Abstract

Motion signal should be generated via the AV control system targeting the maximum motion comfort for the users. Nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) is recently used in AVs to achieve this critical task. However, nonlinear MPC has lots of hyperparameters, including weights and MPC horizons, that should be tuned systematically to reach the system’s high efficiency. The energy usage and motion comfort have a direct relationship. The generation of high-fidelity motion cues for AV users leads to higher energy usage. Hence, there is a need for the use of a multi-objective optimisation technique to tune the weights wisely to satisfy the appropriate energy usage and motion comfort for the AV users. In this study, multi-objective NSGA-II is employed, for the first time, to tune the weights of a nonlinear MPC-based controller in AVs. The proposed method is designed and developed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The simulation results show minimum energy usage by generation of smooth motion signals, delivering maximum comfort to AV users.
