A Data-driven Optimization-based Control Model for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control Under Uncertainty

A Data-driven Optimization-based Control Model for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control Under Uncertainty Motivated by connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies, this talk presented a data-driven optimization-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) model for the cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) of a string of CAVs under traffic uncertainty. The proposed data-driven MPC modeling framework aimed to improve…
