[0025] To clearly describe the vehicle control method provided in the embodiments of this application, the method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below in conjunction with several accompanying drawings. Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle control system provided in an embodiment of this application, such as...

[0029] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of this application, applied to the aforementioned vehicle control system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: Step 201: Obtain the road surface detection parameters of the current road surface where the target vehicle is driving.

[0030] Among the road surface detection parameters is the road surface adhesion coefficient, which indicates the friction between the vehicle tires and the road surface.

[0031] Optionally, a road surface detection device is installed on the target vehicle. This device can determine the detection parameters of the road surface on which the target vehicle is currently traveling. The road surface detection device can be an intelligent remote sensing vehicle-mounted road surface detector, which is equipped with sensors such as LiDAR and cameras. It can acquire road surface point cloud data through LiDAR and determine the road surface adhesion coefficient based on the reflection intensity of the point cloud.

[0032] Step 202: Obtain the target vehicle's current speed, front wheel steering angle, and real-time yaw rate.

[0033] Among them, the target vehicle's current speed is the instantaneous speed of the vehicle while it is moving, the front wheel steering angle is used to indicate the angle of deflection of the vehicle's front wheels, and the real-time yaw rate refers to the angular velocity of the vehicle rotating around the longitudinal axis perpendicular to the ground.

[0034] Optionally, the target vehicle is equipped with a vehicle control unit to obtain the current vehicle speed. The target vehicle is also equipped with an electro-hydraulic power steering system to obtain the front wheel steering angle. The target vehicle is further equipped with an electric braking system to obtain the real-time yaw rate.

[0035] Step 203: Calculate the target yaw rate of the target vehicle based on the road surface adhesion coefficient, current vehicle speed, and front wheel steering angle.

[0036] The target yaw rate is used to indicate the theoretical yaw rate of the vehicle, at which the vehicle can remain stable.

[0037] Optionally, based on the road surface adhesion coefficient Current vehicle speed and front wheel steering angle Based on vehicle stability coefficient Gravitational acceleration and vehicle wheelbase The target yaw rate is obtained by using a preset yaw angle calculation formula. Among them, the vehicle stability coefficient and vehicle wheelbase Determined based on the design structural parameters of the target vehicle.

[0038]

[0039] Step 204: Determine the real-time yaw rate deviation of the target vehicle based on the real-time yaw rate and the target yaw rate.

[0040] Optionally, the difference between the real-time yaw rate and the target yaw rate is determined based on the real-time yaw rate and the target yaw rate, thereby obtaining the real-time yaw deviation of the target vehicle.

[0041] Step 205: Adjust the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels based on the real-time yaw angle deviation.

[0042] Among them, the longitudinal force of the wheel includes: vehicle braking force and / or wheel driving force.

[0043] Optionally, the real-time yaw rate deviation is determined based on the real-time yaw rate and the target yaw rate. The real-time yaw rate is determined based on the yaw moment, and the yaw moment is determined based on the longitudinal forces of the inner and outer wheels of the target vehicle. By adjusting the longitudinal forces of the inner and outer wheels of the target vehicle, the real-time yaw rate can be changed, thereby changing the vehicle's real-time speed. The real-time yaw rate and the target yaw rate are then updated to obtain a new real-time yaw rate deviation until no real-time yaw rate deviation exists.

[0044] In this embodiment, road surface detection parameters of the target vehicle's current driving surface are obtained, along with the target vehicle's current speed, front wheel steering angle, and real-time yaw rate. Based on the road surface adhesion coefficient, current speed, and front wheel steering angle, the target yaw rate of the target vehicle is calculated. Based on the real-time yaw rate and the target yaw rate, the real-time yaw angle deviation of the target vehicle is determined. Based on the real-time yaw angle deviation, the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels is adjusted. This application controls the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels by using the target vehicle's road surface detection parameters, current speed, front wheel steering angle, and real-time yaw rate, and by determining the real-time yaw rate and the real-time yaw angle deviation of the target yaw rate. By determining the road surface adhesion coefficient, this application ensures the accuracy of the real-time yaw angle deviation, thereby ensuring the accuracy of vehicle control. Simultaneously, through closed-loop control, the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels is dynamically adjusted, making the vehicle adjustment more precise and improving vehicle driving safety.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a process for adjusting the longitudinal force of the wheels in a vehicle control method. Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the adjustment of longitudinal force on wheels in a vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, in step 205 above, the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels is adjusted based on the real-time yaw angle deviation, including: Step 301: If the real-time yaw angle deviation is greater than the preset minimum deviation threshold, apply braking force to the outer front wheel of the target vehicle.

