    摘要: Techniques are provided for vehicle oscillation control. In one embodiment, the techniques involve identifying an oscillation at a steering wheel or steering column of a vehicle, upon determining that the oscillation exceeds an oscillation of interest threshold, identifying the oscillation as an oscillation of interest, classifying a cause of the oscillation of interest, and mitigating the oscillation of interest based on the classification of the cause.

    摘要: A method of identifying a fault in a friction brake actuated by hydraulic brake pressure and configured to decelerate a vehicle road wheel includes detecting, via a first sensor, a vibration at the road wheel and communicating data indicative of the detected vibration to a controller. The method additionally includes detecting, via a second sensor, upon application of the hydraulic brake pressure, a hydraulic brake pressure variation and communicating data indicative of the detected hydraulic brake pressure variation. The method additionally includes comparing, via the controller, the data indicative of the detected vibration with a threshold vibration value and the data indicative of the detected hydraulic brake pressure variation with a threshold hydraulic brake pressure value. Furthermore, the method includes generating a sensory signal indicative of the brake fault when magnitudes of the detected vibration and the detected hydraulic brake pressure variation are greater than their respective threshold values.

    摘要: System and method for controlling operation of a vehicle in real-time with a supervisory control module. A fault detection module is configured to receive respective sensor data from one or more sensors in communication with the vehicle and generate fault data. The supervisory control module includes at least one fault-tolerant controller configured to respond to a plurality of faults. The supervisory control module is configured to receive the fault data. When at least one fault is detected from the plurality of faults, the supervisory control module is configured to employ the fault-tolerant controller to generate at least one selected command. The selected command is transmitted to one or more device controllers for delivery to at least one of the respective components of the vehicle. Operation of the vehicle is controlled based in part on the selected command.

    摘要: A method of operating an electric power steering system installed on a vehicle. The electric power steering system includes a controller that receives a desired assist torque value and supplies a pulse-width modulation duty cycle to an electric motor. The method includes the step of controlling the electric motor to achieve a nominal value of power steering assist torque when the electrical power available to the motor is sufficient to achieve the nominal value of power steering assist torque. The method further includes the step of controlling the electric motor to achieve a reduced value of power steering assist torque less than the nominal value when the electrical power available to the motor is not sufficient to achieve the nominal value of power steering assist torque.

    摘要: A method of on-line diagnostic and prognostic assessment of an autonomous vehicle perception system includes detecting, via a sensor, a physical parameter of an object external to the vehicle. The method also includes communicating data representing the physical parameter via the sensor to an electronic controller. The method additionally includes comparing the data from the sensor to data representing the physical parameter generated by a geo-source model. The method also includes comparing results generated by a perception software during analysis of the data from the sensor to labels representing the physical parameter from the geo-source model. Furthermore, the method includes generating a prognostic assessment of a ground truth for the physical parameter of the object using the comparisons of the sensor data to the geo-source model data and of the software results to the geo-source model labels. A system for on-line assessment of the vehicle perception system is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of controlling a vehicle having an electric power steering system includes generating a plurality of possible routes. Each of the plurality of possible routes that require a steering torque that is within an available torque range is identified as a system compliant route. Each of the plurality of possible routes that require an angular position of an electric motor of the electric power steering system at all time indices throughout that route that are within an available motor position range are also identified as a system compliant route. One of the identified system compliant routes is selected based on at least one selection criteria, and designated as an active route. The electric power steering system is then controlled to maneuver the vehicle along the active route. The electric power steering system is monitored as the vehicle moves along the active route to identify degradation of its capabilities.
