[0037] Vehicle 3. Detailed Implementation

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0039] In related technologies, the quality of lateral and longitudinal steering wheel control of a vehicle directly affects the success or failure of parking. During the implementation of each action, the angle of the vehicle's steering wheels, such as the front wheels, needs to be consistent with the target control angle. The accuracy error of each action will be transmitted to the next action. The more actions there are, the worse the accuracy becomes.

[0040] On the other hand, the comfort and safety of the vehicle's lateral and longitudinal steering wheel control directly affect the user's parking experience. After the lateral control tracking algorithm, such as Pure Pursuit, Stanley, LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator), or MPC (Model Predictive Control), generates the steering target, the lateral trajectory tracking control mainly controls the smooth control of the steering wheel's angle towards the target.

[0041] For example, when the vehicle is parked, the motion parameters of the steering wheel are acquired, indicating a first steering wheel angle in the direction of deflection. Based on the ground information at the vehicle's parking position, a target compensation angle is determined. This target compensation angle is used to compensate for the first steering wheel angle to obtain a second steering wheel angle. The steering wheel is then controlled to rotate in the opposite direction of deflection to achieve the second steering wheel angle. Due to ground friction, after controlling the steering wheel to rotate in the opposite direction of deflection, the steering wheel may not return to center. Compensating for the first steering wheel angle with the target compensation angle improves the accuracy of steering wheel control.

[0042] However, when the steering angle is controlled by the difference between the current angle and the target angle, the steering wheel may wobble significantly during the control process because the angular velocity curve may have a step at the starting point of the trajectory.

[0043] Therefore, the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of this invention, by using multi-dimensional control of the steering wheel motion, can effectively suppress the problem of uneven steering wheel trajectory planning in vehicle parking lateral control, avoid overshoot when the steering wheel reaches the target position, improve the steering wheel control effect, thereby achieving smooth steering wheel control and improving the stability of vehicle parking.

[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 An example is given to illustrate the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of this invention.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of this embodiment of the invention includes at least steps S1-S5.

[0046] Step S1: Obtain the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel.

[0047] The current motion parameters of the steering wheel include the current position, current speed, and current acceleration of the steering wheel. The target motion parameters of the steering wheel include the target position, target speed, and target acceleration of the steering wheel. By obtaining the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel, it is easy to determine whether the vehicle meets the conditions for steering wheel motion curve planning, thereby enabling reasonable planning of the steering wheel motion curve.

[0048] In this embodiment, the vehicle's driving status under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time by relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the vehicle's driving data can be obtained, namely the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel. The current motion parameters of the steering wheel include the current position of the steering wheel, for example denoted as s0, the steering wheel speed, for example denoted as v0, and the steering wheel acceleration, for example denoted as a0. The target motion parameters of the steering wheel include the target position of the steering wheel, for example denoted as s1, the target speed of the steering wheel, for example denoted as v1, and the target acceleration of the steering wheel, for example denoted as a1. By obtaining the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel, it is determined whether the vehicle meets the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions. When the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions are met, the steering wheel motion curve is planned in real time according to the above parameters.

[0049] Step S2: When the current motion parameters and the target motion parameters meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions, plan the steering wheel motion curve based on the current motion parameters, the target motion parameters, and the higher-order curve.

[0050] Among them, the steering wheel motion curve planning condition is to be able to control the smooth and fluid operation of the steering wheel. The higher-order curve is, for example, the fifth-order curve. By using the fifth-order curve to dynamically plan the position and speed of the steering wheel, the steering wheel motion curve is made more continuous and smooth, reducing steps or sudden changes, thereby reducing problems such as steering wheel vibration, jamming, and overshoot when the steering wheel reaches the target position.

