[0029] Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

A specific embodiment of the above-mentioned network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the mobile terminal.

[0033] 1 is a flow chart of a vehicle steering control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps: In step S12, vehicle steering input information is acquired, and the vehicle steering input information includes a plurality of steering parameters corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0034] In step S12, vehicle steering input information can be obtained.

[0035] Specifically, the vehicle steering input information includes a plurality of steering parameters corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0036] Optionally, the vehicle steering input information may include vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle β, front axle equivalent sideslip stiffness Csf, rear axle equivalent sideslip stiffness Csr, distance from the center of gravity to the rear axle lr, distance from the center of gravity to the front axle lf, vehicle yaw angle ψ, vehicle longitudinal velocity v, total vehicle mass m, front wheel deflection angle δf, and rear wheel deflection angle δr.

[0037] Specifically, the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle refers to the deflection angle of the vehicle's center of gravity with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. During the vehicle's running process, the vehicle's center of gravity is usually located at the center of the vehicle's longitudinal axis. However, when the vehicle turns or accelerates laterally, the vehicle's center of gravity will deflect laterally due to inertia. Generally, the larger the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle, the larger the vehicle's tilt angle during turning, and the roll angle of the vehicle will affect the stability and maneuverability of the vehicle.

[0038] The front axle equivalent sideslip stiffness refers to the anti-rolling ability of a vehicle during lateral movement, and may be used as an index to describe the stiffness characteristics of the front axle when the vehicle turns or accelerates laterally. A high front axle equivalent sideslip stiffness can improve the vehicle's handling and stability, and make steering more accurate and sensitive.

[0039] The rear axle equivalent sideslip stiffness refers to the anti-rolling ability of a vehicle during lateral movement. During the vehicle's travel, when the vehicle turns or accelerates laterally, a lateral force is generated, which causes a roll angle on the vehicle. The rear axle equivalent sideslip stiffness is used to express the response ability of the rear axle to a lateral force, i.e., the proportional relationship between the roll angle generated by the rear axle under the action of a lateral force and the lateral force.

[0040] Vehicle yaw angle refers to the roll angle of the vehicle body when the vehicle turns or moves laterally. When the vehicle moves laterally, inertia causes the vehicle body to tilt or swing, resulting in an angle called the yaw angle. The magnitude of the yaw angle is determined by many factors, including the vehicle design, suspension system, body structure, steering system, etc. A large yaw angle means that the vehicle body tilts more when the vehicle turns or moves laterally. The yaw angle has a certain effect on the handling and stability of the vehicle, and a large yaw angle may affect the stability of the vehicle, reduce the handling performance, and increase the risk of skidding and loss of control.

[0041] In step S14, a vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function is determined based on the vehicle two-degree-of-freedom model, and a rear wheel deflection angle function is obtained based on the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function, where the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function is used to represent the relationship between the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle and the multiple steering parameters, and the rear wheel deflection angle function is used to represent the relationship between the rear wheel deflection angle and the multiple steering parameters.

[0042] In the above step S14, after obtaining the vehicle steering input information, the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function is determined based on the vehicle two-degree-of-freedom model, and the rear wheel deflection angle function is obtained based on the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function.

[0043] Specifically, the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function is used to represent the relationship between the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle and multiple steering parameters, and the rear wheel deflection angle function is used to represent the relationship between the rear wheel deflection angle and multiple steering parameters.

[0044] The vehicle center of gravity side slip angle function may be expressed as Equation (1): TIFF2025009740000002.tif11170, where TIFF2025009740000003.tif7170 represents the derivative of β, TIFF2025009740000004.tif6170 represents the derivative of Ψ.

[0045] If we set β and its derivative in equation (1) to 0, the rear wheel deflection angle function is obtained as equation (2): TIFF2025009740000005.tif11170

[0046] In step S16, a yaw moment target value is obtained using the vehicle steering input information and the rear wheel deflection angle function.

[0047] In step S16, the yaw moment target value can be obtained using the vehicle steering input information and the rear wheel deflection angle function.

