Autonomous Vehicle Waypoint Navigation Using Hyper-Clothoids

Kotha, Bhavi Bharat 20 January 2022 (has links)
This research study presents two control solutions, PID and the novel hyper-clothoid control strategy, to autonomously navigate a car. These waypoint navigation solutions smoothly connect the given waypoints with C1 continuity using Hermite cubic splines which is used as a reference path for the controller to track. The PID controller uses lateral and heading error to generate a steering profile for the vehicle to track the constructed reference path. A novel real time solution is presented as the second control strategy which involves constructing clothoids to generate a steering profile. The resultant car trajectory preserves curvature and curvature rate continuity. A simulation test bench was developed in MATLAB and Simulink. Six benchmark waypoint datasets have been used for regression testing and validating the algorithms. Both the proposed control strategies have been implemented on a 2017 GM Chevy Bolt EV. A real time operating system (QNX) has been used and was time-synced with the localization suite in the test vehicle. Closed loop results with accuracies up to 50 cm of lateral error have been achieved using the test vehicle. / Doctor of Philosophy / The research into self-driving cars has been one of the most sought out areas these past couple of decades. There are many components into building a self-driving car - Sensing, Perception, Localization, Navigation. Lot of strategies have been developed over the years with waypoint navigation being the most widely used for navigation an autonomous vehicle. Waypoint Navigation utilizes GPS data to move the car from one point to the other. The traditional process of this strategy involves two parts - curve fitting between waypoints and using a control scheme to track the path with the car. Numerous methods have been developed to fit a curve in between two points. Most of these methods use a variant of 3rd degree or higher order polynomials . Also different control strategies have been developed to track the generated path. Model predictive control strategies are among the popular control architectures used for this purpose. This work proposes a novel method to track a path using clothoids. The proposed algorithm has a novel approach of integrating the path construction and control strategy. The algorithm also has a low computational requirement making it highly suitable for implementation in real-time.

Controle longitudinal e lateral para veículos terrestres de categoria pesada / Longitudinal and lateral control for heavy category ground vehicles

Agostinho, Solander Patrício Lopes 25 September 2015 (has links)
Este projeto apresenta o desenvolvimento de um controle longitudinal e lateral para um veículo terrestre de categoria pesada, usando o conceito de geração de curvas de Clothoids. O controle é em malha fechada, com realimentação de velocidade e posição global (X,Y) do veículo no plano bi-dimensional. Dentro de uma arquitetura de controle autônomo para um veículo, o controle longitudinal ajusta a velocidade de cruzeiro em função da trajetória e o lateral é responsável por regular a direção do volante e a sua correspondência para com os pneus, que por sua vez direcionam o veículo dentro da trajetória dada. Para este controle, para o modelo do veículo foi apenas considerado a estrutura do cavalo mecânico (conjunto monolítico formado pela cabine, motor e rodas de tração do caminhão), desprezando qualquer carga traseira engatado nele. Primeiramente será apresentada uma breve introdução abordando a história e projetos atuas de veículos autônomos, em seguida é feito uma revisão dos conceitos básicos usados no projeto. No capitulo seguinte é abordado o modelo matemático do veículo (cinemática e dinâmica) e logo em seguida teremos a secção que aborda sobre a estrutura de controle proposta. A seguir será apresentado a seção de discussão sobre a implementação e resultados práticos. Finalmente é apresentado a conclusão e uma breve descrição sobre trabalhos futuros. / This project presents the development of a longitudinal and lateral control for a Heavy Category Ground Vehicles, using the concept of generation of curves Clothoids. This control is closed loop with feedback speed and position (X,Y) ofvehicle in two-dimensional plane. Within an autonomous control architecture for a vehicle, the longitudinal control adjusts cruising speed on the path and the lateral control is responsible for regulating direction of steering wheel and its correspondence to the tires, which in turn drive the vehicle within the given path. For this control, the vehicle model we are only considering the horse (monolithic assembly formed by the cab, engine and truck drive wheels), disregarding any rear cargo engaged in it. First a brief introduction will be presented addressing the history and projects of autonomous vehicles, then it is made a review of the basic concepts used in the project.

