... car corrected itself on the path. Another approach was tried with the dynamic curve estimate. After applying the update equation, (4.10), a was thresholded. If it was greater than 0.5, it was ... calculated curvature was greater than this threshold, c(s) was set to 1. The car was initially placed so that it was starting on the straight section of the path and oriented so that d and θ...

Because the rear sensor array is placed directly below the rear axle, the error obtained from that sensor is taken to be d, the car s lateral displacement from the path. 5.2.3 Heading ... Heading Angle Calculation The controller must know the heading angle, θ p , the angle between the car and the path. The value can be calculated using the displacement errors at the front an...
