Implementation and vehicle tests of a vehicle longitudinal control algorithm for stop-and-go cruise control have been performed. The vehicle longitudinal control scheme consists of a set-speed control algorithm, a speed control algorithm, and a distance control algorithm. A desired acceleration for the vehicle for the control of vehicle-to-vehicle relative speed and clearance has been designed using linear quadratic optimal control theory. Performance of the control algorithm has been investigated via vehicle tests. Vehicle tests have been conducted using two test vehicles. A 2000 cm3 passenger car equipped with a radar distance sensor, throttle/brake actuators and a controller has been used as a subject vehicle in the vehicle tests. A millimetre wave radar sensor has been used for distance measurement. A step motor and an electronic vacuum booster have been used for throttle/brake actuators. It has been shown that the implemented vehicle longitudinal control system can provide satisfactory performance in vehicle set-speed control and vehicle clearance control at lower speeds.

The braking quality is considered as the most important performance of the adaptive control system that influences the vehicle safety and ride comfort remarkably. This research is aimed at designing an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system based on active braking algorithm using hierarchical control. Taking into account the vehicle with safety and comfort, the upper decision-making controller is designed based on model predictive control algorithm. Throttle controller and braking controller are designed with feedforward and feedback algorithms as the bottom controller, where the braking controller is designed based on the hydraulic braking model. The whole model is simulated collaboratively with Amesim, Carsim, and Simulink. By comparison with the full deceleration model, the results show that the proposed algorithm can not only make the vehicle maintain a safe distance under the premise of following the target vehicle ahead effectively but also provide favorable driving comfort.

Realistic Information

Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) is a promising technology to improve traffic efficiency and enhance road safety. In this paper, a modified CACC control model considering the communication time delay is proposed, which is used to investigate the longitudinal safety impacts of the communication time delay to the CACC platoon. Then, the communication time delay model is integrated into the CACC model to simulate the realistic information transfer process in the CACC platoon. Then a microscopic CACC platoon simulation is designed and conducted to verify the feasibility and reliability of the modified CACC control algorithm. The obtained results reveal that the modified CACC control algorithm can not only reduce about 96.6% of inter-vehicle spacing error, but also enhance the vehicles’ ability to sense the upstream traffic changes. Furthermore, to quantitatively analyze the longitudinal safety influence of the time delay caused by representative communication systems, sensitivity analysis experiments of headway time were designed and conducted. In the sensitivity analysis, the time exposed time-to-collision (TET) and the time-integrated time-to-collision (TIT) were introduced as the key performance indicators (KPIs) to quantify the rear-end collision risks. Sensitivity analysis results demonstrate that the performance of the CACC platoon is strictly related to the applied wireless communication style. Furthermore, the CACC system supported by the 5th generation (5G) communication system shows great advantages in narrowing the minimal headway time gap and reducing the rear-end collision risks.