Piecewise linear continuous-curvature path planning for autonomous vehicles / Planejamento de trajetória com curvatura contínua e linear por partes para veículos autônomos

Silva, Júnior Anderson Rodrigues da 26 January 2018 (has links)
Autonomous vehicles have increasingly become an attractive field due its promising capabilities of improvements regarding safety, comfort, traffic flow etc. A required attribute for those vehicles is the ability of autonomously compute its path towards a destination point. The path must be planned considering the constructive aspects of the vehicle in order to guarantee the maneuver feasibility. This work consists on computing a feasible path for autonomous vehicles with non-holonomic constraints. Piecewise linear continuouscurvature paths constituted of clothoids, circular arcs, and straight lines are used for this purpose, providing passenger\'s comfort. The road network is modeled from GPS (Global Positioning System) vehicle trajectories by defining lanes, roundabouts and intersections. GPS points are used later to parameterize lanes using clothoids and to extract roundabout centers and radii. This approach provides a sparse road network model since GPS points are replaced by parameterized curves. The information about connections between roads coming from the model is used by a global path planner, which computes a minimal length route from the vehicle current position to the destination point. After that, path planners compute intersection and roundabout paths depending on the nature of connections between roads. Also, lanes changes are performed to obey traffic rules. These three path planners that connects adjacent roads use clothoids, circular arc, and straight lines as interpolating curves whose curvature is constrained to that the vehicle can perform: the intersection path planner uses only a minimal amount of steering to perform the maneuver, increasing the comfort level; the roundabout path planner takes the roundabout center and radius as well as parameters that defines the entrance and exit maneuvers to compute the path; the lane change path planner connects lanes belonging to the same road with a prescribed longitudinal traveled distance depending on whether this maneuver is required. In the end, an global continuous-curvature path is generated. As the result of this work, a real urban scenario is modeled and the proposed approaches are validated. / Veículos autônomos têm cada vez mais se tornado um campo atraente de pesquisa devido às suas capacidades promissoras de melhorias em segurança, conforto, fluxo de tráfego, etc. Um atributo necessário para esses veículos é a capacidade de calcular, de forma autônoma, o seu caminho para um ponto de destino. O percurso deve ser planejado considerando os aspectos construtivos do veículo para que a viabilidade das manobras a serem executadas seja garantida. Este trabalho consiste no planejamento de trajetória para veículos autônomos com restrições não-holonômicas. Utilizam-se, para esse efeito, trajetórias cuja curvatura seja contínua e linear por partes, constituídas por clotóides, arcos de circunferência e retas, de forma a proporcionar conforto aos passageiros. A topologia de vias é modelada a partir de trajetórias definidas por pontos de GPS (Sistema de Posicionamento Global), definindo pistas, rotatórias e cruzamentos. Pontos de GPS são usados posteriormente para parametrizar as pistas usando clotóides a para extrair centros e raios das rotatórias. Essa abordagem proporciona um modelo esparso de topologia de vias uma vez que pontos de GPS são substituídos por curvas parametrizadas. A informação a cerca das conexões entre vias advinda do modelo é usada por um planejador de caminho global, o qual calcula a rota mais curta da posição atual do veículo até seu ponto de destino. Após essa etapa, planejadores calculam caminhos em cruzamentos e rotatórias dependendo do tipo de conexão entre as vias. Também, trocas de faixa devem ser executadas para obedecer regras de trânsito. Esses três planejadores de caminho usam clotóides, arcos de circunferência e retas como curvas interpoladoras, cuja curvatura é restrita a valores que o veículo é capaz de executar: o planejador de caminho em cruzamentos usa apenas um mínimo de velocidade de rotação do volante do veículo para executar a manobra, melhorando o nível de conforto; o planejador de caminho em rotatórias requer as coordenadas do centro e o raio da rotatória, bem como parâmetros que definem as manobras na entrada e na saída da rotatória para calcular o caminho; o planejador de caminho para troca de faixa conecta pistas pertencentes à mesma via com uma distância longitudinal do caminho previamente determinada. Ao final, um caminho com curvatura globalmente contínua é gerado. Como resultado deste trabalho, um cenário urbano real é modelado e os métodos propostos são validados.

Predictive control for autonomous driving : With experimental evaluation on a heavy-duty construction truck

