  • Patent number: 11518432
    Abstract: Disclosed is zero point compensation method and device for EPS. The method includes: acquiring a value of lateral distance when a vehicle travels along an ideal path and obtaining a smoothed lateral distance value, for each control cycle; calculating a longitudinal movement distance value of the vehicle for each control cycle; performing linear fitting to obtain a linear relationship between the longitudinal movement distance value and the smoothed lateral distance value; calculating a zero point compensation angle for the EPS based on a first parameter in the linear relationship and a preset steering wheel transmission ratio, and compensating a steering control angle; and determining that the zero point compensation angle passes verification when a minimum residual error is less than a preset acceptable deviation. In this way, the time required for calibration can be reduced, and the accuracy and effectiveness of the control algorithm can be improved.
