Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for adjusting vehicle speed of a motor vehicle accord ing to claim 1 and to a system for adjusting vehicle speed according to claim 14.
- the invention further relates to a computer program, a computer program product, and a motor veh icle.
- a motor vehicle is here intended a vehicle which is powered by an internal combustion engine and/or by an electric motor.
- the method is intended for use in a heavy motor vehicle such as a truck or a bus.
- a gap is herein intended a gap between the present vehicle and a nearby vehicle in terms of either distance or time.
- Modern motor vehicles can furthermore be equ ipped with radar technology to measure a distance to a lead veh icle travelling ahead of the motor vehicle.
- Some motor veh icles can also be equipped with a control system to automatically maintain a specified gap to the lead veh icle, as long as the speed of the motor vehicle does not exceed a set speed , such as a legal speed limit.
- a control system is usually referred to as an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), a Radar Cru ise Control, or an Autonomous Cru ise Control system.
- Driving behind a lead vehicle may save fuel due to reduced air resistance, but may also result in that normal fuel saving systems, such as certain fuel-economising cruise controls, cannot be fu lly utilised due to the risk of coming too close to the lead vehicle, regardless of whether the motor vehicle is driven with an activated ACC system or not. Certain fuel saving systems and functions are therefore deactivated when driving behind a lead vehicle.
- US20140244129 discloses a method for controlling vehicle speed in a motor vehicle having a cru ise control.
- a speed setpoint used by the cruise control is adapted in order to achieve fuel efficiency, using offsets to take e.g . topography into account.
- the traffic density in the vicin ity of the vehicle is determined , and the offsets to the speed setpoint are reduced in proportion to the traffic density. In this way, heavy traffic in the vicinity of the vehicle will lead to a reduced possibility of adjusting the speed setpoint to account for a varying road gradient.
- a method for adjusting veh icle speed of a motor vehicle in which the vehicle speed is controlled using a cruise control is provided .
- the method comprises:
- a system for adjusting veh icle speed of a motor vehicle in which the vehicle speed is controlled using a cruise control comprises a control un it configured to:
- the proposed method and system provide a means of, in the presence of nearby veh icles, adjusting a speed setpoint (also referred to as reference speed) used by the cruise control such that the motor vehicle is fuel efficiently operated taking road gradients into account, while still ensuring that the motor vehicle does not come too close to the nearby vehicle(s) as a result of the adjustment of the speed setpoint.
- a speed setpoint also referred to as reference speed
- the traffic acceptable constraints can be set based on an expected future development of the traffic situation , not merely on a present traffic density.
- the adaptation to nearby traffic can thereby be improved .
- Even in heavy traffic small departures from the set speed of the cruise control may be permitted in order to e.g . improve fuel efficiency, if th is can be achieved without violating the traffic acceptable constraints.
- the method and system according to the invention improve the possibility to operate the motor vehicle in accordance with the driver's intentions also in the presence of surrounding vehicles.
- the method and system may be adapted to simu ltaneously take both a trailing vehicle travelling behind the motor vehicle and a lead vehicle travelling ahead of the motor vehicle into account.
- Different minimum gap sizes may be defined for trailing vehicles and for lead vehicles.
- the expected speed trajectory of the at least one nearby vehicle may be estimated on-board the motor vehicle based on predefined assumptions, but it may also be estimated or otherwise determined elsewhere and communicated to the motor vehicle, such as from the nearby vehicle or from a central node.
- the driver acceptable constraints may define how the vehicle speed may be varied by the cruise control in dependence on road gradient and road curvature in the absence of nearby vehicles. These constraints may typically be set based on input from a driver of the motor vehicle, including e.g . a desired set speed of the cruise control, a maximum and a minimum allowed deviation from the set speed and a selected performance mode, such as an economy mode for min imising fuel consumption , or a power mode for maximising power output. In accordance with the driver acceptable constraints, the actual speed setpoint that the cruise control uses to regulate the vehicle speed may depart from the set speed by an amount that depends on the selected performance mode. The driver acceptable constraints may also be set based on input relating to e.g . speed limits along the road .
