[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or components is not necessarily limited to those steps or components clearly listed, but may include other steps or components that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present application, an embodiment of a vehicle control method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0038] FIG1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the method may include the following steps:

[0039] Step S102: Acquire the driving state data of the vehicle and the center of mass position of the vehicle during driving.

[0040] In the technical solution provided in step S102 above, the vehicle's driving status data and center of mass position can be detected in real time while the vehicle is driving. In this embodiment of the present application, a vehicle with four wheels is used as an example. The driving status data can be used to characterize the health status of the vehicle's wheels, that is, it can be used to diagnose whether there is a wheel fault. It can include data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, road slope, four-point vehicle height displacement information, air spring front left (FL) pressure, air spring front right (FR) pressure, air spring rear left (RL) pressure, and air spring rear right (RR) pressure during driving. It should be noted that the above driving status data is only illustrative and is not specifically limited here. As long as the data can detect the health status of each wheel in the vehicle, it is within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The center of mass position can be used to indicate the location of the vehicle's center of mass.

[0041] Optionally, while the vehicle is in motion, sensors deployed around the vehicle can be used to detect driving status data. For example, the vehicle's speed and the slope it is on can be detected. Acceleration can also be used to calculate the current slope of the vehicle. Four-point height signals of the vehicle's body and the pressure of the vehicle's four air springs can also be detected. Driving status data can be used to determine whether any of the vehicle's wheels are faulty, calculate the load on each wheel, and determine the current center of mass of the vehicle.

[0042] Step S104, in response to the driving status data indicating that a wheel of the vehicle is faulty and the center of mass position meets the driving protection function condition, the actual load distribution data of the vehicle is obtained, wherein the driving protection function condition is used to characterize that the wheel with a fault can be protected by adjusting the center of mass position.

[0043] In the technical solution provided in the above step S104 of the present application, after obtaining the driving status data of the vehicle and the center of mass position of the vehicle during driving, it is possible to determine whether there is a fault condition in the wheel in the driving status data, and it is also possible to determine whether the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions. If it is determined that the vehicle is in a fault condition and the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions, the current actual load distribution data of the vehicle can be obtained, wherein the driving protection function conditions can be used to characterize the ability to protect the wheel in a fault condition by adjusting the center of mass position, which can also be called a tire blowout driving protection function. The fault condition can be a tire blowout or deflation, etc., which is only an example here and does not specifically limit the wheel fault condition. The actual load distribution data can also be called the current load distribution of the vehicle or the current vehicle load distribution.

[0044] Optionally, after the driving state data of the vehicle is acquired, the vehicle body load borne by each of the four wheels may be calculated, and the position of the center of mass of the vehicle may be determined.

[0045] Optionally, when it is determined through driving status data that a wheel is faulty, it is possible to calculate whether the center of mass position of the vehicle meets the driving protection function conditions for each of the four wheels after the fault occurs, that is, whether it is possible to transfer the center of mass position of the wheel to a wheel on the ground plane where there is no fault by only changing the height of the four corners of the vehicle body without performing other operations. This situation is limited by the maximum minimum height and maximum height that can be provided by the air springs (empty springs) at the four corners of the vehicle body and the active suspension.

[0046] Optionally, after the above detection, if the center of mass position does not meet the driving protection function conditions in the current situation, it is necessary to determine whether the driver moves the position of the load in the vehicle or adds load at the diagonal corner of the wheel in the cabin in case of a fault, so that the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions.

[0047] Step S106: adjusting the heights of the four corners of the vehicle based on the actual load distribution data.

[0048] In the technical solution provided in the above step S106 of the present application, in response to the driving status data indicating that there is a fault in the vehicle's wheels and the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions, after obtaining the actual load distribution data of the vehicle, the height of the four corners of the vehicle can be adjusted based on the actual load distribution data.

[0049] Optionally, if one or several wheels are faulty, the center position of the vehicle cannot be transferred to the normal wheels by simply adjusting the height of the empty springs due to the maximum and minimum heights that can be provided by the empty springs at the four corners of the vehicle body. Therefore, the corresponding wheels can be recorded and the minimum load transfer required in the vehicle cabin can be calculated to transfer the center of mass to the normal wheels.

[0050] Optionally, if a faulty wheel is detected, a faulty driving protection control function can be triggered to the driver to determine whether the faulty wheel can achieve center of mass transfer to protect the faulty wheel. If so, the driver can be prompted to stop the vehicle and confirm the entry into the flat tire protection control program, pending adjustment of the vehicle's four corner heights.

[0051] Optionally, the heights of the four air springs of the vehicle may be controlled so that there is a height difference between the height of the empty spring at the wheel with the fault and the height of the empty spring at other normal wheels.

[0052] Step S108: Based on the adjusted four-corner heights, the center of mass position is transferred to a target area, wherein the target area is used to represent the load of the vehicle borne by the wheel in the prohibited fault condition.

