Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of virtual rail trains, and in particular to a gantry virtual rail train and a steering and tracking control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A virtual rail transit system is a road traffic system adopting the operation management mode of urban rail transit. The so-called "virtual track" is different from the physical track used in the traditional railway transportation system, but is a new type of "digital track" formed by adding a series of ground induction devices or beacons on the traditional urban road. The virtual rail train adopts a non-contact guiding technology and a rubber wheel running gear, uses the environment perception technology to identify and perceive the virtual track information and the train operation environment, uses the information fusion technology to realize the high-precision positioning of the vehicle, and realizes the self-guiding of the train through the tracking control technology. Therefore, the virtual rail train has the advantages of large transport capacity, high running stability of the traditional tram, strong adaptability of buses and BRTs, and low road construction cost.

[0003] Considering the characteristic that the virtual rail train has a longer formation than the traditional road public transport vehicle, effectively making each car body module of the vehicle follow the road becomes the core problem. Therefore, the multi-wheel steering control technology is one of the key technologies in the tracking control process of the virtual rail train. At present, there has been certain research on the path following control of virtual rail trains with various architectures. For example, Chinese Patent CN110244731A discloses an active tracking control method for a three-car formation virtual rail train, specifically: (1) The main controller of the virtual rail train reads the virtual track information through the cameras of the head car and the tail car, and judges whether the vehicle deviates from the track; (2) According to the offset of the vehicle relative to the track, calculate the steering angles of each axle wheel of the head car and the tail car required for the vehicle to track; (3) Determine the turning radius and the speed instant center of the head car and the tail car from the vehicle size parameters and the steering angles of each axle of the head car and the tail car, and calculate the speed instant center of the intermediate car; (4) Calculate the steering angles of each axle wheel of the intermediate car from the vehicle size parameters, the turning radii of the head car and the tail car, and the speed instant center of the intermediate car; (5) The tracking controller of the virtual rail train controls each steering motor according to the target steering angles of each axle wheel. Although the vehicle can track, the tracking accuracy is not high when using the above method to track at a turning, the running time of the tracking algorithm is long, and the reaction is relatively slow.
