Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of intelligent transportation, in particular to cooperative fleet driving in an intelligent transportation system, which can be applied to the aspect of longitudinal motion control of an outdoor fleet driving system, and more particularly relates to a method for vehicle cooperative adaptive cruise control.
Background
The establishment and the perfection of traffic facilities play an important role in promoting the social development. However, due to factors such as a significant increase in traffic volume and irregular driving by some drivers, traffic congestion and low traffic efficiency may occur.
Some researchers have proposed Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which can sense driving environment by means of a vehicle-mounted sensor (such as a radar, a laser radar or a camera sensing system) and adjust the vehicle speed based on the vehicle distance to match the vehicle speed of the vehicle ahead, so as to ensure that the vehicle and the vehicle ahead can keep a certain driving distance. However, the vehicles do not directly exchange information with each other, so that a large safety distance needs to be reserved, and the road is not fully utilized.
As an extension to the ACC, some researchers have subsequently proposed Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), in which, on the basis of the ACC, a fleet of vehicles may be formed by using vehicle wireless communication technology (such as V2X technology), and the vehicles may Control the driving of the vehicle based on the kinematic information of the vehicle ahead. When using the data of the leading vehicle, the CACC system can have a shorter, more accurate time difference control than the ACC system, contributing to an increase in traffic throughput and a reduction in fuel consumption.
CACC systems are widely considered as an effective solution to the traffic problem because of their ability to improve road use efficiency and traffic. The CACC system can realize the longitudinal automatic control of the fleet. The main goal of CACC systems is to maintain uniformity of all behaviors of vehicles in a fleet and to ensure a vehicle spacing that meets stability. Vehicles in the fleet will establish a communication network for periodic sharing of kinematic information. Therefore, the host vehicle can receive the kinematic information of the speed, the acceleration and the position of the front vehicle or the adjacent vehicles thereof according to the predefined network topology. The control strategy based on real-time real information sharing between vehicles is more reasonable, and the driving distance can be reduced.
Some researchers have proposed a CACC controller consisting of a feed-forward parameter and a feedback parameter, taking into account the effect of communication delay on the longitudinal control of the vehicle, given a fixed following distance. The effect of communication delay on the stability of the string was investigated. The results show that if the communication delay exceeds 50 milliseconds, the stability of the string will be destroyed. Some researchers provide a CACC control method based on optimization aiming at single-vehicle forward relay network topology and fixed inter-vehicle distance, and factors such as communication time delay, packet loss rate and the like are considered. The results show that the controller can maintain string stability below 0.293 seconds. Some researchers have focused on the proportional-derivative controller to derive the relationship between communication delay and traffic clearance that meets the stability requirements. The results show that as the communication delay increases from 0.02s to 0.1s, the minimum following distance needs to increase non-linearly to double to maintain chord stability.
In a CACC system fleet, vehicles share information according to a fixed following strategy based on a wireless ad hoc network (a vehicle wireless network, e.g., V2X). The CACC system of a vehicle is typically composed of external inputs, control strategies, driving clearances, a vehicle kinematics module, and a feedback module. The external input module is composed of kinematic information sharing of other vehicles. The control strategy aims to generate a desired kinematic information according to the input kinematic information and the strategy of the driving clearance. The stability of the chord is an index for evaluating the CACC system, and if the CACC system can meet the stability requirement, the CACC system can not be transmitted backwards when the front vehicles in the fleet have speed and other disturbances, so that the traffic jam is reduced. In the existing research, a fixed following strategy is adopted by the CACC, and the design of the CACC is carried out according to the input and feedback information of the design control in the range of the conventional communication time delay so as to realize the minimum driving clearance meeting the stability. If the situation when the communication state is good is considered during design, the CACC designed in the way can realize the optimal driving clearance under the condition of meeting the stability and improve the throughput of the traffic system. However, if the communication conditions are poor, the system is liable to be unstable, and a wave of speed disturbance is generated, and spread to the surroundings, causing traffic congestion and the like. And the communication time delay considered in the design of the CACC is too large, so that the driving clearance which is realized by the system and meets the stability is not optimal, and the throughput of the traffic system is reduced.
