Robust Lateral Control of Heavy Duty Vehicles

In this report, achievements under MOU385, robust lateral control of heavy vehicles for automated highway systems are presented. The purpose of this project are: to design new controllers or redesign existing controllers for lateral control of heavy vehicles to improve performance; to evaluate designed controllers by experiments and to study autonomous vehicle following control. Toward this goal, we have obtained three main results during year 2000-2001, which are presented in this report.
