Especially in environments with limited space, such as crowded parking lots, narrow rural roads, or jungle crossings, reducing the car's turning radius can not only significantly improve the convenience of turning and turning operations, but also improve driving safety and reduce the risk of collision with other vehicles or obstacles, thereby providing drivers with a smoother and more efficient driving experience.

[0003] In the related art, the turning control method controls one pair of diagonal wheels to rotate in opposite directions while controlling the other pair of diagonal wheels not to rotate, so as to reduce the turning radius of the car.

When implemented on medium and high adhesion ground, there is a problem that the wheels are difficult to rotate; and when the vehicle turns, the target torque of the drive motor corresponding to the inner wheel is the feedback torque and the target torque of the drive motor corresponding to the outer wheel is the drive torque, so that the turning function of turning around in place can be achieved without changing the turning structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0023] At present, there are different methods for steering control of automobiles for different models. In order to further reduce the turning radius of the vehicle and realize its application in more scenarios, the existing solutions for two-wheel drive vehicles and mechanical four-wheel drive vehicles mainly include 1) braking the inner rear wheel and 2) rear wheel follow-up steering.

[0024] For 1) braking the inner rear wheel, in an existing method, when the activation conditions of the assisted turning function are met, the vehicle is controlled to enter the activated state of the assisted turning function, and the hydraulic control unit is controlled to apply pressure to the inner rear wheel brake cylinder when the vehicle is turning, thereby reducing the turning radius of the vehicle to enable the vehicle to quickly turn and pass through a narrow space. In this solution, when the vehicle turns, the rotation axis of the yaw torque generated by the front and rear drive systems is outside the vehicle body, resulting in the vehicle's rotation radius still being greater than the distance between the inner rear wheel and the outer front wheel. This solution can reduce the turning radius to a certain extent, but its turning radius is still limited by the size of the vehicle and the characteristics of the steering system.

[0025] Regarding 2) rear wheel follow-up steering, the existing technology adds a follow-up steering mechanism to the rear wheel. When the front wheel steering is detected, the rear wheel follows and generates a turning angle in the opposite direction. However, the need to add a rear wheel steering mechanism will increase the cost, and the resulting turning radius reduction rate is equivalent to that of solution 1) braking the inner rear wheel.

[0026] For front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive vehicles, the turning radius can be reduced to a certain extent based on 1) braking the inner rear wheel and 2) rear wheel follow-up steering. The turning radius reduction performance is comparable to that of traditional two-wheel drive vehicles and mechanical four-wheel drive vehicles. However, since the drive motor has the advantage of being able to freely control the torque direction without relying on the transmission mechanism, this advantage can be used to control the front wheel to rotate forward and the inner rear wheel to reverse when turning, generating a yaw torque to reduce the turning radius. In an existing technical solution, one pair of diagonal wheels is controlled to rotate in opposite directions, while the other pair of diagonal wheels is controlled not to rotate, so as to reduce the turning radius of the car. This solution requires the ground adhesion of the unlocked diagonal wheels to overcome the ground friction of the locked diagonal wheels. When implemented on medium and high adhesion ground, there is a problem that the wheels are difficult to rotate.

[0027] And for front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive vehicles, in another steering scheme, when the vehicle is turning, the target torque of the drive motor corresponding to the inner wheel is the feedback torque and the target torque of the drive motor corresponding to the outer wheel is the drive torque, and the steering function of turning on the spot can be achieved without changing the steering structure. However, this scheme is only applicable to vehicles with independent drive motors configured for the two rear wheels, or vehicles with independent drive motors configured for both the two front wheels and the two rear wheels, and cannot be applied to vehicles with only one motor driving the front and rear axles respectively, which is the focus of the present invention.

