Robust Prescribed Performance Control of Uncertain Vehicle Lateral System under State Constraints

Abstract

Abstract In the study of the zero-error tracking control problem for vehicle lateral control systems under full-state constraints and nonparametric uncertainties, the zero-error tracking control problem is presented in this paper. A neural adaptive tracking control scheme is proposed by combining the error transformation of the vehicle lateral control system with the barrier Lyapunov function, which realizes that the tracking error of the vehicle lateral control converges to a prescribed compact set at a controllable or specified convergence rate in a specified finite time. The scheme has the following significant characteristics: 1) Based on the Nussbaum gain, the preset new energy finite-time control algorithm, the tracking error of the vehicle lateral control system with non-parametric uncertainty and external disturbance decreases to zero with t → ∞. In addition, it also has the control ability to cope with the presence or even unknown moment of inertia of the system. 2) Barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) ensures the bounded input of the neural network during the whole system envelope, and ensures the stable learning and approximation of the neural network. Furthermore, the bounded stability of the closed-loop system is proved by Lyapunov analysis. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control method are verified by simulation.
