Background Technology

[0002] Traditional vehicle stability control systems typically rely on the vehicle's own sensors or onboard cameras to estimate the road surface adhesion coefficient and make control decisions based on this. However, these methods still have limitations.

[0003] Vehicle sensors struggle to anticipate road conditions ahead, especially in blind spots or complex road conditions, limiting their warning and control capabilities. Furthermore, there is an estimation lag; dynamic estimation depends on the vehicle's current state and exhibits a certain degree of lag, making feedforward control impossible.

[0004] Traditional control methods lack a coordination mechanism and fail to fully utilize the information exchange between roadside facilities and vehicles, thus failing to leverage the overall advantages of vehicle-road-cloud collaboration. They cannot provide more accurate and forward-looking estimates of the road adhesion coefficient for following vehicles by fusing multi-source information such as roadside cameras, preceding vehicle dynamics data, and cloud data processing, thereby improving the vehicle's handling stability under extreme conditions.

[0137]

[0138] Step 2: Obtain the visual road surface adhesion coefficient from the roadside camera.

[0139] As a roadside sensing device, the roadside camera acquires and analyzes images of the road surface ahead to achieve precise identification of the road surface condition and obtain an estimate of the visual road surface adhesion coefficient. The specific steps are as follows:

[0140] (1) Roadside image acquisition and preprocessing: High-definition cameras deployed at key locations on the road (such as curves, hilltops, and accident-prone sections) continuously acquire image data of the road surface in front of the vehicle at a preset sampling frequency. The acquired raw images are preprocessed, including grayscale conversion, contrast enhancement, Gaussian filtering to suppress noise, and regions of interest (ROIs) are divided to focus on the effective road surface area along the vehicle's trajectory.

[0141] (2) Road surface condition recognition based on the MobileNetV3+ model: The lightweight convolutional neural network model MobileNetV3+ is used as the core classifier. The preprocessed road surface image is input into the model, which utilizes its depthwise separable convolution and bottleneck structure to efficiently extract multi-level features. Finally, the classifier outputs the road surface condition category. The category is based on a predefined classification system, including but not limited to dry asphalt pavement - minor damage, dry asphalt pavement - severe damage, wet asphalt pavement - minor damage, wet asphalt pavement - severe damage, snow-covered pavement, and icy pavement.

[0142] (3) Visual pavement adhesion coefficient mapping: Establish a lookup table that maps predefined pavement condition categories to typical adhesion coefficient values. Based on the specific pavement condition category identified by the MobileNetV3+ model in step (2), query and output the corresponding nominal visual pavement adhesion coefficient estimate from this lookup table. For example, when identified as "icy road surface", the mapped... The value is 0.15; when identified as "dry asphalt pavement - minor damage", the mapped value is... The value is 0.85.

[0143] (4) Visual estimation confidence assessment: At the same time, the confidence of this visual estimation is assessed based on the probability vector output by the final Softmax layer of the MobileNetV3+ model. Confidence level The calculation formula is:

[0144] ,

[0145] Among them, P i This represents the probability value by which the model classifies the road surface image into the i-th category. The higher the value, the higher the credibility of the visual recognition result. This confidence level will be used for dynamic adjustment of the fusion weights in step three.

[0146] (5) Data output: The roadside calculation unit will output the calculated visual pavement adhesion coefficient estimate. and their corresponding confidence levels The information is sent to the relevant vehicles through the vehicle-road cooperative communication link described in step four.

[0147] Step 3: Integrate the visual road surface adhesion coefficient and the dynamic road surface adhesion coefficient.

[0148] Step 1: Use a discrete-time Kalman filter with the adhesion coefficient μ as the state to establish the system model:

[0149] ,

[0150] In the formula, w k It is process noise, which follows a Gaussian distribution with zero mean and variance Q;

[0151] Step 2: Substitute two observation sources: the estimated dynamic road adhesion coefficient μ dyn and the estimated visual road surface adhesion coefficient μ vis ;

Multiplying them together yields the result;

[0159] Specifically, it is expressed as follows:

[0160] ,

[0161] Visual observation noise variance:

[0162] ,

[0163] In the formula: The fundamental noise variance of visual observations represents the inherent uncertainty of visual estimation under ideal conditions.

