Fuzzy Logic Control For Lane Change Maneuvers In Lateral Vehicle Guidance

This paper investigates the feasibility of a fuzzy logic control (FLC) algorithm for lateral control in a lane change maneuver in an automated highway system (AHS). The lane change maneuver takes the vehicle from lane following control in one lane to lane following control in an adjacent lane. A lateral accelerometer is the only sensor used for feedback during the maneuver. The rules of the FLC are developed based on human driving experience.
