基于功能安全的分布式驱动电动汽车前轮失效补偿控制

分布式驱动电动汽车可以实现四轮转矩分配和差动转向,提升整车的动力学控制性能和经济性,但是四轮转矩独立可控的特点也对功能安全提出挑战。当前轮单侧电机出现执行器故障失效情况时,不仅会产生附加横摆力矩降低车辆安全性,差动转向功能的存在还会使车辆严重偏航。基于此,在设计分布式驱动-线控转向一体化底盘的基础上,基于功能安全提出一种分布式驱动电动汽车前轮失效补偿控制策略。首先建立分布式驱动失效动力学模型,分析前轮失效对车辆状态的影响机理,发现单一的驱动转矩截断控制无法满足车辆状态修正需求;其次设计一套备用的线控转向结构,通过变截距滑模控制算法提高切换状态下线控转向系统的转角跟踪性能,并用台架试验验证跟踪的准确性;然后设计自适应失效诊断观测器实时诊断驱动系统的电机故障,在将对应轮进行驱动转矩截断后,通过模型预测控制算法对车轮转矩重新分配实现纵向和侧向的状态跟踪;最后通过仿真和实车试验验证所提失效补偿控制策略的有效性和可用性。研究结果表明：分布式驱动电动汽车前轮单侧电机失效后,备用的线控转向系统能及时矫正前轮转角,所提出的失效补偿控制策略能够快速恢复车辆的稳定性和路径跟踪能力。     

Resistance torque control for steer-by-wire system to improve human–machine interface

A steer-by-wire system, which has no mechanical constraints between steering wheel and front wheel, is expected to improve steering performance. The mechanical resistance torque is not transmitted from the front wheel to the steering wheel, and it is essential to simulate the torque around the steering wheel for better human-machine interface. Previous studies investigated resistance torque control originating from vehicle behaviour variables such as yaw rate and lateral acceleration. However, other variables such as steering wheel angle and front wheel actuation force are also good candidate sources to generate resistance torque. In this paper, first, four general guidelines are introduced to evaluate three types of resistance torques, i.e., the steering wheel angle origin, the steering force origin and the vehicle behaviour origin. First two guidelines are for ‘driver-made’ phase to make a turn, while the third guideline is for ‘vehicle-made’ phase to return to straight driving and the fourth one is the applicability guideline. Satisfaction of these guidelines by each of the three resistance torques is examined by the actual vehicle experiment. A necessity of combining these three types of resistance torques is indicated as a future subject.     

一种减轻装有EPS汽车转向扭矩的控制策略

本文提出了一种新的电动助力转向系统的控制策略,以减小车辆静止时改变方向所需的转向力。以前尝试通过减少不良的转向振动来减少转向扭矩失败的原因是因为高辅助增益往往会产生震荡或增加噪声敏感性。为了消除此种振动,开发出一种基于控制齿轮角速度的控制策略,它是在简化的转向模型的基础上开发出来的。这个实验获得了很好的齿轮角速度的估计值,这样就有可能消除方向盘所有旋转速度下的振动。实验证明在方向盘大转速变换下,转向扭矩显著降低,无振动传输给司机。所提出的控制策略使用一个辅助来获得超过原来的三倍以上的增益。此外,所提出的控制策略不需要补充传感器。     

基于MATLAB和TOPSIS法的齿轮齿条转向器的参数优化

通过Matlab编程,在满足理想关系式且外轮转角小于内轮转角的前提下,求出内外轮转角、主销偏移距、最小转弯半径,算出作用在方向盘上的手力、转向器的传动比、原地转向阻力、作用在转向节上的阻力。运用TOPSIS法进行评价,在主要考虑汽车转向轻便性与转向灵敏性的大条件下,同时兼顾转弯机动性的情况,作用在方向盘上的手力、转向器的传动比、最小转弯半径的权重按0.45、0.45、0.1的比例选取,最后通过具体案例确定齿轮齿条转向器角传动比、最小转弯半径、主销偏移距、外轮转角、内轮转角、转向盘最大转动圈数、作用在方向盘上的手力,为齿轮齿条转向器优化设计提供了重要的方法。     

电动助力转向系统的回正与主动阻尼控制策略研究

针对配备电动助力转向系统的车辆低速时回正性差,而中高速时又容易出现回正超调的现象,提出了一种新型的回正与主动阻尼控制策略。该控制策略以功能原理为理论基础,可以随车速和转向盘转角的不同而调整回正力矩或阻尼力矩的大小。实车试验的结果证明,该控制策略能够改善车辆低速时的回正性,抑制车辆中高速时的回正超调现象,并且在施加了回正与主动阻尼控制后,驾驶员的操纵手感没有受到不良的影响。     

Interaction of vehicle and steering system regarding on-centre handling

For the on-centre handling behaviour of vehicles the steering system is absolutely important. To investigate the interaction of the vehicle and steering system a validated, especially tailored simulation model was developed. Some meaningful vehicle and steering system parameters are altered to show the influence on steering wheel torque, steering feel and understeer. The results underline the importance of an accurate steering system model. Identified measures to improve the centre feel and steering response were a stiffer torsion bar, a higher cornering stiffness or a lower overall steering ratio. The steering response, however, suffers when the centre feel is improved by a higher trail. The steering rack friction reduces mainly the steering response while the steering column friction decreases the centre feel whereas a stiffer torsion bar lessens the understeer tendency.

Two-port network based bilateral control of a steer-bywire system

Steer-by-wire (SBW) system which is characterized by variable steering feel, better active safety, unmanned drive, has been widely studied to realize a distinctive driving experience. Control strategy acts as a key part of SBW system to achieve the goals. In this paper, a control strategy by bilateral control structure for steer-by-wire system is proposed. To make SBW system has the same function of conventional steering systems, the controller is designed to realize desired tracking control and realistic road feel feedback. The control of position and torque for each actuator is taken as two ports for the control network. Based on different control loop, two kinds of bilateral control is investigated respectively. The hardwarein- the-loop experiment platform of SBW is developed by the reconfiguration of electric power steering system. The test results are compared to show the performance of different control loops.

Boundary conditions of active steering control of independent rotating wheelset based on hub motor and wheel rotating speed difference feedback

The source of torque ripple in a permanent-magnet synchronous motor was analysed. Based on the feedback of the rotating speed difference between the left and right wheels, the error value of torque ripple in an in-wheel motor was calculated. Next, a simulation model of active steering control of an independently rotating wheel (IRW) in an in-wheel motor was developed to investigate effects of torque ripple. The relationship between the accuracy of active steering control of an IRW in an in-wheel motor and wheel/rail profile was derived, and then the boundary conditions of active steering control were obtained. Finally, a method was proposed to improve the active steering control of an IRW by optimising the tread.
