Abstract
If disturbances are not properly handled, autonomous driving in commercial vehicles may result in significant tracking errors or even deviate from the intended trajectory. This article proposes a solution to these issues by introducing a compensatory lateral control technique for path tracking that employs model predictive control (MPC) as its underlying control strategy. Additionally, to enhance the robustness of the MPC, the article presents a control algorithm that combines MPC with active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) compensation. Also, this article introduces the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) as a technique for optimizing the parameters of the extended state observer (ESO) within the framework of ADRC. The introduced control strategy is evaluated via a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiment, where it is demonstrated that the approach can precisely track an upper reference locus while remaining resistant to external interference.
