Adaptive model predictive control for co-ordination of compression and friction brakes in heavy duty vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an adaptive model predictive control scheme is designed for speed control of heavy vehicles. The controller coordinates use of compression brakes and friction brakes on downhill slopes. Moreover the model predictive controller takes the actuator constraints into account. A recursive least square scheme with forgetting is used in parallel with the controller to update the estimates of vehicle mass and road grade. The adaptation improved the model predictive controller. Also online estimation of the road grade enhanced the closed-loop performance further by contributing through feedforward control. Simulations of realistic driving scenarios with a validated longitudinal vehicle model are used throughout this paper to illustrate the benefits of coordinating the two braking mechanisms and influence of unknown vehicle mass and road grade.

Adaptive Continuously Variable Compression Braking Control for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Modern heavy-duty vehicles are equipped with compression braking mechanisms that augment their braking capability and reduce wear of the conventional friction brakes. In this paper we consider a heavy-duty vehicle equipped with a continuously variable compression braking mechanism. The variability of the compression braking torque is achieved through controlling a secondary opening of the exhau...
متن کاملSpeed gradient approach to longitudinal control of heavy-duty vehicles equipped with variable compression brake
This paper considers a longitudinal speed control problem for heavy-duty vehicles equipped with variable compression brake. The use of compression brake reduces the wear of the conventional friction brakes, and it is, thus, a preferred way of controlling the vehicle speed during a steady descent or noncritical braking maneuvers. To perform more aggressive (critical) braking maneuvers or control...

This paper employs nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for robust trajectory-free Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) of biped robots. The NDO is used to reject the additive disturbances caused by parameter uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, joints friction, and external slow-varying forces acting on the biped robots. In contrary to the slow-varying disturbances, handling sudden pushing ...
