HighlightsAutomatic navigation technology in autonomous tractors is one of the key technologies in precision agriculture.A path-tracking control algorithm based on lateral deviation and yaw rate feedback is proposed.The modified steering angle was obtained by comparing the ideal yaw rate with the actual yaw rate.The results demonstrate the efficiency and superior accuracy of the proposed algorithm for tractor path-tracking control.Abstract. The performance of path-tracking control systems for autonomous tractors affects the quality and efficiency of farmland operations. The objective of this study was to develop a path-tracking control algorithm based on lateral deviation and yaw rate feedback. The autonomous tractor path lateral dynamics model was developed based on preview theory and a two-degree-of-freedom tractor model. According to the established dynamic model, a path-tracking control algorithm using yaw angular velocity correction was designed, and the ideal steering angle was obtained by lateral deviation and sliding mode control. The modified steering angle was obtained by a proportional-integral-derivative feedback controller after comparing the ideal yaw rate with the actual yaw rate, which was then combined with the ideal steering angle to obtain the desired steering angle. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and superior accuracy of the proposed tractor path-tracking control algorithm, enabling its application in automatic navigation control systems for autonomous tractors. Keywords: Autonomous tractor, Path-tracking control, Sliding mode control, Yaw rate feedback.

A control method is proposed to improve vehicle yaw stability by the integrated control of yaw moment control. The control strategy using feedback compensator is proposed, which produces direct yaw moment and front steering angle to control yaw rate, by actively controlling the front steering angle, the integrated control system makes the performance of the actual vehicle model follow that of an ideal vehicle model. A experiment is performed at different conditions, the results showed the presented method can effectively control the yaw rate, and at the same time lighten the burden of the driver.

As a key technology for intelligent vehicles, automatic parking is becoming increasingly popular in the area of research. Automatic parking technology is available for safe and quick parking operations without a driver, and improving the driving comfort while greatly reducing the probability of parking accidents. An automatic parking path planning and tracking control method is proposed in this paper to resolve the following issues presented in the existing automatic parking systems, that is, low degree of automation in vehicle control; lack of conformity between segmented path planning and real vehicle motion models; and low success rates of parking due to poor path tracking. To this end, this paper innovatively proposes preview correction which can be applied to parking path planning, and detects the curvature outliers in the parking path through the preview algorithm. In addition, it is also available for correction in advance to optimize the reasonable parking path. Meanwhile, the dual sliding mode variable structure control algorithm is used to formulate path tracking control strategies to improve the path tracking control effect and the vehicle control automation. Based on the above algorithm, an automatic parking system was developed and the real vehicle test was completed, thus exploring a highly intelligent automatic parking technology roadmap. This paper provides two key aspects of system solutions for an automatic parking system, i.e., parking path planning and path tracking control.

In order to obtain the ideal steering performance, an active rear wheel steering (ARS) controller, based on the variable transmission ratio control strategy, is developed in this paper. ARS controller using sliding mode technique is designed to follow the desired yaw rate which is calculated by the ideal variable transmission ratio. Simulation result shows that, the proposed control strategy both obtains desired steering performance and provides the obvious benefits for the human driver.

Sliding Mode Disturbance Observer

Aiming at the problem of fixed-time trajectory tracking control for high-order dynamic systems with external time-varying disturbance and input dead-zone, an adaptive fixed-time sliding mode control algorithm is proposed by employing a fixed-time sliding mode disturbance observer (FTSMDO) and high-order fixed-time sliding mode algorithm. Firstly, a FTSMDO is presented for the problem that estimating the compound disturbance is composed of input dead-zone and time-varying external disturbance in the higher-order dynamic system, which cannot be measured accurately. Furthermore, for the case that the total disturbance of the system has an unknown upper bound, the corresponding adaptive law is designed to estimate the unknown upper bound, and the fixed-time controller is designed based on FTSMDO algorithm to make all state variables converge in a fixed-time. Based on Lyapunov technique, the fixed-time convergence performance of the proposed algorithm is proved. The effectiveness of the presented fixed-time control algorithm is verified by simulating the depth tracking control of the underactuated underwater vehicle.
