Abstract:

The trajectory planning and tracking control were investigated in the overtaking process for the autonomous driving vehicles on highway. The overtaking process was modeled and analyzed by digital simulation through longitudinal displacement-time graph (s-t graph). The algorithm planned the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral motion with polynomials. The centralized model predictive controller controlled the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral motion to realize the trajectory tracking of the overtaking process. The results show that compared to the decentralized control method, the centralized control method decreases the vehicle lateral acceleration fluctuation by 19.0%, and decreases the vehicle yaw rate fluctuation by 11.6%. Therefore, the centralized control method has smaller deviations in the lateral motion with smoother and more stable longitudinal accelerations. Thus, it meets the basic safety and stability requirements at highway overtaking.
