在自动驾驶竞速,特别是公式学生无人驾驶竞赛中,精确规划赛车目标速度对实现优异圈速和稳定驾驶行为至关重要。尤其在高速工况下,速度规划(VP)需实时考虑赛道布局、环境影响、机械公差及控制误差等多重因素,极具挑战性。本文提出一种新型自适应速度规划方法,通过间接从车辆稳定性推导出连续的缩放因子,反映有效胎-地交互作用并涵盖控制误差影响。基于此,构建连续摩擦图谱,作为鲁棒、自适应的速度优化基础,兼顾车辆与环境极限。该方法在真实公式学生赛车上验证,十圈平均圈速提升35%,较非自适应方法平均提高8%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In autonomous racing, especially in competitions such as Formula Student Driverless, precise planning of the target velocity of a race car is crucial for competitive lap times and stable driving behavior. Especially at high speeds, Velocity Planning (VP) is a significant challenge as it has to be performed in real time, taking into account track layouts, environmental influences, mechanical tolerances, and the resulting control inaccuracies. In this paper, we present a novel approach to VP that dynamically adapts to such changing conditions. Instead of estimating the physical Tire-Road Friction Coefficient (TRFC), a continuous scaling factor is inferred indirectly from vehicle stability. This factor not only reflects the effective tire-road interaction but also captures effects of control inaccuracies. From this, we generate a continuous friction map, which serves as a robust, adaptive basis for computing the optimal target speed, accounting for both vehicle and environmental limits. Our proposed approach was evaluated on a real Formula Student race car, showing a lap time improvement of 35 % over ten laps and an average increase of 8 % compared to a non-adaptive approach.
