[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the memory 1005, which serves as a storage medium, may include an operating device, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a program for calculating the required number of test vehicles.

[0024] The device of this invention calls the test vehicle demand calculation program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001, and performs the following operations: Obtain test information on development categories and verification requirements related to performance development during the vehicle development process, and construct a mapping table of influencing factors affecting the number of vehicles for each project based on the development categories and the test information; Obtain the current development and testing task, and determine the corresponding target impact factor based on the current development and testing task and the influencing factor mapping table; Select a target vehicle demand calculation formula from the preset calculation formula library that matches the target impact factor, and calculate the current vehicle demand quantity according to the target vehicle demand calculation formula.

The test type, environmental conditions, vehicle configuration scheme, and verification objectives are taken as the core elements of the current development and testing task. The target influencing factor is obtained from the influencing factor mapping table, which corresponds to the core element and affects the calculation of vehicle demand quantity.

[0029] The device of the present invention, through processor 1001 calling the test vehicle demand calculation program stored in memory 1005, also performs the following operations: Obtain the vehicle model to be developed corresponding to the current development and testing task, and select a calculation formula library that matches the vehicle model to be developed from the preset database as the preset calculation formula library; Select a calculation formula from the preset calculation formula library that matches the target impact factor as the target vehicle calculation formula; The current vehicle demand quantity is calculated based on the target vehicle usage calculation formula.

[0030] The device of the present invention, through processor 1001 calling the test vehicle demand calculation program stored in memory 1005, also performs the following operations: Determine the development boundary conditions for each development stage in the current development and testing task; Based on the development boundary conditions, the quantified value of the target impact factor is used as an input parameter and input into the target vehicle calculation formula corresponding to different development stages to obtain the total number of test vehicles required to perform the current development and testing task. The total number of test vehicles is then used as the current vehicle demand quantity.

[0031] This embodiment, through the above-described scheme, obtains test information related to performance development categories and verification requirements during the vehicle development process. Based on the development categories and test information, it constructs a mapping table of influencing factors affecting the number of vehicles for each project. It then obtains the current development and testing task, determines the corresponding target influencing factor based on the current development and testing task and the influencing factor mapping table, and selects a target vehicle calculation formula matching the target influencing factor from a preset calculation formula library. The current vehicle demand is then calculated using the target vehicle calculation formula. This allows for rapid assessment of the number of vehicles in the development stage, achieving rapid and accurate prediction of the number of test vehicles needed. It effectively avoids resource waste caused by vehicle shortages or surpluses, optimizes resource allocation in the development process, significantly reduces verification costs and shortens the development cycle, and improves the speed and efficiency of calculating the number of test vehicles needed.

[0032] Based on the above hardware structure, an embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention is proposed.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention.

[0034] In the first embodiment, the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles includes the following steps: Step S10: Obtain test information on development categories and verification requirements related to performance development during the vehicle development process, and construct a mapping table of influencing factors affecting the number of vehicles for each project based on the development categories and the test information.

[0035] It should be noted that by obtaining the development categories and verification requirements of the whole vehicle performance development test information, an influencing factor mapping table can be constructed, which can provide a structured data foundation for subsequent vehicle quantity calculation.

[0036] Step S20: Obtain the current development and testing task, and determine the corresponding target influencing factor based on the current development and testing task and the influencing factor mapping table.

[0037] It should be understood that by analyzing the core elements of the current development and testing task and comparing them with the preset influencing factor mapping table, the specific target influencing factor value corresponding to the current development and testing task can be automatically and accurately matched and determined.

[0038] Step S30: Select a target vehicle usage calculation formula that matches the target influence factor from the preset calculation formula library, and calculate the current vehicle demand quantity according to the target vehicle usage calculation formula.

[0039] Understandably, the system can automatically match the corresponding formula in the pre-set calculation formula library based on the target impact factor, substitute the quantified value, calculate, and output the precise number of test vehicles required for the current development and testing task.

