Advanced deceleration control considering driving resistance by predicting the position of pedestrians

Abstract

This study aims to realize an automated deceleration system to avoid the collision of a vehicle with a pedestrian. The proposed system can predict a pedestrian’s future position from the current position, and detect the collision probability. Furthermore, the controller employing model predictive control, which can compensate the driving resistance and the modeling error is also proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a simulation and experiment.
