Vehicle Automatic Iterative Learning Control based on Drivers' Starting Behavior ∗

Early studies on intelligent control methods for automatic starting control for vehicles mainly focus on traditional parametric adjustment. However, attempts toward the combination of learning algorithms and models are rare. When drivers' starting behavior is not considered and tedious parameters are merely used for drive control, the effects result in discomfort for drivers. Therefore, to imitate drivers' starting behavior when dealing with automatic drive control in vehicles, we must first develop an acceleration fitting based on DFT by analyzing the starting characteristics. Then, we design an iterative learning algorithm to achieve automatic starting control of vehicles. Finally, a simulation test is conducted based on CARSIM to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method
