Abstract:

The linearized time-invariant model of an autonomous vehicle (AV) with parametric uncertainity was condsidered. The problem of setting AV on the desired trajectory (guideline) and stabilizing it's motion along it is solved. This goal is achieved by means of combined control law -- programmatical terminal control with minimal energy for major initial deviations from the guideline and the modified PID-control for stabilizing the motion with minor initial deviations. To merge these two control law finite state automata was used. Numerical simulation was carried out using Simulink/Stateflow.
