Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the priority benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0163960, filed Dec. 10, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.


BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Disclosure

The present disclosure relates to a system for evaluating vehicle performance, and more particularly, to a system for evaluating vehicle performance for analyzing a behavior of a vehicle based on a reaction of each system by coupling a vehicle system model and a vehicle dynamic model.


2. Description of the Related Art

In the vehicle development stage, a document template for recording the specification and performance relevant measurement value of a system has been used for each system to examine the performance of a vehicle that is currently developed. Only a measurement value related to performance is stated in the document template, and thus, it is not possible to evaluate developing vehicle performance for each vehicle system and behavior characteristics of a vehicle based on the performance.


For example, only brake torque is derived using a calculation dependent upon an application for providing a document template when brake performance of a vehicle is evaluated. However, to evaluate brake performance of an actual vehicle, various factors such as a time point of generating torque or energy consumption need to be examined and to then predict an active behavior of a vehicle. In other words, conventionally, when brake performance is evaluated, only brake torque is recognized as a brake performance evaluation factor using a document template, and thus, it is possible to predict deceleration of a vehicle, but it is not possible to determine a behavior that occurs while the vehicle actually brakes, for example, a left/right pull in an actual vehicle.


Accordingly, conventionally, a vehicle including a designed brake is actually manufactured, and then, vehicle performance is evaluated by recognizing a behavior of the vehicle using a trial-error method through direct test driving. Such a conventional method of evaluating vehicle performance requires manufacture of an actual vehicle and incurs the excessive time and cost due to much labor mobilization. In particular, recently, as the number of various controllers used in a vehicle has increased, more time and cost are wasted when a test through an actual vehicle is performed for each controller.


The contents described as the related art have been provided only to assist in understanding the background of the present disclosure and should not be considered as corresponding to the related art known to those having ordinary skill in the art.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a function system model of a system for evaluating vehicle performance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and in more detail, illustrates an example of a brake system model of a vehicle.


Referring to FIG. 2, a brake system model 40 as an example of the function system model 40 may include various sub models 41 to 45 configured to operate brake control based on a signal input from a controller (e.g., an anti-lock braking system (ABS) controller) for decelerating the vehicle.

The dynamic model 50 may perform animation to visually describe a driving figure of an actual vehicle.

Referring to FIG. 3, the dynamic model 50 may include a dynamic load movement model 51 configured to model the dynamic load movement characteristics of a vehicle, determined based on information such as the weight, center distance, axle weight, and the center of weight of the vehicle and operation relevant information of a vehicle system, input from the function system model 40, a tire slip model 52 configured to model the slip characteristics of a vehicle tire based on the dynamic load movement characteristics of the vehicle, and a suspension model 53 configured to model characteristics of a spring or damper based on the dynamic load movement characteristics of the vehicle and the hard point characteristics (bump-toe) of a suspension.

The controller model 30 may be configured according to control logic provided from a manufacturer of the controller. When the manufacturer of the controller does not disclose the control logic, the controller model 30 may also be manufactured through machine learning using a neural network circuit based on an input and output of the controller.



FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a controller model of a system for evaluating vehicle performance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and particularly, illustrates an example of an ABS controller model.


As shown in FIG. 4, as an example of the controller model of the system for evaluating vehicle performance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the ABS controller model 30 may receive various wheel speed information from wheel speed sensors mounted within wheels of the vehicle, respectively, and may be modeled to output a control signal for determining a brake pressure of a brake mounted within each wheel of the vehicle based on the received wheel speed information.


Additionally, ABS manufacturers do not disclose detailed ABS control logic as their know-how, and thus, the ABS controller model 30 may be embodied as a neural network circuit modeled to output a similar control signal to an actual ABS controller using machined learning. The sensor model 20 may be configured to model various sensors mounted within a vehicle for detecting information on a driving environment and driving state of the vehicle and may also provide information required according to an input from the controller model 30.

As shown in FIG. 5, the sensor model 20 may include a recognition sensor model 21 for outputting information to be acquired by detecting a driving environment of a vehicle, and a vehicle behavior sensor model 22 for detecting and outputting information related to a behavior of a vehicle.


The recognition sensor model 21 may be a model like a camera (e.g., imaging device), a lidar, a radar, an infrared sensor, or the like, and may output a road curvature, a distance from a leading vehicle, a relative speed, or the like. The vehicle behavior sensor model 22 may output a detection value of information related to a vehicle behavior like a yaw sensor, an acceleration sensor, a lateral speed sensor, or a lateral acceleration sensor.


