Physics-Informed Neural Network Modeling of Vehicle Collision Dynamics in Precision Immobilization Technique Maneuvers

摘要

Accurate prediction of vehicle collision dynamics is crucial for advanced safety systems and post-impact control applications, yet existing methods face inherent trade-offs among computational efficiency, prediction accuracy, and data requirements. This paper proposes a dual Physics-Informed Neural Network framework addressing these challenges through two complementary networks. The first network integrates Gaussian Mixture Models with PINN architecture to learn impact force distributions from finite element analysis data while enforcing momentum conservation and energy consistency constraints. The second network employs an adaptive PINN with dynamic constraint weighting to predict post-collision vehicle dynamics, featuring an adaptive physics guard layer that prevents unrealistic predictions whil e preserving data-driven learning capabilities. The framework incorporates uncertainty quantification through time-varying parameters and enables rapid adaptation via fine-tuning strategies. Validation demonstrates significant improvements: the impact force model achieves relative errors below 15.0% for force prediction on finite element analysis (FEA) datasets, while the vehicle dynamics model reduces average trajectory prediction error by 63.6% compared to traditional four-degree-of-freedom models in scaled vehicle experiments. The integrated system maintains millisecond-level computational efficiency suitable for real-time applications while providing probabilistic confidence bounds essential for safety-critical control. Comprehensive validation through FEA simulation, dynamic modeling, and scaled vehicle experiments confirms the framework's effectiveness for Precision Immobilization Technique scenarios and general collision dynamics prediction.
