Combined Speed and Steering Control in High-Speed Autonomous Ground Vehicles for Obstacle Avoidance Using Model Predictive Control

TL;DR: Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of safely exploiting the dynamic limits of the vehicle while navigating the vehicle through sensed obstacles of different sizes and numbers and can significantly improve performance by allowing navigation of obstacle fields that would otherwise not be cleared with steering control alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study on model fidelity for model predictive control-based obstacle avoidance in high-speed autonomous ground vehicles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the level of model fidelity needed in order for a model predictive control (MPC)-based obstacle avoidance algorithm to be able to safely and quickly avoid obstacles.
Journal ArticleDOI

A high-fidelity approach for vehicle mobility simulation: Nonlinear finite element tires operating on granular material☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on physics-based methodologies for wheeled vehicle mobility that factor in both tire flexibility and terrain deformation within a fully three-dimensional multibody system approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

A sequential calibration and validation framework for model uncertainty quantification and reduction

TL;DR: A sequential model calibration and validation (SeCAV) framework is proposed to improve the efficacy of both model parameter calibration and bias correction for the purpose of uncertainty quantification and reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nonlinear model predictive control formulation for obstacle avoidance in high-speed autonomous ground vehicles in unstructured environments

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) formulation for obstacle avoidance in high-speed, large-size autono-mous ground vehicles (AGVs) with high center of gravity (CoG) that operate in unstructured environments, such as military vehicles, is presented.
