    摘要: A control system and method for use in vehicles, such as automotive vehicles. The control system and method is particularly adapted for use in vehicles having by-wire control systems. The control system uses three system controllers. Each of the controllers is adapted to receive redundant control inputs from at least one input device, such as a steering actuator, an accelerator actuator and a brake actuator. Each controller is adapted to receive a different unprocessed actuator sensor signal and a processed actuator sensor signal which are associated with the input device. Each controller may also be adapted to receive a sensor status signal which is also associated with the input device. In accordance with the method of the invention, these signals may be used to determine a sensor signal which may be used as the basis for control of control systems or components in response to the input device. Depending on the status of these signals, the sensor signal used for control may comprise the processed sensor signal or a resolved sensor signal. The sensor signal used for control may be determined by implementing a voting process in conjunction with the controllers which utilizes both the unprocessed sensor signals and the processed sensor signals.

An average power output of a battery is determined for the starting system during a start engine cranking interval. A temperature of the starting system is determined at an initiation of the start engine cranking interval. A predetermined average power output capability for a battery having a full state of charge at the determined temperature is looked up. A predetermined minimum average power output required of the battery for starting the respective engine at the determined temperature is looked up. A state of function based on the determined average power outputs is determined. The cranking capability of the starting system is identified in response to the determined state of function.

    摘要: A method for monitoring the sensors in a vehicle control system. The method includes identifying a plurality of potential faults, identifying a plurality of measured values, and identifying a plurality of estimated values based on models in the control system. The method further includes identifying a plurality of residual error values as the difference between the estimated values and the measured values. The method also defines a plurality of fuzzy logic membership functions for each residual error value. The fuzzy logic membership functions are adaptive in that they change depending on the vehicle operating region, i.e., the non-linearity level of the vehicle, and the vehicle operating conditions, i.e., steady state verses transients. A degree of membership value is determined for each residual error value based on the membership functions. The degree of membership values are then analyzed in a fuzzy logic reasoning system to determine whether a potential fault exists.

    摘要: A method and system providing coordinated torque control and speed control of a vehicle equipped with individual wheel motors, a steering system, and yaw-rate detection to achieve a desired yaw moment for the vehicle, based upon operator input and vehicle operation, is described. This includes determining a commanded steering angle, and a yaw-rate error, based upon the commanded steering angle and detected yaw-rate. A desired wheel motor yaw torque moment is calculated. First and second torque moments are calculated for inner and outer motored wheels, based upon the desired wheel motor yaw torque moment. First and second ideal wheel speeds are calculated for the inner and outer motored wheels, based upon the commanded steering angle. Torque and speed at each inner motored wheel and each outer motored wheel are calculated, based upon the yaw-rate error, the first and second torque moments, and the first and second ideal wheel speeds.

    摘要: A system and related method for monitoring the state of health of sensors in an integrated vehicle stability control system. In one embodiment, the system determines whether a yaw rate sensor, a lateral acceleration sensor or a hand-wheel angle sensor has failed. The system uses a plurality of models to generate estimates of the outputs of the sensors based on the actual sensor measurements. Residuals are generated as the difference between the measured value and each of the estimates for the particular sensor. The residuals are compared to a threshold to determine whether a fault flag will be set for each residual. The threshold for the hand-wheel angle sensor is an adaptive threshold because it does not have physical redundancy. If the fault flags for the residuals for each sensor have a particular pattern, then a fault is output for that sensor.
