    Motion planning is the critical module of trajectory generation in autopilot system. The existing motion planning mostly adopts path-velocity decomposition method, which is easy to fall into trajectory suboptimal in complex dynamic scenarios. In this paper, a spatio-temporal joint motion planning method based on the combination of search and numerical optimization is proposed to solve the drivable trajectory directly. Firstly, the improved hybrid A* is used to search for the initial rough trajectory in the spatio-temporal range. Secondly, a drivable spatio-temporal corridor is constructed based on the initial trajectory, and considering vehicle dynamics and trajectory continuity constraints, the numerical optimization method is used to further smooth the initial trajectory. Finally, two typical complex dynamic scenarios of lane change overtaking and side-vehicle cut-in are selected for simulation test. The results show that the proposed planning method is more flexible and more reasonable than the traditional spatio-temporal decoupling planning method, and has better real-time computing performance.

    Automotive Engineering    2023, 45 (11): 1991-2000.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2023.11.001
    Abstract312)   HTML40)    PDF(pc) (4189KB)(352)      

    Effective thermal management is crucial for the efficient operation of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Fuel cell vehicle thermal management often adopts independent management methods for each subsystem, but this independent method cannot effectively utilize its own waste heat to improve thermal management efficiency and range. In this regard, a vehicle integrated thermal management (VITM) system that utilizes fuel cell waste heat is developed in this paper. The VITM uses a heat exchanger to achieve waste heat recovery of fuel cells and efficient thermal management of various components. The flexible management of each circuit decoupling is achieved through the integrated design of six-way valves. And simulation research on thermal management is conducted on the AMESim simulation platform. The results show that the VITM system developed in this paper can maintain the stability of various components of fuel cell vehicles within the specified operating temperature range. At an ambient temperature of -10 ℃, compared with direct heating mode, a heat pump air conditioner using fuel cell waste heat as a heat source to heat the power battery, the heating time is reduced by 55%.The heating time for the passenger compartment is reduced by 85%, and the energy consumption ratio (COP) value is 4, resulting in a 75% reduction in energy consumption.

    For the durability development problem of an vehicle with super-size integral die casing aluminum alloy rear end body, the E-N data of the cast aluminum alloy for the die casting body is tested and the key parameters of die-casting alloy E-N curve are obtained by fitting the experimental measured data of fatigue samples. Finite element model of Trim body is built and the dynamic stress response of the die casting body is calculated based on the modal transient method. Rain flow statistics is carried out to the stress time history response signal. Combined with the measured material E-N curve and Miner’s damage accumulation principle., the body fatigue damage of initial design and optimized design are analyzed and compared. Finally, the optimized integral die casting part is loaded into the vehicle for the four-column strengthening durability test. The investigation results show that the E-N relation curve of die casting aluminum alloy can be described by Manson-Coffin-Basquin equation. Compared with the original design, the maximum damage of the improved integrated die casting aluminum alloy body is reduced from 2.67 to 0.32, and the risk of fatigue cracking is eliminated. No cracks are found in the body after the reinforced four-column endurance experiment verification. The research results can provide a reference for the development of integral die-cast aluminum alloy body to achieve the goal of vehicle durability properties.

    Automotive Engineering    2023, 45 (10): 1779-1790.   DOI: 10.19562/j.chinasae.qcgc.2023.10.001
    Abstract305)   HTML34)    PDF(pc) (4689KB)(325)      

    Pedestrian behavior prediction is one of the main challenges faced by urban environment intelligent vehicle decision planning system. It is of great significance to improve the prediction accuracy of pedestrian crossing intention for driving safety. In view of the problems that the existing methods rely too much on the location information of pedestrian boundary box, and rarely consider the environmental information in traffic scenes and the interaction between traffic objects, a pedestrian crossing intention prediction method based on multi-modal feature fusion is proposed. In this paper, a new global scene context information extraction module and a local scene spatiotemporal feature extraction module are constructed by combining multiple attention mechanisms to enhance its ability to extract spatiotemporal features of the scene around the vehicle, and rely on the semantic analysis results of the scene to capture the interaction between pedestrians and their surroundings, which solves the problem of insufficient application of the interactive information between the context information of the traffic environment and the traffic objects. In addition, a multimodal feature fusion module based on hybrid fusion strategy is designed in this paper, which realizes the joint reasoning of visual features and motion features according to the complexity of different information sources, and provides reliable information for pedestrian crossing intention prediction module. The test based on JAAD dataset shows that the prediction accuracy of the proposed method is 0.84, which is 10.5 % higher than that of the baseline method. Compared with existing models of the same type, the proposed method has the best comprehensive performance and has a wider application scenario.

