Next, a class of redundant sensors is set up for each distributed observer node to obtain more output measurement samples.

Incorporating intelligent driving technology to develop a controllable scheme that surpasses stability constraints and maintains the vehicle in a drift state is crucial for enhancing driving safety. Therefore, based on the model characteristics of distributed drive three-axle(DDTA) commercial vehicles, a two-stage auxiliary drift controller is proposed. In the auxiliary drift stage, time-varying model predictive control (MPC) is employed to track the desired states and achieve steady-state drift path tracking under extreme working conditions. A two-stage controller switching strategy is implemented based on road information. In the yaw stability control stage, an advanced auxiliary system facilitates cooperative control to smoothly restore tire attachment and vehicle yaw. Simulation results demonstrate that the control strategy ensures consistent path tracking performance even when adhesion of the middle and rear axle saturates and peak vehicle sideslip angle reaches 32.09°. After completing the drifting, vehicle yaw successfully returns to a stable state. Subsequently, miniaturized vehicle tests qualitatively analyze relevant conclusions by elucidating transient instability evolution in vehicles subjected to steering and distributed drive. The controllable stability boundary of the vehicle is thus expanded, thereby enhancing the engineering feasibility of drift technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14660,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":"153 ","pages":"Pages 404-419"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019057824003550/pdfft?md5=9be8a4d49830094bd1257065707de2b9&pid=1-s2.0-S0019057824003550-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141851623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This 2-DOF controller includes a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to enhance load disturbance rejection performance and a set-point filter to improve servo response performance. The main PID controller parameters are expressed as process model parameters and a single adjustment variable, while the set-point filter is composed of PID controller parameters with weighted factors. The adjustment variable is tuned to achieve an optimal balance between response performance and robustness, based on the maximum magnitude of the sensitivity function (Ms). Controller parameters for various Ms values and guidelines for setting these parameters are provided in a consistent formulaic form using a curve-fitting method. These parameter-setting formulas facilitate the accurate implementation of PID controllers with specified Ms values and allow the controller design to be extended to processes with larger dimensionless time delays for a given Ms value. Although a 2-DOF controller was proposed, the adjustment variable for setting the parameters of the main PID controller and the set-point filter was solely the desired time constant. The proposed method was applied to various integrating processes with time delays, and its performance was compared with existing methods reported in the literature, based on performance indices such as settling time, overshoot, integral of absolute error, total variation in input usage, and global performance index.

The proposed algorithm not only accommodates the deadzone constraints on control inputs but also considers the actuator's saturation limits in control input calculations. It introduces a trajectory tracking mechanism that, instead of directly following the primary trajectory, adheres to an alternative trajectory capable of stable tracking, gradually converging to the main trajectory while accounting for operational constraints. In practical control systems, the actuator's input-output relationship is often nonlinear and unknown, requiring inversion for model-based control. This paper employs an offline-trained neural network trained on synthetic data to identify and approximate the actuator's behavior. To optimize the control system's performance and ensure stability during sudden error changes, the control input operates in two modes: position and velocity control. This dual-mode control allows for continuous switching between the two, facilitated by an innovative optimization technique based on the gradient descent method with a variable step size.
