Item Open Access Cyber-physical system based optimization framework for intelligent powertrain control(Society of Automotive Engineers, 2017-03-28) Lv, Chen; Wang, Hong; Zhao, Bolin; Cao, Dongpu; Huaji, Wang; Zhang, Junzhi; Li, Yutong; Yuan, YeThe interactions between automatic controls, physics, and driver is an important step towards highly automated driving. This study investigates the dynamical interactions between human-selected driving modes, vehicle controller and physical plant parameters, to determine how to optimally adapt powertrain control to different human-like driving requirements. A cyber-physical system (CPS) based framework is proposed for co-design optimization of the physical plant parameters and controller variables for an electric powertrain, in view of vehicle’s dynamic performance, ride comfort, and energy efficiency under different driving modes. System structure, performance requirements and constraints, optimization goals and methodology are investigated. Intelligent powertrain control algorithms are synthesized for three driving modes, namely sport, eco, and normal modes, with appropriate protocol selections. The performance exploration methodology is presented. Simulation-based parameter optimizations are carried out according to the objective functions. Simulation results show that an electric powertrain with intelligent controller can perform its tasks well under sport, eco, and normal driving modes. The vehicle further improves overall performance in vehicle dynamics, ride comfort, and energy efficiency. The results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed CPS-based optimization framework, and demonstrate its advantages over a baseline benchmark.Item Open Access Recognizing driver braking intention with vehicle data using unsupervised learning methods(SAE International, 2017-03) Xing, Yang; Lv, Chen; Huaji, Wang; Wang, Hong; Cao, DongpuRecently, the development of braking assistance system has largely benefit the safety of both driver and pedestrians. A robust prediction and detection of driver braking intention will enable driving assistance system response to traffic situation correctly and improve the driving experience of intelligent vehicles. Unsupervised machine learning algorithms has been widely used in clustering and pattern mining in previous researches. In this paper, a various unsupervised clustering methods will be used to build a driver braking intention predictor which can accurately recognize the braking maneuver based on vehicle data captured with CAN bus. The braking maneuver along with other driving maneuvers such as normal driving will be clustered and the results from different methods like K-means and Gaussian mixture model will be compared. Additionally, the evaluation of features from raw data, which are important to driving maneuvers clustering will be proposed. The experiment data are collected from one hybrid electric vehicle in real world. Final results show that the proposed method can detect driver’s braking intention in a very beginning moment with a high accuracy and the most important sets of feature for driving maneuver clustering will be discussed.Recently, the development of braking assistance system has largely benefit the safety of both driver and pedestrians.
