Abstract

The intelligent trend of vehicles became irresistible, and the application of adaptive cruise control systems to different vehicles, especially to electric vehicles, became a trend. The application of adaptive cruise control systems played a significant role in environmental protection, road-traffic efficiency and safety. In this paper, we proposed a hierarchical controller for the adaptive cruise system of the electric bus. Based on millimeter wave radar, target tracking and recognition algorithms for straight and curved conditions had been performed. In the upper controller, a proportional differential control algorithm had been adopted based on the vehicle spacing with variable time-headway, and its stability had been proved. In the lower level controller, the lookup table for acceleration and braking had been designed based on test data and a switching rule for acceleration and braking had been formulated. The results of offline simulation and hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation showed that the adaptive cruise controller designed with mature control strategy can achieve faster and more accurate control response, real-time performance and was suitable for application on real vehicles.
