Abstract:

In order to achieve the accurate identification of road unevenness under actual acceleration and deceleration driving conditions, a road surface identification method based on augmented Kalman filtering algorithm with consideration of vehicle acceleration (AKF-a) is proposed. With the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle as the known input, and the vertical and pitching vibrations of vehicle body as the observation vectors, the augmented Kalman filter observer is designed to estimate the roughness information of road surface. The international roughness index within the fixed displacement window length is obtained to achieve the grade classification of road surface. The results of simulation show that under typical non-uniform speed conditions, urban operating conditions and braking conditions, the identification accuracy of road unevenness and the correctness of road grade classification with AKF-a algorithm proposed are apparently higher than those with general AKF algorithm and can effectively identify the unknown input road surface.

Key words: road surface roughness, augmented Kalman filter, vehicle acceleration, road grade classification
