Description

Tracking control system and control method for PRT vehicle
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of unmanned rail transit, and particularly relates to a tracking control system and a tracking control method for a PRT vehicle.
Background
A Personal rapid transit system (PRT) is a public transportation system with small traffic volume, can be used as a passenger transportation vehicle in airports, parks and scenic spots, and belongs to a novel rail transportation system. The PRT vehicle is a non-contact type rail vehicle, adopts rubber wheels to run, is not restricted by a solid rail, belongs to a non-complete restriction system, and has high nonlinearity. The basic task of autonomous tracking of a vehicle is to follow a given trajectory with as little deviation as possible, depending on a given speed. Specifically, on a straight line, the vehicle has the capability of keeping running in the center of a road and can resist external interference factors such as crosswind and the like; on the curve, the capability of passing the curve smoothly is provided, and when the vehicle runs on uneven or different attachment road surfaces, the error of the deviation track can be controlled to be a small value. According to the motion characteristics of the vehicle, the tracking control task is divided into two parts: the transverse control of the tracking track of the vehicle and the longitudinal control of the running speed of the vehicle are ensured.
A Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) is a central Control Unit, which is the core of the entire Vehicle Control system. In a PRT vehicle, a VCU plans a future driving path according to line information acquired by a sensor, calculates the rotation angle and the rotation speed of each wheel, and releases an actuating signal to a steering motor and a hub motor, thereby realizing vehicle tracking. The tracking algorithm is a decision planning technology for vehicle operation, and the VCU is the brain of the PRT vehicle and is the main body for calculation and implementation of the tracking algorithm.
In a PRT vehicle, there is only one variable actually available for control in a set of steering mechanisms, i.e. the steering motor. In the prior art, two feedback variables are used as input of a control system, one output variable is used for actuation, and in control theory, the control mode forms an over-constrained system. Based on this, the steering control system must determine, when in operation, which of the first and second, the amount of lateral movement (distance deviation) and heading angle deviation (angle deviation) is primary and secondary. However, regardless of whether the yaw amount is controlled preferentially or the heading angle deviation is controlled preferentially, there may be a posture in which two control targets conflict, such as in fig. 1, when the vehicle is traveling on the right side of the track (Δ y > 0) and the heading angle deviation is counterclockwise (ψ < 0), in eliminating the tracking deviation, the yaw amount requires the vehicle to move to the left, i.e., turn counterclockwise, and the heading angle deviation requires the vehicle to turn clockwise, which is contradictory. Further analysis reveals that when a vehicle reduces the course angle deviation by turning clockwise or the sideslip amount by turning counterclockwise, the other deviation cannot be reduced simultaneously, which means that there is always an angular residual deviation in the early stage when the vehicle returns to the track, and then the sideslip amount is continuously overshot in the process of eliminating the angular deviation. In the process of eliminating the angular deviation and the lateral displacement deviation, the vehicle oscillation motion caused by the overshoot is caused. As disclosed in publication No.: CN112486156A, the present invention discloses a method for automatic tracking control, which realizes tracking control for virtual rail vehicles by distance deviation and angle deviation. And it both through the angular deviation and through the distance deviation control virtual rail vehicle can lead to when the vehicle gets back to the initial stage on the track, there is the remaining deviation of angle all the time, then at the in-process of eliminating the angular deviation, the sideslip volume also can constantly overshoot, leads to the motion of vehicle unstable. In the process of eliminating the angle deviation and the sideslip amount deviation, the control targets of the angle deviation and the sideslip amount deviation are in conflict, and a mutually contradictory 'lever effect' exists, so that overshoot is caused, and the vehicle is caused to vibrate.

Further, the control system further comprises a switch for turning on or off the differential control unit.
