Robust Multi-Model ACC Control Design

Abstract

In this paper an ACC Stop and Go control design procedure is proposed by taking into account driver’s behaviour characteristics. It will be shown that a personalization feature can be considered in the control scheme by suitably exploiting the acceleration reference generation strategy only. It will be shown how the vehicle longitudinal dynamics can be characterized and identified by using standard vehicle documentation and field recorded data by means of a multi-model approach. By means of this plant description, a low order robust controller can be designed to regulate the vehicle dynamics according to the personalized speed reference profile.
