Comparative evaluation of dynamic and kinematic vehicle models

In this paper, we deal with comparative evaluation of dynamic and kinematic vehicle models for autonomous driving control systems. Comparative lane coefficients estimation performance of each model is evaluated according to the tire slip angle. Each estimation makes use of clothoidal road constraints, respectively. We observe that the kinematic model is robust against unknown vehicle parameters tire-road condition or cornering stiffness for autonomous driving systems under lane keeping situation. The reliability of each model was validated via not only computational simulation results but also experimental results with a test vehicle.
