Description

Vehicle steering control system and method
Technical field
The invention relates to vehicle steering control system and method, vehicle is automatically carried out various kinds traveling action (maneuver), it includes track holding, lane changing, left/right rotation and barrier and dodged.
Background technology
In recent years, allow driver from tired driving task, and the new vehicle science and technology for making vehicle to manipulate automatically, positive place In positive state of development.One of which Key Scientific And Technical is exactly Vehicular turn control, and it makes vehicle automatically to carry out various kinds traveling Action, to arrive at a destination from a departure place.Common traveling action includes:(car body is without departing from track and protects for track holding It is held in track);Lane changing (shift to another track from the track travelled with keep speed, doubling, lower highway, Or prepare left/right rotation);Left/right rotation;And barrier dodges that (barrier that vehicle is dodged in track is to prevent collision accident from sending out It is raw).
In order to reach the action of these travelings, the control of common Vehicular turn includes at least two parts:Path planning and road Follow in footpath.Path planning refers to that an ideal path is planned or produced first to vehicle control system, and then vehicle is according to this road Footpath travels and performs traveling action.Generally under track holding pattern, the track that vehicle is followed turns into ideal path naturally.It is right For the action of other travelings, the acquisition of ideal path will then determine according to individual other traveling action.For example, lane changing Ideal path and left and right turn of ideal path are completely different.In other words, the ideal path of different traveling actions is via difference Pattern or formula and it is caused.In addition, ideal path also determines according to other factors, such as:Speed.For example, car is worked as When speed is higher, the ideal path of lane changing is also longer.Ideal path is generally established by one or multistage smoothed curve, its Mathematical expression rendering method includes batten (splines), multinomial equation (polynomials) etc..When performing traveling action, System can use reference of the ideal path as course changing control.Therefore, system needs to store ideal path before performing traveling action, or Person persistently produces new ideal path in traveling action is performed.
Relevant path follow, system decides to move to control instruction according to ideal path and vehicle condition, and then drives wheel Tire makes vehicle follow ideal path.Two major classes can be divided into by deciding to move to the approach of control instruction.First major class generally includes:(1) Estimate or obtain the curvature of ideal path, vehicle relative to ideal path lateral shift instantly and vehicle traveling direction with it is preferable The relative orientation angles (heading angle) of the tangential direction in path;(2) and course changing control instruction is calculated, its basis It is according to awarding item (feed-forward term) before curvature and according to the feedback item of lateral shift and relative orientation angles instantly The combination of (feedback term).Second major class generally includes:(1) road that vehicle may travel is predicted according to vehicle-state Footpath;(2) the front predicted path of one segment distance and the error of ideal path are judged;And linear function or mistake according to error (3) Poor integral and calculating course changing control instruction.
The current known techniques about vehicle steering control system have several defects.Section 1 shortcoming, in order to meet to turn to The needs as reference are controlled, planning or generation ideal path are necessary;However, this measure, which also corresponds to, adds system complexity And amount of calculation.Because different traveling actions has different ideal paths, system must store the reason of each different traveling actions Think path and all different driving modes (pattern) of ideal path.Then, acted according to the traveling to be performed, then Give suitable driving mode for change.System also needs to use fetched driving mode, and according to speed, road shape and other because Element, and then provide actual ideal path.For example, different driving modes can represent by different set of equations.Every group Corresponding a type of traveling action.Acted according to the traveling to be performed, system fetches appropriate set of equations.In addition, according to According to each factor, such as speed and road shape, system further determines the different parameters in fetched set of equations.Finally, The set of equations and the parameter of decision fetched define the ideal path of traveling action jointly.Moreover, when performing traveling action, If system is set as continuous updating ideal path, then the workload calculated can increase;If again when system is set to storage reason Think path, system must just dominate memory space, with perform storage function, and system also need to the position of vehicle instantly, And then recognize position corresponding in ideal path.Briefly, the offer of ideal path adds system complexity, and Calculating and the requirement of memory function.
Section 2 shortcoming, the path follow method of each type all have deficiency.In the first kind, course changing control instruction bag Item and feedback item are awarded before having included.The acquirement of curvature, which must pass through to estimate or be stored in numerical map in advance, (can cause substantial amounts of Capacity or communication need, except non-vehicle only travels on path limited and set in advance).In the fast-changing external ring of curvature Under border, another problem should exactly estimate and using which curvature (the vehicle position of the curvature of position or vehicle front instantly The curvature put).The consideration of speed is also depended in decision above.Moreover, since course changing control instruction source is by preceding awarding item and feedback item Combination, the proportion shared by both is another subject under discussion again for performance optimization.When vehicle-state and external environment change, institute The proportion accounted for will also change mostly.
The method of second of type has the advantage that, is exactly to use mutually relatively straightforward method, that is, need not estimate song Rate determines proportion;The substitute is the method for second species row needs to predict the path that vehicle may travel.It is such Method is usually using two kinds of easy predicting means:Major prognostic and secondary prediction.Under major prognostic, caused prediction Route is exactly only the straight line in the direction at direction of traffic angle.In other words, major prognostic is assumed in the time range estimated, car It can continue to keep current deflection.Steering angle instruction δ calculation formula be:δ=ke.Wherein, k is predetermined ratio Constant gain value, and e is error amount, that is, in vehicle front predeterminated position, between predicted path and ideal path away from Deviation.In terms of secondary prediction, predicted path is according to vehicle current travel direction and use state.Then, before vehicle Certain predeterminated position of side, the error e between predicted path and ideal path is integrated, and is multiplied by proportionality constant yield value k, and then Obtain steering angle instruction:δ=k (Σ e).
