However, in the prior art, the same-track following control method usually collects the geographic coordinate information of the vehicle based on a geodetic coordinate system and fits the vehicle running track according to the geographic coordinate information. However, the collection of accurate geographic coordinates of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and the requirements of vehicle positioning accuracy and stability and reliability are difficult to meet by means of satellite positioning, optical positioning and the like; in addition, in the prior art, the driving and braking control of the vehicle is usually based on the front-rear vehicle distance for feedback control, but the method has a certain time delay, and the vehicle is easy to rear-end in an emergency. Based on the above, the invention provides a control method for queue running vehicles, which is used for solving the problems in the prior art, and a technical scheme which is the same as or similar to the technical scheme of the invention is not found through retrieval.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims at: the method is used for realizing automatic in-line running of a plurality of vehicles on the same track, and ensuring the motion coordination of all vehicles and the stable inter-vehicle distance.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a control method for a queue running vehicle comprises a vehicle steering control method, and specifically comprises the following steps:
among the vehicles running in the queue, the vehicle running at the head is called a pilot vehicle, and the central point of the front axle of the pilot vehicle is marked as F 1 (ii) a Setting Q as a natural number more than or equal to 2, calling the Q-th vehicle in the driving queue as a following vehicle Q, and recording the Q-th vehicle as a vehicle Q, and recording the central point of the front axle of the following vehicle Q as F Q (ii) a The steering control method of the vehicle Q comprises the following specific steps:
(1) Defining a coordinate system and a time series, setting F Q As the origin of coordinates, in the horizontal projection plane, the side along the vehicle body direction and facing the vehicle head is the positive direction of the Y axis, the side perpendicular to the vehicle body direction and facing the right side of the vehicle body is the positive direction of the X axis, and a coordinate system Z is established Q (ii) a Defining any moment as a k moment, and changing the k moment into a k +1 moment after a time delta t;
(2) Initialization, k =0;
(3) After a certain time Δ t, the time is changed from the time k to the time k +1, that is, k = k +1;
(4) Solving the coordinate system Z at the current time k Q Lower, central point F of front axle of piloting vehicle 1 Coordinate value F of 1k (x 1k ,y 1k ) Record F 1k Is a track point;
(5) Estimating the coordinate system Z from the time k-1 to the time k Q Wherein the turning angle of the vehicle Q from the time k-1 to the time k is solved,i.e. the coordinate system Z Q Is theta Qk Defining the rotation angle to be positive in anticlockwise rotation and negative in clockwise rotation; theta Qk =Δt*ω Qk ,ω Qk The rotation speed of the vehicle body is measured by a gyroscope arranged on the vehicle; speedometer mounted on the vehicle acquires F Q Velocity v at time k Qk (ii) a At the time of k-1, the recorded steering angle of the front axle is C Qk-1 (ii) a According to the principle of vehicle plane motion, the change parameters of the coordinate origin can be solved, wherein:
x-axis variation a = -delta t v Qk *sin(C Qk-1Qk /2);
Y-axis variation b = Δ t × ν Qk *cos(C Qk-1Qk /2);
Recording the speed value v of the current k moment Qk The method is used for calculating the driving mileage of the pilot vehicle between the track points in the next step;
(6) Coordinate transformation is carried out, and n track points F between the front axle of the pilot vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle Q under a k-1 moment coordinate system 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-n The coordinate values are sequentially converted into coordinate values under a current k moment coordinate system; according to the coordinate transformation equation, the transformed coordinate values of the X axis and the Y axis are respectively:
X 1k-m =(x 1k-m -a)*cosθ QK +(y 1k-m -b)*sinθ QK
Y 1k-m =(y 1k-m -b)*cosθ QK -(x 1k-m -a)*sinθ QK
wherein the coordinate value x on the left side of the equation 1k-m And y 1k-m As a lower trace point F of the time-k coordinate system 1k-m Coordinate value of (2), coordinate value of equation right side x 1k-m And y 1k-m Is a trace point F under a k-1 moment coordinate system 1k-m The coordinate values of (a); m is 1,2, \ 8230 \ n;
the method for evaluating the number n of the track points needing coordinate transformation comprises the steps of estimating the secondary track points F of the pilot vehicle on the assumption that the speeds of the pilot vehicle and the vehicle Q are approximately equal 1k-m To F 1k Distance traveled S Qm
S Qm =(ν Qk-1Qk-2 +…+ν Qk-m )*Δt;
Setting the mileage difference of two front axles relative to the same datum point as L when the pilot vehicle and the vehicle Q normally run Q When S is Qm >L Q When the vehicle is in a driving state, the value of m is not increased, and n = m, namely, the track point which is not between the front axle of the pilot vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle Q does not influence track calculation and steering control, and coordinate transformation is not needed, so that the calculation resources are saved;
(7) One track point F obtained based on k time 1k And n track points F obtained at previous moments and with coordinate values transformed to the current k moment coordinate system 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-n N +1 track points fitting the central point F of the front axle of the vehicle Q Q The ideal running track of the front axle is controlled by the following car steering controller according to the running track so as to lead the center point F of the front axle Q Driving along the track, and simultaneously recording the steering angle C of the front axle at the moment Qk The method is used for calculating the coordinate system transformation parameters at the next moment;
(8) If the vehicle exits the queue running state, the step is finished; if the vehicle continues to run in the queue, returning to the step (3);
the vehicle steering control method of the present invention is fundamentally different from the prior art.
