摘要

The existing research on the path following of the autonomous electric vehicle (AEV) mainly focuses on the path planning and the kinematic control. However, the dynamic control with the state observation and the communication delay is usually ignored, so the path following performance of the AEV cannot be ensured. This article studies the observer-based path following control strategy for the AEV with the communication delay via a robust explicit model predictive control approach. Firstly, a projected interval unscented Kalman filter is proposed to observe the vehicle sideslip angle and yaw rate. The observer considers the state constraints during the observation process, and the robustness of the observer is also considered. Secondly, an explicit model predictive control is designed to reduce the computational complexity. Thirdly, considering the efficiency of the information transmission, the influence of the communication delay is considered when designing the observer-based path following control strategy. Finally, the numerical simulation and the hardware-in-the-loop test are conducted to examine the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed strategy.
