1.2.3 CACC Simulation with Hils Investigation of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control with Experimental Validation A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Pratik Mukherjee IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Zongxuan Sun, Adviser July 2016 © Pratik Mukherjee, 2016 Acknowledgements It is with great honor that I will like to thank my adviser Professor Zongxuan Sun for giving me the opportunity to conduct research under his guidance for my Master’s Plan A thesis. His superior insight into the problem has allowed me to overcome many obstacles while working on the several problems that I have come across in the last two years. His consistent dedication of his time toward his students and focus on individual student’s progress has kept me on track to finish my work. Under his guidance, I have learned to work and think independently and I am constantly improving my problem solving skills which will definitely be an asset that I take with me after I leave this place. Without his continuous support to the whole research team, it would not have been possible for me to graduate on time, with quality. I will also like to thank the primary sponsors for the project, Federal Highway Administration(FHWA). Without their constant financial support and trust it would not have been possible to carry out various crucial tasks. Their constant interest in our progress motivated me to complete my work with dedication to provide quality solutions for every problem I solved, that will stand the test of time. I will also like to thank my lab mates Azrin, Yunli, Abhinav, Chen, Yongsoon, Yaoying and Keyan for constantly motivating me to work hard. Observing their work ethics over these past two years has made me aware of my weaknesses that I need to work on to constantly improve my skills. Pratik Mukherjee i Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my motherland India, my mother and father ii Abstract Increasing effects of global warming have concerned scientists and engineers for quite some time now. The major contributor to global warming has been the inefficient use of energy to fulfill the need for the ever growing human population. One of the major sources of energy is oil which fuels one of its largest consumer, the transportation sector. The Energy Information Administration reported that the U.S transportation sector contributed 28% to the total energy consumption and 72% to the total petroleum consumption in the year 2010. With these concerning developments, it has become critical to find a solution to improve the efficiency of transportation. A solution to this problem can be connected vehicles. Connected vehicle environment paves the pathway for future road transportation. Researches in this area have specifically focused to improve traffic mobility and safety, and also vehicles’ fuel consumption and emissions. A Hardware-in- the-Loop-System (HiLS) test-bed to evaluate the performance of connected vehicle applications has already been developed. A laboratory powertrain research platform, which consists of a real engine, a hydrostatic dynamometer and a virtual powertrain model to represent a vehicle, is connected using a software to a microscopic traffic simulator (VISSIM). Actual fuel and emissions measurements are obtained using this test-bed. This thesis documents the development of the software architecture that enables the different components of the HiLS to communicate with each other in real time. Different methodologies of software design are tested to demonstrate real time execution of HiLS with a 200ms time step. Further, using this test-bed a comprehensive evaluation of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) application has been conducted to compare the fuel consumption and emissions of CACC vehicle and non-CACC vehicle in a traffic network simulated in VISSIM. In literature, CACC application is implemented using several different complex optimization methods based on prediction models derived from measurements of traffic information with the cost of computation power. In this thesis, a heuristic, averaged velocity approach to CACC is implemented using the information from the preceding vehicles which can be used in real time systems like the HiLS for a realistic evaluation of the CACC application. The algorithm designed uses information from iii multiple preceding vehicles to determine a velocity profile for the controlled vehicle which will obtain fuel benefits. The simulation and experimental results obtained using this CACC algorithm prove that using more preceding vehicle information provides higher fuel benefits. This phenomenon is described by the understanding that the accessibility of future information, with regards to the number of preceding vehicle velocity averages, by the controlled vehicle allows the CACC controller to obtain a smoothened velocity profile for the controlled vehicle with suppressed acceleration or decelerations which has a direct correlation with fuel savings. VISSIM traffic simulator is used to simulate different traffic conditions like city driving and highway driving. From the simulation, an individual vehicle is selected to be completely controlled by the CACC controller whereas the other vehicles are controlled byVISSIM’s internal driver model based on the Wiedmann Car following model. Then an extensive study is done through simulation of different traffic scenarios on the fuel consumption of the controlled and the immediate preceding vehicle which is evaluated using the Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) requirement. Further, to validate these simulation results, the HiLS is used to conduct experiments with selected scenarios from the simulations and actual fuel and emissions results for the CACC controlled vehicle and immediate preceding vehicle are compared. From the results obtained, it is realized that CACC application provides significant fuel saving, between 15- 18% approximately for both highway and city driving cases, for the controlled vehicle in comparison to the immediate preceding vehicle. Future work will focus on using the observations from the current CACC methodology and implementing a systematic method, possibly an online optimization method, to find out a general solution where the preceding vehicles’ information can be used. Then CACC application will be extended to evaluate more than one vehicle in a platoon of vehicles. Consequently, HiLS will be used to obtain experimental results. iv Table of Contents List of Tables …………………………………………………………………………………...viii List of Figures………………………………………………………………………….................ix Nomenclature…………………………………………………………………………................xii Chapter 1 Introduction and Background ................................................................................... 1 1.1 Connected Vehicles Application ........................................................................................ 1 1.1.1 Inter Vehicle Communication & Vehicle Infrastructure Integration ..................... 1 1.1.2 Vehicle Communication Devices ................................................................................. 3 1.2 CACC Controller ................................................................................................................ 4 1.2.1 CACC Controller Development .................................................................................. 5 1.2.2 A Simplified CACC Methodology .............................................................................. 6 1.2.3 CACC Simulation with HiLS ...................................................................................... 7 1.3 Experimental Validation of CACC Application .............................................................. 8 1.3.1 Components of HiLS .................................................................................................... 9 1.3.2 Powertrain Research Platform ................................................................................... 9 1.3.3 Virtual Hybrid Powertrain ....................................................................................... 10 1.3.4 Fuel and Emissions Measurement ............................................................................ 11 1.3.5 VISSIM Traffic Simulator ........................................................................................ 12 1.3.6 Integration of Various Software Platforms using Middleware .............................. 12 1.4 Thesis Contribution .......................................................................................................... 13 Chapter 2 Implementation and Evaluation of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control Using Simulation ..................................................................................................................................... 15 2.1 Introduction and Background ......................................................................................... 15 2.1.1 The Distance Corridor Constraints .......................................................................... 16 2.1.2 A Simplified Approach to CACC ............................................................................. 17 2.2 CACC Controller Design ................................................................................................. 19 2.2.1 Velocity Trajectory Generator Equation ................................................................. 20 2.3 Applying Constraints – Derivation of the Velocity Correction term ........................... 21 2.3.1 The Hard Constraints ...............................................................................................

