The invention relates to a four-wheel independent steering and driving vehicle
path tracking control method based on a compound control framework, which comprises the following steps of: 1, establishing a seven-degree-of-freedom dynamical model of a four-wheel independent steering and driving vehicle, and realizing high-performance
path tracking by reasonably distributing input parameters; step 2, establishing a deep
reinforcement learning transition model, defining a vehicle state and an input parameter of an auxiliary controller, and designing a
system reward function to optimize
path tracking control performance; 3, selecting a twin
delay depth deterministic strategy gradient
algorithm to realize deep
reinforcement learning, reducing the over-
estimation problem of the
algorithm, and improving the learning stability; 4, a double-layer control framework is adopted, an upper-layer controller calculates generalized control quantity based on
nonlinear model predictive control, and a lower-layer controller distributes the generalized control quantity to each wheel through sequential quadratic
programming so as to solve the transverse and longitudinal
coupling problem of the vehicle in path tracking control; and step 5, the auxiliary controller based on deep
reinforcement learning carries out real-time compensation on the
control variable according to the external disturbance and the vehicle state, so that the control precision and stability of path tracking are improved. By means of the method, stable control over four-wheel independent steering and driving vehicle path tracking in a complex environment is achieved, and the
adaptive capacity of the
system to external interference is enhanced.
