Abstract(E) | Intelligent transportation systems that promise a high level of automation, have gained significant attention during the last years. Movement planning of such vehicles is one of the most critical issues to realize autonomous driving. The longitudinal guidance of such systems is a crucial part of automated driving functions, even in actual customer vehicles. Such that, very comfortable cruise control and adaptive cruise control (ACC) solutions are available. These classical ACC strategies reach their limits in complex cooperative scenarios, especially if we take comfort and safety into account. Such that, the usage of optimization-based control structures, namely model predictive control (MPC), became more and more relevant since it offers performant and comfortable guidance while considering limitations in actuators and states. The optimal solution is determined using a model-based prediction of the future motion. With that concrete plan in hand, we have sufficient information about the future vehicle motion. If a number of vehicles with MPC-based guidance is taken into account, we can use that information to design very performant cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) solutions, which especially benefits in pulk or platooning scenarios. Thus, we are introducing a communication-based CACC approach, which transmits not just the actual state of the vehicle, but also the planned future motion. This information helps to optimize the overall behavior and results in comfortable and safe driving even when using small time gaps between the individual vehicles. The approach is validated with real test drives using a pulk scenario. |