[0053] In the technical solution provided in the above step S108 of the present application, after adjusting the heights of the four corners of the vehicle based on the actual load distribution data, the center of mass position can be transferred to the target area based on the adjusted heights of the four corners, wherein the target area can be used to characterize the load borne by the vehicle in a prohibited fault situation, and can be the range connected by the wheels in normal conditions.

[0054] Optionally, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be shifted by adjusting the heights of the four corners until the wheel with the fault does not need to bear the load of the vehicle at all, that is, the center of mass position is shifted to the target area.

[0055] If a wheel fails while a vehicle is driving, a spare tire must be promptly replaced or a tow truck must be requested to prevent further damage. Therefore, the technical problem of inefficient vehicle control when a wheel fails still exists. In an embodiment of the present application, an air spring in the vehicle can be utilized to control the vehicle height corresponding to the failed vehicle and the vehicle height of the normal vehicle. By changing the height difference between the failed wheel and the wheel diagonally opposite to it, the vehicle's center of mass is positioned within a target area. This prevents the failed tire from bearing the load, preventing further damage to the rim and tire of the failed wheel during driving. This allows the driver to smoothly drive the vehicle to the desired destination after the failed wheel is removed without causing further damage to the failed wheel. Therefore, by distributing the vehicle's load to other normal wheels, further damage to the failed wheel is avoided, and the need to promptly replace a spare tire or wait for a tow truck when a wheel fails is avoided, the technical problem of inefficient vehicle control when a wheel fails is solved.

[0056] Step S110 , in response to the centroid position being successfully transferred to the target area, controlling the vehicle to travel.

[0057] In the technical solution provided in the above step S110 of the present application, after the center of mass position is transferred to the target area based on the adjusted four corner heights, it can be determined whether the center of mass position is successfully transferred to the target area. If so, the vehicle can be controlled to travel.

[0058] Optionally, after the center of mass position is successfully transferred to the target area, the driver can be notified of the successful transfer and can restart the vehicle. The driver should be advised to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration during driving to minimize vehicle jolts. Furthermore, the vehicle's driving status data can be monitored in real time during driving. If a faulty wheel is detected to be bearing load during driving, the driver will be prompted to perform the vehicle load transfer operation again, i.e., the center of mass transfer operation.

[0059] In the above steps S102 to S110 of the present application, the driving status data and the center of mass position of the vehicle during driving are obtained; in response to the driving status data indicating that a wheel of the vehicle is faulty and the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions, the actual load distribution data of the vehicle is obtained, wherein the driving protection function conditions are used to characterize that the wheel with a fault can be protected by adjusting the center of mass position; based on the actual load distribution data, the heights of the four corners of the vehicle are adjusted; based on the adjusted heights of the four corners, the center of mass position is transferred to a target area, wherein the target area is used to characterize that the wheel with a fault is prohibited from bearing the load of the vehicle; in response to the center of mass position being successfully transferred to the target area, the vehicle is controlled to travel. That is to say, if the embodiment of the present application detects that a wheel of the vehicle is faulty in the driving status data during the driving process of the vehicle, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be detected. If the center of mass position of the vehicle also meets the driving protection function conditions at this time, the actual load distribution data of the vehicle can be obtained, and the height of the four corners of the vehicle can be adjusted according to the actual load distribution data, so as to transfer the center of mass position to the target area where the wheel without the fault does not need to bear the load of the vehicle. After successfully transferring to the target area, the vehicle can continue to travel. Considering that by sharing the load of the vehicle to other normal wheels, further damage to the wheel with the fault can be avoided, and the problem of needing to replace the spare tire in time or waiting on the spot to request a tow truck when the wheel has a fault is avoided, the technical problem of low efficiency in controlling the vehicle's driving when the wheel has a fault is solved, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling the vehicle's driving when the wheel has a fault is achieved.

[0060] The above method of this embodiment is further introduced below.

[0061] As an optional embodiment, in step S104, in response to the driving status data indicating that a wheel of the vehicle is faulty and the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions, before obtaining the actual load distribution data of the vehicle, the method may include: determining the number of wheels in the vehicle that are faulty; in response to the number being a target number, detecting the center of mass position; or, in response to the number not being the target number, sending a first prompt message to a target object of the vehicle, wherein the first prompt message is used to prompt the target object to control the vehicle to stop.

[0062] In this embodiment, before obtaining the vehicle's actual load distribution data, the driving status data can be used to determine whether any of the vehicle's wheels are faulty, and the number of wheels with faults can be determined. When the number of wheels with faults reaches the target number, the center of mass position can be tested to determine whether it meets the driving protection function conditions. If the number of vehicles with faults does not reach the target number, a first prompt message can be sent to a target object of the vehicle, where the first prompt message can be used to prompt the target object to control the vehicle to stop. The target number can be preset to one. The target object can be the vehicle's occupants, including the driver and passengers.

