Safety-Aware Longitudinal And Lateral Control Of Autonomous Vehicles, Randy Guadalupe Chapa
Theses and Dissertations
Safety is undoubtedly the most critical design requirement regarding autonomous vehicle controllers. This research considers an autonomous vehicle to keep a desired distance from the leader vehicle, as well as stay centered within the lane. To achieve this, the lateral control problem and the combined longitudinal and lateral control problem were studied. Adaptive control laws were proposed with the aid of the backstepping technique and the barrier function technique. Simulation was done to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control laws.
