[0111] Here, the on-board power supply 810 includes an on-board power supply 811 and an on-board power supply 812.

[0113] It should be noted that the chassis integration control method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed by a chassis integration control system, or a control module in the chassis integration control system for executing the chassis integration control method.

[0114] FIG9 shows a flow chart of a chassis integration control method provided in yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG9 , the chassis integration control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes S110 to S160.

[0115] S110. Acquire signals from multiple components, including a rotation angle signal, an electronic mechanical brake caliper clamping force signal, a torque signal, a speed signal, an image signal, a suspension height signal, an acceleration signal, an angular velocity signal, a displacement signal, and a brake pedal depression state signal.

[0116] Here, the signals of multiple components are signals provided in the chassis integrated control system, including: wheel angle signal, wheel speed signal, front camera image signal, suspension height signal, vehicle body acceleration signal, vehicle body angular velocity signal, steering wheel angle signal, steering wheel torque signal, brake pedal displacement signal, brake pedal switch signal, accelerator pedal displacement signal, wheel-side motor drive and anti-drag torque, electronic mechanical caliper clamping force and drive torque signal, etc.

[0117] S120. In the case where a target signal provided by a target component among the multiple components is not obtained, the target signal is set to a first signal, and the signals of the multiple components obtained and the first signal are fused using Kalman filtering and a multi-degree-of-freedom vehicle model to obtain dynamic parameters of the vehicle. The target signal is a signal provided by any one of the multiple components.

[0118] In an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, when a target component in a chassis integrated control system fails, a target signal provided by the target component cannot be obtained. If target signals provided by target components among multiple components are not obtained, the target signal is set to a first signal.

[0119] In the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, before the signals of the acquired multiple components and the first signal are fused using Kalman filtering and a multi-degree-of-freedom vehicle model, the input signals of the acquired multiple components and the first signal are filtered, calibrated, and diagnosed in sequence, and after processing, an effective, reliable, and highly accurate usable signal is obtained. Among them, the acceleration signal of the vehicle body needs to be dynamically calibrated. Currently, commonly used acceleration sensors will have signal drift during use. In some algorithms that require integral calculation of the signal, the signal drift will have a significant impact on the accuracy of the algorithm calculation results. Therefore, the signal needs to be dynamically calibrated. Calibration refers to the real-time signal calibration of the vehicle while it is driving. For example, the process of calibrating the Y-axis acceleration signal of the vehicle body includes:

[0120] Step 1: Calculate a reference value; use the filtered Y-axis acceleration signal as the first Y-axis acceleration signal, use the Y-axis acceleration estimation signal calculated using the Kalman estimation algorithm as the second Y-axis acceleration signal, and use the difference between the first Y-axis acceleration signal and the second Y-axis acceleration signal as the first error value;

[0121] Step 2: Identify the signal calibration window and calculate the calibration value. Condition 1: When all four wheel slip angles are less than the first characteristic value. Condition 2: The absolute value of the first error value is greater than the second characteristic value. If the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the first error value is less than the third characteristic value within a specified period of time that continuously meets conditions 1 and 2, the average value of the first error value during this period is used as the second error value.

[0122] Step 3: Signal calibration: The first Y-axis acceleration signal is added to the second error value to obtain a third Y-axis acceleration signal. The third Y-axis acceleration signal is a dynamically calibrated signal.

[0123] It should be noted that the calibration of the vehicle body's X and Z acceleration signals follows the same principle as the dynamic calibration algorithm for the vehicle body's Y acceleration signal, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0124] Here, the vehicle's dynamic parameters may include but are not limited to: front wheel turning angle, rear wheel turning angle, wheel slip angle, vertical, longitudinal, lateral force between the tire and the ground, wheel angular acceleration, tire slip rate, tire pressure, road adhesion coefficient, road slope, vehicle mass, vehicle longitudinal speed and vehicle lateral speed.

[0125] As an example, using Kalman filtering and a multi-degree-of-freedom vehicle model to fuse the acquired signals of multiple components and the first signal to obtain the dynamic parameters of the vehicle may include:

[0126] Step 1: Based on the multi-degree-of-freedom vehicle model, a state equation is constructed with parameters such as the vehicle's longitudinal speed, lateral speed, angular velocity, vehicle mass, road adhesion coefficient, and road slope as state variables. The observation equation uses wheel speed, suspension height, vehicle acceleration, and angular velocity as observation variables. Parameters such as steering wheel angle, wheel-side motor drive and back-drag torque, and electromechanical caliper clamping force are used as control variables in the state equation and observation equation to obtain the Kalman filter equation system.

