tire generates a slip angle, attempting to realign the tire plane with the actual direction of travel. In this embodiment, after obtaining the tire aligning torque, the corresponding rack force can be determined based on the proportional relationship between the tire and rack displacements.

[0066] Specifically, the formula for determining the tire aligning torque is: M z =(t p +t m‘ )*F yf ;

[0067] Among them, t p is the pneumatic tire trailing distance, t m‘ is the mechanical drag, F yf is the front wheel lateral force, M z is the tire aligning torque.

[0068] The mechanical drag is an intrinsic parameter of the tire and can be directly obtained, while the pneumatic drag can be an additional drag caused by tire deformation.

[0069] In this embodiment, the tire aligning torque is determined based on the front wheel lateral force, and the rack force is determined based on the tire aligning torque. Since the front wheel lateral force is obtained based on the target yaw rate, and the target yaw rate is obtained based on the target road adhesion coefficient, when the vehicle travels from a road surface with a high target road adhesion coefficient to a road surface with a low target road adhesion coefficient, the rack force can also change from large to small, and the road feel information (or driver feel) can also change from heavy to light, thereby improving the authenticity of the road feel information.

Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a target road adhesion coefficient determination module 310, a target yaw rate determination module 320, a tire lateral force determination module 330 and a rack force determination module 340;

[0074] The rack force determination module 340 is configured to determine the rack force according to the tire lateral force.

[0075] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is to determine the target road adhesion coefficient through a target road adhesion coefficient determination module; determine the target yaw rate of the vehicle based on the vehicle's front wheel angle, vehicle speed, and the target road adhesion coefficient through a target yaw rate determination module; determine the tire lateral force of the vehicle based on the target yaw rate and vehicle speed through a tire lateral force determination module; and determine the rack force based on the tire lateral force through a rack force determination module. In this embodiment, by determining the target road adhesion coefficient, determining the target yaw rate of the vehicle based on the vehicle's front wheel angle, vehicle speed, and target road adhesion coefficient, and determining the rack force based on the target yaw rate and vehicle speed, the rack force can change with changes in the target road adhesion coefficient, thereby improving the accuracy of the rack force, and further improving the authenticity and accuracy of road feel information, thereby enhancing the driving experience.

[0076] Optionally, the target road adhesion coefficient determination module is specifically used to: determine a first road adhesion coefficient based on the left front wheel road adhesion coefficient and the right front wheel road adhesion coefficient; filter the first road adhesion coefficient to obtain a second road adhesion coefficient; and limit the change rate of the second road adhesion coefficient to obtain a target road adhesion coefficient.
