Multi-Objective Cooperative Control of Vehicle Platoon Based on Fuzzy MPC

To simultaneously optimize multiple performances of the cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) system, a fuzzy MPC control strategy is proposed to achieve multi-objective cooperative control for electric vehicle platoons. The longitudinal kinematic analysis of the vehicle platoon is conducted to establish the platoon model. Based on the analysis of system performance, safety, comfort, and following performance are selected as the system's performance indexes, and a comprehensive performance function for the MPC is constructed. Fuzzy control theory is employed to optimize the weight parameters, enabling the CACC system to adapt to different conditions. The effectiveness and reliability of the fuzzy MPC control strategy are verified through co-simulation using Carsim and Simulink.
