In this report, linear quadratic regulator is used to design adaptive cruise control system. In the regulator, Q and R parameters vary with time according to current traffic situations. Phase-plant method is used to give constraints on Q and R parameters, and coefficient descent method is applied to solve for the constrained optimization problem. Meanwhile, data based controller design method is also introduced in this paper, where the time vary vehicle dynamic parameters are no longer

According to current traffic states, Q-function is generalized and minimized by directly using least error method, whose stability is ensured by nonlinear regression theory. Simulation is conducted and results show the advantages of using time varying parameter linear quadratic regulator over other controller discussed in this paper. Vehicle tests are also conducted to ensure the feasibility and efficiency of the controller.