[0063] Optionally, when it is detected that the number of wheels with faults is greater than one, it may indicate that the safety of the vehicle is very low. At this time, if the driver still controls the vehicle without knowing it, there may be a major safety hazard. Therefore, when it is detected that the number of wheels with faults is greater than one, it is necessary to send a first prompt message to the driver on the graphical user interface on the vehicle, prompting the driver that the number of wheels with faults exceeds the standard and the vehicle needs to be stopped.

[0064] For example, when it is detected that two wheels in a vehicle have flat tires, corresponding text box information can be displayed on the vehicle's in-vehicle navigation interface, such as "There are two flat tires. The vehicle should not continue driving. It is recommended to slowly pull over and wait for a tow truck or change tires. Do not operate the steering wheel randomly while pulling over." The voice information can also be output through the voice device in the vehicle to prompt the driver, thereby reminding the driver to slowly pull over to ensure the driver's safety and to ensure that the tires in the vehicle are not further damaged. It should be noted that the above-mentioned method and content of sending the first prompt information to the driver are only for illustration and are not specifically limited here.

[0065] As an optional implementation method, step S106 adjusts the height of the four corners of the vehicle based on the actual load distribution data, including: in response to the quantity being the target quantity, determining the status data of the actual load distribution data; in response to the status data being a transfer of the center of mass position, sending a second prompt message to the target object, wherein the second prompt message is used to prompt the target object to confirm whether the center of mass position needs to be transferred; in response to the confirmation transfer instruction corresponding to the second prompt message, adjusting the height of the four corners.

[0066] In this embodiment, during the process of adjusting the height of the four corners of the vehicle based on actual load distribution data, when the number of wheels detected to be faulty reaches the target number, the status of the vehicle's actual load distribution data at that time can be determined. If the status data indicates a shift in the center of mass position, a second prompt message can be sent to the target object. The vehicle's four corner heights can be adjusted by confirming the shift instruction corresponding to the second prompt message. The second prompt message can be used to prompt the target object to confirm whether the center of mass position shift is required. The status data can be used to indicate whether the vehicle's actual load distribution data can cope with the center of mass shift for tire blowout protection.

[0067] Optionally, when it is detected that the number of wheels with faults is one and the status data of the actual load distribution data shows that the center of mass position can be transferred, a second prompt message can be sent to the driver, prompting the driver to keep the vehicle stopped and ask the driver to confirm entering the flat tire protection control program. At this time, the vehicle can be controlled to adjust the height of the four corners, and the driver can wait for the center of mass adjustment of the entire vehicle to be completed before driving the vehicle.

[0068] For example, when it is detected that the number of wheels with a flat tire is one, and the current vehicle load distribution can cope with the center of mass transfer of the flat tire protection, the corresponding text box information can be displayed on the graphical user interface in the vehicle. For example, it can be displayed "Please confirm whether to enter the flat tire protection control program", and the controls of "yes" and "no" can be displayed. The corresponding voice information can also be output through a voice device to prompt the driver, and the driver can confirm the transfer instruction by voice input of "yes" or "no". When it is detected that the driver clicks the "yes" control, or voice inputs the "yes" confirmation transfer instruction, the flat tire protection control program can be started. At this time, the voice device or the graphical user interface can display "Please pull over, the center of mass transfer is about to begin" to prompt the driver to stop and wait for the center of mass of the vehicle to adjust. It should be noted that this is only an example, and there is no specific restriction on the method and content of sending the second prompt message.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, step S106, in response to the confirmation transfer instruction corresponding to the second prompt information, adjusts the height of the four corners, including: adjusting the height of the air spring corresponding to the wheel, so that the height of the four corners is adjusted to obtain an adjustment result, wherein the adjustment result is used to represent the adjusted height of the four corners.

[0070] In this embodiment, when receiving the confirmation transfer instruction corresponding to the second prompt information, in the process of adjusting the four corner heights, the height of the air spring corresponding to the wheel can be adjusted, so that the four corner heights are adjusted to obtain an adjustment result, wherein the adjustment result can be used to represent the adjusted four corner heights.

[0071] Optionally, the heights of the four air springs corresponding to the four wheels of the vehicle can be controlled so that the height of the air spring on the side of the wheel where the fault occurs reaches a corresponding height difference with the height of the air spring corresponding to the wheel diagonally opposite to the wheel, thereby adjusting the heights of the four corners to obtain a height adjustment result, and based on the adjustment result, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be transferred.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, step S108, based on the adjusted four corner heights, transfers the center of mass position to the target area, including: based on the adjustment result, moving the center of mass position to the target area formed by the wheel line under normal conditions; in response to the center of mass position moving to the target area and maintaining the target time, controlling the air pressure at the wheel with the fault to be reduced, thereby completing the transfer of the center of mass position.

