Detailed Description

The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not restrictive of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only the portions related to the related invention are shown in the drawings.

It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an EPS zero compensation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The execution subject of the application is a terminal, a server or a processor with a computing function. The present application will be described by taking an example of applying the method to an unmanned Vehicle, and when the method is applied to an unmanned Vehicle, an execution subject of the method is an electric Vehicle Control Unit (AVCU), that is, a central processing Unit of the unmanned Vehicle corresponds to a "brain" of the unmanned Vehicle. As shown in fig. 1, the present application includes the steps of:

step 101, when the vehicle runs on the ideal path, acquiring a transverse distance value under each control period, wherein the transverse distance is the distance between the midpoint of the vehicle and the ideal path.

For a vehicle with a zero point compensation angle of the EPS to be calibrated, automatic driving data of the vehicle in a distance of an ideal path can be recorded, wherein the automatic driving data comprises upper-layer planned path information and positioning information. In the planning path information, a plurality of path points of the vehicle on an ideal path are planned, each path point comprises a speed and a direction, and for the positioning information, real-time vehicle position information of the vehicle can be included. The calculation of the lateral distance value of each control cycle of the vehicle can be carried out in real time through a plurality of path points on the ideal path and the real-time position of the vehicle, and the calculation is specifically as follows:

determining a first path point and a second path point according to the middle point and the ideal path of the vehicle; the first path point and the second path point are path points which are closest to the middle point on the ideal path;

multiplying the first direction vector by the second direction vector, and dividing by the distance between the first path point and the second path point to obtain a transverse deviation value; the first direction vector is a direction vector of the midpoint and the first path point, and the second direction vector is a direction vector of the midpoint and the second path point.

In one example, assuming that the position of the midpoint of the vehicle is point O, the position of the first path point on the ideal path is a, and the position of the second path point is B, one lateral distance value calculated is as follows:

wherein, before step 110, the method further comprises: and a step of judging whether the vehicle meets the calibration condition, and if the vehicle meets the calibration condition, executing the step 101.

The calibration condition is met, namely, the vehicle runs on a straight road in an automatic driving state, and upper nodes such as the sensing module, the positioning module and the path planning module are all normal. The normal standard may be that the initialization state is normal, and each node is in a non-failure state. In the fault state, the AVCU receives fault information sent by the node.

And 102, smoothing the transverse distance values of the plurality of control periods to obtain the smoothed transverse distance value of each control period.

Specifically, for the lateral distance value of each control period, there may be jitter in the lateral distance value due to other objective conditions, and therefore, the sliding average smoothing process may be performed according to a preset smoothing window to obtain the smoothed lateral distance value of each control period. The specific formula is as follows:

d_s(1)＝d(1)

d_s(2)＝(d(1)+d(2)+d(3))/3

d_s(3)＝(d(1)+d(2)+d(3)+d(4)+d(5))/5

.......

where N is a defined smoothing window, and the values of N include, but are not limited to, 5 and 7. By way of example and not limitation, taking N ═ 5 as an example, when the smoothed lateral distance value of the first control period is calculated, only one lateral distance value is provided, when the smoothed lateral distance value of the second control period is calculated, one lateral distance value is found in each of the control periods before and after the second control period, and the average value is divided by 3, the smoothed lateral distance value of the second control period can be obtained, when the smoothed lateral distance value of the third control period is calculated, the lateral distance values of two control periods before and after the third control period are taken to form a window of exactly 5 values, when the smoothed lateral distance value of the fourth control period is calculated, the lateral distance values of two control periods before and after the fourth control period are taken to form an average of 5 numerical values, and so on. The transverse distance values after the smoothing processing of the last two control periods have the same processing mode as the transverse distance values after the smoothing processing of the first and second offset control periods. Assuming that there are n control cycles of the smoothed lateral distance values, the specific calculation process is as follows:

d_s(1)＝d(1)

d_s(2)＝(d(1)+d(2)+d(3))/3

d_s(3)＝(d(1)+d(2)+d(3)+d(4)+d(5))/5

d_s(4)＝(d(2)+d(3)+d(4)+d(5)+d(6))/5

.......

d_s(n-2)＝(d(n-4)+d(n-3)+d(n-2)+d(n-1)+d(n))/5

d_s(n-1)＝(d(n-2)+d(n-1)+d(n))/3

d_s(n)＝d(n)

the final result is the smoothed lateral distance value for each control cycle. Here, the control period may be understood as follows, the control period i may be related to a sampling frequency, the sampling frequency is a frequency when the vehicle control unit performs the arithmetic processing, and when the sampling frequency is 20Hz, i ═ 1 represents a time that has elapsed for 0.05s, and i ═ 2 represents a time that has elapsed for 0.1 s.

And 103, calculating the longitudinal distance value of the vehicle in each control period according to the speed of the vehicle running at a constant speed and the number of the passed control periods.

Specifically, the premise of calibration is that the vehicle is assumed to move at a constant speed, and therefore, the longitudinal distance value of the vehicle in the current control period is obtained by multiplying the speed of the vehicle running at the constant speed by the number of the currently passed control periods. Specifically, the longitudinal distance value of each control cycle may be calculated according to the following formula.

x＝v*t

Wherein, X is a longitudinal distance value, v is a speed of the vehicle running at a constant speed, t is time, and t is i 0.05.

