A Novel Adaptive Cruise Control Strategy for Electric Vehicles Based on a Hierarchical Framework
description Conclusive evidence has demonstrated the critical importance of adaptive cruise control (ACC) in relieving traffic congestion. To improve the performance of the ACC system, this paper proposes a novel ACC strategy for electric vehicles based on a hierarchical framework. Three main efforts have been made to distinguish our work from the existing research. Firstly, a sliding acceleration identification model is established based on the recursive least squares algorithm with multiple forgetting factors (MFF-RLS). Secondly, with vehicle following, economy, and comfort as the optimization objectives, the upper-level controller is developed based on the model predictive control (MPC) algorithm. Benefit from the identification of the sliding acceleration, the MPC controller holds better capability in accommodating environmental changes. Thirdly, an iterative learning lower-level controller is designed to control the driving and braking systems. Considering the efficiency of regenerative braking, the braking force distribution strategy is also designed in the lower-level controller. Simulation results show that, compared with the conventional MPC-based ACC strategy, the proposed strategy has similar performance in vehicle following, but it makes great improvements in comfort and economy. The specific features are that the vehicle acceleration and speed fluctuation are significantly reduced, and the energy consumption is also reduced by 2.05%.
