Description

[0002] Currently, vehicles applying automatic driving technology are mostly small passenger cars, and as an important part of vehicle driving, the steering technology is mainly applied to small cars at the present stage. Since the steering technology of small cars is generally front axle steering, vehicles applying front axle automatic steering technology only need to calculate the steering angle and vehicle speed when the front axle is steered according to road condition information, so as to control steering and throttle by the vehicle-mounted controller, without the need for steering mode selection. Many large vehicles, such as engineering machinery vehicles, cannot meet the driving requirements due to the large size of the vehicle shape, and therefore such vehicles not only have front axle steering function, but also have rear axle steering, full axle steering, crabbing and other multi-axle steering modes. However, the steering mode selection of large vehicles usually depends on the judgment of the driver, which requires high experience of the driver and is prone to mode selection errors due to judgment errors. How to improve the automatic steering capability of large vehicles has become a widely concerned problem. SUMMARY

[0045] Figure 1 The flowchart of the turning control method of the engineering equipment according to the embodiments of the present application is schematically shown. As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a turning control method of engineering equipment, which can include the following steps:

[0046] Step 100, acquiring the size information of the engineering equipment, the road information of the road where the engineering equipment is located, and the maximum steering angle of each axle of the engineering equipment in each turning mode, wherein the turning mode includes front axle steering mode, rear axle steering mode and full axle steering mode;

[0047] It should be noted that the turning control method for engineering equipment in this embodiment can be applied to engineering equipment with new energy architecture and / or fuel architecture. Since engineering equipment is typically large, it includes multiple turning modes to meet its driving and operational needs. For example, front axle steering mode, rear axle steering mode, and full axle steering mode; in some embodiments, it may also include crab steering mode. When engineering equipment turns, relying solely on the driver's judgment to select the turning mode is prone to errors, affecting operational efficiency and even causing safety issues. This embodiment proposes a turning control method for engineering equipment to improve its automated steering capabilities.

[0048] Specifically, key information is first obtained to provide effective data for subsequent selection of steering modes. This key information includes the dimensions of the engineering equipment, the road information of the road where the equipment is located, and the maximum steering angle of each axle of the equipment under each turning mode. The dimensions of the engineering equipment include its length, width, height, wheelbase, and steering range; this information is crucial for determining the space required for the equipment to turn and the limitations it may encounter. The road information includes information about the road itself and related road information. Road information includes lane markings, width, curvature, and turning radius; related road information includes information about obstacles on the road, whether the road is permitted to travel, map information about the road, and the current position and heading of the engineering equipment on that road. Road information is a vital basis for assessing whether the equipment can turn safely.

[0049] The maximum steering angle of an axle refers to the deflection angle formed when the axle turns to its extreme left or right position. This is a crucial parameter of the steering system of engineering equipment, directly affecting its steering performance. Engineering equipment has various turning modes, including front axle steering, rear axle steering, and full axle steering. The axle's steering capability differs in each mode, directly determining the turning flexibility of the equipment. It's understandable that the dimensions of the engineering equipment and the maximum steering angles of each axle in each turning mode are parameters determined at the factory based on the equipment's model. Road information about the road surface where the engineering equipment is located can be obtained through onboard sensors, cameras, and other devices.

[0050] Step 200: Determine the minimum turning radius of the engineering equipment in each turning mode based on the size information and each maximum steering angle;

[0051] The minimum turning radius refers to the shortest distance from the turning center to the contact point of the front outer turning wheel with the ground when the steering wheel is turned to the limit position, reflecting the ability of the engineering equipment to bend the road with the minimum curvature radius and the ability to drive in reverse on narrow road surfaces. The maximum steering angle of the axle will affect the minimum turning radius of the engineering equipment. According to the calculation formula of the turning radius R = L / (2 x sin(5)), where R represents the turning radius, L represents the wheelbase, and 5 represents the maximum steering angle, it can be seen that when the wheelbase L is constant, the larger the maximum steering angle 5, the smaller the turning radius R. The minimum turning radius of the engineering equipment is not only related to the maximum steering angle of the axle, but also related to the wheelbase, tire size, road conditions, and the maximum load and speed of the vehicle. The longer the wheelbase, the larger the turning radius. Changes in tire size will also affect the contact area and friction of the vehicle, thereby affecting the turning radius. Different road conditions will also affect the turning radius of the vehicle. Therefore, by the size information of the engineering equipment and the maximum steering angle of each axle, the minimum turning radius required by the engineering equipment under each turning mode can be calculated. The basis for determining whether the engineering equipment can safely turn on a specific road when calculating the minimum turning radius under each turning mode.

