Abstract

The coupling and nonlinearity of vehicle dynamics present considerable challenges to path tracking of autonomous vehicles. In this paper, a necessary condition is derived to decouple the translational motion from yawing motion based on the time-scale separation. Consequently, the translational motion is regulated over an extended control horizon to generate a human-like tracking trajectory. The yawing motion is regulated based on a high-fidelity control model. In addition, model predictive path integral (MPPI) is developed to mitigate the computational burden of nonlinear motion planning through sampling-based optimization. A predictive output regulator is developed to solve the underactuated problem in the 2-DOF lateral dynamics with only 1-DOF of control input. Simulation results show that the proposed method enhances computing efficiency and reduces the lateral jerk by an average of 50% with only one set of parameters.
