Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distributed drive vehicle assisted steering technology, and in particular to a four-wheel differential torque enhanced steering control method and system for distributed electric drive vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Steering ability has always been considered a key indicator for evaluating the performance of new energy vehicles. Among these indicators, the minimum turning radius, a crucial parameter for measuring steering performance, directly reflects a vehicle's agility in navigating winding, narrow roads or avoiding impassable obstacles. The smaller a car's turning radius, the better its maneuverability during steering maneuvers. Currently, most new energy passenger vehicles on the market use the traditional Ackermann steering system, with a minimum turning radius ranging from approximately 4 to 8 meters. This characteristic limits the vehicle's steering agility on complex urban roads.
[0003] To address this challenge, technologies such as stationary steering and compass steering have emerged, significantly optimizing vehicle steering maneuverability. Especially for off-road vehicles performing special missions, these technologies enable them to achieve extremely small-radius turns and even rapid U-turns in narrow areas with numerous obstacles, such as streets, bridgeheads, and obstacle-filled spaces. The aforementioned functions primarily rely on complex mechanical steering architectures or independent hydraulic braking systems to achieve wheel locking and steering. In contrast, in-wheel motor-driven vehicles employ a simpler slip steering principle. Through independent differential steering technology, only appropriate external forces need to be applied to the left and right wheels to create an opposite speed difference, thus completing the steering action. This method eliminates the need for additional complex steering mechanisms, reducing costs and significantly improving vehicle agility and adaptability.
[0004] Existing research on distributed drive torque coordination lacks consideration of vehicle adaptability to off-road and paved road surface adhesion conditions. Relying solely on driver control of the vehicle's state to adjust output torque and steering speed makes it difficult to achieve good matching of torque coordination between the four-wheel hub motors. Furthermore, in various narrow road sections, relying solely on traditional steering strategies, hub coordination, and driver operation makes it difficult for the vehicle to maneuver quickly, reducing its passability on special road conditions. Therefore, it is essential to provide a distributed electric drive vehicle four-wheel differential torque enhanced steering control method and system that adaptively distributes the torque of the four-wheel hub motors according to the steering strategy corresponding to steering needs, optimizing the dynamic response of torque coordination among each wheel, and ensuring vehicle stability and maneuverability while achieving steering objectives. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a distributed electric drive vehicle four-wheel differential torque enhanced steering control method and system that proposes a wheel hub cooperative control scheme adapted to the ground for restricted working conditions with poor outdoor adhesion.

[0030] Preferably, in step B, the supplementary yaw moment based on the vehicle's steering state is obtained, and constraints based on the desired state objective function are established to distribute the supplementary moment and tune the final torque values of each wheel. T i Specifically, a dual-controller system, consisting of a fuzzy controller and a sliding mode controller, is used to track and tune the target state parameters.