- speed limits may be communicated to a communication unit in the motor veh icle from a central communication node, or included in map data.
- the set speed of the cruise control may be used as an input parameter when determining the intended speed trajectory, if not included in the driver acceptable constraints.
- the traffic acceptable constraints may be expressed in terms of distance to be covered by the motor veh icle as a function of time, i.e. by specifying a minimum distance and a maximum distance that may be covered, taking the minimum gap size(s) into account.
- the intended speed trajectory of the motor veh icle is set so that it satisfies all of said driver acceptable constraints and traffic acceptable constraints.
- preference may be given to some of the constraints.
- the system according to the invention may either form part of a cruise control, or be a separate system which may be used in combination with a cruise control.
- the traffic acceptable constraints include a hard constraint on a minimum forward gap to the lead vehicle, which hard constraint must be satisfied by the intended speed trajectory.
- the method may e.g . include evaluating whether said hard constraint is satisfied by the intended speed trajectory, and , based on the evaluation , set a status of the intended speed trajectory as allowed or non-allowed .
- the hard constraint may be given as an in put to a solver, which produces a speed trajectory that satisfies the hard constraint. I n this embodiment, an intended speed trajectory that does not satisfy the hard constraint on the minimum forward gap cannot be set. It is thereby ensured that the motor veh icle cannot come closer to the lead vehicle than the minimum forward gap.
- the traffic acceptable constraints include a soft constraint on a minimum rearward gap to the trailing vehicle, which soft constraint is allowed to be selectively satisfied by the intended speed trajectory.
- Th is allows the motor veh icle to keep travelling at e.g . set speed if the trailing vehicle travels much faster than the present vehicle, such as in a situation in which a driver of the trailing vehicle intends to overtake the motor vehicle.
- the gap may be allowed to fall below the minimum allowable gap instead of increasing the speed of the motor vehicle to prevent the gap from becoming too small.
- the driver acceptable constraints include a maximum allowable distance deviation from a desired constant set speed trajectory of the motor vehicle.
- the constant set speed trajectory is the trajectory that the motor veh icle would follow at a constant speed equaling the set speed of the cruise control.
- the maximum allowable distance deviation may preferably be topography dependent, i.e. determined in dependence on the topography ahead of the motor vehicle.
- the driver acceptable constraints include a position dependent maximum and/or minimum allowable vehicle speed .
- a maximum and/or minimum allowable veh icle speed as a function of vehicle position is defined .
- road gradient along the road ahead of the motor vehicle is taken into account. If set as a hard constraint, the maximum and/or minimum allowable vehicle speed may not be exceeded .
- the determination of the intended speed trajectory comprises a rule based method and/or an optimization based method .
- a rule based method is easy to implement and also to understand , maintain and troubleshoot.
- a rule based method also produces a predictable resu lt.
- An optimization based method may produce a less pred ictable result, but the result is on the other hand typically better than that from a rule based method .
- the optimization based method would typically result in a more fuel efficient intended speed trajectory.
- both rule based and optimization based methods may include simu lations.
- the determination of the intended speed trajectory includes:
- the predefined selection criteria are set so as to select the most fuel efficient allowable speed trajectory.
- the method further comprises determining at least one intended control trajectory associated with the intended speed trajectory, wherein the at least one intended control trajectory is used to control the powertrain of the motor vehicle.
- the at least one control trajectory may include a torque trajectory, includ ing driving and braking torques to be demanded from the powertrain , and/or a gear selection trajectory defin ing which gear(s) to be selected .
- the at least one control trajectory can be used to control the powertrain such that the vehicle speed is adjusted based on the intended speed trajectory.
- the intended speed trajectory and the associated at least one control trajectory are preferably determined simultaneously.