Firstly, one salient inventive step is that it "does not require" vehicle positioning, trajectory calculation and steering control based on a geodetic coordinate system; the method comprises the following steps of positioning a navigator in real time based on a coordinate system of each follower vehicle, and acquiring coordinate values of a group of track points passed by the navigator; based on the vehicle kinematics principle, carrying out real-time coordinate transformation on the track points according to parameters such as the wheel rotation angle, the vehicle body rotation speed, the vehicle speed and the like of the vehicle; and fitting the ideal running track of each following vehicle according to the ideal running track. Unlike in the geodetic coordinate system, the track is static, in the invention, the ideal track is dynamically changed in value along with the change of the vehicle coordinate system, because the coordinate system is fixed with the following vehicle, the real-time deviation of the vehicle and the ideal track can be obviously solved, and the vehicle steering is controlled accordingly, so that the track deviation with the pilot vehicle can be effectively controlled and reduced.
In the prior art, a geodetic coordinate system is generally adopted during vehicle positioning and track calculation, and technologies and modules such as satellite positioning, optical positioning and the like are applied to position and calculate the static track of the vehicle based on the geodetic absolute coordinate system. As is well known, the satellite positioning error is large, the optical positioning stability is poor, the time delay is long, the satellite positioning system is often used in cooperation with a high-precision map and a foundation positioning target, the adaptability is weak, the cost is high, and the facility investment is huge; in particular engineering practice, a malignant traffic accident due to the adoption of the related art sometimes occurs. The track point positioning device, the gyroscope, the speedometer and the like applied by the invention are mature technical products, and have the advantages of low cost, stable performance and strong anti-interference capability, and in popular terms, no method for actively interfering the gyroscope exists at present, not to mention the influence of environmental road condition factors; therefore, compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of low cost, high precision, strong reliability and strong adaptability.
Secondly, in the step (5), the calculation process of the coordinate transformation parameters of the track points is not based on the conventional similar technology, particularly a broken line motion rule commonly used in an inertial navigation track integral calculation technology, but adopts a vehicle kinematics principle which is more in line with the vehicle motion characteristics; the broken line motion is characterized in that the track line is simplified into a broken line consisting of track line segments, and the turning of the moving object is simplified into turning at the intersection of the track line segments; however, in the actual movement process of the vehicle, including the central point of each front axle of the following vehicle, each point on the vehicle moves along an arc line around the instantaneous center of the vehicle, and the movement is not simplified into a broken line formed by straight line segments. Based on the principle, the coordinate transformation parameters, particularly the displacement parameters of the coordinate origin at each moment, can be accurately calculated by combining parameters such as vehicle speed, vehicle body rotating speed, wheel rotating angle and the like, and coordinate transformation and track calculation are carried out on each track point, so that more accurate steering control is realized.
