Intelligent Control of Road Vehicles for Automated Driving: Path Architecture for Automated Highway Systems and Lateral Guidance

Modeling and Analysis of Vehicles Flow on the Road

Abstract: This study is carried out to describe the behaviour of vehicles flow on the road, in the presence of blocking effects. A non-linear three dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is used to describe vehicles flow on the road. The study classify total vehicles population on the road into three compartments as Free – Slow – Released vehicles. The formulated model is well-po...

Automated Road Lane Detection for Intelligent Vehicles

Automated road lane detection is the crucial part of vision-based driver assistance system of intelligent vehicles. This driver assistance system reduces the road accidents, enhances safety and improves the traffic conditions. In this paper, we present an algorithm for detecting marks of road lane and road boundary with a view to the smart navigation of intelligent vehicles. Initially, it conve...

Lateral Control of Heavy Duty Vehicles for Automated Highway Systems

Three results pertaining to lateral control of heavy duty vehicles on Automated Highway System are presented. First, a time domain, frequency domain and pole/zero analysis of the linearized model for lateral control of tractor-trailer vehicles is presented. The steering response subject to variation of speed, road adhesion and look-ahead distance is studied. Based on the analysis, a simple base...

The Control and Stability Analysis of Two–wheeled Road Vehicles

The multibody dynamics analysis software, AUTOSIM, is used to develop automated linear and nonlinear models for the hand derived motorcycle models presented in (Sharp, 1971, 1994b). A more comprehensive model, based on previous work (Sharp and Limebeer, 2001), is also derived and extended. One version of the code uses AUTOSIM to produce a FORTRAN or C program which solves the nonlinear equation...
