Abstract: This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control method that integrates real-time learning (JITL) and heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) to address the issues of actuator failures and model uncertainties in intelligent transportation vehicles in dynamic environments. Construct an online fault diagnosis module using a multi-source data-driven framework, and utilise JITL to dynamically update local models to quickly capture system anomalies; design an adaptive controller based on the dual layer optimisation structure of HDP, and compensate for the impact of faults through an evaluation execution network collaborative optimisation strategy. Experimental verification based on the publicly available traffic dataset NGSIM shows that in typical fault scenarios such as sensor failure and actuator offset, the proposed method can significantly improve tracking accuracy and response speed compared to traditional robust control methods, and effectively suppress oscillations caused by interference, verifying the adaptability and reliability of the algorithm in dynamic environments.

Keywords: intelligent transportation; fault-tolerant control; instant learning; heuristic dynamic programming; HDP.