The sensor model 20 may be modeled to detect information required for vehicle control based on a driving environment scenario provided by the driving environment model 10 and may also be modeled to detect information required for vehicle control based on a modeling result related to a vehicle behavior output from the aforementioned dynamic model 50. The driving environment model 10 may be a model for storing a scenario of various driving environments of a vehicle for examining vehicle performance.



FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a driving environment model of a system for evaluating vehicle performance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 6, a vehicle driving environment scenario modeled in the driving environment model 10 may broadly include a road situation scenario 11, a driving situation scenario 12, and a weather and climate scenario 13.


The road situation scenario 11 may store a scenario of a type of a road on which a vehicle is being driven, and may store a scenario of a type of road or gradient/slope of the road or a turning state (e.g., a curve along the road), such as an intersection, a slope, a crosswalk, or a turning period. The driving situation scenario 12 may store a scenario of a driving situation of the vehicle and may store a scenario of information on other vehicles positioned before, behind, right, and left the driving vehicle, information on a bypass, information on construction, or the like. The weather and climate scenario 13 may store the weather or climate or a day and night state when a vehicle is being driven and may store a scenario of night driving, driving on a snowy or wet road, or the like.


An operation mechanism of the system for evaluating vehicle performance according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure as configured above will be described below.


First, the driving environment model 10 may select a scenario model for evaluating vehicle performance. In particular, the driving environment model 10 may configure a scenario model appropriate for an evaluation purpose such as the number of lanes of a road, the number of vehicles that are being driven on the road, a freezing state of the road, a type of the road (e.g., an asphalt road, an unpaved road, or the like), whether a vehicle rapidly cuts or drives in front of another vehicle, or a road curvature.


Further, the sensor model 20 may provide information to be detected by a sensor of an actual vehicle as a signal to be provided to the controller model 30 using information determined by the driving environment model 10. The sensor model 20 may output vehicle external information by the recognition sensor model 21 and may output driving vehicle information by the vehicle behavior sensor model 22. For example, the vehicle external information may include lane information (e.g., whether a lane is a solid line or a dotted line, or a lane interval) or curvature information, as captured by a sensor such as a camera, and a relative speed or a vehicle distance detected by a sensor such as a lidar. The vehicle behavior sensor model 22 may correspond to a yaw rate detected by a yaw sensor, a wheel speed of each wheel detected by a wheel speed sensor, and a steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor.


The sensor model 20 may receive vehicle behavior information output from the dynamic model 50 and may output a detection value of vehicle behavior information, to be detected therefrom. For example, the sensor model 20 may output a brake pedal signal detected by the brake pedal sensor model in the sensor model 20 and a detection value of a wheel speed of each wheel detected by the wheel speed sensor model at a time point at which the brake pedal signal is generated (e.g., the brake pedal is engaged).


Additionally, the controller model 30 may receive a signal that corresponds to a detection value output from the sensor model 20 and may generate and output a control signal output by a controller configured to operate various systems within a vehicle using the detection values. The controller model 30 may be configured by embodying substantially the same control logic as a controller applied to an actual vehicle or may be configured to output a similar control signal to a controller of an actual vehicle using a neural network circuit trained by machine learning, and may generate a control signal for operating each system of a vehicle using a signal provided from the sensor model 20 as a parameter. For example, the ABS controller model in the controller model 30 may receive a detection value of a wheel speed of each wheel from the sensor model 20 and may output a brake pressure control signal of each wheel that corresponds to the detection value.


The function system model 40 may then receive a control signal output from the controller model 30 and may provide an output for an operation of various systems of the vehicle, determined according to the control signal. For example, when receiving a brake pressure control signal of each wheel from the controller model 30, a brake system model in the function system model 40 may output a result value of each operation from the engine system model 41 for performing an engine throttle relevant operation based on a brake pressure of each wheel, the air management system model 42 for performing an auxiliary brake and air tank relevant operation based on a brake pressure of each wheel, the brake valve model 43 for adjusting a brake pressure based on a brake pressure of each wheel, and the front-wheel foundation model 44 and the rear-wheel foundation model 45, which are related to an operation of front-wheel foundation and rear-wheel foundation based on a brake pressure of each wheel.


Further, the dynamic model 50 may receive an output of the function system model 40 and may determine vehicle behavior characteristics based thereon. The dynamic model 50 may be a dynamic model for describing a behavior of an actual vehicle, may be configured based on a chassis characteristics model such as suspension hard point characteristics, spring/damper characteristics, or wheel alignment characteristic, and may output movement of the center of a weight of a vehicle and a behavior to front-rear-left-right sides of the vehicle.


The dynamic model 50 may visually animate and represent the determined vehicle behavior, and information regarding the vehicle behavior may be transmitted back to the sensor model 20 to enable the sensor model 20 to output a detection value obtained by detecting the vehicle behavior characteristics.
