Control of vehicle with power wheeled steering using feedforward dynamics compensation

The design of an efficient vehicle control method for an autonomous vehicle using the power wheeled steering (PWS) method by two driving wheels is described. First, the vehicle dynamics using the PWS method is analysed. Next, an efficient controller for the PWS method is proposed. This controller includes a feedforward compensator which has the inverse dynamics of the vehicle and controls both sides of the wheel angular velocities. Additionally, in order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control method, numerical simulation and experimental results are shown.<
