Modeling adaptive preview time of driver model for intelligent vehicles based on deep learning

Abstract

In order to improve the adaptability and tracking performance of intelligent vehicles under complex driving conditions, and simulate the manipulation characteristics of the real driver in the driver–vehicle–road closed-loop system, a kind of adaptive preview time model for intelligent vehicle driver model is proposed. This article builds the intelligent vehicle driver model based on optimal preview control theory and the basic preview time is identified to minimize path error under various conditions based on particle swarm optimization. Then, the ideal compensation preview time is constructed in various conditions and the appropriate factors affecting compensation preview time are filtered out according to correlation analysis. Moreover, the architecture and training procedure of deep network is specified for compensation preview time prediction. Finally, the adaptive preview time is modeled by combining the basic preview time with the compensation preview time and the validity of adaptive preview time model is verified by the driver–vehicle–road closed-loop system under normal and aggressive driving conditions. The results show that the proposed adaptive preview time model can help intelligent vehicles better adapt complex driving conditions and effectively improve the path-following performance.