Lima, Pedro January 2016 (has links)
Autonomous vehicles is a rapidly expanding field, and promise to play an important role in society. In more isolated environments, vehicle automation can bring significant efficiency and production benefits and it eliminates repetitive jobs that can lead to inattention and accidents. The thesis addresses the problem of lateral and longitudinal dynamics control of autonomous ground vehicles with the purpose of accurate and smooth path following. Clothoids are used in the design of optimal predictive controllers aimed at minimizing the lateral forces and jerks in the vehicle. First, a clothoid-based path sparsification algorithm is proposed to efficiently describe the reference path. This approach relies on a sparseness regularization technique such that a minimal number of clothoids is used to describe the reference path. Second, a clothoid-based model predictive controller (MPCC) is proposed. This controller aims at producing a smooth driving by taking advantage of the clothoid properties.  Third, we formulate the problem as an economic model predictive controller (EMPC). In EMPC the objective function contains an economic cost (here represented by comfort or smoothness), which is described by the second and first derivatives of the curvature.  Fourth, the generation of feasible speed profiles, and the longitudinal vehicle control for following these, is studied. The speed profile generation is formulated as an optimization problem with two contradictory objectives: to drive as fast as possible while accelerating as little as possible. The longitudinal controller is formulated in a similar way, but in a receding horizon fashion. The experimental evaluation with the EMPC demonstrates its good performance, since the deviation from the path never exceeds 30 cm and in average is 6 cm. In simulation, the EMPC and the MPCC are compared with a pure-pursuit controller (PPC) and a standard MPC. The EMPC clearly outperforms the PPC in terms of path accuracy and the standard MPC in terms of driving smoothness. / <p>QC 20160503</p> / iQMatic

Dynamic Modelling and Optimal Control of Autonomous Heavy-duty Vehicles

Chari, Kartik Seshadri January 2020 (has links)
Autonomous vehicles have gained much importance over the last decade owing to their promising capabilities like improvement in overall traffic flow, reduction in pollution and elimination of human errors. However, when it comes to long-distance transportation or working in complex isolated environments like mines, various factors such as safety, fuel efficiency, transportation cost, robustness, and accuracy become very critical. This thesis, developed at the Connected and Autonomous Systems department of Scania AB in association with KTH, focuses on addressing the issues related to fuel efficiency, robustness and accuracy of an autonomous heavy-duty truck used for mining applications. First, in order to improve the state prediction capabilities of the simulation model, a comparative analysis of two dynamic bicycle models was performed. The first model used the empirical PAC2002 Magic Formula (MF) tyre model to generate the tyre forces, and the latter used a piece-wise Linear approximation of the former. On top of that, in order to account for the nonlinearities and time delays in the lateral direction, the steering dynamic equations were empirically derived and cascaded to the vehicle model. The fidelity of these models was tested against real experimental logs, and the best vehicle model was selected by striking a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. The Dynamic bicycle model with piece-wise Linear approximation of tyre forces proved to tick-all-the-boxes by providing accurate state predictions within the acceptable error range and handling lateral accelerations up to 4 m/s2. Also, this model proved to be six times more computationally efficient than the industry-standard PAC2002 tyre model. Furthermore, in order to ensure smooth and accurate driving, several Model Predictive Control (MPC) formulations were tested on clothoid-based Single Lane Change (SLC), Double Lane Change (DLC) and Truncated Slalom trajectories with added disturbances in the initial position, heading and velocities. A linear time-varying Spatial error MPC is proposed, which provides a link between spatial-domain and time-domain analysis. This proposed controller proved to be a perfect balance between fuel efficiency which was achieved by minimising braking and acceleration sequences and offset-free tracking along with ensuring that the truck reached its destination within the stipulated time irrespective of the added disturbances. Lastly, a comparative analysis between various Prediction-Simulation model pairs was made, and the best pair was selected in terms of its robustness to parameter changes, simplicity, computational efficiency and accuracy. / Under det senaste årtiondet har utveckling av autonoma fordon blivit allt viktigare på grund av de stora möjligheterna till förbättringar av trafikflöden, minskade utsläpp av föroreningar och eliminering av mänskliga fel. När det gäller långdistanstransporter eller komplexa isolerade miljöer så som gruvor blir faktorer som bränsleeffektivitet, transportkostnad, robusthet och noggrannhet mycket viktiga. Detta examensarbete utvecklat vid avdelningen Connected and Autonomous Systems på Scania i samarbete med KTH fokuserar på frågor gällande bränsleeffektivitet, robusthet och exakthet hos en autonom tung lastbil i gruvmiljö. För att förbättra simuleringsmodellens tillståndsprediktioner, genomfördes en jämförande analys av två dynamiska fordonsmodeller. Den första modellen använde den empiriska däckmodellen PAC2002 Magic Formula (MF) för att approximera däckkrafterna, och den andra använde en stegvis linjär approximation av samma däckmodell. För att ta hänsyn till ickelinjäriteter och laterala tidsfördröjningar inkluderades empiriskt identifierade styrdynamiksekvationer i fordonsmodellen. Modellerna verifierades mot verkliga mätdata från fordon. Den bästa fordonsmodellen valdes genom att hitta en balans mellan noggrannhet och beräkningseffektivitet. Den Dynamiska fordonsmodellen med stegvis linjär approximation av däckkrafter visade goda resultat genom att ge noggranna tillståndsprediktioner inom det acceptabla felområdet och hantera sidoacceleration upp till 4 m/s2 . Den här modellen visade sig också vara sex gånger effektivare än PAC2002-däckmodellen. v För att säkerställa mjuk och korrekt körning testades flera MPC varianter på klotoidbaserade trajektorier av filbyte SLC, dubbelt filbyte DLC och slalom. Störningar i position, riktining och hastighet lades till startpositionen. En MPC med straff på rumslig avvikelse föreslås, vilket ger en länk mellan rumsdomän och tidsdomän. Den föreslagna regleringen visade sig vara en perfekt balans mellan bränsleeffektivitet, genom att minimering av broms- och accelerationssekvenser, och felminimering samtidigt som lastbilen nådde sin destination inom den föreskrivna tiden oberoende av de extra störningarna. Slutligen gjordes en jämförande analys mellan olika kombinationer av simulerings- och prediktionsmodell och den bästa kombinationen valdes med avseende på dess robusthet mot parameterändringar, enkelhet, beräkningseffektivitet och noggrannhet.