    Abstract194)   HTML31)    PDF(pc) (3022KB)(314)      

    To improve the driving range of electric vehicles under low temperatures, a battery pack heating strategy based on the optimization of heating target temperature is proposed in this paper, which can effectively enhance the battery energy efficiency to achieve the driving requirement under low temperature. Firstly, the maximum discharge capacity of the battery at different temperatures is determined by the experiment test. Secondly, based on the energy retention rate of the battery at different temperatures and considering the influence of temperature on the battery life, a nonlinear multi-objective constraint function is established and solved to obtain the optimal heating target temperature of the battery under different ambient temperatures and different SOC. Finally, the heating strategy is validated via simulation of the physical model calibrated with real world vehicle experiment data. The experimental results show that the vehicle driving range based on the optimized battery heating target temperature increases maximumly by 8.41% and 4.77% respectively at the initial temperature of -15 and -5 ℃, indicating the proposed method can effectively improve the driving range of electric vehicles at low temperature.

    Abstract307)   HTML35)    PDF(pc) (1638KB)(299)      

    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.

    Abstract270)   HTML20)    PDF(pc) (8385KB)(293)      

    When multiple autonomous vehicles perform lane change and merging tasks on structured road, steering and merging actions need to be comprehensively considered to avoid potential accidents. Meanwhile, the changing road curvature and surrounding vehicle speed also increase the difficulty of cooperative control. Focusing on the above issues, this paper proposes a multi-vehicle lane change gaming motion planning and cooperative control method facing variable curvature road. Firstly, a multi-vehicle model in curvature coordinate system is developed to determine the inter-vehicle safety distance and dynamics state. Then, by systematically considering the road curvature variation and surrounding vehicle information, a game-based multi-vehicle lane change motion planning algorithm is proposed, which uses a distributed framework to quickly solve the optimal speed trajectory and lane change timing considering personalized driving. Finally, the road curvature and planning trajectory are identified effectively based on B-sample curve, and an adaptive time-varying model predictive control algorithm is constructed to achieve trajectory tracking. Specifically, the control parameters are updated in real time under the single-step prediction domain to eliminate the control deviations caused by frequently various vehicle speed and curvature. The co-simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the tracking error by 58% compared to the Stanley method, with reduction of the merging time by 74% compared to the cooperative adaptive cruise control method. Moreover, the computational solution efficiency is only 10% of the centralized method.

    Abstract235)   HTML10)    PDF(pc) (6437KB)(289)      

    For the trajectory tracking control problem of vehicles under high speed steering and different road adhesion coefficients, a variable sideslip angle constrained MPC control strategy is proposed based on model predictive control theory considering road adhesion coefficients. According to the magic formula tire model, the tire cornering property as well as the influence of different adhesion coefficients on the tire slip angle-lateral force linear region is analysed. Then the function relationship between tire slip angle constraint and different road adhesion coefficients is established. The genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the BP neural network model to design the road adhesion coefficient estimator, and the estimation results are transmitted to the MPC controller as variables related to the tire slip constraint. Finally, the system control quantity constraint, the control increment constraint, and the variable sideslip angle constraint considering the road adhesion coefficient are established in the MPC controller. The trajectory tracking problem under different road adhesion conditions is transformed into the optimal value solution problem under various constraints to realize trajectory tracking and vehicle stability control. The simulation and experimental results show that the MPC control method considering the change of road adhesion coefficient has higher trajectory tracking accuracy and better vehicle stability than the traditional MPC control method under various working conditions, with high estimation accuracy of the GA-BP neural network road coefficient estimation method.

    Abstract149)   HTML15)    PDF(pc) (4092KB)(263)      

    In this paper, a motion planning method for autonomous vehicles considering prediction risk is proposed, which is based on the model predictive control algorithm while incorporating interactive prediction of the future trajectories of surrounding vehicles and the risks. Firstly, the interaction between the vehicles is modeled as a graph structure, which is then used to construct an interaction-aware motion prediction module. Then multiple prediction models with isomorphic and different parameters are trained and ensemble technology is used to obtain the uncertainty risk of the prediction network for the prediction results. The model predictive control algorithm is then applied to deal with the risk based on the obtained prediction algorithm uncertainty risk. By comprehensively considering the safety constraints, and vehicle physical property constraints in the optimization problem constraints, a motion planning method for autonomous driving considering the risk of prediction uncertainty is designed. Finally, the motion prediction capability of the established prediction model, the effectiveness of motion planning approach based on model predictive control, and the capability of motion planning to deal with prediction risks are verified based on real driving data set and SUMO simulation platform. The simulation results show that the motion planning method proposed in this paper is capable of sensing the uncertain risks posed by the prediction algorithm while acting to mitigate those risks when confronted with scenarios of high risk of prediction, such as the emergency acceleration and deceleration of nearby vehicles, which can increase the safety of road driving.
