Automatic route tracking of smartcar based on fuzzy control

The principle of fuzzy control and its application in automatic route tracking of smartcar are presented in the paper. The fuzzy controller is established to control the steering servo motor of the smartcar. Simulation of the designed controller based on MATLAB fuzzy logical toolbox is proposed. And the fuzzy controller is realized using freescale fuzzy inference machine. It is successfully applied in the automatic route tracking. The hardware design of the smartcar introduced. Then, the process of establishing the fuzzy controller is described in detail, including the choice of fuzzy input and output variables, linguistic values, domain, input and output membership functions, rule base, fuzzification, rule inference, defuzzification. The validity of the designed controller is verified by MATLAB simulation and actual operating results.
