Motion control in motor vehicles
A method for controlling actuators acting on vehicle wheels of a motor vehicle comprises ascertaining a force to be brought about on a reference point of the motor vehicle on the basis of driver specifications, ascertaining wheel forces to be brought about on the vehicle wheels to implement the force to be brought about on the reference point of the motor vehicle by means of a first dynamic allocation by model-based predictive control (MPC), ascertaining setpoint values for wheel parameters from the ascertained wheel forces, and actuating the actuators of the motor vehicle so as to implement the setpoint values of the wheel parameters.
1 . A method for controlling actuators acting on vehicle wheels of a motor vehicle comprising:
ascertaining a force to be brought about on a reference point of the motor vehicle on the basis of driver specifications,
ascertaining wheel forces to be brought about on the vehicle wheels to implement the force to be brought about on the reference point of the motor vehicle with a first dynamic allocation by model-based predictive control;
ascertaining setpoint values for wheel parameters from the wheel forces;
actuating the actuators of the motor vehicle so as to implement the setpoint values of the wheel parameters; and
converting the wheel forces with an inverse tire-force model into setpoint variables for torques, wheel slips, rotational speeds and steering angles of the wheels.
2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driver specifications are made available by at least one of a virtual driver and an assistance system.
3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driver specifications are at least one of an acceleration and at least one steering angle.
4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the setpoint values for the wheel parameters are at least one of torques respectively acting on the wheels, slip values of the wheels, rotational speeds of the wheels, and steering angles of the wheels.
5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein implementing a setpoint value for a torque acting on a vehicle wheel further comprises a second dynamic allocation, which includes slip control.
6 . The method as claimed claim 1 , wherein the actuators are at least one of electric motors and friction brakes.
7 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising adapting kinematic setpoint motion variables by way of a virtually controlled single-track model which are taken into account in the first dynamic allocation of the wheel forces.
8 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dynamic allocation of the wheel forces includes driving dynamics control.
9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein ascertaining the wheel forces further comprises ascertaining the wheel forces from a static allocation and feeding the wheel forces to the dynamic allocation as input values.
10 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising arbitrating from the ascertained wheels forces of the static and the dynamic allocation.
11 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first dynamic allocation comprises a saturation of an assigned actuator, a reconfiguration to ensure the error tolerance in the event of failure of the actuator, an increase in the energy efficiency and a minimization of wear.
