8、,該系統(tǒng)是穩(wěn)定性系統(tǒng)的先決條件。</p><p>  并不是只有博世公司一家在開發(fā)這樣的安全系統(tǒng),美國密歇根州的ITT(美國國際電信公司)汽車公司的奧伯恩·希爾,在1995年1月底特律北美國際汽車展覽會上展示了了管理系統(tǒng)(ASMS),“車輛控制器應(yīng)該像空對地導(dǎo)彈的控制器那樣,比較而言,事實上那已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了,不同的是兩者的費用不同”,美國國際電信公司駐歐洲空對地導(dǎo)彈控制工程負責(zé)人約翰尼斯·格雷得說

9、。北美ITT公司“汽車制動和底盤工程”主管湯姆·麥茲指出,在未來十年美國國際電信公司的系統(tǒng)要首先出現(xiàn)在車輛上。很多工程師正在六輛特殊制造的精密車輛模型上調(diào)試這種系統(tǒng)。</p><p>  一個比較簡單和較低效率的博世的穩(wěn)定調(diào)節(jié)系統(tǒng)也在1995年出現(xiàn)在慕尼黑寶馬公司的AG系列750iL和850Ci V-12兩款車上。寶馬公司的穩(wěn)定調(diào)節(jié)系統(tǒng)(DSC)運用的車輪速度傳感器同牽引控制系統(tǒng)和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)ABS防抱死系統(tǒng)一

12、牽引控制是預(yù)防加速時的車輪滑動,穩(wěn)定系統(tǒng)是當(dāng)汽車自由轉(zhuǎn)向時能獨立于駕駛員作出操作。依靠不同的駕駛狀況系統(tǒng)可以使每個車輪制動或者迅速使四個輪轉(zhuǎn)速適合于發(fā)動機的扭矩,從而使車輛穩(wěn)定和減少由于制動失控帶來的危險。新系統(tǒng)不僅僅控制完全制動還可以作用與部分制動,行車路線,加速度,車輪與發(fā)動機動作的滯后等,這些是ABS防抱死系統(tǒng)和牽引控制系統(tǒng)所遠遠不能達到的。</p><p>  三種主動的安全系統(tǒng)的作用時刻是一致的,那就是

13、一個車輪被鎖死或者車輪漸漸失去方向穩(wěn)定性或者車輪使得行駛更加困難。如果一輛車必須在較低摩擦系數(shù)的路面制動,必須避免車輪抱死以保持行駛穩(wěn)定性和可駕駛性。</p><p>  ABS防抱死系統(tǒng)和牽引控制系統(tǒng)能夠預(yù)防側(cè)滑,而穩(wěn)定性系統(tǒng)采取減少側(cè)面受力的穩(wěn)定措施。如果行駛車輛的側(cè)力不再適當(dāng)?shù)姆峙湓谝粋€或者更多輪上,車輛就會失穩(wěn),尤其是車輛沿曲線行駛時。駕駛員感覺到的“搖擺”起初是轉(zhuǎn)彎或者與車的軸線形成一個紡錘形時。一個獨

14、立的傳感器必須能夠識別這個“紡錘”,而 ABS防抱死系統(tǒng)和牽引控制系統(tǒng)通過車輪的轉(zhuǎn)速不能檢測車輛的橫向運動。</p><p><b>  轉(zhuǎn)向操作</b></p><p>  新系統(tǒng)通過對微小的汽車不足轉(zhuǎn)向(當(dāng)車輛對于方向盤操作反應(yīng)遲緩)和方向盤的“過敏”反應(yīng)(后輪發(fā)生來回擺動)。當(dāng)車輛在轉(zhuǎn)向時如果發(fā)生不足轉(zhuǎn)向和過度轉(zhuǎn)向運動時,穩(wěn)定調(diào)節(jié)系統(tǒng)能夠通過后輪進行內(nèi)部制動(針

16、4度。</p><p>  多數(shù)司機沒有從制動中恢復(fù)的經(jīng)驗。他們不知道輪胎和地面之間的摩擦系數(shù),更不知道他們的車的側(cè)緣穩(wěn)定邊界。當(dāng)極限被沖破時,駕駛員通常會很緊張以至于做出錯誤的反應(yīng)。ITT的格雷柏解釋說:“過度轉(zhuǎn)向引起車輛擺尾,使汽車更快的失控。ASMS傳感器能夠快速的檢測到制動開始時各個車輪的活動,從而使車輛恢復(fù)到穩(wěn)定行駛軌道。</p><p>  對于穩(wěn)定調(diào)節(jié)系統(tǒng)界面的可操作性是很重

