The invention discloses a vehicle control method and a vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle control. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the vehicle can realize finer and more active escape operation by simultaneously adjusting the height of the suspension, applying the braking force and finely adjusting the steering angle. Active lifting of the suspension system can change the ground pressure of the slipping wheels, which is a function that cannot be achieved by a traditional brake or differential lock. The brake system limits idle to transmit torque. The steering system can guide the target vehicle to find the optimal escape path. Through cooperation of the multiple systems, the target vehicle can more flexibly adapt to complex road surface conditions and dynamically-changed vehicle body postures, and therefore the escape efficiency and stability of the target vehicle under extreme conditions are improved. Therefore, the problems of response delay, limited control precision and low escape efficiency caused by insufficient consideration of the dynamic change of the vehicle body attitude in related technologies are solved.

A method for tuning a calibration table for an electric power steering system involves connecting the electric power steering system to an actuator machine and communicating a control input from a vehicle simulator to the actuator machine. Input forces and steering angles are applied to the electric power steering system by the actuator machine, based on the control input. The electric power steering system is controlled by a steering controller to input a steering input, i.e., an assist torque. The steering controller uses the calibration table to define the steering input, based on the applied input forces and steering angles. A steering torque generated in the electric power steering system in response to the input steering input is detected and communicated to the vehicle control system, thereby establishing a closed control loop and feedback.The calibration table can then be redefined to set a steering target value based on the detected steering response for the applied input forces.
