A Pursuit Strategy for Wheeled-vehicle Formations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inspired by the so-called “bugs” problem from mathematics, we propose a cyclic pursuit strategy for multivehicle formations. A particular version of this pursuit problem is studied for a system of n wheeled vehicles, each subject to a single nonholonomic constraint, towards the achievement of certain trajectories in the plane. A full stability analysis is provided for the special case when n = 2 and it is revealed how the system’s global behaviour can be shaped through appropriate controller gain assignments.

Target Centric Cyclic Pursuit using Bearing Angle Measurements Only
This paper presents a cyclic pursuit based strategy for monitoring a stationary target with multiple autonomous vehicles. The strategy needs only bearing angle information of the target and that of only one of the neighbor vehicle. We have considered simple kinematic model for each vehicle. With the proposed control law, at equilibrium the vehicles get into a rigid polygonal formation which rot...
متن کاملStability of Three-Wheeled Vehicles with and without Control System
In this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. For vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. In accorda...
متن کاملFuzzy Vehicle Dynamic Control for a Three-Wheeled Vehicle Using Tilt Mechanism
Nowadays, the use of small vehicles is spreading among urban areas and one sort of these vehicles are three-wheeled vehicles (TWVs) which can be competitive with four-wheeled urban vehicles (FWVs) in aspects such as smallness, simple manufacturing, and low tire rolling resistance, fuel consumption and so on. The most critical instability associated with TWVs is the roll over. In this paper a ti...
متن کاملNonlinear Modeling and Optimal Output Control of Two Wheeled Balancing Transporter
In this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called Segway PT. This vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. A handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of Segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. Since Segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...
