Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, specifically to a method and system for controlling tire force distribution in an automatic wheel intelligent chassis vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of four-wheel independent drive and independent steering technologies, especially the maturity and application of corner module chassis architecture, vehicle dynamics control has entered a new stage. Based on this architecture, advanced algorithms such as vehicle stability control and integrated chassis control can calculate the desired longitudinal force, desired lateral force, and desired yaw moment at the vehicle level. Then, through tire force distribution strategies, these vehicle targets are rationally decomposed to the four wheels, generating the target longitudinal and lateral forces for each wheel, and finally distributed to the hub motors, brake actuators, and steering actuators located in the four corner modules to achieve precise torque and steering control. The automatic wheel intelligent driving chassis technology applied to electric vehicles highly integrates the traditionally dispersed steering, braking, drive, and suspension systems into the wheel modules, greatly simplifying the chassis mechanical structure and achieving 100% modular chassis configuration. Under this technological framework, each of the four wheels becomes an independently controllable actuator, capable of independent drive, independent braking, and independent steering, thus providing the vehicle with unprecedented handling freedom and dynamic adjustment potential.
[0003] However, in existing control schemes, the optimization objective of tire force distribution is usually quite singular, often employing a single indicator such as optimal tire utilization, or simply combining a few indicators such as tire utilization and tire force error in a simple linear weighted combination, with the weights of each indicator often preset as fixed parameters. This fixed-weight allocation strategy is applicable under normal stable driving conditions, but when the vehicle is under aggressive driving, experiencing severe load transfer, or transitioning from the stable zone to the extreme zone, for advanced architectures like vehicles with automatic wheel intelligent driving chassis that possess high degrees of freedom in four-wheel independent drive and independent steering, fixed weights are insufficient to dynamically coordinate the balance between tire adhesion utilization and tire force tracking accuracy. Overemphasizing minimizing utilization may sacrifice control response speed, while unilaterally pursuing tracking accuracy may prematurely deplete tire adhesion reserves, resulting in the inability to fully release control potential under critical conditions, and even affecting the overall vehicle stability boundary. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a tire force distribution method suitable for intelligent autonomous vehicle chassis. Based on a thorough consideration of tire nonlinear adhesion characteristics and the physical constraints of corner module actuators, this method can achieve a dynamic balance between vehicle performance and stability, thereby promoting the development of high-degree-of-freedom chassis control technology towards a more intelligent, safer, and more efficient direction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tire force distribution control method and system for intelligent automatic wheel chassis vehicles, in order to solve the problem that existing fixed-weight distribution strategies cannot dynamically coordinate tire adhesion utilization and tire force tracking accuracy when the vehicle is under extreme or drastically changing operating conditions, thus limiting the full realization of the high degree of freedom control potential of intelligent automatic wheel chassis vehicles.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for controlling tire force distribution in an autonomous intelligent chassis vehicle includes the following steps:
[0007] S1: Calculate the generalized force tracking error index and comprehensive tire utilization index of the vehicle based on the vehicle's expected longitudinal force, expected lateral force and expected yaw moment issued by the vehicle controller.
[0008] S2: A competitive-cooperative game strategy is adopted.

[0022] in, For cooperative functions, The overall tire utilization rate is weighted by a coefficient. This is the weighting coefficient for the generalized force tracking error.
[0023] Further, in step S2, the fusion of the competition function and the cooperation function yields a hybrid objective function, wherein the formula for the hybrid objective function is:
[0024] ;
[0025] in, For a mixed objective function, This represents the competition / cooperation weighting coefficient.
[0026] Furthermore, in step S2, the dynamic adjustment of the hybrid objective function is achieved by introducing a conflict degree. Specifically, the conflict degree is used to characterize the degree of conflict between each indicator, and the competition and cooperation weight coefficients are updated online accordingly, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of the hybrid objective function. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0027] ;
[0028] in, For the degree of conflict, For dispersion, The average of the combined tire utilization rate index and the generalized force tracking error index is used. For numerically stable terms, This refers to the sensitivity parameter.
[0029] Preferably, in step S3, the step of minimizing the mixed objective function to obtain the desired longitudinal force and desired lateral force of each wheel of the vehicle is specifically performed using a constrained nonlinear programming method, under the conditions of satisfying the friction circle constraint and the tire force balance relationship; the friction circle constraint is that the longitudinal force and lateral force of each tire satisfy the inequality constraint:

[0031] in, The road surface adhesion coefficient, The vertical load for a single tire. This represents the longitudinal force of a single tire in the vehicle body coordinate system. This represents the lateral force of a single tire in the vehicle's coordinate system. These represent the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel of the vehicle, respectively.

