Abstract:

In order to improve the maneuverability of four-wheel steering vehicles at low speeds, a dynamic model of two-degree-of-freedom four-wheel steering vehicle including lateral movement and sideways movement is established and the rear wheel angle control method of four-wheel steering vehicle is summarized and summarized. Then a joint simulation platform of CarSim and Matlab/Simulink is built to make the actual steering state of the vehicle model established in CarSim close to the preset ideal steering state of two degrees of freedom. Finally, the simulation comparative analysis of several control methods is carried out by setting three working conditions, including the front wheel angle step input. The results show that the control strategies mentioned in this paper can improve the maneuverability of four-wheel steering vehicles at low speeds, making the vehicles have higher maneuvering and motion ability, which lays a foundation for finding an optimal control strategy for the rear wheel angle of four-wheel steering vehicles.

Key words: four-wheel steering vehicle, rear wheel angle control, simulation analysis
