Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive technology, specifically a control method, device, equipment, and storage medium for a steer-by-wire system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of automotive technology and increasingly higher levels of intelligence, steer-by-wire systems have eliminated the mechanical connection between the steering column and steering gear, completely decoupling chassis lateral control from spatial layout constraints. This enables functions such as dynamic variable gear ratios and silent steering, supporting advanced autonomous driving capabilities and enriching the driving experience. It represents an inevitable trend in the future development of intelligent steering systems. Furthermore, because steer-by-wire systems are free from the constraints of mechanical connections, they save space in the vehicle's layout and usage, achieving overall vehicle weight reduction. A steer-by-wire system consists of a road feel simulator and a steering actuator, which interact electronically. In "human control" mode, the driver manipulates the road feel simulator, and the steering actuator completes the specified steering command based on relevant input information. In "autonomous driving" mode, the steer-by-wire system is controlled by the autonomous driving controller or vehicle controller, and the road feel simulator remains stationary, allowing the driver to free their hands for other tasks in "vehicle control" mode. When a vehicle switches from autonomous driving mode to driver-controlled mode, the road feel simulator is stationary in autonomous driving mode, while the steering actuator may be in a steering state under vehicle control. This results in a desynchronization between the road feel simulator and the driver. When the driver needs to control the vehicle, the road feel simulator and the steering actuator must maintain a synchronized angle. Otherwise, in human-controlled mode, the vehicle will not follow the driver's intentions, potentially causing a safety accident. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a control method, device, equipment, and storage medium for a steer-by-wire system. By employing a control strategy that allows the driver to take over control from "vehicle control" to "human control" during the driving process of a vehicle equipped with a steer-by-wire system, the steer-by-wire system can complete and verify the angle synchronization operation, thus avoiding safety issues when the driver takes over.

[0004] The technical solution of this invention is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a control method for a steer-by-wire system, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: After receiving the driver takeover request enable signal, simultaneously check the vehicle controller signal, the automatic driving controller signal, the road feel simulator status signal, and the steering actuator status signal to ensure that the relevant systems are all in normal working and controllable condition.

[0007] Step 2: Determine vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed exceeds the preset target threshold range, request the vehicle controller or autonomous driving controller to reduce the vehicle speed to the threshold range.

[0008] Step 3: Assuming the takeover request is in a normal state, compare the steering angle information from the steering actuator and the road feel simulator, and calculate the difference and sign between them;

[0009] Step 4: Calculate the target turning angle and rotational speed to be executed by the road feel simulator;

[0010] Step 5: Determine the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target turning angle, and engine speed. Once the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target turning angle, and engine speed all meet the required thresholds, transmit a signal indicating that the requirements have been met.

[0011] Step 6: Control the motor of the road feel simulator;

[0012] Step 7: Execute the corresponding target value requirements to complete the synchronization operation between the road feel simulator and the steering actuator;

[0013] Step 8: After the synchronization operation of the steer-by-wire road feel simulator and steering actuator is completed during driving, the synchronization status is sent to the instrument panel and the driver is reminded that he can take over the vehicle. At this time, the vehicle is still in the "vehicle control" state, and the road feel simulator and steering actuator remain synchronized and follow each other. At this time, the driver can take over the vehicle, and the automatic driving control part of the steering system slowly withdraws.

[0014] Step 9: Based on the real-time feedback of the steering angle, torque, and speed signals from the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, perform a synchronization status check after takeover. After confirming that there are no abnormalities in the output signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, send the status bit after the judgment is completed to the instrument. The instrument displays the information that the takeover was successfully completed.

[0015] Furthermore, in step three, the comparison of the steering actuator and the road feel simulator's steering angle information includes the steering angle, steering direction, rotation speed, rotation speed direction, the status of the steering angle, and the status of the rotation speed.

[0016] Furthermore, in step four, the target turning angle to be executed by the road feel simulator is calculated using the following formula:

[0017]

[0018] In the formula, θ 执行 θ represents the current steering angle of the steering actuator. 路感 This is for turning on the road feel simulator.

[0019] Furthermore, in step four, the rotational speed to be executed by the road feel simulator is calculated using the following formula:

[0020]

[0021] In the formula, K ω ω is the calibrable gain value; V is the vehicle speed; 路感 For the road feel simulator speed; ω 执行 The rotational speed of the steering actuator.

[0022] Furthermore, in step seven, the target values ​​refer to the target angle and the target rotation speed.

[0023] Furthermore, in step nine, the synchronization check involves comparing the angle and speed values ​​of the road feel simulator with those of the steering actuator. If the difference is within a defined threshold range, the two are considered synchronized.