[0040] This embodiment, through the above-described scheme, obtains test information related to performance development categories and verification requirements during the vehicle development process. Based on the development categories and test information, it constructs a mapping table of influencing factors affecting the number of vehicles for each project. It then obtains the current development and testing task, determines the corresponding target influencing factor based on the current development and testing task and the influencing factor mapping table, and selects a target vehicle calculation formula matching the target influencing factor from a preset calculation formula library. The current vehicle demand is then calculated using the target vehicle calculation formula. This allows for rapid assessment of the number of vehicles in the development stage, achieving rapid and accurate prediction of the number of test vehicles needed. It effectively avoids resource waste caused by vehicle shortages or surpluses, optimizes resource allocation in the development process, significantly reduces verification costs and shortens the development cycle, and improves the speed and efficiency of calculating the number of test vehicles needed.

[0041] Furthermore, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, based on the first embodiment, a second embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, step S10 specifically includes the following steps: Step S11: Obtain the development categories involved in the vehicle development process, including power performance verification, economy testing, handling calibration, and NVH analysis.

[0042] It should be noted that dynamic performance verification is a testing process that evaluates the vehicle's acceleration performance, climbing ability, and maximum speed, among other power output characteristics; economic performance testing is a test that measures the vehicle's fuel consumption or electrical energy efficiency under standard operating conditions to evaluate its economic performance; handling calibration is a calibration process that optimizes the vehicle's driving stability and responsiveness by adjusting suspension and steering system parameters; and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis is a systematic process for detecting, analyzing, and optimizing noise, vibration, and harshness during vehicle operation. In the overall vehicle development process, this instruction requires the systematic extraction of test task information for core performance development categories such as dynamic performance verification, economic performance testing, handling calibration, and NVH analysis, including test items, environmental conditions, and configuration requirements, to provide accurate data input for the construction of the influencing factor mapping table.

[0043] Step S12: Obtain test information for each test item and vehicle configuration requirement during the vehicle development process.

[0044] It should be understood that in the whole vehicle development process, specific test data of each test item and its corresponding vehicle configuration requirements can be automatically extracted, providing structured input for influence factor mapping and vehicle requirement calculation.

[0045] Step S13: Obtain the mapping relationship between the development category, the test information, and the number of vehicles affected by each project, and construct a mapping table of influencing factors for different development categories, different test information, and different numbers of vehicles based on the mapping relationship.

[0046] Understandably, by analyzing the impact of development categories and testing information on the demand for test vehicles, a standardized influencing factor mapping table can be established to achieve automated and accurate correlation between development categories, testing information, and the number of vehicles used.

[0047] Furthermore, step S13 specifically includes the following steps: The development categories and test information are associated with the core factors affecting the number of vehicles used in each test item to obtain the mapping relationship between each development category, each test information and each core factor; The privacy relationship is standardized by pre-setting standardized mapping rules, and an influencing factor mapping table is constructed for different development categories, different test information and different vehicle usage numbers.

[0048] It should be understood that by establishing a precise correlation between development categories (such as power performance verification) and testing information (such as test items and vehicle configuration requirements) in vehicle development and core factors (such as power matrix and battery pack type) that affect the number of test vehicles required, the mapping relationship between development categories, testing information and core factors can be obtained. By applying preset standardized rules to normalize the mapping relationship, a structured influencing factor mapping table can be constructed to achieve a systematic correspondence between different development categories, testing information and the number of vehicles used.

[0049] Understandably, in the process of vehicle development, performance development covers core development categories such as power verification, economy testing, handling calibration, and NVH analysis. The specific test information required for its verification includes test items (such as high-speed durability testing and low-temperature calibration), environmental conditions (such as high-temperature / high-humidity conditions), vehicle configuration requirements (such as battery pack capacity and suspension type), and the corresponding number of test vehicles. Through the standardized definition of the influencing factor system (such as power matrix, battery pack type, and new chassis functions), this test information can be systematically acquired and quantified, thereby accurately predicting the number of test vehicles required at each development stage.

