Abstract:

Aiming at the problems that the existing ramp recognition algorithms have poor adaptability to the conditions and are unable to satisfy the application requirements of mass production vehicles, an electric vehicle slope recognition method based on vehicle mass estimation was proposed. Firstly, the vehicle longitudinal dynamics model was established, and the signal characteristics of the acceleration sensor under the actual vehicle conditions were analyzed. The least square vehicle mass estimation strategy with forgetting factor was constructed to obtain the vehicle mass directly under the starting condition. Ramp recognition algorithms were designed for static parking and dynamic driving scenarios. In the static scenario, the filter latch strategy was used to deal with the interference factors such as activities in the vehicle. In the dynamic scenario, the Kalman filter algorithm based on measurement noise adaptation was designed to realize the fusion estimation of dynamic observation and kinematic observation for the slope. The effectiveness of the method was verified by Simulink-CarSim joint simulation. Finally, the real vehicle test was completed on Chery new energy's mass production electric vehicle platform and domain controller. The road test results show that the mass estimation error is less than ±10 kg; the static estimation error of the slope is less than 0.001 rad, and the dynamic error is within 0.005 rad. The estimation accuracy and stability are greatly improved, which ensures the environmental adaptability of the intelligent electric vehicles.