[0073] In this embodiment, when shifting the center of mass to a target area based on the adjusted four-corner heights, the center of mass can be shifted to the target area formed by the line connecting the wheels under normal conditions based on the adjustment results. When the center of mass is shifted to the target area and maintained for a target time, the air pressure at the wheel experiencing the fault can be reduced to complete the shift of the center of mass. The target time can be a preset time length or a time length set according to actual circumstances, for example, it can be preset to two seconds. It should be noted that the aforementioned target time length and setting method are merely illustrative and are not specifically limited herein.

[0074] Optionally, the height of the vehicle's four air springs can be controlled so that the height difference between the empty spring on the side of the blown tire and the corresponding empty spring on the tire diagonally opposite the blown tire reaches a target height difference, and this adjustment is maintained for two seconds. Theoretically, the vehicle's center of mass has now been adjusted to the target triangle area connecting the three wheels. At this point, if the air spring force supporting the ground on the blown tire is removed, the blown wheel will no longer bear the vehicle load. After the empty spring adjustment is completed and maintained for two seconds, the air spring on the blown tire can be controlled to reduce the air pressure to a certain extent to maintain the current shift in the center of mass position.

[0075] As an optional embodiment, step S106, the method further includes: if there is a shock absorbing device in the vehicle, controlling the shock absorbing device to raise the wheel with the fault to the target position and maintain it at the target position; and / or, if there is a suspension device in the vehicle, controlling the suspension device to detect the load of the vehicle to obtain a detection result, wherein the detection result is used to indicate whether the load is concentrated on the wheel in normal condition.

[0076] In this embodiment, if there is a shock absorbing device in the vehicle, the shock absorbing device can be controlled to raise the wheel with a fault to the target position and maintain the wheel at the target position. If there is a suspension device in the vehicle, the suspension device can be controlled to detect the load of the vehicle to obtain a detection result, wherein the detection result can be used to indicate whether the load in the vehicle is concentrated on the wheel in a normal condition. The shock absorbing device can be an active shock absorber. The suspension device can be an active suspension. The target position can be a height data preset in advance, or it can be a height data set by itself according to actual conditions. It should be noted that this is only an example and does not impose specific restrictions on the setting method of the target position. As long as the height of the wheel with a fault is lifted off the ground by the shock absorbing device, it is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.

[0077] Optionally, if the vehicle is equipped with active shock absorbers, the active shock absorbers can be controlled to raise the faulty wheel to a certain distance from the ground, and the valve system of the active shock absorber can be closed to maintain this height. If the vehicle does not have active shock absorbers or the active shock absorbers do not have the function of closing the valve system to maintain height, this step can be skipped.

[0078] Optionally, if the vehicle is equipped with active suspension, to confirm that the faulty wheel is no longer bearing the vehicle load, the vehicle can be lifted based on vehicle height information from the four vehicle height sensors. Furthermore, the load on the four air springs can be used to confirm that the load is concentrated on the three normal wheels. If the vehicle does not have active suspension, this determination is not necessary.

[0079] As an optional embodiment, step S106, based on the actual load distribution data, adjusts the height of the four corners of the vehicle, including: in response to the status data of the actual load distribution data being that the center of mass position cannot be transferred, sending a third prompt message to the target object, wherein the third prompt message is used to prompt the target object to move objects in the vehicle and / or increase the load on the diagonally opposite corners of the wheel in the fault situation; in response to the third prompt message, adjusting the center of mass position to meet the driving protection function conditions; in response to the center of mass position meeting the driving protection function conditions, obtaining the actual load distribution data; based on the actual load distribution data, adjusting the height of the four corners.

[0080] In this embodiment, in the process of adjusting the heights of the four corners of the vehicle based on the actual load distribution data, when it is detected that the status data of the actual load distribution data is that the center of mass position cannot be transferred, a third prompt message can be sent to the target object, and based on the third prompt message, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be adjusted to meet the driving protection function conditions. When the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions, the actual load distribution data can be obtained, and the heights of the four corners of the vehicle can be adjusted based on the actual load distribution data, wherein the third prompt message can be used to prompt the target object to move objects in the vehicle and / or increase the load on the diagonally opposite corners of the wheel in the fault situation.

[0081] Optionally, it is possible to detect whether the actual load distribution data of the vehicle can meet the driving protection function conditions. If the driving protection function conditions are not met, a third prompt message can be sent to the driver, prompting the driver to manually move objects in the vehicle to move the center of mass position of the vehicle, or to manually increase the load diagonally opposite the wheel in the fault situation so that the actual load distribution data of the current vehicle meets the driving protection function conditions.