Thirdly, in the step (6), when the number n of trace points needing coordinate transformation is determined, the existing similarity technology usually takes whether the coordinate value of the Y axis of the transformed trace points is less than 0 as the transformation terminationAccording to the method, although the method is simple, under special conditions, such as when a driving queue turns around, the Y-axis coordinate value of a part of track points behind the central point of the front axle of the pilot vehicle is less than 0, if the method provided by the prior art is used, when the first track point F is finished 1k-1 After the coordinate transformation, the coordinate value of the Y axis is less than 0, and the coordinate transformation is immediately terminated, so that subsequent track points are lost, the track resolving failure is caused, and even the vehicle is out of control; in the invention, based on the driving mileage of the pilot vehicle between the track points, the mileage is compared with the normal mileage difference of the following vehicle of the pilot vehicle, and the comparison result is used as the condition for continuing to carry out coordinate transformation of the track points; therefore, the track points between the front axle of the pilot vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle Q can be subjected to coordinate transformation when the wheelless driving queue is driven linearly, turns or turns around, subsequent track resolving and steering control cannot be influenced, and the stability and robustness of control are further improved.
In addition, in the prior art, historical corner information of the pilot vehicle is recorded, and corresponding wheel corner control is performed on the following vehicle based on the mileage difference. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the technology has no error feedback and correction function, and can generate error accumulation along with the running mileage. For example, if the following vehicle has a track deviation, the following vehicle should not be steered according to the historical turning angle of the pilot vehicle at the close position, otherwise the following vehicle may move to a position further away from the ideal track.
Preferably, in the steering control method of the vehicle Q, in the step (4), the track point F is calculated 1k Coordinate value F of 1k (x 1k ,y 1k ) The method comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the steps that a plurality of radio frequency positioning tags are arranged on a pilot vehicle, and in a horizontal projection plane, the radio frequency positioning tags are arranged at the central point F of the front axle of the pilot vehicle 1 As a circle center, r is on a circle with a radius, wherein r is a constant;
a radio frequency positioning base station is arranged on the vehicle Q and is based on the vehicle coordinate system Z Q And calculating the coordinate value of each radio frequency positioning label, wherein the track point F is calculated due to the error between the coordinate calculation value of each label and the true value thereof 1k Coordinate value F of 1k (x 1k ,y 1k ) In time, data filtering is required, and specific methods comprise a least square method, a Hough circle method and the like;
fitting a circle with radius r according to the least square method based on the coordinate values of the radio frequency positioning tags, and recording the coordinate value of the center of the circle as a track point F 1k Coordinate values of (2);
according to the Hough circle method, in the obtained coordinates of the plurality of positioning labels, three coordinate points are selected randomly to determine a circle and the coordinates of the center of the circle; traversing the combination of any three coordinate points, calculating a group of circle center coordinate values in a multiplying way, and taking the group of coordinates as a track point F 1k A sample of coordinate values; according to the Hough circle method, obtaining the circle center coordinate with the highest occurrence probability and recording the circle center coordinate as a track point F 1k Coordinate values of (2); for example, 30 coordinate values can be obtained by 30 positioning tags, 4060 combination modes are provided for any three coordinate points through arrangement and combination, 4060 circle center coordinate values can be obtained as statistical samples, and the coordinate value with the highest occurrence probability can be obtained according to the hough circle method and recorded as the track point F 1k Coordinate values of (2); obviously, based on the probability statistical principle, the more the circle center coordinate values are counted, the more the track point F is obtained by resolving 1k The closer the coordinate value is to the true value, i.e. the trace point F 1k The smaller the resolving error of (2) is; the method can obtain a large number of track point coordinate sample values based on a small number of radio frequency positioning tags, so that the resolving precision of track points can be improved; in addition, the Hoff circle method can remove abnormal coordinate values which deviate from expected values to a large extent and have small occurrence probability, and the track point F can be further improved 1k The resolving precision of (2);
the method has simple components and low cost, and can more accurately acquire the track point F by acquiring the coordinate points of a plurality of radio frequency positioning tags and the combination of the coordinate points, and through numerical calculation and data filtering 1k The coordinate values of (2).
