Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 車輛工程系所 === 99 === Friction torque which exists in the steering system might make the steering wheel unable to return to its center position after negotiating a turn. In order to solve this problem, we employed the linear quadratic regulator to design the return control strategy. A disturbance estimator is designed to estimate the angular velocity of the steering wheel and the disturbance torque. The angle measurement and angular velocity estimation are used for full state feedback. The estimated disturbance torque is used for feedforward compensation. CarSim and the rotational dynamics of the steering wheel are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed control. An EPS experimental platform was established for hardware-in-the-loop verification. Road test is also conducted using a production vehicle with EPS. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control can not only improve the returnability but also achieving damping compensation at the same time.