Taking 1m/s as an example, the vertical distance value is 0.05m when i is 1, the vertical distance value is 0.1m when i is 2, and so on …, the vertical distance value corresponding to each control cycle can be calculated.

And 104, performing linear fitting according to the transverse distance value after the smoothing processing of each control period and the corresponding longitudinal distance value of each control period to obtain a linear relation between the longitudinal distance value and the transverse distance value after the smoothing processing.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, in an ideal state, the vehicle may go straight, but the actual traveling path of the vehicle may be shifted from the ideal path due to the misalignment of the zero point of the EPS. And fitting by using the longitudinal distance value of each control period as an abscissa and the transverse distance value after smoothing processing of the corresponding control period as an ordinate through a least square method or a point-slope method to obtain a linear relation between the longitudinal distance value and the transverse distance value, wherein the linear relation can be represented by a first parameter and a second parameter.

The zero point compensation angle of the EPS is generally in a small angle state, fitting may be performed by a least square method or a point-slope method to obtain a linear relationship between the longitudinal distance value and the transverse distance value after the smoothing processing, see fig. 3, and after performing the linear fitting, the obtained first parameter is K and the second parameter is D. The relationship between the longitudinal distance value and the smoothed transverse distance value can be expressed by the following formula:

d_s＝K*X+D

X＝v*t＝v*i*0.05

wherein d is_sFor the smoothed lateral distance value, i is the control period, and v is the speed at which the vehicle is traveling.

And 105, calculating a zero compensation angle of the EPS according to the first parameter in the linear relation and a preset steering wheel transmission ratio.

Specifically, the linear relationship between the longitudinal distance value and the transverse distance value after the smoothing process is obtained through calculation, so that the zero point compensation angle of the EPS can be obtained by taking the inverse of the tangent value of the first parameter in the calculated linear relationship and multiplying the inverse by the steering wheel transmission ratio.

θ＝tan^-1(K)*k

And theta is a zero point compensation angle of the EPS, K is a first parameter, and K is a steering wheel transmission ratio.

Further, for the calculated zero point compensation angle of the EPS, it is necessary to verify whether the zero point compensation angle meets the requirement of rationality, and the specific manner is as follows:

and 106, compensating the steering control angle according to the zero point compensation angle of the EPS to obtain the compensated steering control angle.

Specifically, the steering control angle is subjected to feedforward compensation through the zero point compensation angle of the EPS, the compensated steering control angle is obtained, and the vehicle is subjected to steering control through the compensated steering control angle, and the actual driving path subjected to steering control through the compensated steering control angle is obtained.

And step 107, calculating the minimum residual error according to the path point of the actual driving path obtained by performing steering control at the compensated steering control angle during the driving of the vehicle and the path point on the preset automatic driving verification path.

Specifically, the actual driving path has a plurality of path points, and for all the path points, the abscissa of each path point in the preset automatic driving verification path may be subtracted according to the abscissa of each path point in the actual driving path, and then squared, and then added, and the ordinate of each path point in the preset automatic driving verification path is subtracted from the ordinate of each path point in the actual driving path, and then squared, and summed, so as to obtain the minimum residual value. The preset automatic driving verification path is a planned path planned after the vehicle performs zero point compensation of the EPS and performs path planning. And each actually-driven path point corresponds to each path point in the preset automatic driving verification path one by one through a control period.

The specific formula is as follows:

wherein p (i) is an abscissa of a path point actually traveled, n (i) is an ordinate of a path point actually traveled, x (i) is an abscissa of a path point of a preset automatic driving verification path, y (i) is an ordinate of a path point of a preset automatic driving verification path,_Nfor the minimum residual value, i is the number of control cycles, and M is the total number of control cycles after the predetermined automatic driving verification path has been traveled.

And 108, when the minimum residual error is smaller than the preset acceptable deviation, determining that the zero compensation angle of the EPS passes the verification.

And step 109, generating a flag bit used for identifying that the zero compensation angle of the EPS passes the verification.

And step 110, writing the zero compensation angle of the EPS into a calibration file.

In particular, the acceptable deviation may be set when_NWhen the zero compensation angle of the EPS is less than or equal to the preset zero compensation angle, determining that the zero compensation angle of the EPS passes verification to generate a zone bit, and when the zero compensation angle is less than or equal to the preset zero compensation angle, determining that the zero compensation angle of the EPS passes verification_NIf yes, the calculated zero point compensation angle of the EPS is not verified, another zone bit different from the zone bit is generated, and meanwhile, the other zone bit is used for calculating the zero point compensation angle of the EPSAnd returning the vehicle to the starting point of the path planning, and calibrating the zero compensation angle of the EPS again.

And then, the zero point compensation angle of the EPS which passes the verification can be written into a calibration file, so that the zero point compensation angle of the EPS can be called at any time to compensate the steering control angle in the automatic driving process of the vehicle.

The flag bits that pass the verification may be "true" or "1", and the flag bits that do not pass the verification may be "false" or "0". For those that do not pass the verification, steps 101-108 may be continued until the verification passes.

By applying the zero compensation method of the EPS provided by the embodiment of the invention, zero compensation angles of EPS of different vehicles can be calibrated, personnel and time investment are reduced, the steering control angle of the vehicle is compensated through the compensated EPS zero compensation angle, the effectiveness of a control algorithm can be improved, and the feedforward mode is superior to the feedback mode in time.
