Integrated Longitudinal Speed Decision-Making and Energy Efficiency Control for Connected Electrified Vehicles

To improve the driving mobility and energy efficiency of connected autonomous electrified vehicles, this paper presents an integrated longitudinal speed decision-making and energy efficiency control strategy. The proposed approach is a hierarchical control architecture, which is assumed to consist of higher-level and lower-level controls. As the core of this study, model predictive control and reinforcement learning are combined to improve the powertrain mobility and fuel economy for a group of automated vehicles. The higher-level exploits the signal phase and timing and state information of connected autonomous vehicles via vehicle to infrastructure and vehicle to vehicle communication to reduce stopping at red lights. The higher-level outputs the optimal vehicle velocity using model predictive control technique and receives the power split control from the lower-level con-troller. These two levels communicate with each other via a controller area network in the real vehicle. The lower-level utilizes a model-free reinforcement learning method to improve the fuel economy for each connected autonomous vehicle. Numerical tests illustrate that vehicle mobility can be noticeably improved (traveling time reduced by 30%) by reducing red-light idling. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed method are validated via comparison analysis among different energy efficiency controls (fuel economy promoted by 13%).