[0028] Based on this, the inventor proposes a vehicle turning assist control method, device, vehicle and storage medium. In addition to being applied to front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive vehicles, the method can also be applied to other vehicles equipped with independent front and rear axle drive and a power system with a rear axle having reversing capability (such as front axle engine drive, rear axle motor drive; front axle left and right dual-motor wheel hub / wheel side drive, rear axle single motor drive; front axle single motor drive, rear axle dual motor drive; front axle left and right dual-motor wheel hub / wheel side drive, rear axle left and right dual-motor wheel hub / wheel side drive); the method realizes that the rotation center of the vehicle turning is close to the vehicle's center of mass, reducing the turning radius, improving the vehicle stability during turning, and can adapt to different road conditions.

[0029] The following is a further description of the vehicle turning assistance control method of the present application in conjunction with a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive vehicle. Figure 1 and Figure 2The front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive vehicle includes 1-front drive assembly, 2-rear drive assembly, 3-control system, 4-outer rear wheel, 5-outer front wheel, 6-inner front wheel, 7-inner rear wheel, 8-braking system, 9-vehicle speed adjustment device, 1-signal line: wherein, 1-front drive assembly can transmit power to 6-inner front wheel and 5-outer front wheel through the left and right half shafts of the front axle; 2-rear drive assembly can transmit power to 7-inner rear wheel and 4-outer rear wheel through the left and right half shafts of the rear axle; 3-control system communicates signals with 1-front drive assembly, 2-rear drive assembly, and 8-braking system through signal lines.

[0030] It should be noted that the following embodiments are based on a dual-motor four-wheel drive system with one motor on each front and rear axle, and the motor has the function of converting the torque direction independently of a mechanical transmission mechanism. When the vehicle turns, the outer rear wheel is locked, and at the same time, the front and rear motors apply opposite torques to cause the front wheel to rotate forward and the inner rear wheel to reverse, thereby generating a yaw moment that is beneficial to the rotation of the vehicle. This effectively increases the turning radius of the vehicle without increasing the system cost.

[0031] See also Figures 2 to 4 This embodiment provides a vehicle turning assistance control method, including: Step S10: in response to a start instruction of the turning assist mode, obtaining first state information of the vehicle at first intervals; In this step, it can be understood that the turning assist mode can be controlled by the in-vehicle entertainment system or by physical buttons, or the start of the turning assist mode can be automatically controlled by intelligent driving. It can be selectively set according to actual needs. Taking physical buttons for switch control as an example, the user turns on the turning assist mode by selecting the switch. After receiving the start command, it responds to the turning assist mode and collects the first state information of the current vehicle.

[0032] It should be noted that the first time can be 0.01ms, 0.1ms or 1ms. The specific time interval of the first time can be selectively set according to actual needs. Of course, for some sensors, the frequency of collecting information has been set at the factory, which will not be repeated here. The first state information includes the current steering wheel angle, vehicle body state and gear information, among which the current steering wheel angle information can be collected by the angle sensor. The vehicle body state in this embodiment is mainly a moving state and a stationary state. The gear information can be divided into forward gear and other gear states. The vehicle body state can be judged by the information collected by the speed sensor. The gear information can be directly read through the central control system of the vehicle. The first state information is used as a control condition for activating the turning assist mode.

[0033] Step S20: determining whether to activate the turning assist mode based on the first state information; In this step, after the turning assist mode is started, it is also necessary to determine whether to activate the turning assist mode. For example, if the first state information collected by the vehicle satisfies all the same conditions: the current steering wheel angle is greater than or equal to a preset turning angle threshold, the vehicle body is in a stationary state, and the gear information is in the forward gear, then the turning assist mode is activated; it should be noted that the preset turning angle threshold can be 540°-720°. Preferably, the steering wheel is turned to the stop. It can be set according to actual needs. Only when the turning assist mode is activated will the subsequent control steps be entered. When the first state information does not meet the above conditions at the same time, the vehicle will continue to collect corresponding information.

[0034] It can be understood that the activation of the turning assist mode in this step can be preferably used for the vehicle to turn forward at a large angle starting from a stationary state.

