    Effect of EGR Exhaust Gas Composition and Temperature onMechanical Characteristics of Diesel Engine Particles
    Zhao Yang, Li Mingdi, Wang Zhihao, Xu Guangju, Yuan Yinnan, Wu Bin
    Automotive Engineering    2019, 41 (6): 634-640.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2019.06.004
    Abstract289)      PDF(pc) (2990KB)(576)      
    Focusing on micro-mechanical properties of diesel engine particles, the variation of particle size, number and mass concentration were studied by using particle size analyzer and atomic force microscope for different EGR exhaust gas composition and temperature. The effect of EGR exhaust gas composition and temperature on the micro-mechanical properties such as particle elastic modulus, agglomeration forces and main action forms were analyzed. The results show that the total number concentration of nucleation mode particles has little change with the exhaust gas temperature increasing, however the total number concentration of accumulation mode particles increases significantly, and the particle elastic modulus, structure rigidity and agglomeration forces all increase significantly, while the force action type changes from liquid bridge force to Van Der Waals force. Compared with the introduction of exhaust gas, when N2 and CO2 are introduced respectively, the agglomeration force between particles is mainly in the form of Van Der Waals force and liquid bridge force. The N2 in exhaust gas is the main gas composition that leads to the increase of particle size, number concentration and mass concentration, structural rigidity and agglomeration force of accumulation mode particles with EGR introduced while the CO2 can significantly reduce the number and mass concentration of accumulated particles and reduce the structural rigidity and agglomeration force.

    Automotive Engineering    2024, 46 (4): 557-563.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2024.04.001
    Abstract155)   HTML13)    PDF(pc) (4680KB)(107)      

    Onboard camera images are the main data sources for constructing the intelligent vehicle test scenario library, but the probability of critical test scenarios occurring in the actual collected onboard camera images is very low, and most of the scenarios have little test value. If it is directly applied to the intelligent vehicle test, it will waste a lot of test resources. In this paper, a criticality assessment model for the intelligent vehicle test scenario based on the onboard camera images is proposed. Firstly, the images collected from real vehicles are processed based on the camera parameters to output parameters that have impact on driving safety. Then, the parameters are integrated using the risk field theory to output the criticality assessment results of the intelligent vehicle test scenario. Finally, the criticality assessment validation is conducted on the images collected from the actual vehicle. The results show that the proposed model can accurately output the specific values of the criticality of the test scenarios in order to compare the test values of different scenarios, proving that the model proposed in this paper can effectively screen the intelligent vehicle critical test scenarios.

    Automotive Engineering    2021, 43 (4): 562-570.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2021.04.014
    Abstract520)   HTML20)    PDF(pc) (2331KB)(728)      

    The motion characteristics of the autonomous vehicle should be taken into account to ensure safety, comfort and stability when avoiding obstacles. An obstacle avoidance trajectory planning algorithm with the constraints of vehicle motion is proposed in this paper. Firstly, combining with the motion state and position information of obstacles, the algorithm derives the derivative status region where the vehicle can safely avoid obstacles from the local environment map. Then, the terminal state points are sampled in the derivative status region to form a discrete terminal state point set. The obstacle avoidance trajectory search problem in complex road environment is transformed into the problem of trajectory fitting and optimization between the vehicle and the state point set. Trajectory fitting is realized by Bézier curve planner based on vehicle lateral dynamics model while the optimization process takes into consideration of driving smoothness and operation stability in the process of vehicle trajectory following. By comparing the obstacle avoidance effect in multiple scenarios with the conventional State Lattice algorithm and MPC algorithm, the results show that the proposed algorithm can make the vehicle avoid obstacles safely and reasonably in the test scenarios, and has better performance in the aspects of trajectory smoothness and vehicle handling stability.

