The Vehicle Model Acceleration Control for Platooning

Abstract

Abstract The design and implementation of the vehicle acceleration control loop containing a moment of inertia emulator are introduced in this paper. The vehicle is simulated in real-time using a simplified longitudinal one-wheel vehicle model. The model takes into account the road parameters and the effect of air resistance on the vehicles driving performance. The model is designed to reduce the traction force ripple. The acceleration control and the vehicle model are implemented on Simatic Open Controller using MATLAB and SIMATIC Target 1500S. The vehicle drive and the load torque are simulated on the same Open Controller. The properties of the presented implementation are demonstrated by results collected from the Open Controller.
