In this paper, an automated intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS) is described, and a four-layer hierarchical control architecture is proposed to decompose this problem into more manageable units.
Abstract
Key features of one automated intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS) are outlined, it is shown how core driver decisions are improved, a basic IVHS control system architecture is proposed, and a design of some control subsystems is offered. Some experimental work is summarized. A system that promises a threefold increase in capacity is outlined, and a four-layer hierarchical control architecture that decomposes this problem into more manageable units is proposed. >

Spatial Model Predictive Control for Smooth and Accurate Steering of an Autonomous Truck

TL;DR: An algorithm for lateral control of a vehicle—a smooth and accurate model predictive controller (MPC) based on the minimization of the first- and second-order spatial derivatives of the curvature, which clearly outperforms an industrial pure-pursuit controller and a standard MPC in terms of driving smoothness.

Preview Control for Vehicle Lateral Guidance in Highway Automation

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous time deterministic optimal preview control algorithm is applied to the lateral guidance of a vehicle for an automated highway, where the front wheel steering angle of the vehicle is controlled so that the vehicle follows the center for a lane with small tracking error and maintains good ride quality simultaneously.
