Presentation: Research on Automatic Emergency Line Change Control Strategy Based on MPC
Published:
- Abstract:
In this work, we showcase the performance of a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) in lane change scenario.
- Methods:
We estibasilshed the vehicle dynamic model and conducted simulation.
- Results: Simulation.
Real car testing was conducted.
Presentation: Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient based Cooperative Platoon Logitudinal Control Strategy

Note: This work was reviewed and recommended for presentation at the TRB Annual Meeting 2021 by the TRB committee, not presented due to COVID-19
Presentation: Aggressive Autonomous Control on Snow and Ice
Published:
- Abstract:
In this work, we showcase the performance of a Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) Controller in adverse weather conditions with our 1：5 testing platform: CODMAX
- Methods:
We applied the MPPI controller used in AutoRally, tested the car on three diferent surfaces (dirt, snow, ice) to explore how much performance degradation due to lower friction.
- Results:
The table below shows the test results.
