    摘要: A method for determining a state of health (SOH) value for an electric power steering (EPS) system in a vehicle includes estimating a first Self-Aligning Torque (SAT) value using a tire dynamics model, which includes modeled dynamics in the linear region of a lateral force acting on the vehicle tires. The method also includes estimating a second SAT value using an extended state observer and nominal parameters for the EPS system, and calculating a variance between the first and second SAT values. The controller monitors a progression of the calculated variance over a calibrated interval using the controller to thereby determine the SOH value, and automatically executes a control action using the SOH value. An EPS system for a vehicle includes a steering wheel, torque and angle sensors, a rack and pinion assembly, a steering motor, and the controller. A vehicle is also disclosed having the same controller.

    摘要: A method for allocating forces among the corners of a vehicle having a redundant actuator suite includes determining a set of desired forces at the center of gravity of the vehicle, and allocating the set of desired forces among the corners of the vehicle as virtual control commands using a controller. The method also includes mapping the virtual control commands at the corners to actual or true control commands at the corners, and controlling a plurality of actuators at the corners using the actual or true control commands. The actuators may include friction brakes and wheel motors. Mapping the virtual control commands may include using a Least Squares formulation. Control of the actuators may be prioritized with respect to each other using weighting matrices. A vehicle includes a controller having actuators and a controller configured for executing the above method.

    摘要: A method of estimating a tire-road friction coefficient includes determining when the slope of a tire characteristic curve relating a utilized longitudinal friction of a tire to longitudinal slip of the tire is linear and non-linear. When the slope of the tire characteristic curve is linear, then the tire-road friction coefficient is estimated by correlating the slope of the tire characteristic curve to the tire-road friction coefficient. When the slope of the tire characteristic curve is non-linear, indicating that the tire is near or at saturation, then the tire-road friction coefficient is estimated by calculating a current utilized longitudinal friction of the tire.

    摘要: An apparatus provides improved vehicle handling during turning maneuvers by providing control of vehicle understeer. The understeer control includes determining a desired turning radius for the vehicle, a corresponding ideal outer to inner wheel speed ratio. A closed loop torque command is determined in proportion to the difference between the ideal wheel speed ratio and the actual wheel speed ratio. The closed loop torque command is used in conjunction with an open loop torque command responsive to operator power demand to provide wheel speed control in a manner to maintain the desired vehicle understeer characteristics.
