Adaptive MPC Path Tracking Control for Autonomous Vehicles

This work introduces a Model Predictive Control (MPC) path tracking controller, which is developed to boost robustness, tracking precision, and vehicle stability when navigating high-speed and high-curvature driving scenarios. First, a 3-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) dynamic model of the vehicle is established to serve as...

Speed-Adaptive Horizon Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Vehicle Lateral Path Tracking Under Varying Speeds

This paper addresses the lateral path tracking problem for autonomous vehicles operating over a wide speed range by proposing a speed-adaptive horizon model predictive control (SAH-MPC) strategy. Unlike conventional fixed-horizon MPC, the proposed approach schedules both the prediction horizon Np and the control horizo...
