    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.

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.

    Human-machine co-driving is a transitional stage before intelligent vehicles achieving a high degree of autonomous driving. As the driver and the driving assistance system are in the loop at the same time, there is a problem of assigning driving rights for human-machine co-driving. The steering system of an intelligent vehicle must execute the steering control commands of the driver and driving assistance system in real time and with agility. The human-machine co-driving steering control strategies based on the parallel-axis electric power steering system (APA-EPS) in a smart MPV is studied in this paper. Firstly, the APA-EPS system is modeled in Simscape and the accuracy of the model is verified by bench tests. Subsequently, the steering control strategies for human-driving and machine-driving modes are designed based on fuzzy PID control algorithm and fuzzy sliding mode control algorithm respectively. When the driver is driving the vehicle dominantly, the steering control weight is determined by the distance influence degree function and the angle influence degree function, when the driving assistance system is driving the vehicle dominantly, the driver’s takeover request is monitored by sliding time windows. The simulation results show that both the human-driving and machine-driving control strategies have good corner following effect, and in human-machine co-driving mode, the steering control rights can be switched in time, and the steering wheel angle response of the APA-EPS is rapid.

    The innovation and development of vehicle chassis technology have injected new vitality into the design of intelligent driving systems. Combining the physical decoupling characteristics of steer-by-wire (SBW) systems, a human-machine shared steering control system for dense obstacle avoidance scenarios is proposed. Firstly, based on vehicle dynamics and the Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) algorithm, a receding horizon steering field histogram (RH-SFH) method is utilized to achieve the real-time obstacle avoidance decision-making and planning. Secondly, a short-term driver behavior prediction model based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) network is established, which can directly output temporal signal of steering command. Then, expected time-to-collision is calculated referring to the vehicle steering characteristics, and the risk evaluation model is established accordingly. Finally, a dynamic allocation strategy for vehicle steering control rights is constructed, and hardware-in-the-loop experiments are conducted in the joint simulation environment based on MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the shared steering control method can effectively reduce collision, improve the driving safety, and reduce the operational burden of drivers while ensuring the traffic efficiency compared with manual driving under multiple working conditions.

    The automatic driving path tracking system is an important supporting technology for realizing automatic driving above L2 level. The delayed response characteristic of the linear steering system reduces the robustness and control accuracy of the path-tracking controller, with even instability at high speed. For the above problems, an error tracking control architecture with feedforward plus finite time domain full state feedback is designed in this paper, on the basis of which the steering system delay is modeled as a first-order inertial link and integrated into the error tracking control architecture as a state variable augmentation. In this paper, the proposed tracking controllers are compared and validated using joint simulation tests, and the validation results show that the maximum lateral error of the proposed controllers is less than 0.3 m in the right-angle corner and high-speed lane change scenarios, and the steering wheel's rotational angle rms variance is reduced by 1.93% and 64.22%, respectively. The final results of the real-vehicle tests show that the controller proposed in this paper can effectively improve the lateral control accuracy in the high-speed lane-changing scenario, with the maximum lateral error less than 0.11 m.

    Abstract ( 104 )   HTML ( 4 )   PDF (2234KB) ( 135 )   Save

    Distributed drive electric vehicles with independently controllable torque for each wheel hub motor represent a typical over-actuated system. By optimizing the distribution of driving torque among the wheels, fault-tolerant control can be achieved. Taking distributed drive electric vehicles as the research object and focusing on the trajectory-tracking problem in the presence of simultaneous failure of the steer-by-wire system and multiple actuators of the wheel hub motors, a fault-tolerant control method based on differential steering and torque allocation is proposed in this paper. The method employs a hierarchical architecture. In the upper-level controller, the desired front-wheel steering angle is obtained using a model predictive control method. When failure occurs in the steering system actuators, a sliding mode control method is utilized to calculate the differential steering torque. In the lower-level controller, the torque optimization allocation strategy for failed drive motors is determined based on quadratic programming algorithms, taking into account of fault diagnosis information. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant control method under both single actuator failure and multiple actuators failure scenarios. The results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

