Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of autonomous driving technology, and particularly relates to a method and system for trajectory tracking control of autonomous vehicles based on four-wheel distributed drive. Background Technology

[0002] Distributed drive vehicles, developed in recent years, typically operate by having several drive motors output independently controllable speeds and torques to perform steering and movement. Benefiting from their high reliability and energy efficiency, distributed drive vehicles are widely used in various fields such as park delivery, urban shuttle services, and scientific research. However, they also suffer from drawbacks such as poor control stability and insufficient control sensitivity, limiting their large-scale promotion and industrial application in certain aspects. Currently, only a few solution providers both domestically and internationally have developed control methods that can be deployed on various platforms and operate effectively, and it is difficult for ordinary users to customize them for specific needs. Distributed drive solutions involve hardware and software coordination between multiple drive units, and the debugging process is cumbersome, significantly raising the barrier to entry for autonomous driving in the aforementioned scenarios. Many factors affect the ability of distributed drive vehicles to follow a desired trajectory. Errors in the perception and positioning equipment can affect the monitoring of kinematic states such as pose and heading, indirectly interfering with the output of the execution unit; the pre-determined desired trajectory may contain dead zones that do not meet the vehicle's dynamic constraints, leading to loss of control conditions such as excessive slip rate during trajectory tracking, causing the path error to gradually increase. These factors have a significant negative impact on driving safety and limit the realization of autonomous driving functions. Therefore, designing control methods to correct following errors is a problem that the industry must currently address. For four-wheel distributed drive vehicles that cannot adjust steering angles, significant wheel slippage and wear will occur under conditions other than straight-line driving. This not only damages the vehicle's mechanical structure and shortens its service life, but also affects the vehicle's trajectory tracking performance, requiring a significant amount of time to converge errors when the deviation from the desired trajectory is too large.
