Abstract:

The predictive cruise and lane-changing decision method for platoon based on cloud control system is proposed in this paper to improve the safety, economy, efficiency and smoothness of platoon. This method obtains dynamic traffic information through roadside infrastructure and uploads it to the cloud platform, which uses the predictive model to estimate the future state of environmental vehicles. The penalty of different actions of the platoon is reflected in the objective function, by minimizing which the longitudinal acceleration and lateral lane-changing decision sequence are optimized synergistically, with the decision results sent to the vehicle for tracking and control. Sumo and Matlab are used to establish the simulation environment, and five sets of simulation conditions with different traffic flows are designed. The simulation results show that compared to the microscopic driving model (IDM+MOBIL), the platoon with the proposed method can reduce the collision risk during cruise by 42.2% and the collision risk during lane change by 3.41%, with an average fuel saving rate of 1.22%, an increase of speed by 0.83%, and smoothness by 49.84%, better than the microscopic driving model in safety, economy, efficiency and smoothness.