Although the method for Second Type is compared simply, also there are serious performance deficiencies.When ideal path is almost straight line When, satisfied performance is can reach using the control system of major prognostic means;However, in the situation for having sharp turn bend (curve) Under, the performance of control system is then very bad.When control system is leading by secondary prediction, in some cases, vehicle Satisfied precision can be showed when following ideal path.Situation above includes low or middle speed, and compares the curved of mitigation Road.But under the situation of default front distance (constant) and predetermined yield value (constant), when vehicle travels at a high speed When, control system will become unstable, and cause the deflection path when travelling the very bend at sharp turn.
In order to solve the above problems, some prior arts, which use multiple controllers and done herein between a little controllers, to be switched. It is using three controllers in a kind of prior art.First controller uses linear function by way of major prognostic Calculation error.Second and third controller then by way of secondary prediction, carries out error intergal.Second and the 3rd control Device do not exist together for:Second controller is using distance (nearer distance) in front of less predetermined (constant), and the 3rd controls Device processed is then using distance (larger distance) in front of larger predetermined (constant).When vehicle travels on the road of straight line, control System uses first controller.When vehicle travels on the very bend at sharp turn, control system is used then using second or the Three controllers.However, this technology needs to do and switch between different controllers, also cause do switch when, sacrifice control Fluency processed.If in order to improve fluency during controller switching, extra administrative mechanism is performed, system will become more multiple It is miscellaneous.In addition, this technology, also it is necessary to ensure that under all situations, the decision of controller switching can select correct controller.
Therefore, for related personnel, it is badly in need of developing a kind of rotating direction control method and system to solve prior art institute The problem of above-mentioned relevant path planning faced and path follow.The invention provides such rotating direction control method and it is System.
The content of the invention
One of present invention embodiment provides vehicle steering control method, vehicle is can perform different traveling actions.Car Actuator is equiped with to rotate the tire of vehicle.Rotating direction control method includes:One in vehicle sees front distance (look-ahead Distance the position of target point) is obtained;In the progressive position for the position prediction vehicle for seeing front distance;Determine target point with advancing The distance between position difference;By range difference divided by front distance is seen to calculate the error of standardization;And according to normalization errors Integration decide to move to control instruction.Course changing control instruction can determine by error intergal is multiplied by into a gain (fixed or dynamic) It is fixed.Then, instructed according to course changing control, actuator turns to the tire of vehicle, and then performs different traveling actions.
In rotating direction control method, seeing front distance is determined by least one of following:Speed, vehicle yaw speed, The distance between vehicle lateral acceleration, vehicle steering angle, lane curvature, normalization errors, target point and progressive position difference, Hinder when vehicle follows track with the distance between lane line, the executory traveling action of vehicle and performing when barrier is dodged Hinder the position of thing.In one embodiment, the linear function that front distance is speed is seen.That is, when speed increase, before seeing away from From being consequently increased.In another embodiment, the function that front distance is speed and vehicle yaw speed is seen.That is, work as car Speed increase, see front distance and be consequently increased;And when vehicle yaw speed increase, see front distance and then successively decrease therewith.Work as standardization When error is relatively large, sees front distance and successively decrease, and when normalization errors are relatively small, see front distance increase.Similarly, target point is worked as When the distance between progressive position difference is relatively large (or small), sees front distance and corresponding can successively decrease (or increase).In addition, traveling Action can also combine with seeing front distance.For example, the sight front distance that left/right turns can Bei Xiao Minus.In changing Lane, according to excellent The distance (or time) of the completion changing Lane of choosing, (or shortening) can be increased and see front distance.Finally, if row performed by vehicle It is that track is kept to sail action, when vehicle will be travelling through lane line, can shorten sight front distance.When vehicle is very close to lane center row When sailing, sight front distance can be increased.
In one embodiment, in order to obtain the position of target point, rotating direction control method is first according to the executory row of vehicle Action is sailed to position target point.When vehicle, which is maintained at track, advances, rotating direction control method using the lane center line that travels as Standard, (including zero offset) positioning is offset to target point.When vehicle is in changing Lane, after rotating direction control method is to convert The Central Line in track is defined, and (including zero offset) positioning is offset to target point.When vehicle is in left-hand rotation or right-hand rotation, course changing control The Central Line in track of the method after turning is defined, and (including zero offset) positioning is offset to target point.When vehicle is in position of dodging When barrier in traveling lane, target point is then positioned at the available adjacent lane in left side or right side.Finally, according in track Entreat line, deviation post and see front distance, rotating direction control method calculates the position of target point.

Specific embodiment
Disclosed herein a kind of vehicle steering control method and system.The method can be not required to ideality of plan with system A variety of traveling actions are performed in the case of path.The method uses the road travelled positioned at vehicle with system, is intended to Reference point of the target of the road of conversion or the road being transferred to as control.In order to assist the explanation present invention and existing method not Together, the schematic diagram of method used by Fig. 1 is prior art, it cooks up the ideal path of changing Lane.Fig. 2 is then the present invention The target point schematic diagram of one embodiment, it performs the traveling action of changing Lane by the foundation as course changing control.
