The estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of a battery’s power is one of the key technologies in a battery management system (BMS). As a common SOC estimation method, the traditional ampere-hour integral method regards the actual capacity of the battery, which is constantly changed by the usage conditions and environment, as a constant for calculation, which may cause errors in the results of SOC estimation. Considering the above problems, this paper proposes an improved ampere-hour integral method based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model. The LSTM network model is used to obtain the actual battery capacity variation, replacing the fixed value of battery capacity in the traditional ampere-hour integral method and optimizing the traditional ampere-hour integral method to improve the accuracy of the SOC estimation method. The experimental results show that the errors of the results obtained by the improved ampere-hour integral method for the SOC estimation are all less than 10%, which proves that the proposed design method is feasible and effective.

The traditional ampere-hour (Ah) integration method ignores the influence of battery health (SOH) and considers that the battery capacity will not change over time. To solve the above problem, we proposed a joint SOH-SOC estimation model based on the GWO-BP neural network to optimize the Ah integration method. The method completed SOH estimation through the GWO-BP neural network and introduced SOH into the Ah integration method to correct battery capacity and improve the accuracy of state of charge (SOC) estimation. In addition, the method also predicted the SOH of the battery, so the driver could have a clearer understanding of the battery aging level. In this paper, the stability of the joint SOH-SOC estimation model was verified by using different battery data from different sources. Comparative experimental results showed that the estimation error of the joint SOH-SOC estimation model could be stabilized within 5%, which was smaller compared with the traditional ampere integration method.

The brake system is a key component to ensuring the safe driving and riding comfort of the vehicle, and the friction between the brake disc and the friction plate is the main source of vibration and noise. Therefore, in order to improve the stability of the braking system and reduce the generation of vibration, a six-degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamics model was established, and using the Stribeck friction model and related parameters, the dynamic equation was solved by the Runge-Kutta method. The bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov diagram, time domain diagram, frequency spectrum diagram, and phase plane diagram of the brake pad and brake disc during friction braking were obtained, and the vibration characteristics of both under different braking pressure, braking speed, brake pad support stiffness, and brake disc support stiffness were analyzed. The results show that brake pressure is an important factor in triggering nonlinear vibration; increasing the braking speed will increase the amplitude of vibration, but will shorten the time to enter the stable motion state, and increasing the support stiffness brake pad and disc will reduce the amplitude of system vibration.

Parking space recognition is an important part in the process of automatic parking, and it is also a key issue in the research field of automatic parking technology. The parking space recognition process was studied based on vision and the YOLOv5 target detection algorithm. Firstly, the fisheye camera around the body was calibrated using the Zhang Zhengyou calibration method, and then the corrected images captured by the camera were top-view transformed; then, the projected transformed images were stitched and fused in a unified coordinate system, and an improved image equalization processing fusion algorithm was used in order to improve the uneven image brightness in the parking space recognition process; after that, the fused images were input to the YOLOv5 target detection model for training and validation, and the results were compared with those of two other algorithms. Finally, the contours of the parking space were extracted based on OpenCV. The simulations and experiments proved that the brightness and sharpness of the fused images meet the requirements after image equalization, and the effectiveness of the parking space recognition method was also verified.

To improve performance in terms of overshoot and motor response speed when a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with a proportional–integral (PI) controller is subjected to external disturbances, this paper proposes a speed control strategy based on an enhanced Beetle Antennae Search algorithm, which allows for adjustable parameters of the PI controller within a certain range. Firstly, to enhance the global and local search capabilities of each individual beetle, the step size was improved by linearly decreasing it. Secondly, a simulation model of a PMSM closed-loop control system was built to verify the effectiveness of the improved Beetle Antennae Search (BAS) algorithm. Finally, a linear feedback shift register model that generates four random numbers was developed on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The improved BAS algorithm for the PMSM control system was implemented on an FPGA using the Verilog hardware description language, and the feasibility of the system was verified through hardware simulation. Additionally, the hardware resource consumption on different FPGA platforms was analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed new speed control strategy can reduce the overshoot and improve the motor response speed.
