CPS: Synergy: Real-Time Cyber-Human-Vehicle Systems for Driving Safety Enhancement

现代地面车辆是复杂的网络物理系统（CPS），其中许多功能是通过机械系统和电子控制单元之间的协作交互来实现的。此外，人类驾驶员在车辆驾驶中也扮演着重要的角色。对于这种网络-人-车系统（CHVS），驾驶员、车辆主动运动控制和车载实时计算与通信之间的协同协作与集成是提高车辆行驶安全性的关键。随着车载计算和通信技术的最新进展，本项目旨在开发车载自适应和个性化的人类驾驶员模型，创建针对驾驶员的车辆主动运动控制系统，设计可与个性化车辆运动控制方法有效综合的动态车载实时计算任务调度方法，并集成针对驾驶员的车辆间运动控制的车对车通信。这项研究一旦成功完成，将为优化综合车载计算和通信、个人驾驶特性、车辆动力学和主动运动控制创造方法，从而形成一种新型的CHVS，可以提高驾驶安全性，提高避免碰撞的可能性。研究目标将通过分析、计算和实验研究来实现。驾驶模拟器和真实车辆实验以及高保真仿真将有助于研究。该项目的研究成果将通过常规的学术出版物、CPS会议和访问相关公司进行工业合作来传播。部分研究成果将用于丰富不同学科的本科生和研究生课程。通过该项目，将产生高中夏令营和本科生研究机会，以吸引学生从事研究和追求科学和工程方面的高等教育。

Modern ground vehicles are complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) in which many functions are achieved by collaborative interactions between mechanical systems and electronic control units. In addition, human drivers also play important roles on the vehicle driving. For such cyber-human-vehicle systems (CHVS), the synergistic collaborations and integrations among human drivers, vehicle active motion control, and onboard real-time computation and communication are critical for enhancing vehicle driving safety. With the recent advances on vehicle onboard computation and communication technologies, this project aims to develop onboard-adaptable and personalizable human driver models, create driver-specific vehicle active motion control systems, design dynamic onboard real-time computation task scheduling methods that can effectively synthesize with the personalized vehicle motion control methods, and integrate the vehicle-to-vehicle communications for driver-specific, inter-vehicle motion control. The research, upon successful completion, can create methodologies for optimally synthesizing onboard computation and communications, individual human driving characteristics, and vehicle dynamics and active motion control to form a novel CHVS that can enhance the driving safety and increase the likelihood of collision-avoidance. The research objectives will be pursued through analytical, computational, and experimental studies. Driving simulator and real vehicle experiments together with high-fidelity simulations will assist the investigations.The research results from this project will be disseminated through usual academic publications, CPS meetings, and visits to relevant companies for industrial collaborations. Some of the research findings will be used to enrich several undergraduate and graduate courses in different disciplines. High-school summer camp and undergraduate student research opportunities will be generated through this project to attract students to engage in the research and to pursue higher education in science and engineering.
