With the increasing system complexity in various engineering applications, greater demands are being placed on the reliability and safety of these systems. A kind of more comprehensive requirement called “health” has been naturally put up beyond reliability and safety. Consequently, Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) for complex systems has naturally become a hotspot in systems engineering. Moreover, it has been applied in many areas, such as aerospace, machinery, and power electronics. This paper summarizes and proposes a framework for the health assessment of complex systems, which consists of four aspects: data acquisition, data processing, health assessment, and health prediction. At last, the prospect view of health assessment is presented, and a system-leveled open-source project, namely OpenHA (Open Health Assessment) is suggested.

In order to solve the problem of speed planning in complex road environment (large curvature, low adhesion) meeting the constraints of safety and efficiency, a differential equation programming method based on vehicle dynamics was proposed. Firstly, the structural parameter expression of the limit velocity satisfying the lateral tire force constraint was derived in steady-state steering. Secondly, the spatial combination of the tire forces of the front wheel and the rear wheel is shown in the F-F diagram. And the implicit differential equation considering load transfer and driving mode factors was derived. The limit velocity along the path can be obtained by solving the differential equation. A method for calculating the limit speed based on discrete path information was given. Finally, a model prediction controller was designed and a co-simulation platform of CarSim and Simulink was built. The trajectory tracking simulation experiments were carried out with the planned limit speed on the continuous and discrete information paths. The results show that the proposed limit speed planning method can complete the trajectory tracking task as soon as possible in the complex road environment and control the- tire force within the range of stable friction circle.

Abstract ( 828 )   HTML ( 21 )   PDF (1275KB) ( 1059 )  

To address the problem of unpredictable and variable errors when using wheel odometry for localization, a wheel odometry error prediction model based on Transformer neural network is developed to accurately predict the odometry error that accumulates and changes as the mileage increases, and to improve the accuracy of localization using wheel odometry under GPS occlusion. First, two models were established without and with the driving condition characteristics, then they were compared with the LSTM model under various driving conditions. The experimental results show that the Transformer-based wheel odometry error prediction model can accurately predict the odometry error with higher accuracy, stability and reliability than the LSTM model under both regular driving conditions and challenging driving conditions where it is difficult to measure the odometry signal accurately. At the same time, compared with the Transformer model without considering the driving condition characteristics, the Transformer model with considering the driving condition characteristics improve the performance in all evaluation indexes, which proves that considering the driving condition characteristics can effectively improve the prediction performance of the model.

Abstract ( 766 )   HTML ( 13 )   PDF (1981KB) ( 707 )  

In the traditional technology of lateral localization using lane markings identified by cameras, incorrect matching of lanes or their left and right boundary points causes large localization errors under driving conditions such as lane changing. A multi-indicator weighted evaluation map matching algorithm combined with lane change recognition method was proposed. Further, a lane left and right boundary point determination method was designed, and a camera-based bilateral boundary line lateral localization method was proposed based on accurate matching to lanes and their boundary points, which can improve the lateral localization accuracy relative to lanes, and then fuse the camera with GPS, IMU, wheel odometer, and lightweight lane level map to form a complete localization system. The experimental results show that the accuracy and stability are significantly improved compared with the traditional fusion localization method using cameras and lane markings. The localization system designed in this paper provides a low-cost and high-accuracy solution for autonomous driving localization.

Abstract ( 737 )   HTML ( 7 )   PDF (1757KB) ( 619 )  

Aiming at the problem of intelligent vehicle's driving environment understanding and behavior decision-making in complex scenarios, an integrated moving horizon decision-making method for lane and speed of intelligent vehicle was proposed. To obtain the vehicle positions based on the centerlines of different lanes, the vehicle-road space reconstruction model in complex scenarios and the integrated model of lane and vehicle speed with non-integer longitudinal vehicle speed and integer lane number as control variables was established. The safety of future trajectories of the vehicle and oncoming vehicles from multiple directions was analyzed. The integrated decision-making of lane and speed of intelligent vehicle in complex scenarios was described as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem. In order to verify the effectiveness of the integrated moving horizon decision-making method of lane and speed, the joint simulation of the vehicle dynamics simulation software veDYNA and Simulink is carried out in the unprotected intersection scenario. The results show that the decision-making method can change lanes in the face of slow-moving or abruptly cut-in vehicles; for safety, intelligent vehicle can make decisions to slow down and give way, when it and the surrounding vehicles drive to the intersection area at the same time.

