Application of an Optimal Preview Control for Simulation of Closed-Loop Automobile Driving

An optimal preview control method is applied to the automobile path following problem. The technique is first used to examine the straight-line regulatory driving task and results compared with similar experimental measurements. The method is further demonstrated by closed-loop-simulation of an automobile driver/vehicle system during transient lane-change maneuvers. The computer simulation results are compared with equivalent vehicle test measurements.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/65010/1/MacAdam 1981 IEEE driver model.pd
