Based on the four-wheel steering system concept introduced in the 1980s, most automobile makers since the 1990s developed / produced a four-wheel steering system based on a rear-wheel steering system having a mechanical or hydraulic operating structure. However, It failed to be popularized. However, as the demand for reduction of fuel consumption, expansion of EV / HEV, and improvement of safety have been increased, development of active rear wheel steering system (RWS, Rear Wheel Steering) has been actively progressed .
The objective of the development of a four-wheel steering system including an active rear-wheel steering system is to improve the maneuverability of a large-sized vehicle by reducing the turning radius at low-speed turning through the reverse-phase control (relative to the front- (Yaw-rate) and side-slip (yaw-rate) at high-speed turning through the front wheel steering angle (as compared to the front wheel steering direction), thereby determining the rear wheel steering mode using the information of various vehicles, And the control method of the rear wheel steering system is composed of control methods such as open-loop control (feed forward control) and closed-loop control (feedback control). In particular, in the control method of the open-loop control of the rear-wheel steering system, the control mode of the steady-state-based rear-wheel steering system is determined using the vehicle speed and the steering angle, .
On the other hand, in a situation where there is an abnormality in the sensor mounted on the vehicle and the signals generated therefrom, if the excessive steering input of the driver or the sudden change of the driving condition occurs, the stability of the driving performance of the vehicle may be deteriorated.
The following prior art document relates to a steering angle estimating method of a four-wheel drive vehicle, which can perform stable four-wheel drive control through steering angle estimation even when the steering angle sensor fails or the steering angle sensor is not applied in a four- A technique for estimating a steering angle of a four-wheel drive vehicle is disclosed, and does not include the technical gist of the present invention.
A control method of an active rear wheel steering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention aims to solve the following problems.
If some sensors / signals (driver's steering angle) are abnormal and other sensors / signals (vehicle speed, yaw rate, lateral acceleration etc) are normal and rear-wheel steering system is able to operate normally, excessive steering input of the driver or sudden change of driving conditions De-grade yaw damping control according to the judgment condition is performed when a sudden change of the vehicle condition (such as excessive yaw rate variation) occurs due to various situations, so that the vehicle stability can be ensured .
The solution to the problem of the present invention is not limited to those mentioned above, and other solutions not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
A method of controlling an active rear wheel steering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes acquiring steering angle signals, vehicle speed signals, and yaw rate signals from a steering angle sensor, a wheel speed sensor, and a yaw rate sensor, respectively. Determining whether the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal obtained are normal; Setting an operation mode of the rear wheel steering device based on whether the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal are normal; And calculating a rear wheel target steering angle based on the set operation mode.
It is preferable to further include determining whether the rear wheel steering apparatus is normal between the step of determining whether the signals are normal or not and the step of setting an operation mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus.
A step of setting an operation mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus is performed when it is determined that the rear wheel steering apparatus is normal and the operation of the rear wheel steering apparatus is stopped when it is determined that the rear wheel steering apparatus is abnormal, It is preferable to light the warning lamp.
Wherein the step of setting the operating mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus includes setting a normal control mode when it is determined that both the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal are normal; Setting a degrade control mode when it is determined that there is an abnormality in one of the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal; And stopping the operation of the rear wheel steering device or lighting a warning light mounted on the vehicle when it is determined that there is an abnormality in at least two of the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal.
Determining whether a signal judged to be abnormal is a steering angle signal after the operation mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus is set to a de-gradation control mode; Determining whether the yaw rate change amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value; And setting a yaw damping control mode based on the determination result.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rear wheel steering apparatus for implementing a control method of an active rear wheel steering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electronic control unit (ECU) 120 for controlling the operation of the engine.
The configuration of the active rear
The
A control method of the active rear wheel steering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling an active rear wheel steering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention in a time-series manner. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating details of steps of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the control method of the active rear wheel steering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step S100 of obtaining a sensor signal, a step S200 of determining whether the sensor signal is normal, (S300) of setting an operating mode of the rear wheels (S400) and calculating a rear wheel target steering angle (S400).
The step S100 of obtaining the sensor signal is a step of acquiring the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal and the yaw rate signal from the steering angle sensor, the
Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, a step S250 of determining whether the rear wheel steering apparatus is normal is performed between a step S200 of determining whether the signals are normal or not and a step S300 of setting an operation mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus. Step S250 of determining whether or not the rear wheel steering apparatus is normal may be performed before the step S100 of acquiring the sensor signal, and may be performed by acquiring the sensor signal S100, (Step S200) of determining whether or not the mobile stations are normal. If it is determined that there is no abnormality in the rear-wheel steering apparatus in the step S250 of determining whether or not the rear-wheel steering apparatus is abnormal, a subsequent step is performed. If it is determined that there is an abnormality, A step S260 is performed in which the operation of the steering apparatus is stopped or the alarms mounted on the vehicle are turned on.
Hereinafter, the step S300 of setting the operation mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus will be described in detail with reference to FIG. First, the setting of the operating mode of the rear wheel steering apparatus is performed on the assumption that the rear wheel steering apparatus is determined to be normal in the step S250 of determining whether the rear wheel steering apparatus is normal. First, it is determined whether there are any abnormal signals among the signals obtained from the sensors, i.e., the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal (S310). If it is determined that all three signals are normal, the control mode is set to the normal control mode (S320), and the control mode such as the in-phase control / reverse phase control generally performed in the control of the rear wheel steering device is discriminated A follow-up step will proceed. If it is determined that at least two signals among the three signals are abnormal, it is determined that there is a fatal defect, so that the operation of the rear wheel steering device is stopped or the warning signals mounted on the vehicle are turned on (S260).
Meanwhile, when it is determined that two of the three signals are normal and only one signal is abnormal, a step S330 is performed in which the control mode is set to the de-grade control mode. When the control mode is set to the degrade control mode, step S340 of determining whether any of the steering angle signal, the vehicle speed signal, and the yaw rate signal is abnormal is performed. The control mode such as Open-Loop Control (Feed Forward Control) may be set (S370). On the other hand, if the signal judged to be abnormal is a steering angle signal, a step of calculating a yaw rate change amount per reference time and determining whether the calculated yaw rate change amount per reference time exceeds a preset value (a) do. If it is determined that the yaw rate change amount per reference time does not exceed the preset value (a), the control mode such as the above-described Open Loop Control can be set (S370). If it is determined that the predetermined value (a) The control mode is set to the yaw damping control mode (S360).
When the control mode is set to the yaw-damping control mode, it is necessary to calculate the yaw-damping control amount to be reflected in the rear wheel target steering angle, which is designed to be calculated in the direction of damping control of the yaw rate sensor or a change in yaw rate signal generated therefrom And the yaw-damping control amount should be calculated using at least one of a yaw rate change amount per unit time, a yaw rate magnitude, a vehicle speed, and a lateral acceleration. For example, it would be possible to calculate the yaw-damping control amount using a second-order system control (mass-spring damper) for the derivative time element of the yaw rate signal.
Accordingly, when some problems occur in the sensors mounted on the rear-wheel steering system or signals obtained from the rear-wheel steering system, the normal control mode or the yaw-attenuation mode is performed as necessary without immediately stopping the operation of the rear- It is possible to expect an effect that both the driver's convenience and the driving stability can be simultaneously achieved.

Therefore, it is to be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention but to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
