Abstract:

When a vehicle returns to a straight line after avoiding obstacles in emergency collision avoidance, it is prone to loss of control in the form of oversteering. To address this problem, a method for utilizing road space in exchange for improved vehicle stability is proposed in this paper, i.e. adaptive collision avoidance control considering available road width. Firstly, a seven-degree-of-freedom vehicle model and collision avoidance controller based on optimal control and MPC are built. The oversteering runaway condition is replicated by a large number of simulations. The mechanism of oversteering runaway is explored by analyzing the vehicle inputs and states. Then, based on the oversteering runaway mechanism, an adaptive collision avoidance control system is designed considering the available width of the road, which includes parameter adaptive control based on deep neural networks, intervention criteria based on starting speed, and exit time based on the Lyapunov conservative stability region. According to simulations and experiments, the proposed adaptive collision avoidance control strategy can fully utilize the available road width to improve vehicle stability when returning to a straight line after avoiding a collision, accomplishing the goal of avoiding accidents, which corrects the traditional fixed parameter controller's inability to adapt to complex and variable scenarios. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop experiments based on dSPACE verify that the real-time performance of the proposed control strategy can satisfy the collision avoidance requirements in emergencies.
