The EPS motor is controlled to apply an auxiliary torque on the basis of the traditional power-assisted law, so that steering auxiliary collision avoidance is realized.

The whole system can be powered by a 220V power grid, and a physical one-key power-off button is integrated on a control panel to ensure safety.
The test bed consists of a front panel, a middle part, a rear panel and a base. The front panel of the test bed comprises a display, a digital display device, a start emergency stop button, a magnetic powder brake control button and light control. The driver operation panel is arranged below the front panel and imitates the actual vehicle layout, and comprises a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal.

A pressure sensor in the hardware control system generates an analog signal, and the analog signal is converted by a data acquisition card and then input into an upper computer; the steering wheel corner sensor inputs the absolute value multi-turn corner to the MicroAutobox through the CAN card. And when the data acquisition is carried out by the MircoAutobox, the data result is also output to a display of the front panel through the Labview front panel so as to be convenient for observation and debugging. Labview sends a specific frame to the CAN bus to control the action of the ESP hydraulic braking subsystem. For a steering system, because the signal output by the corner sensor is a CAN digital quantity, the signal is generally read directly through a CAN bus, and zero point calibration CAN also be carried out on the signal through a Labview test program.
The test bench debugging relates to lower computer MicroAutobox and host computer. The upper computer sets the structure of the simulated vehicle and the road environment parameters in the CarSim. The control strategy is given by a Simulink model, and the simulation environment is accessed through an input/output interface of a vehicle model arranged in CarSim. And the dSPACE can acquire simulation data in the MicroAutobox in real time and feed the simulation data back to the control strategy. The upper computer is connected with the MicroAutobox through a network cable, and the MicroAutobox is connected into a CAN bus communication system of the test bed through a CAN communication card.

The driver controls the virtual vehicle to form a closed loop through the operation of the hardware control system according to the driving experience.
The control model in the loop simulation control unit is specifically described as follows.
A steering resistance torque model is integrated in the test bed, and the purpose of the model is to enable a driver to accurately feel the steering resistance of the vehicle in the collision avoidance steering and braking processes, so that correct driver operation behaviors are generated. The calculation of the steering resistance moment is based on a vehicle two-degree-of-freedom model and a tire model and is divided into a steering resistance model under two working conditions of vehicle static and vehicle motion.

wherein t is the distance from the front wheel kingpin to the front wheel.
The integrated collision avoidance driver model can realize active collision avoidance auxiliary control of bottom layer execution actions such as active braking, active steering and the like.
The implementation method of the longitudinal collision avoidance active braking of the simulation test bed is shown in fig. 3 and comprises the following steps:
when a longitudinal emergency collision avoidance test is carried out, a driver gives an input signal through a brake pedal, and the test bed is provided with an electric vacuum pump for simulating the influence of a vacuum boosting system driven by an engine on an actual vehicle on the driving feeling of the driver. These devices ensure that the driver can obtain a driving feeling similar to that of an actual vehicle, and the practicability of the bench test system is improved.
When the automobile is longitudinally braked, the pressure generated by the brake master cylinder is transmitted to the four wheel brake cylinders through the ESP control module, and the pressure of the brake fluid directly determines the stress of the four tires of the automobile, so that the braking deceleration of the automobile is determined. The braking pressure of the four wheel cylinders can be dynamically distributed by controlling the action of the electromagnetic valve of the ESP hydraulic braking subsystem in the braking system, so that the longitudinal and transverse dynamics control of the vehicle in emergency collision avoidance is realized. The ESP control module can control the action of the electromagnetic valve thereof, thereby controlling the strength of emergency braking.
According to the grouping in the test plan, different road environment parameters and vehicle initial states are set in CarSim. And recording corresponding vehicle state parameters through CarSim in the simulation process. Through analysis of a large amount of data, parameters which can be used for identifying working conditions and driver styles and controllable factors of emergency braking are extracted. In the CarSim, a virtual sensor can be configured for the virtual simulation vehicle, so that various parameters in the simulation process can be conveniently acquired. Particularly, a radar module can be configured in the CarSim, and the radar is an important sensor of the automatic emergency braking system of the vehicle, so that the system has great significance for development and later-stage real vehicle verification of the automatic emergency braking system of the vehicle.
As shown in fig. 4, the implementation method of lateral collision avoidance active steering of the simulation test bed includes:
the output signals of a driver through a corner sensor arranged on a steering wheel and a torque sensor of an EPS power-assisted motor are input into a MicroAutobox through a CAN bus and a data acquisition card, so that software and hardware interaction is realized. And a control strategy in the upper computer sends a command to the EPS controller through a CAN bus, so that PWM torque control is realized on the EPS power-assisted motor, and an auxiliary steering torque is provided to a steering mechanism.
In addition to auxiliary steering by directly applying steering torque, the ESP system can also be used for applying different braking torques to the inner wheel and the outer wheel to provide additional yaw moment for the vehicle to complete steering collision avoidance. The driving stability of the automobile must be considered in the emergency collision avoidance process, parameters such as the yaw angular speed, the mass center slip angle and the like of the automobile can be detected in CarSim, whether the automobile is unstable or not is judged by a stability judgment program written in Simulink, and the attitude of the automobile can be corrected by controlling an ESP hydraulic braking subsystem in a braking system. The magnetic powder brake is used for applying load to a steering system, and the braking strength of the magnetic powder brake can be adjusted on line.
