Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of buffer control, and more particularly to a retarder predictive cooperative control method based on multi-source fusion and model prediction, a retarder predictive cooperative control system based on multi-source fusion and model prediction, electronic equipment, storage media, and a vehicle retarder test bench. Background Technology

[0002] As a core auxiliary braking device for heavy commercial vehicles, retarders are mainly divided into two categories: hydraulic retarders and eddy current retarders. They are key equipment for vehicle braking safety on long downhill slopes, effectively reducing the load on the service brakes, preventing brake fade, and improving driving safety and the service life of braking components. Currently, the mainstream retarder control methods are mainly divided into two categories: one is the driver manual operation mode, where the driver manually activates and adjusts the retarder gear based on road condition experience. This relies on subjective judgment, has a delayed response, and is prone to problems such as speeding, excessive braking, or retarder overheating; the other is the basic automatic control mode, which triggers the retarder intervention through a single sensor signal of vehicle speed and acceleration, only achieving passive braking control and lacking the ability to predict road conditions.

[0003] Current status of control methods:

[0004] 1. Insufficient road condition perception dimensions, short prediction range and low accuracy, unable to adapt to complex dynamic road conditions, greatly reducing the effectiveness of predictive control.

[0005] 2. The control algorithm has a low level of intelligence, the braking torque adjustment has no smooth transition, the driving comfort is poor, and it is easy to cause shock to the vehicle's transmission system, which will lead to a shortened transmission system life.

[0006] 3. The coordination logic of multiple braking systems is chaotic, the allocation of braking resources is unreasonable, the service brake still intervenes frequently, and the wear and heat fade problems have not been completely resolved;

[0007] 4. The retarder's thermal management and control strategies are disconnected, resulting in poor stability during continuous operation and insufficient service life and adaptability to operating conditions.

[0008] 5. The energy recovery needs of new energy commercial vehicles were not taken into account, resulting in serious waste of braking energy, which contradicts the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction in vehicles.

[0009] To address the problems of existing retarder control technologies, such as single sensing, outdated algorithms, insufficient coordination, lack of thermal management, and poor energy efficiency, this invention provides a retarder predictive collaborative control strategy based on multi-source information fusion and model prediction. This strategy enables long-distance accurate road condition prediction, intelligent torque smooth adjustment, hierarchical coordination of multiple braking systems, and adaptive thermal management optimization, thereby comprehensively improving retarder braking efficiency, driving safety, ride comfort, and vehicle energy efficiency.

[0130] Example 4: The collaborative control system architecture includes: a multi-source information sensing module; a data fusion processing module; a model prediction and decision-making module; a collaborative control execution module; an adaptive thermal management module; and a feedback calibration module.

[0131] The multi-source information perception module is mainly used to identify the current vehicle's location, vehicle status, and other data based on six data sources: high-precision map, GNSS positioning, millimeter-wave radar, vehicle-mounted camera, vehicle load, and V2X vehicle network.

[0139] Step S2: To address the issues of noise, delay, and error in multi-source data, a linear Kalman filter algorithm is used for real-time data fusion and calibration, constructing a state equation (Equation 1) and an observation equation (Equation 2) to eliminate redundant errors and improve the accuracy of road condition and vehicle state parameters.

[0140]

[0141] In the formula,

[0142] The system state vector at time k includes the vehicle speed v, acceleration a, and gradient at the current time. Distance d from the vehicle in front;

[0143] The state transition matrix represents the propagation relationship of state variables over time. This is the filtering period (i.e., the data acquisition frequency);

[0148] The specific filtering steps first predict the vehicle speed, gradient, and other data for the next moment (k) based on the actual vehicle state at the previous time step (k-1) and considering vehicle driving patterns (assuming no sudden changes under normal circumstances). Then, the actual measurement data acquired by the sensors at time step (k) is compared with the theoretical predictions, and a final accurate value is calculated through weighted balancing. This final value serves as the actual vehicle speed, gradient, and other parameters for the next moment, providing data support for subsequent MPC algorithms.

[0149] Step S3: Based on the vehicle longitudinal dynamics model, construct the discrete state space equation (3). With the goal of minimizing the vehicle speed tracking error, minimizing the torque change rate, and minimizing the retarder energy consumption in the prediction time domain, establish a multi-objective optimization function (4) with the target vehicle speed, braking torque, and retarder temperature as constraints, and solve the optimal retarder braking torque and intervention / exit timing in a rolling manner.