[0082] For example, it is possible to detect whether the current vehicle load distribution can correspond to the center of mass transfer for tire blowout protection. If it cannot cope with the center of mass transfer for tire blowout protection, a corresponding text box message can be displayed on the vehicle's graphical user interface. For example, it can be displayed that "the tire with the blowout is the left front wheel. The owner is requested to manually move the items in the vehicle to the top of the right rear wheel, or increase the load in the cabin above the right rear wheel." The corresponding voice message can also be output through a voice device to prompt the driver. According to the above prompt message, the driver can move the items in the cabin to a position in the cabin above the right rear wheel on the opposite side of the left front wheel of the flat tire. It is also possible to place stones or any heavy objects in the cabin above the right rear wheel to increase the load on the right rear wheel, so that the current vehicle load distribution can cope with the center of mass transfer for tire blowout protection. When satisfied, a prompt message can be sent to the driver, and there is no need to manually transfer the center of mass position. It should be noted that the above method and content of sending the second prompt message are only for example purposes and are not specifically limited here.

[0083] As an optional embodiment, step S110, in response to the successful transfer of the center of mass position to the target area, controls the vehicle driving, including: in the process of controlling the vehicle driving, detecting the load data of the wheels under normal conditions; in response to the load data being less than the total load data, sending a fourth prompt message to the target object of the vehicle, wherein the fourth prompt message is used to prompt that a second center of mass transfer is required.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the center of mass position is successfully transferred to the target area, the normal wheel load data can be detected during the vehicle's driving control. If the load data is detected to be less than the total load data, a fourth prompt message can be sent to the target object of the vehicle. The fourth prompt message can be used to indicate that the vehicle needs to perform a second center of mass transfer. The load data can also be referred to as the load value. The total load data can also be referred to as the total load.

[0085] Optionally, after the center of mass position is successfully transferred to the target area, the driver can control the vehicle's driving, trying not to accelerate or decelerate suddenly and to avoid vehicle jolting. During this process, the three air springs corresponding to the three normal wheels can be monitored, and the corresponding load data can be calculated. It can also be confirmed whether the sum of the load data for these three wheels is less than the total load data. If the sum of the load data is less than the total load data, it can be indicated that there may be bumps or shaking during vehicle driving, causing the faulty wheel to contact the ground. At this time, the driver can be prompted to perform the vehicle's center of mass position transfer operation again, that is, a secondary load transfer operation can be performed.

[0086] For example, after the vehicle is running smoothly, the calculated load values ​​of the air springs on the three sides of the wheel that has not had a flat tire can be monitored in real time to see if the sum of the load values ​​carried by these three wheels is less than the total load. If it is less than the total load, it can be determined that the wheel on the side with the flat tire is in contact with the ground. At this time, a corresponding text box message can be displayed on the vehicle's graphical user interface, such as "The flat tire wheel has contacted the ground and secondary load transfer is required." A corresponding voice prompt message can also be output through a voice device to alert the driver.

[0087] As an optional embodiment, step S110, the method may also include: based on the confirmation of the secondary transfer instruction of the fourth prompt information, controlling the air pressure of the air spring of the wheel to return to the initial air pressure value; after restoring the initial air pressure value, re-determining the actual load distribution data and the height data of the wheel, wherein the height data includes the raised height of the wheel in a faulty condition and the lowered height of the wheel in a normal condition.

[0088] In this embodiment, based on the confirmation secondary transfer instruction of the fourth prompt information, the air pressure of the wheel air spring can be controlled to return to the initial air pressure value, and after returning to the initial air pressure value, the actual load distribution data and the height data of the wheels in the vehicle can be re-determined, wherein the height data can include the raised height to be raised for a vehicle with a fault, and can also include the lowered height to be lowered for a vehicle under normal circumstances.

[0089] Optionally, when the driver confirms the need to transfer the center of mass position, the air pressure of the air spring can be controlled to a corresponding air pressure value, so that the minimum load transfer required to achieve the tire blowout driving protection function can be recalculated, as well as the corresponding required height of the vehicle body raised on the side of the tire blowout and the height of the vehicle body lowered diagonally opposite the wheel on the side of the tire blowout.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, driving status data of a vehicle and the position of the center of mass of the vehicle are obtained during driving; in response to the driving status data indicating that a wheel of the vehicle is in a faulty condition and the center of mass position meets the driving protection function condition, actual load distribution data of the vehicle is obtained, wherein the driving protection function condition is used to characterize that the wheel in the faulty condition can be protected by adjusting the center of mass position; based on the actual load distribution data, the heights of the four corners of the vehicle are adjusted; based on the adjusted heights of the four corners, the center of mass position is transferred to a target area, wherein the target area is used to characterize that the wheel in the faulty condition is prohibited from bearing the load of the vehicle; in response to the center of mass position being successfully transferred to the target area, the vehicle driving is controlled. That is to say, if the embodiment of the present application detects that a wheel of the vehicle is faulty in the driving status data during the driving process of the vehicle, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be detected. If the center of mass position of the vehicle also meets the driving protection function conditions at this time, the actual load distribution data of the vehicle can be obtained, and the height of the four corners of the vehicle can be adjusted according to the actual load distribution data, so as to transfer the center of mass position to the target area where the wheel without the fault does not need to bear the load of the vehicle. After successfully transferring to the target area, the vehicle can continue to travel. Considering that by sharing the load of the vehicle to other normal wheels, further damage to the wheel with the fault can be avoided, and the problem of needing to replace the spare tire in time or waiting on the spot to request a tow truck when the wheel has a fault is avoided, the technical problem of low efficiency in controlling the vehicle's driving when the wheel has a fault is solved, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling the vehicle's driving when the wheel has a fault is achieved.

