Abstract

The paper proposes a supervised adaptive dynamic programming (SADP) algorithm for a full-range adaptive cruise control (ACC) system, which can be formulated as a dynamic programming problem with stochastic demands. The suggested ACC system has been designed to allow the host vehicle to drive both in highways and in Stop and Go (SG) urban scenarios. The ACC system can autonomously drive the host vehicle to a desired speed and/or a given distance from the target vehicle in both operational cases. Traditional adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is a suitable tool to address the problem but training usually suffers from low convergence rates and hardly achieves an effective controller. A SADP algorithm which introduces the concept of inducing region is here introduced to overcome such training drawbacks. The SADP algorithm performs very well in all simulation scenarios and always better than more traditional controllers. The conclusion is that the proposed SADP algorithm is an effective control methodology able to effectively address the full-range ACC problem.
