5、試驗結果
試驗車輛安裝了普利司通的Potenza S-04輪胎來測試新的控制系統(tǒng)。斜坡轉角輸入的測試結果表明車輛的前后軸輪胎的等效側偏剛度分別為220kN/rad和240kN/rad,附著系數分別為0.99和1.04。直線制動測試結果表明前后軸的有效縱向剛度為450kN??刂破髦械膮礨LA=10m,kp=1/s,kspeed=1000Ns/m。參考路徑設為一個半徑突變的逆時針圓周,從而驗證車輛的路徑跟蹤性能。試驗場地路面為向西傾斜2.5度的干凈柏油路面。
圖8分別是路面附著系數的估計結果和輪胎側偏角跟蹤目標值,圓周半徑在77.5s的時候從18m變?yōu)?0m?;诠烙嫷妮喬担逯祩绕菫?.4度。測量的側偏角比目標值稍大,可能是由于側偏角控制器中轉向力矩的建模存在一定誤差,但是前軸的輪胎力也得到了充分的利用(如圖 6所示)。估計器的路面附著系數估計結果在1和1.1之間,與轉角斜坡輸入工況下的估計結果一致。
圖7是車輛跟蹤路徑時的車速目標值和測量值。較小的kp和較大的kspeed參數對車速跟蹤控制效果更好。如圖 9所示,側向位移誤差在轉向半徑突變后逐漸收斂,并最終穩(wěn)定在1m左右,車輛在目標軌跡的外側。而這部分偏差還需要更深入的研究。

6、結論
試驗數據表明在路徑跟蹤過程中的速度跟蹤控制和轉角控制需要路面附著系數的估計誤差在大約2%以內。然而,基于輪胎側偏角設計的轉角控制能夠有效降低系統(tǒng)對于路面附著系數估計結果精度的依賴。采集到的專業(yè)賽車駕駛員數據指出通過側偏角控制能夠使得不足轉向的車輛更充分地利用輪胎的附著能力,并且可以通過速度反饋來實現路徑跟蹤。
為了驗證這一理念,設計了根據虛擬橫擺角速度控制輸入得到的速度控制量來進行路徑跟蹤。貝葉斯濾波在線估計器和試驗數據表明,即使在路面附著系數不確定的條件下,控制器也能夠很好地跟蹤上圓周路徑。
不管是在賽道競速或者公路上的緊急工況,文章設計的控制架構在極限工況下的無人駕駛都能夠有很好地應用前景。未來的研究將進一步考慮縱向車速控制的建模、不同控制系統(tǒng)對附著系數的靈敏度、變曲率的路徑跟蹤、地形和輪胎的影響、以及路面附著系數不一致的情況。