A second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for the tracking control system, where the flowchart is shown in fig. 3, the control method includes:
step 1, acquiring positioning information of a current vehicle and a virtual track;
step 2, acquiring and calculating physical state information of the vehicle;
wherein, step 2 specifically includes: acquiring weight information of each part fed back by a vehicle sensor in real time and parameter information pre-stored in a memory; calculating the position of the mass center of the vehicle based on a preset model;

further, the step 3 specifically includes:
step 300: obtaining the mass m of the running gear of the vehiclebHead-shaking moment of inertia I of walking partbzDistance l from the center of the front wheel to the center of mass of the vehiclefDistance l between the center of the rear wheel and the center of mass of the vehicler(ii) a And substituting:
Figure RE-GDA0003619281050000081
Figure RE-GDA0003619281050000082
obtaining the distance l between the pre-aiming point of the front wheel of the vehicle and the mass center of the vehiclegfDistance l from prealignment point of rear wheel of vehicle to mass center of vehiclegr(ii) a Wherein the mass m of the running gear of the vehiclebHead-shaking moment of inertia I of walking partbzAll are constant values, and specific values can be obtained when the PRT vehicle leaves a factory. In the invention, the running part is provided with two front wheels and two rear wheels;unlike existing automobiles, each wheel in the present invention is a steerable wheel, i.e., both the front and rear wheels can steer. The front and rear wheels are combined into a walking part, so that the tracking problem of a pair of front and rear wheels is solved, and the same situation is also realized by considering the other side. For example, when a car has four wheels, the front two wheels must be deflected to one side (left or right) of the respective preset tracks at the same time, and the angles are the same, and the rear wheels are the same; namely, the motion trails of the left and right running parts are the same.
Step 301: according to the distance l between the prealignment point of the front wheel of the vehicle and the mass center of the vehiclegfDistance l between the pre-aiming point of the rear wheel of the vehicle and the mass center of the vehiclegrAnd obtaining a front wheel prealignment point and a rear wheel prealignment point with the position of the mass center of the vehicle, and obtaining the sideslip deviation e (t) of the vehicle according to the preset track information of the vehicle. In the step, if the vehicle has 2 steering mechanisms, each steering mechanism is controlled by the transverse movement deviation from the nearest pre-aiming point; namely, the front wheel steering mechanism is controlled by the transverse deviation obtained by the front wheel aiming point, and the rear wheel steering mechanism is controlled by the transverse deviation obtained by the rear wheel aiming point;
in the invention, the front wheel aiming point and the rear wheel aiming point are both in the vehicle length direction of the vehicle mass point, so the distance l from the front wheel aiming point to the mass center of the vehicle can be usedgfDistance l between the pre-aiming point of the rear wheel of the vehicle and the mass center of the vehiclegrAnd determining the positions of the front wheel aiming point and the rear wheel aiming point.
The transverse distance when the pre-aiming point generates transverse deviation with the preset track is transverse deviation; it is prior art in the art to obtain the lateral deviation e (t) (also referred to as the amount of lateral movement) of the vehicle from the preview point (also referred to as the tracking point); as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a vehicle operation state diagram at a certain time; the transverse displacement deviation (instantaneous value) delta y can be obtained by assuming the front wheel preview point and the rear wheel preview point as wheels as wheel positioning points and by using the wheel positioning points (preview points) and a preset driving track1、△y2. The traversing deviation can be obtained from the preview point by various methods in the art, and only one method is mentioned here, and the rest of the methods are not described in detail.
Step 4, carrying out PID control on the transverse movement deviation to obtain the oscillating torque of the vehicle steering motor; and by: formula (II)
Figure RE-GDA0003619281050000091
Obtaining the oscillating torque M of the steering motorΨ(ii) a Wherein the coefficient KPIs a scaling factor used for adjusting e (t) convergence speed and KDIs a differential coefficient for reducing overshoot in the convergence process of e (t). The PID used in this embodiment is different from the PID control commonly used in the industry, and the virtual rail vehicle only needs proportion (P) and differential (D) and does not need integral (I) control (eliminating accumulated error). Because the control system generates a return-to-positive steering motion when the vehicle deviates from the track, when the vehicle returns to the track center line, an additional traversing amount is not needed to offset the steady-state deviation, and if integral control exists, the vehicle can generate a certain overshoot or even a reverse traversing amount. In this embodiment, the preferred values of the proportionality coefficient and the differential coefficient are: kP=4800,KD=4000。
And 5, controlling the vehicle to turn through the oscillating torque.
Further, the method further comprises:
and respectively obtaining the rotating speeds of the inner side wheel and the outer side wheel when the vehicle turns according to the physical state information, the positioning information and the current vehicle running speed fed back by the vehicle in real time. The inner wheel speed v when the vehicle is turning is calculated according to the following formulaiOuter wheel speed v when the vehicle is turningo
Figure RE-GDA0003619281050000101
Figure RE-GDA0003619281050000102
Wherein R is the turning radius, v is the vehicle running speed, and a, b are half of the vehicle transverse and longitudinal span.
The vehicle transverse and longitudinal span halves a and b are geometric parameters of the vehicle and are directly stored in a memory of a VCU of the vehicle when the vehicle leaves a factory.
Further, in the step 1, the positioning information is acquired through a camera acquisition mode, a magnetic nail navigation mode or a laser radar perception positioning mode.
