Abstract
Abstract. The measurement of the road adhesion coefficient is of great
significance for the vehicle active safety control system and is one of the key
technologies for future autonomous driving. With a focus on the problems of
interference uncertainty and system nonlinearity in the estimation of the road
adhesion coefficient, this work adopts a vehicle
model with 7 degrees of freedom (7-DOF) and the Dugoff tire model and uses these models to estimate the road adhesion
coefficient in real time based on the particle filter (PF) algorithm. The
estimations using the PF algorithm are verified by selecting typical
working conditions, and they are compared with estimations using the unscented
Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm. Simulation results show that the road adhesion
coefficient estimator error based on the UKF algorithm is less than 7 %, whereas the road adhesion coefficient estimator error based on the PF algorithm is
less than 0.1 %. Thus, compared with the UKF algorithm, the
PF algorithm has a higher accuracy and control effect with respect to
estimating the road adhesion coefficient under different road conditions. In order to
verify the robustness of the road adhesion coefficient estimator, an
automobile test platform based on a four-wheel-hub-motor car is built.
According to the experimental results, the estimator based on the PF algorithm
can realize the road surface identification with an error of less than 1 %,
which verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm with respect to
estimating the road adhesion coefficient and shows good robustness.
期刊介绍:
The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) is an international forum for the dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. Its main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open-access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming for fast publication and great citation opportunities. A large board of reputable editors makes this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, review articles and short communications will also be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.
