{"title":"Cooperative truck platooning trial on Canadian public highway under commercial operation in winter driving conditions","authors":"Luo Jiang, Javad Kheyrollahi, Charles Robert Koch, Mahdi Shahbakhti","doi":"10.1177/09544070241245477","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/09544070241245477","url":null,"abstract":"Cooperative truck platooning, a convoy of trucks driving together while communicating and coordinating with each other, represents a technology-driven approach to improve energy conversion efficiency, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance road safety. Despite numerous studies have explored these potentials, there is a scarcity of empirical investigations into on-road cooperative truck platooning during commercial operations, particularly in winter driving conditions. This paper presents the findings of an experimental study on the first commercially focused truck platooning implementation on a Canadian public highway in the winter season, using two SAE level 2 class 8 trucks. The on-road trials took place on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, between Calgary and Edmonton, with ambient temperatures ranging from −27°C to 12°C, and truck weights spanning 16–39 tons. Nine well-trained and experienced drivers conducted 41 incident-free (platooning and baseline) test trips, covering a distance of 22,855 km. The experimental results confirmed the feasibility of operating commercial truck platooning with 3–5 s time gaps on public roads during the Canadian winter season including various road surface conditions. The results also show that the platooning engagement ratio reached up to 88.9%, with an average of 61.6% across 25 platooning trips. Furthermore, the follower truck achieved a 1.6% fuel savings on flat road sections during platooning, but its freight transportation specific fuel consumption was higher than that of the lead truck on hilly terrain. Test results indicate the lighter truck exhibited higher specific nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Moreover, the frequent engagement and disengagement of the cooperative truck platooning system had adverse effects on the powertrain system of the truck, leading to increased fuel consumption and engine-out NOx emissions. This study provides real-world data to identify limitations and needed areas for improvement in adapting cooperative truck platooning technology to commercial operations on public roads.","PeriodicalId":54568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part D-Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140630714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tire oven aging test has been widely accepted as an accelerated laboratory test to induce large thermal oxidation of rubber compounds with mechanical degradations under high temperatures. Then, the oven-aged tires are tested on rolling drums to compare the durability hours and failure locations. As an assembly of various components with different structures and formulations, tire aging and durability tests are complicated issues incorporating oxygen permeation, consumption, and mechanical degradation. Therefore, it calls for a predictive workflow and model to evaluate the oven aging extent and corresponding durability performance. Based on the computed local oxygen consumption of tires, this article assigns the aged property to each element in a tire FEA (Finite Element Analysis) model by building the quantitative correlations between compound oxygen consumption and degraded mechanical properties. Subsequently, tire mechanics simulations are conducted with SEDG (Strain Energy Density Gradient) to evaluate and compare the endurance of oven-aged tires with different inner liner structures and formulations.","PeriodicalId":54568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part D-Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":"203 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140626986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the double-layer artificial potential field, which consists of traditional potential cost layer and safe level layer, is adopted here to keep planning realtime, meet safe limitations and satisfy operational requirements, and the postprocessing of mean filtering and closed loop forward simulation is for vehicle dynamic constraints. Secondly, it is worth developing active disturbance rejection control strategy, which has the ability to accommodate uncertainty, since an accurate mathematical model of autonomous sweeper vehicle is unavailable as there being inevitable uncertainties in the system state observation and unavoidable environmental disturbances. Thirdly, several typical scenarios are designed in order to verify the real-time and reliability of the proposed algorithm. The results illustrate that the CL-FDAPF planner has highly real-time and stability as the peak time less than 0.045 s and mean time being about 0.02 s in 1000 cycles, and FO-LADRC controller has robust both at uncertainty of wheelbase and steering ratio, since the FO-LADRC have smaller lateral errors compared with two existing methods.","PeriodicalId":54568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part D-Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140610759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes an intelligent body frame structure modeling and optimization system based on conceptual design, S-iVCD (Intelligent System for Conceptual Design of Vehicle Body Structure). Based on deep learning methods and body design sketches, a conceptual model of body structure is quickly established. Based on the data parameters stored in the Excel table, the system is seamlessly connected to the domestic independent finite element software SIPESC to calculate the simulated working conditions.

Based on the above problems, this paper designs a two stage obstacle-avoidance trajectory planner based on nonlinear optimization theory. In first stage Part-NLP, only considering the safety obstacle avoidance, a point mass model and linearization constraints are established to quickly solve the initial trajectory. In the second stage Full-NLP, considering smooth soft constraints comprehensively, the initial trajectory is optimized by establishing driving corridors and a lightweight iterative framework. In control module, this paper selects a linear quadratic form lateral trajectory tracking controller, and the parameters were optimized through the carnivorous plant algorithm. The joint simulation results show that in dynamic traffic environment of curved roads, the two stage planner proposed can accurately plan safe and smooth obstacle avoidance trajectories, and there is a significant reduction in time consumption compared to traditional NLP algorithms. The control strategy can accurately track the planned trajectories, with lateral error controlled within plus or minus 0.1 m, heading error controlled within plus or minus 0.15 rad, speed tracking error controlled within plus or minus 0.15 m/s, and vehicle yaw angle error controlled within plus or minus 0.04 rad; the hardware-in-loop test results indicate that the controller can achieve real-time and accurate trajectory tracking.","PeriodicalId":54568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part D-Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140560632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking into account the winter temperatures and the unique drive structure of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, a specially designed driving mode for low-temperature environment is implemented. Based on this drive mode, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) integrated thermal management structure is proposed to heat the battery and the passenger compartment, thereby improving energy efficiency. A mathematical model is used to establish the entire vehicle thermal management system, which is then experimentally validated. Under the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) at ambient temperatures of −5°C, −10°C, −15°C, and −20°C, the calculation results of engine waste heat utilization and PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating are compared and analyzed. The results show that the average heating rate of the thermal management system proposed in this study is 23% faster than that of PTC heating at low temperature. The SOC decreases to 63.43% when engine waste heat utilization is adopted. When PTC heating is used, the SOC decreases to 49.18%. However, the advantage of the faster rate of engine waste heat compared to PTC heating becomes less pronounced as the ambient temperature decreases.","PeriodicalId":54568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part D-Journal of Automobile Engineering","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140560629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This harmonious integration between the driver and the intelligent control system holds paramount significance for the successful execution of driving tasks, ultimately contributing to the development of more advanced and user-friendly automobiles. A pivotal element in advancing from assisted to autonomous driving lies in the establishment of a human-machine co-driving mode. This research delineates a longitudinal control strategy tailored for intelligent vehicles featuring human-machine interaction. The approach involves the creation of a personalized safe distance model for car-following by collecting driver characteristic parameters. Focused on the car-following methodology, this study formulates the kinematics state space equation, performance index function, and constraint conditions governing car-following dynamics. Subsequently, a car-following control strategy is devised based on model predictive control (MPC), which is addressed through rolling optimization techniques. Building upon this foundation, a human-machine driving control strategy is proposed to dynamically allocate driving authorities in real-time. This strategy takes into account speed and vehicle distance risk as two-dimensional inputs, employing a cooperative driving control strategy within the dual-drive dual-control system.
