    In order to improve the active safety of four-wheel independent drive electric vehicles under extreme conditions such as low adhesion road driving and high-speed steering, a predictive control-based dynamic integrated control method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, in order to balance the modeling accuracy of the prediction model and the computational burden of the controller, the nonlinear yaw dynamic model is simplified by a piecewise affine approximation, and then the prediction model of the hybrid system is established. Secondly, the instability mechanism of the multi-time-varying parameter system is analyzed. The maneuvers with bifurcation are defined as the extreme conditions, and the unified vehicle stability judgement method for different extreme conditions such as low adhesion and high speed is developed to determine the switching mechanism of the control mode. Then, the integrated dynamic control strategy based on the robust hybrid predictive control algorithm is proposed, which systematically considers the vehicle speed variation and tire nonlinear lateral deflection characteristics under the extreme conditions, and coordinately optimizes the anti-skid performance, yaw stability and other safety indexes. The processor-in-the-loop test shows that the proposed integrated dynamic control strategy can meet the control requirements of low adhesion road driving and high-speed steering conditions, and significantly improve the active safety of the vehicle under extreme conditions.

    Automotive Engineering    2022, 44 (6): 799-808.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2022.06.001
    Abstract445)   HTML47)    PDF(pc) (2911KB)(650)      

    The proposed safety of the intened functionality (SOTIF) has challenged the safety of traditional automatic emergency braking (AEB) system. To deal with it, this paper uses systems-theoretic process analysis (STPA) to obtain the SOTIF requirements of the AEB. On the basis of the traditional AEB, a safety speed planning strategy for the perceptual blind scenes is added. Then, based on the kinematics model of the encounter between the vehicle and the pedestrian in the perceptual blind scenes, the formula of blind scenes safe speed is constructed. Then a speed sliding mode controller with a nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to track and control the speed. Finally, the simulation test is carried out on the joint platform of CarSim and Simulink to compare the safety of the proposed system with the automatic emergency braking system without the intended functional safety requirements, which is further verified via the hardware-in-the-loop experiment. The results show that the AEB considering the SOTIF can effectively reduce the risk of pedestrian collision and ensure the efficiency of vehicles passing through blind spots safely.

    Peijun Fang,Yingfeng Cai,Long Chen,Yubo Lian,Hai Wang,Yilin Zhong,Xiaoqiang Sun
    Automotive Engineering    2022, 44 (10): 1469-1483.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2022.10.001
    Abstract612)   HTML62)    PDF(pc) (7582KB)(542)      

    The vehicle dynamics modeling process based on mechanism analysis is usually simplified with assumptions,which can't accurately calculate the dynamic changes of actual vehicles under different road conditions, thus causing problems such as low trajectory tracking control accuracy and instability of intelligent automotive. To tackle the above-mentioned problems, this paper proposes a non-linear modeling and control method based on hybrid modeling technology. By constructing mechanism analysis - data-driven vehicle dynamics series hybrid model, the vehicle state and control data are calculated and processed by the mechanism model, and then used as the input of the data-driven module after a level combination. Besides, long-short-term memory network used as the backbone realizes the nonlinear correlation feature extraction of time-series data and the final model output calculation. The test results show that the model can supplement some unmodeled dynamics in the mechanism model, improve the model calculation accuracy and has the ability to implicitly understand different road adhesion conditions. In addition, the Euler integration is used to complete the discretization of the prediction model and design the model predictive control track tracking algorithm. The feedforward feedback control algorithm is designed to provide external input required by the prediction model in the horizontal control while realizing the longitudinal control of the vehicle, finally achieving more accurate trajectory tracking control effect that is more in line with the actual driving environment. The co-simulation results of Carsim / Simulink show that the method achieves accurate output of different road attachment coefficients, synchronously enhances the intelligent automotive trajectory tracking control accuracy and stability, and has good horizontal and longitudinal coordination control.

    Abstract721)   HTML25)    PDF(pc) (2181KB)(535)      

    This paper proposes a Yolo v5 network fused with Lite-HRNet to solve the problem of missed detection in the current target detection algorithm for autonomous driving field when detecting small and dense targets. Firstly, in order to obtain high-resolution feature detection maps, Lite-HRNet is used as the backbone network of Yolo v5 to enhance the detection of small and dense objects. In order to improve the detection performance in dark scenes, the infrared image and the visible light image are dynamically weighted to give full play to the complementary advantages of the visible light image and the infrared image. Because of the sufficient feature fusion of the backbone network, in order to speed up the detection speed, the feature fusion structure in the detection layer is cancelled. Secondly, α-EIoU is used as the bounding box loss function in order to speed up the convergence and improve the regression accuracy. At the same time, the bisecting K-means algorithm is used for clustering to select more appropriate anchor boxes for the data set, and the small target data augmentation algorithm is used for sample expansion of the dataset. Finally, a comparative test with Yolo v5 on the flir dataset is conducted. According to the experimental results, the average detection accuracy of this algorithm is 7.64% higher than Yolo v5, and the missed detection rate of small targets and dense targets is significantly reduced.