It is existing automatic steering control system (not shown) in Fig. 1, used in vehicle 102.In non-arriving at location Before A1, lane center line 108 of the vehicle 102 along track 104 travels.Existing system uses lane center line 108 as ideal Path, and decide to move to control instruction by multiple reference points 114 along ideal path (lane center line 108). Position A1, vehicle 102 need to be converted into track 106.Therefore, ideal path 112 is planned or produced to existing steering control system. By ideal path 112, vehicle 102 can smoothly be converted into track 106.Then, existing steering control system is used positioned at reason Think the reference point 116 in path 112 and then decide to move to control instruction, and guide vehicle 102 to travel on ideal path 112.Work as car 102 when position A3 completes changing Lane, and ideal path is changed to the Central Line 110 in track 106 by existing steering control system. Therefore, for being kept for track thereafter, Central Line 110 of the existing steering control system along ideal path orients reference Point 118.
In Fig. 2, used in vehicle 202 be one embodiment of the invention automatic steering control system it is (not shown Go out).Similar in appearance to Fig. 1 Qing Condition, before arriving at location L1, vehicle 202 follows track 104 first.Then, vehicle 202 converts To track 106, and persistently follow track 106.But different from existing steering control system, disclosed herein it is automatic Control system is kept for track or changing Lane does not cook up ideal path;On the contrary, the automatic control system of the present invention It is the reference index for directly regarding course changing control using multiple target points, and this little target point is travelled along vehicle 202 Track or the track to be converted and set.Before arriving at location L1, the traveling action that vehicle 202 is carried out is that track is kept. Therefore, multiple target points 204 are set up along track 104, and the road that namely vehicle 202 is advanced of track 104.It is real one Apply in example, target point 204 is set up along lane center line 108.In another embodiment, target point 204 is then located at offset lanes The position of Central Line 108.When vehicle 202 is located at position L1 and after the L1 of position, the traveling action that vehicle 202 is carried out is Changing Lane, now multiple target points 206 be located along track 106 and set up.The namely vehicle 202 of track 106 is intended to The track of switching.In one embodiment, the lane center line 110 that is located along of target point 206 is set up.In another embodiment In, target point 206 is then located at the position of offset lanes Central Line 110.By using benchmark of the target point as course changing control, sheet The disclosed automatic steering control system of invention can smoothly guide vehicle 202 to be changed from track 104 to track 106.Namely Say, the actual travel route 208 of vehicle 202 is the subsequent effect of course changing control, rather than the road cooked up before changing Lane Footpath.After changing Lane is completed, vehicle 202 follows track 106, and target point 206 is maintained on track 106.
The present invention, for deciding to move to the difference of control instruction, can clearly illustrate with prior art by Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of the rotating direction control method of prior art, and central use is along multiple reference points set by ideal path.Scheming In 3, vehicle 102 is located at position A2, and just in changing Lane.As described in Figure 1, the rotating direction control method of prior art uses edge The reference point 116 set by ideal path 112 as control benchmark.In each time occasion t, the course changing control of prior art Method uses the specified reference point of the pre-determined distance along ideal path and positioned at vehicle front.Pre-determined distance can Represented by sight front distance d.Therefore, when vehicle 102 is located at position A2, as the specified reference point for deciding to move to control instruction 116 be R2.Then, the rotating direction control method of prior art uses major prognostic or secondary prediction, and then before prediction vehicle 102 Enter position.For example, Fig. 3 schematically illustrates the situation of secondary prediction, therefore vehicle progressive position is B2 and before vehicle 102 Side.Wherein the distance between vehicle 102 and vehicle progressive position B2 are foregoing sight front distance d.Then, the steering of prior art Control method calculates e (t), that is, the distance between reference point R2 and vehicle progressive position B2.Then, course changing control instructs Calculation formula be δ (t)=k (Σ e (t)).It is worth noting that, vehicle 102 be not using the position A2 of ideal path as Center, and the deflection of vehicle 102 is not the tangential direction towards ideal path.Because the Actual path of vehicle or Track, generally all ideal path can be deviateed because of remainder error (residue errors).
The schematic diagram of the rotating direction control method of Fig. 4 one embodiment of the invention.In detail in this figure, vehicle 202 is located at position L2, And just in changing Lane.As described in Figure 2, rotating direction control method uses benchmark of multiple target points 206 as control.This little mesh Punctuate 206 is then positioned at the track that vehicle is travelled (being kept when the traveling of vehicle 202 acts for track) or the track to be converted (when the traveling action of vehicle 202 is changing Lane).Since vehicle 202 is just in changing Lane, therefore the position of target point 206 is Located at track 106, that is, along the lane center line 110 in track 106 or the position of offset lanes Central Line 110.Each Time occasion t, rotating direction control method use a specific objective point, and specific objective point is located at the sight front distance d (t) of vehicle front. (disclosed herein an advantage of method to see front distance d be transformable, and the change for seeing front distance d will not make Unstable or sacrifice performance into system, this advantage can discuss subsequently.) therefore, when vehicle is located at position L2, do It is T2 to decide to move to the specified reference point 206 of control instruction.In one embodiment, the next step of rotating direction control method is hypothesis Vehicle maintains speed and deflection speed (yaw rate) instantly, then estimates the progressive position of vehicle.Therefore, the advanced potential of vehicle It is P2 to put.Vehicle progressive position P2 is located at the front of vehicle 202, wherein the distance between vehicle 202 and vehicle progressive position P2 For foregoing sight front distance d (t).Then, rotating direction control method calculation error value ε (t).Error value epsilon (t) is target point T2 with before Enter the distance between position P2 difference.Then, disclosed herein rotating direction control method error value epsilon (t) is standardized again (normalization).The mode of standardization is by error value epsilon (t) divided by sees front distance d (t), is then standardized error ε (t) integration:δ (t)=k (t) (Σ (ε (t)/d (t))).
