Abstract :
In this study, we develop an algorithm for the realtime generation of a trajectory for a control target to realize the autonomous steering control needed to realise a platooning system for heavy trucks. The proposed algorithm consists of a driver model, which considers the risk potential, and a vehicle dynamics model. This algorithm was validated through simulations using a vehicle dynamics model with multiple degrees of freedom. In addition, the feasibility of real-time processing for the control target was determined through field tests in which the proposed algorithm was implemented on the control hardware of an experimental vehicle.
