Abstract:

A feedforward and feedback control method with preview characteristics for intelligent electric vehicle stability is proposed. The vehicle preview model is established, and the road curvature is introduced in as a factor influencing vehicle dynamic characteristics according to vehicle preview perception of the environment. Based on the change of vehicle posture guided by the preview information, the desired longitudinal vehicle speed is described according to the road friction condition and the vehicle speed index model and the stability feedforward control method for tire lateral stiffness compensation is established. At the same time, the model prediction control (MPC) is used to design the stability feedback control law, with the preview model and preview time adjusted according to the road information adaptively to eliminate the influence of uncertain factors such as feedforward control error and road disturbance. The research results suggest that the proposed control method has lower vehicle centroid sideslip angle, yaw rate and lateral acceleration, and higher tracking accuracy. In simulation test, compared with no control method, MPC feedback control, and feedforward + MPC feedback control with fixed parameter, the control strategy proposed in this paper reduces the peak mass center sideslip angle by 41.3%, 28.9% and 10.0% respectively under dual shift conditions, and the peak yaw rate by 18.0%, 6.7%, and 2.0% respectively. Under the other dual shift conditions, the peak values of the center of mass sideslip angle decreases by 27.2%, 8.7% and 8.0% respectively, and the peak value of the yaw rate decreases by 16.9%, 12.9% and 8.6% respectively. Compared with MPC feedback control, feedforward + MPC feedback control with fixed parameter, the maximum vehicle sideslip angle decreases by 49.8% and 34.8% respectively, and the maximum yaw rate decreases by 21.8% and 12.7% respectively under the S-shaped condition. Under the other S-shaped condition, the maximum vehicle sideslip angle decreases by 36.6% and 18.6%, and the maximum yaw rate decreases by 17.7% and 12.4% respectively.