[0052] In step 300, the road allowed turning radius and the corresponding curve path are determined based on the road information.

[0053] In step 400, the target turning mode is determined based on the road allowed turning radius and all the minimum turning radii.

[0054] In step 500, the engineering equipment is controlled to turn based on the target turning mode and the curve path.

[0055] It should be noted that by analyzing the road information, the road allowed turning radius, i.e., the maximum or minimum turning radius allowed by the road conditions, can be determined. At the same time, the curve path that the engineering equipment should follow when turning can also be planned to ensure the smoothness and safety of the turning process. By comparing the road allowed turning radius with all the minimum turning radii, the target turning mode that can both meet the road conditions and maximize the steering performance of the equipment is selected from all the turning modes. After determining the target turning mode and the curve path, the corresponding control system is used to guide the engineering equipment to perform the turning operation. The control system of the engineering equipment can accurately and timely respond to the instructions to ensure the stability and safety of the engineering equipment during the turning process.

[0056] Specifically, in one embodiment, the engineering equipment is controlled to turn based on the target turning mode and the curve path, including:

[0057] The target steering angle of each axle of the engineering equipment under the target turning mode is calculated based on the curve path;

[0058] The engineering equipment is controlled to turn based on the target steering angles of the vehicle axles.

[0059] It should be noted that the target steering angle is determined by analyzing the curved path in detail to obtain the curvature, length, direction change, etc. of the curved path, which is the basis for calculating the target steering angle. According to the analysis result of the curved path, the key parameters in the turning process, such as the turning radius and the turning angle, are determined, so that the target steering angles of the vehicle axles of the engineering equipment in the turning process can be calculated based on the target turning mode and these turning parameters, using the steering mathematical model or empirical formula of the engineering equipment. The determined target steering angles are converted into specific steering instructions and sent to the steering control system of the engineering equipment, so that the steering control system can control the steering mechanism of each vehicle axle to perform corresponding steering operation after receiving the steering instructions, so that the engineering equipment can turn along the predetermined curved path. In an embodiment, the steering state and position information of the engineering equipment can also be monitored in real time during the turning process to ensure that the equipment can accurately travel along the curved path. If it is found that the actual steering angle deviates from the target steering angle or the equipment position deviates from the predetermined path, timely adjustment is needed to ensure the smoothness and safety of the turning process. Through accurate and efficient control of the turning of the engineering equipment, the adaptability of the engineering equipment to the complex road turning process is improved, and the operability and safety of the engineering equipment are improved.

[0060] In this embodiment, the size information of the engineering equipment, the road information of the road where the engineering equipment is located, and the maximum steering angles of the vehicle axles of the engineering equipment under each turning mode are obtained, wherein the turning mode includes front axle steering mode, rear axle steering mode and full axle steering mode. The reference data with real-time and accuracy is provided for subsequent turning control of the engineering equipment. Based on the size information and the maximum steering angles, the minimum turning radii of the engineering equipment under each turning mode are determined; based on the road information, the road allowed turning radius and the corresponding curved path are determined; based on the road allowed turning radius and all the minimum turning radii, the target turning mode is determined; based on the target turning mode and the curved path, the engineering equipment is controlled to turn. The automation control of the turning process is realized, the frequency of manual intervention and manual operation is reduced, the intelligent level of the equipment is improved, and the operation performance and safety of the engineering equipment are improved, and the operation difficulty and cost are reduced.

