Abstract:
This paper focuses on the design of vehicle trajectories and their control systems. A method based on quintic polynomials is utilized to develop trajectories for intelligent vehicles, ensuring the smooth continuity of the trajectory and related state curves under varying conditions. The construction of lateral and longitudinal controllers is discussed, which includes a tracking error model derived from the two-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of a two-wheeled vehicle and the application of the Frenet coordinate system transformation. The vehicle tracking performance is regulated by these controllers. Experimental verification on a small intelligent vehicle platform operating on the Ackermann steering principle was conducted. The results confirm the tracking performance of the controllers under different conditions and validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the overall framework of the study.
