For convenience, the following may also be referred to as an autonomous vehicle, and the vehicles in the embodiments of the present invention are all referred to as autonomous vehicles.
According to the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention, when the steering midpoint of the vehicle is adjusted, the steering midpoint of the vehicle is determined through a simple vehicle steering test. An external computer control end can be arranged, the computer control end is connected with the automatic driving vehicle, real-time communication is achieved, and the computer control end sends a steering command to the vehicle.

Specifically, if the tire end rotation angle of the vehicle is controlled to be rotated to the maximum value of the right-turn mechanical angle, then the tire end rotation angle of the vehicle is controlled to be rotated to the maximum value of the left-turn mechanical angle, and after an angular bisector of an included angle between the maximum value of the right-turn mechanical angle and the maximum value of the left-turn mechanical angle is determined, the tire end rotation angle of the automatic driving vehicle is controlled to be rotated to the right from the maximum value of the left-turn mechanical angle for equal angle division.

Specifically, in a steering test, a right turn maximum value instruction can be sent to the vehicle-mounted steer-by-wire system through the computer control end, and the right turn maximum value is larger than the maximum value of the right turn mechanical angle. Further, after the vehicle-mounted steer-by-wire system receives the right turn maximum value instruction, the tire end corner of the vehicle is controlled to turn right, and it can be understood that the tire end of the vehicle cannot reach the right turn maximum value when turning because the right turn maximum value is larger than the right turn mechanical angle maximum value, and when the tire end corner of the automatic driving vehicle turns to the right turn mechanical angle maximum value, the tire end corner can not turn right any more, and at the moment, the right turn mechanical angle maximum value is recorded.

Further, after the vehicle-mounted steer-by-wire system receives the left-turn maximum value instruction, the tire end rotation angle of the vehicle is controlled to turn left, and it can be understood that the left-turn maximum value cannot be reached when the tire end of the vehicle turns, and when the tire end rotation angle of the automatic driving vehicle turns to the left-turn mechanical angle maximum value, the tire end rotation angle cannot turn left any more, and at the moment, the left-turn mechanical angle maximum value is recorded. The above embodiments can be referred to for determining the maximum value of the left-turning mechanical angle, and details are not repeated herein.
The specific setting value of the maximum left-turn value is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention, and is preferably set to an angle far larger than the maximum left-turn mechanical angle that can be achieved under normal conditions of the vehicle tire, for example: if the maximum value of the left-turn mechanical angle under the normal condition of the ordinary vehicle is 30 degrees, the maximum value of the left-turn can be set to 3000 degrees, and the tire end of the vehicle cannot reach the steering command of 3000 degrees due to mechanical limitation. And an unreachable steering instruction is sent to the vehicle-mounted steer-by-wire system, so that the vehicle can be ensured to reach the maximum value of a left-turning machine, and the midpoint of the turning angle of the vehicle can be accurately obtained.
