In order to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy for theoretical models and data-driven models for objective drivability evaluation requiring a large amount of data, an objective drivability evaluation method based on a hierarchical mixture model is proposed. First, a novel method of constructing a drivability evaluation system is developed, which combined by work breakdown structure (WBS) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Then, downshift condition is taken as a case study, and the subdivision condition is identified based on the hybrid mixture model. What's more, the drivability evaluation indexes of downshift condition are analyzed to establish the evaluation system of drivability.

In this paper a new pressure control method of a modified accumulator-type Electro-hydraulic Braking System (EHB) is proposed. The system is composed of a hydraulic motor pump, an accumulator, an integrated master cylinder, a pedal feel simulator, valves and pipelines. Two pressurizing modes are switched between by-motor and by-accumulator to adapt different pressure boost demands. A differentiator filtering raw sensor signal and calculating pedal speed is designed. By using the pedal feel simulator, the relationship between wheel pressures and brake force is decoupled. The relationships among pedal displacement, pedal force and wheel pressure are calibrated by experiments. A model-based PI controller with predictor is designed to lower the influences caused by delay. Moreover, a self-tuning regulator is introduced to deal with the parameter’s time-varying caused by temperature, brake pads wearing and delay variation.