[0050] It should be understood that, based on the performance development categories in vehicle development (such as power verification, economy testing, handling calibration, and NVH analysis) and their corresponding test information (including test items, environmental conditions, and vehicle configuration requirements), an influencing factor mapping table is constructed. This table precisely links each development category with the test information to the core factors affecting the number of test vehicles required (such as power matrix, battery pack type, new chassis functions, etc.). Through standardized mapping rules, the systematization and quantification of vehicle demand in the development stage are achieved, ensuring precise connection throughout the entire process from defining development boundaries to predicting the number of vehicles.

[0051] This embodiment, through the above-described scheme, obtains the development categories involved in the vehicle development process, including power performance verification, economic testing, handling calibration, and NVH analysis; obtains the test information corresponding to each test item and vehicle configuration requirements during the vehicle development process; obtains the mapping relationship between the development categories, the test information, and the number of vehicles affected by each item; and constructs a mapping table of influencing factors for different development categories, different test information, and different numbers of vehicles based on the mapping relationship. This enables rapid and accurate prediction of the number of test vehicles required, effectively avoiding resource waste caused by vehicle shortages or surpluses, significantly optimizing the efficiency of R&D resource allocation, reducing verification costs, and shortening the development cycle.

[0052] Furthermore, Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the third embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, based on the first embodiment, a third embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, step S20 specifically includes the following steps: Step S21: Obtain the current development and testing tasks in real time through the vehicle R&D project management system.

[0053] It should be noted that by obtaining the current development and testing tasks in real time through the vehicle R&D project management system, the timeliness and completeness of task data can be ensured, providing accurate input for subsequent matching of influencing factors and calculation of vehicle demand quantities.

[0054] Step S22: Obtain the core elements of the current development and testing task, and obtain the influence factors corresponding to the core elements from the influence factor mapping table as target influence factors.

[0055] It is understandable that after obtaining the core elements of the current development and testing task, the core elements of the current development and testing task (such as test type and vehicle configuration requirements) can be automatically parsed, and the corresponding influencing factors can be accurately matched from the preset influencing factor mapping table to generate target influencing factors for subsequent vehicle demand quantity calculation.

[0056] It should be understood that in the vehicle development process, the current development and testing tasks (such as power performance verification, low temperature calibration, or intelligent driving function testing) are obtained in real time through the R&D project management system. Based on the pre-built influencing factor mapping table, the core elements of the task (including test type, environmental conditions, vehicle configuration requirements, and verification objectives) are accurately mapped to the corresponding influencing factors (such as power performance verification being associated with the power matrix and battery pack type, and low temperature calibration being associated with the suspension type and new safety functions). This dynamically determines the specific target influencing factor value corresponding to the task (for example, the power matrix is ​​set to plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and the battery pack type is set to high-capacity ternary lithium-ion battery), providing structured data support for the accurate calculation of the required number of test vehicles.

[0057] Furthermore, step S22 includes the following steps: The test objectives and configuration requirements in the current development and testing task are analyzed to obtain the test type, environmental conditions, vehicle configuration scheme, and verification objectives. The test type, environmental conditions, vehicle configuration scheme, and verification objectives are taken as the core elements of the current development and testing task. The target influencing factor is obtained from the influencing factor mapping table, which corresponds to the core element and affects the calculation of vehicle demand quantity.

[0058] In its implementation, within the vehicle development process, the system automatically extracts the core elements (including test type, environmental conditions, vehicle configuration scheme, and verification objectives) of the current development and testing task by parsing its detailed task description (such as task name, test objectives, and configuration requirements). Based on a pre-built influencing factor mapping table, it precisely maps these elements to the corresponding influencing factors (for example, associating "power performance verification" with "power matrix" and "battery pack type," and associating "low temperature calibration" with "suspension type" and "new safety features"). This dynamically generates the specific target influencing factor value corresponding to the task (such as the power matrix being PHEV and the battery pack type being high-capacity ternary lithium-ion battery), providing a structured input basis for the accurate calculation of the required number of test vehicles.