[0046] The preset minimum deviation threshold can be 0.

[0047] Optionally, real-time yaw angle deviation For real-time yaw rate yaw rate of the target The difference. If the real-time yaw angle deviation is greater than the preset minimum deviation threshold, it indicates that the real-time yaw rate... Greater than the target yaw rate By applying braking force to the outer front wheel of the target vehicle, the resistance generated by the braking of the outer front wheel will create a counter-torque, thereby reducing the real-time yaw rate. Reduce real-time yaw rate deviation .

[0048] Step 302: If the real-time yaw angle deviation is less than the preset minimum deviation threshold, apply braking force to the inner rear wheel of the target vehicle.

[0049] Optionally, if the real-time yaw angle deviation is less than a preset minimum deviation threshold, it indicates that the real-time yaw rate is... Less than the target yaw rate By applying braking force to the inner rear wheel of the target vehicle, the resistance generated by the braking of the inner rear wheel will create a torque in the same direction, thereby increasing the real-time yaw rate. Increase real-time yaw angle deviation .

[0050] In this embodiment, if the real-time yaw angle deviation is greater than a preset minimum deviation threshold, braking force is applied to the outer front wheel of the target vehicle; if the real-time yaw angle deviation is less than the preset minimum deviation threshold, braking force is applied to the inner rear wheel of the target vehicle. By applying braking force to the outer front wheel and the inner rear wheel, this application improves the efficiency of correcting longitudinal forces on the wheels and minimizes interference with vehicle speed and ride comfort.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a process for adjusting the longitudinal force of the wheels in a vehicle control method. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the process for adjusting the longitudinal force of the wheels in another vehicle control method provided in this application embodiment, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, in step 205 above, adjusting the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels based on the real-time yaw angle deviation also includes: Step 401: If the real-time yaw angle deviation is greater than the preset minimum deviation threshold, perform the first control on the drive wheels of the target vehicle so that the driving force of the inner drive wheel of the target vehicle is greater than the driving force of the outer drive wheel.

[0052] Optionally, if the real-time yaw angle deviation is greater than a preset minimum deviation threshold, it indicates that the real-time yaw rate is greater than the target yaw rate, meaning the target vehicle is actually steering too fast and there is a risk of oversteering. In this case, a first control is applied to the drive wheels of the target vehicle, making the driving force of the inner drive wheel greater than the driving force of the outer drive wheel. This first control can be achieved by increasing the driving force of the inner wheel, increasing the braking force of the outer wheel, or simultaneously increasing the driving force of the inner wheel and the braking force of the outer wheel.

[0053] Step 402: If the real-time yaw angle deviation is less than the preset minimum deviation threshold, perform a second control on the drive wheels of the target vehicle so that the driving force of the outer inner drive wheels of the target vehicle is greater than the driving force of the inner drive wheels.

[0054] Optionally, if the real-time yaw angle deviation is less than a preset minimum deviation threshold, it indicates that the real-time yaw rate is less than the target yaw rate, meaning the target vehicle's actual steering is too slow and there is a risk of understeer. In this case, a second control is applied to the target vehicle's drive wheels, making the driving force of the outer inner drive wheels greater than the driving force of the inner drive wheel. This second control could involve increasing the braking force of the inner wheel; increasing the driving force of the outer wheel; or simultaneously increasing the braking force of the inner wheel and increasing the driving force of the outer wheel.

