Optimal Coordination of ADAS and Chassis Systems with Different Time-Delays

Abstract

Many Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and chassis systems can be found within the same passenger car. Most of these systems are controlled separately using standalone controllers. Several studies show the benefits of coordinating several systems especially in simultaneous operations. However, most of the studies tend to ignore the time-delays that exist in the control loop. This time-delays can destabilize the vehicle in severe situations. This paper provides a solution to face time-delays in the context of integrated ADAS and chassis systems. Results show the benefits of the control logic proposed in terms of stability and performance. This brings one step closer towards standardization of global vehicle motion control.