By using see front distance d (t) error ε (t) is standardized, disclosed herein rotating direction control method with Prior art has suitable advantage in comparison.As it was earlier mentioned, when vehicle travels on the bend at sharp turn, according to main pre- Satisfied performance can not be reached by surveying operated steering control system.Major prognostic it is assumed that vehicle navigates on the road of straight line Road.That is, when ideal path includes the bend at sharp turn, above-mentioned hypothesis differs greatly with actual conditions.Make During with secondary prediction, the rotating direction control method of prior art will become unstable and can not also make car under high speed state Travelled along ideal path.(for the viewpoint of control theory, a control system needs enough phase margins and increasing Beneficial margin, it can stablize.In order to reach enough phase margins, control system needs enough phase-leads.In order to up to To enough gain margins, the feedback gain of control system should not exceed the particular value determined by gain margin.) in high car Under fast state, the sight front distance for being adapted to low speed to use is not enough to provide steering control system enough phase-leads.Lacking Under enough phase-lead situations, steering control system is easier to become unstable.A kind of possible means to save the situation is to work as speed During increase, front distance is seen in also increase.However, under same ideal path and predicted path situation, sight front distance is longer, error ε is also bigger.Therefore, the time of increase sight front distance is substantially also equal to increase feedback gain.Case above, which also results in, to be turned Gain margin is lost to control system, it is unstable also in turn result in system.
Disclosed herein rotating direction control method assume that vehicle maintains deflection instantly fast (or steering angle), and then predict The progressive position of vehicle.Therefore, rectilinear stretch or sharp turn bend are navigated in vehicle, disclosed herein rotating direction control method The progressive position of vehicle can all be predicted.Importantly, error value epsilon standardizes by seeing front distance, and result is done into product Divide to calculate course changing control instruction.Under higher speed, disclosed herein course changing control method can increase sight front distance D, and then more phase-leads are introduced into system.Error amount, error amount can be also increased although seeing the increase of front distance Standardization (error divided by see front distance) caused negative effect when front distance is seen in increase in prior art can be removed.Simply Say, by the standardization of error amount, disclosed herein rotating direction control method can flexibly adjust and see front distance d (t), enter And stiffness of system and performance are still maintained under extensive vehicle speed range.
As described above, according to the further drawback of the previous course changing control of secondary prediction be exactly under the situation at sharp turn, Vehicle is unable to maintain that along ideal path and travelled.In rectilinear stretch or the applicable sight front distance of gentle bend, for rapid change The path of change is possible to long.Therefore, reference point too far, and then can lead to not the actual bend for capturing ideal path.One The possible remedial measure of kind is when vehicle travels on the bend at sharp turn, and the length of front distance is seen in reduction.But in same reason In the case of thinking path and Estimative path, stretch footpath is looked forward more in short-term, error value epsilon is also smaller.Therefore, the contracting of front distance is seen It is short, substantially equal to reduce feedback gain.Situation above causes the control system of prior art needing to travel on vehicle During the track at sharp turn, suitable course changing control instruction can not be provided.
The rotating direction control method of prior art limitation also by disclosed herein rotating direction control method among mistake Difference is standardized and overcome.When travelling on the bend at sharp turn, disclosed herein steering control system can shorten sight front distance. Also cause less error value epsilon although seeing the shortening of front distance, the influence to feedback gain is little, and main cause is smaller Error value epsilon by it is less sight front distance have standardized.Therefore, disclosed herein steering control system there is enough return Gain is awarded, to provide vehicle when travelling the bend at sharp turn, possesses enough course changing controls.
In summary, compared to prior art, disclosed herein rotating direction control method there are two big advantages.First, Disclosed herein rotating direction control method use benchmark of the target point as control, and target point is located at the car that vehicle is travelled The track for (keeping) or being converted for track when traveling acts on road (when traveling action is the action of other travelings).Therefore, it is right In different traveling actions and driving condition, disclosed herein rotating direction control method without planning or produce different ideals Path.Second, disclosed herein rotating direction control method be standardized for the error between predicted position and target point Operation, normalization errors are integrated, the integration of normalization errors is then multiplied by feedback gain, and then calculated course changing control and refer to Order.By error criterion, when speed increase, disclosed herein course changing control allow to see front distance and be consequently increased, But not sacrificial system stability.In addition, error criterionization also make disclosed herein rotating direction control method, reduction see before Apart from while, without reducing feedback gain.Therefore, vehicle possesses enough course changing controls when travelling the bend at sharp turn.Root Shown according to the analysis of control theory, no matter speed (and bend of road) why, by the reason of error criterion, and then introduce Two are opened loop zero point (open-loop zeroes), and it has preferable and fixed damping ratio.Due to closed loop control system Limit it is close towards loop zero point is opened, error criterion and then closed loop control system is maintained under extensive vehicle speed range Higher feedback gain, but not sacrificial system stability.In brief, under different traveling actions and driving situation, this hair Bright disclosed rotating direction control method provides a kind of easy Vehicular turn mechanism, and it has high accurancy and precision and possesses stabilization Property.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart of the program 500 of the rotating direction control method of one embodiment of the invention.Program 500 is built into pacifying Mounted in the processor of vehicle.Processor uses instant operating type, and uses default process cycle, such as 10ms.Program 500 by step 502, it is the position for obtaining target point.According to the ongoing traveling action of vehicle, program 500 is first Determine the track that target point is located at.When the traveling action that vehicle is carried out is that track is kept, target point is located at vehicle and gone In the track sailed.When vehicle is in changing Lane, target point is then located at the track to be converted (as shown in Figures 2 and 4).Work as car When turning left or turn right, target point is located at the vehicle track to be transferred to.It is obstacle when vehicle acts in the traveling carried out Thing dodge with dodge the barrier in current track when, target point is located at the available track in left side or right side.In one embodiment, The permanent Central Line for being located at track of target point.In another embodiment, target point is disposed offset from the position of lane center line, wherein partially Shifting amount is revocable, can be zero offset or non-zero offset.
