Global Exponential Stabilization of the Kinematic Bicycle Model of a Car in Polar Coordinates
At parking speeds, the kinematic bicycle is the prevailing model for car-like vehicles. Yet, despite its wide use, stabilizing feedback laws for this system are scarce in the literature, and existing designs often do not reproduce realistic parking maneuvers. This limitation is inherent to the Cartesian coordinates, where Brockett's condition rules out smooth static feedback stabilization. We bypass this obstruction by transforming the system into polar coordinates together with additional range-normalized coordinates that encode the geometry of human-like parking maneuvers. In the transformed coordinates, the dynamics take a strict-feedback form, enabling a nonconventional backstepping design. We exploit the particular structure to develop smooth feedback laws that achieve global exponential stabilization in the transformed coordinates which in turn generates parking trajectories resembling the one performed by human drivers through feedback alone.
