Robust Path Tracking Control of Self-driving Vehicles with Measurement Deficiencies and Parametric Uncertainty
摘要
This study presents a novel approach for path tracking of Self-driving Vehicles (SDVs) with measurement deficiencies in sensor outputs and uncertainties in tyre cornering stiffness. The unavailability and inaccuracy of measured signals in SDVs are unavoidable due to practical factors such as sensor failure and reception blockage. Furthermore, the probability of deficiencies in measured signals may vary in different sensors. This study models the sensors’ measurement deficiency using the fading measurement phenomenon represented by independent random variables. Norm-bounded uncertainties are also considered to model uncertain time-varying tyres’ cornering stiffness. A path tracker is designed using the Lyapunov stability theorem to ensure vehicle stability.
