In order to solve the problems of longitudinal and lateral control coupling, low accuracy and poor real-time of existing control strategy in the process of active collision avoidance, a longitudinal and lateral collision avoidance control strategy of intelligent vehicle based on model predictive control is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the vehicle nonlinear coupling dynamics model is established. Secondly, considering the accuracy and real-time requirements of intelligent vehicle motion control in pedestrian crossing scene, and combining the advantages of centralized control and decentralized control, an integrated unidirectional decoupling compensation motion control strategy is proposed. The proposed strategy uses two pairs of unidirectional decoupling compensation controllers to realize the mutual integration and decoupling in both longitudinal and lateral directions. Compared with centralized control, it simplifies the design of controller, retains the advantages of centralized control, and improves the real-time performance of control. Compared with the decentralized control, it considers the influence of longitudinal and lateral control, retains the advantages of decentralized control, and improves the control accuracy. Finally, the proposed control strategy is simulated and analyzed in six working conditions, and compared with the existing control strategy. The results show that the proposed control strategy is obviously better than the existing control strategy in terms of control accuracy and real-time performance, and can effectively improve vehicle safety and stability.

This article presents a novel coordinated nonlinear adaptive backstepping collision avoidance control strategy for autonomous ground vehicles with uncertain and unmodeled terms. A nonlinear vehicle collision avoidance vehicle model which describes the coupled lateral and longitudinal dynamic features of autonomous ground vehicles is constructed. Then, a modified artificial potential field approach which can ensure that the total potential field of the target is goal minimum, is proposed to produce a collision-free trajectory for autonomous ground vehicles in real-time. Furthermore, in order to handle with the features of coupled and parameter uncertainties of autonomous ground vehicles, an adaptive neural network–based backstepping trajectory tracking control approach is proposed for collision avoidance control system of autonomous ground vehicles, and the stability of this proposed control system is proven by the Lyapunov theory. Finally, the co-simulation and experimental tests are implemented and the results show that the proposed collision avoidance control strategy has excellent tracking performance.

This article introduces a novel methodology for dealing with collision avoidance for groups of mobile robots. In particular, full dynamics are considered, since each robot is modeled as a Lagrangian dynamical system moving in a three-dimensional environment. Gyroscopic forces are utilized for defining the collision avoidance control strategy: This kind of forces leads to avoiding collisions, without interfering with the convergence properties of the multi-robot system’s desired control law. Collision avoidance introduces, in fact, a perturbation on the nominal behavior of the system: We define a method for choosing the direction of the gyroscopic force in an optimal manner, in such a way that perturbation is minimized. Collision avoidance and convergence properties are analytically demonstrated, and simulation results are provided for validation purpose.