    Collaborative lane change technology for intelligent connected vehicles has been widely studied, but existing strategies can hardly solve the problem of vehicle collaboration in mandatory lane change scenarios or may cause notable impact on upstream traffic. For mandatory lane change scenarios demand, a two-stage cooperative lane change strategy considering theoretical minimal safety space is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the control architecture for a two-vehicle cooperative lane change system is proposed and a collaborative lane change scheme is developed for mandatory lane change scenarios. Then, a two-stage receding-horizon trajectory planning strategy of spacing adjustment and collaborative lane change is designed, where the theoretical minimum safe distance is embedded as a constraint of spacing adjustment stage, to solve the problem of conservative spacing strategies in existing research. Finally, numerical simulation and hardware in-loop experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness, advantages and computational real-time performance of the proposed strategy. The results show that the proposed strategy can effectively improve the success rate of lane change, reduce the negative traffic impact while ensuring lane change safety, and is also applicable in real time computing and communication environment of actual edge cloud platform.

    Abstract165)   HTML17)    PDF(pc) (2036KB)(244)      

    In the context of real-world driving environments, due to the perturbation of perception data and the unpredictable behavior of other traffic participants, rational decision-making in highly interactive and intricate driving scenarios considering the impact of uncertainty factors is one of the main concerns that decision-making and planning systems for autonomous vehicles must address. A behavioral decision-making method for autonomous vehicles navigating in uncertain environments is proposed in this paper. To mitigate the impact of uncertainty, the behavioral decision-making process is transformed into a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP). Furthermore, to tackle the computational complexity of the POMDP model, the complex network theory is applied for the first time for dynamically modeling the microscopic driving environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle, which allows for the effective characterization of interaction relationship between vehicle nodes and the scientific selection of significant vehicle nodes, guiding the autonomous vehicle's decision-making process, enabling precise identification of critical vehicle nodes, and pruning the decision space. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in a simulation environment, and the experimental results show that the proposed method has higher computational efficiency, superior performance, and enhanced flexibility in comparison to existing state-of-the-art behavioral decision-making methods.

    In the process of electrification and intellectualization of the automobile industry, the automotive safety testing and evaluation technology has also been extended and expanded from simple passive safety to active and passive safety integration. In this paper, the differences between the world's mainstream automotive safety assessment procedures are compared and analyzed from three aspects: occupant protection in the vehicle, vulnerable road user protection outside the vehicle, and active safety. The key technical points of vehicle safety development for each evaluation condition are summarized and the development trend of safety evaluation procedures for new energy and intelligent networked vehicles is discussed. The research concludes that the mainstream automotive safety evaluation procedures are becoming more and more stringent in passive safety evaluation, with the proportion of active safety evaluation conditions gradually increasing, and the development focus of the future evaluation procedures will focus on the integration of active and passive safety and virtual evaluation for complex working conditions. In addition, the battery safety test for new energy vehicles has been relatively perfect, and the future research focus can be expanded to the direction of electronic control system testing, chassis stability testing, and unified standardization certification of charging and swapping facilities and supporting equipment.

    The issue of safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) restricts the application of autonomous vehicles. The various extreme driving environments faced by the perception system of autonomous vehicles are highly susceptible to SOTIF problems. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and evaluate a large number of triggering conditions in the safety analysis phase according to the existing SOTIF standards to select high-value trigger conditions so as to provide test scenarios for subsequent test and validation. Firstly, a set of three-dimensional evaluation system for triggering conditions of the perception system including exposure rate, penetration rate and hazard rate is proposed, based on the analysis of the risk evolution process of triggering conditions in autonomous driving system. Subsequently, based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a quantitative evaluation method for the penetration of triggering conditions is constructed. Finally, 15 triggering conditions for a mass-produced vehicle fusion perception system are selected and analyzed. Test cases are built and the closed site tests are conducted to evaluate the penetration rate of the above triggering conditions. Finally, through the calculation, 3 high-risk triggering conditions are screened, which verifies the feasibility of the quantitative evaluation method of trigger condition penetration rate.