[0048] Due to the influence of tire slack characteristics, the force generated by δf and δr Due to the delay in TIFF2025009740000006.tif6170, the longitudinal force of the tire is established much faster than the lateral force. One could consider using the yaw moment directly to establish the TIFF2025009740000007.tif6170.

[0049] In step S18, an inner rear wheel braking force target value is determined based on the yaw moment target value, and the inner rear wheel braking force target value is used to control the target vehicle for vehicle steering.

[0050] In the above step S18, after the yaw moment target value is obtained, the inner rear wheel braking force target value is determined based on the yaw moment target value, and the inner rear wheel braking force target value can be used to control the target vehicle for vehicle steering.

[0051] Specifically, a yaw moment target value can be assigned to the inside rear wheel for steering, such that when turning left the inside rear wheel becomes the left rear wheel and vice versa, and the inside rear wheel braking force target value can be used to control the subject vehicle for vehicle steering.

[0052] Based on the above steps S12 to S18, vehicle steering input information is obtained, a vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function is determined based on a vehicle two-degree-of-freedom model, a rear wheel deflection angle function is obtained based on the vehicle center of gravity sideslip angle function, a yaw moment target value is then obtained using the vehicle steering input information and the rear wheel deflection angle function, and finally an inner rear wheel braking force target value is determined based on the yaw moment target value, and the inner rear wheel braking force target value is used to control the target vehicle for vehicle steering, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling rapid steering of the vehicle, and thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the steering sensitivity of the vehicle, and further solving the technical problem of low steering sensitivity of the vehicle in the related art.

[0053] Optionally, in step S16, obtaining a yaw moment target value using the vehicle steering input information and the rear wheel deflection angle function includes the steps of: In step S161, a target steering response speed and a first gain coefficient are obtained.

[0054] In the above step S16, when the yaw moment target value is obtained using the vehicle steering input information and the rear wheel deflection angle function, first, You can get TIFF2025009740000008.tif7170 and the first gain coefficient k.

[0055] In step S162, a yaw moment target value is obtained using the vehicle steering input information, the rear wheel deflection angle function, the target steering response speed, and the first gain coefficient.

[0056] After the target steering response speed and the first gain coefficient are obtained in the above step S162, the yaw moment target value can be obtained using the vehicle steering input information, the rear wheel deflection angle function, the target steering response speed and the first gain coefficient.

[0057] Specifically, the target steering response speed may be the response speed of the rear wheel steering actuator with respect to the target steering, and the yaw moment target value can be obtained according to equation (3). TIFF2025009740000009.tif7170Here, Mz is the yaw moment target value, TIFF2025009740000010.tif6170 is the response speed of the rear wheel steering actuator to the target steering, and k is the gain coefficient.

[0058] Based on the above steps S161 to S162, the target steering response speed and the first gain coefficient are obtained, and the yaw moment target value can be obtained using the vehicle steering input information, the rear wheel deflection angle function, the target steering response speed and the first gain coefficient, thereby determining the inner rear wheel braking force target value based on the yaw moment target value.

[0059] Optionally, in the above step S18, determining the inner rear wheel braking force target value based on the yaw moment target value includes the following steps:

[0060] In step S181, the vertical distance and the lateral distance from the center of gravity to the inner rear wheel core are obtained.

[0061] In the above step S181, when the inner rear wheel braking force target value is determined based on the yaw moment target value, first, the vertical distance x and the lateral distance y from the center of gravity to the inner rear wheel core can be obtained.

[0062] In step S182, an inner rear wheel braking force target value is determined based on the longitudinal distance, the lateral distance and the yaw moment target value.

[0063] In the above step S182, after the longitudinal and lateral distances from the center of gravity to the inner rear wheel core are obtained, the inner rear wheel braking force target value Fb can be determined based on the longitudinal and lateral distances and the yaw moment target value.

[0064] Specifically, the inner rear wheel braking force target value can be determined according to equation (4): TIFF2025009740000011.tif9170Here, Fb is the inner rear wheel braking force target value, Mz is the yaw moment target value, x is the vertical distance from the center of gravity to the inner rear wheel core, and y is the lateral distance from the center of gravity to the inner rear wheel core.

