    In order to solve the problem that the traditional two-vehicle cooperative lane change based on V2V communication has relatively low success rate and cannot guarantee the optimality of traffic efficiency when the condition of front traffic and surrounding vehicles is inaccurate or unknown, an ICV two stage cooperative obstacle-avoidance lane change method based on scene division is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the lane changing process is divided into longitudinal space adjustment stage and lateral lane changing stage, and quartic polynomial and quintic polynomial are used to describe the ICV trajectory of the two stages respectively. Then, four scenarios are designed based on the relative position of the vehicles when the longitudinal space adjustment ends, and a lane change model is designed with the vehicle’s final adjusted speed, distance, and lane change time as the objective functions to ensure the success rate of the lane change while reducing the impact of lane change behavior to the traffic flow. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, feasible working conditions are designed in the four scenarios. Through analyzing velocity-time and distance-time relationship diagrams of the spacing adjustment process, it is proved that the spacing adjustment process satisfies the safety constraints. In addition, by calculating the boundary value of the lane-changing obstacle avoidance algorithm by traversing the scenarios, it is illustrated that there exists a correlation between the ICV lane change obstacle avoidance success rate and the distance between vehicles and the distance between vehicles and obstacles.

    Risk prediction of driving is very important for improving the driving safety of intelligent vehicles. In this paper, a car-following risk prediction model (CRPM) is proposed. The deceleration of the vehicle in a car-following process can reflect the driver's cognitive risk, so longitudinal accelerations are taken as the basis for the car-following risk level labeling, and the risk spatiotemporal distribution characteristics based on the anisotropic driving risk field are constructed and used as input of the CRPM. The CRPM extracts the spatial distribution characteristics through Convolutional Neural Network, and processes the temporal dependence relationship by bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network and attention mechanism, and finally outputs the car-following risk level. The CRPM is trained and tested on the aerial driving dataset AD4CHE. The results show that the CRPM has good prediction accuracy and long advanced prediction time, with a prediction accuracy of 99.67%, and a prediction accuracy of 96.73% within 2 s before the occurrence of risk.

    In recent years, some technologies have emerged to tackle the challenges of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in dynamic scenes, among which the integration of SLAM and moving object tracking (MOT) has gained significant attention as it not only tackles the problem of dynamic scenes but also enhances the system's understanding of the surrounding environment. In this paper, an efficient real-time online visual SLAM-MOT fusion system is introduced in this paper, which takes binocular vision or RGBD as input. With the help of a 2D object detection network, this approach can track the camera and dynamic object poses efficiently, accurately and robustly, while generating a sparse point cloud map. Additionally, to improve the precision and accuracy of multi-dynamic object tracking, a strategy combining the cascaded matching and IOU matching strategy is introduced. The Ackermann steering model is used to simplify the motion estimation of the tracked objects to reduce number of matching points required to solve dynamic target pose. By employing a factor graph, the tracking results of both the camera and dynamic objects are jointly optimized, simultaneously enhancing the accuracy of the camera, object poses, and map points. Finally, the proposed method is compared with other approaches using the KITTI tracking dataset. The results show that, while satisfying real-time requirements, this method can still achieve accurate camera and dynamic object pose tracking.

    For the problem that existing intelligent vehicle trajectory tracking control algorithms are difficult to simultaneously ensure tracking accuracy, lateral stability, comfort, and real-time control, a multi-objective optimized trajectory tracking control strategy (MO-EMPC) based on the theory of explicit model predictive control (EMPC) is proposed. Firstly, the multi-objective function and constraints considering tracking accuracy, lateral stability, and comfort are established. Then, for the problem of low real-time performance of traditional MPC control, a multi-objective optimized trajectory tracking controller based on EMPC is designed, which transforms the repeated online optimization and solution process into an equivalent segmented affine system (PPWA) by introducing in the multi-parameter quadratic programming (MPQP) theory, and calculates the optimal explicit control law offline for real-time control to be invoked, so as to reduce the online computation time. Finally, based on the CarSim/Simlink joint simulation method, the trajectory tracking multi-objective optimization effect of the designed controller is compared and verified with the MPC control effect. The results show that the proposed trajectory tracking strategy outperforms the MPC controller in terms of lateral stability and comfort under the premise of ensuring good tracking accuracy, with the online operation speed improved by 56.63%.

