Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle control technology, specifically a dynamic gear shifting control strategy for heavy vehicles based on driving intention recognition. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy-duty vehicles play a vital role in both transportation and industry, and with industrial development, the performance requirements for these vehicles are constantly increasing. Power performance and economic efficiency, as core performance indicators of heavy-duty vehicles, directly affect driving performance and operating costs. Gear shifting has a significant impact on power transmission and fuel consumption, while driving intention reflects the driver's needs for performance, fuel efficiency, or comfort. Combining driving intention with gear shift control strategies helps promote the intelligent development of vehicles.
[0003] In recent years, vehicle shift control strategies have become a research hotspot. Optimization-based shift point optimization control methods have emerged as a viable technical approach. Currently, the main methods used are static optimization and fuzzy model control, which suffer from problems such as high computational load, high algorithm complexity, and difficulty in online solution. Therefore, this paper employs a greedy algorithm to optimize shift points, decomposing the global optimal solution for driving economy and power performance into local optimal solutions for each subproblem. Finally, the obtained local optimal solutions are superimposed and considered as the global optimal solution, thereby achieving real-time online optimization of the shift control strategy.
[0004] Current patents, such as the invention patent with patent number CN202511051420.7, propose a shift control system and method based on vehicle speed prediction, and the invention patent with patent number CN202411064164.0, propose an AMT shift strategy selection method, system, device, and medium based on operating condition prediction. The former introduces a vehicle speed prediction module, which improves the accuracy of shift timing to some extent, but does not fully consider the driver's driving intentions, driving habits, and reaction capabilities. The latter's shift decision-making method based on operating condition prediction, while shortening shift time, relies on traditional control logic based on offline clustering of historical data and operating condition matching, resulting in an inability to dynamically adjust shifts. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a collaborative control strategy that integrates dynamic optimization, online prediction, and a balance between economy and power performance to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of vehicle driving performance and operating costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention aims to propose a dynamic shift control strategy for heavy-duty vehicles based on driving intention recognition. This strategy employs a hierarchical control architecture: In the perception and recognition layer, vehicle operating state parameters are collected, data is smoothed using a local weighted regression algorithm, and a classification threshold is determined by combining K-means clustering. A long short-term memory neural network (LSTM) is used to construct a driving intention recognition model, outputting the current driving intention category in real time. In the speed prediction and optimization layer, the LSTM network is used to predict the vehicle speed in the prediction time domain. Simultaneously, an objective function is constructed using power performance and economic performance as evaluation indicators. A greedy algorithm is used to search for and solve for local optimal solutions in the prediction time domain, obtaining the power-oriented and economy-oriented shift speeds optimized by the greedy strategy. In the strategy adaptation layer, the real-time recognized driving intention is combined with the optimized shift speed. Adaptive shift rules are formulated by dynamically allocating the weights of power performance and economic performance.
