According to the characteristics of vehicle-road dynamic model, a simple math resolution method of the model's factors is established. Only using the information of wheel speed, the vehicle reference velocity and the wheel slip ratio are estimated real-timely. And based on the wheel dynamic model, the road characteristic parameter is determined to identify the road surface for the determination of thresholds of ABS regulative parameters. With this new method, the road surface identification can be accurately obtained and calculation time is short that it can meet the ABS real time control need, and it also improves the performance of ABS.展开更多

Based on the analysis of energy conversion and parameters variation during the vehicle drive slip process, the change of adhesion coefficient relative to the an- gular acceleration were theoretically studied experimentally validated. The variation shows that the change of adhesion coefficient relative to the angular acceleration and the change of slip ratio in the drive slip process have same trend-both of them exist an only optimal angular acceleration corre- sponding to the peak value of adhesion coefficient. The peak adhesion coefficient of the prototype vehicle is about 0. 14 on the ice-covered road surfaces, with the corresponding optimal angular accel- eration of about 23.5 rad/s2 and optimal slip ratio of about 9. 4%.展开更多