The vehicle is required to pass through a curve, and the tires are required to drive the vehicle to swing and turn. The existing vehicle mainly has three steering modes, namely, creep force self-steering of a railway vehicle, caterpillar band differential steering of a tank, and wheel steering angle steering of an automobile. As shown in part a of fig. 5, the guiding mechanism of the railway vehicle is creep force guiding, a shaking angle of attack is continuously generated in the guiding process, the wheels are also accompanied with transverse movement, and the two are coupled to form snaking movement; as shown in part b of figure 5, the guiding mechanism of the tank is that the left and right side rotation speed difference generates reverse motion to form a turning moment, no snaking motion exists in the guiding process, steering is performed only by relative motion of wheels at two sides, and large abrasion exists in the steering process due to the lack of the action of a steering angle; the steering of the PRT vehicle is such that the adaptive curve radius adjusts the wheel speed on both sides smoothly through the curve after the wheels are steered for yaw, as shown in part c of fig. 5. The PRT vehicle can be seen as the combination of a railway vehicle and tank steering by utilizing a steering angle and a rotation speed difference through a curve, wherein the steering angle is an active factor of steering, the rotation speed difference is a follow-up factor of wheel rotation angles, and the speed difference is formed in an adaptive mode based on an energy minimum principle, so that the tire abrasion of the vehicle in the steering process can be reduced.
The control system and the control method provided by the invention can be integrally understood as two parts of kinematics feedforward and tracking deviation feedback. In the part of kinematics feedforward, the invention carries out kinematics feedforward control based on the geometric relationship between the vehicle and the road to obtain a more optimal solution range of the vehicle movement, thereby ensuring that the movement and tracking control of the vehicle is smoother.
In order to overcome the over-constraint problem that a control system has only one output in the conventional tracking control method, the tracking deviation feedback part provided by the invention does not adopt a combined positioning mode of transverse displacement and course angle deviation, but adopts a tracking deviation positioning mode of transverse displacement corresponding to steering wheels one by one.
The motion of the vehicle through a curve can be decomposed into transverse and oscillating motions, and it is impractical to directly control the tire to make transverse motion, so the actuation output of the control system needs to be realized by the oscillating motion of the wheels, which is similar to that of a conventional automobile. The front pre-aiming point and the transverse displacement of the front wheel are linearly related, so that the tracking function of the front/rear pre-aiming points is realized by respectively taking charge of the adjacent wheels in a one-to-one correspondence manner. As shown in FIG. 6a, when the home-point has a positive amount of lateral movement (Δ y > 0), the tracking control system outputs a counterclockwise yawing moment (M) to the wheels via the running gearΨLess than 0), the wheel is forced to rotate anticlockwise, the transverse displacement is gradually reduced until the transverse displacement of the preview point disappears, and delta y is equal to 0). And vice versa as shown in figure 6 b.
In the invention, the oscillating control torque of the wheel steering motor is not influenced by the steering angle and is completely determined by the adjacent preview point: a positive amount of translation (Δ y > 0) produces a negative yaw torque (M)Ψ< 0), negative traverse (Δ y < 0) produces positive yaw torque (M)Ψ> 0) so that the tracking offset for each pre-aim point position converges simultaneously. Although this control method lacks a heading angle parameter, such tracking method can still eliminate the heading angle deviation of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 7a, when the front and rear wheels produce opposite lateral movement Δ y1<0,Δy2Greater than 0), a negative attack angle exists between the running part and the track and the tangent direction of the intersection point, namely the deviation of the heading angle is negative psi < 0), and the negative sidesway quantity (delta y) of the front wheel can be known from the mapping relation between the sidesway quantity and the shaking torque1< 0) generating a positive oscillating torque (M)Ψ1> 0), clockwise rotation of the wheels, positive lateral displacement of the rear wheels (Δ y)2< 0) generating a negative oscillating torque (M)Ψ2Less than 0), the wheels rotate anticlockwise, the front wheels and the rear wheels form a right splayed posture in the figure, the walking part swings clockwise under the action of driving force and moves along the track direction, and the wheels tend to return to the track. Similarly, the course angle deviation is positive (Ψ > 0)) In the meantime, as shown in fig. 7b, the above physical quantities are reversed in positive and negative directions, the front and rear wheels form a "left-splayed" posture, the running part can also run along a curve, and the wheels have the capability of eliminating the amount of lateral movement. It should be noted that the PRT vehicle can correct the route only by steering the vehicle, and therefore, in the present embodiment, the analysis of the curve can be applied to the analysis of the route correction as well as the analysis of the route correction.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
