DEVELOPMENT OF MATLAB MODEL

This is the main model subsystem that having 9 inputs

CameraInput_LeadVehicle, RadarInput_LeadVehicle, CameraInput_DriveVehicle, RadarInput_DriveVehi, Time_Gap, Set_Speed, Set_Gap, CruiseSwitch and SetSwitch entering into the Adaptive Cruise Control subsystem and five output 1.Acceleration_Mode 2.LeadVehicle_Speed, DriveVehicle_Speed, LeadVehicle_Detected

there are 3 requirements are designed in 2 subsystems and one in state flow chart

Requirement 1– Lead Vehicle:

• A lead vehicle is a vehicle that 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 cameras & 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 that has ACC algorithm in it.
• Like the Lead Vehicle, the Driver 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 the 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:

Requirement 3a – ACC OFF MODE state logic:

• This is the default state inside state machine logic. Output signal Acceleration_Mode is at value 0 in this state.
• This state is governed by the input signal CruiseSwitch.
• If CruiseSwitch is equal to 1, state ACC STANDBY mode will get activated. If CruiseSwitch is equal to 0, state ACC OFF mode will get activated, from either ACC ON mode or ACC STANDBY mode

Requirement 3b – ACC STANDBY MODE state logic:

• This is the second activated state inside state machine logic. Output signal Acceleration_Mode is at value 1 in this state.
• This state is governed by both input signals CruiseSwitch & SetSwitch.
• If CruiseSwitch is equal to 1, state ACC STANDBY mode will get activated. If CruiseSwitch is equal to 0, state ACC OFF mode will get activated, from either ACC ON mode or ACC STANDBY mode
• If SetSwitch is equal to 1, state ACC ON mode will get activated. If SetSwitch is equal to 0, state ACC STANDBY mode will get activated.

Requirement 3c – ACC ON MODE state logic:

This state will be activated when the input signal SetSwitch is equal to 1. There are 6 sub-states to this state logic: They are:

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

Requirement 3c (i) – LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow (ACC ON MODE):

• This is the default substate inside the ACC ON MODE state. Output signal Acceleration_Mode is equal to 2.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow to LeadVehicle_Not_Detected; Input signal condition LeadVehicle_Detected == 0.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow to LeadVehicle_Speed_lessthan_Set_Speed; Input Signals condition (LeadVehicle_Detected == 1) && (LeadVehicle_Speed < Set_Speed) || (Time_Gap < Set_Gap).

Requirement 3c (ii) – LeadVehicle_Not_Detected (ACC ON MODE):

• Output signal Acceleration_Mode is equal to 1.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Not_Detected to LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow; Input signals condition [(LeadVehicle_Detected==1) && (DriveVehicle_Speed == Set_Speed) && (LeadVehicle_Speed >= Set_Speed) && (Time_Gap >= Set_Gap)]
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Not_Detected to LeadVehicle_Speed_lessthan_Set_Speed; Input signals condition [(LeadVehicle_Detected == 1) && (LeadVehicle_Speed < Set_Speed) || (Time_Gap < Set_Gap)]

Requirement 3c (iii) – LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume (ACC ON MODE):

• Output signal Acceleration_Mode is equal to 3.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume to LeadVehicle_Detected_Follow; Input signals condition [(DriveVehicle_Speed == Set_Speed) && (LeadVehicle_Speed >= Set_Speed) && (Time_Gap >= Set_Gap)]
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume to LeadVehicle_Not_Detected_Resume; Input signal condition LeadVehicle_Detected==0.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume to LeadVehicle_Speed_equal_Set_Speed; Input Signal condition [(DriveVehicle_Speed < Set_Speed) && (LeadVehicle_Speed > DriveVehicle_Speed) && (Time_Gap >= Set_Gap)]

Requirement 3c (iv) - LeadVehicle_Not_Detected_Resume (ACC ON MODE):

• Output signal Acceleration_Mode is equal to 1.

Requirement 3c (v) - LeadVehicle_Speed_lessthan_Set_Speed (ACC ON MODE):

• Output signal Acceleration_Mode is equal to 4.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Speed_lessthan_Set_Speed to LeadVehicle_Not_Detected; Input signal condition [(LeadVehicle_Detected == 0) && (DriveVehicle_Speed == Set_Speed)]

Requirement 3c (vi) - LeadVehicle_Speed_equal_Set_Speed (ACC ON MODE):

• Output signal Acceleration_Mode is equal to 5.
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Speed_equal_Set_Speed to LeadVehicle_Not_Detected_Resume; Input signal conditions is [(LeadVehicle_Detected == 0) || (DriveVehicle_Speed <= Set_Speed)]
• Condition to transit from LeadVehicle_Speed_equal_Set_Speed to LeadVehicle_Detected_Resume; Input signal conditions [(DriveVehicle_Speed < Set_Speed) && (LeadVehicle_Speed > DriveVehicle_Speed) || (Time_Gap >= Set_Gap)]

2. Requirement Tagging

all the requirements are tagged in order for better understandability, anyone who is reviewing the model or who is trying to update the model can get a clear idea of what logic is used in the system. from the requirement manager, we can see what are all are tagged and the description.

Requirement Tagging and Traceability report

I am only sharing 2 or 3 snapshots of the report here but the whole report is attached below

Developing SLDD

3. Developing SLDD

all the inputs, outputs, calibration parameters are saved in SLDD so while simulation the model takes all the values and its parameters from the Simulink Data Dictionary

4. Signal Resolution for inputs and outputs

the inputs and output signals are resolved so the signals will take the values from sldd and pass them to the logical blocks. Otherwise, it may take some junk values if it is unresolved

5. Model Update.

The model update is done by Ctrl-D. this is done to check for any static errors. If no errors are coming the model is working fine without any errors.

6. Simulation

The model is simulated too for checking for errors and warmings

7.Configuration Parameter Update

Various configuration parameters are updated as per the code generation the solver type should be fixed for code generation

8. Model Advisory Report

By running the model advisor tool, we can see commonly made modeling errors.
