Control and analysis of the vehicle motion using sliding mode controller and Carsim software

Abstract

In the last decade, intelligent transportation systems are used as a reliable method to improve the safety of road transportation system. Design of control system for path planning of a vehicle is the most important issue in this area. In this paper, a sliding mode controller is proposed for vehicle dynamic model. Also, the behavior of the vehicle during path planning is analyzed via Carsim software. At first, the Pride car is designed on it. Afterward, the reference path and designed controller are implemented. Finally, the result of MATLAB and Carsim simulations are compared. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