[0051] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel, it is determined whether the current motion parameters and target motion parameters meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions. If the current motion parameters and target motion parameters meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions, then a higher-order curve, i.e., a fifth-order curve, is calculated based on the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel. The calculation formula for the fifth-order curve is as follows:

[0052]

[0053] After determining the higher-order curve, based on the current motion parameters, target motion parameters, and higher-order curve of the steering wheel, a motion curve from the current position of the steering wheel to the target position of the steering wheel is planned. Among them, the higher-order curve, namely the fifth-order curve, plans the position and velocity of the steering wheel motion curve in real time, ensuring that the target position, target velocity, and target acceleration of the steering wheel meet the expectations, and ensuring that the changes in the target position, target velocity, and target acceleration of the steering wheel are smooth and continuous. This solves the problems of steering wheel vibration and steering wheel jamming caused by non-smooth and abrupt changes in the steering wheel motion curve in the lateral control of automatic parking.

[0054] Step S3: Determine the steering wheel motion sampling point based on the steering wheel motion curve.

[0055] In this embodiment, after determining the steering wheel motion curve, the steering wheel motion curve is discretized, and the corresponding motion curve discrete sequences are sampled and stored, namely, the position sampling discrete sequence, the velocity sampling discrete sequence, and the acceleration discrete sampling sequence. After determining the above motion curve discrete sequences, the current motion parameters of the steering wheel are combined with the current motion parameters to determine the sampling point closest to the current motion parameters as the steering wheel motion sampling point, ensuring real-time control of the steering wheel motion state. At the same time, the entire control process from the current position of the steering wheel to the target position of the steering wheel is refined, avoiding the situation of step or sudden change in the steering wheel motion curve caused by simply controlling the starting point and the end point.

[0056] Step S4: Determine the forward target motion control point of the steering wheel based on the steering wheel motion sampling points and the steering wheel motion curve.

[0057] In this embodiment, after determining the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel motion curve, the control point of the steering wheel motion sampling point within the steering wheel motion curve that looks ahead for a preset time is determined as the steering wheel forward target motion control point. By determining the steering wheel forward target motion control point, the steering wheel vibration caused by sampling error can be reduced. At the same time, it solves the problem that in the lateral control of automatic parking, the steering wheel is only controlled to reach the target position, but not the process, which lacks predictability.

[0058] Step S5: Control the steering wheel movement based on the steering wheel movement sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point.

[0059] In this embodiment, after determining the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, the deviation between the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point is calculated. Incremental PID (proportional, integral, derivative) closed-loop control is applied to the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point to generate actual control quantities and send them to the front wheel position controller. The front wheel controller controls the steering wheel motion according to the actual control quantities, reducing the arbitrariness of simple PID control and making the steering wheel motion smoother and faster.

[0060] According to the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of the present invention, when the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions, a higher-order curve, such as a fifth-order curve, is used to plan the current motion parameters of the steering wheel, such as speed and trajectory. That is, the steering wheel control is optimized and improved from multiple dimensions, which can ensure that the motion parameters and curvature are smooth and continuous during the control process, effectively suppress the problem of uneven steering wheel trajectory planning in the lateral control of vehicle parking, avoid overshoot when the steering wheel reaches the target point, improve the control effect of the steering wheel, thereby achieving smooth control of the steering wheel and improving the stability of vehicle parking.

[0061] In some embodiments, when planning the steering wheel motion curve based on the current motion parameters, the target motion parameters, and the higher-order curve, the current motion parameters and the target motion parameters are substituted into the higher-order curve for motion planning to obtain the steering wheel motion curve.

[0062] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel, the current motion parameters and target motion parameters are substituted into a higher-order curve for motion planning. For example, such as... Figure 2The diagram shown is a real-time planning diagram of the steering wheel motion curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. At time t1, the steering wheel is located at its current position 1 with a speed of steering wheel speed 1. At this time, the motion curve corresponding to the target position of the steering wheel is C0. After a time interval Δt, time t2 is reached. At time t2, the steering wheel is located at its current position 2 with a speed of steering wheel speed 2. Due to the lateral tracking process, the change of the target position will update the planning of a new motion curve in real time. For example, the target position of the steering wheel is updated to the new target position 1, and the corresponding motion curve is C1; or the target position of the steering wheel is updated to the new target position 2, and the corresponding motion curve is C2.

