Fuel-efficient switching control for platooning systems with deep reinforcement learning

Résumé

The wide appeal of fuel-efficient transport solutions is constantly increasing due to the major impact of the transportation industry on the environment. Platooning systems represent a relatively simple approach in terms of deployment toward fuel-efficient solutions. This paper addresses the reduction of the fuel consumption attainable by dynamically switching between two control policies: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), in platooning systems. The switching rule is dictated by Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) technique to overcome unpredictable platoon disturbances and to learn appropriate transient shift times while maximizing fuel efficiency. However, due to safety and convergence issues of DRL, our algorithm establishes transition times and minimum periods of operation of ACC and CACC controllers instead of directly controlling vehicles. Numerical experiments show that the DRL agent outperforms both static ACC and CACC versions and the threshold logic control in terms of fuel efficiency while also being robust to perturbations and satisfying safety requirements.
