Example 1
In this embodiment 1, a method for controlling formation of unmanned vehicles based on a front-end following topology structure is provided, and includes: a soft collision wall virtual point following strategy is provided. The strategy introduces a virtual point between two vehicles, separates the two vehicles in different sections, is a desired point of a rear vehicle, and maintains a time-varying safety distance with a front vehicle; combining the advantages of the soft-hit wall virtual point following strategy and the pilot following structure, and establishing a virtual point-pilot following formation model based on a soft-hit wall mode; based on the front-mounted following topological structure, a sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to control the following vehicle to track the track, speed and angular speed of the piloting vehicle; in the actual environment, uncertainty of speed information of the pilot vehicle caused by packet loss of communication of the pilot vehicle is considered, and the uncertainty can directly influence the uncertainty of the speed information of the virtual point, so that the first following vehicle cannot accurately track the motion state of the pilot vehicle. The invention designs a mapping self-adaptive algorithm for estimating and correcting the speed of a virtual point. The flow chart of the algorithm and the schematic diagram of the front-end following topology formation structure in this embodiment are shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2.
Firstly, an unmanned vehicle formation model is established, which comprises the following steps:
a pilot vehicle (leader), a follower vehicle (follower), and a mathematical model of a virtual point.
Taking a leader and a follower as an example to establish a kinematic mathematical model, and keeping the same kinematic relation between the following vehicles and the vehicles in front, thereby forming the kinematic model of the whole unmanned vehicle formation. The soft wall virtual point pilot following formation model is shown in fig. 3:
in fig. 3, leader is a pilot vehicle and follower is a follower vehicle. The argument time t is omitted for ease of model building and formula derivation. The physical meaning of each variable in fig. 3 is described as follows:
x and y respectively represent the x axis and the y axis in the global coordinate system, and x ', y' respectively representTable x-axis and y-axis of local coordinate system with follower center as origin, G l (x l ,y l ) Is the center point coordinates of the leader, x l Is the abscissa (unit: m), y l Is the ordinate (unit: m), G m (x m ,y m ) Is the coordinates of the virtual point, x m Is the abscissa (unit: m), y m Is the ordinate (unit: m), G f (x f ,y f ) For the center point coordinates of the follower, xf is the abscissa (unit: m), y f In ordinate (unit: m), v l ,v f The speeds of leader and follower (units: m/s), ω, respectively l ,ω f Angular velocities (units: °/s), θ, of the leader and the follower, respectively l ,θ f Yaw angles (units: °) of the leader and the follower, respectively, and L represents a time-varying safety distance (units: m).
(1) The mathematical model of leader is:
wherein the yaw angle θ l ∈(-40°,+40°)。
(2) The mathematical model of the follower is:
wherein the yaw angle θ l ∈(-40°,+40°)。
(3) The geometric relationship between the virtual point and the leader is as follows:
wherein l=0.851 v l +1.5。
(4) Global lateral position error x of a follower with a virtual point e Global longitudinal position error y e And global yaw angle error θ e The method comprises the following steps:
the global error in the x-y coordinate system is converted into a local error in the x '-y' coordinate system, and the x '-y' local coordinate system is built by taking the follower as the center. The coordinate system is converted into:
wherein e 1 Represents a lateral error, e 2 Represented as longitudinal error, e 3 Representing yaw angle error.
The derivation of equation (5) can obtain the error kinematics equation of the follower in the x '-y' coordinate system as follows:
(5) The linear and angular velocities of the virtual points can be obtained by deriving the equation (3):
the linear velocity of the virtual point can be expressed as:
since the geometric centers of the virtual point and the leader are always on a straight line, θ m =θ l The angle of the virtual point is:the angular velocity of the virtual point can be obtained by deriving the angle as follows:
for an actual vehicle, the linear speed v of the vehicle can be controlled only through an accelerator, a brake and a steering wheel f And yaw rate omega f However, in the established kinematic model, there are three controlled variables, namely, three error components shown in the formula (5), which makes the designed control system an underactuated system, so that the controlled variables of the system need to be subjected to dimension reduction treatment. Taking the lateral position error and the yaw angle error into account, the error variable is modified to the form:
after the model is built, the sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to control the followers in consideration of the nonlinear characteristics of the unmanned vehicle formation model, and the sliding mode control algorithm has the advantages of high response speed, insensitivity to system parameter change and external disturbance, simple physical structure and easiness in realization, and meanwhile, no need of on-line identification of system parameters, and is suitable for a nonlinear control system with high requirements on robustness.
In vehicle formation in the lead following topology, since each follower can only obtain position, speed, and angular velocity information of the preceding vehicle, the control laws are designed by taking follower 1 as an example, the control laws of follower 2 and follower 3, and so on. The sliding mode surface is designed as follows:
wherein the method comprises the steps ofAnd alpha is i >0(i=1,2)。
Deriving the formula (10):
bringing formula (10) into formula (11) yields:
the isokinetic approach law was chosen as follows:
wherein the method comprises the steps ofAnd epsilon i >0(i=1,2)。
From equations (12) and (13), the sliding mode control law based on the lead-following topology can be deduced as follows:
v f =v m cose 3 +e 2 ω f1 e 11 sat(s 1 )
because unmanned vehicles are formed as a whole, when the front vehicles are interfered, the interference errors are avoided to be expanded along the direction of the vehicle flow as much as possible, and the chain stability of the vehicle formation is ensured. Error transfer function G between vehicles i (s)=E i+1 (s)/E i (s) (i=1,., n) all satisfy ||g i When the I is less than or equal to 1, the chain stability of unmanned vehicle formation can be ensured.
Let it be at T i At time (i=1, 2,., n), when the sliding surface s of the follower i (i=1, 2, 3) converges, there is a time T m So that when T m =max{T 1 ,T 2 ,...,T n "t.gtoreq.T m When the sliding mode surfaces of the following are all converged to 0, the following formulas are established:
s i (t)=s i+1 (t) (15)
carrying out Laplace transformation by taking the formula (10) into the formula (15), and obtaining the following components:
the error transfer function is:
the modulus of the error transfer function is:
let I G i And (3) the I is less than or equal to 1, and the following steps are obtained:
A i+1 ≥A i (19)
as long as the formula (19) is satisfied when the parameters are set, the chain stability of the unmanned vehicle formation can be ensured.
For the uncertainty of the speed of the leader caused by the influence of communication packet loss, the uncertainty of the speed of the first virtual point can be directly caused, so that the speed information of the virtual point can not be accurately acquired by the follower 1, and the formation control effect is influenced. After the self-adaptive algorithm is adopted to estimate and correct the uncertain parameters (the linear speed of the virtual point), the sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to control the followers based on the front follow topology structure.

