Abstract
Lane change maneuvers, are important contributors to road traffic accidents on highway. In this paper, we propose a new safe lane change trajectory model and collision avoidance control method for Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)-level 2 automatic driving vehicles. First, a Gaussian distribution is used to describe the new trajectory model that uses pure steering and combined braking. According to regional and progressive states, a new safe lane change meaning is defined. Second, we design a new four-level automatic driving mode and an effective decision mechanism that considers safety and ergonomics. Moreover, a new trajectory tracking controller combined with a decision mechanism was designed using feedback linearization, verified using typical lane-change scenarios. Finally, based on a physical simulation platform, PreScan, the hardware-in-the-loop simulation result demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our method. This paper provides a valuable reference on an expert and intelligent system methodology for automatic driving vehicles, which will be helpful for improving highway traffic safety and efficiency.
