Abstract

Considering the high accuracy requirement of information exchange via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, an extended state observer (ESO) is designed to estimate the opening angle change of an electronic throttle (ET), wherein the emphasis is placed on the nonlinear uncertainties of stick-slip friction and spring in the system as well as the existence of external disturbance. In addition, a back-stepping sliding mode controller incorporating an adaptive control law is presented, and the stability and robustness of the system are analyzed using Lyapunov technique. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted using simulation. The results show that, compared with back-stepping control (BSC), the proposed controller achieves superior performance in terms of the steady-state error and rising time.

1. Introduction

Transportation cyber-physical systems (T-CPS) aim to achieve full coordination and optimization of transportation systems, via the increased interaction and feedback between the transportation cyber systems and transportation physical systems [1–3]. For example, in the vehicle platoon, the desired control objective is that all vehicles in that platoon move with a safe space headway and a safe speed. Once an accident occurs in front of the platoon, the leading car must take an emergency brake to avoid collision, and then the following vehicles will respond to the front vehicles correspondingly. In this context, the V2V-based communication of information on the opening angle of the electronic throttle (ET) of the preceding vehicles in a lane enables a following vehicle to react as fast as possible to avoid a collision by adaptively adjusting its ET. On the other hand, an elegantly designed controller could be applied for the throttle to track the desired valve opening angle, which can improve the fuel economy, emissions, and vehicle drivability [4].

Based on traffic models, many researchers have demonstrated that the headway spacing between preceding vehicles and following vehicles can be kept safe via speed controllers, which can effectively guarantee the stability of platoon of vehicles and avoid collision [5–10]. Since the vehicle speed is related to the opening angle of the ET [5], the stability of the platoon of vehicles is associated with electronic throttle control (ETC). However, the ETC with high performance is a challenging problem, due to the nonlinear factors such as parametric uncertainty, stick-slip friction, gear backlash, and nonlinear spring [11–14]. Consequently, the study on control strategy for ET has attracted considerable attention in recent years.

Several control strategies have been proposed to improve the performance of ETC including (i) linear control [12, 13], (ii) optimal control [15–17], (iii) sliding mode control [18–21], (iv) model approximation control [14, 22], and (v) intelligent control [11, 23–27]. Deur et al. [12, 13] propose a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller that compensates the effects of friction and limp-home using a feedback compensator. Vašak et al. [15] propose a model predictive optimal controller to handle with nonlinearities. However, the mixed-integer programming cannot be implemented in a real-time manner due to its computational complexity. Subsequently, Vašak et al. [16] deal with this problem through the precomputation of the state feedback control in the process of dynamic programming offline. Nevertheless, the control law obtained from a look-up table will lead to the deterioration of control performance. On the other hand, sliding mode control (SMC) for ET has attracted more attention due to its strong robustness. Horn and Reichhartinger [19] propose a high-order SMC to design ET controller, and then the twisting and the supertwisting algorithm are used to eliminate the impacts of chattering caused by the variable structure. Furthermore, Pan et al. [20] put forward the sliding mode observer based SMC for ET valve. However, compared with [19], the work of [20] does not reject the influences of chattering effectively. Recently, Bai and Tong [21] propose the adaptive back-stepping SMC for ET system. However, they assume that the throttle opening angle change is measurable, which is not true in practice.

Recently, intelligent approaches have been widely used in the engine control, such as controller design, parameter identification, or fault diagnosis. Sheng and Bao [26] propose a fractional order fuzzy-PID controller for ET, and the fruit fly optimization algorithm is used to search for the optimal values of the controller parameters. However, the gear backlash torque is ignored in this control strategy, which plays an important role in the controller design. Wang and Huang [27] put forward an intelligent fuzzy controller with a feedforward term to deal with the nonlinear hysteretic of ET. Meanwhile, the new closed-loop back-propagation tuning is also proposed for the fuzzy output membership function to get better tracking performance. Unfortunately, the fuzzy rule for the feedforward controller is designed too simple to illustrate the characteristics of the nonlinear hysteresis. Moreover, with the development of automobile electronic technology, Yadav and Gaur [28] put the ETC into the uncertain hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) speed control, where a self-tuning fuzzy PID controller and a special sliding mode adaptation mechanism are developed to achieve the robust performance of the ET controlled HEV. However, the use of the sign function in the SMC brings high-frequency chattering, which usually causes serious problems for actuators in real applications.

Since it is extremely difficult to measure those signals including the opening angle change of ET, the nonlinear factors, and external disturbance, Hu et al. [4] use a reduced-order observer to estimate the throttle opening angle change. Thereafter, a back-stepping controller is designed for ETC based on Lyapunov techniques. However, the accuracy of the proposed method relies heavily on the precise information of the throttle; thus its robustness to estimation error should be improved. Moreover, the effect of torque caused by air flow and parameters variation is ignored in the algorithm, which is significant for the practical performance of the ETC.

Regarding the aforementioned issues, an extended state observer (ESO) based adaptive back-stepping sliding mode controller for ET valve is proposed in this paper, and then an adaptive control law is further designed using Lyapunov-based techniques. Finally, the numerical experiments are conducted and the results show that the combination of the adaptive back-stepping and SMC can improve the performance of ETC in terms of the steady error and the rising time.