    Active suspension plays a crucial role in the all-by-wire chassis of intelligent vehicles, enabling full-vector control of the vehicle chassis in conjunction with various driven-by-wire execution systems, significantly improving driving safety. However, the traditional control method involves calibrating numerous vehicle model parameters, which reduces the efficiency of control development. On this basis, a parameter-free H control method for the vehicle's active suspension is studied in this paper. Firstly, an approximate dynamic programming model based on the behavior dependence of the active suspension is established, transforming the H control problem into a zero-sum game process involving pavement disturbance and control behavior. Secondly, an adaptive evaluation method is used to set the action network and the critical network and online Q-learning is used to solve the system's Game algebraic Riccati equation, which provides an optimal control solution without requiring model parameters. The stability analysis demonstrates that the proposed method can converge to the Nash equilibrium point of the system. Finally, a hardware-in-the-loop system is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the active control simulation is carried out for the bump pavement and random pavement with different road grades. The results show that the control method based on Q-learning has the optimal control effect, which can improve vehicle ride comfort and handling stability in the low frequency range.

    At present, the unsupervised monocular infrared image depth estimation method is difficult to deal with low texture and low contrast areas, resulting in poor estimation effect, so an unsupervised monocular infrared image depth estimation algorithm based on local plane guide layer is proposed in this paper. The algorithm consists of continuous video frame input, multi-scale feature extraction, ASPP and local planar guidance layer, computational loss, joint training, and output image module. Firstly, by using multiple small-resolution grayscale blocks and multi-scale feature fusion, the problems of blurring edges and occluding objects in infrared images are solved. Secondly, by using the local plane guidance layer to introduce a plane constraint on the depth image, the noise and discontinuity in the depth image are reduced, and the problem of lack of clear processing of low texture areas of the traditional algorithm is solved. The experimental results show that the proposed depth estimation algorithm effectively improves the accuracy of monocular depth estimation and reduces the error, and the Abs RelSq RelRMSRMS(log) on the Iray dataset is 0.262, 3.621, 9.473 and 0.332, respectively, and the accuracy reaches 60.5%, 85.2% and 94.5% when the threshold indicators are less than 1.25, 1.252 and 1.253.

    Trajectory planning plays a key role in shortening parking time and reducing tracking difficulty, as it connects the upper-level perception and the lower-level control in parking systems. However, it is challenging to balance trajectory quality, generalization ability, and computational efficiency in parallel parking trajectory planning. To address this issue, the parallel parking trajectory planning based on double-layer solution strategy (DLSS) is proposed. The strategy includes two layers: in the first layer, the parallel parking path is divided into two segments connected by anchor points. The anchor point is identified through a backward path planning approach. The paths from the endpoint to the anchor point and from the anchor point to the starting point are planned separately. Then, a "time-optimal" profile is added to the path, and the state and control variables at specific time points are obtained in reverse order. In the second layer, the simultaneous orthogonal configuration method is used to transform the continuous state and control variables in the parallel parking optimal control into discrete variables in the trajectory nonlinear programming. The state and control variables obtained in the first layer are used as the initial values for the nonlinear programming to obtain numerical solutions. Five parallel parking scene models are established and simulated, and the results show that the optimal trajectory that meets the constraints requirements can be planned for different parking starting postures and parking space sizes, which improves the generation quality and generalization ability of trajectories, and has satisfactory computational efficiency.

    For the lane change of autonomous driving, to solve the problems of unstable output and difficulty to extract dynamic interactive scene feature in conventional end-to-end method, an end-to-end learning method for autonomous lane change based on graph convolutional network (GCN) and conditional imitation learning (CIL) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the dynamic interactive information of driving scenarios is aggregated in the form of graph-structured data. Secondly, the driving behavior instructions that the ego vehicle should take are output through GCN, which is then combined with CIL. The driving instructions output by GCN are taken as high-level commands for guiding CIL, and are finally mapped to underlying control actions of the vehicle with other perception data to complete autonomous lane change without collision. Experimental verification is carried out on CARLA simulation platform. The experimental results prove that the performance of this method is better than that of conventional end-to-end method, and it has better success rate and generalization performance.

