Abstract :
Abstract. Automatic steering control is a vital component of highway automation, currently investigated worldwide in several Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) programs. The promise of Intelligent Transportation System lies in the possibility of increasing the capacity of existing highways by safer and more efficient use of available space. This system will include completely “hands-off” driving in which vehicles are fully automatically controlled once they enter the system. In order to achieve the above objective, the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and vision based concept to an automatic steering control system is used to cause the vehicle to track the reference under various conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed control system achieved its objective even though it is less robust in maintaining its performance under various conditions.
