Description
Summary:Operating environment of open-pit mine transportation vehicles is complex and requirements for lateral tracking controllers are high. In this paper, a lateral nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy is proposed for the phenomenon that lateral error and yaw angle error of open-pit mine transportation vehicles are prone to be large in complex scenarios. Firstly, a lateral kinematics model is established and the model is discretized and the influence of lateral error, yaw angle error and steering angle change rate is considered in the objective function. Then, according to the complex and changeable characteristics of the working conditions, adaptive weight factors of objective function depending on speed are designed. When designing constraints, it considers steering capability constraints of steering gear, including the maximum steering angle,maximum steering angular velocity and steering delay, and establishes a lateral NMPC problem model. Mine transportation vehicles adopting the proposed NMPC control strategy have been tested on high-speed straight line, large-curvature turning line, S-shaped line and reversing line in Shenyan Xiwan open-pit coal mine. The results show that its path tracking accuracy is high, the lateral error is controlled within 0.25 m, and the yaw angle error is controlled within 4°, which verifies the effectiveness of the control strategy.
