자율주행 시스템의 수용성 보장은 중요하다. 시스템 수용성 요소 중 하나인 자율주행 종방향 제어기는 상위 제어기와 하위 제어기로 구성된다. 상위 제어기는 Cruise 제어와 Space 제어를 상황에 맞는 제어를 결정하고 필요한 목표 속도를 만든다. 하위 제어기에서는 목표 속도를 추종하기 위한 가속도 신호를 만들어서 제어를 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 상위 제어기에서 Cruise 제어와 Space 제어전환 문제에서 발생하는 차간거리 변동을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 Cruise 제어에서 Space 제어로 전환되는 시점에 Cruise 제어에 Approach 알고리즘을 추가하여 전환 거리에서 Space 제어로 전환되도록 하는 것이다. 이를 통해서 ± 12m 초기 오차에서 ±4m까지 오차를 개선했으며 실차검증을 수행하였다.

운전자에게 편의성을 제공하는 차량의 주행관련 Advanced driver assist system (ADAS)에는 차량의 종방향과 횡방향 운동에 대한 제어기가 요구된다. 횡방향 제어를 위해서는 조향 시스템의 조향각 제어가 요구되는데 최근 구조적으로 간단하고 연비향상, 차량의 중량 감소, 빠른 응답성을 가지고 있는 전기적 파워 조향 (Electric power steering, EPS) 시스템이 자동차 산업에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 차량의 주행관련 ADAS를 사용하여 자율 주행 시 EPS 시스템은 상위 제어기에서 계산된 필요한 조향각을 추종 할 수 있도록 조향 핸들의 각 제어를 해야 한다. 그러나 일반적인 EPS 시스템은 운전자가 조향 핸들에 인가된 토크를 보조해 줄 수 있는 토크를 출력해 준다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방법들을 설명한다. 먼저 EPS 시스템의 기본 기능에 대해서 설명을 하고, 자율 추행 차량을 위한 조항 핸들의 각 제어를 위한 proportional-integral 제어, 슬라이딩 모드 제어 (Sliding mode control), 관측기 기반 비선형 댐핑 제어(Observer based nonlinear damping control) 등과 같은 다양한 기법의 제어 알고리즘들에 대한 방법들이 고찰되었다.

This paper presents a vehicle mass and road grade estimator for developing an automated bus. To consider the dynamic characteristics of a bus varying with the number of passengers, the longitudinal controller needs the estimation of the vehicle's mass and road grade in real-time and utilizes the information to adjust the control gains. Discrete Kalman filter is applied to estimate the time-varying road grade, and the recursive least squares algorithm is adopted to account for the constant mass estimation. After being implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, the estimators are evaluated with the dynamic model and experimental data of the target bus. The proposed estimators will be applied to complement the algorithm of the longitudinal controller and proceed with algorithm verification.

This paper presents a development of throttle and brake controller for autonomous vehicle simulation environment. Most of 3D simulator control autonomous vehicle by throttle and brake command. Therefore additional longitudinal controller is required to calculate pedal input from desired acceleration. The controller consists of two parts, feedback controller and feedforward controller. The feedback controller is designed to compensate error between the actual acceleration and desired acceleration calculated from autonomous driving algorithm. The feedforward controller is designed for fast response and the output is determined by the actual vehicle speed and desired acceleration. To verify the performance of the controller, simulations were conducted for various scenarios, and it was confirmed that the controller can successfully follow the target acceleration.

This paper suggests an algorithm for detecting fault of longitudinal controller in autonomous vehicles. Guaranteeing safety in fault situation is essential because electronic devices in vehicle are dependent each other. Several methods like alarm to driver, ceding control to driver, and emergency stop are considered to cope with fault. This research investigates the fault monitoring process in fail-safe system, for controller which is responsible for accelerating and decelerating control in vehicle. Residual is computed using desired acceleration control command and actual acceleration, and detection of its abnormal increase leads to the decision that system has fault. Before computing residual for controller, health monitoring process of acceleration signal is performed using hardware and analytic redundancy. In fault monitoring process for controller, a process model which is fitted using driving data is considered to improve the performance. This algorithm is simulated via MATLAB tool to verify performance.

This paper presents a longitudinal acceleration controller that can be applied to real vehicles (nonlinear and time-varing systems) with only a simple experiment regardless of the type of vehicle and the control interface structure. The controller consists of a feedforward term for fast response, a zero-throttle acceleration compensation term, and a feedback term (P gain) to compensate for errors in the feedforward term, and another feedback term (I gain) to respond to disturbances such as slope. In order to easily apply it to real vehicles, there are only two tuning parameters, feedforward terms of throttle and brake control. And the remaining parameters can be calculated immediately when the two parameters are decided. The tuning procedure is also unified so that it can be quickly and easily applied to various vehicles. The performance of the controller was evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink and Truksim's European Ben model. In addition, the controller was successfully implemented to 3 medium-sized vehicle (HMC Solati), which is composed of different control interface characteristic. Vehicle driving performance was evaluated on the test track and on the urban roads in Siheung and Seoul.

This paper proposes actuator fault detection and adaptive fault-tolerant control algorithms using performance index and human-like learning for longitudinal autonomous vehicles. Conventional longitudinal controller for autonomous driving consists of supervisory, upper level and lower level controllers. In this paper, feedback control law and PID control algorithm have been used for upper level and lower level controllers, respectively. For actuator fault-tolerant control, adaptive rule has been designed using the gradient descent method with estimated coefficients. In order to adjust the control parameter used for determination of adaptation gain, human-like learning algorithm has been designed based on perceptron learning method using control errors and control parameter. It is designed that the learning algorithm determines current control parameter by saving it in memory and updating based on the cost function-based gradient descent method. Based on the updated control parameter, the longitudinal acceleration has been computed adaptively using feedback law for actuator fault-tolerant control. The finite window-based performance index has been designed for detection and evaluation of actuator performance degradation using control error.

This paper presents an adaptive feedback based actuator fault detection and tolerant control algorithms for longitudinal functional safety of autonomous driving. In order to ensure the functional safety of autonomous vehicles, fault detection and tolerant control algorithms are needed for sensors and actuators used for autonomous driving. In this study, adaptive feedback control algorithm to compute the longitudinal acceleration for autonomous driving has been developed based on relationship function using states. The relationship function has been designed using feedback gains and error states for adaptation rule design. The coefficients in the relationship function have been estimated using recursive least square with multiple forgetting factors. The MIT rule has been adopted to design the adaptation rule for feedback gains online. The stability analysis has been conducted based on Lyapunov direct method. The longitudinal acceleration computed by adaptive control algorithm has been compared to the actual acceleration for fault detection of actuators used for longitudinal autonomous driving.

This paper proposes multiple RLS and actuator performance index-based adaptive actuator fault-tolerant control and detection algorithms for longitudinal autonomous driving. The proposed algorithm computes the desired acceleration using feedback law for longitudinal autonomous driving. When actuator fault or performance degradation exists, it is designed that the desired acceleration is adjusted with the calculated feedback gains based on multiple RLS and gradient descent method for fault-tolerant control. In order to define the performance index, the error between the desired and actual accelerations is used. The window-based weighted error standard deviation is computed with the design parameters. Fault level decision algorithm that can represent three fault levels such as normal, warning, emergency levels is proposed in this study. Performance evaluation under various driving scenarios with actuator fault was conducted based on co-simulation of Matlab/Simulink and commercial software (CarMaker).