When program 500 it is determined that the track that target point is located at, program 500 then determines to see front distance, and use with At least one of lower factor is as the foundation for determining sight front distance:Speed, vehicle yaw speed, vehicle lateral acceleration, vehicle turn To the distance between the distance between angle, track camber, vehicle and track sideline, vehicle and barrier, normalization errors, target Point and the distance between progressive position difference, the action of the traveling of vehicle and barrier position (if it is barrier that traveling, which acts, When dodging).In one embodiment, the function that front distance is speed is seen.For example, d (t)=av (t), wherein d are to see front distance, V is speed, and a can be constant or transformable gain.In another embodiment, the lower limit for seeing front distance can also following formula table Show:D (t)=max (av (t), dmin).If that is, av (t)>Dmin, then d (t)=av (t);Otherwise d (t) =dmin.In another embodiment, the function that front distance d (t) is speed and vehicle yaw speed is seen:D (t)=f (v (t), ω (t)), wherein ω (t) is the deflection speed (yaw rate) of vehicle.Function f (v (t), ω (t)) is designed to when speed increase, Seeing front distance d (t) also increases;And when vehicle yaw speed increase, it is few to see front distance d (t) Ze Minus.In another embodiment, Steering angle substitutes deflection speed to determine to see front distance d (t).In another embodiment, the decision for seeing front distance d (t) is basis Speed and the camber in track.When camber is bigger, it is shorter to see front distance d (t).In addition, when normalization errors are compared and become big, Front distance is seen also to shorten.When normalization errors, which are compared, becomes small, it is then elongated to see front distance.Similarly, when aiming spot is with before Enter the distance between position difference it is larger when (or smaller), (or increase) can accordingly be successively decreased by seeing front distance.(due to each processing week The sight front distance of phase, be between normalized error or target point and progressive position distance difference before just determined .Therefore, the normalization errors of upper a cycle or the distance between target point and progressive position difference, can be used in decision The sight front distance of next cycle.) finally, if the ongoing traveling action of vehicle keeps for track, when vehicle i.e. will (lane center is relatively distant from when passing through track sideline), and seeing front distance can be reduced.When vehicle travels close to lane center, before sight Distance can increase.Further, vehicle traveling action is included into also by following mode:For example, in the case of turning left and turning right, Seeing front distance d (t) can be contracted by.For changing Lane, if longer distance (or more times) is changed trains for change The prioritizing selection in road, then seeing front distance can increase.On the contrary, if changing Lane is Yaoed the short distances of More and completed, before seeing away from Li Ke Minus are few.
When track with see front distance d (t) be determined after, program 500 then calculates be located at track Central Line on (or Person offset Central Line) aiming spot.The distance of target point to vehicle, which is equal to, sees front distance d (t).In one embodiment, mesh The position of punctuate is obtained by solving two formula:First formula represents lane center line (or skew Central Line), and Second formula represents the distance between target point and vehicle, and it, which is equal to, sees front distance.
Next, in step 504, program 500 estimates the progressive position of vehicle.Progressive position also is located at vehicle front See front distance d (t).The progressive position estimated is according to following hypothesis:When vehicle, which travels on, sees front distance, vehicle will be tieed up Hold speed and deflection speed instantly.In other words, vehicle travels on curved path, and its radius is R=v (t)/ω (t), central V (t) is speed, and ω (t) is vehicle yaw speed or yaw rate, and arc length is sight front distance d (t).The terminal of arc is to estimate Progressive position.Therefore, according to simple geometrical relationship, the position of progressive position can be obtained.In one embodiment, estimate During directly use vehicle yaw rate.In another embodiment, steering angle is then as the work for estimating deflection speed Tool.
In step 506, the distance between target point and progressive position are calculated as error value epsilon (t).Then, in step In 508, program 500 decides to move to control instruction in such a way:(1) error value epsilon (t) is carried out using sight front distance d (t) Standardization, and then normalization errors ε (t)/d (t) is obtained, (2) normalization errors integration:Σ (ε (t)/d (t)), (3) are by standard Change error intergal and be multiplied by gain, and then produce course changing control instruction:δ (t)=k (t) (Σ (ε (t)/d (t))).It is installed on car Actuator receive caused by course changing control instruction, and according to course changing control instruct manipulate tire, make vehicle carry out institute The traveling action needed.
