Abstract:

A subsystem-coupled tractor-trailer articulation dynamic modeling method for autonomous driving trucks was proposed to meet the high-precision tractor-trailer articulation dynamic modeling requirements for autonomous driving simulation testing. Firstly, based on the tractor-trailer articulation relationship, an accurate kinematic description of trucks was carried out. According to the kinematic relationship between the tractor and trailer of autonomous driving trucks, the lateral, longitudinal, and yaw dynamics models of the tractor and trailer were established using Newtonian mechanics. Considering the control requirements of autonomous driving simulation testing, the drive, brake, tire, steering, and aerodynamic subsystems were described separately. Secondly, considering the variability of the loading quality of trucks, the position of the center of mass and the moment of inertia of the truck were calculated, and the vertical load of the tire was obtained based on assumptions, completing the construction of the coupled dynamics model of the entire subsystem. And numerical simulations were conducted under emergency braking and double shift line conditions. The accuracy was compared with TruckSim. Aiming at the port environment, a virtual simulation system was established based on the truck dynamics model. The results show that the RMSE is below 0.05 when the accuracy was compared with TruckSim; Under the port environment, the maximum deviation in path tracking testing was less than 0.6 m, indicating that this method can accurately describe the dynamic response of the container truck under different operating conditions.
