Integrated Braking and Steering Model Predictive Control Approach in Autonomous Vehicles

چکیده
In this paper we present a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for combined braking and steering systems in autonomous vehicles. We start from the result presented in (Borrelli et al. (2005)) and (Falcone et al. (2007a)), where a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for autonomous steering systems has been presented. As in (Borrelli et al. (2005)) and (Falcone et al. (2007a)) we formulate an MPC control problem in order to stabilize a vehicle along a desired path. In the present paper, the control objective is to best follow a given path by controlling the front steering angle and the brakes at the four wheels independently, while fulfilling various physical and design constraints.

Predictive Control of Autonomous Ground Vehicles with Obstacle Avoidance on Slippery Roads
Two frameworks based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) for obstacle avoidance with autonomous vehicles are presented. A given trajectory represents the driver intent. An MPC has to safely avoid obstacles on the road while trying to track the desired trajectory by controlling front steering angle and differential braking. We present two different approaches to this problem. The first approach so...
متن کاملSemi-Autonomous Vehicle Control for Road Departure and Obstacle Avoidance
This paper presents an active safety system for avoiding obstacles and preventing road departures by means of assistance in steering and braking. A Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC) is designed with the goal of using the minimum control intervention to keep the driver safe. The NMPC uses a nonlinear vehicle and driver steering model to predict a collision or a roadway departure. The ...
متن کاملAn Automatic Steering and Tracking System for Autonomous Vehicles based on EPS
The steering control system serves as the foundation of all autonomous vehicle activities, directly supporting trajectory planning and tracking. Prior research assumes ideal characteristics of the control system and leaves the burden of realizing such assumptions to physical implementation. However, expense of high-performance actuators and mechanical difficulty of hardware installation render ...

Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. Generally scaled railway vehicles were developed to reproduce the fundamental dynamic behavior of the full size railway vehicle in laboratory conditions. This paper describes the design of the braking/traction control systems as a part of a 1/5 scaled railway vehicle for...
متن کاملTraffic management for intelligent vehicle highway systems using model-based predictive control
In this paper we present an integrated traffic management and control approach for Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS). These IVHS consist of interacting roadside controllers and intelligent vehicles that are organized in platoons with short intraplatoon distances, and larger distances between platoons. All vehicles are assumed to be fully automated, i.e., throttle, braking, and steering...
