Abstract:
To solve the problems of narrow driving condition range, partial evaluation method and insufficient road adaptive control of trajectory tracking, the trajectory tracking accuracy and driving safety under full speed and full road adhesion coefficient were investigated. In the road adaptive model predictive control(MPC), the discrete linear time-varying predictive model was obtained by the three-degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of the vehicle. The road adaptive speed range matching was realized according to the road adhesion coefficient detected by sensors, and the constraint condition of the speed increment was formulated. The maximum and standard deviation of path tracking error, lateral acceleration, centroid sideslip angle and front wheel sideslip angle with the change of velocity and road adhesion coefficient were obtained by integrating CarSim and Matlab softwares. Combined with the mechanism of tire sideslip, the driving safety was evaluated, and the trajectory tracking stability/instability area of vehicle under all working conditions was divided. The results show that the vehicle speed can be adaptively adjusted according to the road information to achieve excellent trajectory tracking accuracy and driving safety under all working conditions.
