Summary: | The path tracking control of electric mining articulated vehicles (EMAVs), critical equipment commonly used for mining and transportation in underground mines, is a research topic that has received much attention. The path tracking control of EMAVs is subject to several system constraints, including articulation angle and articulation angular velocity. In light of this, many researchers have initiated studies based on model predictive control (MPC). The principal design schemes for existing MPC methods encompass linear MPC (LMPC) utilizing a single reference point, so named the single reference point LMPC (SRP-LMPC), and nonlinear MPC (NMPC). However, NMPC exhibits suboptimal real-time performance, while SRP-LMPC demonstrates inferior accuracy. To simultaneously improve the accuracy and real-time performance of the path tracking control of EMAV, based on the SRP-LMPC, a path tracking control method for EMAV based on nonlinear compensated multiple reference points LMPC (MRP-LMPC) is proposed. The simulation results demonstrate that MRP-LMPC simultaneously exhibits a commendable degree of accuracy and real-time performance. In all simulation results, the displacement error amplitude and heading error amplitude of MRP-LMPC do not exceed 0.2675 m and 0.1108 rad, respectively. Additionally, the maximum solution time in each control period is 5.9580 ms. The accuracy of MRP-LMPC is comparable to that of NMPC. However, the maximum solution time of MRP-LMPC can be reduced by over 27.81% relative to that of NMPC. Furthermore, the accuracy of MRP-LMPC is significantly superior to that of SRP-LMPC. The maximum displacement and heading error amplitude can be reduced by 0.3075 m and 0.1003 rad, respectively, representing a reduction of 65.51% and 73.59% in the middle speed and above scenario. |
