Using cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), it is possible for a platoon of vehicles to travel safely while increasing the traffic throughput and reducing the fuel consumption. Specifically, the maximization of the traffic throughput and the minimization of the fuel consumption is best supported by a constant spacing policy (CSP). In addition, driving safety requires the attenuation of any disturbances through the vehicle platoon, which is captured by the notion of string stability. In order to realize a CSP while maintaining string stability, each follower vehicle in a platoon should obtain leader and predecessor information via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. In this context, it has to be respected that CACC platoons under the leader predecessor following (LPF) topology with CSP are affected by different delays in terms of string stability, performance and applicability. These are the leader follower (LF) communication delay, predecessor follower (PF) sensor and communication delay. The main aim of this thesis is to recover the ideal delay-free LPF CSP performance even in the presence of the aforementioned delays, hence confirming the applicability of the LPF topology with CSP in practice. To this end, the thesis presents a robust controller synthesis procedure and then proposes several modifications of the stateof- the-art control architecture. Hereby, the main novelty is given by prediction of the future leader acceleration, which can be used to eliminate the LF communication delay. Moreover, to remove the PF communication delay, a novel and simple method of estimating the predecessor vehicle acceleration from the leader acceleration is introduced. In order to increase the performance under predecessor disturbances, a prediction observer is employed to combine the communicated and estimated predecessor information. The developed overall control architecture is then further adapted to include a Smith predictor that helps overcome the PF sensor delay. Simulation experiments confirm that the performance of the introduced topologies closely approximates the ideal delay-free LPF topology with CSP.

String Stability Under Actuator Saturation on Straight Level Roads: Sufficient Conditions and Optimal Trajectory Generation
Bingol, Hilal; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2022-01-01)
The heterogeneity of vehicles is an important factor when realizing cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) in practice. Specifically, it has to be considered that platoons generally consist of vehicles with both different dynamic properties and actuator limits on the engine and braking force, which is expected to have a negative impact on important properties such as string stability. Accordingly, the subject of this paper is the preservation of string stability for CACC in heterogeneous vehicle strings...
Communication and coordination for urban intelligent transportation: architecture and algorithms
Atagoziev, Maksat; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2-10)
In the scope of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), the automation and coordination of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) lane changes (LCs) have a strong impact on driving safety and traffic throughput. Accordingly, this thesis develops algorithms for the coordination of CAV LCs that are then used for controlling the traffic at intersections. First, this thesis focuses on the coordination of LCs of a group of CAVs to minimize the time when all LCs are completed, while keeping small inter-vehicle ...
APPLICATION OF A FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER FOR SPEED CONTROL ON A SMALL-SCALE TURBOJET ENGINE
Usenmez, Serdar; Ekinci, Sinan; Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2014-06-20)
Having a small-scale turbojet engine operate at a desired speed with minimum steady state error, while maintaining good transient response is crucial in many applications, such as UAVs, and requires precise control of the fuel flow.
Experimental investigation of shaft transducerless speed and position control of ac induction and interior permanent magnet motors
Goksu, Omer; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2010-01-01)
In order to drive AC motors with high efficiency and high motion performance, and to provide accurate speed/position control, motor shaft speed and/or position feedback is required. For this purpose, usually transducers (encoder, tachogenerator, resolver, etc.) are installed on the shaft. However, transducers are not preferred in most of the applications since they increase the cost and decrease the reliability of the drive due to their failure prone structure and connections. In such applications, the spee...
Dynamic Inversion Based Control of a Missile with L1 Adaptive Control Augmentation
Kutluay, Kadriye Tiryaki; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2010-09-10)
Dynamic model inversion is a popular method for flight controllers of air vehicles reducing the need for gain scheduling. However, imperfect model inversion, and non-accurate aerodynamic data may cause degradation of performance, and may lead to un-stability of the controller. The novel L1 adaptive control augmentation system offers an adaptive element to augment the control signal to account for matched and un-matched system uncertainties. In this paper, dynamic inversion controllers designed for the contr...
