Adaptive Cascade Control for Vehicle Trajectory Following Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning
摘要
Traditional parameter tuning of cascade controllers heavily depends on practical experiments and expert experience, which can be both time-consuming and complex. This study proposes a feedforward and cascade feedback PID control scheme to address vehicle trajectory-following challenges and develops a Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm for adaptive tuning of controller parameters. A range of scenarios and control strategies are simulated and evaluated through joint simulations in Matlab/Simulink and Carsim. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively adjusts controller coefficients online through learning, reduces calibration time, and enhances trajectory-following performance and adaptability compared to alternative control approaches.