[0127] Step 2: Use the Kalman state estimation algorithm to calculate and obtain the estimated value of the above state quantity;

[0128] Step 3: Based on the vehicle and wheel kinematic model, according to the estimated values ​​of the above-mentioned state quantities, the front wheel angle, rear wheel angle, wheel sideslip angle, vertical, longitudinal, lateral force between the tire and the ground, tire slip rate and other parameters are calculated. Among them, the multi-degree-of-freedom vehicle model and the vehicle and wheel kinematic model are known vehicle modeling methods and will not be repeated here.

[0129] S130: Perform a logical judgment on the driver's intention using the first signal related to the driver to obtain the driver's intention information.

[0130] In the embodiments provided in the present disclosure, the first driver-related signal may include but is not limited to a steering wheel angle signal, a steering wheel torque signal, a brake pedal displacement signal, a brake pedal switch signal, and an accelerator pedal displacement signal, and the intention information may include but is not limited to steering, acceleration, and deceleration.

[0131] The method for determining intent information is as follows:

[0132] The driver's intention information can be calculated using formula (1), formula (2) and formula (3), which are as follows:

[0133] F Drive =f(AccPedalRatio) (1)

[0134] F Brake =g(BrakePedalRatio) (2)

[0135] δ=h(SteeringAngle) (3)

[0136] Among them, F Drive =f(AccPedalRatio) is a function related to the accelerator pedal opening signal, F Brake =g(BrakePedalRatio) is a function related to the brake pedal opening signal, and δ=h(SteeringAngle) is a function related to the steering wheel angle signal. Among them, formula (1), formula (2) and formula (3) are functions input by the user. These three functions can be customized according to user needs, for example, Among them A f , B f For parameter calibration, the formula expressions of these three functions can be in any form as long as they can achieve the corresponding functions. There is no restriction here.

[0137] S140 : Input the intention information and the vehicle parameter information into a preset linear vehicle model to obtain the target dynamic parameters of the vehicle.

[0138] Here, the preset linear vehicle model is a model set in advance by the user. According to user needs, the user can set different models. In the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the preset linear vehicle model is a model input by the user, which can be an equation or a group of equations.

[0139] In the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, a preset linear vehicle model is used as a calculation basis to quantify the driver's intention information and obtain the target dynamic parameters of the vehicle.

[0140] As an example, the process of determining the target dynamic parameters of a vehicle is:

[0141] (a) For the longitudinal target dynamic parameter a x , calculated using formula (4), formula (4) is as follows:

[0142] Where m is the weight of the vehicle, v is the longitudinal velocity of the vehicle, and F Drive is the vehicle longitudinal driving force, F Brake is the vehicle longitudinal braking force, C Wind is the vehicle drag coefficient, F Roll is the rolling resistance of the vehicle. Wind and F Roll is the value entered by the user, F Drive =f(AccPedalRatio) and F Brake =g(BrakePedalRatio) is an expression input by the user. Wind 、F Roll 、F Drive and F Brake Can be customized according to user needs, F Drive and F Brake The expression of can be in any form as long as it can achieve the corresponding function. There is no restriction here. Wind 、F Roll 、F Drive and F Brake They represent the ideal vehicle wind resistance characteristics, rolling resistance characteristics, accelerator pedal response characteristics, and brake pedal response characteristics respectively.

[0143] (b) Lateral target dynamic parameter a y and yaw target dynamic parameters Calculation is performed using formula (5) and formula (6), which are as follows:

[0144] Among them, I Z is the vehicle's Z-axis moment of inertia, k f 、k r are the lateral stiffness of the front and rear axles respectively, β is the sideslip angle of the center of mass, r is the yaw rate, a and b are the distances from the center of mass to the front and rear axles respectively, k f and k r is the value input by the user, and the expression of δ=h(SteeringAngle) is the expression input by the user. f 、k rand δ can be customized according to user needs. The expression of δ can be in any form as long as it can achieve the corresponding function. There is no restriction here. f 、k r and δ represent the ideal vehicle front axle and rear axle tire lateral stiffness characteristics and steering wheel angle response characteristics, respectively.

