In order to realize that multiple seismic source vehicles follow in the form of a fleet during the field construction, this paper adopts a pilot driving model to record the state information of the pilot vehicle in real time and send it to subsequent vehicles for automatic followup driving. The autofollowing vehicle is controlled according to the acquired speed and heading angle. This paper firstly proposes a control algorithm that combines PID control and model predictive control (MPC), and designs a controller to determine the execution rules of the control algorithm to ensure that the vehicle Safe distance. Through Carsim/Matlab simulation verification, the control method proposed in this paper is compared with linear quadratic control (LQR). The results show that the control method proposed in this paper can meet the following driving conditions in acceleration, uniform speed, and deceleration in the longitudinal control, and can follow the corners such as 180 degrees and 90 degrees in the lateral control, and maintains good performance with the pilot vehicle. safe distance.