[0035] Step S30: if activated, generating control information to control the brake to lock the outer rear wheel, and obtaining target turning speed information and steering wheel angle information; In this step, when the turn assist mode is activated, control information is first generated to control the brake to lock the outer rear wheel. It can be understood that the corresponding control information can be generated by the ECU and transmitted to the brake of the outer rear wheel to achieve the braking and locking of the outer rear wheel. The ECU (the central controller of the car, also known as the electronic control unit) is the core component of the vehicle's electronic system, responsible for managing and coordinating various functions, such as engine control, body stability, safety system, etc. It collects data through sensors and processes information in real time. The specific information processing and transmission implementation principles are not elaborated here.

[0036] In one example, combining Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, for the acquisition of target turning speed information and steering wheel angle information, after the system corresponding to the turning assist mode detects that the user has released the brake pedal, the user can control the turning target speed through the speed regulating device; the speed regulating device can be an accelerator pedal or a manual speed regulating device, which is selectively set according to the relevant components of the actual vehicle. Taking the accelerator pedal as an example, the current accelerator pedal opening of the vehicle can be obtained, and the target turning speed information is determined based on the accelerator pedal opening. The determination process can be performed by looking up a preset mapping table to obtain the target turning speed information after collecting the accelerator pedal opening.

[0037] After the target turning speed information is obtained, the front wheel target speed, rear wheel target speed and vehicle body target yaw rate can be obtained in combination with the steering wheel angle information. It should be noted that the front wheel target speed, rear wheel target speed and vehicle body target yaw rate are obtained based on the target turning speed information and the steering wheel angle information. The specific calculation process includes: The calculation expression of the target turning speed is: v_drvReq=MAP1(k_Acc); The calculation expression of the front wheel target speed is: nf_tagt= f(v_drvReq, θ); The calculation expression of the rear wheel target speed is: nr_tagt=f(v_drvReq, θ); The calculation expression of the vehicle body target yaw angular velocity is: δ_drvReq =MAP2(v_drvReq, θ); Where v_drvReq is the target turning speed, k_Acc is the current accelerator pedal opening of the vehicle, and θ is the steering wheel angle.

[0038] In the existing large-angle turning control method, for example, when a large-angle U-turn is required, since the driving force direction of the original vehicle is not changed, the inner rear wheel is only braked to prevent it from rotating. The vehicle steering center is closer to the inner rear wheel than the Ackerman steering center of the original vehicle. Since no vertical yaw moment around the center of mass of the vehicle body is formed, the steering center of the vehicle is still outside the vehicle body, and the turning radius reduction performance is limited. At the same time, the problem of vehicle stability not being guaranteed if accelerated during large-angle turns is not solved. Therefore, the speed cannot be controlled during the turning process, that is, the driver cannot accelerate when turning, and can only rely on the preset speed of the vehicle to make a U-turn. In this step, the speed of the U-turn can be controlled by the accelerator pedal or the manual speed adjustment device during the vehicle turning process, thereby increasing the driver's control over the vehicle.

[0039] Step S40: determining target torque information of the front and rear axles of the vehicle based on the target turning speed information and the steering wheel angle information; In this step, in order to achieve accurate control of the wheel speed, the target torque information of the front and rear axles of the vehicle is determined based on the target turning speed information and the steering wheel angle information, including determining the front axle target torque information and the rear axle target torque information according to the front wheel target speed and the rear wheel target speed, respectively, wherein: The calculation expression of the front axle target torque is: Tf_req1= PID1(nf_tagt, (n_fi+n_fo) / 2); The calculation expression of the rear axle target torque is: Tr_req2 = PID2 (nr_tagt, n_ri / 2); Where nf_tagt is the target wheel speed of the front wheel, nr_tagt is the target wheel speed of the rear wheel, (n_fi+n_fo) / 2 is the average value of the input variables, and n_ri / 2 is half of the input variables.

