The article describes a structural and functional model of a self-driving car control system, which generates a wide class of mathematical problems. Currently, control systems for self-driving cars are considered at several levels of abstraction and implementation: Mechanics, electronics, perception, scene recognition, control, security, integration of all subsystems into a solid system. Modern research often considers particular problems to be solved for each of the levels separately. In this paper, a parameterized model of the integration of individual components into a complex control system for a self-driving car is considered. Such a model simplifies the design and development of self-driving control systems with configurable automation tools, taking into account the specifics of the solving problem. The parameterized model can be used for CAD design in the field of self-driving car development. A full cycle of development of a control system for a self-driving truck was implemented, which was rub in the “Robocross 2021” competition. The software solution was tested on more than 40 launches of a self-driving truck. Parameterization made it possible to speed up the development of the control system, expressed in man-hours, by 1.5 times compared to the experience of the authors of the article who participated in the same competition in 2018 and 2019. The proposed parameterization was used in the development of individual CAD elements described in this article. Additionally, the implementation of specific modules and functions is a field for experimental research.

The aim of this paper is to develop models that would enable a standardized representation of the structure, functions of computer-based control systems (CBCS) and quantification of the risk (fault tolerance) of automated control systems and their primary components, i.e. CBCS, under information technology interference (ITI). The paper shows the relevance and importance of CBCS models and estimation of the risk of operation of automated process control systems (APCS) under various ITI (computer attacks). Intruder ITI under consideration includes hardware, firmware and software-based interference able of blocking communication channels, disrupting information availability and integrity, as well as targeted and lasting information technology interference with an automated system, namely with the use of malware. The structural and functional model of a computer-based control system as the primary component of a higher-level system (APCS) developed in this paper is composed of a set of diagrams and descriptions of functions. The structural and functional model includes the following: channel structure of the control system’s main cycle (reading, processing of data, recording of output values, as well as communication subsystem operations), structural and functional diagram of CBCS of various types depending on the availability and utilization of a communication channel within the structure of the control cycles, standard vulnerability certificate. The diagrams detail the standard functions, operating procedures and information interaction of CBCS modules with the environment via communication channels. The ITI-specific risk model of APCS and CBCS as its part is described by indicators that characterize the conditional harm and condition of the control system, in which it is able to recover its operability, or whether external intervention is required that would affect not only the control system itself, but the controlled process as well. The following indicators were examined: characteristic points and parameters of risk function based on the Weibull-Gnedenko distribution, statistical estimation of CBCS protection, risk function, dynamic estimation of the risk of successful implementation of ITI against CBCS. It is assumed that the values of the parameters required for the calculation of the risk parameters and CBCS protection were obtained: - empirically based on structural and parametric analysis of the design features, functional dynamics and vulnerabilities of CBCS - as part of testbed simulation of CBCS as computer network users under ITI - experimentally based on the frequency of successful ITI threats,and the protection indicators are also extrapolated to the whole CBCS lifecycle by means of a dynamic risk function-based correction using the Weibull-Gnedenko distribution. In the conclusion it is noted that the developed method of assessment of CBCS protection under ITI allows evaluating the risks of successful implementation by an intruder of malicious actions against CBCS and APCS in general, which predetermines the requirement for timely elimination of CBCS vulnerabilities and adoption of additional organizational and technical measures aimed at improving information security of automated control systems.

The paper proposes a novel learning-based coordination strategy for lateral control systems of automated vehicles. The motivation of the research is to improve the performance level of the coordinated system compared to the conventional model-based reconfigurable solutions. During vehicle maneuvers, the coordinated control system provides torque vectoring and front-wheel steering angle in order to guarantee the various lateral dynamical performances. The performance specifications are guaranteed on two levels, i.e., primary performances are guaranteed by Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controllers, while secondary performances (e.g., economy and comfort) are maintained by a reinforcement-learning-based (RL) controller. The coordination of the control systems is carried out by a supervisor. The effectiveness of the proposed coordinated control system is illustrated through high velocity vehicle maneuvers.
