Dynamic Friction Models for Road/Tire Longitudinal Interaction

Summary In this paper we derive a new dynamic friction force model for the longitudinal road/tire interaction for wheeled ground vehicles. The model is based on a dynamic friction model developed previously for contact-point friction problems, called the LuGre model. By assuming a contact patch between the tire and the ground we develop a partial differential equation for the distribution of the friction force along the patch. An ordinary differential equation (the lumped model) for the friction force is developed, based on the patch boundary conditions and the normal force distribution along the contact patch. This lumped model is derived to approximate closely the distributed friction model. Contrary to common static friction/slip maps, it is shown that this new dynamic friction model is able to capture accurately the transient behaviour of the friction force observed during transitions between braking and acceleration. A velocity-dependent, steady-state expression of the friction force versus the slip coefficient is also developed that allows easy tuning of the model parameters by comparison with steady-state experimental data. Experimental results validate the accuracy of the new tire friction model in predicting the friction force during transient vehicle motion. It is expected that this new model will be very helpful for tire friction modeling as well as for anti-lock braking (ABS) and traction control design.

Robustness to Speed of 4WS Vehicles for Yaw and Lateral Dynamics

This paper addresses the issue of robustness and closed loop performance of four wheel steering (4WS) vehicles for yaw and lateral maneuvers for fixed and non-fixed speeds. A feedback structure derived from the plant inverse dynamic, such that the vehicle 2×2 matrix transfer function is robust to speed, is proposed. The efficiency of the proposed structure depends on the actuator's bandwidth and non-linearities, and on the sensor delay. A design example which shows how to implement the proposed algorithm in highly uncertain vehicles, subject to actuator bandwidth limitations and sensor delay, is provided.

Comparison of Feedforward and Feedback Control for 4WS

SUMMARY

A system incorporating feedforward plus feedback control was configured such that it would follow the target yaw rate found by calculation. Selection of optimum values for the control system constants made it possible to separate control of the steering input response characteristic from control of vehicle stability against external disturbances. The former is controlled by the feedforward control function and the latter by the feedback control function; the values of the two functions can be set independently.     

Emergency Braking Control with an Observer-based Dynamic Tire/Road Friction Model and Wheel Angular Velocity Measurement

Summary A control scheme for emergency braking of vehicles is designed. The tire/road friction is described by a LuGre dynamic friction model. The control system output is the pressure in the master cylinder of the brake system. The controller utilizes estimated states for a feedback control law that achieves a near maximum deceleration. The state observer is designed using linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. The analysis shows that using the wheel angular speed information exclusively is not sufficient to rapidly estimate the velocity and relative velocity, due to the fact that the dynamical system is almost unobservable with this measurement as output. Findings are confirmed by simulation results that show that the estimated vehicle velocity and relative velocity converge slowly to their true values, even though the internal friction state and friction parameters converge quickly. The proposed control system has two main advantages when compared with an antilock braking system (ABS): (1) it produces a source of a priori information regarding safe spacing between vehicles that can be used to increase safety levels in the highway; and (2) it achieves a near optimal braking strategy with less chattering.     

Autonomous Emergency Braking Considering Road Slope and Friction Coefficient

The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems have been actively studied for the safety enhancement and commercialized for the past few years. Because the driver tends to overly rely upon active safety systems, AEB needs to be designed to reflect the real road situations such as various road slope and friction coefficient. In this study, an AEB control algorithm is proposed to compensate for the effects of the slope and the friction of road. Based on the maximum possible deceleration for the real road conditions, the minimum braking distance is described with margin parameters for AEB activation control. The deceleration controller with a feedforward term is designed to avoid the collision during AEB operation on real road conditions. The proposed algorithm is validated in simulations first and the experimental verification is performed in the various slope conditions.

不同路面状况对路面摩擦系数影响的试验研究

研究人员利用摆式仪测量了不同路面类型(新、旧两种AC-16沥青路面,以及SMA-16和OGFC-13两种沥青路面试块),在不同路面温度(-30～35℃)、不同湿滑情况(干燥、潮湿、湿润、结冰)、不同污染物覆盖(砂粒、泥土),及其组合状况下的摩擦系数,深入分析了不同路面状况对摩擦系数的影响。研究认为:路面温度、水膜、砂粒(泥土)等路面状况的改变,都可能导致路面摩擦系数的显著变化。温度的下降会使干燥路面的摩擦系数随着下降;路面摩擦系数会随着水膜的出现而显著下降;路面湿润条件下,路面出现泥土将使摩擦系数大幅下降;在冰面铺撒适量砂粒能够显著的增加路面摩擦系数。     

Adaptive Control of 4WS System by Using Neural Network

SUMMARY

An adaptive control system of the model following type is proposed for drive motion control of a four wheel steering (4WS) car with using neural network (NN) which has mastered nonlinear friction force between tire and road surface. A model of one rigid body is adopted which represents appropriately two kinds of car motion caused by steering action, namely the lateral displacement and the yawing rotation, and an equation of motion is described in a simplified form to make a system equation for motion control possible. Nonlinear relation between the cornering force of tire and the slip angle is obtained by numerical analysis with the tire model proposed by E. Fiala, taking friction coefficient and car speed as the parameters. The result is used as the teaching signal for NN. Three NN are used in the control system composed of both the feed-forward and the feedback circuits in order to realize adaptive control. Validity and usefulness of the proposed adaptive control system with NN are verified by three kinds of computer simulation.
