The invention provides a two-dimensional formation composite
sliding mode control method under an explicit convergence
time limit, and relates to the technical field of automatic driving cooperative control. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring real-time motion state information of a
pilot vehicle and N following vehicles, and establishing a third-order nonlinear dynamic model of each following vehicle; calculating a
tracking error of the following vehicle based on the
virtual vehicle strategy; dynamically
processing the predetermined performance constraints; constructing a composite
finite time sliding mode surface of a
layered structure, and determining a total
execution time limit required by convergence of all monitoring signals in the two-dimensional vehicle formation
control system from an initial deviation state to a predefined
steady state region; and finally, on the basis of the composite
finite time sliding mode surface, an external disturbance boundary is estimated online in combination with an
adaptive control algorithm, a control instruction is generated, and a monitoring
signal is forced to reach a
steady state in an explicit time upper boundary. The method provides a visual
performance estimation means for practical
engineering application, and improves the stability,
rapidity and accuracy of two-dimensional formation control.