    Abstract194)   HTML10)    PDF(pc) (2087KB)(511)      

    In order to decrease the power consumption for EV heating, it is proposed that there are heating performance zones for heat pump system heating within the ambient temperature range of -20 to 5℃ based on the heating performance test of the heat pump system. The PTC coupling heating strategy of the heat pump with PTC involving in the low efficiency zone in advance is developed. The system model built by AMESim is used for simulation and the comparison study is conducted with the traditional strategy. Compared with the heat pump with 6 000 r/min rotary speed coupling 278.95 W PTC heating power, the heat pump with 4 700 r/min rotary speed coupling 462.11 W PTC heating power consumes 6.4% less energy to maintain the car temperature at 24 ℃。Compared with single heat pump heating, the heat pump coupling PTC heating strategy with PTC intervention in advance has the advantages of faster heating, lower energy consumption and lower rotary speed. When the ambient temperature is -10 ℃ and the target temperature in the vehicle is 20 ℃,the energy consumption in the regulation process can be reduced by 9.4% at most and by 2.8% after stabilization. When the strategy with PTC intervention in advance is adopted, the compressor speed should be maintained as close to the critical speed in the high efficiency zone as possible. The strategy can significantly improve the heating efficiency and comfort without changing the system structure.

    Abstract353)   HTML29)    PDF(pc) (2063KB)(507)      

    The safety risks the autonomous vehicles face not only come from the deficiencies of functional safety and information safety, but also stem from the insufficiencies of the safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF). As an important part of autonomous driving system, the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system has SOTIF insufficiencies in control strategies. In this paper, the system theoretical process analysis method is adopted to analyze the safety of AEB system, find out the trigger events that may cause harm and put forward the corresponding safety objectives. Aiming at the safety objectives, a control strategy for AEB system based on detailed scenes are proposed. The control strategy proposed for AEB system is then verified in CarSim-MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results show that after functional corrections in both the event acceptance criterion and total risk acceptance criterion, the risk level of the system becomes much lower and the safety level of the system is apparently enhanced.

    Automotive Engineering    2022, 44 (12): 1797-1808.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2022.12.001
    Abstract455)   HTML45)    PDF(pc) (3666KB)(505)      

    In this paper, a human-like behavior decision-making strategy (HBDS) is established by analyzing drivers’ driving behavior generation mechanism. HBDS has a framework that matches the driving behavior generation mechanism, obtains the human-like reward function through maximum entropy inverse reinforcement learning, and adopts the Boltzman noisily-rational model to build the mapping relationship between behavior probability and its cumulative reward. By discretizing the expected trajectory space, the curse of dimensionality in the integration of continuous high-dimensional space is avoided, and based on statistical law and safety constraint, the expected trajectory space is compressed and pruned, enhancing the sampling efficiency of HBDS. The strategy is trained and tested on NGSIM dataset, and the results show that HBDS can make behavior decisions that conform to the driver’s personalized cognitive and behavioral characteristics.

    Xiaohan Jiang,Jianwei Tan,Changjian Xu,Yunshan Ge,Lijun Hao,Xin Wang,Jiachen Li
    Automotive Engineering    2022, 44 (10): 1609-1618.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2022.10.016
    Abstract100)   HTML5)    PDF(pc) (2684KB)(491)      

    Taking a national VI standard gasoline direct injection vehicle (GDIV) equipped with an exhaust particulate filter as the research object, the particle number (PN) emission concentration of different particle size ranges in the exhaust gas is measured by two instruments, namely, condensation particle counters (CPC) and electrostatic low voltatge impactor (ELPI+). The worldwide harmonized light vehicle test cycle (WLTC) cold-start test is carried out on a chassis dynamometer, and the test results show that in the ultra-high-speed section of the WLTC cycle test, the measurement results of ELPI+_29~2 500 nm is 1 order of magnitude higher than that of CPC_23~2 500 nm, with ELPI+_6~29 nm ultrafine particulate matter as the main body of PN emission accounting for up to 97.5%. Under hot start conditions, the high-speed section and ultra-high-speed section of the WLTC cycle show that the poor original exhaust of the engine and the continuous regeneration reaction of the gasoline engine particulate trap lead to large amount of ultra-fine particulate matter emission. To reduce the impact of vehicle particulate matter emissions on the environment and human health, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the particle size distribution of vehicle exhaust particles, and pay more attention to ultra-fine particles below 23 nm.

    In view of the lowering of the trajectory tracking accuracy and the solution efficiency caused by the increase of nonlinear degree and dynamic constraints of unmanned vehicles under complex working conditions, an efficient algorithm based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, in consideration of the nonlinear factors of the vehicle model, the dynamic model and the magic formula tire model are established. A terminal state is integrated to the performance index. The multi-constraint conditions within the stability range are added, and barrier function method is used to solve nonlinear inequality constraints to ensure the smoothness of the solution process. Then in order to reduce the computational burden caused by solving nonlinear optimization problems, an improved continuous/generalized minimum residual (improved-C/GMRES) algorithm is proposed. Compared with the traditional C/GMRES algorithm, the continuously increasing penalty factor is introduced to speed up the numerical calculation efficiency and reduce the computational burden of the algorithm. Finally, based on the joint simulation platform of Simulink and Carsim, the trajectory tracking accuracy and solution efficiency are verified in double-shift line motion and serpentine motion. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional C/GMRES algorithm, the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the tracking accuracy and driving stability of trajectory tracking, and greatly accelerates the solution efficiency.