    When the driver is not required to supervise the vehicle at all times during the L3 autonomous system operation, he or she is often removed from the driving task and may be engaged in a variety of non-driving related tasks. When the autonomous driving system encounters unexpected situation and sends a takeover request, whether the driver can safely and timely conduct human-machine interaction and take over the vehicle is an important issue for L3 autonomous driving. In this paper, five different road scenarios are designed for L3 autonomous driving takeover experiments based on the difference of road alignment, the entropy of driver's gaze in different road scenarios is analyzed, a Markov chain gaze model of driver's takeover behavior is constructed, and the visual transfer characteristics of the driver during human-computer interaction in the intelligent cockpit are explored. The results show that the driver shows obvious staring behavior in the process of take over, with a focus on the road ahead, sub task areas and human-machine interaction areas. With the decrease of road curvature radius, the driver's staring behavior changes obviously, and the driver's attention to the front and right side of the road increases, while the attention to the sub-mission area decreases. The results can provide a scientific basis for the optimization of the human-machine interface for autonomous driving, thereby improving driver takeover performance and driving safety.

    Autonomous vehicles often use multiple sensors to detect and track surrounding targets. However, accurate multi-target detection and tracking remains a major challenge and difficulty in achieving autonomous driving due to the heterogeneous characteristics of sensors and complex driving environments. For the task of multi-target detection and tracking in Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), a sensor configuration scheme based on a visual sensor and five millimeter-wave radars (1V5R) is used in this paper and a multi-sensor information fusion algorithm based on distributed robust Kalman filters is designed to realize accurate perception of surrounding targets. Firstly, considering different data characteristics of sensors, various Kalman filters such as linear Kalman filters and extended Kalman filters are adopted for data fusion and a 1V5R information fusion framework is built based on distributed Kalman filtering algorithm. Then, to reduce the impact of sensor dynamic error on fusion accuracy, the robust estimation theory is introduced into the Kalman-weighted fusion, enabling real-time estimation and correction of dynamic error. Finally, the proposed multi-sensor information fusion algorithm is validated through simulation and vehicle tests. The results show that compared to measurements from a single sensor, the proposed algorithm can robustly perform the task of information fusion of multiple sensors and improve the accuracy of detection and tracking, with good robustness.

    For the problem that oxygen starvation and pressure fluctuation affect dynamic performance and service life of vehicular fuel cells system, in this paper, a cooperative control strategy of air system air mass flow and pressure based on oxygen excess ratio compensation is proposed. Firstly, a 120 kW model of vehicular fuel cells air system is established, with its parameters determined by bench experiments, and the transfer function model fitted according to the experimental data. Secondly, the cathode pressure of the stack is indirectly obtained based on the extended state observer, and the feedforward + PI is used to establish a cascade control model of the outer oxygen excess ratio in cascade control to correct the target flow. Furthermore, the inverted decoupling and active disturbance rejection controller are used to decouple the airflow and pressure from the inner loop control, and the total disturbance composed with the model uncertainty and external disturbance is estimated and compensated. Simulation and experimental studies show that the proposed cascade control strategy based on oxygen excess ratio compensation can quickly track the oxygen excess ratio, increase the stack power and accurately control the pressure, which proves the cooperativity and robustness of the strategy.

    To mitigate the detrimental effects of cell expansion on battery module structures, this paper introduces a novel optimization structure for battery modules with H-shaped cell arrangement, aiming to address the limitations in suppressing expansion effects of traditional square battery modules. Firstly, thermal expansion experiments were conducted on square battery cells to acquire temperature fields and expansion displacement data. The results indicated that the top of the battery cells exhibited the highest heat generation, leading to an expansion deformation increase of 0.63 mm compared to the initial thickness. Then, thermal expansion models were established based on experimental data for battery cells, traditional square battery modules, and the newly proposed battery modules, enabling analysis of expansion under various charging rates. Finally, through simulation analysis, it was revealed that the maximum expansion force of the end plate in the new battery module decreased by 36.2%, the maximum expansion deformation of the module decreased by 21%, and the maximum stress on the end plate and side plate decreased by 61.5% and 37.4%, respectively.

