The Roll Stability Analysis of Semi-Trailer Based on the Wheel Force

It is different for the liquid tank semi-trailer to keep roll stability during turning or emergency voidance,and that may cause serious accidents.Although the scholars did lots of research about the roll stability of liquid tank semi-trailer in theory by calculating and simulation,how to make an effective early warning of rollover is still unsolved in practice.The reasons include the complex driving condition and the difficulty of the vehicle parameter obtaining.The feasible method used currently is evaluating the roll stability of a liquid tank semi-trailer by the lateral acceleration or the attitude of the vehicle.Unfortunately,the lateral acceleration is more useful for sideslip rather than rollover,and the attitude is a kind of posterior way,which means it is hard to take measures to cope with the rollover accident when the attitude exceeds the safety threshold.Considering the movement of the vehicle is totally caused by the wheel force,the rollover could also be predicted by the changing of the wheel force.Therefore,in this paper,we developed a method to analyze the roll stability by the vertical wheel force.A thorough experiment environment is established,and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in real driving conditions.

极限工况车辆非线性模糊MPC控制

针对应急转向下车辆的横摆稳定性和侧倾稳定性,研究前轮主动转向(active front-wheel steering,AFS)和直接横摆力矩(direct yaw-moment control,DYC)的非线性模型预测MPC集成控制。考虑轮胎侧偏刚度非线性变化,采用Takagi-Sugeon方法(T-S)建立4个车辆横摆-侧倾线性子系统,结合模糊观测器实时获取轮胎动态参数。为消除侧倾稳定性能约束,在T-S框架下建立改进横摆理想参考模型,引入侧倾稳定指标约束期望横摆角速度。根据横摆角速度、质心侧偏角、侧倾姿态的跟踪偏差和控制输入建立二次型评价函数,以驾驶员转向扰动为评价函数附加项,构建无限预测时域MPC最优性能指标,基于分布补偿方法设计非线性系统的模糊控制器MPC-TS,并根据轮胎侧偏特性设计自适应主动转向约束。通过LMIs方法将无限时域的非线性MPC控制转化凸优化过程,推导子系统转向扰动最小值问题的线性不等式。最后联合Trucksim-Simulink软件进行仿真测试,以Sine with Dwell和Fishhook曲线为驾驶员输入模拟应急转向过程,结果表明:在驾驶员应急转向的强非线性过程,MPC-TS方法能够显著增强横摆稳定性和侧倾稳定性,并适应低附和高附着路面。

重型半挂车ADAMS建模及极限工况仿真

在ADAMS/car下建立重型半挂车模型,并选取双移线这一典型工况,在不同附着系数路面上对极限工况下重型半挂车在不同车速时的侧翻、折叠和挂车摆振问题进行了稳定机理分析。结果表明,重型半挂车辆在附着系数较高的良好路面上容易发生侧倾失稳,而在附着系数较低的湿滑路面上则更容易发生横摆和折叠失稳。提出了相应的改进措施。
