For the estimation of road adhesion coefficient, a key parameter in vehicle active safety system, a three-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model with Dugoff tire model was established, and the road adhesion coefficient estimator was designed based on Square root Cubature Kalman Filter (SCKF). This method introduced orthogonal trigonometric decomposition into Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) algorithm, avoiding the root operation of covariance matrix in CKF, and improving the stability of the algorithm. MATLAB and CarSim co-simulation platform were used to carry out multi-condition simulation verification under different road conditions, and the proposed algorithm was compared with CKF algorithm. The results show that SCKF algorithm has high robustness and higher estimation accuracy than CKF algorithm, and can meet the requirements of vehicle active safety system.

In order to study the influence of suspension time delay on the vehicle, the 1/4 semi-active suspension system with time delay was taken as the research object. The stability condition of the time-delay system was used to solve the stability interval of the adjustable damping. For the case outside the stability interval, the critical time delay point was solved, and the numerical simulation was carried out under the discrete impact road surface. The results show that when the time delay is reasonably selected in the stability interval, the ride comfort and handling stability can be improved. When the stability interval is outside, the time-frequency analysis of the suspension performance index is carried out by selecting the critical point of time delay and the nearby points. When the time delay is less than the critical time delay point, the system remains stable. When it is greater than the critical time delay point, the system diverges and is unstable, and the ride comfort and handling stability of the vehicle deteriorate. With the increase of time delay, the power of the suspension performance index gradually increases, and the power of the suspension performance index in the low frequency band is significantly greater than that in other frequency bands.

In this paper, a permanent magnet synchronous motor for vehicles was used as the research object. According to the specific structural size parameters and performance parameters of the stator and rotor blades of the motor, a two-dimensional simulation model was established in the electromagnetic field finite element analysis software to solve the electromagnetic field and loss distribution of the motor under special operating conditions. The loss density obtained by electromagnetic field simulation was imported into the temperature field simulation software to calculate the temperature distribution reaching the steady state under the operating conditions. Through the comparison of coupled simulation and single-physics simulation, it is concluded that the hot spots distribution of the coupled simulation is more concentrated, and the thermal risk of the motor can be discovered and improved in time. The working condition temperature rise test of this motor indicates that the coupled simulation temperature rise data is basically consistent with the test data, proving correctness of the motor coupled simulation results.