The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the mathematical model of the ET system including friction, nonlinear spring, and gear backlash. Section 3 designs an ESO for ET. Section 4 proposes an adaptive back-stepping SMC controller. Section 5 performs simulation-based numerical experiments and compares the performance of the proposed controller with that of BSC controllers. The final section provides some concluding remarks.

2. Model

As shown in Figure 1, ET valve consists of a DC motor, a gearbox, a valve plate, a position sensor, and a dual return spring [11].

According to Kirchhoff’s law, the model of the motor winding circuit is as follows [4]: where and are the armature inductance and the overall resistance of the armature circuit, respectively. And , represent the dc motor armature current and the input control voltage, respectively. and denote the chopper gain and the electromotive force constant, and is the motor angular velocity.

In terms of the torque balance principle, the dynamic characteristic of throttle valve is given by [4] where is the position (opening angle) of throttle valve, is the overall moment of inertia with respect to the motor side, is motor torque constant, is the throttle return spring torque, is the torque caused by the air flow, and is gear ratio. is frictional torque caused by Coulomb and sliding friction as follows [4]: where is Coulomb friction coefficient and is sliding friction coefficient. In addition, the throttle return spring torque is given by [4] where is spring elastic coefficient, is the spring tightening torque coefficient, and is the default opening angle of the ET.

The system sampling time is chosen with respect to the dominant time constant of the linearized ET model and is set to [12]. The armature current dynamics can be neglected since the time constant . Therefore, (1) can be simplified as [12, 15]

Based on (2)–(5), the ET model is

Then, let and ; the state-space expression of (6) can be written as where , , and .

Let represent the total disturbance including the combining the , unknown (the torque caused by the air flow), and the external disturbance; we can rewrite (7) with consideration that the Coulomb friction coefficient is very small as follows: where , , and .

Taking the parametric variations of ET into consideration, (8) can be further rewritten as where , , .

Further, we have where is the total uncertainty given by where . and are the system parametric uncertainties.

3. Extended State Observer Design

Since ESO can estimate the system states as well as disturbance, we use the ESO to estimate the opening angle change of ET [29–31]. Based on (8), the nonlinear system is designed as follows [29]: where . In order to facilitate analysis, we also define , and is a nonlinear function. Hence, the ESO can be expressed as follows [29]:

Defining , , , then based on (8) and (13) we can obtain where is derivative of .

Assume that is bounded, and the nonlinear function is smooth; that is, and . Hence, (14) can be rewritten as follows:

Suppose

Substituting (16) into (15), the state-space equation of (15) can be expressed as

Define

Then (17) can be rewritten as

It is shown from (19) that can be determined by . Hence, we could choose appropriate parameters to guarantee the closed-loop stability of system (19).

Submitting (16) into (12), the ESO can be obtained as follows: where the nonlinear function satisfies the following three conditions [29]:(i) is continuously differentiable;(ii);(iii).

4. Adaptive Back-Stepping SMC Design

To overcome the disturbance and ensure the robustness of controller [32–34], we design the adaptive back-stepping controller with SMC for the ET system. Figure 2 illustrates the control strategy, where is the estimation of opening angle change for the ET.

The back-stepping technique consists of a step-by-step construction of a new system with state variables , with being the desired value for state . Let the desired ET angle be , and we start by constructing the first state variable as the tacking error: Then, we will design the second desired state such that the state satisfies if , where is a positive constant. Then, it follows from (21) and (9) that . Hence, we have , and the second system state variable is constructed as The candidate Lyapunov function can be chosen as [35] Then, we have Based on the fact that , we know that ; thus it is obtained that To facilitate subsequent development, a sliding surface in terms of and is defined as follows: where .

Remark 1. It is worthwhile to point out that, in general, the sliding mode surface is usually defined as for traditional back-stepping based SMC [36], for which it is required to guarantee that the system state converges to the sliding mode surface in finite time, and then, we can derive from (25) that will be stabilized to origin. However, unlike the traditional approach, we define the sliding surface as in (26) other than , and it is shown in the subsequent Theorems 2 and 3 that , , and will asymptotically converge to zero simultaneously, which relaxes the finite-time requirement for the sliding surface in the traditional design.
Inspired by the Lyapunov-based control design methods, a controller with the capability of disturbance rejection and strong robustness is designed as follows: where , .

Theorem 2. With the proposed controller in (27), if the following condition is satisfied: with Then the closed-loop system is Lyapunov stable in the sense that

Proof. Based on (23), a candidate Lyapunov function can be chosen as [37]
Then
Based on (32), let where , ; then
Let
Hence where . Consider If , , and are designed reasonably to ensure , then is a positive definite matrix. Consequently,
According to , we know that is a nonincreasing function when , so .
Since Based on (21), (26), and (32), we know that , , and are bounded when . Since , we know that . Assuming that , it is known from that . Furthermore, based on (39), we know that is uniformly continuous because .
In addition, we have According to (40), we know that . Hence, we know that based on Barbalat’s Lemma [38]. Moreover, we know from that ; thus we have . Consequently, we have , , .

