  • Patent number: 12111227
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle data communication and interaction system and a construction method thereof. The system includes a first test vehicle placed in an environment perception test platform and a second test vehicle placed in a rotating hub test platform, an intelligent-electronic control unit (i-ECU), a vehicle control unit (VCU), and a vehicle bottom electronic control unit that are communicatively connected with each other are mounted on each of the first test vehicle and the second test vehicle, and a sensor is further mounted on the first test vehicle. The first test vehicle is communicatively connected to the second test vehicle, and specifically, the VCU or a network gateway is connected via the sensor, to implement a communication connection between the two test vehicles.

  • Patent number: 12054155
    Abstract: A method for adaptive estimation of a road surface adhesion coefficient for a vehicle with complex excitation conditions taken into consideration comprises the following steps: 1) designing an estimator according to a single-wheel dynamics model of a vehicle, and estimating a longitudinal tire force and a road surface peak adhesion coefficient under longitudinal excitation; 2) designing an estimator according to a two-degree-of-freedom kinematic model of the vehicle, and estimating a tire aligning moment and a road surface peak adhesion coefficient under excitation of a lateral force; and 3) determining an excitation condition met by the vehicle according to a vehicle state parameter, performing fuzzy inference to obtain limits achievable by current longitudinal and lateral tire forces, and designing a fusion observer to fuse estimation results. The method achieves favorable robustness, improves real-time capability, and can be performed quickly and accurately.

The first test vehicle is communicatively connected to the second test vehicle, and specifically, the VCU or a network gateway is connected via the sensor, to implement a communication connection between the two test vehicles. Accordingly, the complexity of the connection with the VCU can be simplified, and real-time efficiency data interaction between two test vehicles may be implemented, so that the test vehicle has complete full vehicle performance and a real-time operation response.
