DETERMINATION OF AERODYNAMIC ACTUATION COMMANDS

摘要

A vehicle has first and second portions, with a front aerodynamic element located in the first portion and a rear aerodynamic element located in the second portion. The front and rear aerodynamic elements are each independently movable to respective deployment positions between respective stowed positions and respective fully-extended positions. A controller is operatively connected to each of the front and rear aerodynamic elements and has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. The controller is programmed to obtain a front target position (Tf,n) for the front aerodynamic element at a current time step (n) based at least partially on at least one vehicle state parameter at a previous time-step (n−1) and a detected position (Dr,n−1) of the rear aerodynamic element at the previous time-step (n−1).

1. A vehicle having first and second portions, the vehicle comprising:
a front aerodynamic element located in the first portion; a rear aerodynamic element located in the second portion; wherein the front and rear aerodynamic elements are each independently movable to respective deployment positions between respective stowed positions and respective fully-extended positions; and a controller operatively connected to each of the front and rear aerodynamic elements and having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory; wherein the controller is programmed to obtain a front target position (Tf,n) for the front aerodynamic element at a current time step (n) based at least partially on at least one vehicle state parameter at a previous time-step (n−1) and a detected position (Dr,n−1) of the rear aerodynamic element at the previous time-step (n−1).
