本研究针对越野自动驾驶车辆因路面粗糙度变化导致的航向偏移与轮胎失附问题,提出一种基于贝叶斯校准方法的实时路面粗糙度估计系统。该系统通过处理车轴加速度数据,结合高斯过程代理模型与仿真半车模型,将车辆速度与路面粗糙度参数映射为对应的加速度响应。贝叶斯校准流程反向推算路面粗糙度,生成后验分布以量化预测不确定性,用于自适应风险管控。训练数据通过拉丁超立方采样覆盖全面的速度与粗糙度参数空间。校准模型无缝集成至Simplex控制器架构中,根据实时粗糙度预测动态调整速度限制。在随机生成的含不同粗糙度区域路面上的实验验证表明,系统具备稳健的实时表征能力,集成的Simplex控制策略有效提升了自动驾驶车辆在复杂地形下的运行安全。该贝叶斯框架为降低粗糙度相关风险、提升系统效率与安全裕度提供了完整技术基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This research addresses critical autonomous vehicle control challenges arising from road roughness variation, which induces course deviations and potential loss of road contact during steering operations. We present a novel real-time road roughness estimation system employing Bayesian calibration methodology that processes axle accelerations to predict terrain roughness with quantifiable confidence measures. The technical framework integrates a Gaussian process surrogate model with a simulated half-vehicle model, systematically processing vehicle velocity and road surface roughness parameters to generate corresponding axle acceleration responses. The Bayesian calibration routine performs inverse estimation of road roughness from observed accelerations and velocities, yielding posterior distributions that quantify prediction uncertainty for adaptive risk management. Training data generation utilizes Latin Hypercube sampling across comprehensive velocity and roughness parameter spaces, while the calibrated model integrates seamlessly with a Simplex controller architecture to dynamically adjust velocity limits based on real-time roughness predictions. Experimental validation on stochastically generated surfaces featuring varying roughness regions demonstrates robust real-time characterization capabilities, with the integrated Simplex control strategy effectively enhancing autonomous vehicle operational safety through proactive surface condition response. This innovative Bayesian framework establishes a comprehensive foundation for mitigating roughness-related operational risks while simultaneously improving efficiency and safety margins in autonomous vehicle systems.
