Abstract:

For the problem that the parameters of traditional PI control are fixed and difficult to be adjusted in the process of vehicle speed tracking, a longitudinal control method of intelligent vehicle based on the improved BP neural network is proposed. The BP neural network in drive mode and brake mode is established respectively. In view of the difficulty in selecting initial parameters of BP neural network and the problem of gradient disappearing in reverse self-learning, particle swarm optimization and batch normalization are used to improve the BP neural network. Finally, the dynamic self-tuning of PI parameters is realized. By Carsim/Simulink co-simulation and real vehicle test, the proposed method is verified. The results show that the proposed longitudinal control method can realize rapid adjustment of parameters based on error and improve the longitudinal control accuracy of the vehicle compared with the traditional PI control.
