Abstract:

In order to improve the maneuvering stability of distributed electric drive vehicles under extreme operating conditions, a cooperative control system of active front wheel steering (AFS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC) based on the critical turning angle divided regions is designed in this paper. Firstly, a method of determining the tire state region based on the critical angle threshold is proposed, and the tire state region is divided into linear region, transition region and saturation region. Then on this basis, the AFS and DYC controller is respectively established, and the adaptive cooperative control of the two controllers is realized based on the “linear distance coefficient”. Then, the torque of each wheel is assigned according to the phase plane region of the vehicle state. Finally, based on the joint simulation platform of MATLAB/Simulink and CarSim, experimental validation is carried out under serpentine and double-shift conditions. The results show that the critical angle determination method can accurately identify the tire state region, solve the problem of difficult direct measurement of the tire state in the real vehicle, and significantly improve the applicability of the controller in the unknown tire parameters or complex working conditions. The collaborative control system designed on the basis of this system can effectively make up for the shortcomings of a single controller, significantly improve the stability of the vehicle's handling, and has certain engineering application value.