[0040] It can be understood that the target turning speed information and steering wheel angle information are calculated and converted into control information of the front axle target torque and the rear axle target torque in the vehicle's central control processor through the above expressions. Of course, it can be understood that the target turning speed, front wheel target speed, rear wheel target speed and vehicle body target yaw angular velocity can be processed by setting up multiple PID modules.

[0041] Step S50: After correcting the front and rear axle target torque information, the information is fed back to the front and rear electric drive assemblies of the vehicle to implement vehicle turning assist control; In this step, before correcting the target torque information of the front and rear axles, the actual center-of-mass speed is obtained, and the center-of-mass speed correction coefficient is determined based on the current actual center-of-mass speed and the target turning speed; Acquiring a current yaw rate of the vehicle, and determining a yaw moment correction torque based on the current yaw rate and a target yaw rate of the vehicle body; Based on the yaw moment correction torque and the center of mass speed correction coefficient, the front and rear axle target torque information is corrected to obtain the front and rear electric drive assembly request torque, wherein: The calculation expression of the center of mass speed correction coefficient is: K_Vspd = PID3 (v_drvReq, v_act); The calculation expression of the front axle target torque correction is: Tf_ad1_req = Tf_req*K_Vspd; The calculation expression of the rear axle target torque correction is: Tr_ad1_req = Tr_req*K_Vspd; The calculation expression of the yaw moment correction torque is: ΔT=MAP3(δ_drvReq, δ); The calculation expression of the front electric drive assembly request torque is: Tf_ad2_req= Tf_ad1_req-ΔT; The calculation expression of the rear electric drive assembly request torque is: Tf_ad2_req=Tf_ad2_req-ΔT; Where K_Vspd is the correction coefficient of the vehicle speed at the center of mass, δ_drvReq is the target yaw rate of the vehicle body, δ is the current yaw rate of the vehicle body, ΔT is the yaw moment correction torque, and Tf_req1 and Tf_req2 are the target torques of the front and rear axles.

[0042] It should be noted that, during the correction process, the longitudinal vehicle speed Vy, the lateral vehicle speed Vx, the yaw angular velocity δ, and the actual wheel speed signals of each wheel can also be obtained through sensors: the inner front wheel speed n_fi, the outer front wheel speed n_fo, the inner rear wheel speed n_ri, and the outer rear wheel speed n_ro. Based on the actual outer front wheel speed n_fo and the actual inner rear wheel speed n_ri, the outer front wheel target speed, the inner front wheel target speed and the inner rear wheel target speed are corrected to achieve control accuracy, thereby ensuring that the radius of the vehicle is minimized when turning at a large angle.

[0043] It should also be noted that for the target maximum yaw rate, the corresponding mapping table can be checked by obtaining the actual vehicle speed of the center of mass to obtain the target maximum yaw rate, and the yaw correction torque can be obtained by checking the corresponding mapping table in combination with the target maximum yaw rate and the ESP yaw rate.

[0044] Step S60: When the vehicle executes the turning assist control strategy, second state information of the vehicle is obtained at second intervals, and whether to exit the turning assist mode is determined based on the second state information.

[0045] In this step, the second state information includes the actual steering wheel angle, brake pedal status, gear information and current vehicle speed information. If the vehicle meets any of the following conditions: the actual steering wheel angle is less than the preset angle threshold, the brake pedal status is in the pressed state, the gear information is switched to non-D gear or the current vehicle speed information is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold, then the turning assist mode is exited.

