Outstanding a steering system not only can guarantee passenger and pedestrian's personal safety furthest, can bring good driving experience for the driver moreover. From the birth of automobiles to date, automobile steering systems have experienced: traditional purely mechanical steering systems, hydraulic power steering systems, electro-hydraulic power steering systems and electric power steering systems. At present, electric power steering systems have become popular in passenger vehicles. In recent years, advanced automobile steering technologies such as a front wheel active steering technology and a steer-by-wire technology have become research hotspots of various manufacturers and scientific research institutes. Currently, front wheel active steering systems have been introduced by bmw corporation, while steer-by-wire systems are introduced by japanese corporation, indicating that these advanced automotive steering technologies are being gradually put to industrialization. The all-wheel independent driving-independent steering vehicle is a novel vehicle developed in the international automobile industry in recent years, and an axle connecting left and right wheels in the traditional vehicle is replaced by a novel wheel independent driving-braking-steering mechanism, so that the vehicle obtains driving redundancy, and the small-turning-radius steering of the vehicle is realized. Each wheel can independently determine the optimal longitudinal slip rate and the optimal slip angle operating point according to the condition change of the road surface, thereby providing the optimal longitudinal and lateral control force.
The prior patent with the publication number of CN102030007B discloses a method for obtaining the whole vehicle dynamic control quantity of an independent driving-independent steering vehicle. According to the technical scheme, the vehicle state information data required by the vehicle dynamics control is obtained by collecting the driving operation data of a driver such as the steering wheel angle, the opening angle of an accelerator pedal, the opening angle of a brake pedal and the like, collecting the basic information of vehicle kinematics and dynamics and combining an information fusion method. And then constructing a vehicle driving expert pattern library according to the data to generate a complete vehicle dynamics control target expected value, and judging and processing according to the feasibility of the complete vehicle dynamics control quantity to obtain the complete vehicle dynamics control quantity. The technical scheme realizes a control algorithm of four-wheel independent steering.
