Abstract  

With the accelerated intelligent transformation of the automotive industry, the wheel hubs, as the core safety components of vehicles, have increasingly higher requirements for detection accuracy and efficiency. However, the existing wheel hub detection methods are longer able to meet the demands for efficient and high-precision automatic detection. To address the shortcomings of high cost, low efficiency, and insufficient accuracy in existing wheel hub detection methods, a hybrid deep learning model (CNN-BiLSTM-AM) combining convolutional neural network (CNN), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), and attention mechanism (AM) was proposed. A vehicle longitudinal control model was constructed to realize speed tracking, thereby achieving efficient and high-precision automatic wheel hub detection. When using BiLSTM for data modeling, this model employed CNN to suppress noise to solve the noise sensitivity defect of BiLSTM, and introduced AM to focus on critical information to avoid the issue of losing key features in simple models, thereby improving prediction accuracy. Simulation results showed that compared with traditional RNN (recurrent neural network), LSTM, GRU (gated recurrent unit), the CNN-BiLSTM-AM model achieved an average improvement of 3.17% in determination coefficient R2 and an average reduction of 29.76% in MAE (mean absolute error) in the overall prediction task. Bench test results indicated that the proposed method could effectively complete wheel hub performance detection, achieving high-precision speed tracking while improving detection efficiency. This method provides an efficient solution for the automatic detection of vehicle wheel hubs.

基于深度学习的车辆轮毂测试速度控制研究

随着汽车行业向智能化加速转型,轮毂作为车辆的核心安全部件,对检测精度与效率的要求不断提升,现有轮毂检测方法已无法满足高效、高精度的自动化检测需求。针对现有轮毂检测方法存在的成本高、效率低和精度不足等缺陷,提出了一种结合卷积神经网络(convolutional neural network, CNN)、双向长短期记忆网络(bidirectional long short-term memory, BiLSTM)和注意力机制(attention mechanism, AM)的混合深度学习模型(CNN-BiLSTM-AM),并通过构建车辆纵向控制模型完成速度跟踪,实现高效、高精度的轮毂自动检测。该模型在采用BiLSTM对数据进行建模时,利用CNN抑制噪声以解决BiLSTM对噪声敏感的问题,同时引入AM聚焦关键信息以避免简单模型中关键特征易丢失的问题,从而提高预测精度。仿真结果显示,与传统的RNN(recurrent neural network,循环神经网络)、LSTM、GRU(gated recurrent unit,门控循环单元)等模型相比,CNN-BiLSTM-AM模型在整体预测任务中的决定系数R2平均提升了3.17%,MAE(mean absolute error,平均绝对误差)平均降低了29.76%。台架试验结果表明,所提出的方法可有效完成轮毂性能检测,在实现高精度速度跟踪的同时提高了检测效率,这可为车辆轮毂的自动化检测提供高效的解决方案。