Abstract ( 590 )   HTML ( 9 )   PDF (1086KB) ( 486 )  

To solve the string stability problem of cooperative control of constrained vehicle platoon with predecessor-following topologies, the distributed parameterized model predictive platooning control algorithm was proposed. Firstly, the longitudinal kinematic model of vehicle platoons is established, which then is transformed into a linear state space model via feedback linearization. Secondly, the local controllers of the vehicle platoon are determined by solving the local optimization problems of vehicles constructed using the predictive trajectory information of neighborhood vehicles. To reduce the computational demand of solving the local optimal control problem, the incremental control input over the prediction horizon is parameterized as the form of the stair structure. Then an iterative algorithm of model predictive platooning controller is designed to satisfy the constraints of input/output and string ability. Furthermore, by using Lyapunov stability theorem and Moore-Penrose inverse matrix theory, the sufficient conditions are established to ensure asymptotic stability of the vehicle platoon as well as the analysis of the tracking performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by comparison simulation with conventional platooning control algorithm.

Abstract ( 789 )   HTML ( 14 )   PDF (1920KB) ( 735 )  

To identify drivers’ takeover behavior and intention in an autonomous driving environment, with the help of a driving simulator and an eye-tracking device, the simulation tests were conducted to let drivers takeover an autonomous vehicle ten times in five emergency situations on a two-way six-lane freeway of 18.95 km. Using the vehicle operation and visual attention data, the three common factors were extracted by the factor analysis, and the K-means clustering analysis was used to qualitatively identify the drivers' takeover behavior and intention. The factor analysis was respectively combined with the support vector machine and the long short-term memory neural network, then the two models were obtained to quantitatively identify drivers' takeover behavior and intention. Research results show that: drivers' takeover behavior is influenced by their longitudinal response, lateral response and visual attention; the clustering analysis can qualitatively describe the takeover behavior and intention of different types of drivers and reveal the potential driving safety risks; compared with the support vector machine, the long short-term memory neural network and the factor and support vector machine model, the factor and long short-term memory model is more effective in identifying drivers' takeover intention, with the best four performance indices of accuracy rate, recall rate, F1-score and precision rate; and the common factors which are obtained using the factor analysis for data downscaling and effective information enrichment are helpful to improve the classification performance of the driving takeover intention recognition model. This study is helpful to identify drivers who are at a higher risk of takeover and to design some targeted driving assistance strategies.

Abstract ( 849 )   HTML ( 11 )   PDF (2567KB) ( 355 )  

In allusion to the disadvantages of traditional RRT algorithm such as strong randomness, slow convergence, lack of continuity and being unable to meet the dynamic constraints of most robots, and Kinodynamic RRT* algorithm which conforms to dynamic constraints but have a slow search speed, a DKRRT*-APF algorithm besed on Kinodynamic RRT* algorithm was proposed. Kinodynamic RRT* node expansion was improved from unidirectional expansion to bidirectional expansion to speed up trajectory search efficiency; meanwhile, in the sampling stage of Kinodynamic RRT*, the idea of map potential field of APF algorithm was introduced, and special gravity function and repulsion function were designed to make the target points and obstacles in the map provide some target guidance and obstacle avoidance effect for the sampling nodes, and shorten trajectory planning time. To verify the feasibility of this idea, the DKRRT*-APF algorithm was tested by using the double integral dynamic unmanned vehicle model and the linearized unmanned quadrotor model. The simulation results show that the trajectory planning by DKRRT*-APF algorithm conforms to the dynamic constraints of the robot model. When the average trajectory loss is the same, the average number of generated nodes and the average trajectory planning time of DKRRT*-APF algorithm are effectively improved compared with KRRT*.

Observer⁃based control⁃anti⁃disturbance⁃obstacle avoidance of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle
Guo-yuan QI,Hao CHEN
Journal of Jilin University(Engineering and Technology Edition). 2023, 53 (3):  810-822.  DOI: 10.13229/j.cnki.jdxbgxb20220592
Abstract ( 554 )   HTML ( 2 )   PDF (1695KB) ( 445 )  

