Abstract
This paper presents an innovative path tracking method of model predictive control based on multi-point preview (MPP-MPC) that the original equation of state is augmented by considering a dynamics model of the multiple preview points. The path tracking issue is formulated as an optimal control problem with dynamic disturbance, i.e., the future road curvature. Hence, an ameliorative Kalman filter is adopted to fuse the information about camera and vehicle dynamics to accurately estimate the road curvature. To ensure lateral control performance, dynamic constraints are defined by the estimated road curvature to guarantee comfort and safety. In the control domain of model predictive control (MPC), the model can be approximated as a linear time-invariant model (LTIM) to reduce the computational complexity. The MPC problem can be transformed into a standard quadratic programming (QP) problem with dynamic constraints of guaranteed comfort and safety. Finally, the complex path tracking problem can be solved by the QP problem. Through lane keeping experiments, it is shown that the tracking accuracy and steering smoothness can be significantly improved by the proposed method.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Transactions is threefold (which was approved by the IEEE Periodicals Committee in 1967) and is published on the journal website as follows: Communications: The use of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio, two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, compute control for radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques, mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications, effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment. Transportation Systems: The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location, and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers. Vehicular Electronics: The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience, safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles and controls.
