Nonlinear Lateral Control of Vision Driven Autonomous Vehicles*
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the results of a lateral control strategy that has been applied to the problem of steering an autonomous vehicle using vision. The lateral control law has been designed for any kind of car-like vehicle presenting the Ackerman kinematic model, accounting for the vehicle velocity as a crucial parameter for adapting the steering control response. This makes the control strategy suitable for either low or high speed vehicles. The stability of the control law has been analytically proved and experimentally tested by autonomously steering Babieca, a Citroen Berlingo prototype vehicle.

متن کاملIntelligent identification of vehicle’s dynamics based on local model network
This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Vision Based Tracking System for Coordinated Control of Marine Vehicles
A nonlinear vision based tracking system is developed to provide estimates of the position and velocity of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) relative to an Autonomous Surface Craft (ASC). Nonlinear estimator design builds on the theory of linear parametrically varying (LPV) systems. The theoretical framework adopted provides a powerful tool for estimator regional stability and performance ...
