Motion Control of Autonomous Vehicles

This module provides practical knowledge about the driving dynamics of motor vehicles, autonomous driving and the components that influence them. After successfully completing the module, students will be able to

• Use terms from vehicle lateral dynamics
• Name suitable driving tests for the investigation of linear driving behavior
• Set up suitable mechanical substitute models to map lateral dynamic driving behavior
• Describe the functionality of stability control systems (ESC)
• Describe environment perception, path planning and motion control for autonomous driving

• Modeling and description of the linear lateral dynamics range
• Stationary and transient linear lateral dynamics behavior
• Stability control (ESC) for manual driving
• Overall autonomous vehicle system
• Motion control of autonomous vehicles (Level IV)

All downloads related to the lecture and exercise will be provided via Stud.IP.