[0164] : The confidence level of the visual estimation, output by the visual recognition model;

[0165] Adjustment factors based on environmental condition E, which includes light intensity, weather conditions, road surface texture, camera occlusion, and other factors affecting the accuracy of visual recognition;

[0166] Based on road surface change signs The adjustment function, when When =1, it indicates that a change in road surface type has been detected, and the function reflects higher uncertainty by increasing the noise variance;

[0167] E: Environmental conditions, including lighting, weather, road surface texture, and visual perception-related factors;

[0184] ,

[0185] The final fusion result is the filter's state output. This is the estimated value of the adhesion coefficient after fusion.

[0186] Step 4: Establish communication between the roadside workstation and the vehicle.

[0187] Intelligent connected systems can be mainly divided into three information modules: "vehicle-road-cloud". Through information interaction among all parties, the coordination of vehicles, roads and cloud is realized, and the estimated value of road surface adhesion coefficient is ultimately transmitted.

[0188] The data packet sent from the roadside unit to the vehicle-side unit includes at least: the fused road surface adhesion coefficient value, the road segment location information corresponding to the coefficient, the valid timestamp of the data, and the confidence level of the roadside unit for the coefficient.

[0189] The roadside unit includes at least one camera and a roadside computing workstation. The camera is used to acquire road surface images, and the roadside computing workstation is configured to perform the following operations: identify the visual road surface adhesion coefficient based on the image and fuse it with the dynamic road surface adhesion coefficient received from the vehicle.

[0190] The vehicle-side unit includes onboard sensors, a communication module, and a vehicle controller. The onboard sensors are used to estimate the dynamic road surface adhesion coefficient, the communication module is used to interact with the roadside unit, and the vehicle controller is configured to receive the fused road surface adhesion coefficient and execute a handling stability control strategy based on it.

[0191] The cloud server communicates with the roadside unit and vehicle-mounted unit to store and distribute historical road surface data and fusion results.

[0192] Step 5: Determine the current risk of instability based on the road surface adhesion coefficient.

[0193] (1) Wheel lock-up. According to the single-wheel model, to prevent wheel lock-up, the braking force of the brakes must be less than the frictional force exerted on the wheels by the ground:

[0194] ,

[0195] To prevent wheel lock-up, the braking force of the brakes must be less than the frictional force exerted on the wheels by the ground.

[0196] (2) Centrifugal force causes sideslip. The vehicle travels at a speed V x Moving on a circle of radius r, once the centrifugal force exceeds the lateral force F provided by the tire... y This will cause the vehicle to become unstable.

[0197] (3) Oversteer caused by certain driving conditions. Understeer vehicles have a certain degree of high-speed stability, but under normal circumstances, the vehicle tends to veer inward when braking in a curve. The reason for this tendency is that when the vehicle brakes, the load on the rear wheels is transferred to the front wheels to a greater extent, making the forward torque greater than the reverse torque.

[0198] Step Six: Implement vehicle handling stability control strategies based on the assessment of the danger.

[0199] (1) Design of Upper-Level Controller Based on Sliding Mode Control According to vehicle dynamics theory, the formula for calculating the total longitudinal resultant force ∑ Fx of the vehicle is as follows:

[0201] In the formula: γ is the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle; γ is the yaw rate; v is the lateral speed; and m is the mass of the vehicle.

[0213] ∑ M = I z γ

[0214] In the formula I z Let H(·) be the moment of inertia about the Z-axis at the vehicle's center of mass. The yaw rate is the rate of change of the sliding surface of the sliding mode controller. γ It can be expressed as a function with a saturation function as follows:

[0215] H(·) γ = -ε γ sat( H γ -k γ H γ

[0216] In the formula H γ H is the sliding surface for the yaw rate sliding mode controller. γ = γ -γ d Where γ is the actual yaw rate, γ d For the desired yaw rate; sat( H γ ) is a saturation function, and

[0217] ,
