Pilotless automobile lateral control method based on turning curvature estimation

The invention discloses a pilotless automobile lateral control method based on turning curvature estimation. The pilotless automobile lateral control method based on the turning curvature estimation comprises setup of a preconceived track, collection of GPS-INS integrated positioning system data and steering wheel turning angle command signals send out by an autopilot, and especially is a method that a preview distance based on a road curvature is set firstly, and then a preview point A and a preview point B are reset according to the preview distance, later, longitudes and latitudes of the preview point A and the preview point B are converted into a vehicle coordinate system to work out an optimum turning curvature, and steering wheel turning angle controlled quantity is worked out according to the optimum turning curvature and is output to the autopilot to achieve lateral control of a pilotless automobile. According to the pilotless automobile lateral control method based on the turning curvature estimation, through actual measurement, the maximum tracking error is only 0.4m when the speed of the automobile is at 20km/h, the maximum tracking error is only 0.6m when the speed of direction change is 5km/h; both accurate tracking of various kinds of complex tracks is achieved, and steering wheel shaking caused by single-point preview feedback control is avoided, and the control quantity of the pilotless automobile is more smooth; the method can be widely used in pilotless driving control of the various kinds of vehicles.
