Abstract

This paper is the fifteenth in a series of research papers presenting the control of autonomous vehicles. It handles the control of the yaw rate of a farm tractor using an I-first order, feedforward 2/2 second-order compensators, PD-I and PD-PI controllers from the second generation of PID controllers compared with a P controller from the first generation of PID controllers. Some efficient tuning techniques for the proposed compensators/controllers are applied with relevant performance indices. The step time response of the control system using the four investigated compensators/controllers is presented and compared and the time-based characteristics are extracted and compared. The comparison reveals the best compensator/controller among the four ones presented depending on a graphical and quantitative comparison study for reference input tracking.

Keywords

Autonomous control, farm tractor yaw rate control, I-first order compensator, 2/2 second-order compensator, PD-I controller, PD-PI controller, controller tuning.