[0061] In an embodiment, the road information includes identified road information or non-identified road information, and the road allowed turning radius and the corresponding curved path are determined based on the road information, including:

[0062] In a case where the road information is identified road information, the identified road information is used to determine a road allowable turning radius and a corresponding turning path, wherein the identified road information includes lane line information, road drivable information, and obstacle information;

[0063] In a case where the road information is non-identified road information, input target information is obtained, wherein the target information includes a destination and a requirement for a heading of the engineering equipment at the destination, and the non-identified road information includes a current position and a current heading of the engineering equipment, obstacle information, and map information of the road;

[0064] An initial driving area is determined based on the target information and the non-identified road information;

[0065] A road allowable turning radius and a corresponding turning path are determined based on the initial driving area.

[0066] It should be noted that the application range of the engineering equipment is very wide, and the road environment faced is very complex. In particular, in some environments without road markings, the experience requirement for the driver is very high, and in some cases with many obstacles and narrow road surfaces, the driver is difficult to identify the road surface conditions. If the driver only relies on experience to select a turning mode for turning, the turning efficiency is low, and there may be safety risks. In the embodiment, in order to improve the adaptability of the engineering equipment to different road environments and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the engineering equipment, different methods are used to determine a road allowable turning radius and a corresponding turning path according to different road information.

[0067] Specifically, the road information can be divided into identified road information or non-identified road information. The identified road information refers to the relevant road information of a road with road markings, such as a city road. The non-identified road information refers to the relevant road information of a road without road markings, such as a wild road. For the identified road information, lane line information such as lane width, lane boundary, road drivable information such as single line, no-entry area, and obstacle information such as road construction and traffic accident can be collected. The lane line information can be accurately analyzed by using image processing technology and sensor data to determine the curvature and direction change of the road, exclude non-drivable areas in combination with the road drivable information, and then adjust the turning path to avoid obstacles in combination with the consideration of the obstacle information. The above information is integrated to calculate the maximum road allowable turning radius and the corresponding turning path.

[0068] For non-identified road information, target information is collected first. The target information includes destination and the requirement of the heading of the vehicle at the destination, which is usually input by the operator or obtained through the navigation system. The non-identified road information includes the current position and the current heading of the engineering equipment, obstacle information and map information of the road, such as road network, intersection, etc. According to the destination and the non-identified road information, a shortest or optimal path from the current position to the target is calculated by using a path planning algorithm, while considering the size and driving ability of the engineering equipment and the obstacle information, to determine an initial feasible driving area. In the initial driving area, the path planning is further refined in combination with the map information and the obstacle information, to determine the allowable turning radius of each turning point by considering the turning performance of the engineering equipment and the road conditions, and to generate a final curved path by comprehensively considering the above information. In an embodiment, in the initial driving area, the curved path is planned according to the principle of minimum turning radian, i.e. maximum turning radius.

[0069] In this embodiment, by flexibly processing different types of road information, different road conditions are adapted, and the accuracy, safety and flexibility of the turning control of the engineering equipment are improved.

[0070] In an embodiment, the target turning mode is determined based on the road allowable turning radius and all the minimum turning radii, including:

[0071] A set of turning modes is determined based on the road allowable turning radius and all the minimum turning radii;

[0072] The first minimum turning radius with the largest difference from the road allowable turning radius is screened from the set of turning modes;

[0073] The first turning mode corresponding to the first minimum turning radius is determined as the target turning mode.

[0074] It should be noted that during driving, selecting a suitable turning mode is crucial to ensure driving safety and efficiency, especially in complex road environments, where the vehicle must be able to adapt to different turning requirements. In this embodiment, the target turning mode is determined based on the road allowed turning radius and all minimum turning radii. Specifically, after determining the road allowed turning radius and the minimum turning radii under each turning mode, all minimum turning radii are compared with the road allowed turning radius to form a turning mode set. To ensure that the vehicle can reach the required steering angle in the shortest possible time, the optimal target turning mode is selected from the turning mode set. Specifically, for each turning mode in the turning mode set, the difference between its corresponding minimum turning radius and the road allowed turning radius is calculated. Among all the calculated differences, the largest one is found, and the minimum turning radius corresponding to this largest difference is the first minimum turning radius. According to the first minimum turning radius selected, the corresponding turning mode is found, which is the first turning mode, and it is determined that the first turning mode is the target turning mode. Based on the road allowed turning radius and all minimum turning radii, a target turning mode that is both safe and efficient is determined, thereby optimizing the driving experience and driving safety.

