This work is concerned with the design of a vehicle following controller (VFC). The goal of
the VFC is to determine appropriate control actions for a highly actuated electric vehicle …

Abstract Model Predictive Control (MPC) is frequently used for the steering controllers of
autonomous vehicles, and simple vehicle dynamics is usually used for the reference model …

An increasing number of production cars are equipped with vehicle automation systems,
which depend on a stable path or trajectory tracking. Nowadays, many cars come with …

In this paper, a novel approach to autonomous steering systems is presented. A model
predictive control (MPC) scheme is designed in order to stabilise a vehicle along a desired …

This paper deals with the longitudinal and lateral control of an automotive vehicle within the
framework of fully automated guidance. The automotive vehicle is a complex system …

The assimilation of path planning and motion control is a crucial capability for autonomous
vehicles. Pure pursuit controllers are a prevalent class of path tracking algorithms for front …

Longitudinal motion controllers based on over-simplified models result in steady-state
errors, oscillations, and overshoots of the velocity, all of which impair the unmanned ground …

The autonomous vehicle following problem has been extensively studied for at least two
decades with the rapid development of intelligent transport systems. In this context, this …

This paper presents a novel adaptive cruise control (ACC) strategy that utilizes a command
governor (CG) to enforce vehicle following constraints. The CG formulation relies on …

This paper presents an energy-efficient velocity control technique for a truck driving behind a
slow moving truck. An observer is designed to estimate the acceleration capability of the …
