Lane-keeping assistance control algorithm using differential braking to prevent unintended lane departures

This paper describes a hierarchical lane keeping assistance control algorithm for a vehicle. The proposed control strategy consists of a supervisor, an upper-level controller and a lower-level controller. The supervisor determines whether lane departure is intended or not, and whether the proposed algorithm is activated or not. To detect driver′s lane change intention, the steering behavior index has been developed incorporating vehicle speed and road curvature. To validate the detection performance on the lane change intention, full-scale simulator tests on a virtual test track (VTT) are conducted under various driving situations. The upper-level controller is designed to compute the desired yaw rate for the lane departure prevention, and for the guidance with ride comfort. The lower-level controller is designed to compute the desired yaw moment in order to track the desired yaw rate, and to distribute it into each tire′s braking force in order to track the desired yaw moment. The control allocation method is adopted to distribute braking forces under the actuator’s control input limitation. The proposed lane keeping assistance control algorithm is evaluated with human driver model-in-the-loop simulation and experiments on a real vehicle.     

A novel integrated control framework of AFS,ASS, and DYC based on ideal roll angle to improve vehicle stability

The current research on vehicle stability control mainly focuses on following the ideal yaw rate and sideslip angle, without considering the potential of ideal roll angle in improving the vehicle stability. In addition, the mutation of tire-road friction coefficient promotes a great challenge to the stability control. To improve the vehicle stability, in this study, firstly, the three-dimensional stability region of “lateral speed-yaw rate-roll angle” was studied, and a method to determine the ideal roll angle was proposed. Secondly, a novel integrated control framework of AFS, ASS, and DYC based on ideal roll angle was proposed to actively control the front tire slip angles, suspension forces, and motor torques: In the upper-level controller, model predictive control and tire force distribution algorithm were used to obtain the optimal four-tire longitudinal forces, front tire lateral forces and additional roll moment under constraints; In the lower-level controller, the upper virtual target was realized by the optimal allocation algorithm of actuators and the tire slip controller. Finally, the proposed control framework was verified on the varied-µ road. The results indicated that compared with the two existing control strategies, the proposed framework can significantly improve the vehicle following performance and stability.

Yaw Moment Control Strategy for Four Wheel Side Driven EV

When four wheel side driven EV travals in steering or changes lanes in high speed, the vehicle is easy to side-slip or flick due to the difference of wheel hub motor and a direct effect of vehicle nonlinear factors on vehicle yaw motion, which would affect vehicle handling and stability seriously. To solve this problem, a joint control strategy, combined with the linear programming algorithm and improved sliding mode algorithm, which combines the exponential reaching law and saturation function was proposed. Firstly, the vehicle dynamics model and the reference model according with the structure and driving characteristics of four wheel side driven EV were set up. Then, introduced the basic method of the improved sliding mode variable structure control and complete the sliding mode variable structure controller design basic on vehicle sideslip angle and yaw velocity.The controller accomplish optimal allocation of vehicle braking force through a linear programming algorithm, according to yaw moment produced by the vehicle motion state. Single lane driving simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can not only control vehicle sideslip angle and yaw velocity well, but also accomplish good controlling of the vehicle yaw moment, so as to significantly improve the handling and stability of vehicle.     

Hierarchical control for cornering stability of dual-motor RWD vehicles with electronic differential system using PSO optimized SOSMC method

This paper proposes a novel control scheme with a three-layer hierarchical structure to improve the cornering stability of the dual-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles with the electronic differential system (EDS). The proposed hierarchical structure for the control system includes the observing layer, control layer, and actuation layer. In the observing layer, the driver model is designed to obtain the nominal steering angle, and the state observer is designed to obtain the yaw angle which cannot be easily measured. Then, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and second order sliding mode control (SOSMC) are employed in the control layer. The SOSMC part is used to design the control law to eliminate the chattering problem in the sliding mode algorithm, and the PSO part is used to obtain the optimal weights in the sliding mode surface to meet the minimum sideslip angle error and yaw rate error. The actuation layer allocates the corrected yaw moment by distributing the driving force to each independent driving wheel. Finally, the numerical tests are carried out under the double line change (DLC) maneuver. The results show that the proposed control system can effectively improve the cornering stability of the dual-motor RWD vehicles and reduce their motor power consumption.

Integrated vehicle dynamics management for distributed‐drive electric vehicles with active front steering using adaptive neural approaches against unknown nonlinearity

This paper proposes a new integrated vehicle dynamics management for enhancing the yaw stability and wheel slip regulation of the distributed‐drive electric vehicle with active front steering. To cope with the unknown nonlinear tire dynamics with uncertain disturbances in integrated control problem of vehicle dynamics, a neuro‐adaptive predictive control is therefore proposed for multiobjective coordination of constrained systems with unknown nonlinearity. Unknown nonlinearity with unmodeled dynamics is modeled using a random projection neural network via adaptive machine learning, where a new adaptation law is designed in premise of Lyapunov stability. Given the computational efficiency, a neurodynamic method is extended to solve the constrained programming problem with unknown nonlinearity. To test the performance of the proposed control method, simulations were conducted using a validated vehicle model. Simulation results show that the proposed neuro‐adaptive predictive controller outperforms the classical model predictive controller in tracking nominal wheel slip ratio, desired vehicle yaw rate and sideslip angle, showing its significance in vehicle yaw stability enhancement and wheels slip regulation.

Pressure control of an electro-hydraulic actuated clutch via novel hysteresis model

This paper mainly focuses on the development of pressure tracking control logic of electro-hydraulic actuators for vehicle application. This is done to improve and ensure the performance of a precise lower-level controller for evolving modern shift control logic. The required performance is obtained by hysteresis model-based feed-forward control and additional feedback control. The hysteresis and the time delay, which adversely affect pressure control, are well known nonlinear behaviors in electro-hydraulic actuators. In order to cope with the hysteresis, a novel hysteresis model is proposed based on a physical phenomenon. A mathematical model based on a characteristic curve obtained in preliminary experiments is presented using only one tuning parameter, and this model can be inverted easily to construct a feed-forward controller. In addition, a feedback controller is designed considering the stability margin of a time delay system. The feedback control inputs ensure compensation of the feed-forward errors caused by model error and uncertainty. The proposed controller is designed to lower computational cost considering applicability for production vehicles. As a result, the developed pressure controller is applied to a transmission control unit of a production vehicle and verified experimentally for various driving scenarios.
