Lidar sensor denoising for adverse conditions and / or nonsalient objects

Particulate matter, such as fog, snow, rain, steam, vehicle exhaust, debris (plastic bags), etc. may cause one or more sensor types to generate false positive solid surface detections. In particular, various depth measurements may be impeded by particulate matter. Identifying false positive return(s) may comprise clustering lidar points, determining differences in range indicated by two different lidar devices having lidar points in the cluster, determining first differences that are more negative than a negative difference threshold and second differences that are more positive than a positive difference threshold, determining a first portion of lidar data in the cluster associated with the first differences and the second differences is associated with particulate matter or debris, and controlling a vehicle based at least in part on suppressing the first portion of the lidar data or indicating that the first portion of the lidar data is associated with particulate matter or debris.

Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control method for in-situ steering of distributed driving vehicle on wet and slippery road surface

The invention discloses a fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control method for in-situ steering of a distributed driving vehicle on a wet and slippery road surface, and aims to solve the problem of instability of the vehicle when a driving unit has faults such as driving failure, mechanical locking or excessive slipping. According to the method, the vehicle state is obtained in real time, the initial torque instruction is calculated, and online diagnosis and accurate recognition of the fault mode are achieved. Aiming at hardware faults such as driving failure, the system breaks and isolates a fault wheel; and aiming at excessive slipping, the torque is preferentially and actively reduced to recover the adhesive force, and temporary isolation is carried out after recovery failure. Once the fault unit is confirmed to be isolated, the system immediately starts a torque reconstruction module based on quadratic programming (QP), and the driving task is optimally redistributed to the remaining healthy wheels in real time so as to maintain the expected yaw moment of the whole vehicle. According to the strategy adopted by the invention, faults with different properties can be effectively distinguished and processed in a differentiated manner, and the control stability and active safety of the vehicle under the conditions of severe work and partial failure are remarkably improved.
