Due to the complex driving conditions confronted by an autonomous vehicle, it is significant for the vehicle to possess a robust control system to achieve effective collision-avoidance performance. This paper proposes a neural network-based adaptive integral terminal sliding mode (NNAITSM) control scheme for the collision-avoidance steering control of an autonomous vehicle. In order to describe the vehicle’s lateral dynamics and path tracking characteristics, a two-degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) dynamic model and a kinematic model are adopted. Then, an NNAITSM controller is designed, where a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) scheme is utilized to online approximate the optimal upper bound of lumped system uncertainties such that prior knowledge about the uncertainties is not required. The stability of the control system is proved via Lyapunov, and the selection guideline of control parameters is provided. Last, Matlab-Carsim co-simulations are executed to test the performance of the designed controller under different road conditions and vehicle velocities. Simulation results show that compared with conventional sliding mode (CSM) and nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) control, the proposed NNAITSM control scheme owns evident superiority in not only higher tracking precision but also stronger robustness against various road surfaces and vehicle velocities.

This paper focuses on fast terminal sliding mode fault-tolerant control for a class of n-order nonlinear systems. Firstly, when the actuator fault occurs, the extended state observer (ESO) is used to estimate the lumped uncertainty and its derivative of the system, so that the fault boundary is not needed to know. The convergence of ESO is proved theoretically. Secondly, a new type of fast terminal sliding surface is designed to achieve global fast convergence, non-singular control law and chattering reduction, and the Lyapunov stability criterion is used to prove that the system states converge to the origin of the sliding mode surface in finite time, which ensures the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm are verified by two simulation experiments of different order systems.
