Impact of Control System Model Parameters on the Obstacle Avoidance by an Autonomous Car-Trailer Unit: Research Results

The introduction of autonomous cars will help to improve road traffic safety, and the use a cargo trailer improves energy efficiency transport. One critical (collision) situations has been considered, where immediate counteraction is required in space that only partly defined. This research work was aimed at determining impact trajectory planning method values some parameters control system on feasibility safe avoidance an obstacle suddenly appeared. assumed be motor vehicle moving intersection along collision path relation car-trailer unit (CT unit) travelling high speed. Analysis cooperation between several non-linear models (representing car, trailer, tyre–road interaction, driving controller) carried out.
