All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This dissertation researches the task and path management of an autonomous vehicle with Ackerman-type steering.
The task management problem was approached as a path training operation in which a human operator drives the desired path through an environment. A training trajectory is converted into a series of path segments that are driveable by the autonomous vehicle by first fitting a general path to the dataset. Next, transition segments are added to the general path to match the vehicle velocity and steering angle rate limit.
The path management problem has been approached by first deriving a kine- matic model of the …