Preferably, in the steering control method of the vehicle Q, in the step (4), the track point F is calculated 1k Coordinate value F of 1k (x 1k ,y 1k ) The other method is as follows:
determining the relative geometric position relationship between front and rear adjacent vehicles in the front Q vehicles, wherein the determination method comprises any one or combination of multiple of visual positioning, radio frequency positioning, ultrasonic positioning, laser positioning and mechanical positioning;
calculating the position in Z according to the obtained relative geometric position relation between the front and the rear adjacent vehicles and the vehicle body dimension chain Q In the coordinate system, F 1 Coordinate value F of 1k (x 1k ,y 1k )。
Preferably, the method further comprises a cooperative driving and braking control method of the vehicle Q, which is as follows:
collecting and resolving control parameters: the pilot vehicle driving brake control unit acquires the travel P of the accelerator pedal of the vehicle in real time 1 And the brake pedal stroke T 1 The data is transmitted to a follow-up vehicle driving brake control unit in a wired or wireless mode; the follow-up vehicle driving braking control unit is used for driving the brake according to the pedal stroke data P 1 、T 1 And calculating the equivalent accelerator pedal travel P of the vehicle Q by an empirical formula Q Equivalent brake pedal stroke T Q (ii) a The follow-up driving brake control unit acquires the actual strokes of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal of a vehicle Q in real time to be P respectively Q0 And T Q0 The deviations of this actual travel from the equivalent travel are referred to as throttle deviation e and brake deviation f, respectively, wherein,
e=|P Q0 -P Q |;
f=|T Q0 -T Q |;
the limit values of the travel deviations e and f are set to e 1 、f 1 And e is a 1 >0,f 1 >0;
The vehicle distance sensor arranged on the vehicle Q measures the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front to be d, and the ideal vehicle distance is set to be d 0 Distance between vehicles limit value d 1 、d 2 And 0 is<d 1 <d 0 <d 2
For calculating equivalent accelerator pedal travel P of vehicle Q relative to pilot vehicle Q And equivalent brake pedal travel T Q The empirical formula of (2) can be obtained through experiments, and the specific method is as follows:

the Hough circle method is characterized in that in the obtained coordinates of a plurality of positioning labels, three coordinate points are selected randomly to determine a circle and the coordinates of the center of the circle; traversing the combination of any three coordinate points, a group of circles can be solved in multiplesThe coordinate value of the center is used as a track point F 1k A sample of coordinate values; according to the Hough circle method, obtaining the circle center coordinate with the highest occurrence probability and recording the circle center coordinate as a track point F 1k Coordinate values of (2); for example, 30 coordinate values can be obtained by 30 positioning tags, 4060 combination modes are provided for any three coordinate points through arrangement and combination, 4060 circle center coordinate values can be obtained as statistical samples, and the coordinate value with the highest occurrence probability can be obtained according to the hough circle method and recorded as the track point F 1k Coordinate values of (2); obviously, based on the probability statistical principle, the more the circle center coordinate values are counted, the more the track point F is obtained by calculation 1k The closer the coordinate value is to the true value, i.e. the trace point F 1k The smaller the resolving error is; according to the method, a large number of coordinate sample values of the track points can be obtained based on a small number of radio frequency positioning tags, so that the resolving precision of the track points can be improved; in addition, the Hough circle method can remove abnormal coordinate values which deviate from expected values to a large extent and have small occurrence probability, and the track point F can be further improved 1k The resolving precision of (2);
the method has simple components and low cost, and can more accurately acquire the track point F by acquiring the coordinate points of a plurality of radio frequency positioning tags and the combination of the coordinate points, and through numerical calculation and data filtering 1k The coordinate values of (2).
The second method is as follows:
determining the relative geometric position relationship between front and rear adjacent vehicles in the front Q vehicles, wherein the determination method comprises any one or combination of multiple of visual positioning, radio frequency positioning, ultrasonic positioning, laser positioning and mechanical positioning;
calculating the position in Z according to the obtained relative geometric position relation between the front and the rear adjacent vehicles and the vehicle body dimension chain Q In the coordinate system, F 1 Coordinate value F of 1k (x 1k ,y 1k )。
(5) Estimate the coordinate system Z from the time k-1 to the time k Q Wherein the angle of rotation of the vehicle Q from the time k-1 to the time k, i.e. the coordinate system Z, is solved Q Is theta Qk ,θ Qk =Δt*ω Qk ,ω Qk For the speed of rotation of the vehicle body, the value of which is measured by a gyroscope mounted on the vehicleAnd at the last moment (k-1 moment), the following vehicle steering controller records the rotating angle of the front wheel Q of the vehicle as C QK-1 Defining the rotation angle to be positive in anticlockwise rotation and negative in clockwise rotation; the speed sensor arranged on the front axle of the vehicle Q can measure the speed of the left and right two wheels, and the average value is taken to obtain the central point F of the axle Q Velocity v at time k Qk (ii) a If the shaft is a driving shaft, the rotating speed of a power mechanism (such as the rotating speed of a motor or an engine) can be measured through a speed sensor, and the central point F of the shaft can be calculated by combining the transmission ratio and the wheel diameter Q Speed v Qk
