Abstract
With advanced technologies such as perception and automatic control, automated vehicles (AVs) are gradually replacing human-driven vehicles (HDVs). They will become a significant component of transportation systems. As the crucial longitudinal control model for AVs, the existing adaptive cruise control (ACC) model faces challenges such as poor linear stability and compromised safety. To solve the problem, this paper proposes an adaptive cruise control model to avoid collision risk. First, the delay-considerate collision risk control strategy (DCRCS) is developed to consider vehicles' perception and control delay. Then, a proposed adaptive cruise control (PACC) model is designed by incorporating DCRCS into the ACC model based on the control gain coefficient. Finally, the effectiveness of the PACC model is discussed and analyzed in terms of stability, safety, efficiency, energy consumption, and pollutant emissions through a combined approach of theoretical analysis and simulation experiments. The result shows that (1) compared to the classical ACC model, the PACC model demonstrates significant improvements in system stability, reduced safety risks, enhanced efficiency, and decreased energy consumption and pollutant emissions. These enhancements are observed when the control gain coefficient is set to a positive value. (2) The equilibrium speed minimally influences the effectiveness of the PACC model. Under varying speed conditions, the PACC model consistently maintains stable performance. (3) The effectiveness of the PACC model is closely related to the selection of the control gain coefficient. Considering the effects of the control gain coefficient on stability, safety, efficiency, energy consumption, and pollutant emissions of the PACC model, the optimal range for the control gain coefficient is in the range of [0.8, 1.0]. In summary, compared to the classical ACC model, the PACC model exhibits outstanding performance in various aspects. It provides theoretical support for the longitudinal control of AVs in the future.
