Abstract
We study the use of kinematic and dynamic vehicle models for model-based control design used in autonomous driving. In particular, we analyze the statistics of the forecast error of these two models by using experimental data. In addition, we study the effect of discretization on forecast error. We use the results of the first part to motivate the design of a controller for an autonomous vehicle using model predictive control (MPC) and a simple kinematic bicycle model. The proposed approach is less computationally expensive than existing methods which use vehicle tire models. Moreover it can be implemented at low vehicle speeds where tire models become singular. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach at various speeds on windy roads.Keywords