    To achieve active obstacle avoidance of off axis-towed vehicles on unstructured road, an active obstacle avoidance controller based on model predictive control (MPC) without the support of global path and path tracker is proposed. Firstly, a kinematic model of the towing system for coupling fuller trailer based on rigid-body kinematics and incomplete restraints is established, and its motion characteristics are analyzed and verified. Secondly, according to the kinematic model of the trailer system, the prediction model of the off-axle trailer vehicle is established. Finally, a penalty function for turning collision avoidance without global path support is proposed, and an objective function is designed for the safety and stability of the trailer system, which is optimized by a nonlinear solver, with the optimal output discrete control sequence applied to the trailer system. Simulation and real vehicle experiments show that the active obstacle avoidance controller of the off-axis towing system can make the towing vehicle avoid obstacles safely on the premise of meeting the shear collision constraint.

    In highly automated driving, accurate prediction of takeover performance is of great significance to improve the safety of automated driving takeover. Based on the design of driving take-over scenarios under different cognitive load non driving-related tasks (NDRT), the significance of takeover performance indicators and EEG indicators under different cognitive load NDRT of automated driving is analyzed. Using eSense value and brainwave data of the driver as input, a prediction model of take-over performance based on random forest is constructed to analyze the prediction effect of the model within time windows of 3, 5, 7 and 9 s, and the validity of the model is verified. The results show that there are significant differences in take-over time, maximum lateral acceleration, minimum TTC and driver’s eSense under different loads of NDRT. It is found that the random forest has the best prediction performance within 9 s time window, with the accuracy of 0.94. The prediction accuracy and micro-AUC area of random forest are higher than the results of support vector machine, naive Bayes and logistic regression. The proposed method can effectively predict the take-over performance and provide a theoretical basis for the interaction design between the driver and the autonomous vehicle.

    Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of lithium-ion power battery can estimate the future state of batteries, which can guide battery maintenance and reduce the risk of failure. The battery cycle conditions are not controlled in real-world vehicle conditions, and RUL prediction under dynamic operating conditions still suffers from difficulties in processing messy data, poor accuracy of prediction results and inability to take aging uncertainty into account. For this case, the Attention Mechanism Sequence to Sequence-Particle Filter (Aseq2seq-PF) hybrid model is proposed, where the common State of Charge (SOC) charging interval is selected to obtain the normalized battery capacity and a fusion prediction strategy of Iteration and Direct is adopted, with the Aseq2seq model as the Iteration part to achieve accurate prediction of capacity sequences, the PF model as the Direct part to achieve uncertainty prediction of capacity fluctuations, and RUL is predicted by extrapolating the trend of battery capacity degradation. Verified by the real-world vehicle power battery data, the public SOC charging interval effectively obtains a clear trend of capacity degradation. The hybrid model improves the long-term prediction accuracy of the capacity degradation with good robustness, with reduction of average absolute error by more than 56% compared with existing models, and outputs confidence intervals to meet the needs of different application to achieve aging uncertainty description.

    The hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty commercial vehicle (FCHCV) is one of the ideal solutions to address energy security and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the full life cycle energy consumption and emissions of FCHCVs under key parameter scenario simulations are still unclear. This study evaluates a domestic FCHCV based on the life cycle assessment method, with a focus on analyzing the life cycle energy consumption and emissions results of FCHCV under four hydrogen production paths, which are coal gasification, methane reforming, mixed power electrolysis, and photovoltaic electrolysis.

The results show that the FCHCV using photovoltaic electrolysis has the lowest life cycle energy consumption and carbon emissions. Improving fuel economy and vehicle lifespan, and delaying fuel cell stack degradation can effectively improve the environmental impact of FCHCV during the life cycle.
