Project 2 Adaptive Cruise Control

As per the Requirement document, implemented the Adaptive Cruise Control feature.

Lead vehicle: To detect the lead vehicle speed, simply added both the radar & camera inputs & the corresponding output is read as Speed profile output.

Drive Vehicle: To regulate the "Drive Vehicle speed, as per the Requirement Document added Cameralnput. Radarinput & Acceleration Mode feedback from ACC Algorithm.

• To detect the Lead vehicle. Radarinput is converted using "Signal Conversion Block
• To avoid the algebraic error "Unit delay block is used for the Acceleration Mode feedback.

ACC Algorithm:

• Adaptive Cruise Control feature has 3 major modes of operation: OFF Mode. STANDBY Mode & ON Mode. This particular requirement has to be implemented as state machine logic in Simulink.
• The input signals to the state machine system are (Signal Name Time Gap. Set Speed Set Gap, CruiseSwitch SetSwitch) Also, the output signals (Signal Name DriveVehicle Speed & LeadVehicle Detected) from requirement-2 is fed back as an input signal into this state machine block.
• Additionally, the output signal (Signal Name LeadVehicle Speed) from requirement-1 is given as an input signal to this state machine.
• Output from this subsystem a signal (Signal Name Acceleration Model which governs the vehicular speed of the drive vehicle which automatically adjust to speed & velocity to match the lead vehicle.
• The rest of the signal developed as per the Requirement

Requirement 1– Lead Vehicle:

• Lead Vehicle is a vehicle which is driving in the road ahead of our drive vehicle. Two input signals (Signal Name: CameraInput_LeadVehicle & RadarInput_LeadVehicle).
• Ideally sensor fusion techniques will be deployed to process & analyze data from camera & radar. For complexity reasons, let’s not adapt to any such algorithms.
• We can simply add both the radar & camera inputs & the corresponding output is read as Speed profile output (Signal Name: LeadVehicle_Speed).
• Speed data of the lead vehicle is critical in implementing the Adaptive Cruise Control algorithm.

Requirement 2 – Drive Vehicle:

• Drive Vehicle is the vehicle driven by the user & this is the vehicle which has ACC algorithm in it.
• Like the Lead Vehicle, Drive Vehicle algorithm also has 2 input signals (Signal Name: CameraInput_DriveVehicle, RadarInput_DriveVehicle) & one signal coming as an Input to this subsystem (Signal Name: Acceleration_Mode) – three inputs into this requirement in total.
• Like the above requirement, sensor fusion techniques will also be deployed here, for complexity reasons we are ignoring them.
• Two output signals come from this subsystem (Signal Name: DriveVehicle_Speed & LeadVehicle_Detected).
• Signal DriveVehicle_Speed is summation of three input signals mentioned above & LeadVehicle_Detected is renamed from Input Signal RadarInput_DriveVehicle by mere use of Signal Conversion block.

Requirement 3 – Adaptive Cruise Control Algorithm:

• Adaptive Cruise Control feature has 3 major modes of operation: OFF Mode, STANDBY Mode & ON Mode. This particular requirement has to be implemented as state machine logic in Simulink.
• The input signals to this state machine system are (Signal Name: Time_Gap, Set_Speed, Set_Gap, CruiseSwitch, SetSwitch).
• Also, the output signals (Signal Name: DriveVehicle_Speed & LeadVehicle_Detected) from requirement-2 is fed back as an input signal into this state machine block.
• Additionally, output signal (Signal Name: LeadVehicle_Speed) from requirement-1 is given as an input signal to this state machine block as well.
• Output from this subsystem is a signal (Signal Name: Acceleration_Mode) which governs the vehicular speed of the drive vehicle which automatically adjusts its speed & velocity to match the lead vehicle.

Lead Vehicle: To detect the lead vehicle speed, simply added both the radar & camera inputs & the corresponding output is read as Speed profile output.

Drive Vehicle:

• To regulate the "Drive Vehicle speed", as per the Requirement Dicument added CameraInput, RadarInput & Acceleration_Mode feedback from ACC Algorithm.

Adaptive Cruise Control Algorithm: State Flow Logic.

In this logic we had created three modes of operation as,

1. ACC_OFF mode.
2. ACC_STANDBY mode.
3. ACC_ON mode.

In ACC_ON mode we have further 6 modes of operations as,

• LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow (Default).
• LeadVehicle_Not_Detected.
• LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume.
• LeadVehicle_Not_Detected_Resume.
• LeadVehicle_Speed_lessthan_Set_Speed.
• LeadVehicle_Speed_equal_Set_Speed.

All these modes of operations are modelled as per the given as mentioned in requirements section.

SLDD file creation: For all the input and output signals resolved and propagated in this model are declared in the SLDD file created as shown below,

Parameter Configuration: For this model different parameters are configured which shown in below snips. change the datas basedd on requirement, which of the signals can be treat as error which or which one is warning which can be neglcted.

Code generation: First select the ert.tlc-Embedded coder.

MAB Testing: Done under By Task Testing. MAB is a type of A/B testing that uses machine learning to learn from data gathered during the test to dynamically increase the visitor allocation in favor of better-performing variations. What this means is that variations that aren't good get less and less traffic allocation over time. We can also check common error made while making model.

MAB Report: I have uploded MAB report for checking futher details.