[0055] In this embodiment, if the real-time yaw angle deviation is greater than a preset minimum deviation threshold, the drive wheels of the target vehicle are subjected to first control, such that the driving force of the inner drive wheel of the target vehicle is greater than the driving force of the outer drive wheel; if the real-time yaw angle deviation is less than the preset minimum deviation threshold, the drive wheels of the target vehicle are subjected to second control, such that the driving force of the outer inner drive wheel of the target vehicle is greater than the driving force of the inner drive wheel. This application can improve the efficiency of correcting the longitudinal force of the wheels, maximize the preservation of the vehicle's power and ride comfort, and ensure the stability of the vehicle.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a process for determining the target yaw rate in a vehicle control method. Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the determination of a target yaw rate in a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, based on steps 201-205 above, the method further includes: Step 501: Obtain the driving intention information of the target vehicle.

[0057] Among them, driving intention information can be the driver's intention to control the vehicle's movement, such as turning left, turning right, or going straight.

[0058] Optionally, the target vehicle is equipped with a steering wheel angle sensor, and the driving intention information of the target vehicle is determined based on the steering wheel angle detected by the steering wheel angle sensor.

[0059] For example, if a positive steering wheel angle is detected, the driving intention of the target vehicle is determined to be to turn left; if a negative steering wheel angle is detected, the driving intention of the target vehicle is determined to be to turn right; if a zero steering wheel angle is detected, the driving intention of the target vehicle is determined to be to go straight.

[0060] Step 502: Based on the driving intention information, determine whether the target vehicle is in a turning state.

[0061] Optionally, based on the driving intention information of turning left or right, it can be determined whether the target vehicle is in a turning state.

[0062] In step 203 above, the target yaw rate of the target vehicle is calculated based on the road surface adhesion coefficient, current vehicle speed, and front wheel steering angle, including: Step 503: If the target vehicle is turning, calculate the target yaw rate of the target vehicle based on the road surface adhesion coefficient, the current vehicle speed, and the front wheel steering angle.

[0063] Optionally, if the target vehicle is turning, the vehicle will generate a yaw rate. The target yaw rate of the target vehicle is calculated based on the road surface adhesion coefficient, the current vehicle speed, and the front wheel steering angle.

[0064] In this embodiment, the driving intention information of the target vehicle is obtained. Based on the driving intention information, it is determined whether the target vehicle is in a turning state. If the target vehicle is in a turning state, the target yaw rate of the target vehicle is calculated based on the road surface adhesion coefficient, the current vehicle speed, and the front wheel steering angle. This application determines the turning state through driving intention, avoiding misjudgment of the vehicle state. By determining the target yaw rate through the road surface adhesion coefficient, the target yaw rate can be adaptively adjusted, making the control of the vehicle more accurate.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a process for applying braking force to the wheels in a vehicle control method. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the process of applying braking force to the wheels in a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, based on steps 501-503 above, the method further includes: Step 601: If the target vehicle is traveling straight, but the front wheel steering angle indicates that the front wheels are turning, then it is determined that the target vehicle has experienced a straight-line sideslip.

[0066] Straight-line sideslip refers to the unexpected slippage of the wheels in the lateral direction when a vehicle is traveling on a straight road.

[0067] Optionally, if the target vehicle is traveling straight, but the front wheel steering angle indicates that the front wheels are turning, it means that when the driver is controlling the vehicle to travel straight, the front wheels of the vehicle are turning in a different direction than the direction controlled by the driver, and the target vehicle is determined to have performed a sideslip.

[0068] Step 602: Apply braking force to the wheel on the opposite side of the sideslip direction according to the steering angle corresponding to the sideslip direction.

[0069] Optionally, if the positive direction of the steering angle is defined as left-side sideslip, then the negative direction of the steering angle is defined as right-side sideslip. If a positive steering angle is detected, the sideslip direction of the target vehicle is determined to be left; if a negative steering angle is detected, the sideslip direction of the target vehicle is determined to be right.

[0070] For example, if the target vehicle's sideslip direction is determined to be to the left, then braking force is applied to the right wheels; conversely, if the target vehicle's sideslip direction is determined to be to the right, then braking force is applied to the left wheels.

