[0050] Figure 3 This is the block diagram of the bicycle robust controller design in this invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Embodiments of the present invention provide a robust control method for a platoon of intelligent connected vehicles. This method utilizes a delay compensation strategy and a Smith predictor to compensate for the negative impact of information delay on platoon stability control. This method achieves stability and robustness through the joint design of a single-vehicle robust control mode and a platoon robust control mode, thereby preventing performance degradation caused by communication interruptions and delays.

[0054] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for robust control of an intelligent connected vehicle platoon, which is applied to vehicles in a vehicle platoon, such as Figure 1As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] (1) Test the communication status of the intelligent connected vehicle. If the communication is normal, execute step (2); if the communication is interrupted, execute step (3).

[0056] (2) The platoon robust control mode is used to adjust the vehicle distance. Specifically, whenever the preset vehicle distance adjustment time interval is reached, the position, speed, and actual acceleration of the preceding vehicle are obtained through sensors. The predicted acceleration of the current vehicle is predicted by the Smith predictor. The expected acceleration of the preceding vehicle is obtained through communication with the preceding vehicle. Based on the obtained information, the expected acceleration of the current vehicle is calculated according to the following formula, and the current vehicle is driven according to the expected acceleration:

[0057] u i,1 (t) = k1[p i-1 (tg i,1 )-p i (t)-L i -v i (t)h i -d i ]

[0058] +k2[v i-1 (tg i,1 )-v i (t)-a i (t)h i ]+a i (t)+q i (t)

[0059]

[0060] Where u i,1 (t) represents the expected acceleration of vehicle i at time t in the platoon robust control mode, i represents the index number of the vehicle in the intelligent connected vehicle platoon, the leading vehicle has an index number of 0, and the following vehicles are indexed from front to back as 1,…,n, where n is the number of following vehicles, k1 and k2 represent the control gain coefficients of the vehicle, and p i-1 (t), p i (t) represents the position of vehicle i-1 and i at time t, L i is the length of vehicle i, v i-1 (t), v i (t) represents the speed of vehicles i-1 and i at time t, h i represents the preset distance adjustment time interval of vehicle i, d i Indicates the distance between vehicles at rest, a i-1 (t) represents the actual acceleration of vehicle i-1, a i(t) represents the predicted acceleration of vehicle i at time t, q i (t) represents the middle term, represents the derivative, τ i-1 represents the time lag of vehicle i-1 in achieving acceleration, τ i represents the time lag of vehicle i in achieving acceleration, u i-1 (t) represents the expected acceleration of vehicle i-1 at time t; g i,1 represents the delay term in the queue robust control mode, δ p,i represents the sensor delay of vehicle i, δ e,i-1 represents the sensor delay of vehicle i-1, θ i Indicates communication delay.

[0061] The derivation process of the above formula is:

[0062] In a system with information delay, the target distance between the preceding vehicle i-1 and the current vehicle i is calculated as follows:

[0063]

[0064] The distance error e between the preceding vehicle i-1 and the current vehicle i i (t) is calculated as follows:

[0065]

[0066] Then the expected acceleration of vehicle i in the platoon robust control mode is:

[0067]

[0068] Where: g i,1 is satisfied delay, which is not less than the sensor delay δ p,i and sensor delay δ e,i-1 and communication delay θ i The upper limit of the sum.

[0069] (3) Single-vehicle robust control mode is used for distance adjustment. Specifically, whenever the preset distance adjustment time interval is reached, the position, speed, and actual acceleration of the preceding vehicle are acquired through sensors. Based on the acquired information, the expected acceleration of the current vehicle is calculated according to the following formula, and the current vehicle is driven according to the expected acceleration:

[0070] u i,2 (t) = k1[p i-1 (tg i,2 )-p i (t)-L i -v i (t)h i -d i]+k2[v i-1 (tg i,2 )-v i (t)-a i (t)h i ]+a i (t)

[0071] g i,2 ≥δ p,i

[0072] i=1,…,n

[0073] Where u i,2 (t) represents the expected acceleration of vehicle i at time t under the single-vehicle robust control mode, g i,2 represents the delay term in the single-vehicle robust control mode.

