Research of Required Vehicle System Parameters and Sensor Systems for Autonomous Vehicle Control

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to implement autonomous vehicle control functions on a standard vehicle. At first we started with the investigation of the steering, which is a crucial area of the control of autonomous vehicles. As a part of the program, vehicle dynamical measurements were carried out on a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle equipped with a sensor system, furthermore we design a high-level trajectory-tracking controller.