Referring to FIG. 2, the origin of coordinates F is from time k-1 to time k based on the principle of planar motion of the vehicle Q Along the arc line W by F Qk-1 Move to F Qk ,F Q The velocities of the front point and the rear point are respectively v Qk-1 V and v Qk The two speed directions are tangent to the arc line W, and the included angle between the two speed directions and the Y axis is the wheel rotation angle C Qk-1 And C Qk (ii) a During a short movement time Δ t, the wheel angle C can be assumed Qk-1 And C Qk Approximately equal, velocity v Qk-1 And v Qk Approximately equal, and the included angle between the two speeds is equal to the rotation angle theta of the coordinate system Qk The length of the arc line W and the line segment F Qk-1 F Qk Approximately equal, having a length value Δ t v Qk (ii) a Can prove the line segment F Qk-1 F Qk V and speed v Qk-1 The included angle should be theta Qk 2; based on the above geometric relationship, the coordinate origin F can be calculated Q Wherein:

Y-axis variation b = Δ t × ν Qk *cos(C Qk-1Qk /2);
Simultaneously recording the speed value v of the current k moment Qk The method is used for calculating the driving mileage of the track point pilot vehicle in the next step;
different from the prior art, the resolving process of the coordinate system transformation parameters in the step is based on the vehicle kinematics principle, and is not the broken line motion law commonly adopted in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 3, the motion of the fold line is characterized by moving objectsThe motion track is simplified into a broken line consisting of track line segments, and the motion track is simplified into a straight line segment F in a short time delta t Qk-1 F Qk (ii) a When the object moves, steering is carried out at the intersection point of the track line segments, and the steering angle is equal to the turning angle theta of the coordinate system Qk . Referring back to fig. 2, based on the kinematics principle of the vehicle, in the moving process of the vehicle, the whole vehicle rotates based on the instantaneous center of speed, and during the linear motion, the whole vehicle can be regarded as infinite rotating radius, and each point on the vehicle comprises a front axle central point F Q (origin of coordinates), the motion trails of which are all circular arc lines taking the instantaneous center of speed as the center of a circle; in a short time delta t, the motion track of the vehicle is a circular arc line and is not simplified into a straight line segment, and the steering process is continuously completed in the motion process and is not completed suddenly at a turning point; thus, the origin of coordinates F Q The motion of the coordinate system is simplified into the broken line motion, and the calculation of the coordinate system transformation parameters is carried out based on the broken line motion rule, and the result is not accurate. The invention is based on the vehicle kinematics principle and more conforms to the origin of coordinates F Q The calculation process of the coordinate system transformation parameters is more reasonable, and the result is more accurate.
(6) Coordinate transformation, namely transforming n track points F between the front axle of the pilot vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle Q in a k-1 moment coordinate system 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-n The coordinate values are sequentially converted into coordinate values under a current k moment coordinate system; according to the coordinate transformation equation, the transformed coordinate values of the X axis and the Y axis are respectively as follows:
X 1k-m =(x 1k-m -a)*cosθ QK +(y 1k-m -b)*sinθ QK
Y 1k-m =(y 1k-m -b)*cosθ QK -(x 1k-m -a)*sinθ QK
wherein the coordinate value x on the left side of the equation 1k-m And y 1k-m As a lower trace point F of the time-k coordinate system 1k-m Coordinate value of (2), coordinate value of equation right side x 1k-m And y 1k-m Is a trace point F under a k-1 moment coordinate system 1k-m The coordinate values of (a); m is 1,2, \ 8230 \ n;
need to perform coordinatesThe number n of transformed track points is evaluated by estimating the secondary track points F of the pilot vehicle on the assumption that the speeds of the pilot vehicle and the vehicle Q are approximately equal 1k-m To F 1k Distance traveled S Qm
S Qm =(ν Qk-1Qk-2 +…+ν Qk-m )*Δt;
Setting the mileage difference of two front axles relative to the same datum point as L when the pilot vehicle and the vehicle Q normally run Q When S is Qm >L Q When the vehicle is in a driving state, the value of m is not increased, and n = m, namely, the track point which is not between the front axle of the pilot vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle Q does not influence track calculation and steering control, and coordinate transformation is not needed, so that the calculation resources are saved;