[0091] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are illustrated below with reference to preferred implementation methods.

[0092] Currently, if a vehicle experiences a tire blowout or other wheel failure while driving, a spare tire must be promptly replaced to prevent further damage to the faulty tire and rim. Once the vehicle reaches the repair location, the faulty tire can be used again after a simple repair. However, installing a spare tire requires space, thus occupying the vehicle's passenger compartment. Spare tires are also heavy, increasing the vehicle's load and fuel consumption. A tow truck can be called for in the event of a tire blowout or other wheel failure, but this often requires a long wait, and roadside assistance may not be available in remote areas, making vehicle rescue solutions costly and inefficient. So, how can a vehicle still drive smoothly to its designated location after a tire blowout? Currently, there is no technical solution to this problem.

[0093] A related technology proposes a method for controlling a vehicle tire blowout. The method may include: obtaining tire pressure information; determining whether a tire blowout exists based on the tire pressure information; and, in the event of a tire blowout, adjusting the vehicle height difference so that the vehicle height on the blown tire side is higher than the vehicle height on the unblown tire side and / or increasing the input torque to the wheel on the blown tire side. This method can effectively prevent vehicle rollover without causing a sudden drop in vehicle speed, thereby minimizing the risk of rear-end collisions, by implementing at least one of the following two adjustments: adjusting the vehicle height difference on both sides and increasing the input torque to the wheel on the blown tire side.

[0094] However, the above method still has the technical problem of low efficiency in controlling vehicle driving when a wheel fails.

[0095] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present application proposes a control method for shifting the center of mass of a vehicle after a tire blowout to support driving without damaging the tire rim. If the method detects that a wheel of the vehicle has a fault in the driving status data during vehicle driving, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be detected. If the center of mass position of the vehicle also meets the driving protection function conditions at this time, the actual load distribution data of the vehicle can be obtained, and the height of the four corners of the vehicle can be adjusted according to the actual load distribution data, so as to shift the center of mass position to a target area where the wheel with the fault does not need to bear the load of the vehicle. After successfully shifting to the target area, the vehicle can continue to travel. Considering that by sharing the load of the vehicle to other normal wheels, further damage to the wheel with the fault can be avoided, and the problem of needing to replace the spare tire in time or waiting on the spot to request a tow truck when the wheel has a fault is avoided, the technical problem of low efficiency in controlling vehicle driving when a wheel has a fault is solved, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling vehicle driving when a wheel has a fault is achieved.

[0096] The following is a further introduction to the embodiments of the present application.

[0097] FIG2 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle's center of mass transfer to support driving without damaging the tire rim after a tire blowout according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method may include the following steps:

[0098] Step S201 : determining the four-wheel loads and the center of mass position of the vehicle based on the driving state data of the vehicle.

[0099] In the technical solution provided in the above step S201 of the present application, the driving status data of the vehicle can be obtained, and the loads of the four wheels (four wheels) in the vehicle and the center of mass position of the vehicle can be determined through the driving status data.

[0100] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a functional communication architecture for vehicle operation according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3, driving status data may include vehicle speed, acceleration / road grade, four-point vehicle height displacement, air spring FL pressure, air spring FR pressure, air spring RL pressure, and air spring RR pressure. This is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting. Based on this driving status data, the vehicle's center of mass transfer and tire blowout protection strategy can be analyzed to prevent further damage to the tire blowout by controlling the air springs FL, FR, RL, and RR, as well as the active shock absorbers FL, FR, RL, and RR.

[0101] Optionally, while the vehicle is in motion, sensors deployed around the vehicle can be used to detect driving status data. For example, the vehicle's speed and the slope it is on can be detected. Acceleration can also be used to calculate the current slope of the vehicle. Four-point height signals of the vehicle's body and the pressure of the vehicle's four air springs can also be detected. Driving status data can be used to determine whether any of the vehicle's wheels are faulty, calculate the load on each wheel, and determine the current center of mass of the vehicle.

