A Model-Based Control of Self-Driving Car Trajectory for Lanes Change Maneuver in a Smart City

Abstract

High-quality computer control of autonomous vehicles in various environments is a priority for cyber-physical systems (CPS), Industry 4.0, and the global economy as a whole. The paper discusses the linearized control model of a Self-Driving Car (SDC) with a weight of 1160 kg. For safe maneuvering with obstacle avoidance, we employ an optimal control by Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) using a Simulink/MATLAB environment that is capable to demonstrate the satisfiability of LQR control for this maneuver using a 3D simulation environment under changing urban conditions in a smart city. This controller is easy for engineering implementation.
