Abstract:

Steer-by-wire technology is one of the key technologies of intelligent chassis, in which high-precision steering angle following is the core control objective. Based on the hybrid control theory, a disturbance torque estimation-based predictive sliding mode control approach for steering angle following is designed. The sliding mode control is used as the core algorithm to adapt to the nonlinear characteristics of the steer-by-wire system dynamics. A PI observer is used to estimate the total disturbance torque and the adverse effect of the system is compensated. The model predictive control algorithm is used to optimize the sliding manifold parameters. The designed approach is tested and validated in a steering test vehicle equipped with an electric motor steer-by-wire system. The experimental results show that the designed predictive sliding mode controller can realize better angle trajectory following and the PI observer can estimate the lumped disturbance torque accurately.
