초록

In this paper, a neural network technique for automatic steering control of a four wheel drive autonomous highway snowplow vehicle is presented. Controllers are designed by the LQR method based on the vehicle model. Then, neural network is used as an auxiliary controller to minimize lateral tracking error under the presence of load. Simulation studies of LQR control and neural network control are conducted for the vehicle model under a virtual snowplowing situation. Tracking performances are also compared for two and four wheeled steering vehicles.
