Models and Predictive Control for Nonplanar Vehicle Navigation
We present a simplified model of a vehicle driving on a nonplanar road. A parametric surface is used to describe the nonplanar road which can describe any combination of curvature, bank and slope. We show that the proposed modeling approach generalizes planar vehicle models that reference a centerline, such as the Frenet model. We use the proposed approach for vehicle path planning and following using model predictive control. We also model and control vehicle contact with the road surface. We demonstrate that the proposed controller improves speed and lane following on complex roads compared to planar vehicle controllers, and mitigates loss of control on complex road surfaces including off-camber turns.