In summary, in the prior art, a fixed following strategy is adopted and a minimum following distance meeting the driving stability in a range of conventional communication delay (mainly considering maximum delay) is analyzed, so that each vehicle in a fleet can cruise with the aim of keeping the minimum following distance, but the communication delay is variable, and the road use efficiency cannot be effectively improved according to the specific situation of the communication delay in the prior art. Therefore, there is a need for improvements in the prior art.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail by embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
As mentioned in the background section, the prior art adopts a fixed following strategy and analyzes the minimum following distance which meets the driving stability in the range of the conventional communication delay (mainly considering the maximum delay), so that each vehicle in a fleet can cruise with the aim of maintaining the minimum following distance, but the communication delay is variable, and the prior art cannot effectively improve the road use efficiency according to the specific situation of the communication delay. The method changes a car following mode of cooperative adaptive cruise control from a fixed car following strategy to support various car following strategies, considers the relation curve of communication time delay and running distance under various different car following strategies, and adaptively selects an optimal car following strategy from the various car following strategies according to the communication time delay of the car, wherein the optimal car following strategy corresponds to the car following strategy for realizing the minimum running distance under the communication time delay of the car; from the CACC system formed by all vehicles in the fleet, the optimal driving distance is integrally realized, and the road utilization rate is improved.

When the vehicle runs on the road, other vehicles supporting the method in the road are searched and form a fleet with the other vehicles, when the fleet is formed and after the fleet is formed, the vehicle can analyze the corresponding minimum inter-vehicle distance required by meeting the driving stability under various communication time delays in different inter-vehicle strategies, and the inter-vehicle distance corresponding to the minimum inter-vehicle distance which can meet the driving stability under the communication time delay of the vehicle is preferentially selected according to the communication time delay of the vehicle, so that the inter-vehicle distance can be dynamically adjusted according to the communication time delay, and the influence of severe communication conditions on the driving performance of the fleet can be reduced; therefore, the invention can fully utilize the road space and improve the road utilization rate according to the specific situation of the communication time delay.
Referring now to fig. 1 and 2, a method of cooperative adaptive cruise control according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, including steps S1, S2, S3. Wherein:
step S1: and acquiring the dynamics information of the first vehicle in the motorcade and the dynamics information of the previous vehicle of the vehicle.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the first vehicle in the platoon is the first vehicle in the platoon, such as the vehicle numbered 1 shown in fig. 2. The dynamic information includes, for example, a position, a velocity, an acceleration, or a combination thereof of the vehicle.
Step S2: according to the dynamics information of a first vehicle in a vehicle fleet, the dynamics information of a previous vehicle of the vehicle and the transfer function of dynamics of each vehicle and the first vehicle, vehicle following reference information of the vehicle under multiple preset vehicle following strategies is determined, the vehicle following reference information comprises driving control parameters and a relation curve of the vehicle under multiple communication time delays in each vehicle following strategy, and the relation curve comprises a corresponding minimum driving distance required by driving stability under the multiple communication time delays.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2, assuming that the current vehicle i (the own vehicle) is at the end of the fleet, the upper limit of the number of following vehicles in the following strategy is configured to follow n vehicles, and it is necessary to find the driving control parameters and the relationship curves of the following strategies of 1 vehicle, 2 vehicles, … and n vehicles at different communication delays in sequence.
For this reason, the present invention is defined as the following formula 1 for the transfer function of dynamics corresponding to the following strategy of the vehicle following n vehicles:
wherein u isi(s) represents kinetic information of vehicle i, u1(s) represents dynamics information of a first vehicle in the fleet,

In one embodiment of the invention, the kinetic information used in calculating the kinetic transfer function is acceleration, i.e. the kinetic transfer function represents the acceleration ratio. It should be understood that in some more complex application scenarios, the implementer may utilize more of the dynamics information, not just the acceleration information.
When the communication delay is solved, the calculation is needed according to a preset communication delay solving range, and the range can be configured in advance by default or adjusted by a user according to needs. Assuming that the communication delay solution range is configured to be (0-0.5) in units of seconds with the step size set to 0.01s, the solution is performed as follows:
and sequentially calculating driving control parameters corresponding to the following strategies of following 1 vehicle, following 2 vehicles, … and following n vehicles from the time delay of communication being 0.01s, wherein:
for a following strategy to follow 1 vehicle, equation 1 may be expressed as
Knowing the currently analyzed communication time delay theta, the internal time delay tau of the vehicle, the time delay of the vehicle performing control
(actuator time delay) and the reserved safety spacing h, and solving the control parameters meeting the requirement when the infinite norm of the transfer function of the corresponding system is minimized by solving an Algebraic Riccati equation (Algebriac Riccati Equations) under the condition that three variables of G(s), D(s) and H(s) are known
Temporal driving control parameter Ki(s)＝(Kfb(s)Kff,i-1(s)); analyzing whether the obtained dynamic transfer function corresponding to the driving control parameter meets the stability requirement or not, namely | | thetai(s)||H∞Less than or equal to 1, if the stability requirement is met, searching the minimum running distance to meet the requirement
