"Real-time integrated path tracking control using input dimensionality-" by Guodong Wang, Li Liu et al.
The integrated path tracking control (PTC) of steering and braking is crucial for enhancing the stability of autonomous vehicles under extreme conditions. In the present study, a control input dimensionality-reducing method and an asynchronous sampling method are presented to address the problem of the high computational cost of the steering and braking integrated path tracking controller (PTCer) based on model predictive control (MPC). First, based on tire friction limit and tire force utilization, the control input dimensionality-reducing method is designed and a vehicle model with reduced d...
