This work presents outdoor test results of autonomous navigation system based on two different reference points of PurePursuit algorithm for a 10-ton articulated research platform. PurePursit is commonly used simplified tracking algorithm based on geometric calculation of desired steering angle by pursuing certain number of points/distance ahead on given path from a fixed reference point of vehicle. Choice of fixed reference point effects the tracking accuracy particularly for articulated/center-steered vehicles. In this experimental work, PurePursuit algorithm with a virtual reference point(PPV) and commonly used front-axle reference point(PPF) is evaluated for heavy duty articulated vehicles in outdoor experiments. Experimental data shows that choice of reference point in PurePursuit algorithm for articulated vehicle has impact on tracking accuracy in terms of crosstrack errors and heading errors. Navigation tests were performed on a flat asphalt surface for paths of sharp complexities i-e a path with continuous curvature (circular path) and a path with sharp turns (zigzag path) with different initial conditions i-e initial position of vehicle. In general, it can be concluded that PurePursuit algorithm with front reference point (PPF) produced fewer crosstrack errors while PurePursuit algorithm with virtual midpoint reference (PPV) produced fewer heading errors. ; Validerad;2024;Nivå 2;2024-01-22 (signyg) Full text license: CC BY-NC-ND
