Intelligent Vehicle Lateral Control Method Based on Feedforward + Predictive LQR Algorithm
Aiming at the problems of control stability of the intelligent vehicle lateral control method, single test conditions, etc., a lateral control method with feedforward + predictive LQR is proposed, which can better adapt to the problem of intelligent vehicle lateral tracking control under complex working conditions. Firstly, the vehicle dynamics tracking error model is built by using the two degree of freedom vehicle dynamics model, then the feedforward controller, predictive controller and LQR controller are designed separately based on the path tracking error model, and the lateral control system is built. Secondly, based on the YOLO-v3 algorithm, the environment perception system under the urban roads is established, and the road information is collected, the path equation is fitted and sent to the control system. Finally, the joint simulation is carried out based on CarSim software and a Matlab/Simulink control model, and tested combined with hardware in the loop test platform. The results of simulation and hardware-in-loop test show that the transverse controller with feedforward + predictive LQR can effectively improve the accuracy of distance error control and course error control compared with the transverse controller with feedforward + LQR control, LQR controller and MPC controller on the premise that the vehicle can track the path in real time.
