[0043] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0045] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0046] As used in this application specification and the appended claims, the term "if" may be interpreted, depending on the context, as "when," "once," "in response to determination," or "in response to detection." Similarly, the phrase "if determined" or "if [the described condition or event] is detected" may be interpreted, depending on the context, as "once determined," "in response to determination," "once [the described condition or event] is detected," or "in response to detection of [the described condition or event]."

[0047] Furthermore, in the description of this application and the appended claims, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0049] Current vehicles offer multiple front-wheel steering modes, such as Light, Sport, and Comfort. Each mode corresponds to a different power steering torque to meet the driver's individual driving needs. For instance, in Light mode, the power steering motor provides a larger torque, and the driver contributes less torque when the front wheels turn the same angle. Conversely, in Comfort mode, the power steering motor provides a smaller torque, and the driver contributes more torque when the front wheels turn the same angle. Therefore, when the driver uses the same amount of force to turn the steering wheel, the steering wheel angle and the rate of front wheel rotation differ depending on the steering mode.

[0050] However, the rear-wheel steering of current vehicles is only set to one fixed steering mode. That is, regardless of the state of the wheels, the rear wheels will only turn at a fixed angle rate when turning. In some cases, the vehicle may experience abruptness and lag when turning the rear wheels, which will affect the stability of the vehicle.

[0051] Based on the above problems, this application provides a rear-wheel steering control method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the rear wheel steering control method includes steps S101 to S103.

[0052] Step S101: When the rear wheel steering function is enabled, determine the feedforward rear wheel steering rate based on the actual rear wheel steering rate and the correction coefficient; the correction coefficient is the coefficient corresponding to the rear wheel steering mode.

[0053] Specifically, when the rear-wheel steering function is activated, the actual rear-wheel steering angle rate and correction coefficient are obtained. The actual rear-wheel steering angle rate can be obtained through sensors on the vehicle. The correction coefficient corresponds to the rear-wheel steering mode; therefore, before obtaining the correction coefficient, the vehicle's current rear-wheel steering mode needs to be identified. Once the rear-wheel steering mode is determined, the corresponding correction coefficient is determined based on that mode.

[0054] Designers can set multiple rear-wheel steering modes based on the actual conditions of the vehicle and assign corresponding correction coefficients to each mode. For example, the rear-wheel steering modes of the vehicle can be set to Light, Comfort, and Sport modes, with a correction coefficient of K corresponding to Light mode. 轻便 The correction factor for Comfort mode is K. 舒适 The correction factor corresponding to the motion mode is K. 运动 , where K 轻便 >K 舒适 >K 运动 Once the rear-wheel steering pattern of the vehicle is identified, the corresponding correction coefficient can be determined based on the rear-wheel steering pattern.

[0055] Once the actual rear wheel steering rate and correction coefficient are determined, the actual rear wheel steering rate is corrected based on the correction coefficient to obtain the feedforward rear wheel steering rate.

[0056] For example, the product of the actual rear wheel steering rate and the correction coefficient is calculated to obtain the feedforward rear wheel steering rate.

[0057] Since the correction factor is determined based on the rear wheel steering pattern, the actual rear wheel steering rate is corrected based on the correction factor, and the resulting feedforward rear wheel steering rate matches the vehicle's current rear wheel steering pattern.

[0058] Step S102: Determine the feedback rear wheel steering rate based on the vehicle's driving parameters and body parameters.

[0059] Specifically, the vehicle's driving parameters include vehicle speed, actual yaw rate, front wheel steering angle, and rear wheel steering angle. The vehicle's body parameters include vehicle weight, front and rear wheelbase, front and rear axle stiffness, and rear track width. Once the vehicle speed, actual yaw rate, front wheel steering angle, rear wheel steering angle, vehicle weight, front and rear wheelbase, front and rear axle stiffness, and rear track width are determined, the feedback rear wheel steering rate is calculated based on these parameters. Since the feedback rear wheel steering rate is determined based on the vehicle's driving parameters and body parameters, it reflects the vehicle's current state.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S102 may include steps S1021 to S1023.

[0061] Step S1021: Determine the stability factor based on the vehicle weight, front and rear wheelbase, and front and rear axle stiffness.

[0062] Specifically, vehicle weight can be obtained through sensors on the vehicle or pre-calibrated by the designers. The front and rear wheelbase, the distance between the center points of the front and rear axles, can also be pre-calibrated by the designers. Front and rear axle stiffness can be obtained by collecting data from sensors on the vehicle and processing the data, or it can be pre-calibrated by the designers. This application does not limit the methods for obtaining vehicle weight, front and rear wheelbase, and front and rear axle stiffness.

[0063] Once the vehicle weight, front and rear wheelbase, and front and rear axle stiffness are obtained, the stability factor is determined based on these parameters.

[0064] Step S1022: Determine the desired yaw rate based on vehicle speed, front wheel steering angle, rear wheel steering angle, rear wheel track, and stability factor.