[0150]

[0151] In the formula,

[0152] : System state variables of vehicle speed and accelerator at time k;

[0153] : Control variable (retarder braking torque at time k);

[0154] : Disturbance variables (slope rolling resistance and gravity drag);

[0157] Where m is the total mass of the vehicle (including load), g is the gravitational accelerator, and f is the rolling resistance coefficient. This refers to the road slope.

[0158]

[0159] In the formula,

[0160] To predict the time domain, if If we set it to 100, it means the prediction time domain is 10 seconds in the future;

[0161] To control the time domain and reduce computational load, generally ;

[0165] , where is the rate of change of torque;

[0166] Predict the retarder oil temperature at time k+i for time k; The safe threshold for the operating oil temperature of the retarder is 150℃.

[0167] The constraints are:

[0168] ;

[0169] The above multi-objective optimization function adopts a weighted approach, taking into account vehicle speed tracking accuracy, braking smoothness, and retarder thermal load.

[0170] The multi-objective optimization problem described above is transformed into a quadratic programming mathematical problem q. The optimal braking torque at each moment in the future time domain is quickly calculated using the interior point method. Then, the optimal braking torque is solved in real time through rolling optimization. (That is, road condition data is collected again after each control cycle T, and the solution is rolled over again).

[0171] Step S4: According to the three-level braking condition logic and the torque distribution formula, control commands are sent to the retarder, engine, motor and brake pedal. The optimal braking torque calculated in step S3 can be accurately distributed.

[0172] Specifically, based on the optimal braking torque calculated in step S3 This embodiment mainly divides braking demand levels into three levels. Light braking, medium braking, and heavy braking.

[0173] ;

[0174] In the formula,

[0175] The first braking threshold; This is the second braking threshold.

[0176] The specific braking torque distribution is shown in the following formula.

[0177] ;

[0178] In the formula,

[0179] , This is the engine braking intervention weighting coefficient. This refers to the engine braking torque;

[0180] , This is the weighting coefficient for motor braking intervention. For the driving torque of the electric motor;

[0181] , This is the retarder braking intervention weighting coefficient. For the retarder braking torque;

[0182] , This is the weighting coefficient for vehicle braking intervention. For driving braking torque;

[0183] Notice: The requirements only apply to new energy vehicles; traditional fuel vehicles are not equipped with electric motor braking.

[0184] ① Under light braking requirements: This means that the service brake and retarder brake do not need to engage. Engine braking and electric motor braking (for new energy vehicles) are activated first, while the retarder remains in standby mode and does not engage.

[0185] ② Under medium braking requirements: This means that the service brakes are not required. Braking is primarily achieved through the retarder, with low-torque engine braking and electric motor braking matched according to a weighted distribution coefficient. The service brakes do not engage.

[0186] ③ Under heavy braking requirements: , , , All four values ​​are not zero, and all braking systems engage to some extent. The retarder braking engagement coefficient is at least 0.8, which, combined with engine braking and electric motor braking, slightly engages the service brakes when the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold to ensure that the vehicle speed remains within a safe range.

[0187] Step S5: Based on the thermal balance equation (5), monitor the core temperature parameters of the retarder in real time, compare with the threshold, dynamically adjust the torque output through the temperature compensation coefficient, and start the auxiliary heat dissipation logic;

[0188]

[0189] In the formula,

[0190] C is the retarder heat capacity coefficient; This refers to the braking power of the retarder; This refers to heat dissipation power.

[0191] The retarder oil temperature calculated from the heat balance equation is used to determine the adaptive adjustment of the braking torque. The adaptive adjustment formula is shown in equation (6).

[0192]

[0193]

[0194] In the formula,

[0195] For the torque after thermal management adjustment, This is the temperature compensation coefficient. The higher the temperature, the smaller the compensation coefficient, resulting in a linear decrease in torque and preventing sudden temperature rises.

[0196] Step S6: Collect execution results and vehicle status data in real time, and correct the weight coefficients in the model prediction decision module in step S3 and the filtering parameters in step S2 in a closed loop to improve control accuracy.
