[0008] The following are the implementation steps of the method of the present invention, including specific formulas and related sensors:

[0009] 1. Establish a six-degree-of-freedom model of the vehicle: First, according to the physical structure and kinematic characteristics of the electric civil aircraft tractor, establish a six-degree-of-freedom model of the vehicle, including positional degrees of freedom (x, y, z) and attitude degrees of freedom (roll, pitch, yaw). The model can be expressed by the following formula:

[0010] Position vector: P = [x, y, z]

[0011] Pose vector: Euler_angles = [roll, pitch, yaw]

[0012] 2. Construct a distributed supervisory controller and sensor layout: Based on the six-degree-of-freedom model of the vehicle, a distributed supervisory controller is constructed to monitor the status of each subsystem of the chassis. In addition, sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, position sensors, and direction sensors are arranged to collect chassis status information in real time, including: In the implementation of this patent, the steering failure emergency driving method of the four-wheel full-vector aircraft tractor can be implemented through the following specific steps:

[0013] Gyroscope: measures the rate of change of the vehicle's attitude and provides angular velocity information.

[0010] Accelerometer: Measures the acceleration of the vehicle and provides linear acceleration information.

[0014] Position sensor: measures the position change of the vehicle and provides position information.

[0015] Direction sensor: measures the vehicle's heading angle changes and provides heading information.

[0016] 3. Neural network controller updates constraints online: When the system faces large disturbances or performance degradation, the neural network controller intervenes and uses sensor information to update constraints online. Such a control strategy can adapt to complex and changing working environments. The update formula of the neural network controller is:

[0017] Constraint update: U(t+1)=NN(P(t),Euler_angles(t),sensor_data(t))

[0018] Where NN stands for deep neural network, P(t) and Euler_angles(t) are the position and attitude vectors at the current time t, and sensor_data(t) is the sensor measurement data.

[0019] 4. Transfer the marker signal combination to adjust the weight: After the constraint update output by the neural network controller is combined with the marker signal, it is transferred to the distributed supervisory controller for intelligent adjustment of the controller weight. Such an adjustment mechanism can optimize the response performance of the system while maintaining the stability of the controller. The weight adjustment formula is:

[0020] Weight adjustment: Weights = Weights + α * (U (t + 1) + Tag)

[0022] Among them, Weights is the weight of the controller, α is the learning rate, and Tag is the tag signal combination.

[0023] 5. Distributed supervisory controller adjusts actuator operating parameters: The distributed supervisory controller adjusts the actuator working parameters of each chassis subsystem in real time according to the updated weights, such as motor speed, steering gear angle, etc., to achieve full vector motion control of the chassis. The actuator working parameter adjustment formula is:

[0024] Actuator working parameter adjustment: Actuator_Params(t+1)=Actuator_Params(t)+β*Weights(t+1)

[0025] Among them, Actuator_Params(t) is the actuator operating parameter at the current time t, and β is the proportional coefficient of the adjustment parameter.

[0026] 6. Intervention and exit of neural network control: According to the vehicle status and external environment changes, the neural network controller intelligently intervenes and exits chassis control to ensure the stability and reliability of the system under different working conditions.

[0027] 7. Constraint solving is applied to the domain controller: Constraint solving is applied to the domain controller to ensure coordination between subsystems and global performance optimization, further improving the performance of the chassis control system. The constraint solving formula is:

[0028] Constraints solving: Constraints = Solve (Actuator_Params)

[0029] Among them, Constraints is the constraint condition of the subsystem actuator, and Solve is the solution function.
