| Summary: | The drive torque of each wheel hub motor of a four-wheel independent wire-controlled steering electric vehicle is independently controllable, representing a typical over-actuated system. Through optimizing the distribution of the drive torque of each wheel, fault-tolerant control can be realized. In this paper, the four-wheel independent wire-controlled steering electric vehicle is taken as the research object, aiming at the collaborative control problem of trajectory tracking and yaw stability when the actuator of the by-wire steering system fails, a fault-tolerant control method based on the synergy of differential steering and direct yaw moment is proposed. This approach adopts a hierarchical control system. The front wheel controller predicts the necessary steering angle in accordance with a linear model and addresses the requirements of the front wheels and additional torque. Subsequently, considering the uncertainties in the drive control system and the complexities of the road obstacle model, the differential steering torque is computed via the sliding mode control method; the lower-level controller implements the torque optimization distribution strategy based on the quadratic programming algorithm. Finally, the validity of this approach under multiple working conditions was verified via CarSim 2019 and MATLAB R2023b/Simulink simulation experiments. |
