Control mode switching strategy for ACC based on intuitionistic fuzzy set multi-attribute decision making method

The control mode switching strategy is a crucial part of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) decision algorithm. A novel switching strategy of control mode is proposed, which is designed using an intuitionistic fuzzy set, multi-attribute decision making method (IFSMADM). At first, three modes of cruising, following and approaching are considered for the control modes of the decision algorithm for the ACC. Then, safety performance, comfort performance and economy performance are treated as the attributes needed to assess alternative sets. Furthermore, the linear weighted average method of IFSMADM is used to achieve control mode switching. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified based on actual road test data.