- determining a current gap to the nearby vehicle comprises measuring the current gap.
- measuring the current gap can be realised using a radar equ ipment.
- the motor vehicle may for th is purpose be equ ipped with forward and rearward radar equ ipment configured to sense lead vehicles and trailing vehicles, respectively, and to measure a gap to said vehicles.
- the radar equ ipment may also be used to detect a nearby vehicle and to calcu late its speed .
- An alternative to using radar equ ipment is to use optical cameras or light detection and rang ing (LI DAR).
- the at least one minimum gap size is determined based on at least one of a vehicle speed , a vehicle acceleration , brake action , tyre quality, road conditions, weather, and traffic cond itions.
- the vehicle speed/acceleration may be an absolute vehicle speed/acceleration of the motor vehicle or a relative speed/acceleration in relation to a nearby vehicle.
- the invention also relates to a computer program comprising instructions which , when the computer program is executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the proposed method and to a computer-readable medium comprising instructions which , when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the proposed method . It will be appreciated that all the embodiments described with reference to the method aspect of the present invention are applicable also for the system aspect of the present invention . That is, the system may be configured to perform any one of the method steps of the above described embod iments.
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising a system as defined in any one of the above described embodiments.
- the motor vehicle may be powered by an internal combustion engine and/or by an electric motor.
- the method and system may be used in a heavy motor veh icle such as a truck or a bus.

- a cruise control 5 is used to control vehicle speed of the motor vehicle.
- the system includes a forward radar equipment 6 and a rear radar equipment 7 adapted to detect and measure a current gap to the lead vehicle 3 and the trailing vehicle 4, respectively.
- an input is in step S1 received from a driver of the motor vehicle 1 , defin ing a desired set speed of the motor veh icle 1 and a desired performance mode.
- a driver of the motor vehicle 1 defining a desired set speed of the motor veh icle 1 and a desired performance mode.
- the input from the driver defines driver acceptable constraints which may, in the absence of surrounding vehicles, be used to calculate an intended speed trajectory of the motor veh icle 1 .
- the driver acceptable constraints define how the vehicle speed is allowed to be varied in the absence of nearby vehicles in dependence on road gradient and road curvature.
- a current gap to each nearby vehicle is determined in a step S3, in th is case measured using the radar equ ipment 6, 7.
- the sizes of the gaps can be determined in terms of time or distance.
- an expected speed trajectory of each nearby vehicle 3, 4 is determined , either by estimating the speed trajectories on-board the motor veh icle 1 or by receiving the speed trajectories from the nearby veh icles 3, 4 or from a central communication node (not shown) by means of wireless commun ication .
- traffic acceptable constraints are determined in a step S4.
- the traffic acceptable constraints are set so as to ensure that, on the upcoming road stretch , a future gap to the trailing vehicle 4 and the lead veh icle 3, respectively, will correspond to at least the minimum gap sizes.
- the motor veh icle's velocity will only be allowed to fluctuate such that the motor vehicle is positioned within the allowed space d a l lowed (see fig . 1 ).
- an intended speed trajectory of the motor veh icle 1 is thereafter in a step S5 determined such that the intended speed trajectory satisfies the traffic acceptable constraints as well as the driver acceptable constraints. If not all constraints can be simultaneously satisfied , pre-defined conditions may be used to select the most suitable intended speed trajectory.
- the traffic acceptable constraints may include a hard constraint which may never be violated relating to the minimum forward gap size d 2.
- the traffic acceptable constraints may also include a soft constraint relating to the min imum rearward gap size d i . This soft constraint may be defined so that it can be violated if the motor vehicle 1 is unable to maintain the set speed , e.g . on a steep uph ill road stretch , but so that it may not be violated if the motor veh icle 1 is able to maintain the minimum gap without violating the driver acceptable constraints.
- the vehicle speed is thereafter controlled in a step S6, using the cruise control 5, in accordance with the intended speed trajectory.