[0102] Optionally, after the driving state data of the vehicle is acquired, the vehicle body load borne by each of the four wheels may be calculated, and the position of the center of mass of the vehicle may be determined.

[0103] Optionally, when it is determined through driving status data that a wheel is faulty, it is possible to calculate whether the center of mass position of the vehicle meets the driving protection function conditions for each of the four wheels after the fault occurs, that is, whether it is possible to transfer the center of mass position of the wheel to a wheel on the ground plane where there is no fault by only changing the height of the four corners of the vehicle body without performing other operations. This situation is limited by the maximum minimum height and maximum height that can be provided by the air springs at the four corners of the vehicle body and the active suspension.

[0104] Optionally, after the above detection, if the center of mass position does not meet the driving protection function conditions in the current situation, it is necessary to determine whether the driver moves the position of the load in the vehicle or adds load at the diagonal corner of the wheel in the cabin in case of a fault, so that the center of mass position meets the driving protection function conditions.

[0105] Alternatively, the vehicle can calculate the required height to raise the vehicle on the side of the tire that has been blown and the required height to lower the vehicle diagonally opposite the tire to achieve the tire blowout protection function, or the minimum load transfer required to achieve the tire blowout protection function. Subsequently, it can be determined whether tire blowout information has been received. If so, the driver triggers the tire blowout protection control function. Otherwise, the vehicle's driving status data needs to be re-acquired.

[0106] Step S202 : determining whether the vehicle load distribution corresponds to the center of mass transfer for tire blowout protection.

[0107] In the technical solution provided in step S202 of the present application, it is possible to determine whether the current vehicle load distribution can cope with the center of mass shift of tire blowout protection. If so, step S205 can be executed; otherwise, step S203 can be executed.

[0108] Optionally, if one or several wheels are faulty, the center position of the vehicle cannot be transferred to the normal wheels by simply adjusting the height of the empty springs due to the maximum and minimum heights that can be provided by the empty springs at the four corners of the vehicle body. Therefore, the corresponding wheels can be recorded and the minimum load transfer required in the vehicle cabin can be calculated to transfer the center of mass to the normal wheels.

[0109] Optionally, if a faulty wheel is detected, a faulty driving protection control function can be triggered to the driver to determine whether the faulty wheel can achieve center of mass transfer to protect the faulty wheel. If so, the driver can be prompted to stop the vehicle and confirm the entry into the flat tire protection control program, pending adjustment of the vehicle's four corner heights.

[0110] Optionally, the heights of the four air springs of the vehicle may be controlled so that there is a height difference between the height of the empty spring at the wheel with the fault and the height of the empty spring at other normal wheels.

[0111] Optionally, when it is detected that the number of wheels with faults is greater than one, it may indicate that the safety of the vehicle is very low. At this time, if the driver still controls the vehicle without knowing it, there may be a major safety hazard. Therefore, when it is detected that the number of wheels with faults is greater than one, it is necessary to send a first prompt message to the driver on the graphical user interface on the vehicle, prompting the driver that the number of wheels with faults exceeds the standard and the vehicle needs to be stopped.

[0112] Optionally, when it is detected that the number of wheels with faults is one and the status data of the actual load distribution data shows that the center of mass position can be transferred, a second prompt message can be sent to the driver, prompting the driver to keep the vehicle stopped and ask the driver to confirm entering the flat tire protection control program. At this time, the vehicle can be controlled to adjust the height of the four corners, and the driver can wait for the center of mass adjustment of the entire vehicle to be completed before driving the vehicle.

[0113] Step S203: Send a third prompt message to prompt the driver to move objects in the vehicle and / or increase the load diagonally opposite to the wheel with the flat tire.

[0114] In the technical solution provided in the above step S203 of the present application, a third prompt message can be sent to the driver, prompting the driver to adjust the center of mass position of the vehicle by moving objects in the vehicle and / or increasing the load diagonally opposite the tire blowout wheel, so as to determine whether the current vehicle load distribution can cope with the center of mass transfer of tire blowout protection, and execute step S204.

[0115] Optionally, it is possible to detect whether the actual load distribution data of the vehicle can meet the driving protection function conditions. If the driving protection function conditions are not met, a third prompt message can be sent to the driver, prompting the driver to manually move objects in the vehicle to move the center of mass position of the vehicle, or to manually increase the load diagonally opposite the wheel in the fault situation so that the actual load distribution data of the current vehicle meets the driving protection function conditions.

[0116] Step S204 , determining whether the vehicle load distribution corresponds to the center of mass transfer for tire blowout protection.

[0117] In the technical solution provided in the above step S204 of the present application, it is possible to detect whether the vehicle load distribution after adjustment by the driver can cope with the center of mass shift of tire blowout protection. If so, step S205 can be executed. Otherwise, step S203 can be executed.

