Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous Vehicle: A Differential Flatness Approach With Disturbance-Observer-Based Control

Xin Wang et al.

Summary: In this article, a control scheme based on flatness disturbance-observer is developed to address the trajectory tracking control problem for autonomous vehicles considering nonlinearity and coupling characteristics. The proposed method transforms the complex kinodynamic vehicle model into three fully-actuated subsystems for convenient controller design. A disturbance-observer-based control strategy is designed to compensate for disturbances caused by modeling and transformation, and trajectory tracking is achieved in longitudinal, lateral, and yaw motions simultaneously. The proposed control method is validated through CarSim simulation tests, showing improved trajectory tracking performance in various maneuvers.

Motion Planning for Autonomous Driving: The State of the Art and Future Perspectives

Siyu Teng et al.

Summary: Intelligent vehicles (IVs) have received global attention for their increased convenience, safety advantages, and potential commercial value. Despite the prediction of commercial deployment by 2025, the implementation of IVs remains limited to small-scale validation, requiring precise tracking controllers and motion planners. This article reviews the state-of-the-art motion planning methods for IVs, including pipeline planning and end-to-end planning methods. It discusses the selection, expansion, and optimization operations in pipeline methods, as well as the training approaches and validation scenarios for driving tasks in end-to-end methods. Experimental platforms are reviewed to assist readers in choosing suitable training and validation strategies. A side-by-side comparison of the methods is provided to highlight their strengths and limitations, aiding system-level design choices. Current challenges and future perspectives are also discussed in this survey.
