[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, problems such as traffic congestion, frequent accidents, and environmental pollution have become increasingly prominent. Against this backdrop, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have emerged as a key technological solution to address urban traffic difficulties. Among them, connected vehicles (V2V), as an important component of ITS, have become a research hotspot in the global automotive and transportation sectors in recent years. In terms of traffic safety, V2V can achieve time-to-time perception beyond line of sight through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, providing early warnings of potential collision risks. In terms of traffic efficiency, connected collaborative control can optimize traffic flow, reducing unnecessary acceleration, deceleration, and congestion. In terms of the environment and society, V2V can effectively reduce carbon emissions through optimized hypothetical strategies.

[0003] As a core research direction for connected vehicles, connected vehicle control strategies have received widespread attention and in-depth research from academia and industry in recent years. With the rapid development of related technologies, current research on connected vehicle control strategies has formed a multi-layered technical system, mainly including single-vehicle intelligent control strategies, multi-vehicle collaborative control strategies, and special scenario control strategies. In the future, connected vehicle control strategies will develop towards greater intelligence, greater collaboration, and greater safety.

[0004] Current research on connected vehicle control strategies has rapidly evolved from early single-vehicle intelligence to multi-agent collaboration and vehicle-road-cloud integration. Distributed optimization and robust control of connected vehicles is one of the core research directions in multi-agent collaborative control, aiming to address the challenges of real-time performance, safety, and adaptability in multi-vehicle collaborative decision-making under dynamic traffic environments, and significant progress has been made. However, bottlenecks such as computational efficiency, resource utilization, and real-time performance still need to be overcome.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes an event-triggered distributed model predictive control method for predictive time-domain adaptive adjustment of connected vehicles with bidirectional communication interconnection. By integrating a robust safety constraint tightening strategy, a predictive time-domain adaptive adjustment mechanism, and an event-triggered communication scheme, this method effectively solves the problems of excessive communication resource consumption and excessive computational burden in traditional distributed control while ensuring the overall stability, coordination consistency, physical security, and anti-interference performance of the connected vehicle system.

[0242] The above analysis verifies the effectiveness of the adaptive predictive time-domain event-triggered distributed model predictive control method for connected vehicle systems provided in this embodiment. When the system state has not entered the terminal domain, distributed rolling time-domain optimization control is adopted. By integrating a robust safety constraint tightening strategy, a predictive time-domain adaptive adjustment mechanism, and an event-triggered communication scheme, the triggering frequency of the controller is effectively reduced. After the system state enters the terminal domain, the system switches to a local controller and continues to use the event-triggered mechanism, significantly reducing computational complexity. Simulation verification shows that this control strategy effectively solves the problems of excessive communication resource consumption and excessive computational burden in traditional distributed control while ensuring the overall stability, coordination consistency, physical security, and anti-interference performance of the connected vehicle system, significantly improving the overall resource utilization efficiency of the connected vehicle system.
