Research on Dual-Clutch Intelligent Vehicle Infrastructure Cooperative Control Based on System Delay Prediction of Two-Lane Highway On-Ramp Merging Area

The highway on-ramp merging area is a common bottleneck prone to traffic congestion and accidents. With the current trajectory and advancements in automotive technology, intelligent vehicle infrastructure cooperative control based on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is a fundamental solution to this problem. While much existing research focuses solely on ramp merging control in single-lane highway scenarios, there is more than one main lane in the actual highway environment. Thus, this paper proposes a dual-clutch longitudinal-lateral cooperative planning model, inspired by the principle of dual-clutch transmission, to address this gap. Besides, considering the impact of communication delay on control effects within the internet of vehicles, the paper proposes a system delay prediction model, which integrates the adaptive Kalman filter algorithm, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm based on imitation learning, and the radial basis function neural network. The delay predicted dual-clutch on-ramp merging control model (DPDM) applied to two-lane highways for CAVs makes up of these two models above. Then, the performance of the DPDM is analyzed under different traffic densities on two-lane highways through simulation. The findings underscore the DPDM's pronounced comprehensive advantages in enhancing group vehicle safety, expediting and stabilizing merging processes, optimizing traffic flow speed, and economizing fuel consumption.

Adaptive Gearshift Control for Dual Clutch Transmissions Based on Hybrid Physical and Data Driven Modeling
Yonggang Liu, Yihua Liao, Jingchen Zhang, Jing Wei, Zheng Chen, Yi Zhang

|

Gearshift control poses significant influence on smoothness and dynamics of vehicles, especially for vehicles equipped with dual clutch transmissions (DCT). However, classical strategies are difficult to account for complex transient variations of the clutch friction coefficient during gear shifting. To cope with this challenge, this study proposes an adaptive gearshift control algorithm based on physical and data-driven modeling for regulation of the clutch friction coefficient. A closed-loop strategy is proposed for the speed control in the gearshift process of DCT vehicles. The reference speeds of clutch and engine are determined via online invocation of the pseudo-spectrum method. Meanwhile, an adaptive sliding mode controller based on the fused physical and data-driven hybrid model is designed to control the clutch oil pressure in the torque phase, thereby enabling precise tracking of the reference speed of the clutch. Then, an efficient engine controller is designed based on sliding mode control to regulate the throttle opening for following the engine reference speed in the torque phase. The simulation and experimental results manifest that the proposed adaptive control method maintains satisfactory shift quality with high adaptive capability and strong robustness under time-varying throttle pedal opening.

UFC3: UAV-Aided Fog Computing Based Congestion Control Strategy for Emergency Message Dissemination in 5G Internet of Vehicles
Atefeh Hemmati, Mani Zarei
|
|
|
Advanced research in 5G-enabled vehicular technologies has made the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) a promising research area in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The high vehicular mobility causes frequent network topology changes, leading to unreliable emergency alert messaging (EAM) in real-time IoV applications. Due to the high volume of data propagation in such networks with limited bandwidth resources, topological dynamics can cause data congestion and data loss, which is not tolerable for delay-sensitive emergency messages (EMs). Unmanned Ariel vehicles (UAVs) as dynamic infrastructures can provide customized EAM services for IoVs. This paper proposes UFC3, a UAV-aided Fog Computing Congestion Control strategy for EM dissemination in 5G IoV. This study provides a practical method for EAM by reducing burst EM traffic to guarantee reliable messaging communication between an abnormal vehicle (AV) and the fog server (FS). In UFC3, various nodes capable of Wave protocol were considered as basic vehicles or 5G-enabled nodes regarded as intelligent vehicles or UAVs, and the authors propose a traffic-aware forward/backward link EAM strategy to handle any EM and the corresponding response between the AV and FS. Next, this paper suggests a mathematical analysis for EM propagation speed (EMPS) and propose closed-form EMPS equations for various traffic-aware forward/backward link EAM scenarios. Using OMNET + + along with Veins and INET frameworks, the authors simulate UFC3 and compare it with previously published works regarding communication overhead, throughput, packet delivery ratio, average delay, packet loss ratio, channel utilization, and energy consumption.