Furthermore, if the parametric uncertainties in ET are considered, an adaptive controller is designed as follows: where is the estimation of , and the parameter updating law is designed as

Theorem 3. With the proposed adaptive controller in (41) and the parameter estimation law in (42), if , with then the closed-loop system is stable in the sense that

Proof. Firstly, we assume that the parametric uncertainties and external disturbance change slowly; then . To design the controller with adaptive capability of parametric uncertainties, the candidate Lyapunov function is defined as follows [37]: where , and is the estimation of , . Then Based on (46), we let
Hence, substituting (47) into (46), we have
According to (36), we can rewrite (48) as
If is a positive definite matrix, then . Hence, the proposed adaptive controller is Lyapunov stable.
Similar to the proof of Theorem 2, then we can use Barbalat’s Lemma to obtain that [38]

Based on the above discussion, if the immeasurable variable in (47) is replaced with the estimation value , we can obtain the back-stepping SMC incorporating the proposed ESO as follows:

5. Numerical Experiments

5.1. Simulations

In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller, the simulation of ETC is conducted under the Matlab/Simulink platform based on the dynamic characteristics of ET valve. In addition, we choose . The whole Simulink main program is shown in Figure 3 and the basic parameter configuration of ET is listed in Table 1.

According to the requirement of ETC in engineering applications given in [12], the reference inputs are chosen as the step and sine signals, respectively. Figure 4 depicts the signal tracking results using the step reference signal when the desired throttle opening is 60°. Figure 4 shows that the position of ET is able to track the reference signal without overshoot within 100 ms, while the tracking results with the sine reference signal are shown in Figure 5. From Figures 4 and 5, the results show that the proposed controller can satisfy the ET tracking control requirement in [12] with the step and sine reference signals.

As foregoing discussion, those parameters are designed using Lyapunov techniques. Figure 6 is the step response of ETC with parametric uncertainties when desired throttle opening is 60° and the parameters , , . Figure 6 shows that the settling time of ETC is less than 100 ms. Figure 6 also shows that the steady-state error of ETC tends to zero. Figure 7 is the adaptive estimation value of the total uncertainty . In addition, the results form Figure 6 show that the proposed controller has a better robustness compared with Figure 4.

The discussion mentioned above demonstrates that the proposed controller has strong robustness with respect to parametric uncertainties. That is to say, a stable vehicle speed can be guaranteed since the adaptive controller can quickly adjust the opening angle of ET valve when an external disturbance occurs.

In practical application, the mutation of throttle opening is inevitable, which has important influence on vehicle acceleration/deceleration. Furthermore, traffic congestion will lead to the stop-and-go phenomenon in traffic flow, further resulting in the vehicle speed change. Hence, ET should have good responsiveness capability to track the change.

Therefore, it is significant to conduct analysis on the controller performance under the condition of input signal mutation. Moreover, the nonlinear spring does not allow opening angles below 5° and above 80° [20]; the experiment under the minimum and maximum values of square reference signal is set as 10° and 60°, respectively, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8 shows that the proposed controller can track the small values accurately (the important condition of idle speed control), so does the large values (the essential condition of vehicle acceleration). In addition, the settling time is less than required 100 ms. On the other hand, Figure 8 also shows that the steady-state errors approximate 0, which illustrates that the proposed controller can satisfy the requirement of ETC. Hence, the results from this simulation show that the designed controller also has a good control performance under square wave input signal. It also implies that the vehicle in the platoon can follow the preceding vehicles with safe space headway and safe speed via ETC when the stop-and-go phenomenon emerges.

5.2. Performance Comparison

Compared with the literature [4], this study considers not only the external disturbance, but also the parametric uncertainties and the torque caused by the air flow. Then the adaptive law is designed using the Lyapunov techniques. Finally, the experiment is conducted using simulation and the comparison results are summarized in Table 2. Table 2 shows that the proposed adaptive back-stepping SMC has better control performance than the back-stepping controller in [4] in terms of the settling time, steady-state error, and the overshoot.

5.3. Simulated Experiment

In this section, we incorporate the ET controller with mean value modeling of spark ignition engine under the conditions of pressing the accelerator pedal and easing it off [39]. The schematic block diagram of main simulation is shown in Figure 9. Figure 10 shows the throttle opening angle tracking performance. It can be seen that the proposed controller can track the desired input signal effectively. Figures 11, 12, and 13 show the manifold pressure, engine speed, and throttle airflow, respectively. The results show that the proposed controller can control the engine accurately via ETC.

6. Conclusions

To improve the accuracy of the information for ETC under V2V communications, an ESO based adaptive back-stepping SMC is proposed based on the Lyapunov theory, in the presence of high nonlinearity of ET and immeasurable signals for throttle opening angle change. In addition, with the designed adaptive law, strong robustness to parametric uncertainties and external disturbance can be achieved. Simulation results show that the proposed controller can track the desired reference input signal fast and accurately with strong robustness to uncertainties and disturbances.
