功能集成是车辆控制中的一个发展趋势,通常涉及多个控制器的协调以同时实现多种目标。为了应对传统集成模型预测控制(MPC)在“即插即用”控制系统设计中的挑战,本文提出了一种新颖的多目标代理基础模型预测控制(AMPC)方案。该方案通过引入交替方向乘子法(ADMM),在解耦目标的同时近似全局优化。我们系统地开发了三种保持收敛性的公式,并首次将其应用于复杂的车辆控制系统。实验结果表明,所提方法在灵活性和计算成本上优于集成MPC。

📄 摘要(原文)
Functional integration is a growing trend in vehicle control, often involving the coordination of multiple controllers to achieve various objectives simultaneously. The need for flexibility and reliability has led to a "plug-and-play" approach in control system design, which presents challenges for traditional integrated model predictive control (MPC). Agent-based model predictive control (AMPC) has recently emerged as a distributed solution that treats controllers as agents, creating a collaborative framework among them to reach a common goal. However, this approach struggles to manage distributed conflicting objectives when agents are coupled or interdependent. To address this, we propose a novel, practical distributed control scheme called multi-objective AMPC, which adapts the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) into a general control strategy that approximates global optimization while decoupling objectives. We systematically develop three formulations that maintain convergence while addressing control regularization and inequality constraints, applying them to complex vehicle control systems for the first time. The proposed method has been tested on two vehicle control scenarios with a multi-objective topology. Different formulations are compared through simulations, and the most computationally efficient one was implemented on an electric vehicle for real-world evaluations. The results demonstrate that the proposed multi-objective AMPC can converge approximately to the same global optimum as integrated MPC with greater flexibility and the potential to reduce computational costs.
