Vehicle active safety systems stabilise the vehicle by controlling tyre forces. They work well only when forces commanded are within friction limit. Therefore, knowledge of tyre/road coefficient can improve performance systems. This study presents four methods to estimate based on different excitation conditions: medium lateral excitation, large small longitudinal and excitation. For cases, estimation is lateral/yaw dynamics Brush model, whereas for basis relationship between slip traction...
Decision-making for autonomous driving is challenging, considering the complex interactions among multiple traffic agents (including vehicles (AVs), human-driven vehicles, and pedestrians) computational load needed to evaluate these interactions. This paper develops two general potential game-based frameworks, namely, finite continuous games, decision-making in driving. The frameworks account AVs' types of action spaces, i.e., respectively. developed provide theoretical guarantees existence...
Performing real-time receding horizon motion planning for autonomous vehicles while providing safety guarantees remains difficult. This is because existing methods to accurately predict ego vehicle behavior under a chosen controller use online numerical integration that requires fine time discretization and thereby adversely affects performance. To address this limitation, several recent papers have proposed apply offline reachability analysis conservatively the of vehicle. Reachable sets...
This article proposes a novel decision-making framework for autonomous vehicles (AVs), called predictor–corrector potential game (PCPG), composed of predictor and corrector. To enable human-like reasoning characterize agent interactions, receding-horizon multiplayer is formulated. address the challenges caused by complexity solving requirement real-time operation, (PG)-based developed in PG predictor, where agents' cost functions are heuristically predefined. We acknowledge that behaviors...

A Stackelberg differential game theoretic model predictive controller is proposed for an autonomous highway driving problem. The hierarchical controller's high-level component the two-player lane change game, where each player uses a (MPC) to control his/her own motion. converted into bi-level optimization problem and solved with branch bound algorithm. Additionally, inverse MPC algorithm developed estimate weights of cost function target vehicle. low-level hybrid controls both vehicle's...
This paper presents an optimization algorithm for tuning the interpolation parameters of computer numerical control (CNC) controllers; it operates by considering multiple objective functions, namely, contour errors, machining time (MT), and vibrations. The position commands, vibration signals from 1024 experiments were considered in designed trajectory. experimental data—the maximum error (MCoE), MT, corner (CVib)—were analyzed to compute performance index. A backpropagation neural network...