[0046] It is understandable that the second time can be 0.01ms, 0.1ms or 1ms. When the second state information of the vehicle is obtained on the premise that the vehicle has executed the turning assist control strategy, the preset turning angle threshold can be 540°-720°, which can be selectively set according to actual needs. The brake pedal is in the depressed state, that is, the driver performs braking control. The preset vehicle speed threshold can be 10km / h, 20 km / h or 50km / h, which can be selectively set according to actual needs. As long as any one of the conditions is met, the central control system of the vehicle generates control information to exit the turning assist mode. It should be noted that in the turning assist control method steps of the vehicle of the present embodiment, when the turning assist mode is activated, the system controls the brake to lock the outer rear wheel, and the front drive motor is controlled to rotate forward and the rear drive motor is controlled to rotate reversely during the turning process. At the same time, the driver can adjust the speed, and after converting the target vehicle speed information into target torque control information, the target torque of the front and rear axles is corrected in combination with the actual vehicle body yaw angular velocity and the target yaw angular velocity, so that the rotation center of the vehicle turning is close to the vehicle's center of mass, the turning radius is reduced, the vehicle stability is better during the turning process, and it can adapt to different road conditions.

[0047] At the same time, by utilizing a dual-motor four-wheel drive system with a motor on each front and rear axle, and the motor has the characteristic of being able to achieve torque direction conversion without relying on a mechanical transmission mechanism, the outer rear wheel is locked when the vehicle turns, and at the same time the front and rear motors apply opposite torques to make the front wheel rotate forward and the inner rear wheel reverse, generating a yaw moment that is beneficial to the rotation of the vehicle. This effectively increases the turning radius of the vehicle without increasing the system cost. During the turning process, the vehicle's turning speed can be controlled by the accelerator pedal or the manual speed adjustment device, thereby increasing the driver's confidence in vehicle control.

[0048] In addition, when controlling the torque of the front and rear motors, the target speeds of the front and rear axles are calculated based on the steering wheel angle and the target vehicle speed. The target vehicle speed and yaw rate are used as control targets to dynamically adjust the torque of the front and rear axle drive motors to achieve stable vehicle speed and yaw rate when the vehicle turns, while avoiding the risk of vehicle instability caused by excessive yaw rate.

After converting the target vehicle speed information into target torque control information, the target torque of the front and rear axles is corrected in combination with the actual vehicle body yaw angular velocity and the target yaw angular velocity, so that the rotation center of the vehicle turning is close to the vehicle's center of mass, the turning radius is reduced, the vehicle stability is better during the turning process, and it can adapt to different road conditions.

[0051] The dual-motor four-wheel drive system has a motor on each front and rear axle, and the motor has the characteristic of being able to achieve torque direction conversion without relying on a mechanical transmission mechanism. When the vehicle turns, the outer rear wheel is locked, and at the same time, the front and rear motors apply opposite torques to make the front wheel rotate forward and the inner rear wheel reverse, generating a yaw moment that is beneficial to the rotation of the vehicle.

For example, the memory may be a hard drive or other storage medium that is located in a housing different from the computer. Therefore, references to processors or computers will be understood to include references to a collection of processors or computers or memories that may or may not operate in parallel. Different from using a single processor to perform the steps described herein, some components such as a turning component and a deceleration component may each have their own processor that only performs calculations related to the functions specific to the component.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor 651 can execute the steps of the vehicle turning assist control method in the above embodiment.

[0082] In various aspects described herein, processor 651 may be located remote from the vehicle and in wireless communication with the vehicle.

Optionally, each identified object depends on the behavior of each other, so all the identified objects can also be considered together to predict the behavior of a single identified object. The vehicle 600 can adjust its speed based on the predicted behavior of the identified object. In other words, the autonomous vehicle can determine what stable state the vehicle will need to adjust to (e.g., accelerate, decelerate, or stop) based on the predicted behavior of the object. In this process, other factors can also be considered to determine the speed of the vehicle 600, such as the lateral position of the vehicle 600 in the road on which it is traveling, the curvature of the road, the proximity of static and dynamic objects, and the like.

[0089] In addition to providing instructions to adjust the speed of the autonomous vehicle, the computing device may also provide instructions to modify the turning angles of vehicle 600 so that the autonomous vehicle follows a given trajectory and / or maintains safe lateral and longitudinal distances from objects near the autonomous vehicle (e.g., vehicles in adjacent lanes on the road).
