報告摘要：
Until now, vehicle motion control has been the responsibility of a human driver. Intelligent vehicle developments include driver support and intervention systems that may initiate automated control actions without any command from the driver. While a fully functional self-driving car is many years away, research interest in autonomous and intelligent driving functions has never been higher. Examples include active safety systems which operate at the limits of friction, e.g. “terminal understeer mitigation” or “post-impact” path and speed control. In such cases, the vehicle uses a full range of sensors and actuators – especially individual wheel braking – to provide agile control that is beyond the skill of even the best human drivers. This talk describes such intelligent driving functions and focuses on a fundamental issue: whether to pre-define a reference trajectory before control is applied. In recent papers it has been shown that such a pre-defined reference path can be both unnecessary and undesirable, especially for vehicle control at the limits of available friction.
