description With the rapid increase in vehicle ownership and increasingly stringent emission regulations, addressing the energy consumption of and emissions from commercial vehicles have become critical challenges. This study introduces a multi-objective cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) strategy, designed for intelligent connected commercial vehicle platoons, operating in event-triggered conditions. A hierarchical control framework is utilized: the upper layer handles reference speed planning based on vehicle dynamics and constraints, while the lower layer uses distributed model predictive control (DMPC) to manage vehicle following. DMPC is chosen for its ability to manage distributed platoons by enabling vehicles to make local decisions, while maintaining system-wide coordination. Additionally, adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) is employed during the optimization process to solve the optimal problem efficiently. APSO is employed for its computational efficiency and adaptability, ensuring quick convergence to optimal solutions with reduced overheads. An event-triggering mechanism is integrated to further reduce the computational demands. The simulation results show that the proposed approach reduces fuel consumption by 8.05% and NO<sub>x</sub> emissions by 10.15%, while ensuring stable platoon operation during dynamic driving conditions. The effectiveness of the control strategy is validated through extensive simulations, highlighting superior performance compared to conventional methods.
