A novel distributed cooperative formation control method inspired by the aggregate behaviors of fish groups is proposed for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) formation, achieving both leader-follower structure and fuel consumption optimization. The method demonstrates excellent performance in terms of leader generation, follower tracking, and hybrid powertrain systems.
A novel distributed cooperative formation control method inspired by the aggregate behaviors of fish groups is proposed for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) formation. Firstly, a hierarchical control architecture is established for formation keeping with fuel consumption (FC) optimization simultaneously. The top layer is to generate a leader with the optimal performance based on the nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) technique. A fish swarm optimization (FSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the nonlinear MPC problem by imitating the predation behaviors of the fish swarm. The middle layer is a decentralized intelligent cruise control (ICC) for follower vehicles to track their leader imitated the behaviors of fish swarm, and some design criteria are presented based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The under layer is to achieve a satisfying performance for the hybrid powertrain systems of followers. Finally, the bio-inspired method applied for PHEV formation is verified with a satisfying robustness, fuel economy, car-following and also real-time processing performances. According to the results, the PHEV formation using the proposed method represents a better car-following performance compared with the normal adaptive cruise control (ACC) method and a 21.26% improvement of FC compared with the rule-based energy management strategy (EMS). The computational burden is also reduced by the bio-inspired method.