In the embodiment of another crosswise joint method, target point is substituted by score.Then, the progressive position estimated Distance to score is calculated as error value epsilon (t), and it is used in course changing control instruction:δ (t)=k (t) (Σ (ε (t)/d (t))).In this embodiment, the score positioned at vehicle front is that the traveling carried out according to vehicle is acted and obtained.Work as car Enter runway holding action when, this score is located in skew (including zero offset) track on the track that vehicle is travelled Entreat the position of line.(when skew is zero, score is exactly the Central Line in the track that vehicle is advanced.) when vehicle is in changing Lane When, score is located at the position of skew (including zero offset) Central Line in the vehicle track to be converted.To turn left when vehicle or During right-hand rotation, score is located at the position of skew (including zero offset) Central Line in the vehicle track to be transferred to.When vehicle is entering When row barrier is dodged, score is disposed offset from the position of the Central Line in the track that vehicle is travelled.The deviation post of score Size and position and the left side of adjacent vehicle institute traveling lane and the availability of right-hand lane depending on barrier.Skew is originally Body can be divided into position skew and/or angle skew again.When skew offsets for position, score is mutually flat with lane center OK, a distance (including zero distance) and is differed each other.When skew offsets for angle, score is by rotary carriageway Central Line positions to certain angle.When skew includes position skew and angle skew simultaneously, the positioning of score is to pass through: Lane center line is done to the parallel shifted of position skew first, then the parallel lines of rotation displacement to specific angle is offset again.
Fig. 6 be disclosed herein rotating direction control method an embodiment schematic diagram.Vehicle 202 in this figure is Track 106 is shifted to from track 104.Vehicle 202 in changing Lane is located at position L2.Therefore, score is positioned at skew (bag Include zero offset) position of the lane center line 110 in track 106.Track 106 and the road to be converted of vehicle 202.Yu Bentu In embodiment, offset be zero position skew, and score 602 just be located at track 106 Central Line 110.The present invention's turns Vehicle progressive position P2 is then estimated to control method, it is positioned at front distance d is seen, such as Fig. 4.See front distance d, and depending on At least one of lower mesh:Speed, vehicle yaw speed, vehicle lateral acceleration, vehicle steering angle, track camber, standardization miss Difference, the action of the range difference of progressive position to score, vehicle traveling and the size of barrier and position are (if traveling action is When barrier is dodged).Then, rotating direction control method of the invention finds out the distance between progressive position P2 and score 602 difference, And referred to as error term ε (t).Next, the rotating direction control method of the present invention calculates the error of standardization.The mode of calculating be away from Deviation divided by sight front distance, that is, ε (t)/d (t).Afterwards, normalization errors are integrated, and is multiplied by gain, and then calculated Go out course changing control instruction:δ (t)=k (t) Σ (ε (t)/d (t)).Finally, it is installed on caused by the actuator reception of vehicle Course changing control instructs, and is instructed according to course changing control and manipulate tire, vehicle is carried out required traveling action.
Fig. 7 is flow chart, and it shows the program 700 of the rotating direction control method of one embodiment of the invention, and the base of program 700 In score, program 700.Program 700 is different from the program 500 in Fig. 5.Specifically, program 700 is according in step 702 Vehicle traveling action, and then obtain score position (rather than target point).Program 700 obtains the order of target line position It is:(1) acted according to vehicle traveling, orient score, and (2) according between lane center line and score and Central Line Skew (including zero offset), calculate the position of score.Then, in step 704, program 700 determines to see front distance, and And estimate vehicle progressive position.Vehicle progressive position is located in the sight front distance in the front of vehicle.In step 706, program 700 calculate the distance from progressive position to score.Finally, in step 708, program 700 calculates course changing control instruction.Calculate Mode be:(1) error term is standardized into (ε (t)/d (t)), (2) integrate normalization errors value, and (3) are by the product of error amount Divide and multiplied by gains (δ (t)=k (t) Σ (ε (t)/d (t))).

In a 3rd embodiment, road detection apparatus 802 includes laser scanner and processing unit to provide way According to.Laser scanner sends laser pulse wave, and catches the light beam reflected from the object of vehicle front.Processing unit according to when The principle (Time-Of-Flight/TOF) of poor ranging, determine the distance between vehicle and object.Measure on ground compared to whole Survey, due to the high reflectance of lane markings, the measurement speed (reflected light captured) of lane markings is higher.Therefore, locate The speed that unit can reflect according to light beam is managed, detects lane markings.Correspondingly, lane markings (straight line or curve) can be via not Same equation represents, for example multinomial equation.Then, processing unit calculates multinomial according to detected lane markings The parameter of equation.So include the polynomial parameters of lane markings in road data, the car in being advanced it typically is vehicle The arranged on left and right sides lane markings in road.
Crosswise joint processor 808 is connected to road detection apparatus 802 to receive road data.Crosswise joint processor 808 are also connected to speed sensor 804 to receive GES.In addition, crosswise joint processor 808 is also connected to steering angle Inductor 806 is to receive steering angle signal.According to the position of steering angle inductor, steering angle signal is the traveling of tire The angle of rotating shaft in angle, steering wheel angle or steering between steering wheel and tire.
