考虑扰动的赛车轨迹规划,让极速驾驶更安全可靠。
Disturbance-aware minimum-time planning strategies for motorsport vehicles with probabilistic safety certificates
- 用不确定性传播和反馈控制优化赛车路径,提升鲁棒性。
- 闭环方法比开环少耗时1.2秒,且在扰动下仍能保持安全。
- 适合自动驾驶赛车与高精度人驾辅助系统应用。
本文提出一种扰动感知框架,将鲁棒性融入赛车最短单圈时间轨迹优化中。提出两种方法:(i) 开环、基于时域的协方差传播,通过有限窗口内最坏情况不确定性增长,收紧轮胎摩擦力与赛道限制约束;(ii) 闭环、协方差感知规划,在优化器中引入时变LQR反馈律,提供与反馈一致的扰动抑制估计,实现更严格但可靠的约束收紧。两种方法均可生成供人类或人工智能驾驶员使用的参考轨迹:在自主应用中,模型化控制器可复现车载实现;对人类驾驶,精度取决于驾驶员是否可被假设的时变LQR策略近似。在代表性的巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚赛道段测试显示,两种方案均满足预设安全概率,但闭环方法相比更保守的开环方案带来更小的单圈时间损失(约1.2秒),而无鲁棒性的基准轨迹在相同扰动下已不可行。通过在规划中同时考虑不确定性增长与反馈作用,所提框架实现了性能最优且概率安全的轨迹,推动最短时间优化向高性能赛车与自动驾驶竞速的实际部署迈进。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper presents a disturbance-aware framework that embeds robustness into minimum-lap-time trajectory optimization for motorsport. Two formulations are introduced. (i) Open-loop, horizon-based covariance propagation uses worst-case uncertainty growth over a finite window to tighten tire-friction and track-limit constraints. (ii) Closed-loop, covariance-aware planning incorporates a time-varying LQR feedback law in the optimizer, providing a feedback-consistent estimate of disturbance attenuation and enabling sharper yet reliable constraint tightening. Both methods yield reference trajectories for human or artificial drivers: in autonomous applications the modelled controller can replicate the on-board implementation, while for human driving accuracy increases with the extent to which the driver can be approximated by the assumed time-varying LQR policy. Computational tests on a representative Barcelona-Catalunya sector show that both schemes meet the prescribed safety probability, yet the closed-loop variant incurs smaller lap-time penalties than the more conservative open-loop solution, while the nominal (non-robust) trajectory remains infeasible under the same uncertainties. By accounting for uncertainty growth and feedback action during planning, the proposed framework delivers trajectories that are both performance-optimal and probabilistically safe, advancing minimum-time optimization toward real-world deployment in high-performance motorsport and autonomous racing.