Aiming at the problem of actuator tracking error in the commonly used “planning-tracking”obstacle avoidance method for quadrotors, an obstacle avoidance position controller with obstacle constraints was proposed by adopting an integrated design scheme of control-anti-disturbance-obstacle avoidance. The Barrier Lyapunov function was used to constrain obstacle boundary. The target point becomes the balance point by introducing distance information between the aircraft and the target position, through which the problem of the unreachable target in traditional potential field methods was solved. For the problems of strong state coupling and inaccurate model building in the quadrotor control system, an observer-based model compensation control strategy is proposed and applied to the attitude control. The compensation function observer is used to estimate the model-bias and external disturbance, and then the estimated value is fed back compensated to the controller in real time to achieve the adaptive anti-disturbance control effect. Finally, the above algorithm is simulated and verified, and the results show that the observer-based model compensation control has better control effects than other control algorithms in transient performance, tracking expected response and anti-disturbance. The obstacle avoidance position controller does not need to consider the problem of tracking error. In terms of time in simulation, the integrated obstacle avoidance method is greatly shortened compared with traditional "planning-tracking" obstacle avoidance method, and static obstacle avoidance can be achieved by giving the starting and target positions.

Due to the limitation of the flight environment of the quadrotor UAV and its own actuator, its attitude is often subject to various constraints. To ensure that the attitude always changes within the constraint range, the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) was introduced to ensure that the attitude always varies within the constraint range to ensure that the system can achieve the preset performance. A compensation function observer based BLF attitude constrained backstepping control (CFO-BLF) scheme was proposed. Simulink simulation compares the CFO-BLF backstepping control, ESO-BLF backstepping control and PID control algorithms by testing the attitude tracking performance of the quadrotor UAV to verify the effectiveness and superiority of CFO-BLF.

Aiming at the problem that the online trajectory planning of high-speed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the ascending phase needs to realize online fast solution under multiple constraints, firstly, the motion and dynamics model of the vehicle was built, and the constraints faced by the trajectory planning were given. According to the constraints and flight characteristics, the action state space and reward evaluation function that meet the mission requirements were designed based on the near end strategy optimization (PPO) strategy gradient optimization. Secondly, based on the characteristics of strong time memory of the trajectory planning in the ascending phase of the aircraft, the short and long term memory network (LSTM) network structure was introduced on the basis of the traditional PPO algorithm, and the PPO-LSTM algorithm was used to solve the online trajectory planning problem in the ascending phase of the high-speed aircraft, and the model that can plan the optimal angle of attack strategy in real time according to the aircraft state was trained. Finally, the performance of the algorithm was verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that the root-mean-square error of the terminal state of the algorithm in this paper is reduced by about 50% compared with the traditional PPO and particle swarm optimization, which fully proves the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract ( 764 )   HTML ( 21 )   PDF (2188KB) ( 811 )  

A distributed adaptive sliding mode time-varying formation control scheme based on neural network state observer was proposed to solve the problem of unmeasurable information of multi-quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) system in directed switching communication network. Firstly, by designing a distributed time-varying formation control protocol, UAVS can communicate with each other only by the status information of their neighbors, which is free from the dependence on global information. Due to the underdrive characteristic, a position-assisted controller was designed to solve the target information of two attitude angles and control thrust. At the same time, a neural network state observer was designed to observe the unmeasurable information of the system, and the observed values were feedback to the adaptive sliding mode controller in real time, which improves the robustness of the UAV system. The quadrotor UAV formation system is analyzed by Lyapunov's theorem, and it proved that the multi-UAV formation error is bounded and converges to near zero. The simulation results show that the proposed control method can realize the time-varying formation control of the multi-UAV system and verify the validity of the theoretical results.

Aiming at the problem that ground points in point cloud data can affect the precision and speed of environment perception, an accurate segmentation method of ground point cloud based on plane fitting was proposed. Firstly, the scene point cloud was divided into several areas based on the projection distance. Secondly, according to the average height in the area, the divided ground points and the normal vector direction of the ground plane, the ground plane fitting point was determined, and the ground plane was fitted. Finally, according the distance from the point to the ground plane to achieve ground segmentation. Using the KITTI dataset and the collected point cloud data to compare the proposed algorithm with four algorithms: RANSAC、GPF、R-GPF and PatchWork, verify the effectiveness of area division, fitting point screening and ground plane normal vector direction screening for ground segmentation. The experimental results show that after the area division, the far-distance sparse ground can be divided; after the fitting point screening, the ground segmentation accuracy reaches 0.9417 under the condition of low iteration. After screening the normal vector direction of the ground plane, fitting the wall to the ground was avoided. The proposed method is better than the four compared algorithms in terms of F1 score, recall rate and accuracy rate, and the speed can reach 42.78 Hz, which can divide the ground accurately and quickly.