[0024] The strategy principle is as follows:

[0025] |θ 路感 -θ 执行 |≤threshold 1;

[0026] |ω 路感 -ω 执行 |≤threshold2.

[0027] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a steer-by-wire system control device, comprising:

[0028] The steer-by-wire system status monitoring module is used to receive the driver takeover request enable signal and simultaneously judge the vehicle controller signal, the automatic driving controller signal, the road feel simulator status signal and the steering actuator status signal to ensure that the relevant systems are in a normal working and controllable state.

[0029] The vehicle speed determination module is used to determine the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed exceeds the preset target threshold range, it requests the vehicle controller or autonomous driving controller to reduce the vehicle speed to the threshold range.

[0030] The comparison module is used to compare the steering angle information of the steering actuator and the road feel simulator, and calculate the difference and sign between them, provided that the takeover request is in a normal state.

[0031] The calculation module is used to calculate the target turning angle and rotational speed to be performed by the road feel simulator;

[0032] The corner target judgment module is used to judge the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target corner angle and speed. When the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target corner angle and speed all meet the required threshold, a signal that the requirements are met is transmitted.

[0033] The cornering synchronization control module is used to control the motor of the road feel simulator;

[0034] The road feel simulator motor drive control module is used to execute the corresponding target value requirements and complete the synchronous operation of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator;

[0035] The synchronization completion judgment module is used to send the synchronization completion status to the instrument panel and remind the driver that the vehicle can be taken over after the synchronization operation of the steer-by-wire road feel simulator and steering actuator is completed during driving. At this time, the vehicle is still in the "vehicle control" state, and the road feel simulator and steering actuator remain synchronized and follow each other. At this time, the driver can take over the vehicle, and the control part of the automatic driving system on the steering system slowly withdraws.

[0036] The synchronization verification module is used to verify the synchronization status after takeover based on the real-time feedback signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator. After confirming that there are no abnormalities in the output signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, the status bit of the completed judgment is sent to the instrument, and the instrument displays the information that the takeover was successfully completed.

[0037] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement a steer-by-wire system control method as described in any of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements a steer-by-wire system control method as described in any of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0040] 1) This invention designs a control strategy for when the driver takes over in autonomous driving mode, so that the vehicle control can be smoothly switched from "vehicle control" to "human control" mode, ensuring stable performance and safety during the state switching process.

[0041] 2) This invention designs a control strategy for vehicles equipped with a steer-by-wire system, allowing the driver to take over from "vehicle control" to "human control" during driving. This enables the steer-by-wire system to complete synchronous operation and verification of the steering angle, thus avoiding safety issues when the driver takes over. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a steer-by-wire system control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the control of steer-by-wire systems. The method can be executed by a steer-by-wire system control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. This device can be implemented in software and / or hardware, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: After receiving the driver takeover request enable signal, simultaneously check the vehicle controller signal, the automatic driving controller signal, the road feel simulator status signal, and the steering actuator status signal to ensure that the relevant systems are all in normal working and controllable condition.

[0052] Step 2: Determine vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed exceeds the preset target threshold range, request the vehicle controller or autonomous driving controller to reduce the vehicle speed to the threshold range.

[0053] Step 3: Assuming the takeover request is in a normal state, compare the steering angle information from the steering actuator and the road feel simulator, and calculate the difference and sign between them;

[0054] The purpose of comparing the steering angle information of the steering actuator and the road feel simulator, including the steering angle, steering direction, speed, speed direction, steering angle status bit, and speed status bit, is to confirm that the signal status of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator is normal.

[0055] Since the direction of the turn can be positive or negative, it is generally defined as positive on the left and negative on the right. The "sign" refers to the positive or negative of the turn. This is used to determine whether the turn position of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator is in a "left turn" or "right turn" state.

[0056] Step 4: Calculate the target turning angle and rotational speed to be executed by the road feel simulator;

[0057] The target turning angle to be executed by the road feel simulator is calculated using the following formula:

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, θ 执行 θ represents the current steering angle of the steering actuator. 路感 This is for turning on the road feel simulator.

[0060] The rotational speed to be executed by the road feel simulator is calculated using the following formula:

[0061]

[0062] In the formula, K ω ω is the calibrable gain value; V is the vehicle speed; 路感 For the road feel simulator speed; ω 执行 The rotational speed of the steering actuator.

[0063] Step 5: Determine the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target turning angle, and engine speed. Once the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target turning angle, and engine speed all meet the required thresholds, transmit a signal indicating that the requirements have been met.

[0064] Step 6: Control the motor of the road feel simulator;

[0065] Step 7: Execute the corresponding target value requirements to complete the synchronization operation between the road feel simulator and the steering actuator;

[0066] The target values ​​refer to the target steering angle and target rotational speed. During steering angle synchronization, the road feel simulator needs to track the steering actuator's steering angle and angular velocity states. Synchronization is then completed according to the target rotational speed and steering angle.