The expected longitudinal force and expected lateral force of each wheel are mapped into actuator control parameters and sent to the actuators in the wheel corner modules of the vehicle for coordinated control.
[0043] The corner module actuator, including the hub motor, brake actuator and steering actuator, is used to receive the target torque at the wheel end and the wheel steering angle issued by the system, and to perform corresponding coordinated control.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0045] This invention provides a tire force distribution control method for vehicles with an automated wheel intelligent chassis. By considering the vehicle's generalized force tracking error index and comprehensive tire utilization rate index, it prevents excessive tire utilization of individual wheels while reasonably constraining the overall vehicle adhesion utilization level. A competitive-cooperative game theory control algorithm is employed to comprehensively consider tire utilization rate and tire force error, preventing either from becoming excessive and achieving a dynamic balance between vehicle dynamic performance and safety. Furthermore, a conflict degree adjustment hybrid objective function is introduced when using the competitive-cooperative game strategy, enabling dynamic adjustment of tire force distribution between competition and cooperation. This balances the control needs of each wheel. When both tire utilization rate and tire force error are small and not significantly different, cooperation takes precedence, comprehensively weighing both indicators. When one indicator is significantly greater than the other, competition takes precedence, prioritizing the suppression of the larger indicator, thus achieving a dynamic equilibrium between vehicle dynamic performance and driving stability.
[0046] This invention introduces a conflict degree mechanism to perceive the conflict state between tire force error and utilization rate in real time. The system prioritizes suppressing error surges or utilization rate saturation to prevent the vehicle from entering the instability zone. At the same time, it combines a hybrid objective function based on dynamic adjustment of conflict degree with nonlinear programming for solution. Under the premise of satisfying friction circle constraints and force balance relationship, the algorithm's computational complexity is reduced by conflict degree, ensuring the real-time performance of the algorithm in the vehicle embedded system. It is suitable for high-frequency chassis control loops.
[0047] This invention relies on the integrated execution characteristics of the vehicle corner modules of the automatic wheel intelligent driving chassis to map the desired longitudinal force and desired lateral force into actuator control parameters and send them to the hub motor, brake actuator and steering actuator in each corner module for coordinated control. This achieves accurate tracking of the actual longitudinal force and actual lateral force to the desired value, ensuring the vehicle's driving stability under complex working conditions.

[0049] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the subject matter of the present invention to the following embodiments. All technologies implemented based on the above content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.
[0050] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0051] The automatic wheel intelligent chassis vehicle includes four corner modules, which are located at the four corners of the vehicle. Each corner module is a wheel-end modular unit, which uses a hub motor as the drive source. It integrates the drive unit, brake actuator, steering actuator and suspension load-bearing structure at the wheel end, so that the vehicle forms an independently controllable actuator at each wheel, realizing independent driving, braking and independent steering of each wheel.
[0052] This invention proposes a tire force distribution control method for vehicles with an automated wheel intelligent chassis. It comprehensively considers tire utilization rate and tire force error, taking into account both the individual tire utilization rate of a single wheel and the overall tire utilization rate of the entire vehicle. While minimizing the overall tire utilization rate, it avoids saturation of individual wheel tire utilization. The tire force distribution control method employs a competitive-cooperative game strategy, incorporating the aforementioned core indicators into a unified optimization framework. Through a game mechanism, it balances the control needs of each wheel. When both tire utilization rate and tire force error are small and not significantly different, cooperation takes precedence, comprehensively weighing the two indicators. When one indicator is significantly greater than the other, competition takes precedence, prioritizing the suppression of the larger indicator. Furthermore, relying on the integrated execution characteristics of the corner modules, the desired longitudinal force and desired lateral force are mapped to the target torque at the wheel end and the wheel steering angle, and then distributed to the hub motors, brake actuators, and steering actuators within each corner module for coordinated control. This achieves accurate tracking of the actual longitudinal and lateral forces to the desired values, ensuring vehicle stability under complex operating conditions.
[0053] The flowchart of this method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the entire method includes the following steps:
[0054] S1: Calculate the generalized force tracking error index and comprehensive tire utilization index of the vehicle based on the vehicle's expected longitudinal force, expected lateral force and expected yaw moment issued by the vehicle controller.
[0055] S2: A competitive-cooperative game strategy is adopted. Based on the generalized force tracking error index and the comprehensive tire utilization rate index, a competitive function and a cooperative function are constructed. The competitive function and the cooperative function are merged to obtain a hybrid objective function.

This represents the longitudinal force of a single tire in the vehicle body coordinate system. This represents the lateral force of a single tire in the vehicle's coordinate system. These correspond to the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel of the vehicle, respectively.
[0060] Define the generalized longitudinal force error, the generalized lateral force error, and the generalized yaw moment error:
[0061] (2);
[0062] in, For generalized longitudinal force error, For generalized lateral force error, This refers to the generalized yaw moment error.

[0086] in, For cooperative functions, The overall tire utilization rate is weighted by a coefficient. This is the weighting coefficient for the generalized force tracking error.
[0087] To achieve a continuous transition between competition and cooperation, a hybrid objective function is obtained by integrating the competition function and the cooperation function. The formula for the hybrid objective function is as follows:
[0088] (11);
[0089] in, For a mixed objective function, This represents the competition / cooperation weighting coefficient.
[0090] To ensure a smooth transition of the mixed objective function with changing operating conditions, a conflict degree is constructed and used to adaptively adjust the cooperation-competition weight coefficients, thereby dynamically adjusting the mixed objective function. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0091] (12);
[0092] in, For the degree of conflict, For dispersion, The average of the combined tire utilization rate index and the generalized force tracking error index is used. For numerically stable terms, For sensitivity parameters, To comprehensively measure tire utilization rate, It is a generalized force tracking error index.
[0093] In step S3, the minimum value of the mixed objective function is solved to obtain the desired longitudinal force and desired lateral force of each wheel of the vehicle, and a set of longitudinal forces and lateral forces of each tire contact point along the vehicle body direction are obtained. The desired longitudinal force and desired lateral force of each wheel are then mapped to the target torque at the wheel end and the wheel steering angle of each corner module of the vehicle, and then sent to the hub motor, brake actuator and steering actuator of the corner module actuator.