[0063] It should be noted that whether the vehicle is stationary and the steering wheel angle is adjusted, or the vehicle is in motion and the steering wheel angle is adjusted dynamically, such as... Figure 2 The three scenarios shown can all be used to plan a steering wheel motion curve that starts with the current position and speed of the steering wheel and ends with the target position and speed of the steering wheel.

[0064] In some embodiments, when determining the steering wheel motion sampling point based on the steering wheel motion curve, the steering wheel motion curve is discretized according to a preset sampling time to obtain a discrete sequence of motion curves; the current motion parameters are input into the discrete sequence of motion curves to determine the steering wheel motion sampling point.

[0065] In this embodiment, after determining the steering wheel motion curve, as follows: Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a method for discretizing the steering wheel motion curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. The steering wheel motion curve is discretized according to a preset sampling time, for example, Δt. The resulting discrete motion curve sequences are sampled and stored, including position sampling discrete sequences, velocity sampling discrete sequences, and acceleration discrete sampling sequences. Current motion parameters are input into the motion curve discrete sequences; that is, the current steering wheel position is input into the position sampling discrete sequence, the current steering wheel velocity is input into the velocity sampling discrete sequence, and the current steering wheel acceleration is input into the acceleration sampling discrete sequence to determine the corresponding steering wheel motion sampling points.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the current motion parameters are input into the discrete sequence of motion curves to determine the steering wheel motion sampling points, the sampling point closest to the current motion parameters is determined in the discrete sequence of motion curves, and the sampling point is used as the steering wheel motion sampling point.

[0067] In an embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the current position of the steering wheel is input into the position sampling discrete sequence, the current speed of the steering wheel is input into the speed sampling discrete sequence, and the current acceleration of the steering wheel is input into the acceleration sampling discrete sequence. Then, the sampling point closest to the current position of the steering wheel is determined in the position sampling discrete sequence and used as the steering wheel motion sampling point. The corresponding speed and acceleration values ​​are taken out from the speed and acceleration discrete sequences and used as the speed and acceleration steering wheel motion sampling points, respectively.

[0068] In some embodiments, when determining the forward target motion control point of the steering wheel based on the steering wheel motion sampling points and the steering wheel motion curve, the forward target motion control point of the steering wheel is determined based on the forward preset time of the steering wheel motion sampling points in the discrete sequence of the motion curve.

[0069] In an embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, after determining the steering wheel motion sampling point, the forward target position of the steering wheel is determined based on the target position of the sampling point closest to the current position of the steering wheel in the position sampling discrete sequence with a preset forward time; the corresponding velocity and acceleration values ​​are taken from the velocity and acceleration discrete sequences as the velocity and acceleration forward target positions of the steering wheel motion, respectively.

[0070] In some embodiments, when controlling the steering wheel movement based on the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are determined based on the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point; and the steering wheel movement is controlled based on the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed.

[0071] In this embodiment, after determining the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are determined based on the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point. The steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are then sent to the front wheel position controller, which controls the steering wheel motion based on the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed.

[0072] In some embodiments, when determining the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed based on the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, incremental closed-loop control is used on the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point to adjust the deviation between the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point. When the deviation is within a preset deviation range, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are determined based on the adjusted steering wheel motion sampling point.

[0073] In an embodiment, such as Figure 4The diagram shown illustrates a PID control scheme according to an embodiment of the present invention. After determining the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, the deviation between the two points is calculated. Incremental PID closed-loop control is applied to the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point to generate the actual steering wheel position or actual steering wheel speed. PID limiting ensures the existence of the deviation, and the PID control action gradually increases the output to adjust the deviation between the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point. When the deviation is within a preset deviation range, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are determined based on the adjusted steering wheel motion sampling point.

[0074] In some embodiments, before controlling the steering wheel movement based on the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are subjected to smoothing filtering.

