Research on Intelligent Vehicle Trajectory Planning and Control Based on an Improved Terminal Sliding Mode

Aiming at precisely tracking an intelligent vehicle on a desired trajectory, this paper proposes an intelligent vehicle trajectory planning and control strategy based on an improved terminal sliding mold. Firstly, the traditional RRT algorithm is improved by using the target bias strategy and the separation axis theorem to improve the algorithm search efficiency. Secondly, an improved terminal sliding mode controller is designed. The controller comprehensively considers the lateral error and heading error of the tracking control, and the stability of the control system is proven by the Lyapunov function. Finally, the performance of the designed controller is verified by the Matlab-Carsim HIL simulation platform. The test results of the Matlab-Carsim HIL simulation platform show that, compared with the general terminal sliding mode controller, the improved terminal sliding mode controller designed in this paper has higher control accuracy and better robustness.
