Abstract:

Complex disturbances such as external interference, model uncertainty and parameter perturbation directly affect the accuracy and driving safety of intelligent vehicle path tracking control. Commercial vehicles are more susceptible to complex disturbances during driving because of their load characteristics. A hybrid path tracking control method is proposed in order to improve the accuracy and smoothness of commercial vehicle path tracking. Firstly, a robust sliding mode controller based on extended observer and an incremental LQR controller with stable changes are established. Particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to tune the parameters of the incremental LQR. Then, in order to improve robustness while weakening chattering, a fuzzy controller is used to adjust weight coefficient between them according to vehicle speed and lateral error. Finally, simulation analysis and vehicle experiments are conducted. The experimental data shows that SMC+LQR has good control performance to cope with complex external disturbances.
