Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, driver assistance and autonomous driving technologies are being used more and more widely. Among them, the electric power steering system (EPS) is an important device for realizing the lateral control of a car, and the performance of EPS angle control directly affects the lateral control of a car in driver assistance or autonomous driving situations.

[0003] Current EPS angle control uses a PID algorithm, which calculates the target steering wheel angle and the actual steering wheel angle, and then performs PID calculations on both to obtain the power steering motor control torque. This control method performs well under normal driving conditions on cement or asphalt with a small slope. However, current assisted driving applications are becoming increasingly complex, and the operating conditions vary more greatly.

[0040] The overall vehicle angle lateral control system consists of the following components: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a camera, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, ADS controller, vehicle speed sensor, steering wheel angle sensor, steering wheel force sensor, operating condition recognition system, EPS controller, and EPS steering motor.

[0041] When the driver activates adaptive cruise control or automatic parking via the instrument panel button or voice command, the ADAS controller collects information from the camera, radar, vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and steering wheel force to determine whether to activate angle control. The determination conditions are as follows: the vehicle is more than 20cm away from the lane lines on both sides, the distance to the vehicle in front is 100m, the vehicle speed is less than 120km / h, the steering wheel force is less than 2Nm, and the steering wheel angle is less than 30°.

[0042] When the conditions are met, the ADAS controller activates the EPS angle control function and transmits the signal (Active state) to the EPS motor torque calculation module through the CAN network.

[0043] The vehicle condition recognition module calculates PID parameters suitable for the current operating conditions based on the steering wheel angle signal, steering wheel force signal, and EPS motor torque, and then transmits these parameters to the EPS motor torque calculation module.

When turning on cement or asphalt roads, select the medium steering resistance setting. , , Parameters that allow EPS performance to remain at Figure 3 Within the range shown.
