Abstract:

This paper discussed the research status of motion control theories and the methods of intelligent vehicles with analyzing the lateral and longitudinal motion control technique of intelligent vehicles to promote the comprehensive driving performance of intelligent vehicles. The present study focused on the independent design of longitudinal and lateral control strategy of intelligent vehicles by the decoupling method, without considering the random uncertainty and time delay of vehicles, and with a single performance goal and utilized not effectively communication technology. Hence, the important research directions of dynamical control for intelligent vehicles in the future will be coordinated multi-objective and multi-system control of intelligent vehicle through the wireless communication and multi-sensor information fusion technology to make intelligent vehicles with optimal performances having a traffic environment on safety, comfort, fuel efficiency and environmental protection.

Key words: intelligent vehicles, lateral control, longitudinal control, coordinated, vehicular networking