[0071] In this embodiment, if the target vehicle is traveling straight, but the front wheel steering angle indicates that the front wheels are turning, it is determined that the target vehicle has experienced a straight-line sideslip. Based on the steering angle corresponding to the sideslip direction, braking force is applied to the wheels on the opposite side of the sideslip direction. This application achieves precise control after determining the sideslip based on the front wheel steering angle, enabling intervention to begin before the vehicle body shows significant lateral deviation, allowing more time to control the sideslip. By applying braking force to the opposite wheels, the intervention response speed is faster, and there is no need to significantly change the vehicle speed.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, this application also provides a process for controlling the longitudinal force of the wheels in a vehicle control method. Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating the longitudinal force control of wheels in a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, based on steps 201-205 above, the method further includes: Step 701: Calculate the maximum adhesion force of each wheel based on the road surface adhesion coefficient and the vertical load of each wheel in the target vehicle.

[0073] Among them, the vertical load on the wheel is the force perpendicular to the ground that is transmitted from the vehicle body and the load to the wheel through the suspension system when the vehicle is stationary or moving.

[0074] Optionally, based on the road surface adhesion coefficient and the vertical load of each wheel The maximum adhesion force of each wheel was calculated. .

[0076] The longitudinal force of each wheel is the sum of the braking force and the driving force of the wheel, while the lateral force of each wheel is obtained through the electronic braking system on the target vehicle.

[0077] Optionally, the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels is adjusted according to the maximum adhesion of the wheels, so that the sum of the longitudinal force and lateral force of each wheel does not exceed the maximum adhesion of the corresponding wheel, and at the same time, the real-time yaw angle deviation is reduced so that the yaw angle deviation is equal to a preset deviation threshold.

[0078] In this embodiment, the maximum adhesion force of each wheel is calculated based on the road surface adhesion coefficient and the vertical load of each wheel in the target vehicle. Based on the real-time yaw angle deviation and the maximum adhesion force of each wheel, the longitudinal force of the target vehicle's wheels is adjusted so that the sum of the longitudinal force and lateral force of each wheel does not exceed the maximum adhesion force of the corresponding wheel.

Figure 8 As shown, based on steps 201-205 above, the method further includes: Step 801: Determine whether the current driving road surface meets the preset road driving warning conditions based on the road surface condition parameters.

[0080] The road surface condition parameters include: dry, wet, ice, snow, and icy-snow, as well as the ice content, water film height, road surface temperature, and snow thickness. Preset road surface warning conditions may include: slippery conditions, low-temperature road surface icing warning conditions, high-temperature road surface softening conditions, road surface damage conditions, and road surface tilt / sideslip risk conditions, etc., but this application embodiment does not impose any limitations on these.

[0082] Step 802: If the preset route warning conditions are met, a driving warning message will be issued.

[0083] Optionally, if the preset path warning conditions are met, it means that the current road surface parameters are consistent with the parameters of the preset path warning conditions. In this case, a driving warning message is issued and sent to the vehicle's instrument panel, thereby prompting the driver to drive cautiously.

[0087] The two road surface detection devices are respectively installed on the left wheel and the right wheel, and the corresponding two road surface adhesion coefficients include the road surface adhesion coefficient of the left wheel and the road surface adhesion coefficient of the right wheel.

[0088] Optionally, if the road surface adhesion coefficients of the left wheel and the right wheel are the same in the two sets of road surface detection parameters, then the road surface adhesion coefficients corresponding to the road surface adhesion coefficients of the left wheel and the right wheel are taken as the target road surface adhesion coefficients.

[0089] Optionally, if the road adhesion coefficients of the left and right wheels are different in the two sets of road surface detection parameters, then the road adhesion coefficients of the left and right wheels are weighted separately to obtain the weighted road adhesion coefficient as the target road adhesion coefficient. The weights of the left and right wheel road adhesion coefficients can be determined based on the vertical load on the wheels; a larger vertical load corresponds to a larger weight.
