Detailed Description
The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a vehicle formation control method includes the steps of,
step one, initializing, and constructing an integral interaction scheme, specifically comprising:
the total number of vehicles contained in the vehicle formation is N (N is more than or equal to 2), and the number of the single vehicle is N (
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE105
N =2 for pilot car, N2, 3 … … N for follower car). The content of the information packet sent by the pilot vehicle is set as follows: longitude and latitude coordinates, a course angle, a vehicle speed V, a steering wheel corner A, an actual braking opening B and a formation composition instruction; the information packet content sent by the following vehicle is set as follows: longitude and latitude coordinates, course angle, vehicle speed V and steering wheelThe following vehicle is in a formation state, and the rotation angle A, the actual braking opening B and the formation state flag are 0 or 1 (the flag is 0 to indicate that the following vehicle does not enter the formation state, and the flag is 1 to indicate that the following vehicle enters the formation state). All vehicles broadcast and send the information packets in real time through a V2V technology, and n vehicles (n is more than or equal to 2) receive the pilot vehicle and the pilot vehicle at the same time

Information package of the car number (preceding car).
And step two, judging whether the pilot vehicle issues a formation composition instruction, if so, entering step two, and if not, entering step one.
Step three, after the n number vehicles (namely the vehicle, namely the following vehicle) receive the formation composition instruction of the pilot vehicle, simultaneously judging
Figure 977403DEST_PATH_IMAGE107
And (4) whether the vehicle number (the front vehicle) enters a formation state, if yes, entering a step four, and if not, entering a step two.
When the vehicle number n is the vehicle number 2, if the condition is allowed (specific condition is given below), the formation mode is entered first, and after the vehicle number 2 successfully enters the formation state (specific condition is given below), the formation state flag is broadcast and sent to be 1. After the 3 # vehicle receives the issued formation composition instruction of the pilot vehicle and the formation composition status flag bit of the 2 # vehicle is 1, if the condition allows, the 3 # vehicle starts to enter the formation mode, and after the formation status is successfully entered, the 3 # vehicle broadcasts and sends the formation composition status flag to be 1. By analogy, when the n number vehicles receive the formation composition instruction of the pilot vehicle, and simultaneously
Figure 578148DEST_PATH_IMAGE107
The number vehicle enters a formation state, at the moment, the number n vehicle starts to enter a formation mode if conditions allow, and after the number n vehicle successfully enters the formation state, a broadcast transmission formation composition state mark is 1.
And step four, judging whether the position of the pilot vehicle meets the constraint condition, if so, entering the step five, and if not, entering the step three. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
each following vehicle establishes a vehicle coordinate system with the real-time position of the vehicle as the origin of coordinates and the real-time orientation of the vehicle as the x axis, records the longitude and latitude coordinates and the course angle of the pilot vehicle at the moment, performs coordinate transformation, and calculates the course angle of the pilot vehicle under the vehicle coordinate system of the vehicle

And X is a threshold value set according to the vehicle speed, the vehicle speed is high, and the threshold value can be set to be smaller

Values and smaller X values.
Step five, the position of the pilot vehicle meets the constraint condition, and the vehicle (following vehicle) carries out trajectory planning and following, as shown in fig. 2, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
firstly, at the current moment when the following vehicle enters the formation mode, a geodetic coordinate system with the current position of the vehicle as the coordinate origin and the current orientation of the vehicle as the x axis is established, and simultaneously, longitude and latitude coordinates and a course angle of a pilot vehicle at the moment are recorded and used as the target position state of the path planning of the vehicle, and a curve accessed to the driving path of the pilot vehicle is planned through a path planning mode. The trajectory planning mode adopts five times of planning and multiple times of planning, and the planning method can ensure that the curvature of the trajectory is continuous, namely, when the running trajectory of the following vehicle is accessed to the running trajectory of the pilot vehicle, the transverse control target does not change suddenly.
Secondly, at the moment when the following vehicle enters the formation mode, the longitude and latitude coordinates and the course angle of the front vehicle are stored in real time as the running track information of the pilot vehicle and are stored in the controller, meanwhile, the track point (matching point) closest to the current position of the vehicle on the running track of the pilot vehicle is calculated according to the position of the vehicle of the following vehicle, and then the transverse distance deviation and the course angle deviation between the vehicle and the matching point are calculated according to the longitude and latitude coordinates and the course angle of the matching point
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE121
. Subsequently, step six is entered.
And step six, judging whether the vehicle enters a piloting vehicle track, namely when the vehicle finishes the track planning of the previous step and the vehicle arrives at the piloting vehicle track along with the track, enabling the vehicle to enter a formation state, entering the step seven, and otherwise, entering the step five.
Step seven, the vehicle enters the formation state, simultaneously sends the formation state flag to be 1, starts to carry out tracking control on the track of the pilot vehicle, starts to follow by taking the track point as a tracking target, and sends the following result to the pilot vehicle
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE123
And
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE125
and inputting the transverse control module to realize the tracking control of the navigator track.
And seventhly, when the following vehicle starts to carry out tracking control on the track of the pilot vehicle, controlling the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction of the following vehicle based on a vehicle drive-by-wire interface. The specific control method comprises the following steps:
firstly, as shown in fig. 3, a vehicle formation controller and a drive-by-wire chassis controller are installed on the vehicle, and the drive-by-wire chassis controller is used for receiving the vehicle control command of the upper layer (vehicle formation controller), uniformly coordinating and processing the command, and then sending the command to each execution mechanism (driving motor, braking system, rotary mechanism)To the system, etc.). The main transverse and longitudinal control interfaces of the vehicle formation controller and the drive-by-wire chassis controller are as follows: steering wheel angle command

(0-100%), brake opening command

Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE135
And converting the command into a brake pressure request and sending the brake pressure request to the brake controller.
Secondly, longitudinal control of the following vehicle is realized; namely, the following vehicle tracks the track of the pilot vehicle in the state of being in a queue, and the longitudinal control target keeps a fixed distance with the front vehicle. Since the distance is an integral of the vehicle speed, simple distance control has poor response sensitivity and is liable to cause hunting of control, and therefore, the vehicle speed of the front vehicle is introduced for control, and the control target is that the vehicle and the front vehicle have the same vehicle speed. Setting a target distance between two adjacent formation vehicles as