in this step, points of track F 1k-n The initial coordinate values of the three-dimensional coordinate system are solved at the k-n moment, and the coordinate values of the three-dimensional coordinate system are subjected to n times of coordinate transformation to the k moment, so that a certain degree of error accumulation can be generated, but the total transformation times are limited, so that the accumulation of the total error is also limited; in the existing inertial navigation technology, a geodetic coordinate system is generally adopted for track calculation, and uncontrollable track error accumulation can be generated along with the increase of the running time and mileage of a vehicle; under the normal condition, the vehicle gauge class inertia module with higher precision can generate a track error of more than 10 meters after running for 10 kilometers, the error level is completely unacceptable when a vehicle queue runs, and the error of 10 meters means the deviation of 3 lanes, so that unexpected disastrous risks can be caused to vehicles in other lanes in a road; when the vehicle is driven in a queue, a track resolving error of about 10 centimeters is usually allowed; when the method is adopted, the track error is generally positively correlated with the length of a fleet running in a queue, for example, the length of the fleet of 30 meters is taken as an example, the track resolving error can be controlled within 3-5 centimeters under the same sensor precision, and the accumulation of running time and mileage can be avoided;
in addition, when the number n of track points needing coordinate transformation is determined, the existing similarity technology usually takes whether the Y-axis coordinate value of the transformed track points is less than 0 as the condition of transformation termination, and the method is simple but has defects; as shown in FIG. 4, when the train turns around, j track points F behind the front axle of the pilot 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-j The coordinate values of the Y axis are all less than 0, and when the coordinate transformation is carried out on the track points by the method, the first track point F is 1k-1 After coordinate transformation, the Y-axis coordinate value is smaller than 0, so that the coordinate transformation is terminated in advance, the coordinate value of a subsequent track point cannot be obtained continuously, and track calculation failure and even vehicle runaway are caused; in the invention, the method for determining the number n of the track points needing coordinate transformation is based on the track points F of the pilot vehicle which are subjected to coordinate transformation 1k-m To its current position F 1k Actual mileage of S Qm And the mileage S Qm Whether or not it is greater than the mileage difference L Q As the basis for stopping coordinate transformation; therefore, no matter the driving queue runs straight, turns or turns around, the track point F between the front axle of the pilot vehicle and the front axle of the vehicle Q can be measured 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-n Coordinate transformation is carried out, subsequent track calculation and steering control are not influenced, and the stability and robustness of vehicle steering control are further improved;
(7) One track point F obtained based on k time 1k And n track points F obtained at previous moments and with coordinate values transformed to the current k moment coordinate system 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-n N +1 track points fitting the central point F of the front axle of the vehicle Q Q According to an ideal driving track of F Q The deviation of the coordinates (0, 0) of the vehicle front axle and the track is controlled by a following vehicle steering controller to steer a steer-by-wire mechanism arranged on the vehicle front axle so as to lead the center point F of the vehicle front axle Q Running along the track, and recording the steering angle C of the front wheel at the moment Qk Preparing coordinate system transformation parameter calculation for the next moment;
referring to fig. 5, Q =3 is taken as an example, based on the vehicle 3 coordinate system Z 3 With origin of coordinates F 3 (ii) a At the moment k, the central point F of the front axle of the pilot vehicle can be obtained 1 Passing set of coordinate points F 1k And F 1k-1 ,F 1k-2 ,…,F 1k-n And fitting F according to the coordinate values 3 Ideal travel locus R of 3 Tracing point F in the figure 1k-n After the front axle of the vehicle is arranged, the subsequent track points do not influence the steering control of the vehicle, and coordinate transformation is not needed, so that the computing resource is saved; after the track calculation at the moment is finished, the center point of the front axle of the vehicle Q, namely the coordinate origin F is determined 3 (0, 0) deviation from the ideal running track, the following vehicle steering controller controls a steer-by-wire mechanism mounted on the vehicle to steer so that the center point F of the front axle of the vehicle 3 Along the ideal trajectory R 3 Driving, and recording the steering angle C of the front wheel at the same time Qk The method is used for calculating the coordinate transformation parameter of the next moment; when the next time (the time k + 1) is reached, under the coordinate system of the time k +1, a new track point F can be obtained according to the step (4) firstly 1k+1 The coordinates of the vehicle 3 are moving, so that the coordinate system of the vehicle is also moving, and the n +1 track points need to be subjected to coordinate transformation as required to obtain coordinate values of the group of track points at the time of k +1; it is obvious that the points of the track and the corresponding tracks are dynamically changing, but due to the origin of coordinates F 3 The relative deviation from the "dynamic trajectory" is analyzable, so it does not affect the steering control of the vehicle, which is also an important principle innovation of the present invention.
