Protection of unmanned vehicles from component failures

Abstract

For the transfer of road transport to unmanned driving, it is necessary to create not only technologies for automatic control of the movement of vehicles, but also technical measures to protect them from failures of components of unmanned vehicles. Such protection will ensure the development of monitoring the performance and operational properties of unmanned vehicles in combination with algorithms for the use of its results. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the methods of automation of control parameters of performance of unmanned vehicles and the construction of protective control algorithms of unmanned vehicles in the interests of technical operation. A new method of automatic control of parameters dependent on the technical condition, modes and operating conditions of vehicles is proposed. It is based on the simultaneous control of the parameters of the technical condition, mode and operating conditions of the tested component, the division of the ranges of possible changes in the parameters of the mode and conditions at narrow intervals, the formation of possible combinations of the intervals obtained and registration of the standards of the estimated parameter for each combination of intervals at the beginning of operation of an unmanned vehicle. The proposed method is intended for the implementation of the onboard local network of an unmanned vehicle.