In order to decide to move to angle command, the program that crosswise joint processor 808 uses is similar with the program 500 in Fig. 5. Crosswise joint processor 808 determines to see first front distance d in module 812.As described in Fig. 5 step 502, it is basis to see front distance At least one of below mesh and determine:Speed, vehicle yaw speed (vehicle yaw), vehicle lateral acceleration, Vehicular turn The distance between angle, track camber, normalization errors, progressive position and target point difference, the distance of vehicle to track sideline (when When traveling action be that track is kept), the position of the action of vehicle traveling and barrier is (when traveling action is dodged for barrier When).
Among module 810, crosswise joint processor 808 estimates the position of target point.The position of target point is provided at partially The position of (including zero offset) lane center line is moved, and also is located in the sight front distance of vehicle front.In one embodiment, it is horizontal Only have to control system 800 and perform the traveling action that track is kept.Therefore, the track that lane center line perseverance is travelled by vehicle Central Line.(in other embodiments, crosswise joint system 800 performs the action of other travelings, and it includes track and keeps, becomes and change trains Road, left/right turn and barrier is dodged.The details of this embodiment will arrange in pairs or groups Figure 10 discussion later.)
In one embodiment, the road way that crosswise joint processor 808 is provided according to road detection apparatus 802 first According to estimating out lane center line, and then estimate the position of target point.As described above, if using image or laser The road detection apparatus of sweep type, road data will include road shape, that is, represent left and/or right side lane markings Equation.Therefore the Central Line in track can represent (such as polynomial equation) via the equation of same type.Moreover, by The equation of left and/or right side lane markings, the parameter for representing the equation of lane center line can be estimated out.If road Detection means is using Satellite Navigation Technique, then road data will include road direction, camber, lane position, number of track-lines Amount, lane width etc..The Central Line in track can be estimated as camber line, and its radius is 1 divided by bend of road, and tangential direction is Road direction.The center in the track that the starting point of camber line is travelled by vehicle.By any of the above road detection apparatus, in track Heart line is estimated to represent the equation of Central Line's (straight line or curve).
Next, crosswise joint processor 808 is according to lane center and sees front distance, the position of target point is calculated Put.Substantially, calculating process include the equation for obtaining lane center line solution (such as:F (x, y)=0) and represent see before Solution (the x of the equation of distance2+y2=d2).Positioned at vehicle front (Tx>0) answer (Tx, Ty) is exactly the position of target point. In the present embodiment, target point is located in the sight front distance of lane center line and vehicle front.In another embodiment, target point can The position of offset lanes Central Line is positioned at, and in the sight front distance of vehicle front.In the case of this embodiment, calculate Process include obtain skew Central Line equation solution (such as:F (x, y, m)=0, wherein m are offsets) and represent see before Solution (the x of the equation of distance2+y2=d2)。
In another embodiment, crosswise joint processor 808 under the feelings Condition for not estimating lane center line according to road way According to the skew for directly estimating lane center line.For example, road data includes the equation of left and/or right-hand lane mark.Then, Crosswise joint processor 808 is by the equation for obtaining offset lanes Central Line and the Xie Erji for the equation for representing sight front distance Calculate the position of target point.
Among module 814, crosswise joint processor 808 predicts the progressive position of vehicle.Prediction process is that basis turns To angle signal and see front distance.In one embodiment, it is assumed to be used in the estimation done:Vehicle maintains speed instantly And deflection speed (yaw rate).That is, vehicle along camber line advance when radius be constant.According to the several of steering angle What relation, the radius of camber line estimated for:R=L/tan (δ)=L/tan (α δmeas).In this formula, L is the axle of vehicle Away from the steering angle that, δ is tire, δmeasThe steering angle data provided by steering angle inductor, and α is tire steering angle Degree and the ratio of steering angle data (being provided by steering angle inductor).Installation site of the α value by steering angle inductor And influence (such as positioned at steering column or electronic-controlled power steering unit).After the position of steering angle inductor is determined, so that it may learn α。
In another embodiment, vehicle yaw speed is estimated by auto model according to steering angle.One vehicle The example of model is exactly the two-dimentional auto model of name.Under the framework of two-dimentional auto model, vehicle yaw speed is model State, and speed is the parameter of model.This model sets steering angle as input value, and the deflection speed for estimating vehicle is model One of which state.On the other hand, when using vehicle dynamic model, vehicle yaw speed omega (t) can be estimated out to ω (t+ T time series data).It is to keep speed v (t) and steering angle instantly in the period of [t, t+T], vehicle that this, which estimates set hypothesis, δ (t) is spent, wherein T can be set to d (t)/v (t).That is, T, which is vehicle, completes the time spent in traveling sees front distance d (t).Cause This, according to speed and the vehicle yaw speed estimated, the progressive position of vehicle can determine to come via following equation:
x(tk+1)=x (tk)+v(t)·(tk+1-tk)·cos(θ(tk));
y(tk+1)=y (tk)+v(t)·(tk+1-tk)·sin(θ(tk));
θ(tk+1)=θ (tk)+ω(tk)·(tk+1-tk)。
In the state of coordinate is fixed on vehicle, the original state of model is (x (t0),y(t0),θ(t0))=(0,0,0). Please note in the present embodiment, in the period of [t, t+T], because vehicle assumes that speed is v forever to keep speed instantly (t).In another embodiment, can be pushed away in the period of [t, t+T], speed according to acceleration a (t) instantly or accelerating curve Estimate out.Therefore, the progressive position of vehicle can estimate out via following equation:
x(tk+1)=x (tk)+v(tk)·(tk+1-tk)·cos(θ(tk));
y(tk+1)=y (tk)+v(tk)·(tk+1-tk)·sin(θ(tk));
θ(tk+1)=θ (tk)+ω(tk)·(tk+1-tk);
v(tk+1)=v (tk)+a(tk)·(tk+1-tk)。
In one embodiment, the starting point of camber line is the position of vehicle instantly, and the tangent line of camber line is direction of traffic.When estimating Target point is that vehicle fixes coordinate, and in the vehicle of this coordinate, position is (0,0) instantly, and tangent line is located at x-axis.Therefore, camber line It can be fixed by the Te Do boundaries of a piece of land of function g (x, y)=0.Accordingly, g (x, y)=0 and the x of solving an equation are passed through2+y2=d2, it is located at The progressive position seen in front distance can be determined out.Calculated solution (Px, Py), wherein Px>0, it is exactly progressive position.
