Abstract
This article presents a fuzzy controller for autonomous vehicle to intelligently recognize running environment and avoid an obstacle, which is constructed by rough sets (RSs) and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Firstly, RSs are considered to propose a pyramid normalization (PN) method for normalizing state parameters (SPs) which are defined to recognize relative position such as distance and angle among a vehicle, an obstacle and target pathway, to improve the adaptability of complex environment and optimize the database of driving knowledge. Secondly, ANFIS is employed to design a controller with self-position azimuth correction (SPAC) for performing trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance. Finally, the proposed methods have been implemented on the model vehicle called “RoboCar”, and compared with various fuzzy control approaches such as the initial SPs with ANFIS, the normalized SPs with fuzzy neural network (FNN), and the initial SPs with FNN. Time, maximum tracking error and mean tracking error are calculated to evaluate the performance. The experimental results with four kinds of target pathways have shown that the PN-ANFIS-based controller has saved time (7.6%), reduced maximum tracking error (8.1%) and mean tracking error (8.5%).

adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is employed to design a controller with self-position azimuth correction (SPAC), and eight fuzzy if- rules are used to construct the fuzzy inference system for performing trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance
In order to perform the fuzzy control method on the basis of rough sets and neural network, many effective points are sampled on the test area, and are expressed by coordinate values which are set with the interval of about 20 cm
Summary
With the aging of society and the prejudice of some people, agricultural workers decline year by year at present. Pyramid normalization (PN) method is proposed to reprocess state parameters (SPs) which are defined to recognize relative position such as distance and angle among a vehicle, an obstacle and target pathway. In order to perform the fuzzy control method on the basis of rough sets and neural network, many effective points are sampled on the test area, and are expressed by coordinate values which are set with the interval of about 20 cm When new information of the current vehicle’s position is obtained, steering angle is output to decide the direction of the vehicle
