    Abstract: A method for data driven downforce control of a vehicle includes receiving a first requested downforce at the front axle of a vehicle and a second requested downforce at the rear axle of the vehicle. The method further includes using a model-based control to determine a first position of the first aerodynamic body relative to the vehicle body and a second position of the second aerodynamic body relative to the vehicle body based on the first requested downforce and the second requested downforce. The model-based control is based on a predetermined aerodynamic map. The method includes commanding the first aerodynamic actuator to move the first aerodynamic body to the first position. The method includes commanding the second aerodynamic actuator to move the second aerodynamic body to the second position.

    Abstract: A fault remediation system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers in electronic communication with one or more consumed interfaces and one or more provided interfaces. The one or more controllers execute instructions to receive, from the one or more consumed interfaces, a consumed signal and perform fault detection upon the consumed signal to determine the presence of an active fault within the consumed signal. In response to detecting an active fault with the consumed signal, the one or more controllers select a remediation state from a group of two or more prospective remediation states based on a significance analysis of the consumed signal. The one or more controllers evaluate a relevant subfunction that corresponds to the consumed signal that the remediation state addresses for the presence of remediation tolerance and generates arbitration instructions based on the remediation tolerance.

    Abstract: A method for downforce control includes receiving vehicle inputs. The method includes determining a first normal-force request at the front axle and a second normal-force request at the rear axle using the purality of vehicle inputs and a prediction model. The prediction model is a combined state space model that integrates a half-car state space model and an actuator state space model, the half-car state space model is developed using a half-car model, and the actuator state space model is developed using a neural network model. The method further includes determining a first position of the first aerodynamic body relative to the vehicle body and a second position of the second aerodynamic body relative to the vehicle body based on the first normal-force request and the second normal-force request, respectively.

    Abstract: A method for downforce control includes receiving a plurality of vehicle inputs from a vehicle. The plurality of vehicle inputs includes sensor data from a plurality of sensors of the vehicle. The method further includes determining a downforce acting on the vehicle, by: (a) determining a predicted half-car model uncertainties using a neural network; and (b) determining a front normal force at the front axle and a rear normal force at the rear axle using the vehicle inputs, the predicted half-car model uncertainties, and a half-car model. The method further includes determining a first position of the first aerodynamic body relative to the vehicle body and a second position of the second aerodynamic body relative to the vehicle body based on the front normal force at the front axle and a rear normal force at the rear axle, respectively.
