Abstract
For unmanned ground vehicles, the longitudinal motion control based on desired acceleration, provided by the upper planning module, has static errors. And the commonly used Proportion-Integration (PI) controller tracks the desired speed directly, prone to overshoot and oscillation. In order to overcome these problems, a method based on acceleration replanning is proposed in this paper, considering the dynamic, steady-state and real-time requirements. Simplified nonlinear longitudinal dynamics models are established. Then, 4 parts of the controller are designed based on the models: switching logic based on coast-down; acceleration replanning module by means of backstepping and feedback linearization; throttle adaptive controller and brake controller. Errors of velocity and acceleration can converge to zero quickly meanwhile without overshoot and oscillation, theoretically. Finally, the MATLAB/ Simulink TruckSim co-simulation shows that the designed controller performs better than the PI controller, with speed’s average error reducing by 52%. Besides, the designed controller controls the pedals more smoothly, for it makes full use of the powertrain.
