Model Predictive Control of CACC with Disturbance Estimation
摘要
To tackle traffic congestion and improve fuel efficiency, we propose a Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) system using Model Predictive Control (MPC). This system maintains optimal vehicle spacing in a string of vehicles, reducing stop-and-go traffic and fuel consumption. Unlike human drivers, the CACC system can significantly decrease inter-vehicle distances, enhancing traffic flow and reducing aerodynamic drag. Our approach integrates disturbance estimation and intent sharing via Lagrangian interpolation, resulting in improved state tracking and reduced computational demands.
