Scaled Experimental Study of an Automatic Collision Avoidance System for Passenger Cars
Abstract
In this paper, an automatic pre-crash collision avoidancestrategy for cars is presented. It produces a collision avoidancemanoeuvre, if feasible, or, otherwise, an emergency braking toreduce the energy at the impact. The manoeuvre is generatedrelying on the use of sliding mode control. The performances ofthe proposed collision avoidance system are tested on a scaledradio-controlled car and the results are here discussed.
