Abstract

Despite the advanced technologies used in recent years, the lack of robust systems still exists. The automated steering system is a critical and complex task in the domain of the autonomous vehicle’s applications. This paper is a part of project that deals with model-based control strategy as one of the most common control strategies. The main objective is to present the implementations of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for an autonomous vehicle steering system in regards to trajectory tracking application. The obtained results are analysed and the efficiency of the use of MPC controller were discussed based on its behaviour and performance.