[0075] In this embodiment, before controlling the steering wheel movement based on the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are smoothed by arithmetic mean filtering and first-order hysteresis filtering to suppress or even eliminate periodic or random interference signals. This makes the above method applicable to situations with high fluctuations and control frequencies, and can greatly improve the unsmoothness caused by positioning error jitter, thereby improving the smoothness of steering wheel control.

[0076] In some embodiments, when determining whether the current motion parameters and the target motion parameters meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions, the position difference between the current position of the steering wheel and the target position of the steering wheel is calculated; when the position difference exceeds the adjustment range of the current position of the steering wheel, it is determined that the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions are met.

[0077] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel, the position difference between the current position and the target position of the steering wheel is calculated. The relationship between the position difference and the adjustment range of the current position of the steering wheel is determined. When the position difference exceeds the adjustment range of the current position of the steering wheel, it is considered that the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions. Then, the steering wheel motion curve is planned according to the current motion parameters, target motion parameters, and higher-order curves. When the position difference is less than the adjustment range of the current position of the steering wheel, it is considered that the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel do not meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions. Then, the traditional PID control method is executed.

[0078] In some embodiments, before applying incremental closed-loop control to the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, it is determined whether the steering wheel forward target motion control point is smaller than the adjustment range of the current steering wheel position; if so, incremental closed-loop control is applied to the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point.

[0079] In this embodiment, before applying incremental closed-loop control to the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point, the relationship between the steering wheel forward target motion control point and the adjustment range of the steering wheel's current position is determined. If the steering wheel forward target motion control point is smaller than the adjustment range of the steering wheel's current position, then incremental closed-loop control is applied to the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point. If the steering wheel forward target motion control point is greater than or equal to the adjustment range of the steering wheel's current position, it is considered that the steering wheel will adjust and vibrate violently, and then the traditional PID control method is used to control the steering wheel motion.

[0080] The following is for reference. Figure 5 An example is given to illustrate the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of this invention.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of this embodiment of the invention includes at least steps S11-S24.

[0082] Step S11: Obtain the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel.

[0083] Step S12: Calculate the position difference between the current position of the steering wheel and the target position of the steering wheel.

[0084] Step S13: Determine whether the position difference exceeds the adjustment range of the current steering wheel position. If yes, proceed to step S15; otherwise, proceed to step S14.

[0085] Step S14: Determine that the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel do not meet the conditions for steering wheel motion curve planning.

[0086] Step S15: Determine whether the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel satisfy the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions.

[0087] Step S16: Input the current motion parameters and target motion parameters into the higher-order curve for motion planning to obtain the steering wheel motion curve.

[0088] Step S17: Discretize the steering wheel motion curve according to the preset sampling time to obtain a discrete sequence of motion curves.

[0089] Step S18: Determine the sampling point closest to the current motion parameter in the discrete sequence of motion curves, and use the sampling point as the steering wheel motion sampling point.

[0090] Step S19: Determine the forward target motion control point of the steering wheel based on the forward preset time of the steering wheel motion sampling points in the discrete sequence of motion curves.

[0091] Step S20: Determine whether the forward target motion control point of the steering wheel is smaller than the adjustment range of the current position of the steering wheel. If yes, proceed to step S22; otherwise, proceed to step S21.

[0092] Step S21: The traditional PID control method is used to control the steering wheel movement.

[0093] Step S22: Incremental closed-loop control is used for the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point to adjust the deviation between the steering wheel motion sampling point and the steering wheel forward target motion control point. When the deviation is within the preset deviation range, the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed are determined according to the adjusted steering wheel motion sampling point.

[0094] Step S23: Perform smoothing filtering on the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed.

[0095] Step S24: Control the steering wheel movement according to the steering wheel control angle and steering wheel control speed.

[0096] According to the vehicle steering wheel motion control method of the present invention, when the current motion parameters and target motion parameters of the steering wheel meet the steering wheel motion curve planning conditions, a higher-order curve, such as a fifth-order curve, is used to plan the current motion parameters of the steering wheel, such as speed and trajectory.