(8) If the vehicle exits the queue running state, the step is ended; and (4) if the vehicle continues to run in the queue, returning to the step (3).
In the steering control method of the vehicle Q, based on the innovation of the algorithm principle, the calculation and steering control of the ideal driving track of the vehicle Q is carried out based on the coordinate system of the vehicle Q without a geodetic coordinate system or analyzing the geographical coordinate information of each vehicle, and the geographical coordinate information is provided by a foundation positioning target or a vehicle path cooperative system in any form, so that the investment of infrastructure can be greatly saved. Taking a foundation positioning magnetic nail with relatively stable reliability as an example, the road reconstruction cost per kilometer is usually measured by tens of millions; although the cost of the centimeter-level precision vehicle-road cooperative RTK positioning system is low, the positioning precision is greatly influenced by factors such as weather and terrain environment, huge potential safety hazards exist, and the requirements on precision and reliability when a vehicle queue runs cannot be met at present. In the method, the positioning and steering control does not need foundation facilities, so the method has wide road adaptability, vehicles can automatically run on a common road in a row, and the method has good flexibility and applicability.

The follow-up vehicle driving and braking control unit controls an accelerator and a brake pedal of the vehicle Q based on the parameters, and specifically comprises driving synchronous control, braking synchronous control, driving feedback control and braking feedback control;
drive synchronous control to control the travel of the drive-by-wire accelerator pedal of the vehicle Q to the equivalent travel P Q
Brake synchronous control, namely controlling the travel of a brake-by-wire pedal of the vehicle Q to an equivalent travel T Q
Driving feedback control when d < d 0 When the accelerator pedal by wire of the vehicle Q is controlled to reduce the accelerator stroke, when d is larger than d 0 When the throttle is in the closed state, the throttle stroke is increased; the specific adjusting control method can adopt a PID method, a sliding mode control method and the like;
brake feedback control when d > d 0 When the brake-by-wire pedal of the vehicle Q is controlled to reduce the brake stroke, when d is less than d 0 When the brake is started, the brake stroke is increased; the specific adjustment control method can adopt a PID method, a sliding mode control method and the like;
as shown in fig. 6, the horizontal axis toward the right side represents the inter-vehicle distance d, the vertical axis toward the upper side represents the accelerator deviation e, and the vertical axis toward the lower side represents the brake deviation f; the specific control execution method comprises the following steps:
when e is>=e 1 And d is 1 <=d<=d 2 In the PC area, the drive synchronous control is executed; the PC area indicates that the distance between vehicles is within the limit value d 1 、d 2 Within, and an ideal value d 0 When the driving strength of the vehicle Q is close to that of the pilot vehicle, but the driving strength of the vehicle Q is greatly different from that of the pilot vehicle, the driving synchronous control is executed to prevent the inter-vehicle distance d from exceedingA limit value is output;
when f is>=f 1 And d is 1 <=d<=d 2 In the BC region in the figure, brake synchronization control is executed; the BC region means that the inter-vehicle distance is within the limit value d 1 、d 2 When the braking intensity difference between the vehicle Q and the pilot vehicle is too large, the synchronous braking control is executed to prevent the vehicle distance d from exceeding the limit value;
when 0 is present<=e<e 1 And d is 1 <=d<=d 2 And P is Q0 >PF of 0, in the figure 1 Region, or when d>d 2 Time, PF in the figure 2 A region that performs drive feedback control; PF (particle Filter) 1 The zone is the spacing between vehicles at the limit value d 1 、d 2 In the method, the driving strength of the vehicle Q is not greatly different from that of the pilot vehicle, and the vehicle Q is in a driving control state, and the driving feedback control is continuously kept; PF (particle Filter) 2 The zone is that the distance between vehicles has exceeded the limit value d 2 When the driving feedback intensity is higher, the driving feedback control is executed to reduce the inter-vehicle distance to a normal value;
when 0 is present<=f<f 1 And d is 1 <=d<=d 2 And T is Q0 >At 0, BF in the figure 1 Region, or when 0<=d<d 1 BF in the figure 2 A region that performs brake feedback control; BF (BF) generator 1 The zone is the spacing between vehicles at the limit value d 1 、d 2 In addition, the braking strength difference between the vehicle Q and the pilot vehicle is not large, and the vehicle Q is in a braking state, and the braking feedback control is continuously maintained; zone BF 2 Means that when the distance between vehicles is less than the limit value d 1 At the moment, the brake feedback strength is higher, and the brake feedback control is executed, so that the distance between the vehicles can be effectively increased to a normal value;
when P is present Q0 =T Q0 =0, and d>=d 0 When the driving is stopped, the driving feedback control is executed; when P is present Q0 =T Q0 =0, and d<d 0 When the brake is started, the brake feedback control is executed; when the vehicle is in a stopped or coasting state, driving or braking control should be performed according to the inter-vehicle distance.