18、傳感器和一臺高效處理信息的處理器。</p><p>  博世公司的VDC/ESP電子控制單元是一個由兩個48兆的ROM組成的傳統(tǒng)實驗電路板。范桑特說:“48KB的內(nèi)存容量是大量用以完成設(shè)計任務(wù)的‘智能’的代表”。他在SAE中指出。ABS防抱死系統(tǒng)是獨立的,只提供四分之一的這樣的容量,而ABS和牽引控制系統(tǒng)組合在一起的容量只有這個軟件容量的一半。</p><p>  除了ABS防抱死系統(tǒng)和牽

19、引控制系統(tǒng)所具有的關(guān)系傳感器外,VDC/ESP運用了偏航比率傳感器,橫向加速度傳感器,轉(zhuǎn)向角傳感器,制動壓力傳感器來獲取汽車的加速,搖擺或者剎車的信息。系統(tǒng)通過管理員獲得所需的通常的路面信息。方向盤上的傳感器由一組安裝在方向盤上的發(fā)光二極管和光敏二極管上組成。一只硅壓力傳感器通過控制前輪剎車內(nèi)壓力油的壓力控制制動壓力(因為制車壓力來源于駕駛員)。</p><p>  確定車輛實際的行駛路線是一項非常復(fù)雜的工作。

22、公司提供),另一種是用于照相機的價值160美元。由SAE報得知博施公司采取一種圓柱形設(shè)計方案以實現(xiàn)低成本下的高性能。這種傳感器需要一項更大的投資以應(yīng)對汽車所處的極端環(huán)境狀態(tài)。同時偏航比率回轉(zhuǎn)儀的價格必須降低,這樣才能充分應(yīng)用與汽車。</p><p>  偏航比率回轉(zhuǎn)儀有一個復(fù)雜的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu),其內(nèi)部是有一個很小的圓柱形鋼管伺服測量元件。圓柱的薄壁上有壓電元件能夠在15千赫茲的頻率下震動。四對這樣的感應(yīng)器安放在圓柱體的

23、周圍,一對元件的位置與另一對的位置相對。其中的一對通過應(yīng)用正弦電壓引起柱體在其固有頻率下產(chǎn)生共振,并將振動傳送給變頻器。在每一對傳感器之間,振顫節(jié)點繞著汽車的垂直軸作細微的運動。這時如果沒有偏航輸入,震動曲線就是一條穩(wěn)定的曲線。如果有信號輸入,節(jié)點的位置和曲線的波谷就會在相對的防線繞著圓筒壁做旋轉(zhuǎn)運動(科里奧利加速度)。這個輕微的位移就會成為汽車偏航比率的度量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。</p><p>  許多司機都相互宣傳他們的車

42、 in developing such a safety system. ITT Automotive of Auburn Hills, Mich., introduced its Automotive Stability Management System (ASMS) in January at the 1995 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. "ASM

43、S is a quantum leap in the evolution of antilock brake systems, combining the best attributes of ABS and traction control into a total vehicle dynamics management system," said Timothy D. Leuliette, ITT Automotive&#

44、39;s president and chief executive officer. </p><p>  "ASMS monitors what the vehicle controls indicate should be happening, compares that to what is actually happening, then works to compensate for the

45、 difference," said Johannes Graber, ASMS program manager at ITT Automotive Europe. ITT's system should begin appearing on vehicles worldwide near the end of the decade, according to Tom Mathues, director of engi

47、ity control system already appears on the 1995 750iL and 850Ci V-12 models from Munich-based BMW AG. The BMW Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system uses the same wheel-speed sensors as traction control and standard anti-

48、lock brake (ABS) systems to recognize conditions that can destabilize a vehicle in curves and corners. To detect such potentially dangerous cornering situations, DSC measures differences in rotational speed between the t

50、ontrol units use a sensor-based computer system to mediate between the human controller and the environment - in this case, the interface between tire and road. In addition, the system is built around a gyroscopelike sen

52、ive Engineers paper written by van Zanten and Bosch colleagues Rainer Erhardt and Georg Pfaff. Whereas ABS intervenes when wheel lock is imminent during braking, and traction control prevents wheel slippage when accelera

