Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of automobile steering control, in particular to a four-wheel independent driving independent steering humanized operation intention decision method.
Background
With the development of technologies such as electric automobiles and automatic driving, a four-wheel independent driving independent steering vehicle is an important platform for carrying new technologies. The four-wheel independent driving independent steering vehicle respectively and independently controls the rotation angle and the torque of each wheel through the wheel edge actuators, so that the control precision is improved. The mechanical connection structure in the traditional automobile is replaced, multiple steering modes such as four-wheel steering, in-situ steering, wedge steering and the like can be realized, and compared with the traditional automobile, the automobile has more flexible control performance, and can also show higher maneuverability under complex road conditions and special scenes. However, since the steering wheel is not directly connected with the wheels, the steering angle and torque of the wheels cannot be calculated through parameters such as steering ratio, transmission ratio and the like, and the target quantity under the current working condition needs to be provided for control. The vehicle steering intention needs to be determined in conjunction with the actual motion state and the current operation amount of the driver. The driver also performs feedback control on the state of the vehicle depending on the feeling of the sense organ to the external stimulus. Therefore, the expected motion states under different steering modes are determined by combining subjective feeling of a driver and the motion states of the vehicle, the four-wheel independent driving independent steering motion expected value setting accords with the characteristics of the driver operating a traditional vehicle, and the determined motion intensity accords with the driver expectation.
The invention patent CN114919587a discloses a method for controlling the coordination of the transverse and longitudinal movements of a vehicle, which determines the expected movement trend and the change rate of the driver according to the operation instructions of the accelerator pedal/brake pedal and the steering wheel of the driver, and then calculates the expected steering movement center position of the whole vehicle according to the expected and actual movements and the change rate. On the basis, the expected rotation angle and the expected rotation speed of each wheel are determined based on the fact that the steering centers of the wheels meet the expected steering movement center of the whole vehicle, and the expected torque of each wheel is calculated with the aim of tracking the expected rotation speed, so that the method is suitable for various steering modes. However, the influence of the time lag of the system is not considered, and the invention further combines the psychophysics law to coordinate the transverse and longitudinal movements on the basis of considering the time lag of the system.
The invention patent CN117408307a provides a model for quantifying the relationship between vehicle longitudinal and lateral handling behavior and passenger riding experience, which comprises a psychophysics module, a data-driven module and an ensemble learning module. Based on the principle of quantitative psychology, feature vectors are extracted from input parameters, the relation between vehicle dynamics sequences generated by different vehicle operation behaviors and subjective experiences of passengers is quantitatively analyzed, the output of a psychophysics module and the output of a data driving sub-module are taken as inputs, the outputs of the two sub-models are fused through a full-connection network, and an output result of the whole model is obtained, wherein the result is an index of driving comfort corresponding to the currently input vehicle dynamics sequences. But does not consider the psychophysical desired movement of the various steering modes.
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a four-wheel independent driving independent steering humanized steering intention decision method, which can analyze the steering intention aiming at different steering modes.
