Abstract :
A scale-model, experimental apparatus is developed to design and evaluate steering controller designs. The controller is designed using linear quadratic optimal control methods on a standard four-state vehicle model. The apparatus simulates the human driver using a scale-model vehicle, a treadmill, and a vision system.
