Description

Technical Field



[0001] The invention relates to vehicle control technologies, and specifically to a slope brake pressure determining method and determining system for braking on a slope.

Background Art



[0002] In vehicle control for driver assistance, vehicle motion control needs to cover a variety of road conditions, among which slopes are the most common road conditions. The inaccurate calculation of brake pressure on a slope and brake pressure retained during parking leads to excessive braking or slipping on the slope due to insufficient braking force.

[0003] At present, the commonly used algorithm is comparing a measured value of vehicle body acceleration with a calculated value of wheel speed acceleration to determine a slope, thereby calculating brake pressure. However, a problem with this method is that a vehicle body acceleration sensor fluctuates greatly when a vehicle is moving and during the starting and parking process of the vehicle, and the calculation of the wheel speed acceleration is inaccurate at low speed, which leads to unreasonable determination of the brake pressure.

Furthermore, although the features of the invention are disclosed in combination with only one of several implementations/embodiments, if any given or recognizable function may be desired and/or advantageous, this feature can be combined with one or more other features of other implementations/embodiments. Therefore, the following description should not be considered in a limiting sense, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0028] Before the description of a slope brake pressure determining method and a slope brake pressure determining system of the invention, the concept of the invention is described first.

[0029] The main inventive concept of the invention lies in that, a pre-braking slope estimated value and an in-braking slope estimated value are determined for a pre-braking case and an in-braking case, respectively; then, pre-braking pressure p1 and in-braking pressure p2 are determined based on the pre-braking slope estimated value and the in-braking slope estimated value; and finally, final brake pressure p4 is obtained by calculation based on the pre-braking pressure p1 and the in-braking pressure p2. In this way, it can be ensured that the brake pressure can be accurately determined under different working conditions.

[0030] FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a slope brake pressure determining method according to an aspect of the invention.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the slope brake pressure determining method of an aspect of the invention includes the following steps: a pre-braking slope determining step S100, an in-braking slope determining step S200, and a brake pressure determining step S300. These steps are specifically as follows:
In the pre-braking slope determining step S100, a pre-braking slope estimated value is determined according to a specified cycle, where vehicle acceleration awheel is determined based on a current vehicle speed, a slope measured value ameasure is obtained based on a measured value of the vehicle acceleration, and a current pre-braking slope estimated value is determined based on the vehicle acceleration awheel and the slope measured value ameasure and is used as a first slope estimated value aestimate1, and where a pre-braking slope estimated value of a previous cycle that is latched prior to the establishment of brake pressure is used as a second slope estimated value aestimate2. In the pre-braking slope determining step S100, the first slope estimated value aestimate1 is determined according to the following formula (1):



[0032] The slope estimated value is determined according to the specified cycle, and the second slope estimated value aestimate2 of the previous cycle is latched prior to the establishment of the brake pressure. In addition, the second slope estimated value aestimate2 is determined by using the same method as the first slope estimated value aestimate1.

[0033] In the pre-braking slope determining step S100, the current vehicle speed is obtained from a wheel speed sensor, and the measured value of the vehicle acceleration is obtained from a vehicle body acceleration sensor and undergoes second-order filtering to obtain the slope measured value ameasure. The second-order filtering is performed here because the acceleration sensor fluctuates greatly, and its transfer function is similar to the second-order filtering. Therefore, a more accurate value can be obtained through the second-order filtering.

[0034] In the pre-braking slope determining step S100, on the premise of identifying a braking condition, the second slope estimated value aestimate2 of the previous cycle is latched prior to the establishment of the brake pressure, where identifying the braking condition includes: identifying according to stop and deceleration commands from a vehicle brake switch or a vehicle main controller. Herein, since different physical quantities and different operating conditions are used for slope estimation, the reliability of the slope estimated value is improved.

[0035] In the in-braking slope determining step S200, an instantaneous vehicle speed vbrake prior to the establishment of the brake pressure is latched, and a vehicle traveling distance lbrake, and time tbrake are accumulated, where the instantaneous vehicle speed vbrake is an instantaneous vehicle speed when the brake is applied, and is obtained by a wheel speed sensor, the vehicle traveling distance lbrake, is obtained by integration on the wheel speed sensor, and the time tbrake is obtained by timing, for example, timing by a controller; and an in-braking slope estimated value aslop is determined according to the following formula (2):

where abrake is acceleration formed by a braking force, and the acceleration abrake formed by the braking force is calculated based on brake pressure, braking efficiency, a vehicle radius, and a vehicle weight.

[0036] In the brake pressure determining step S300, pre-braking pressure p1 and in-braking pressure p2 are obtained by calculation based on the second slope estimated value aestimate2, a third slope estimated value aestimate3, the vehicle weight, and a braking efficiency coefficient, where the third slope estimated value aestimate3 is a slope estimated value determined using an observer.

[0037] The observer is an algorithm in the control theory, that is, to calculate a measurable value according to a theoretical formula, modify a coefficient to approximate the theoretical calculated value to an actually measured value, and indirectly estimate an unmeasurable value in the theoretical formula. Here, a Luenberger observer can be used as the observer.

[0038] Initial brake pressure p3 is calculated according to the following formula (4):



[0039] Final brake pressure p4 is calculated according to the following formula (5):

where Σpdetal is a specified variable.

[0040] In the in-braking slope determining step S200, the vehicle speed vbrake prior to the establishment of the brake pressure is obtained from the wheel speed sensor, and the acceleration abrake formed by the braking force is calculated according to the following formula (6):



[0041] In the brake pressure determining step S300, the pre-braking pressure p1 is obtained by calculation based on the second slope estimated value aestimate2, the vehicle weight, and a braking efficiency coefficient according to the following formula (7):

and the pre-braking pressure p2 is obtained based on the third slope estimated value aestimate3, the vehicle weight, and the braking efficiency coefficient according to the following formula (8):
