Abstract
With the advantage of exceptional long-range traffic perception capabilities and data fusion computational prowess,the cloud control system(CCS)has exhibited formidable poten-tial in the realm of connected assisted driving,such as the adap-tive cruise control(ACC).Based on the CCS architecture,this paper proposes a cloud-based predictive ACC(PACC)strategy,which fully considers the road slope information and the preced-ing vehicle status.In the cloud,based on the dynamic program-ming(DP),the long-term economic speed planning is carried out by using the slope information.At the vehicle side,the real-time fusion planning of the economic speed and the preceding vehi-cle state is realized based on the model predictive control(MPC),taking into account the safety and economy of driving.In order to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle-cloud cooperative control system,an event-triggered cruise mode switching method is proposed based on the state of each sub-system of the vehicle-cloud-network-map.Simulation results indicate that the PACC system can still ensure stable cruising under delays and some complex conditions.Moreover,under normal conditions,compared to the ACC system,the PACC sys-tem can further improve economy while ensuring safety and improve the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle,thus achiev-ing fuel savings of 3%to 8%.