[0059] In practice, the development of a complete vehicle involves numerous performance development and verification requirements. The vehicle requirements will vary depending on the development boundaries of the vehicle. The impact of each project is shown in Table 1 below. Table 1. Mapping Table of Factors Affecting the Number of Vehicles Used in Vehicle Development and Testing:

[0060] This embodiment, through the above-described scheme, obtains the current development and testing tasks in real time through the vehicle R&D project management system; it obtains the core elements of the current development and testing tasks, and retrieves the influencing factors corresponding to the core elements from the influencing factor mapping table as target influencing factors. It can automatically parse the core elements and accurately match the influencing factor mapping table to dynamically determine the target influencing factors, realizing efficient initiation and accurate input of the prediction of the number of test vehicles required. It effectively avoids prediction deviations caused by manual intervention or information lag, significantly improves the timeliness and accuracy of development resource planning, and lays a reliable data foundation for reducing verification costs and shortening the development cycle.

[0061] Furthermore, Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the fourth embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, based on the first embodiment, a fourth embodiment of the method for calculating the required number of test vehicles according to the present invention is proposed. In this embodiment, step S30 specifically includes the following steps: Step S31: Obtain the vehicle model to be developed corresponding to the current development and testing task, and select a calculation formula library that matches the vehicle model to be developed from the preset database as the preset calculation formula library.

[0062] It should be noted that the system automatically identifies the vehicle model to be developed (such as PHEV or EV) corresponding to the current development and testing task, and accurately matches the calculation formula library specific to that vehicle model from the preset database. This library serves as the preset calculation formula library to support the dynamic calculation of the number of test vehicles required in the future.

[0063] Step S32: Select a calculation formula that matches the target influence factor from the preset calculation formula library as the target vehicle calculation formula.

[0064] Understandably, based on the target impact factor, matching calculation formulas can be automatically selected from a pre-set calculation formula library and determined as the target vehicle calculation formula, providing a structured input basis for the accurate calculation of the number of test vehicles required in the future.

[0065] Step S33: Calculate the current vehicle demand quantity according to the target vehicle calculation formula.

[0066] It should be understood that by substituting the quantitative value of the target impact factor into the target vehicle calculation formula, the precise number of test vehicles required for the current development and testing task can be calculated and output in real time.

[0067] It should be noted that in the whole vehicle development process, the system automatically matches the formula that completely corresponds to the combination of the factors (e.g., the intelligent driving verification formula for development stage B) from the preset staged vehicle use calculation formula library based on the quantitative value of the target influencing factors (e.g., the power matrix is ​​PHEV, the battery pack type is high-capacity ternary lithium-ion battery, the new chassis function is fully active suspension, etc.). The system substitutes the factor value into the formula for dynamic calculation and outputs the precise number of test vehicles required for the current development and testing task in real time, ensuring that the calculation results are highly consistent with the development boundary.

[0068] Furthermore, step S33 specifically includes the following steps: Determine the development boundary conditions for each development stage in the current development and testing task; Based on the development boundary conditions, the quantified value of the target impact factor is used as an input parameter and input into the target vehicle calculation formula corresponding to different development stages to obtain the total number of test vehicles required to perform the current development and testing task. The total number of test vehicles is then used as the current vehicle demand quantity.

[0069] It should be noted that, based on the target vehicle calculation formula, the system uses the quantitative values ​​of the target influencing factors (such as a value of 1 for the power matrix corresponding to PHEV, a value of 2 for the battery pack type corresponding to high-capacity ternary lithium-ion batteries, and a value of 3 for the new chassis function corresponding to fully active suspension) as input parameters. Through preset staged mathematical operations, the system dynamically substitutes these values ​​into the formula to generate the precise number of test vehicles required for the current development and testing task in real time. This number strictly matches the development boundary conditions (such as power type, configuration scheme, and verification stage) to ensure the accuracy of vehicle demand prediction and the efficient connection of the development process.