[0074] The derivation process of the above formula is as follows: In a queuing system with delay, the expected acceleration of the subject vehicle i in the single-vehicle robust control mode is:

[0075]

[0076] Where g i,2 Is to meet the delayed steady-state single-vehicle robust control mode g i,2 ≥δ p,i The delay is no less than the sensor delay δ p,i .

[0077] In the above methods, the platoon robust control mode and the single-vehicle robust control mode can achieve different performances by meeting different conditions. See the following for details.

[0078] (1) Local stability can be achieved when the platoon robust control mode and the single-vehicle robust control mode meet the following conditions:

[0079]

[0080] (2) Vehicle platoon stability can be achieved when the platoon robust control mode meets the following conditions:

[0081]

[0082] The following proves that: the controller design block diagram of the queue robust control mode is as follows Figure 2 As shown. The position transfer function between vehicle i-1 and vehicle i is:

[0083]

[0084] in, is the delay term of vehicle i introduced by the delay compensation strategy in the platoon robust control mode in the frequency domain. and D e,i (z), Ψ in the queue robust control mode CACC (z) The standard amplitude remains unchanged.

[0085] In order to ensure queue stability in the queue robust control mode, the present invention requires:

[0086]

[0087] In order to fully compensate for the delay, the present invention also requires Therefore, the time interval calculation formula for ensuring the stability of the delayed steady-state queue robust control mode is:

[0088] (3) When the single-vehicle robust control mode meets the following conditions, vehicle platoon stability can be achieved:

[0089]

[0090] The following proves: Figure 3 This is a block diagram of the single-vehicle robust control mode based on the delay compensation strategy and Smith predictor. Gsmith,i(z) is the Smith predictor used to compensate for the acceleration sensing delay of the target vehicle i:

[0091] G smith,i (z) = G i (z)(1-D e,i (z))

[0092] Among them, D e,i (z) is the acceleration delay of vehicle i in the frequency domain.

[0093] Through Laplace transform, we get the following formula

[0094]

[0095] at the same time:

[0096] in, is the delay of vehicle i introduced by the delay compensation strategy in the single-vehicle robust control mode in the frequency domain. and D e,i (z), the canonical amplitude Ψ of the single-vehicle robust control mode ACC (z) remain unchanged.

[0097] at the same time:

[0098]

[0099] The above formula guarantees the stability of the queue in the delayed steady-state single-vehicle robust control mode

[0100]

[0101] Sufficient conditions for ensuring the stability of the single-vehicle robust control mode are derived

[0102] To compensate for the sensing delay, g i,2 ≥δ p,i

[0103] Combining these two conditions, the time interval that ensures the stability of the queue system under the delayed steady-state single-vehicle robust control mode can be obtained as follows:

[0104]

[0105] (4) When the platoon robust control mode and the single-vehicle robust control mode meet the following conditions, stability and robustness can be achieved simultaneously:

[0106]

[0107] In systems with information delays, acceleration is attenuated by the vehicle platoon system, regardless of whether the delay-robust single-vehicle robust control mode or the delay-steady platoon robust control mode is employed. This emphasizes that the stability and robustness of vehicle platoon systems using a delay compensation strategy and a Smith predictor can be guaranteed under information delay conditions. The following table summarizes the derived sufficient conditions and propositions for local stability and platoon stability with respect to time intervals for both the single-vehicle robust control mode and the platoon robust control mode. Therefore, a minimum time interval requirement can be provided for the vehicle platoon system to achieve stability / robustness and prevent performance degradation caused by communication interruptions.

[0108] Table 1: Sufficient conditions for local and queue stability of vehicle queuing systems with respect to time intervals

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] By introducing a delay compensation strategy and a Smith predictor, delay-robust controllers for both single-vehicle and platoon robust control modes are developed to mitigate the negative impact of information delay on string-stability control. This is achieved through two measures: multi-source state information synchronization and acceleration information prediction.
