    Tang Rongjiang, Hu Binfei, Zhang Miao, Lu Zengjun, Xiao Fei, Lai Fan
    Automotive Engineering    2020, 42 (4): 522-530.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2020.04.015
    Abstract793)      PDF(pc) (3787KB)(4007)      
    Aiming at the issue of front window and interior aerodynamic noise caused by rear-view mirror, the numerical simulation of exterior rear-view mirror region and prediction of interior noise in a commercial vehicle are studied by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The SST(Menter)k-ω model in RANS model is used for steady-state analysis, and the detached eddy simulation based on the SST(Menter)k-ω model is used for transient analysis. By analyzing the nephograms of steady static pressure and transient dynamic pressure, velocity and vorticity, the mechanism of turbulent pressure fluctuation of side window caused by A-pillar and rear-view mirror is revealed, meanwhile the transient flow field is solved to obtain the surface turbulent pressure fluctuation load on two side windows. Acoustic FEM method is adopted to calculate the propagation of aerodynamic noise with the turbulent pressure fluctuation on window surface as boundary condition. Based on the distribution law of sound pressure level nephogram of interior acoustic space at different frequencies, it is indicated that the interior aerodynamic noise is mainly concentrated in the middle and low frequency ranges and the maximum distribution region of sound pressure level, and the sound pressure level curve at driver's left ear exhibits the variation law of the sound pressure level in the frequency range of 20-2 500 Hz. Finally, a real vehicle coasting road test is conducted, verifying the conclusion that the aerodynamic noise is more apparent at the speed range of 80-110 km/h. The adoption of CFD technique combined with acoustic FEM can relatively accurately predict the sound pressure level of interior aerodynamic noise at the frequency range of 100-2 500 Hz, providing technical schemes of simulation and test for optimizing rear-view mirror and reducing cabin aerodynamic noise

    Abstract1535)      PDF(pc) (6630KB)(2077)      
    Different from the mechanical noise and the combustion noise of low-frequency order ignition in internal combustion engine, the noise of electric drive assembly in electric vehicles is mainly the high-frequency whistling generated by electromagnetic force and gear meshing. Noise below 2000-2500 Hz of electric drive assembly propagates into vehicle cabin mainly through structural paths. In view of the high torque of the driving motor of electric vehicles, the vibration isolation performance of electric drive assembly mounts should be as high as possible while ensuring their torsion resistant performance. In this paper, the powertrain vibration characteristics of electric vehicle and traditional fuel vehicle as well as the angular displacement around transverse axis and forces of mounts in different mount layout schemes are compared, and the main factors affecting the vibration isolation rates of electric drive assembly are analyzed. Finally, the general design principles for the drive assembly mounts of electric vehicle are summarized.

    Abstract2568)      PDF(pc) (2252KB)(1862)      
    To improve the online capacity estimation accuracy of lithium-ion batteries, an adaptive capacity estimation scheme combining the online capacity identification based on the features of a few charging curves with Arrhenius capacity decay model is proposed. In view of the seldom situations of complete charging in battery electric vehicles, an online capacity identification scheme based on voltage characteristic points of constant-current charging curves is put forward. The scheme uses genetic algorithm to optimize the voltage characteristic points of the scaled and translated charging curves first and then online identify the present capacity of the battery by monitoring the constant-current charging data regarding the two fixed voltage characteristic points. For further enhancing the accuracy of online capacity estimation, an incremental PID algorithm is used to fuse the online capacity estimation and Arrhenius model to perform the closed-loop correction of model parameters. Finally, the results of cycle life experiment under alternating temperature condition show that the maximum estimation error of the proposed adaptive estimation scheme is less than 2%.

Then the objective function is solved by the quadratic programming problem with constraints and the first control volume of the optimal sequence is applied to the system. The experimental results show that the maximum lateral error is less than 0.52 m and the maximum heading error is less than 0.067 rad when the vehicle speed is less than 15 m/s under double lane-changing conditions.

    Abstract916)      PDF(pc) (2881KB)(1284)      
    To enhance the safety, stability and efficiency in lane change, a multi-vehicle coordinated lane change strategy under the condition of intelligent network connection is proposed in this paper. The feasibility of coordinated lane change is judged by establishing a gain function based on incentive model. Based on model predictive control, a multi-objective optimization control function for coordinated lane change is built to realize distributed control in lane change process. For overcoming the difficulty in solving optimal control function, caused by the high-dimension of collision avoidance constraint and the nonlinearity of vehicle kinematics, a two-stage coordinated lane change framework is proposed, which divides the lane change process into sparse longitudinal distance phase and lane change phase. The rolling horizon optimization algorithm is adopted to solve the optimization control problem step by step. Finally, a Matlab/Simulink co-simulation is conducted based on US NGSIM open source traffic flow data, verifying the feasibility and correctness of the strategy proposed

    To evaluate the safety of takeover in Level 3 automated vehicles, the takeover scenario on a two-way six-lane highway is designed to conduct driving simulation experiments based on driving simulator. Drivers carry out the secondary tasks in vision all along during automated driving. The secondary tasks are watching arrowhead charts with three different-degrees of difficulty and the takeover scenario is that ago vehicle comes across a broken-down vehicle in front on the same lane, with a take-over request time of 7 s and an automated vehicle speed of 110 km/h. A total of 49 testees (30 males, 19 females) are recruited for experiment with an average age of 31.06 years (standard deviation: 7.10 years). After the vehicle sends auditory and visual request signals for takeover, testee should push the switch button on steering wheel to take back vehicle control. Bivariate logistic regression is used to build the evaluation model for takeover safety, with the group of minimum TTC taken as dependent variable: minimum TTC ≤ 1s is set as dangerous group and minimum TTC > 1s is set as safe group. The results show that in the condition of 7s takeover request time, the factors affecting takeover safety are takeover reaction time and secondary task, and the prediction accuracy of the takeover safety evaluation model built reaches 85.5%.
