Control Barrier Function-based Lateral Control of Autonomous Vehicle for Roundabout Crossing
Abstract
A lateral control scheme is presented to control Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) utilizing the nonlinear dynamics of the vehicle, based on the concepts of Control Lyapunov Functions (CLFs) to enforce stability and High Order Control Barrier Functions (HOCBFs) to impose safety constraints for the vehicle. The control input is then calculated using Quadratic Programming (QP) optimization while limiting the control input due to vehicle limitations and passenger comfort at a roundabout crossing. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the proposed lateral controller

Safe Merging Control in Mixed Vehicular Traffic
Hamdipoor, Vahid; Meskin, Nader; Cassandras, Christos G. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2023 , Conference)Despite the potential benefits of a traffic system with only Coordinated and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), it is expected that Human Driven Vehicles (HDVs) and CAVs co-exist for the foreseeable future. Due to uncertainty and ... -
Safe control synthesis using environmentally robust control barrier functions
Hamdipoor, Vahid; Meskin, Nader; Cassandras, Christos G. ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)In this paper, we study a safe control design for dynamical systems in the presence of uncertainty in a dynamical environment. The worst-case error approach is considered to formulate robust Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) ...