    As the mechanism of risky driving research continues to improve, external situational factors and drivers' internal cognitive differences have gradually become the hot and difficult points of current research. To study the relationship between time pressure, working memory capacity, and driving performance, a combination of subjective and objective methods, such as time constraint and motivation, is used to realize the imposition of time pressure and a complex spanning paradigm is used to measure drivers' working memory capacity. Based on the driving simulator system, relevant driving scenarios are constructed to conduct psychological and simulator behavioral tests. Drivers' psychological, operational, and vehicle operation data are collected to analyze the effect of time pressure, working memory capacity, and their combinations on driving performance. The results show that time pressure has a significant effect on speeding ratio, collision probability, braking reaction time, and left-turn selection gap, and the higher the time pressure, the larger the speeding ratio, the higher the collision probability, the faster the braking reaction time, and the smaller the left-turn selection gap s, the more frequent the frequency of the time pressure. The working memory capacity has an effect on the braking reaction time only. The higher the working memory capacity is, the faster the braking reaction time is. Time pressure and working memory capacity have no interaction effect on braking reaction time, but with the increase of time pressure, the difference in braking reaction time between those with high working memory capacity and those with low working memory capacity gradually decreases. These findings provide new insights into driver cognition for driving performance under time pressure.

    The problem of lane-changing decision-making on highways,characterized by complex scenarios,strong uncertainty,and high real-time requirements,is a research hotspot and challenge in the field of autonomous driving both domestically and internationally. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) exhibits excellent real-time decision-making capabilities and adaptability to complex scenarios. However,under the constraints of limited training samples and cost,its learning effectiveness remains limited,making it difficult to ensure optimal driving efficiency and complete driving safety. In this paper, a DRL-Mixture of Expert (DRL-MOE) lane-changing decision-making method based on the improved DRL model is proposed. Firstly,the upper-level classifier dynamically determines the activation status of the lower-level DRL expert or heuristic expert based on the input state features. Then, to enhance the learning effectiveness of the DRL expert,the method utilizes Behavior Cloning (BC) for initializing the neural network parameters to make improvements on the traditional Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm. Finally, the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) and the strategy of Minimizing Overall Braking Induced by Lane changes (MOBIL) are designed as heuristic experts to ensure driving safety. The simulation results show that compared to non-mixed expert DRL methods,the proposed DRL-MOE model improves driving efficiency by 15.04%,ensuring zero collisions and zero departures,demonstrating higher robustness and superior performance.

    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.

    The effectiveness of low viscosity lubricating oil is demonstrated from the two aspects of friction loss and pumping power consumption, and its feasibility is investigated by simulation calculation and tribological test. The effect of low viscosity lubricating oil on heavy-duty commercial diesel engines is studied from three dimensions of economy, emission and reliability. The economy is mainly evaluated by comparing the friction loss and fuel consumption. The emission performance is evaluated by the WHTC emission cycle and oil consumption. The reliability is evaluated by comparison of bench durability and road test. The results show that the friction loss can be reduced by 3.6%~12.5%. The fuel economy is significantly affected by the load, and at the common working conditions low viscosity lubricating oil cand save (1~2) g/(kW?h). There is little effect on NO x and PM emissions. Oil consumption differences are within 5%. In the durability process, the oil pressure and leakage fluctuation meet the requirements, and the oil monitoring data are acceptable. After durability, the appearance of the key friction pairs is acceptable and the change of wear dimension is small, so the reliability is acceptable. The market verifies that the fuel saving effect is about 6.41%, and the oil change interval is not affected by low viscosity lubricating oil. The research conclusions provide data basis for the completion of dual-carbon targets and the promotion and application of low-viscosity lubricants, especially the switch of mature models in sale.
