Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and more specifically to a robust stability control method for special vehicles on soft and rugged road surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] The complex and varied terrain of off-road courses, including rugged, sandy, muddy, steep, rocky, and gully conditions, can lead to dynamic changes in the relationship between the road surface friction coefficient and the wheel-ground interaction. On soft surfaces such as sand and snow, the interaction between the wheel and the ground involves complex mechanical phenomena such as sinking and slippage. On steep slopes or lateral tilting conditions, the vehicle's center of gravity may shift, resulting in a significantly different dynamic response compared to driving on flat roads. Traditional methods struggle to construct accurate vehicle dynamic models, making it difficult to accurately predict vehicle responses, thus further complicating the motion control tasks of off-road vehicles.

[0003] Most existing methods focus only on improving vehicle control performance under a single operating condition, making it difficult to comprehensively cover the needs of various off-road conditions. For example, patent CN11963661A proposes a method and device for off-road vehicle motion control based on model predictive control (MPC), which partially solves the stability problem at high speeds. Although this method considers the physical characteristics of off-road terrain and establishes a terrain dynamics model, the modeling approach based on physical laws is too idealistic and struggles to accurately capture wheel-ground relationships under highly uncertain road conditions, potentially affecting the algorithm's ability to guarantee terrain constraints on rugged or gully surfaces. Furthermore, patent CN119389193A provides a speed control device and method for off-road vehicles on steep slopes. The rule-based method it employs also tends towards idealism, failing to fully consider the uncertainties of road conditions and neglecting wheel slippage and sinking issues on soft or slippery roads, which may lead to decreased vehicle stability.

[0004] In summary, achieving vehicle safety and stability control under off-road conditions faces two core challenges. First, how to address the challenges of modeling wheel-road relationships under complex and variable road conditions, and construct a more accurate vehicle dynamics model to improve stability control performance. Second, there is currently a lack of a comprehensive control scheme that can simultaneously consider both lateral and longitudinal stability. Therefore, developing motion control strategies for off-road vehicles applicable to all conditions is of great significance.

[0005] Therefore, proposing a robust control method for the stability of special vehicles on soft and rugged road surfaces to address the difficulties in existing technologies is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the present invention is verified using the high-fidelity off-road simulation software Chrono. The driver model built into Chrono is used in the simulation to maintain a specific vehicle speed and follow a given desired path. In the simulation experiment, both the vehicle model and the simulation conditions are built in Chrono.

[0029] The algorithm and corresponding controller of this invention are implemented and verified through co-simulation of software systems.

[0030] 1) Software Selection

[0031] The stability control algorithm, the corresponding controller, and the simulation model of the controlled object controlled by the controller were built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and the high-fidelity off-road vehicle dynamics simulation software Chrono, respectively. The simulation step size was 0.005s, and the control cycle was 0.02s. Chrono is an open-source high-fidelity off-road vehicle dynamics simulation platform. Its main function is to provide a high-fidelity vehicle dynamics model and corresponding simulation conditions. In the simulation experiment, this model replaced the real vehicle as the implementation object of the designed fast solution algorithm. Visual Studio was used for building the controller algorithm, and Chrono's operation also depends on Visual Studio.

[0032] 2) Simulation experiments for verification and comparison

[0033] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through co-simulation. The test scenario involves accelerated two-lane change maneuvers on a soft road surface. The proposed method is denoted as DOPC. The comparative method uses a mechanistic approach to build the vehicle model, and the upper-level controller uses linear quadratic control (LQR) to generate additional yaw torque and evenly distribute the motor torque. The method proposed in this invention significantly reduces overshoot in vehicle speed and trajectory tracking.

[0034] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, without the controller activated, it is difficult to stabilize the vehicle's yaw rate, and the vehicle may even become unstable. Compared to the uncontrolled situation, the LQR control method improves the stability of the yaw rate; however, during the initial acceleration phase (the first 10 seconds), the LQR control method exhibits significant oscillations in the yaw rate. In contrast, the method of this invention can prevent wheel slippage during the initial rapid acceleration phase, greatly improving vehicle stability.

[0035] See Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, compared with the case without controller assistance and the model-based LQR control method, the method proposed in this invention takes into account the anti-slip of the wheels, thus reducing the slip ratio and greatly improving the longitudinal stability of the vehicle.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

To track the weight of the additional yaw torque, Weights for tracking the desired speed of the wheels; For the lower-level controller: ; ; ; The objective function is transformed into the following form: ; in, ; ; ; The constraints ensure that the total torque of the motor is within the specified range: ; The first set of optimized sequences is taken as the actual torque applied to the motor; in, An additional yaw torque sequence optimized for the upper-level controller. for The upper-level controller is optimized at any time. Additional yaw torque after one time step current Optimized in real time Motor torque control input after a time step. To predict the time domain, for The diagonal block matrix formed This is a four-wheel drive torque sequence. This is the transpose symbol.