For a following strategy to follow 2 vehicles, equation 1 may be expressed as
Driving control parameter K according to following strategy of following 1 vehiclei(s)＝(Kfb(s)Kff,i-1(s)) and G(s), D(s), H(s) to find the transfer function theta of the following strategy of the following 1 vehiclei-1(s). At a known thetai-1In the case of(s), G(s), D(s), H(s), the unknown variables in equation 1 are K(s), thetai(s). Solving the transfer function by solving the algebraic Richi-chi equationThe driving control parameters when the finite norm is minimized meet the requirement
Driving control parameter of, Ki(s)＝(Kfb(s)Kff,i-1(s),Kff,i-2(s)); analyzing whether the obtained dynamic transfer function corresponding to the driving control parameter meets the stability requirement or not, namely | | thetai(s)||H∞Less than or equal to 1, if the stability requirement is met, searching the minimum running distance to meet the requirement
Similarly, the driving control parameters corresponding to the following strategies of more vehicles can be calculated in sequence until the control parameters K corresponding to the following strategies of n vehicles are finishedi(s)＝(Kfb(s)Kff,i-1(s),Kff,i-2(s)…Kff,i-n(s)) calculating; analyzing whether the obtained dynamic transfer function corresponding to the driving control parameter meets the stability requirement or not, namely | | thetai(s)||H∞Less than or equal to 1, if the stability requirement is met, searching the minimum running distance to meet the requirement
And then increasing the analyzed communication delay by 0.01s, and repeating all the steps until the solution of various communication delays in 0.5s set in the communication delay solution range is completed. For example, if only the relationship curves corresponding to the following strategies for 1-3 vehicles are analyzed, the corresponding relationship curves shown in fig. 3 are obtained.
Step S3: and selecting an optimal following strategy according to the communication time delay and the following reference information of the vehicle, and calculating control output for driving control according to the corresponding driving control parameters. Therefore, the vehicle-following distance is dynamically adjusted.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the communication delay of the vehicle is an estimated communication delay, and the information referred to by estimating the communication delay includes transmission power information of a communication unit of the relevant vehicle, a signal-to-noise ratio, inter-vehicle distance variation information, or a combination thereof. For example, after forming a fleet of vehicles, the vehicles in the fleet share information referenced for calculating the communication delay so that the corresponding vehicles can estimate the communication delay.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, step S3 includes: determining a following strategy corresponding to the minimum inter-vehicle distance at the communication delay position of the vehicle based on the reference relation of various following strategies according to the communication delay of the vehicle, and taking the following strategy as an optimal following strategy; and when the originally adopted following strategy is different from the optimal following strategy, switching the dynamic information referred by the driving control and the driving distance between the vehicle and the front vehicle according to the optimal following strategy. Preferably, the following distance may be a time-reserved distance between two vehicles or a space reserved in a location space.
According to an example of the present invention, if the corresponding relation curve shown in fig. 3 is followed, it can be concluded that the minimum following distance corresponds to the case where the following strategy of following 1 vehicle is selected at 0 to 0.24 seconds of communication delay. And when the communication delay is greater than 0.31 second, the following strategy of 3 vehicles corresponds to the minimum distance. Since the minimum following distance required for maintaining the following stability under the corresponding communication delays of the different following strategies is different, the minimum following distance required for maintaining the following stability under the corresponding communication delays of the following strategies is used as the expected following distance when the following strategies are switched.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the influence of time delay on the dynamics information is also taken into account during the driving. Step S3 further includes: and correcting the dynamic information referred by the driving control by using the communication delay transfer function, and calculating the control output for driving control by using the corresponding driving control parameter, the following error and the corrected corresponding dynamic information. Therefore, the influence of communication time delay on driving control is reduced, and the driving safety is guaranteed.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the problem of errors is also taken into account during driving. Preferably, step S3 further includes: and in the process of executing corresponding driving control parameters by the vehicle, calculating a following error according to the position information of the front vehicle and the position information of the vehicle, and adjusting control output for driving control to reduce the following error. The inventor carries out simulation aiming at the following errors of various following strategies under the time-varying communication time delay, and applies the communication time delay varying from 0.02 second to 0.5s in the simulation process to obtain a simulation result as shown in FIG. 4, wherein the abscissa represents time and the ordinate represents the following errors; it can be seen that the scheme of adaptively adjusting the car following number according to the communication delay is better than the scheme of only supporting the fixed car following strategy, and the minimum car following error in the whole process can be realized.
The following describes a process of driving control when a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as a host vehicle) adopts a following strategy of following n vehicles with reference to fig. 5:
the vehicle is based on the dynamic information u of the first vehicle1And corresponding kinetic transfer function Θi-1、Θi-2、…、Θi-nCalculating dynamics information u of the front 1 to n vehicles of the vehicle by multiplying the values of (A) and (B)i-1、ui-2、…、ui-nI.e. ui-n(s)＝u1Θi-n；
