Application of EVCA algorithm in dynamic optimisation of the articulated vehicle motion for control of stability: International conference on control, automation and systems (ICCAS 2016)

In many cases, solving optimisation problems, in particular a dynamic optimisation problem, is time-consuming. This is due to the long time of calculation of the objective function value. For example, during optimisation of the articulated vehicle it is necessary to integrate dynamic equations of motion in the whole time interval. The paper presents an application of own algorithm (EVCA) for reduction optimisation calculations time. This algorithm can be applied to any optimisation methods both stochastic and classical in order to speed up the optimization process. In this paper, articulated vehicle control task has been formulated as dynamic optimisation problem. During this process appropriate braking torques acting on wheels have been determined in order to restore stability of the vehicle. Results obtained from dynamic optimisation using EVCA algorithm have been presented and discussed.