[0075] Specifically, in one embodiment, determining a turning mode set based on the road allowed turning radius and all minimum turning radii includes:

[0076] Comparing all minimum turning radii with the road allowed turning radius, respectively;

[0077] The turning mode corresponding to the second minimum turning radius is taken as the turning mode set, wherein the second minimum turning radius is the minimum turning radius that is less than the road allowed turning radius.

[0078] It should be noted that before screening the target turning mode, the embodiment will construct a turning mode set in advance to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the selection of the target turning mode. All the turning modes in the turning mode set can perform turning actions safely on the road where the engineering equipment is located. Specifically, all the minimum turning radii are compared with the road allowed turning radius. All the minimum turning radii smaller than the road allowed turning radius are found as the second minimum turning radii. It can be understood that the second minimum turning radii represent the turning actions that can be safely performed by the engineering equipment on the road. According to all the second minimum turning radii, the turning modes corresponding to the second minimum turning radii are determined to form the turning mode set. It should be noted that if all the minimum turning radii are greater than the road allowed turning radius, it is determined that the engineering equipment cannot turn, and manual intervention is required to issue a reminder. In the case where one or more minimum turning radii are equal to the road allowed turning radius and the remaining minimum turning radii are greater than the road allowed turning radius, the turning mode with the one or more minimum turning radii equal to the road allowed turning radius is selected as the turning mode set based on different application requirements, or manual intervention is required to output a reminder.

[0079] In the embodiment, the turning mode set with strong adaptability and high safety is determined based on the road allowed turning radius and all the minimum turning radii, which narrows the range for the selection of the target turning mode and improves the accuracy of the selection.

[0080] In one embodiment, the engineering equipment turning control method further comprises:

[0081] In the case where there are multiple first turning modes, the first turning mode with the highest preset mode priority is determined as the target turning mode.

[0082] It should be noted that when facing multiple possible turning modes, it is crucial to select the most suitable one. In particular, in the case where there are multiple first turning modes, that is, there are multiple minimum turning radii with the same difference from the road allowed turning radius and the difference is the largest, at this time, a clear standard is needed to determine which first turning mode should be adopted. In the embodiment, the mode priority is set for different turning modes according to vehicle performance, road conditions, driving habits, safety, and other factors, that is, the preset mode priority. Specifically, it is confirmed whether the first turning mode contains multiple first turning modes. If there is only one first turning mode, it is directly determined as the target turning mode. When there are multiple first turning modes, the first turning modes are sorted according to the preset mode priority, and the first turning mode with the highest priority is given priority to as the target turning mode.

[0083] In the embodiment, when there are multiple first turning modes, an optimal target turning mode is determined based on preset mode priorities, driving efficiency is improved, and driving safety is improved.

[0084] In one embodiment, the target turning mode is determined based on the road allowed turning radius and all minimum turning radii, including:

[0085] When there is a speed limit condition on the road, a second turning mode among all turning modes is determined based on the speed limit condition.

[0086] The target turning mode is determined based on the third minimum turning radius corresponding to all second turning modes and the road allowed turning radius.

[0087] It should be noted that the speed limit condition includes the maximum allowed driving speed and the minimum allowed driving speed set on the road. In the embodiment, when there is a speed limit condition on the road, all turning modes are traversed, the feasibility and safety of each mode under the speed limit condition are evaluated, and particular attention is paid to those modes that may cause safety hazards due to excessive speed or too small turning radius. The turning mode compatible with the speed limit condition is selected from all turning modes as the second turning mode. The third minimum turning radius refers to the minimum turning radius corresponding to the second turning mode. After the second turning mode is selected, the third turning radius corresponding to the second turning mode is compared with the road allowed turning radius, so as to determine the final target turning mode. The comparison between the third turning radius and the road allowed turning radius can refer to the method described in the above embodiment.

[0088] In the embodiment, when the speed limit condition on the road is considered, a target turning mode that is both safe and efficient is determined based on the road allowed turning radius and the minimum turning radius corresponding to all second turning modes, so as to improve the accuracy of driving decision and ensure driving safety.
