Abstract

This application provides a method and system for predicting brake clamping force. The method includes: obtaining a state measurement vector at the current moment based on the measured motor current and piston position values ​​in the braking system; obtaining a pre-update state prediction vector and a pre-update covariance matrix at the current moment based on an extended Kalman filter; calculating an innovation at the current moment based on the current state measurement vector and the pre-update state prediction vector, and calculating a Kalman gain at the current moment based on the pre-update covariance matrix; updating the pre-update state prediction vector and the pre-update covariance matrix based on the current moment's innovation and Kalman gain to obtain a post-update state prediction vector and a post-update covariance matrix at the current moment, wherein the post-update state prediction vector includes a post-update brake clamping force prediction value. This application can accurately estimate the brake clamping force without the need for a physical clamping force sensor.