This has led to an exponential increase in the complexity of software functions in vehicles, making it essential for manufactures to guarantee their correctness. Traditional software testing is reaching its limits, consequently pushing the automotive in- dustry to explore other forms of quality assurance. One such technique that has been gaining momentum over the years is a set of verification techniques based on mathematical logic called formal verification tech- niques. Although formal techniques have not yet been adopted on a large scale, these methods offer systematic and possibly more exhaus- tive verification of the software under test, since their fundamentals are based on the principles of mathematics. In order to be able to apply formal verification, the system under test must be transformed into a formal model, and a set of proper- ties over such models, which can then be verified using some of the well-established formal verification techniques, such as model check- ing or deductive verification.

  • FMI Target for Simulink Coder, It Is Now Possible to Export Models from Simulink to Any Platform That Supports Fmus for Co-Simulation
    Supporting your vision Cross-Platform Modeling with FMI Target for Simulink® Coder™ Open technology standards for an integrated product lifecycle Engine Transmission Thermal EV/HV Chassis Compo- Models Models Systems Models nents Models Functional Mock-Up Interface The challenge for manufacturers of complex machinery that heavily rely on components from suppliers is the seamless exchange of data and specifications during the development. The same holds true for large corporates with multiple R&D departments at various locations using several development tools due to different objectives. Those challenges include different programming languages from the various tools, the lack of standardized model interfaces and the concerns for the protection of intellectual property. The development of the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) has enabled software-, model- and hardware-in-the-loop simulations with dynamic system models from different software environments. With the FMI Target for Simulink Coder, it is now possible to export models from Simulink to any platform that supports FMUs for Co-Simulation. FMI for Co-Simulation The goal is to couple two or more models with solvers in a co-simulation environment. The data exchange between subsystems is restricted to discrete communication points. The subsystems are processed independently from each other by their individual solvers during the time interval between two communication points. Master algorithms control the synchronization of all slave simulation solvers and the data exchange between the subsystems. The interface allows for both standard and advanced master algorithms, such as variable communication step sizes, signal extrapolation of higher order and error checking. FMI Target for Simulink® Coder™ FMI for Co-Simulation For the exchange of models across different platforms, the FMI Target for Simulink Coder enables the export of models from Simulink as FMUs for Co-Simulation.

(Laurentian University) M.A.Sc. (McMaster University) Supervisors: Dr. Mark Lawford, Dr. Alan Wassyng Number of Pages: xi, 206 ii For my husband, Jason iii Abstract Model-Based Development (MBD) is an approach that uses software models to describe the behaviour of embedded software and cyber-physical systems. MBD has become an increasingly prevalent paradigm, with Simulink by MathWorks being the most widely used MBD platform for control software. Unlike textual programming languages, visual languages for MBD such as Simulink use block diagrams as their syntax. Thus, some software engineering principles created for textual languages are not easily adapted to this graphical notation or have not yet been supported. A software engineering principle that is not readily supported in Simulink is the modularization of systems using information hiding. As with all software artifacts, Simulink models must be constantly maintained and are subject to evolution over their lifetime. This principle hides likely changes, thus enabling the design to be robust with respect to future changes. In this thesis, we perform repository mining on an industry change management system of Simulink models to understand how they are likely to change.

  • TPT Tutorial
    Time Partition Testing Systematic automated testing of embedded systems PikeTec GmbH, http://www.piketec.com There are only a few tools for testing embedded systems in the automotive domain. Their function usually lies in the test-management or automation of tests by means of test scripts. Time Partition Testing (TPT) noticeably exceeds this. It combines a systematic and very graphic modelling technique for test cases with a fully automatic test execution in different environments and automatic test evaluation in a unique way. In doing so, TPT even supports testing of control systems. Time Partition Testing (TPT) was developed to graphically and compactly model tests of embedded systems – especially those with continuous behaviour –, to automate those tests and to offer a systematic that supports the tester in selecting an ideal amount of test cases. The intuitive graphic modelling technique for test cases, the mechanisms for the structuring of complex test problems, the simple integration in any test- bench and a number of additional interesting features makes TPT a unique test solution. All this has contributed to TPT becoming the central testing tool in a large number of development projects at car manufacturers and suppliers and has become an integral part of the process chain. Embedded systems TPT is specialized on testing embedded systems whose inputs and outputs can be represented as signals. Most control systems belong to this system class. The implementation language of the embedded system (e.g. ‘C’ code, C++, MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, Statemate or a combination of multiple languages) is irrelevant for TPT. TPT does not require a particular implementation language.
