Modelling components for the fuel consumption investigation in Model in the Loop environment: Parameter tuning for an ecological fully-adaptive cruise control system

摘要

The research presented here is framed in the area of the design of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), carried out in the so-called automotive V-Cycle. In particular we concentrated our effort at the Model In the Loop (MIL) level. Indeed we developed an additional component for the fuel consumption evaluation at the MIL stage. The developed component has been based on the combination of a simplified model of the vehicle dynamics, and a fuel consumption model calibrated in previous experiments. The developed module is used for tuning the parameters of an Ecological fully Adaptive Cruise Control System.
