Intelligent Vehicle Lateral Control Method Based on Feedforward + Predictive LQR Algorithm

Abstract

Aiming at the problems of control stability of the intelligent vehicle lateral control method, single test conditions, etc., a lateral control method with feedforward + predictive LQR is proposed, which can better adapt to the problem of intelligent vehicle lateral tracking control under complex working conditions. Firstly, the vehicle dynamics tracking error model is built by using the two degree of freedom vehicle dynamics model, then the feedforward controller, predictive controller and LQR controller are designed separately based on the path tracking error model, and the lateral control system is built. Secondly, based on the YOLO-v3 algorithm, the environment perception system under the urban roads is established, and the road information is collected, the path equation is fitted and sent to the control system. Finally, the joint simulation is carried out based on CarSim software and a Matlab/Simulink control model, and tested combined with hardware in the loop test platform. The results of simulation and hardware-in-loop test show that the transverse controller with feedforward + predictive LQR can effectively improve the accuracy of distance error control and course error control compared with the transverse controller with feedforward + LQR control, LQR controller and MPC controller on the premise that the vehicle can track the path in real time.

Lodged Sugarcane/Crop Dividers Interaction: Analysis of Robotic Sugarcane Harvester in Agriculture via a Rigid-Flexible Coupled Simulation Method

“…To make the simulation test close to the real operating state of the mechanism, it is crucial to carry out digital dynamics modeling [33][34][35]. We used the rigid-flexible coupling method to build a simulation model, which can accurately predict the motion characteristics between the crop dividers and the sugarcane.…”

Research on Trajectory Tracking of Sliding Mode Control Based on Adaptive Preview Time

“…In this Figure : a is the distance from the center of mass to the front axle; b is the distance from the center of mass to the rear axle; F yf is the lateral force of the front wheel; F yr is the lateral force of the rear wheel; v x is the longitudinal speed; v y is the lateral speed; ω is the angular velocity of transverse pendulum; β is the lateral deflection angle of the center of mass. The current research in the field of vehicle control focuses on establishing an efficient and reasonable lateral stability control strategy [3], and the main lateral control algorithms include classical PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control methods [4], optimal preview control methods [5,6], robust control [7], sliding mode control methods [8], modern control algorithm MPC (Model Predictive Control) methods [9,10], fuzzy control methods [11], and so on, and the optimization strategies of various methods are innumerable. The literature uses lane line detection techniques combined with model predictive control to design controllers [12]; uses particle swarms to optimize higher-order sliding mode control parameters [13]; and designs controllers based on adaptive preview with directional error compensation [14].…”

Longitudinal Modeling of a Road Vehicle: 4-Wheel Traction

“…The physical input signals (signal builder) are valid only for the movement or longitudinal position of the vehicle body [54,55], considering that the steering wheel of the vehicle remains straight (parallel to the road) for the set of vehicle pedals, the acceleration is determined as the input only [56]. In addition, the minimum longitudinal force (𝐹 𝑥 ) required to brake the vehicle, can be calculated from Equation 1.…”
