Force-Centric Perspectives on Autonomous Vehicle Safety-Maneuvers

Lars Nielsen, Division of Vehicular Systems, Linköping University
(postdoc at Caltech 85-86)

Abstract: Real-time avoidance maneuvers for vehicles have been developed using a force-centric perspective, where the founding principles are obtained from studies of optimal maneuvers. The developed optimization framework, the different criteria used, and the obtained solutions give insight into how to control the forces on the vehicle. A highlight in this presentation is the first algorithm not needing a tire-road friction estimate.