[0065] Based on the above steps S181 to S182, the longitudinal distance and the lateral distance from the center of gravity to the inner rear wheel core can be obtained, and the inner rear wheel braking force target value can be determined based on the longitudinal distance, the lateral distance and the yaw moment target value, so that the target vehicle can be controlled for vehicle steering using the inner rear wheel braking force target value, thereby improving the steering sensitivity of the vehicle.

[0066] Optionally, in step S18 above, controlling the target vehicle for vehicle steering using the inner rear wheel braking force target value includes the following steps:

[0067] In step S183, a target gradient is determined based on the inner rear wheel braking force target value, the second gain coefficient, the rear wheel deflection angle and the target steering response speed.

[0068] In the above step S183, when the target vehicle is controlled for vehicle steering using the inner rear wheel braking force target value, the target gradient can be first determined based on the inner rear wheel braking force target value, the second gain coefficient, the rear wheel deflection angle and the target steering response speed.

[0069] Specifically, the second gain coefficient may be p, the target gradient may be q, and the target gradient may be used to control the inner rear wheel braking force target value to be reduced during steering of the target vehicle.

[0070] The target gradient q can be determined according to equation (5): TIFF2025009740000012.tif8170 where q is the target gradient, p is the second gain coefficient, Fb is the rear wheel inner braking force target value, and δr is the rear wheel deflection angle; TIFF2025009740000013.tif7170 is the response speed of the rear wheel steering actuator to the target steering.

[0071] In step S184, the inside rear wheel braking force target value is controlled to be reduced while the subject vehicle is being steered in accordance with the target gradient.

[0072] In the above step S184, after the target gradient is determined based on the inner rear wheel braking force target value, the second gain coefficient, the rear wheel deflection angle and the target steering response speed, the inner rear wheel braking force target value can be controlled to be reduced while the target vehicle is being steered in accordance with the target gradient.

[0073] Specifically, in the process of setting δr, the inner rear wheel braking force target value Fb can be gradually removed at a gradient q.

[0074] Based on the above steps S183 to S184, a target gradient is determined based on the inner rear wheel braking force target value, the second gain coefficient, the rear wheel deflection angle and the target steering response speed, and the inner rear wheel braking force target value is controlled to be reduced while the target vehicle is being steered according to the target gradient, so that the braking force of this rim can be gradually removed in the process of setting the rear wheel deflection angle, and the rear wheel steering system provides a rear wheel steering angle of the entire vehicle instead of a rim brake, thereby maintaining the current yaw state of the entire vehicle, and thereby improving the steering sensitivity of the vehicle.

[0075] Optionally, the method for controlling steering for a vehicle further includes the steps of: In step S19, in response to the target vehicle completing vehicle steering, the inside rear wheel braking force target value is controlled to be reduced to zero.

[0076] In step S19, after the target vehicle has completed vehicle steering, the inside rear wheel braking force target value is controlled to be reduced to zero.

[0077] Specifically, once the vehicle has completed steering, all of the inside rear wheel braking force can be removed.

[0078] Based on the above step S19, by controlling the inner rear wheel braking force target value to be reduced to zero in response to the target vehicle completing vehicle steering, all of the inner rear wheel braking force can be removed in the process of the vehicle completing steering, and the rear wheel steering system, instead of the rim brake, provides a rear wheel steering angle of the entire vehicle, thereby maintaining the current yaw state of the entire vehicle, thereby improving the steering sensitivity of the vehicle.

[0079] In the above vehicle steering method, after the driver applies a steering input, the rim brake system of the inside wheel for steering applies a single-wheel braking force to generate a yaw moment, utilizing the characteristic that the longitudinal force of the tire is established much faster than the lateral force, improving the yaw angular acceleration, thereby improving the yaw response speed of the entire vehicle. At the same time, in conjunction with the rear wheel steering system, this rim braking force is gradually removed during the establishment of the yaw angular velocity of the entire vehicle, and the rear wheel steering system maintains the current yaw state of the entire vehicle by applying the rear wheel steering angle of the entire vehicle instead of the rim brake, thereby improving the steering sensitivity of the vehicle.

[0080] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the methods according to the above embodiments can be realized by combining software with a necessary common hardware platform, and of course, can be realized in hardware, and in many cases, the former is a better embodiment.
