Abstract:

Tire wear not only affects vehicle driving safety, but also has an important impact on the optimization of tire physical model parameters. In this paper, a tire wear state estimation method that can be applied to strain type intelligent tires is proposed. Firstly, the circumferential strain of the inner liner of the moving tire is obtained by using finite element technology and the impact mechanism of wear on it is analyzed. Four feature indicators closely related to tire wear are proposed. Then, based on the global sensitivity indicator theory, the sensitivity of these wear features to tire using conditions (wear, tire pressure, vehicle speed, and load) and the inner liner sensitive area are explored. The results show that the first derivative of the circumferential strain at the center point of the tire inner liner is the most sensitive to wear features, while the circumferential strain at 17-27 mm on either side of the center point is the most sensitive to wear features, which can be used to guide the sensor installation position. Finally, the Gaussian process regression is used to develop the wear state estimation model, and the average RMSE of the model estimation results considering the tire use conditions is only 0.166 mm. This method not only ensures the estimation accuracy, but also makes full use of the established data resources during the vehicle driving process, ensuring effective monitoring and management of tire wear state.