53、ting, stability control operates independently of the driver's actions even when the car is free-rolling. Depending on the particular driving situation, the system may activat</p><p>  The idea behind th

54、e three active safety systems is the same: One wheel locking or slipping significantly decreases directional stability or makes steering a vehicle more difficult. If a car must brake on a low-friction surface, locking it

55、s wheels should be avoided to maintain stability and steerability. </p><p>  Whereas ABS and traction control prevent undesired longitudinal slip, stability control reduces loss of lateral stability. If the

56、lateral forces of a moving vehicle are no longer adequate at one or more wheels, the vehicle may lose stability, particularly in curves. What the drive  "fishtailing" is primarily a turning or spinning aro

57、und the vehicle's axis. A separate sensor must recognize this spinning, because unlike ABS and traction control, a car's lateral movement cannot be calculated from i</p><p>  SPIN HANDLERS </p>

58、<p>  The new systems measure any tendency toward understeer (when a car responds slowly to steering changes), or over-steer (when the rear wheels try to swing around). If a car understeers and swerves off course

59、when driven in a curve, the stability control system will correct the error by braking the inner (with respect to the curve) rear wheel. This enables the driver, as in the case of ABS, to approach the locking limit of th

60、e road-tire interface without losing control of the vehicle. The stabilit</p><p>  The influence of side slip angle on maneuverability, the Bosch researchers explained, shows that the sensitivity of the yaw

61、moment on the vehicle, with respect to changes in the steering angle, decreases rapidly as the slip angle of the vehicle increases. Once the slip angle grows beyond a certain limit, the driver has a much harder time reco

62、vering by steering. On dry surfaces, maneuverability is lost at slip-angle values larger than approximately 10 degrees, and on packed snow at approximately </p><p>  Most drivers have little experience recov

63、ering from skids. They aren't aware of the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road and have no idea of their vehicle's lateral stability margin. When the limit of adhesion is reached, the driver is

64、 usually caught by surprise and very often reacts in the wrong way, steering too much. Oversteering, ITT's Graber explained, causes the car to fishtail, throwing the vehicle even further out of control. ASMS sensors,

65、 he said, can quickly detect th</p><p>  It is important that stability control systems be user-friendly at the limit of adhesion - that is, to act predictably in a way similar to normal driving. </p>

66、<p>  The biggest advantage of stability control is its speed - it can respond immediately not only to skids but also to shifting vehicle conditions (such as changes in weight or tire wear) and road quality. Thus,

67、the systems achieve optimum driving stability by changing the lateral stabilizing forces. </p><p>  For a stability control system to recognize the difference between what the driver wants (desired course) a

68、nd the actual movement of the vehicle (actual course), current cars require an efficient set of sensors and a greater computer capacity for processing information. </p><p>  The Bosch VDC/ESP electronic cont

69、rol unit contains a conventional circuit board with two partly redundant microcontrollers using 48 kilobytes of ROM each. The 48-kB memory capacity is representative of the large amount of "intelligence" requir

70、ed to perform the design task, van Zanten said. ABS alone, he wrote in the SAE paper, would require one-quarter of this capacity, while ABS and traction control together require only one half of this software capacity. &

71、lt;/p><p>  In addition to ABS and traction control systems and related sensors, VDC/ESP uses sensors for yaw rate, lateral acceleration, steering angle, and braking pressure as well as information on whether t

72、he car is accelerating, freely rolling, or braking. It obtains the necessary information on the current load condition of the engine from the engine controller. The steering-wheel angle sensor is based on a set of LED an

73、d photodiodes mounted in the steering wheel. A silicon-micromachine pressure senso</p><p>  Determining the actual course of the vehicle is a more complicated task. Wheel speed signals, which are provided fo

74、r antilock brakes/traction control by inductive wheel speed sensors, are required to derive longitudinal slip. For an exact analysis of possible movement, however, variables describing lateral motion are needed, so the s

75、ystem must be expanded with two additional sensors - yaw rate sensors and lateral acceleration sensors. </p><p>  A lateral accelerometer monitors the forces occurring in curves. This analog sensor operates

76、according to a damped spring-mass mechanism, by which a linear Hall generator transforms the spring displacement into an electrical signal. The sensor must be very sensitive, with an operating range of plus or minus 1.4

77、g.</p><p>  YAW RATE GYRO </p><p>  At the heart of the latest stability control system type is the yaw rate sensor, which is similar in function to a gyroscope. The sensor measures the speed at