[0065] Specifically, vehicle speed refers to the vehicle's current speed, which can be obtained through sensors on the vehicle. The front and rear wheel steering angles can also be obtained through sensors on the vehicle. The rear track width is the distance between the two rear wheels of the vehicle, which can be obtained through sensors on the vehicle or pre-calibrated by the designers. This application does not limit the methods for obtaining vehicle speed, front wheel steering angle, rear wheel steering angle, and rear track width.

[0066] Once the vehicle speed, front wheel steering angle, rear wheel steering angle, rear wheel track width, and stability factor are determined, the difference between the front and rear wheel steering angles is calculated to obtain the steering angle difference. The ratio of the vehicle speed to the rear wheel track width is then calculated to obtain the first ratio. Based on the vehicle speed and stability factor, the stability parameters are calculated. Finally, based on the steering angle difference, the first ratio, and the stability parameters, the desired yaw rate is obtained.

[0067] Step S1023: Determine the feedback rear wheel rotation rate based on the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate.

[0068] Specifically, the actual yaw rate can be obtained by sensors on the vehicle. Once the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate are determined, the feedback rear wheel rotation rate is determined based on the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate.

[0069] For example, firstly, the difference between the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate is calculated to obtain the yaw rate difference. Then, the yaw rate difference is input into a PID (Proportion-Integral-Differential) controller to adjust the yaw rate difference using PID control, thereby obtaining the feedback rear wheel rotation rate.

[0070] Step S103: Determine the target rear wheel angular rate based on the feedforward rear wheel angular rate and the feedback rear wheel angular rate.

[0071] Specifically, once the feedforward rear wheel angular rate and the feedback rear wheel angular rate are determined, the target rear wheel angular rate is determined based on these two rates.

[0072] For example, the target rear wheel angular rate is obtained by calculating the sum of the feedforward rear wheel angular rate and the feedback rear wheel angular rate.

[0073] Because the feedforward rear wheel angular rate matches the vehicle's current rear wheel steering pattern, and the feedback rear wheel angular rate matches the vehicle's current state, the target rear wheel angular rate determined based on the feedforward and feedback rear wheel angular rates matches both the vehicle's current rear wheel steering pattern and its current state. When the vehicle's rear wheels rotate at the target rear wheel angular rate, the vehicle can achieve stable steering.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rear wheel steering control method also includes steps S301 and S302.

[0075] Step S301: Upon receiving a rear-wheel steering mode request, determine whether the conditions for switching rear-wheel steering mode are met based on the vehicle's status parameters and driving parameters.

[0076] Specifically, during a turn, the driver may switch the rear-wheel steering mode. For example, the driver may activate the rear-wheel steering mode while the vehicle is turning. Or, the driver may switch the rear-wheel steering mode from one steering mode to another while the vehicle is turning.

[0077] When the driver needs to switch to rear-wheel steering mode, a rear-wheel steering mode request is sent. Upon receiving the request, the system determines whether the conditions for switching rear-wheel steering mode are met based on the vehicle's status and driving parameters.

[0078] Vehicle status parameters include rear wheel steering calibration status, rear wheel steering fault status, rear wheel steering switch status, rear wheel steering motor status, power supply status, steering mode request status, driver's steering wheel torque, and steering wheel angle rate. Vehicle driving parameters include vehicle speed.

[0079] The rear-wheel steering mode switching condition is determined to be met if all of the vehicle's state parameters and driving parameters meet the following conditions:

[0080] Condition 1: The rear wheel steering calibration status is calibrated.

[0081] Condition 2: The rear wheel steering fault status is "no fault".

[0082] Condition 3: The rear wheel steering switch is in the ON position.

[0083] Condition 4: The rear wheel steering motor is in normal condition.

[0084] Condition 5: The power status bit is KL150N.

[0085] Condition 6: Vehicle speed is less than 120 km / h (can be calibrated).

[0086] Condition 7: The driver's steering wheel torque is less than 2 Nm (calibrable) and lasts for 200 ms or more.

[0087] Condition 8: The steering wheel turning rate is less than 360 deg / s and lasts for 200 ms or more.

[0088] Condition 9: The steering mode request status is fault-free.

[0089] If the vehicle's status parameters and driving parameters do not meet any of the above conditions, then the rear wheel steering mode switching conditions are not met.

[0090] Step S302: If it is determined that the rear wheel steering mode switching conditions are met, respond to the rear wheel steering mode request.

[0091] Specifically, if the conditions for switching rear-wheel steering mode are met, the vehicle can switch to rear-wheel steering mode. In this case, the vehicle responds to the rear-wheel steering mode request and switches to the requested mode, thus achieving the rear-wheel steering mode switch. If the conditions for switching rear-wheel steering mode are not met, the vehicle is prevented from switching rear-wheel steering mode.

[0092] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