[0067] Step 8: After the synchronization operation of the steer-by-wire road feel simulator and steering actuator is completed during driving, the synchronization status is sent to the instrument panel and the driver is reminded that he can take over the vehicle. At this time, the vehicle is still in the "vehicle control" state, and the road feel simulator and steering actuator remain synchronized and follow each other. At this time, the driver can take over the vehicle, and the automatic driving control part of the steering system slowly withdraws.

[0068] Step 9: Based on the real-time feedback of the steering angle, torque, and speed signals from the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, perform a synchronization status check after takeover. After confirming that there are no abnormalities in the output signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, send the status bit after the judgment is completed to the instrument. The instrument displays the information that the takeover was successfully completed.

[0069] Synchronization verification involves comparing the steering angle and speed values ​​of the road feel simulator with those of the steering actuator. If the difference is within a defined threshold range, the two are considered synchronized. The strategy principle is as follows:

[0070] |θ 路感 -θ 执行 |≤threshold 1;

[0071] |ω 路感 -ω 执行 |≤threshold2.

[0072] In summary, this invention designs a control strategy for when the driver takes over in autonomous driving mode, enabling a smooth transition of vehicle control from "vehicle control" to "human control" mode, ensuring stable performance and safety during the state transition process.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] Figure 3 A steer-by-wire system control device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention includes:

[0075] The steer-by-wire system status monitoring module is used to receive the driver takeover request enable signal and simultaneously judge the vehicle controller signal, the automatic driving controller signal, the road feel simulator status signal and the steering actuator status signal to ensure that the relevant systems are in a normal working and controllable state.

[0076] The vehicle speed determination module is used to determine the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed exceeds the preset target threshold range, it requests the vehicle controller or autonomous driving controller to reduce the vehicle speed to the threshold range.

[0077] The comparison module is used to compare the steering angle information of the steering actuator and the road feel simulator, and calculate the difference and sign between them, provided that the takeover request is in a normal state.

[0078] The calculation module is used to calculate the target turning angle and rotational speed to be performed by the road feel simulator;

[0079] The corner target judgment module is used to judge the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target corner angle and speed. When the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target corner angle and speed all meet the required threshold, a signal that the requirements are met is transmitted.

[0080] The cornering synchronization control module is used to control the motor of the road feel simulator;

[0081] The road feel simulator motor drive control module is used to execute the corresponding target value requirements and complete the synchronous operation of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator;

[0082] The synchronization completion judgment module is used to send the synchronization completion status to the instrument panel and remind the driver that the vehicle can be taken over after the synchronization operation of the steer-by-wire road feel simulator and steering actuator is completed during driving. At this time, the vehicle is still in the "vehicle control" state, and the road feel simulator and steering actuator remain synchronized and follow each other. At this time, the driver can take over the vehicle, and the control part of the automatic driving system on the steering system slowly withdraws.

[0083] The synchronization verification module is used to verify the synchronization status after takeover based on the real-time feedback signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator. After confirming that there are no abnormalities in the output signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, the status bit of the completed judgment is sent to the instrument, and the instrument displays the information that the takeover was successfully completed.

When the vehicle speed exceeds the preset target threshold range, it requests the vehicle controller or autonomous driving controller to reduce the vehicle speed to the threshold range. The comparison module is used to compare the steering angle information of the steering actuator and the road feel simulator, and calculate the difference and sign between them, provided that the takeover request is in a normal state. The calculation module is used to calculate the target turning angle and rotational speed to be performed by the road feel simulator; The corner target judgment module is used to judge the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target corner angle and speed. When the target values ​​of vehicle speed, target corner angle and speed all meet the required threshold, a signal that the requirements are met is transmitted. The cornering synchronization control module is used to control the motor of the road feel simulator; The road feel simulator motor drive control module is used to execute the corresponding target value requirements and complete the synchronous operation of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator; The synchronization completion judgment module is used to send the synchronization completion status bit to the instrument and remind the driver that the vehicle can be taken over after the synchronization operation of the steer-by-wire road feel simulator and steering actuator is completed during driving. At this time, the vehicle is still in the "vehicle control" state, and the road feel simulator and steering actuator remain synchronized and follow each other. At this point, the driver is able to take over the vehicle, and the automatic driving system slowly disengages from the steering system. The synchronization verification module is used to verify the synchronization status after takeover based on the real-time feedback signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator. After confirming that there are no abnormalities in the output signals of the road feel simulator and the steering actuator, the status bit of the completed judgment is sent to the instrument, and the instrument displays the information that the takeover was successfully completed.