Clothoid-based Planning and Control in Intelligent Vehicles (Autonomous and Manual-Assisted Driving)

Girbés Juan, Vicent 02 June 2016 (has links)
[EN] Nowadays, there are many electronic products that incorporate elements and features coming from the research in the field of mobile robotics. For instance, the well-known vacuum cleaning robot Roomba by iRobot, which belongs to the field of service robotics, one of the most active within the sector. There are also numerous autonomous robotic systems in industrial warehouses and plants. It is the case of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), which are able to drive completely autonomously in very structured environments. Apart from industry and consumer electronics, within the automotive field there are some devices that give intelligence to the vehicle, derived in most cases from advances in mobile robotics. In fact, more and more often vehicles incorporate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as navigation control with automatic speed regulation, lane change and overtaking assistant, automatic parking or collision warning, among other features. However, despite all the advances there are some problems that remain unresolved and can be improved. Collisions and rollovers stand out among the most common accidents of vehicles with manual or autonomous driving. In fact, it is almost impossible to guarantee driving without accidents in unstructured environments where vehicles share the space with other moving agents, such as other vehicles and pedestrians. That is why searching for techniques to improve safety in intelligent vehicles, either autonomous or manual-assisted driving, is still a trending topic within the robotics community. This thesis focuses on the design of tools and techniques for planning and control of intelligent vehicles in order to improve safety and comfort. The dissertation is divided into two parts, the first one on autonomous driving and the second one on manual-assisted driving. The main link between them is the use of clothoids as mathematical formulation for both trajectory generation and collision detection. Among the problems solved the following stand out: obstacle avoidance, rollover avoidance and advanced driver assistance to avoid collisions with pedestrians. / [ES] En la actualidad se comercializan infinidad de productos de electrónica de consumo que incorporan elementos y características procedentes de avances en el sector de la robótica móvil.

También hay numerosos sistemas robóticos autónomos en almacenes y plantas industriales. Es el caso de los vehículos autoguiados (AGVs), capaces de conducir de forma totalmente autónoma en entornos muy estructurados. Además de en la industria y en electrónica de consumo, dentro del campo de la automoción también existen dispositivos que dotan de cierta inteligencia al vehículo, derivados la mayoría de las veces de avances en robótica móvil. De hecho, cada vez con mayor frecuencia los vehículos incorporan sistemas avanzados de asistencia al conductor (ADAS por sus siglas en inglés), tales como control de navegación con regulación automática de velocidad, asistente de cambio de carril y adelantamiento, aparcamiento automático o aviso de colisión, entre otras prestaciones. No obstante, pese a todos los avances siguen existiendo problemas sin resolver y que pueden mejorarse. La colisión y el vuelco destacan entre los accidentes más comunes en vehículos con conducción tanto manual como autónoma. De hecho, la dificultad de conducir en entornos desestructurados compartiendo el espacio con otros agentes móviles, tales como coches o personas, hace casi imposible garantizar la conducción sin accidentes. Es por ello que la búsqueda de técnicas para mejorar la seguridad en vehículos inteligentes, ya sean de conducción autónoma o manual asistida, es un tema que siempre está en auge en la comunidad robótica. La presente tesis se centra en el diseño de herramientas y técnicas de planificación y control de vehículos inteligentes, para la mejora de la seguridad y el confort.