since the geometric centers of the virtual point and the leader are always on a straight line, θ m =θ l The angle of the virtual point is:the angular velocity of the virtual point can be obtained by deriving the angle as follows:
for an actual vehicle, the linear speed v of the vehicle can be controlled only through an accelerator, a brake and a steering wheel f And yaw rate omega f However, in the established kinematic model, there are three controlled variables, namely, three error components shown in the formula (5), which makes the designed control system an underactuated system, so that the controlled variables of the system need to be subjected to dimension reduction treatment. Taking the lateral position error and the yaw angle error into account, the error variable is modified to the form:
after the model is built, the sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to control the followers in consideration of the nonlinear characteristics of the unmanned vehicle formation model, and the sliding mode control algorithm has the advantages of high response speed, insensitivity to system parameter change and external disturbance, simple physical structure and easiness in realization, and meanwhile, no need of on-line identification of system parameters, and is suitable for a nonlinear control system with high requirements on robustness.
In vehicle formation in the lead following topology, since each follower can only obtain position, speed, and angular velocity information of the preceding vehicle, the control laws are designed by taking follower 1 as an example, the control laws of follower 2 and follower 3, and so on.

bringing formula (10) into formula (11) yields:

wherein the method comprises the steps ofAnd epsilon i >0(i=1,2)。
From equations (12) and (13), the sliding mode control law based on the lead-following topology can be deduced as follows:
v f =v m cose 3 +e 2 ω f1 e 11 sat(s 1 )
because unmanned vehicles are formed as a whole, when the front vehicles are interfered, the interference errors are avoided to be expanded along the direction of the vehicle flow as much as possible, and the chain stability of the vehicle formation is ensured. Error transfer function G between vehicles i (s)=E i+1 (s)/E i (s) (i=1,., n) all satisfy ||g i When the I is less than or equal to 1, the chain stability of unmanned vehicle formation can be ensured.

the error transfer function is:
the modulus of the error transfer function is:
let I G i And (3) the I is less than or equal to 1, and the following steps are obtained:
A i+1 ≥A i (19)
as long as the formula (19) is satisfied when the parameters are set, the chain stability of the unmanned vehicle formation can be ensured.
For the uncertainty of the speed of the leader caused by the influence of communication packet loss, the uncertainty of the speed of the first virtual point can be directly caused, so that the speed information of the virtual point can not be accurately acquired by the follower 1, and the formation control effect is influenced. After the self-adaptive algorithm is adopted to estimate and correct the uncertain parameters (the linear speed of the virtual point), the sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to control the followers based on the front follow topology structure.
The original self-adaptation law is:
