Abstract

We propose an improved DNN modeling method based on two optimization algorithms, namely the linear decreasing weight particle swarm optimization (LDWPSO) algorithm and invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm, for predicting vehicle's longitudinal-lateral responses. The proposed improved method can restrain the solutions of weight matrices and bias matrices from falling into a local optimum while training the DNN model. First, dynamic simulations for a vehicle are performed based on an efficient semirecursive multibody model for real-time data acquisition. Next, the vehicle data are processed and used to train and test the improved DNN model. The vehicle responses, which are obtained from the LDWPSO-DNN and IWO-DNN models, are compared with the DNN and multibody results. The comparative results show that the LDWPSO-DNN and IWO-DNN models predict accurate longitudinal-lateral responses in real-time without falling into a local optimum. The improved DNN model based on optimization algorithms can be employed for real-time simulation and preview control in intelligent vehicles.
