Roll stabilisation of road vehicles using a variable stiffness suspension system

A variable stiffness architecture is used in the suspension system to counteract the body roll moment, thereby enhancing the roll stability of the vehicle. The variation of stiffness concept uses the ‘reciprocal actuation’ to effectively transfer energy between a vertical traditional strut and a horizontal oscillating control mass, thereby improving the energy dissipation of the overall suspension. The lateral dynamics of the system is developed using a bicycle model. The accompanying roll dynamics are also developed and validated using experimental data. The positions of the left and right control masses are sequentially allocated to reduce the effective body roll and roll rate. Simulation results show that the resulting variable stiffness suspension system has more than 50% improvement in roll response over the traditional constant stiffness counterparts. The simulation scenarios examined is the fishhook manoeuvre.     

Driver models for personalised driving assistance

We propose a learning-based driver modelling approach which can identify manoeuvres performed by drivers on the highway and predict the future driver inputs. We show how this approach can be applied to provide personalised driving assistance. In a first example, the driver model is used to predict unintentional lane departures and a model predictive controller is used to keep the car in the lane. In a second example, the driver model estimates the preferred acceleration of the driver during lane keeping, and a model predictive controller is implemented to provide a personalised adaptive cruise control. For both applications, we use a combination of real data and simulation to evaluate the proposed approaches.

交叉口可变导向车道与信号配时协同优化模型

通过交叉口可变导向车道的车道功能与信号配时的协同优化,构建优化模型,对交叉口时空资源进行优化配置,以达到交叉口车辆平均延误最小的目标。根据优化模型所得的车道功能分配和信号配时参数进行交通仿真实验,探讨可变导向车道条件下不同信号相位相序方案对交叉口运行效率的影响,并分析不同进口道以及不同流向的车流受到的具体影响。结果表明,协同优化模型能显著降低交叉口的车均延误、提高车流运行效率,并使得在某些交通量条件下使用信号优化无解的问题变为有解;同时发现不同的相位相序方案对设有可变导向车道的进口及其对向进口的左转车流运行有较大的影响,合理的交叉口相位相序设置能够有效地减少交叉口时空资源的损失。

A cellular automata traffic flow model combined with a BP neural network based microscopic lane changing decision model

The purpose of this study is to propose a cellular automata (CA) traffic flow model with high accuracy for lane change decision and name it LCCAM. A driving simulator experiment was conducted to find factors affecting lane changing decisions. A back-propagate (BP) neural network was used to obtain the lane changing rules for the microscopic lane changing decision model (LCDM), and the collected accurate vehicular trajectory data were used to train the BP neural networks for the prediction of lane changes. After comparing different input variable combinations, the most accurate input setting was determined, including the locations and velocities of neighboring vehicles, inner/outer lane indicator, and the speed limits of the corresponding lane. Then, the determined BP neural network was adopted in the LCCAM as the LCDM. Simulation results showed that the LCCAM can capture important characteristics such as the mean velocities and the number of lane changes well, by comparing with observed traffic flow. Meanwhile, the LCCAM illustrates a better performance in replicating the number of lane changes than the other reference CA models. The research results show that the LCCAM proposed in this study will have potential and value for autonomous driving and active safety analysis in the future.
