Automatic vehicle path tracking control based on model predictive contouring control

In order to realize the function of tracking and obstacle avoidance of unmanned vehicles, a path tracking control strategy based on model predictive contour control was proposed. Firstly, the 2-DOF single vehicle model and the Pacejka tire model were combined to build the vehicle model, the path planning and tracking problems were combined into a nonlinear optimization problem by following the idea of model prediction, and the linear time-varying model was obtained by linearization.The local approximation of the nonlinear optimization problem was established in the form of convex quadratic programming in each sampling time. Then, in order to maintain the stability of the vehicle when tracking the path, the lateral stability constraint was applied in combination with the vehicle stability envelope. By applying lane boundary constraint, the obstacle avoidance function of the autonomous driving vehicle was realized. Finally, Matlab/Simulink and CarSim were combined to conduct co-simulation. The simulation results show that the designed controller can independently plan a shortest path on a wide road surface, realize the function of tracking and obstacle avoidance, and maintain the stability and safety of the vehicle in the running, which has a good advantage in the race track.The results provide technical reference for vehicle autonomous driving on structured roads and has a certain application value.
