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

现代地面车辆是复杂的信息物理系统（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角色。对于这种网络人车系统（CHVS），人类驾驶员、车辆主动运动控制以及车载实时计算和通信之间的协同协作和集成对于提高车辆驾驶安全性至关重要。 随着车载计算和通信技术的最新发展，本项目的目标是开发车载自适应和个性化的人类驾驶员模型，创建特定于驾驶员的车辆主动运动控制系统，设计能够有效地与个性化车辆运动控制方法相结合的动态车载实时计算任务调度方法，并集成用于特定于驾驶员的车辆到车辆通信，车辆间运动控制。该研究成功完成后，可以创建最佳综合车载计算和通信，个人驾驶特征，车辆动力学和主动运动控制的方法，以形成一种新的CHVS，可以提高驾驶安全性并增加避免碰撞的可能性。研究目标将通过分析，计算和实验研究来实现。驾驶模拟器和真实的车辆实验以及高保真模拟将有助于调查。该项目的研究成果将通过通常的学术出版物，CPS会议和访问相关公司进行产业合作来传播。一些研究成果将用于丰富不同学科的本科生和研究生课程。高中夏令营和本科生的研究机会将通过这个项目产生，以吸引学生从事研究和追求科学和工程高等教育。

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.
