Abstract

First, the experienced drivers with good driving skills are used as objects of learning and road steering test data of skilled drivers are collected in this article. To better simulate human drivers, skilled drivers' steering characteristics are analyzed under different steering conditions. Vehicle trajectories of skilled drivers are fitted by general regression neural network, and the ideal path trajectory is obtained. Second, the model predictive control algorithm is used to build the driver model. According to the requirements of quickly and steadily tracking the track of skilled drivers, vehicle kinematics model is established. The objective function and the corresponding constraint conditions of the driver model based on model predictive control were determined. Finally, numerical simulations results demonstrate that the driver model based on model predictive control can accurately track the reference trajectory of skilled drivers under the four typical steering conditions, and the tracking effect is better than the traditional single-point preview driver model and path tracking method based on a β -spline curve.