When target location (Tx, Ty), progressive position (Px, Py) and front distance d is seen it is determined that after out, at crosswise joint Reason device 808 calculates steering order in module 816.Processor 808 is calculated between aiming spot and progressive position first Range difference:ε=sqrt ((Tx-Px)2+(Ty–Py)2).Then, range difference divided by sight front distance (ε/d), processor 808 are calculated Go out normalization errors, then integrate normalization errors value:Σ(ε/d).Finally, processor 808 is by the product of normalization errors Take separately with certain gain (δ=k Σ (ε/d)), determine that steering angle instructs.
Because range difference ε and sight front distance d are not fixed values, steering order is represented by δ (t)=k Σ (ε (t)/d (t)) It is appropriate.In another embodiment, the further adjust gain k of crosswise joint processor 808, its adjust way be according to At least one of lower mesh:Range difference ε, see front distance d, normalization errors ε/d, speed, steering angle and bend of road.Therefore, increase Beneficial k is also parameter, so steering order can be further rewritten into:δ (t)=k (t) Σ (ε (t)/d (t)).Implement one In example, when normalization errors ε/d is more than certain critical value, or normalization errors have very big change, at this moment crosswise joint processing Device 808 can reduce gain k.In another embodiment, (it is greater than certain critical value) when steering angle is mutually larger, crosswise joint Processor 808 can increase gain k.Similarly, when the camber of road is mutually larger, crosswise joint processor 808 can improve gain k.(crosswise joint processor 808 can obtain bend of road via the equation of lane center line.Another method is, if make It is the road detection apparatus 802 of satellite navigation type, crosswise joint processor 808 can be carried by road detection apparatus 802 The road data of confession, directly obtains bend of road.)
After the calculating that module 816 completes steering order, crosswise joint processor 808 exports steering order to turning to start Device 818.Actuator 818 is turned to according to steering order δ, manipulates tire so that vehicle is maintained in track.In one embodiment, quilt The tire of manipulation is the front-wheel of vehicle.Actuator 818 is turned to according to steering order δ, manipulates the front-wheel of vehicle.In another embodiment In, the tire that can be turned to includes front-wheel and trailing wheel, and crosswise joint system 800 includes a pair of steering actuator.Preceding actuator is born The steering of front-wheel is blamed, then actuator is responsible for the steering of trailing wheel.Preceding actuator can make the steering angle of front-wheel to δf, then start Device can make the steering angle of trailing wheel to δr, two of which angle meets following relation:δf–δr=δ.In one embodiment, δfAnd δrSteering angle meets δ respectivelyr=(c/ (L-c)) δfRelation, wherein L is the wheelbase of vehicle, and 0<c<L.Therefore, pass through Obtain two above equation (δf–δr=δ and δr=(c/ (L-c)) δf) solution, Two actuator can determine corresponding turn To angle, it is subject to turn to front-wheel and trailing wheel.
Fig. 9 is the block schematic diagram of crosswise joint system 900.Crosswise joint system 900 is installed on vehicle.Vehicle includes The steering tire of multiple control Vehicular turns.The embodiment of crosswise joint system 900 is different from the crosswise joint system in Fig. 8 800.Do not exist together and measure the inclined of vehicle using deflection speed inductor 902 (yaw rate inductor) for crosswise joint system 900 Rotary speed.Then, the deflection speed signal that crosswise joint processor 904 is provided using deflection speed inductor 902, is predicted Vehicle progressive position is in module 814.The prediction that crosswise joint processor 904 is done, it is based on the assumption that vehicle keeps car instantly Speed and deflection speed.That is, vehicle along circular arc advance when radius it is constant.There is provided via speed sensor 804 GES, and the deflection speed signal that deflection speed inductor 902 is provided, the radius R of circular arc can be by R=v/ ω's Formula determines to come, and wherein v is speed and ω is deflection speed.The starting point of circular arc is the position of vehicle instantly, and circular arc starting point Tangent line be vehicle forward direction.Used in one embodiment is carrier coordinate (vehicle-fixed coordinates).Therefore, the starting point of circular arc is (0,0), and tangent line is x axes of coordinates.So Ke Do of circular arc pass through radius And define and come out.In addition, via obtaining arc equation (g (x, y)=0) and see front distance equation (x2+y2=d2) solution, Progressive position (Px, Py) can be computed.
