Methods, systems, and computer program products for tire slip angle limiting in a steering control system

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for tire slip angle limiting in a steering control system for a vehicle are provided. The method includes calculating a first steering augmentation angle from a vehicle speed and a handwheel angle. The method further includes calculating an upper bound angle limit and a lower bound angle limit as functions of a vehicle slip angle and a tire slip angle limit. The method also includes bounding the sum of the handwheel angle plus the first steering augmentation angle between the upper bound angle limit and the lower bound angle limit to produce a first bounded angle. The method additionally includes subtracting the sum of the handwheel angle plus the first steering augmentation angle from the first bounded angle to produce a first limiting function, and producing a motor angle command by adding the first limiting function plus the first steering augmentation angle.
