AI Technical Summary
Existing fault diagnosis methods for drive-by-wire chassis systems have low accuracy and stability under complex operating conditions and multi-source anomalies. Furthermore, they lack prior assessment of the effectiveness and safety of correction strategies, leading to decreased system stability. Additionally, onboard diagnostic models are difficult to dynamically adjust to maintain long-term adaptability.
An online diagnostic method based on causal reasoning and twin verification is adopted. By acquiring multi-source heterogeneous signals to construct an observation vector sequence, calculating instantaneous reconstruction error and window anomaly score, constructing a causal relationship matrix, performing counterfactual reasoning to locate the root cause of the fault, and optimizing the causal weights of the causal relationship matrix through a digital twin verification correction strategy.
It improves the accuracy and stability of fault diagnosis, enhances the operational stability of the vehicle control after correction, and continuously optimizes during vehicle operation to maintain long-term adaptability, avoiding the adverse effects of improper correction actions on the system.
