Driver-aid system using path-planning for lateral vehicle control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Navigation Aided Intelligent Cruise Control (N.A.I.C.C.) system acts in the field of the lateral and longitudinal control of a car. This paper only describes the lateral part of this new driver-aid system. Once the vehicle is located on the road, it determines the distance to the next bend and predicts a reference path to negotiate this bend considering the road profile, the vehicle characteristics and the driver’s profile. The use of polar curves for the description of a turn eliminates steering function discontinuities by providing continuous curvature along the path. The computation of the polynomial is based on a fuzzy-logic method which determines the characteristics of the end-points of the polynomial curve. In order to compute realistic paths, real experiments were carried out with the instrumented laboratory test car. r 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Path Planning and Steering Control Concept for a Cooperative Lane Change Maneuver According to the H-Mode Concept
This article presents a concept for a possible implementation of the H-Mode (horse metaphor) concept in a test vehicle where the driver and the automation are simultaneously involved in the control loop of the driving task following the idea of shared control. Consequently, the driving task is executed as a cooperative collaboration between driver and automation. The developed concept is mainly...
متن کاملRoad Departure Avoidance System Based on the Driver Decision Estimator
In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...

Most of drivers have to compensate small directional deviations from the desired driving path when disturbances such as crosswinds, overtakings, road irregularities and unintended driver inputs are imposed. These types of deviations have a tiring effect on driver and traffic’s safety and should be minimised. To increase the understanding the influence of vehicle’s properties in crosswind and o...

In this paper, kinetic and kinematic modeling of a 4 wheel steering vehicle is done and its movement is controlled in an optimal way using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). The results are compared with the same control of two-wheel steering case and the advantages are analyzed. In 4 wheel steering vehicles which are nowadays more applicable the number of controlling actuators are more than the...