Unlike the method of feedback-controlling the braking driving of the vehicle Q simply by the inter-vehicle distance d, the method has advantages in that,when the pilot vehicle starts quickly, accelerates suddenly and decelerates suddenly, the motion synchronization, the motion coordination and the stable vehicle-to-vehicle distance among the vehicles can be effectively kept. For example, when a pilot vehicle runs normally and suddenly encounters emergency braking, if the vehicle Q performs driving braking feedback control on the vehicle only by means of the inter-vehicle distance d, since the feedback process needs a certain time to reach an expected state, the acceleration and speed change of the vehicle Q lags behind the acceleration and speed change of the pilot vehicle to a large extent, so that the front and rear vehicle distances are suddenly reduced, and even rear-end collision occurs; affecting the stability, safety and cooperativity of the driving queue. The driving and braking control method provided by the invention can acquire the driving and braking information of the pilot vehicle in real time, and when the travel T of the brake pedal of the pilot vehicle is reached 1 When the acceleration is increased rapidly, the following vehicle driving and braking control unit can solve the T corresponding to the vehicle Q in real time 1 Equivalent brake pedal stroke T Q When T is Q Actual brake pedal travel T with vehicle Q Q0 The phase difference exceeds a set value f 1 Meanwhile, the travel of the brake pedal of the vehicle Q is synchronously adjusted to T Q Thereby effectively ensuring the acceleration and speed synchronization of the front and the rear vehicles and the stable inter-vehicle distance; when the vehicle queue normally runs, the actual accelerator pedal travel P of the vehicle Q Q0 Normally greater than zero, actual brake pedal travel T Q0 Should be equal to 0; at the moment, if the pilot vehicle encounters an emergency, the vehicle operation is suddenly switched from the normal accelerator stroke to the brake stroke, and the brake pedal stroke T is 1 Generally larger, to obtain a sufficient braking effect; at this time, if the brake driving of the vehicle Q is feedback-controlled only by the inter-vehicle distance d, the accelerator stroke of the vehicle Q is first reduced by the reduction of the inter-vehicle distance, and when the inter-vehicle distance is smaller than the limit value d 1 When the vehicle is in a rear-end collision state, the vehicle is switched to brake feedback control and the brake stroke is gradually increased, the whole process needs longer feedback time, and the rear-end collision of the front vehicle and the rear vehicle is very easy to cause due to control delay in the state; the method introduces the synchronous control of driving and braking on the basis of feedback control, and can effectively control the occurrence of dangerous conditions. After that, the real-time distance d between the vehicle Q and the front vehicle is used for carrying out feedback control and adjustment on the travel of the accelerator or the brake pedal, so that the motion synchronization and the motion coordination between the vehicles can be further ensuredMeanwhile, the vehicle distance is kept stable.
In conclusion, the queue running vehicle control method abandons a geodetic coordinate system which is usually adopted in the prior art, does not need any physical track, electronic virtual track and vehicle road cooperative facility, creatively provides a novel positioning and steering control technology, accurately calculates the running track in real time and performs steering control based on the vehicle moving coordinate system and the accurate calculation of coordinate transformation parameters, and can realize automatic in-line running of a plurality of vehicles on the same track on a common road; the invention simultaneously optimizes the motion coordination performance between vehicles, combines the synchronous control of driving and braking with the feedback control, further improves the motion coordination consistency between vehicles, more effectively ensures the stable distance between vehicles, and avoids the occurrence of dangerous situations such as rear-end collision of vehicles. The automatic train running of the vehicle can greatly reduce the number of drivers, reduce air resistance, reduce labor cost and energy cost of vehicle use, and can improve the running mileage when being applied to new energy vehicles.