[0145] Here, longitudinal refers to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, lateral refers to the direction in which the vehicle moves left and right, and yaw refers to rotation about the vehicle.

[0146] In the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the preset linear vehicle model can be changed by the user, thereby achieving different vehicle target dynamic parameters while keeping the driver's intention information unchanged, thereby achieving the effect of adjustable vehicle handling characteristics.

[0147] In the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, by calibrating and adjusting the above-mentioned autonomously defined variables and functions, the vehicle dynamics target value can be adjusted, thereby achieving the effect of adjustable vehicle handling characteristics.

[0148] S150: Construct a cost function, input the target dynamic parameters, the vehicle body comfort target value, and the dynamic parameters into the cost function and the degree-of-freedom vehicle model, and determine the target front wheel steering angle, the target rear wheel steering angle, the target wheel driving and braking torques, and the target shock absorber additional force.

[0149] In the embodiments disclosed herein, a cost function is constructed using target dynamic parameters and a target vehicle comfort value. The target vehicle comfort value is: the target values ​​for the vehicle pitch and roll angles are set to zero. Model predictive control is performed based on a 14-degree-of-freedom vehicle model, using the front wheel angle, rear wheel angle, wheel drive and braking torque, and shock absorber additive force as control variables. The target front wheel angle, rear wheel angle, wheel drive and braking torque, and shock absorber additive force are then determined and output as control targets.

[0150] When a component of the chassis integrated control system fails, the constraints on each control variable are updated based on the actual performance of each component. For example, if the front wheel steering motor assembly 211 fails, the ability to control the front wheel angle is lost. The constraints on the control variable front wheel angle are set to zero. This results in the model predictive control calculation results being the target values ​​of each control variable without front wheel angle control.

[0151] S160: Use the target front wheel steering angle and the target rear wheel steering angle to control the wheel steering motor assembly, use the target wheel driving and braking torques to control the wheel side drive motor and the electronic mechanical brake caliper assembly respectively, and use the target shock absorber additional force to control the adjustable shock absorber.

[0152] In the embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the optimal tire slip rate is obtained, and the difference between the tire slip rate obtained in S120 and the optimal tire slip rate is used as the control target. The proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller is used to take the wheel drive and braking torque as the control targets and output the first target wheel drive and braking torque.

[0153] Compare the target wheel drive and braking torque obtained in S140 with the absolute value of the first target wheel drive and braking torque, select the smaller one as the final target wheel drive and braking torque, and use the final target wheel drive and braking torque to control the wheel-side drive motor 410 and the electronic mechanical brake caliper assembly 310 respectively.

[0154] The target front wheel steering angle is used to control the front wheel steering motor assembly 211 , the target rear wheel steering angle is used to control the rear wheel steering motor assembly 212 , and the target shock absorber additional force is used to control the adjustable shock absorber 510 .

[0155] Existing chassis electronic control systems operate relatively independently, yet each has its own impact on the vehicle's dynamic state. Consequently, when multiple relatively independent chassis electronic control systems are in operation, their impacts on the vehicle can conflict, resulting in each system failing to achieve the expected performance. Related technologies employ only single-point longitudinal and lateral control coordination, making it difficult to achieve true, in-depth integration of longitudinal, lateral, and vertical control to achieve optimal control objectives. Furthermore, solving multiple system models separately wastes computing resources, signals with varying time steps and precision are difficult to integrate, and control objectives vary significantly across different scenarios. In the embodiments provided herein, a chassis integrated control system (ICC) enables coordinated control among various components, coordinating the control of various actuators based on vehicle handling performance, comfort, and stability objectives. This achieves vehicle control that balances vehicle handling performance, comfort, and stability. Using an ICC and IC control method to integrate control of various chassis electronic control components achieves hardware and software integration, improves chip computing power utilization, and reduces computing power requirements. Compared to traditional distributed chassis electronic control systems, this significantly simplifies the system architecture and reduces costs. The chassis integrated control system and chassis integrated control method jointly realize heterogeneous redundancy of vehicle longitudinal and lateral control, ensuring that the vehicle still has good lateral and longitudinal control capabilities in the event of any single point failure.