[0118] Step S205: Send a second prompt message to adjust the center of mass position of the vehicle.

[0119] In the technical solution provided in the above step S205 of the present application, the heights of the four air springs corresponding to the four wheels of the vehicle can be controlled so that the height of the air spring on the side of the wheel where the fault occurs reaches a corresponding height difference with the height of the air spring corresponding to the wheel diagonally opposite to the wheel, thereby adjusting the heights of the four corners to obtain a height adjustment result, and thus the transfer of the center of mass position of the vehicle can be completed based on the adjustment result.

[0120] Optionally, the height of the vehicle's four air springs can be controlled so that the height difference between the empty spring on the side of the blown tire and the corresponding empty spring on the tire diagonally opposite the blown tire reaches a target height difference, and this adjustment is maintained for two seconds. Theoretically, the vehicle's center of mass has now been adjusted to the target triangle area connecting the three wheels. At this point, if the air spring force supporting the ground on the blown tire is removed, the blown wheel will no longer bear the vehicle load. After the empty spring adjustment is completed and maintained for two seconds, the air spring on the blown tire can be controlled to reduce the air pressure to a certain extent to maintain the current shift in the center of mass position.

[0121] Optionally, if the vehicle is equipped with active shock absorbers, the active shock absorbers can be controlled to raise the faulty wheel to a certain distance from the ground, and the valve system of the active shock absorber can be closed to maintain this height. If the vehicle does not have active shock absorbers or the active shock absorbers do not have the function of closing the valve system to maintain height, this step can be skipped.

[0122] Optionally, if the vehicle is equipped with active suspension, to confirm that the faulty wheel is no longer bearing the vehicle load, the vehicle can be lifted based on vehicle height information from the four vehicle height sensors. Furthermore, the load on the four air springs can be used to confirm that the load is concentrated on the three normal wheels. If the vehicle does not have active suspension, this determination is not necessary.

[0123] Step S206 , confirming whether the load of the vehicle is concentrated on the three wheels that are not flat.

[0124] In the technical solution provided in step S206 of the present application, it is possible to determine whether the vehicle load is concentrated on the three wheels in a normal state, that is, on the wheels that are not flat. If so, step S207 can be executed. Otherwise, step S209 can be executed.

[0125] Step S207: prompting the driver to control the vehicle.

[0126] In the technical solution provided in the above step S207 of the present application, optionally, after the center of mass position is successfully transferred to the target area, the driver can control the vehicle's driving. During this process, try not to accelerate or decelerate suddenly and try to avoid vehicle bumps.

[0127] Step S208: Determine whether the sum of the loads carried by the three wheels is less than the total load.

[0128] In the technical solution provided in step S208 of the present application, while the driver is controlling the vehicle, it can be determined whether the sum of the loads carried by the three wheels is less than the total load. If so, step S209 can be executed. Otherwise, step S207 can be executed.

[0129] Step S209: prompting the driver to perform the vehicle load transfer operation again.

[0130] In the technical solution provided in the above step S209 of the present application, the driver can be prompted that the current vehicle needs to perform a load transfer operation again.

[0131] Optionally, while the driver is controlling the vehicle, the three air springs corresponding to the three normal wheels can be monitored and their corresponding load data calculated. The system can then determine whether the sum of the load data for these three wheels is less than the total load data. If the sum of the load data is less than the total load data, this indicates that the vehicle may have experienced bumps or vibrations during driving, causing the faulty wheel to contact the ground. In this case, the driver can be prompted to perform a secondary load transfer operation, i.e., to shift the center of mass of the vehicle again.

[0132] Optionally, when the driver confirms the need to transfer the center of mass position, the air pressure of the air spring can be controlled to a corresponding air pressure value, so that the minimum load transfer required to achieve the tire blowout driving protection function can be recalculated, as well as the corresponding required height of the vehicle body raised on the side of the tire blowout and the height of the vehicle body lowered diagonally opposite the wheel on the side of the tire blowout.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, if it is detected in the driving status data during the driving process that a wheel of the vehicle is faulty, the center of mass position of the vehicle can be detected. If the center of mass position of the vehicle also meets the driving protection function conditions at this time, the actual load distribution data of the vehicle can be obtained, and the heights of the four corners of the vehicle can be adjusted according to the actual load distribution data, so as to transfer the center of mass position to the target area where the wheel with the fault does not need to bear the load of the vehicle. After successfully transferring to the target area, the vehicle can continue to travel. Considering that by sharing the load of the vehicle to other normal wheels, further damage to the wheel with the fault can be avoided, and the problem of needing to replace the spare tire in time or waiting on the spot to request a tow truck when the wheel has a fault is avoided, the technical problem of low efficiency in controlling the vehicle's travel when the wheel has a fault is solved, and the technical effect of improving the efficiency of controlling the vehicle's travel when the wheel has a fault is achieved.
